Saint Valerius Academy - A Knight/Noble Fantasy

@HylianRose

I have an idea about a character but I want to ask before I get off work and start really dabbling in creating this character. I'm planning on making them at least mildly to full blind. In the sense of that, I haven't thought about it too much but the best they would be able to see is hues/shadows/lights and at worst they see nothing.

Do you believe a character with that disability would be an appropriate attribute to this party or no?

I believe that I have a rough character idea. It's brewing in my head and I at least have a visual and aesthetic that I want for my character.

Took the words right out of my mouth, I think we can have a minus or plus one year wiggle room. Someone who entered the school earlier, right on 'schedule', or later, so then we'll have 15, 16, or 17 as PC age choices, quite the range if you ask me. Then, of course, they'll grow up over the course of the RP with each school year.

This isn't even including "outliers" such a genius prodigy who started really early or a delinquent who began quite late, both cases I've seen happened IRL.

All in all, I wouldn't worry about being too restrictive in IC age choices. Unless someone wants to play a 50-year-old first year or somethin'...

@Izurich

You caught me. I wanna play that 50 year old first year. Dammit. I didn't realize we were going to be so REstrICTIVE. ~ sarcasm.

I'll wait for others to weigh in on that, but I'm okay with everyone starting as first years! Just means everyone will have to play a 16 year old character, unless they want to play someone who has been held back a year for whatever reason.

@HylianRose

I'm fine with playing a 16-year-old character.

Until the 4th years bully the 1st years when it comes to "off the books" situations and hell breaks loose without the teachers knowing. No one talks about Fight Club. The first rule of a fight club is no one talks about a fight club.

Would definitely suck if your character forgot something back at town after the long weekend or halfway through the distance.

@Animal

Think of how horrible that would be. Lmao!

Tom: Crap... Jimmy... I - ugh... Jimmy, did you remember the coin pouch!? *feeling himself up*
Jimmy looking mortified: Tom! Tommy! What!?! I thought you said you would grab it!!
Tom: I'm sorry! I did then I changed my mind and said "Can you grab it!"
Both of them looking behind them horrified.
Jimmy: I... we should head back shouldn't we?
Tom sighing and already heading back: At least we were only half way there.

I just realized the nearest town is 20 miles away and it takes 30 minutes to walk there.

@Animal

I was thinking about that too. The closest town is twenty miles so our characters will be walking a long time to the nearest town. If it is a flat road that isn't really steep or hilly there and back, it would take around 6 hours to walk. If it is steep or hilly at all, it's more like 9 or 10 hours to walk there.

What a weekend in town. It makes it a special occasion for sure. Haha!

I believe that most role-plays, particularly public group role-plays, do not require a rating higher than TV 14/PG 13 (am I setting this as a hard limit? No. Just a reference point), regardless of the characters' ages. That is why the term "fade to black" exists. Yes, a character can engage in sexual situations or situations involving drugs and alcohol at any age. Minors in high school regularly participate in such activities, but does it need to be explicitly written? No. It can be referenced without going into fine detail about the setting/scene/situation.
