[@Tyler] Very good, Mason is accepted. You may place him among the accepted characters.



Now boys and girls, I plan on starting this RP soon. Within the frame of this week. So, get everything you can ready. Though, once we start, we'll still be accepting until we get a reasonable amount. I'm debating how exactly we'll start. I was thinking that everyone starts on the boat ride there - but that would leave out the characters that would logically already be on the island. 

It would lead to a speech by the Headmistress (Yes, the owner of this school is a girly girl) - alternatively, I was just thinking of skipping the boatride and starting there. Then that leads to the question of what to do next? I don't think setting everyone loose that early would be a good idea, so I was thinking of starting the same way I started the other two iterations of the 218: A grand banquet! 

... Unless you guys have any better ideas.

Thank you, I'm very excited to roleplay with you all. 

I personally believe starting on the boat will be best. The OP says that the ships are infrequent but scheduled to and from the island. People who join the RP later can enter the story as a latecomer to the school on one of these boats. Perhaps their powers manifested more recently, or they simply weren't aware of the school, or they missed the boat at the start of term. There is a lot of flexibility with this approach. New students arrive at schools all the time. They could even be transfers from other academies around the world.

Just my 'two cents'.
