Let's mash up Supernatural Academy with Crime Solving?

[EverAfter]

Many apologies as I'm doing this from my mobile so be cautioned: there may be spelling errors and/or auto correct errors.
Okay, so my insomnia-induced brain that normally helps me write my eerier music, instead had the idea of a roleplay. So I was thinking of doing a thing where we'd have this school, set in either modern day London or New York, that houses and educates students with "abnormal potential and capabilities." This school, of course, would be large, high tech, and accepting only the best of the best (or the ones with boat loads of cash)
However! Plots and twists incoming! The general basis that I've been thinking of is: you have your student (aged anywhere from 15-18) with a power chosen from a handy Wikipedia list of super hero powers that I will link when I have the capability to do so. And you have your crime: the headmistress of the school is taking students in one by one (seemingly random students) and performing tests on them to alter their genetics and make them into something no normal human should be. Your goal: balance your schooling, training, and also save the academy and potentially the world at the same time.
If interest pops up, I will more than happily post more OOC/IC information, as well as character sheets with samples!
Wheeeeee have fun guise!

[nonsequitur]

Interested.

Interested depending on the kind of supernatural academy we're going with.

Is this going to be like an X-Men sort of academy? Or will people allowed to be more exaggerated/crazy like Teen Titans, Avenger's or Superman?
Reason I'm asking is because although a theme like this could work pretty well, it runs the risk of becoming too powerful so that the RP simply can't work because the plots are all too easy to solve without divine intervention restricting the characters.

Oh good, someone who had the same question I did! :P
Allow me to answer as I have just drank some yummy coffee and showered!
Your answer is yes! Now let me expand: it'll be a lot like an X-Men sort of thing. Your characters would be brand new to the academy, for one reason or another (maybe you got a scholarship, your family just got word of it, or you finally saved up the money to afford it) The idea I had is that your characters would be pretty new at your skill, you'd be compenent enough to not blow yourself up, but you're no Superman or Wonderwoman. Think more like Rogue, a young Storm/Cyclops.
Hopefully I answered your question! :3

Alright, thanks for answering. :)

That all sounds good to me so consider me on board.

[Punished GN]

Interested.

[EverAfter]

Awesome! Interest hooray!! I'm at Knott's Berry Farm with my family right now so wen I get home I'll start to work on an OOC. As this is a school-based RP, I'll keep my doors open for more people later on. :3 Thanks for your interest guys!!!

[EverAfter]

Update: I'm still on my way back from Knott's, so I'll still be a couple hours until I get the OOC up. This is just another notice that if anyone else has interest, I will absopositutely let you in! :D I'm really excited guys!!

I'm interested as well, but what would this roleplay be categorized as? You know, high casual, low casual, etc.

You know, I hadn't even thought about that. :P depends on my idea of high/low versus everyone else's. I think of high/low as a level of story progression, so closer to high. However, if you're talking about post lengths, I'm pretty laid back about that. I'd say to shoot for at least a paragraph, preferably two and if you want to go longer, go ahead! :3

[EverAfter]

Double post! Ignore please!

[Gwazi Magnum]

I typically found the levels to be like this.

Low Casual = 1 paragraph, you're no longer in free where you can do one-liners.
Medium Casual = 2-3 paragraphs.
High Casual = Basically Advanced for those who don't want to be associated with the elitist personality that often comes with the Advanced community.

Oh, okay, I see what you're saying. So based on that nifty little chart, I seem to be floating in between Medium and High like a pot of ramen noodles.
Also: I'm working on the OOC as we speak! So expect it within an hour or two! :D

[Gwazi Magnum]

Sounds like I really need to work my typing fingers then. :P

[EverAfter]

All righty! The OOC is up!
Go ahead and post in there! I'm cutting up some strawberries for strawberry shortbread so I'll post my own CS up when I get that done. However, feel free to post your own and I'll read them when I get the chance!

And like I said before, if there's anyone new that wants to hop in, go right ahead! :D
