Could I get a slot for reserve players?

@Digmata

Yes, welcome to the game!

Mykhailo Martinez

"Roger that!" Mykhailo said to the comms as he pressed inward, dissatisfied at how the foe just melted away before him. He shot another missile from his F-16 to blow up another emplacement, then strafed some people setting up a man-portable missile from behind some sandbags.

Despite being new, he knew how to whittle down the foe with little danger to himself, to cause stress and fear and press upon them the futility of their cause.

They had another radar station; Mykhailo shot a rocket downward at it, then strafed the area around the remains; this was like a cat playing around with mice - Unsatisfying and also a little bit immoral. He can already think from the enemy's point of view that these 'Westerners' were pitiless, honorless, and simultaneously cowards and remorseless killers.

Completely forgetting that they struck first, of course.

Mykhailo kept up this cycle, of strafing, of launching rockets at fixed emplacements, of herding those who fled to their tunnels and foxholes in the middle of the island, where he would obey his orders and not pursue. Instead, he'd try and find anything that resembled an arsenal... and drop his last GPS-guided glide bomb.

He was not going to earn Ace-hood today. But he was going to eliminate the foes.

Masuda High School

Everyone was present in class— or rather, everyone that mattered was there. Of course, a few showed up right at the bell, or even a little after, but that didn’t surprise the history teacher. His expression remained indifferent, devoid of color, and he simply waited for the majority of focus within the classroom to be aimed upon him before speaking about the lesson again.

”Now, our lesson about the Shimabara Rebellion, which also covered the Amakusa Islands, where our city stands today.” Mr Hagino would pace his way to the opposite side of the classroom, closest to Ariyoshi, where the light switch for the room was placed.

”The Shimabara Peninsula to our east, as well as the Amakusa Islands, where we are today, were converted to Catholic Christianity by Portuguese and Spanish traders, along with much of Kyushu Island. When the Tokugawa Shogunate took power, they gave the Shimabara Peninsula and the Amakusa Islands to a corrupt Daimyo, Matsukura Katsuiie, also known as Matsukura Shigeharu, who hated Christians and persecuted them, including by boiling them alive in hot springs.

“Fortunately for us, although the Tokugawa were against Christianity as well, Matsukura also taxed his non-Christian subjects heavily, with those who could not pay his taxes being wrapped up in cloaks and burnt alive - Along with their children! - and word of it spread. Then came Shiro Masuda, or as we know him now, Shiro Amakusa, a wandering Ronin who at fourteen was already a talented swordsman and speaker who won not just his fellow Christians, but those of other faiths against the misrule of the Matsukura.

“Our ancestors rebelled and threw out the Matsukura, who fled to the Tokugawa Court’s seat at Edo, and the Tokugawa sent an army to restore them to their lands. We defeated them, but they sent another, larger army, which penned us up in Hara Castle in Shimabara, where our ancestors faced not only superior numbers but also the treachery of the Protestant Dutch, who hated Catholics to the point that they were willing to help the Tokugawa.

“But Shiro stood strong and taunted the Tokugawa with how they had to call on the Dutch and their artillery to help them. The Shogun then ordered the Dutch off. But what really, truly saved us was that Matsukura Shigeharu showed his true colors when a random peasant, one loyal to the Shogunate, was found dead in his tent - The scandal!

“So the Tokugawa Shogun at that time, Tokugawa Iemitsu, decided to negotiate with Shiro Amakusa instead; Shimabara and the Amakusa Islands will be a zone where Christians can practice their faith, and foreign traders will be allowed to, well, trade. If not for Shiro’s victory, Japan would have isolated itself from the Europeans, not keeping up with its technology - A great risk!

“But thanks to him… we are free.”

Click!

The lights go out as a projector glows alight and places the image of a mass of ragtag soldiers in Edo Period attire on the whiteboard. A laser pointer is pulled from a small set of keys hooked through a belt loop, pointing to the weapons on their personage and the lack thereof supplies they held.

”The school would like essays based on who [you] think were the most critical figures in the Rebellion’s success by the end of the month. Yes, I’ll have a Quizlet up with prominent figures organized in flash card format.” The school board likely wouldn’t approve of the lax practices Mr Hagino carried, but so long as his students passed and learned something along the way?— he didn’t really care all that much.

Shotaro Shirogane was listening to the lesson, or trying to; he was also looking at Hidekichi and hoping that his stares would not be taken as him being weird. He knew that New Amakusa City was Christian territory, but the older boy was so handsome that Shotaro could not help but want to speak to him, even if nothing more than that would be acceptable. So the young man made sure to listen closely to the teacher, write down notes, and, as the classes proceeded according to the Japanese School System (with some unspecified modifications!), slowly mark the time to lunch.

And when it was time for lunch, Shotaro would approach Hidekichi and ask, "Hidekichi-san, would it be okay if we.... umm... eat at the same table? Please?"

Shotaro knew well enough not to say anything that violated the informal rules of Japanese Society, even though those were relaxed in the Amakusa Islands and Shimabara. He had to be polite, courteous, and above all, not overly forceful or 'weird'.

As for Hidekichi, he may know Shotaro as the rich boy who moved to New Amakusa City just a few years ago, one who lived with his uncle, who just moved there. Others may also know that same thing, especially the others with upper-class origins; they would know Shotaro's uncle was a deadbeat who was consuming Shotaro's trust fund at an extreme rate, but it would be impolite to say it to Shotaro's face, right? Especially not without proof...

@Pz Waffel, I'll consider you as a reserve player.

@Letter Bee hi there sorry for that I didn't realize that this was full or that those were some requirements I am completely fine having my character as 16 and making him a reserve charachter. I also was making an assumption at the time that he was automatically in the highschool, I just made a mistake about the age because I was tired.
Thank you for letting me know about this.
I do have a question though, how do you color text that you write I am a bit new to this platform.

@Tywell

There should be a 'Formatting Cheatsheet' below the text box.

@Pz Waffel, Bio and Personality are too short.

Dreamer's Sea: A High School RP inspired by the Persona Series (Dead)

@Tywell, First up, we're full and we're only accepting reserve players rn.

Second, the age range is 16 to 17, with only one 14-year-old student in the class the PCs are in.

And finally, the PCs are all in High School.

@Akari, Reserve players are allowed, if they're willing to wait.
