Current I love those times when you've got a few really good, high-potential stories in the making and all you wanna do is write. It's like all my stars have aligned.

I also feel like the idea that there is now a hypothesised generational divide between people who used to 'RP' on IM and people who write good content on forums is pathetic. Why start this crap?

You could also have long-form stories over text, however complaining about long-form, detailed posts (as this began as), seems both ludicrous and worthy of IM.

Sometime it's less about writing some shitty slice-of-life RP in IM, and more about creating a coherent and valued story among like-minded people. Something you'd need an actual platform for.

I always forget how quiet it is here in the British mornings. Timezones are not our friend.

CS

Name: Jack Smith

Age: 17

Appearance:

Year of Education: 11 (Junior Year)

Favourite Subject: Auto Shop, with the real-life aspects of Physics too

Personality (optional): Jack is a naturally charismatic guy who attracts attention from people whether he wants it or not. This means he has had to evolve into the defacto leader in many cases, and his voice is one that is widely listened to and respected among peers for his fairness. A kind kid who treats everyone with as much respect as they deserve, Jack is not one to shy away from dealing swift punishment to those who are cruel, and this is another reason that many of the younger or vulnerable students tend to recognise him as a friend and an ally, a notion Jack uses to his advantage for late assignments or difficult homework.

Background (optional): TBR

Significant Relationships: Since he was a child, he had been good friends with Robyn Capuche. They played together at school and sat together. One day, Robyn didn't show up for school. A week later she came back, a different girl. More secluded, quieter, less outgoing. Jack, being the chatty kid he was, took it upon himself to make her feel better. They bonded over her grief where she leaned on Jack for support, and he leaned on her because he had never had an honest, true friend. To this day they are inseparable. Always side-by-side, they ate lunch, hung out, grew up together.

Other: Jack is partially deaf and so wears a hearing aid. He also knows sign language which he uses when he does not have his aid with him. A member of the swim team who competed at national level.
Added a section to the OP discussing the school. Is there anything anyone feels that I didn't discuss enough or would like me to go into more detail about? I'm almost positive I've missed things so please let me know, I'd like to make this as easy as I can.
Name: Cordelia Chasten - "CC"

Age: Eighteen Years Old

Appearance:


Year of Education: 12th- Senior Year

Favourite Subject: Human Anatomy and Physiology

Personality: TBR

Background: Born to a alcoholic father and a crack whore of a mother, Cordelia lived her childhood in fear of her abusive father's drunken rage and her mother's soulless body. She fed herself from the small amounts of groceries her druken father manages to pick up from the local store and tried to keep herself sane. Into her teenage years CC was lucky enough to get her foot in the door at a local resturant as a waitress. With the measly pay she received each week Cordelia took care of her mess of a mother and her psychopathic father. She cooked and cleaned- fulfilling her role as the less than fortunate Cinderella, but with no fairy tale Prince Charming to save the day.

Significant Relationships with any other Characters: Currently none, but if anyone is interested in having a relationship of sorts with CC I would be willing to work something out.

Other: Cordelia is pansexual, but is skeptical of relationships. She doesn't fall in love easily and does not fall for looks. She was training in Mixed Martial Arts after school for the past three years just to keep her body healthy, but fell in love with the sport and became very skilled at it.


Name: Avi Raclaw
Age: 17
Appearance (real images only):


Year of Education: 11
Favourite Subject: Music
Personality (optional): If TBR is "to be revealed" so TBR
Background (optional): Avi's family was the richest family in the county. As a single child, growing up Avi had anything a teenager could want - video games, a car, clothes - but all he wanted was his guitar. He has been studying guitar since the age of 6, and he fell in love with it immediately. He would spend most of the day practicing, and by the age of 13 he had won the county music competition, not to mention almost every school talent show. He also studied the electric guitar, and enjoys playing his favorite music - heavy metal. Music is his love and passion. When the shit hit the fan and the sun was covered by the moon, Avi lost contact with his family and most of his friends.
Significant Relationships with any other Characters: None for now, open to suggestions.
Other: He still has his guitar at the school. Other than guitar he also enjoys fishing, archery and hiking. Is allergic to nuts, not including almonds and peanuts. Favorite animal is wolf and favorite color is green.


Both accepted, I really like CC and Avi. Post them in the Characters tab and let me know if you guys' thoughts on the story.
I could... I could actually enjoy this. I think. I'm willing to give it a bash anyway.
I cannot log into RPGuild through my phone, I get an error message in a red banner saying 'Invalid Creds'. Earlier today I received the same error message when trying to log on through Chrome on my laptop. I'm writing this via IE8, and frankly would prefer to not have to do that anymore, so if anyone knows what's going on I would be very grateful. thanks.
Just to clarify so I'm understanding this right, the scenario is there are a group of teenagers and teachers in a school. For all they know, everyone else is dead. Something went wrong (the weird ass eclipse) and the world, for the lack of a better word: broke. Then they have to defend themselves against humans and inhuman creatures. If that is correct, what are the enemies' motives? Also, they would have to venture out of the school to get supplies, yes? They would have initial supplies but that wouldn't last long. Anyways, I would be interested in joining and I am typing up a draft right now.


I want to somehow get rid of all the teachers in the school. Most of the staff and faculty have vanished because they witnessed the eclipse happening (which, in another nugget of meta-information, is the cause of disappearing; if you watched it while it was at totality you vanished), and will find some other plot device to get rid of the rest of them soon. The human enemies are simply trying to survive and see the school as a good place to defend and live. This is because outside the shroud of mist is almost impermeable, it's incredibly thick so you cannot see more than a few feet ahead (think The Mist). The human enemies are generally not evil, just desperate, however this does not mean all are not evil. The inhuman enemies are a completely different story. They are pure hate. They just want to kill every human being because they feel they deserve revenge for whatever happened to them when they were alive. They have no cause, no reason, they were literally just transformed into these vile creatures who hunt for fun, essentially. They would yes, but they are currently well stocked. You have enough supplies to survive currently and get order instated so that you can properly organise and train to help gather supplies.

Here's my character.

I really like the character. Accepted. Post it in the Characters tab and if I add anything else to the CS I'll let you know. Everything feels kind of bare-bones currently, so there will be some renovations to the OP. I'm having to explain a lot of things that I shouldn't be explaining if I had written this OP correctly (completely my fault for not being prepared enough), so I'll be taking a lot of things I just mentioned and creating new tabs for it.
Also, nice post LPFan.

I fixed my post so that it is all first person now, but it's pretty disjointed between past and present tense so bare with me as I iron out those wrinkles I the next few posts. It's just writing adjustments is all.
Dammit, I just realised that I switched from first-person to third-person half way through my post. Shit sticks, better change that.
Bump before sleep.
Sorry for this taking so long, but it was a difficult OOC to write. Changed a few things up, however, so let me know if you're still interested in participating. Thanks.
