In SoL, the 'goals' become the drama and interpersonal connections/histories players make with each other. Plus setting in in places like a school/college for example give you a timeline to work with.

Time to start the hunt for a decent SoL RP. I could make one, but it would be nice to be a player and a GM for once xD

About
Been at this game for a good while now. Starting RPing at the tender age of 15 back when Bebo was a thing. A year later I found myself forum Roleplaying and haven't really looked back since. Over these past ten years I have done practically every kind of RP you could imagine from Nation RPs and Arena RPs to 1x1s and Large group RPs. My last RP hobby was fighting RPs, which I have now decided to leave behind in order to pursue more SoL style Rps.

Outside of RP I am an aspiring writer, despite being terrible with words, as well as an avid gamer. If I am not on discord with the Guild or RPing in some way, I am probably on either my PlayStation or on Steam. Moved into D&D and ended up starting a podcast that has been an interesting journey.

Welcome aboard!


Situated near the coast of North Carolina USA, lies the small town of Edgebaston. It is a fairly unremarkable small town with a population of just under 5,000. Nestled away from the coastal towns and beaches, Edgebaston is only really known for its boarding school - Edgebaston academy.





Founded in 1851, The academy was originally founded as a charitable school to help educate orphans and children of bereaved widows. The campus was simple, and included the orphanage onsite. As populations grew, the academy switched to generally accepting all students and almost tripled in size, losing the orphanage and turning it into boarding halls. It was eventually bought by Willis Pottinger - a wealthy landowner nearby. From then until 1970’s, the academy functioned exclusively as a private boarding school. After the Pottinger Trust fell into financial difficulties in the mid 70’s due to fraud and financial mismanagement, the school was sold off. However, there wasn’t anyone willing to buy the entire school due to the steep cost, and the state didn’t want it either, as they didn’t want a boarding school, and the location wasn’t ideal for a large school either. Eventually a deal was struck between a board of businessmen in Edgebaston and the state to own equal shares in the school each. What was created was quite possibly one of the most unique schools in the country.




Generally speaking there are three ways to get into the academy:

  • Buy your place: If mom and dad have the cash, they can simply pay to send you. These students tend to have the first pick of the accommodation and tend to have either their own rooms, or share units built similarly to multi bedroom hotel suites. They make up the vast majority of the schools students, roughly 70%.
  • Get a scholarship: The second largest group. Several interest groups have bought out spaces at the school each year to send students to the academy. The different interests have varying criteria to get in, but are mostly based around aptitude, or perhaps being able to study better if away from family.
  • The State Relocation Programme: The only constraint that the state part of the school enforces, is the reservation of several spaces each year for students the state deems appropriate to attend. Because the state owns the places, they decide who goes, and ultimately it tends to be either kids who have caused trouble at way too many schools, or students who the state has decided would be better off away from their parents. Most of the time, students who are in the care of the state tend to get these places as it kills two birds with one stone for the state.



Hello Everyone, and thank you for showing interest in my RP! This is a nice little SoL High School RP where we can roleplay some wonderful High School drama. Our characters will be in either Junior or Senior year (Your choice). In terms of plot we are going to start at the beginning of the school year, and work our way to the end. We will be time-skipping to different points of the year, so no need to worry about roleplaying every single day out!

Being a Slice of Life RP, this premise will be heavily reliant on creating plot based on your character and their relations to others. As such, players are expected to play an active role in plot development. Relation sheets aren’t required in the strictest sense, as players will have character channels in our discord to plot. In terms of post length, minimum 2 decent paragraphs.



  • Standard Guild Rules - The usual stuff
  • IC and OOC are different things - Please be able to differentiate between them.
  • If you have any issues please bring them to Me or the Co-GM. Please bear in mind that we live in different timezones and might not reply right away. We do have lives.
  • If there is going to be any reason you can’t post, do keep us updated. I don’t need reasons, just an indication of when you will return.

Location: Coven Household > Garden

Time: 8:05PM


Zach had arrived to the coven late. Fashionably late was the reason he was going to give. But the reality was that he had only arrived back in Tanner yesterday. He had spent most of that day unpacking his shit from college, as well as getting used to his new accommodation. Mother and father were pretty clear that after college he had to find his own place. They were willing to help him on his feet, but he had to look after himself. In all honesty, he preferred it that way. After living in dorm rooms for three years away from his parents, he was ready to enjoy his freedom even more.

The energy exerted yesterday meant that he ended up sleeping in today and totally flaking out on the meeting. Still, he managed to come later in the afternoon and catch Carlisle to get caught up on everything. That was an experience in and of itself. He was glad that Carlisle dropped out of college and went back to Tanner, as he found the male insufferable at times. Always so wound up and peculiar. He also bumped into the covens latest newbie, some girl named Hayden. Learning she was an item with Kolby made Zach immediately lose interest. He couldn't give a rat's ass who hung off that piece of shits arm. He did learn about the party, and that made him happy. He could do parties.

Arriving at said party, late once again, Zach took a moment to walk over to the drinks table and find the largest bottle of whiskey he could find. Seeing a single unopened bottle, he took it and popped the lid off and began taking a drink of it. Looking around he headed for the garden to get some fresh air. He had to admit that the garden was quite beautiful, and he had missed it. College dorms were just full of tight rooms with little green space. He took up a position over by the bushes, away from the main party and the veranda.

He had been so wrapped up in his own little world that he didn’t exactly notice what was going on to the side of him. It wasn’t until he witnessed the blue hue of the barrier fall over Tanner did the lonesome little drinker begin to suspect anything was wrong. Still. It wasn’t his problem right? So he did what Zach did best, carried on drinking. It wasn’t until a little later, when he started to hear people out in the garden did he actually start to respond.

Walking past the hedges and into the side of the garden, the sight that greeted him was one that he wasn’t quite ready for. Sitting on the bench appeared to be Carlisle, who seemed to be as rigid as a statue. Zach watched as Miles punches Carlisle in the face, he himself standing on the very edge of the hedge, as to not be in anyone’s way. Hearing the sound of fist on skin, Zach began to slowly clap, a smile all over his face as Miles observed the impact of his punch.

”Been telling you since college bro. You needed to punch Carlisle in the face. Nice to see you have finally taken that advice to heart”. It was hard to tell if Zach was being serious or just trying to lighten the mood.
@HedgehawkConsider it done :)
Changes made, didn't mean to make it sound like he was good at too many things.


In that case, accepted!
@Hedgehawk@HaleyTheRandom



Hey! So love the FC and the sheet in general. The only thing I can think of is that Sebastian seems a little too good at alot of things. I get being a bad boy with a soft heart deep down. But when we get to what he does, I don't think you would have time to be a captain in a sports team and find time to take part in many other clubs. I also find the whole being a mathelte and sports captain a bit of a 'I am good at everything' play. It's just the way he comes across. It's tje same with his talent in art. He seems to be way too good at alot of different things.

My suggestion would be perhaps drop him to Volleyball Captain only. Change his talent in art into a passion for art. That way he doesn't have to be good at it, but he still enjoys it.

What's the expected posting frequency?


Hey! Sorry for the later reply! Just to reiterate what Haley said. Nothing is set in stone, but provisionally we are looking at 3 weeks, possibly 4 given how collab heavy this is likely to be. But once everyone is accepted I will throw a poll up and we can work it all out.

It's worth pointing out that I don't enforce posting for every character in each round. Sometimes characters just blend into the background, and I don't want to force people to create fluff posts when they haven't got anything to explore with their character at the time :)
