Katawa Shoujo ~ Disability Girls ~ (All Genders Welcome) REBOOT

Dude your character is from Ottawa, Canada, there is no technically. And yea unless I'm thinking of the wrong side of Canada, I'm pretty sure your character's preferred language is English and you can do so.

Katawa Shoujo: School for the Disabled REBOOT OOC

Just so I have my CS somewhere

Kyle Parker

Name: Kyle Parker
Age: 17
Grade: 2nd Year
Disability: Amputated right arm (experiences frequent phantom pain), depression (mostly causes irritability and anger).
Personality: Extremely kind and incredibly determined, he is not the person people expect him to be considering his background. He’s the kind of guy who will be your friend until you show him otherwise, and those who don’t, he remains loyal to for life. Despite his kind demeanor, he is also incredibly brash, lacking any real common sense, only doing what he feels is natural, even if its sometimes for the worse. His temper can flare up in a moments notice, only to falter just as quickly, if he snaps at someone he immediately regrets it and asks for forgiveness.
Background: Kyle was born on a cold winters night in the city of Los Angelos, Nevada. An only child, Kyle was raised by a father with a very specific goal in mind, for him to be the best damned fighter who ever lived. His future to become THE Ultimate Fighting Champion was set in stone from his very birth, and training soon followed it. What couldn't be done through physical training from the get go was learned by watching every scrap and brawl ever done in television history, and nurtured into him by his father's rearing. When Kyle was finally old enough to physically train he was put on a strict diet, trained day and night, excercised, cardio, weight training, fighting techniques. The only time Kyle's life didn't revolve around the UFC was through his studies. His father hired multiple tutors to teach him different subjects throughout the week, things he would need to know when he lived his life to the fullest.
As Kyle grew older, so did his determination. The lifelong goal his father had for Kyle, became his own as well, and he owned it well. Fight after fight, victory after victory, it brough Kyle closer to his own personal Nirvana, that no matter what opponent stood before him, he would not back down, he would not lose. This determination earned him the title of "The Burning Cinder", the fire that would just never die down, no matter how many punches he took, Kyle would just punch back harder. It wasn't until the eve of his 17th birthday that the fire did finally die. On an even colder winter night, during a match, the roof to the stadium came crashing down. A blizzard formed a massive amount of snow on the roof, it weighed too heavy and the roof could simply not support it, 27 people died, another 300 plus were injured, one of them being Kyle. When they found him, his arm had been torn to shreds by a metal beam and frostbite had begun setting into the wound, the arm had to be amputated from the shoulder down. It wasn't until several weeks after arriving at the hospital that Kyle woke up and learned the news; he could never fight again.
The news was earth shattering, a life that had revolved entirely around fighting was wasted and a new sense of despair fell upon Kyle. To him, his arm was like a piece of his soul, something that had been lost, something that could never be retrieved. Worse yet was the disappointment that had set into his own father, the perfect fighter could not fight, he had no son. Despite all the atrocities that befell him, Kyle simply refused to lay down and die and the cinder began to burn once more. There was another part of his life that wasn't deemed as important as fighting, but since fighting was no longer an option, Kyle would have to resort to education. During his recovery time Kyle worked with the doctors in hopes of finding a school that would help him live a normal life, that school was Yamaku Academy.
Other info: Though the picture above shows Kyle's general appearance, he is missing his right arm and the sleeve to it will be tied up to the shoulder. Kyle's training routine is also deeply engraved into his mind, so you'll find him almost every morning outside doing some form of physical activity. Also as a side note, because Kyle is a foreigner who's preferred language is English he'll be speaking in both English and Japanese. To distinguish the two Japanese will be written as normal text and English will be written as bold text

Katawa Shoujo: School for the Disabled REBOOT

Katawa Shoujo: School for the Disabled

High upon a moutain top, in a rural part of Japan sits a school for the considered "outcasts" of society. Yamaku Academy, a school for the disabled, helps students overcome their physical and minor mental disabilities so that they can learn to live a "normal" life. On the campus is all the amenities anyone could ever need, a gated community, classrooms only minutes away from dormitories, and a fully serviced 24 hour nursing station. While the academy itself sits isolated away from society, there are plenty of other activities that can be done off campus. Whether one wishes to walk down to the town below, or take the public transit to the nearest city, everything and anything is avaliable to our students. A new semester is upon us and we're excited to see new and returning students, welcome to a new year!

Rules

1. GM's rules are law, you break my rules, I break you. (not literally, that'd be ghastly)
2. No godmodding, I know there will be plenty of character interaction and I know that physical interactions will be a thing, that being said if you move another PC from place to place, or making them act egregiously without their permission, you are breaking my rule.
3. Highschoolers are not immune to cussing, this being said I will not have any sailors running amuck, keep it to yourself if it gets heavy (ie your character's head)
4. Per the rules of the site there will be no lemons (ie NSFW), keep it in the PM if anyone is planning on doing that.
5. Most importantly have fun, I'm pretty lenient about things.

As far as I know the Japanese school system has 3 years of education in the upper secondary school system done over 3 trimesters (spring, summer, fall). I may be wrong on this, but I'm not finding anything that disproves this. If anyone knows anything, feel free to imput.

Katawa Shoujo ~ Disability Girls ~ (All Genders Welcome) REBOOT

Holy crap Ursa... that was literally one of the most depressing things I have ever read and it was awesome. Character completely accepted, 1000 times over.

So far we have a count of 8 players, with an even split between male and female characters, exactly what I was looking for. I'll post up an OOC after I finish rewriting my character and place everyone's CS on the first post by grade.

There are still plenty of spots open, I'm debating whether or not to make it 12 or 14 max, so for those of us who are on the interest check who have not made a CS yet, still have time and it leaves room for any other interested players to attend.

Katawa Shoujo ~ Disability Girls ~ (All Genders Welcome) REBOOT

Magnum your character is accepted, glad to see I won't be the only foreigner at yamaku and glad to see your still around lirila, I'm excited for the finished cs.

Katawa Shoujo ~ Disability Girls ~ (All Genders Welcome) REBOOT

Accepted, ryu

Katawa Shoujo ~ Disability Girls ~ (All Genders Welcome) REBOOT

All in all I'm just looking for dedicated players, out of the like...12 people we had in the last interest check, LovelyAnastasia, Major Ursa, myself and one other were the only people who actually kept coming back looking to see if someone posted. The only reason I'm GMing now is because this is the first time, in a long time, that I've been extremely interested in a roleplay, thats why I know this will last if everyone stays committed to it.

Katawa Shoujo ~ Disability Girls ~ (All Genders Welcome) REBOOT

@Magic Magnum

1. No the main focus of this won't be on the female population, the title is there to inform people that this roleplay will be based on the idea of the game, but that doesn't mean I'm expecting the roleplay to roll out exactly like the novel (ie. no gf = go fall off a building) or even expecting it to be in the same timeline as the novel, we'll say it'll be a few years down the line, so there will be fresh students, but some of the staff from the novel will still be there and players can reference previous characters at their own discretion.

Anyway, what I would like to have is an even distribution between male and female characters, that being said I am also allowing, hell even encouraging, the use of "LGBT" characters.

2. Again, as the focus of the novel was romance based, that doesn't mean I'm expecting the rp to roll out like the novel. So no, I'm not expecting everyone to go to a romance route, if you want to be just friends with everyone or a player, a whore, or celibate, go for it.

3. I'm expecting the level of writing to be medium to medium-high casual.

To answer your final question, the novel and even the wiki did explicitly state no mentally disabled students, but there are exceptions. The two best examples would be Hanako and Misha. Hanako, though severely scarred from a house fire, did also suffer from psychological trauma, to the point where she has had breakdowns in the classroom. The science teacher, Mutou, even explains to Hisao that the staff was informed upon her arrival, that she is a "special case" and is treated as such. In Misha's case, while it is never explicitly stated what her disability was, it has been speculated that she suffers from ADHD, maybe even some form of Autism.

So there you have it, special cases are ok, but that doesn't mean all special cases will be accepted. If anyone were to decide to make their character with down syndrome I would immediately reject it, no questions asked.

@Unending Empire and Lovely Anastasia, if we manage to attract enough interest your characters are already pre-accepted.

Yea we'll basically be using the skeleton from the last attempt, glad you're interested.
