Dammit, smell! Why do you always lie about the taste of things!? Bread is never as good as you say it is! And vanilla extract tastes like petrified ass! PETRIFIED ASS!

Punching out Nazis and wrestling a yeti, sitting at home with some festive Spaghetti, rigging my boots up with high-power springs... These are a few of my favorite things!

Still trying to figure out whether the Crusades qualify as actual wars, or a steaming hot mess of clusterfarkery best accompanied by the Benny Hill theme...

@Sombrero Awwh, no regrets haha! I definitely understand where you are coming from! Magic would be super cool in a school setting. My only hesitation is that last time I did an RP like this, allowing magic ended in everybody having pointless fights with no backstory or plot, because they all became super focused on the powers, and that is more of an arena-style RP. ^^" Which is why I'd rather introduce magic or powers after the plots are set in place, y'know? It makes the abilities more meaningful. :)

Applications are always open, so feel free to lurk as much as you want and jump in if you're ever interested!


That's why magic and such is best taught in a sort of specific apprenticeship program. A school for wizards/mages is too open ended. You have to have multiple classes (as in Infiltration 101, Illusions, etc.) for different classes (as in Warrior, Bard, etc.) in the same setting, so that people have to learn the basics of many different things and have to spend a long time earning their abilities as opposed to playing around with the things they can do with them because they already know their stuff early on. The Karate Kid started out with days' worth of household chores for a reason!

Then again, the more aspects of an adventuring life you teach, the more likely you're stepping into "Too much fantasy/story direction too fast!" territory.

Duly noted good sir.


My God... They're all so shiny!
You have my support as well. But, I don't have an axe. I do have a lightsaber! You can have it! And you can throw it the fark away because this is the wrong genre. I am interested, though.
A'ight, then I'll sit back and watch things unfold a while. I don't have any "normal" normal characters in mind right now, and I wouldn't want to spoil any potential normal story plans by bringing in wishful energies. Best you get that overwhelming desire or lack thereof from the group with no say in part from the random passing lurker.

I'm not sure I'm in my right mind presently; I may come to regret this post.
I'm interested in a magic/special skills high school, but that pushes the boundaries of your average normal high school setting... Unless you meant "Just your average, everyday High School roleplay" in an ironic "Totally inconspicuous, DEFINITELY NOT A MAGIC NINJA SCHOOL Roleplay". Unless it's both? Maybe it's a completely normal High school that certain teachers gather at night to secretly teach super-skills to the students they deem worthy/the students that solve a certain amount of secret challenges/Whoever finds their ad in the paper?

Although, to assume an of these would certainly steer the story in a certain direction early on... Perhaps it's best that I skidaddle and stop assing about?
Welcome! Sorry I'm late, I couldn't tell whether I was supposed to click the white link or the orange link in order to get here.
In Heyooo 11 yrs ago Forum: Introduce Yourself
Hi there! There's refreshments just in the other room!... Probably... I mean, nobody's actually found any refreshments yet, but they're there. We know they have to be...
Ignacio was suddenly caught up in the presence of the bright-eyed woman who had sat at the bar just recently. He lowered his sunglasses to get a better look at them before he came to his senses and turned almost hesitantly back to Snarful.

"Are there any... Erm... Jobs you'd happen to know about?... Maybe adventuring jobs, you know, the ones where you just perform tasks abroad for money..." Ignacio says. From the way he dresses, he doesn't quite seem like the adventuring type. In fact, if it weren't for his awkward but athletic muscular build, it looked rather like he hadn't performed a 'task' a day in his life.

Despite his tone, he picked up his glass with the utmost, well trained composure, enjoying the taste of his beverage.

Ignacio walks into the tavern more furtively than he normally would. Adjusting his tie and sunglasses, he heads almost straight toward the bar. "P-pardon, Barkeep, you serve rum and coke here, right?"
@Snarfulblast
