 Outaboundries Academy OOc
Hey-llo
Yes, another academy for gifted youngsters.
The only difference is, I'm actually going to make it for once instead of just joining up in all the others. First I want to explain the academy and what it means if you join. I don't know howmany others are like this when they rp, but I have certain patterns that I usually stick to. Usually I use a character named Neo who has something related to elemental control. He is usually a nice kid, blunt, and doesn't cause drama. Well unfortunatly, most writing, if not all, needs conflict and drama to keep the story going.
So, Outaboundries has been an idea for awhile. Before I start writing up The Fates of Omni, I want to be able to create conflict and help move the story along instead of always being, or trying to be, a Gary Stu. And the Academy is for everyone to do the same. Some are very versitile and play many different types of characters, and I applaud those who do. But others have a certain way they always travel and this is my way of trying to help you break out of your shell. Create a character you've never tried before, use powers you think are lame, have a background thats completely over the top!
Well, before I throw out any actualy info, Im going to keep rambling about cerain things. I will accept help from anyone who wants to crreate twists in the plot with me. You can reach me on AIM, Facebook, Myspace, or here. Im not picky, nor am I private. find me wherever. I plan to have a first day, recreation day before classes, class days, a dance, a tournament, maybe a parent check-up day.
I invite you to make up to two characters as students, and maybe even one teacher. But unless your going to have them have some kind of relation in th past, don't make them gang up on certain characters if their personalities are completely different and they wouldn't actually agree on certain subjects. I mean, I know its fake, you know its fake, and everyone else does. So don't do it.
Now the academy itself is going to be Hogwarts/Xavier institute-esque, as one of my friends put it. It Will be close to a town/city(Undecided if you want to suggest.) so there will be trips in on weekends and the like, but there will also be a large surrounding of nature, say the academy owns about 3 square miles of land. (I'm not sure how but super powered people have their ways I'm sure. Mostly stocks )
Now I'm sure I'll know alot of the people who join, but if I don't or even if I do, I'm going to look back at some of your stuff so I know your style and hopefully to see that your character is new and fresh. And I most likely wont have a limit on people, but I'm going to cap out on 10. I've seen ones where people join and dont go on for three days, then quit. So over all there was technically 25 people in it, they just weren't all posting. Also, you can see by many of my arguements, I don't like overly pwerful characters, and I wont accept them. Your character is hereto develop over time, so thats whats going to happene. Keeping what I've said in mind, anyone can suggest and help with the layout of the school/plot/suroundings, but please run it through me.
Romance, violence, emoness, depression, happiness, and everything is allowed, but keep your ages close for romance please and keep it clean...-ish
Character sheets if you want to sign up ahead of time for the rp before it gets posted:
Name: First middle and last if you have them.
Age: 16-21 for student. 21-?? for Teacher.
Grade/Class you teach/Position you hold in the school: (no freshman. You can be a transfer but I don't want anyone starting off so weak.)Soph-Jun-Sen. You can be held back or develop early or whatever you reallt want which is why age can vary so. Hell be a coll janitor if you want that everyone thinks i s awesome.
Sex: Dur. You can have no sex if you want if your character to be that kind of being that is unknown. I just don't recommend it if you want romance.
Species: Whatever you want, but I would prefer mostly humans with powers, but humanoids will most likely be fine unless you say your names Lucifier and your a demon >:[.
Abilities: This is seperate because I want to know your physical strengths, agility and such here. These may be affected by what your powers are but unless your powers are enhanced physical properties, don't put your actualy powers here. Profeciency in weapons goes here too, but don't be one of those "Her parents trained Chloe everyday with every weapon known to man and read up on every martial art style" people..
Powers: (Stage1)(Stage2)(Stage3)(Stage4)(Stage5) If your a freshman, coming in, your most likely at your stage1 powers and will develop to stage2. I want you to have fun with your powers but they cannot be too intense unless your a senior or held back, but you have to have your powers develop through each stages. Teachers can be at 4 or 5, as we may have teachers that are young. Example: stage1- elemental movement and low resistance from burns and the cold, stage2- elemental manipulation and increased resosotance, stage3-manipulation from peculiar sources(Like taking water from a plant), stage4-elemental creation(like fire from your feet to do jet propulsion, where before you had to have a lighter with you at all times.), stage5-Weather control.
Weakness: Im sure you character has one. Tell us it, if its chocolate or maaybe when they use their powers too much they pass out.
Bio: Long or short, giev us a little about your character if you want to be allowed to randomly add through the story or give us alot of detail so we really understand him/her. Anythings fine but I want at least a small paragraph about where you lived and stuff that would be told on an application or something.
Hobbies: If you want.
Who you know: If anyone wants to agree to already be friends or dating or something.
Family??: If you want to tell us about them, maybe a relative we may run into later.
Auto-Use?: I want to know if you mind or will let someone use your character while your away, in case their is a big event happening like an automic bomb so they can say that you were running with them to safety. But if your in the middle of an emotional situation with someone and then you both leave, someone wont jsut drag you out of it because he finally got his Slinky to work and he comes to show you. That way everyones clear and its not god-mod.
Personal Belongings: Anything the character has regularly. Does it have magical properties? Why does it matter to them? and you can have a ring that contains the power of the sun if you want, but that doen't mean you are going to use it on a regular basis or even know about it yet. It can be a good plot device though.
Weapons/Clothes: Try to keep any guns down to pistols and such if you do... mostly Swords/spears and the like.
Appearance:
Anything else:
Tell me If I'm missing anything or if you have suggestions.
So gimme your opinion and hopefully we can start it next week, because I would want to give this some time.
Okay so this is the OOC and Many people havecharacters so far. I would like everyone to re-post their characters here to make sure their still interested and at the end of your post put "Abra Kadabra" So I know you re-read this. Im going to be taking up the first couple posts I think with additional info. So now the fun begins.
