Feel free to PM me some more specific character concepts/details, or a writing sample at any time.
As the soldiers boarded the elevator and they were put through their "welcoming speech," Kirill sat with his hands tented in front of his face, staring intensely at the mysterious woman that seemed to be in command. He wasn't terribly surprised by what she had to say. He had gotten hints of this happening from very early on from every official and escort that he met. None of them willingly offered this information, but Kirill was good at figuring out things that people didn't want him to. Which was why he was able to see through the woman's facade. For all of her threats and boasts, at the core of all of this, she was afraid. They all were. Kirill and those like himself were better than them, more powerful, the next step in human evolution. They, on the other hand, were not. Obsolete. Last year's model. It's only natural that they would be afraid. Kirill smiled slightly behind his hands. What other interesting things would this Academy have to show him?
The others delved into their own personal realms of despair. Some reacted with shock, others put up shows of callousness. The boy he had shown an interest in before, which their "welcoming party" had paid particular attention to, seemed thoroughly frustrated. Easy to fool, was he? He'd be a fun person to hang around, though Kirill would introduce himself at a later point. A small argument broke out in front of Kirill between a pair of students insistent on trading barbs. Couldn't these children act just a bit more civil. Kirill sighed and ran his hand through his hair again. He sincerely hoped the quality of his company improved vastly in the immediate future.
He heard a whistle, and then realized that he was being motioned to join the small gathering of male students that was forming near the front of the elevator. He slowly sat up and strolled over to join them, his hands in his pockets. Apparently these boys were March, Cormac and Rhys, respectively. Cormac piqued Kirill's interest and March had a certain edge to him that Kirill liked, but he couldn't help but feel completely bored by Rhys. He was like some kind of un-person, a void of anything worth investigating.
"Introductions are in order? Kirill Yudin." He bowed a bit. "A pleasure."

Ah, good to see you figured everything out alright.
As far as the system goes, I will admit that this would be more of a freeform deal. I hope that's alright by you.
The baseball bat sounds fine, but the shotgun would be a bit much. Teenage heroes, remember?
I was pretty cool with your explanation until you said that he was a skeleton. As much as it's a /tg/ in-joke, a skeleton would be just a bit too silly for what I have planned. Would you consider playing as a more conventional zombie? Perhaps the curse that resurrected him kept his body semi-preserved (he wouldn't decay to a skeleton over a span of two years, anyway), making him disfigured, but still mostly human? I could see him having voodoo-esque powers in addition to all of the benefits of undeath.

Edit: I'll hold off on harsher judgement pending the OOC's completion.
I'm going to have to drop out of this. My interest has waned, and I think it best I leave now before I drag down the whole RP. Best of luck to everyone still involved.
I could be interested in this. I'll keep an eye on it in the very least.

I'm gonna tell you something you don't want to hear.
I'm gonna show you where it's dark, but have no fear.
When darkness falls, the City of Angels becomes an entirely different city. The sun-soaked streets glow in neon lights and the drone of synthesizers pours from the thunderous clubs, but to you, Los Angeles is home to another kind of "night life." Strange creatures that seem straight out of Hollywood lurk in the shadows, just out of sight of the city's three-million residents. How do you know about these shadows in the night? It's only natural, considering that you're one of them.
Fortunately, most of these monsters are content to stay in the darkness; mere whispers in the back of the mind. However, not all of them are content to stay in the darkness, and intrude into the world of light to prey upon the people that live there. They are not the only threat, though, as even the most mundane of humans can behave as monsters beyond comprehension. Call it youthful idealism or childish naivety, but you're not about to stand idly by and let this city fall into despair. You have taken it upon yourself to stand against the the evil that you share the night with, and become a ward between dusk and dawn. A dark protector. An avenger in the night.
This is your nightcall. Will you pick up?[/center]

Basic RP premise is this: you play as a teenage supernatural being (think I Was a Teenage Werewolf) that fights crime and monsters in 1987 Los Angeles.
Thematically, I'm hoping to work in the feel of an 80s crime drama with plenty of action and supernatural horror and mystery throughout. If you guys want to work in some teen movie drama or romance as well, more power to you. Consider this an homage to that era of film and other media. Tongue-in-cheek at times, but not silly. Major inspirations come from the nu-80s wave over the last few years, including the film Drive, music by artists such as Kavinsky, Perturbator, College and Mitch Murder, and video games like Hotline Miami. Other inspirations were tabletop games such as World of Darkness and Monsterhearts.
As far as characters go, I'd expect them to be like something out of a movie or comic book from the 80s, while also being a recognizable and relatable character. Not that they have to be a shallow joke or anything like that, but I would just prefer if that was the direction which characters were built in, if that makes any sense. Regarding their "supernatural" elements, I'm pretty open, so feel free to send ideas my way for us to discuss.
That follows with the rest of the setting as well. I'll be happy to build this world with all of you, so feel free to share any ideas you have with me.
I expect the CS to be very light, and I'm going to be putting more emphasis on the writing sample that I request with it. I would very much like a small group of dedicated players, so I will be scrutinizing applicants to see who would be most conductive to a fun and successful game. Take your time with it, rushing to send me something won't give you an advantage.
Alright then, feel free to send any questions or comments you have my way, and we can get started on this adventure pretty soon. I'll be running this interest check in both the Casual and Advanced sections to garner interest, and I'll run in whichever section that gets off the ground first.

Hm, alright. Well, that sates my curiosity for the time being. I look forward to seeing how this progresses.
Would the king's bastards still be part of his court, though? My thinking was that if he had courtesans, even his children with them would be considered proper royalty. Just a thought.
A few more questions, if you wouldn't mind. Would we be able to write in other children of the king as NPCs? Generally for the purpose of competition without immediately running out other players, if that makes sense. What is magic like in this setting? Are there "races" in the kingdom aside from humans?
