Check back with us again, as we may open again in the future![/i][/center] [img]http://media.animevice.com/uploads/2/23927/731207-mjv_art_org___166818_1600x1200_akatoki___game__flower__flowers__sky_cloud__clouds__tree__trees__plant__plants_.jpg[/img] In the middle of town there's an old prestigious academy, Athalia Academy. It's been around for years! But, most of the people in the town have never been inside. They've only seen glimpses of the students inside. There is usually a large locked gate out front and students can be seen walking around the courtyard. Most of the towns people just take it as it is and assume their kids will never be able to get in because none of them ever do. Some have applied their students and been denied, even very wealth families with very smart kids, still are denied. The school is very selective in even allowing visitors, much less it's students. It's a wonder they even have so many. --- A young man walks into the back gate of the school, where students enter. It's a bright, sunny day, he pulls his hair back and looks around as he enters. Seems he entered into the garden area off to the side. He'd visited the school before but it always seemed to have more students than this. As he looks around, there are a few students scattered around the yard, doing their own things. [b]"Surprised?"[/b] A voice says from behind him. He turned to see a [url=http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/7/197407.jpg]dark skinned man with white hair and yellow eyes.[/url] [b]"A... A bit."[/b] The boy replied, looking up at the man. At his reply, the man let out a loud bellowing chuckle. [b]"Don't worry. It's magic. The school has a barrier around it, lets them see what we want them to see."[/b] He told the boy, smiling brightly down at him. [b]"Welcome to Athalia Academy! I'm Criston, student body president. It's nice to meet you. Here, let me show you around the school."[/b] He continues, walking ahead, motioning for the boy to follow him. He follows, though a bit reluctantly as the man takes him through the school. It seemed like he was an older student by the way he spoke. [center][b]~Fast Forward, Opening Ceremony, All Students are in Auditorium~[/b][/center] [b]"Welcome students."[/b] A man bellowed from the stage, his white hair and white eyes smiling down at the students. [b]"I'm Vice-Principal Rackshaw. Feel free to call me Mr. R."[/b] He continued, winking at the students in a joking manner. [b]"I'm sorry your principal, Ms. Cross couldn't be here today, but I'm here to welcome you all to Athalia Academy!"[/b] He told them, leaning against the podium in a casual manner. [b]"Some of you are new, and some of you are... not so new. Yeah, I'm talking to you Criston!"[/b] He yelled out to the crowd, pointing to a certain white haired tan boy sitting in the middle rows. [b]"Yeah, yeah. Stop pestering me, old man!"[/b] Criston replied back from the crowd, a smile on his face. Mr. Rackshaw chuckled and continued on, looking at the students. [b]"As most of you know, you're here because you're special. You don't belong out there with the humans, the regular one's anyway. You're here because you want to learn not only scholarly knowledge, but about yourself. Explore your possibilities and make some life long friends. Use this campus as much as you can and gain from it what I hope you all will leave here with. The confidence to hold your head up high and say, 'I am [i]myself[/i]!'"[/b] Mr. Rackshaw bellowed once again, his voice loud and proud as he smiles down at the students. [b]"Now go, there is much to be done and so little time to do it in."[/b] He finished, smiling and walking off the stage, disappearing into the darkness. --- [hider=CS Skeleton] [Please put appearance here.

Just know that they are available. Athalia Academy is very much a school that follows the philosophy of existentialism. In other words, the students learn what and when they want to learn. So, there are basic lectures that will be held but not mandatory. There is also a very large library with many teachers available to help students.- ~Basic Core Classes~ -These classes will and can be anything you want them to be. If you want the teacher to be lecturing over Socrates, then they will. It's all up to you guys.- English Math Science History ~Electives~ -If there are [i]any[/i] electives you want to add, go for it. Band Art Sports/P.E. [This includes swimming, rock climbing, baseball, football, etc etc.] Computers Cooking Etc [/hider] [hider=Clubs] These are the listed clubs so far. Midnight Snacking Club (MSC) Members: The entire student body. Club activities: Spread the joy of midnight snacking, convert the chip preference of all students to Doritos over any other brand and type, and concoct delicious, novel, and incredibly healthy snacks to munch on in the wee hours of the day. Oh, and have pillow fight tournaments. Note: The proper formal attire for the MSC are your best pajamas. Bathrobes are also acceptable. Student Body Government (SBG) Notable Members: Criston [President], Luna [Class Secretary of Events] (Other positions are open! but will be filled with Nameless NPCs unless taken.)

You want to go outside? Here are few things you might want to keep in mind. (We [b]strongly[/b] suggest them.) 1) Don't use your powers. If you can't control your powers, ask for an inhibitor from the office. 2) Dress like a normal human, try not to stand out. If you need a way to hide tails, horns, scales, wings, etc. Ask for the inhibitor, it changes your form as well. 3) Go in pairs. Never go alone. 4) Curfew is strictly after midnight. If you are not back on campus before then, the gates will be locked and you will be on your own until morning. 5) You are also subject to humans laws. If you look 16 but are really 207, please don't drink. We will not bail you out. Failure to comply to these rules can lead to days in the Null Chamber, where your powers are nullified. If you are reprimanded on multiple occasions, the school has no other choice but to strip you of your powers and expel you. You may, however, return and stand trial to see if the school will let you back in. Have fun on your trip!

[/hider] [hider=About Dorm and Other Buildings] Okay, so a few things to tell you about. One, there is only one building currently in use as a dorm. Two students to a room and genders alternate floors. 100s denotes ground floor and it has 9 rooms in total. 110-119 denote the second floor, this floor also has 9 room in total and the floors go on from there. [center]~Dorm~[/center] [img=http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss299/emilyngracy/emilyngracy001/Athalia_zps59d7ad83.png] The rooms are actually fairly spacious. Each room has a kitchenette, a small living area with a balcony view of either the gardens or the front gate, and two rooms with a conjoined bathroom. That means the characters share bathrooms (let the shenanigans begin). The rooms upon move in have a bed with no sheets, a bare desk, a bare closet and a bare dresser. Everything else brought is extra. Also, on the top floor there are practice rooms available for students to use as well as a rec-room where students can come to hang out, watch TV and play pool. Now, as far as rooms and buildings you want the school to have, feel free to be creative. There's a cafeteria inside the main building and classrooms on either side. At the back is a large gymnasium with a basket ball court, weight systems and the like as well as a pool and a rock climbing wall. In the back near the gymnasium, is the garden area. It has a small pond with benches all around so that students can sit and do their work in relaxation. If you have any other buildings rooms you'd like, feel free to ask. :) [/hider] [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/27439/posts/ooc?page=1#post-773552]Character Listing! :D[/url] [hider=Your GM and co-GM] [b]~GM~[/b] Hi! I'm Emily(HylianRose). Feel free to call me whatever you wish. If I don't like it, I won't respond. :P A few things about me, I'm a college student. So, my time is precious. If I decide that my school work is more important than replying to your post, you'll have to forgive me. I don't pay 36K to mess around. -awkward smile- Still, I really like RPs like this and my favorite one died, so I made a new one! And boy, has it kicked off! (I've never had much luck with GMing, so we'll see how this goes, now won't we?) I'm 19 years old. I play trumpet in my college's Concert and Pep Band. (I get paid for it, so yeah.) I have a boyfriend of 6 years. <3 I like the Legend of Zelda, Manga, Books, Language, Human Thought, My Characters, my cat (Gracie, if you ask for pictures, just be warned you're opening a can of worms.), RPing, Table-top RPing, and just about any time of snack food known to man. (Almost all of them bad for me.) I'm open to talking and conversation and I'm pretty laid back. Feel free to ask me any questions, even if it doesn't even pertain to the RP. I like talking. :3 [b]~co-GM~[/b] NarayanK :D "Call me NK or NarayanK or whatever that comes into your mind when the term 'NarayanK' appears! I'm here to be a secondary superviser (aka. Co-GM), and I'll be checking up new Character Sheets for corrections that are needed, and as ordered by the GM, accept them! As of now, our dear Game Master is quite busy, so I'd like to give her a break and have [i]myself[/i] do some of the [s]dirty work[/s] informative work of being a co-GM. I like writing stories, reading, fixing my terrifyingly retarded internet router, and video games! I tend to be a grammar nazi to myself, and I love getting feedback for some reason. But most importantly, [i]I love roleplaying![/i] [/hider]
