This roleplay is currently ACCEPTING (Only accepting Freshman commoner or wealthy students, and teachers!)





Official Etherpad!

Caelbury Academy. Known for it's selectivity and it's exceptional students, Caelbury Academy is ranked the number one preparatory high school in the United States. It's extremely difficult to enroll here due to the competition and the extremely high requirements, but the rewards are stunning if you're accepted. It's said that every single person to graduate from Caelbury Academy becomes extremely successful in life, in whatever field they choose. This revered high school offers many classes and extracurricular activities for the student body to enjoy, as well as very exciting school events.

The students who go to Caelbury Academy are very special in many regards. In order to enroll at this school, you must be one of two things: Extremely wealthy, or extremely gifted. There are many students who are both. The extremely wealthy students are often children of the CEOs of famous companies, famous politician or an athlete. The students who fit under the extremely gifted category might be a world-renown athlete, some sort of prodigy, or a genius. Only the people at the top of the social hierarchy are able to attend the prestigious Caelbury Academy.

Up until now, Caelbury Academy had the philosophy of "Making great students greater, not mediocre students less mediocre." However, as more and more of the underdogs begin to become high-ranking, respected people, the school decided to let in some 'normal' students, people who weren't wealthy or particularly exceptional, offering scholarships to these normal students.

Many families in the school were outraged at this innovation, some even going as far as pulling their children out of this school as a form of protest. Some believe that they should be kept separate from the "commoners", while others think that this is a wonderful opportunity to educate bright young minds who may be considered not as extraordinary. This is the first year that the two different social classes will merge into one school.

Welcome to Caelbury Academy...

Rules

  • All Guild rules apply.

  • Swearing is allowed, but please keep it in moderation.

  • This is a mid to high casual roleplay. At the bare minimum, please post two paragraphs. Much more is preferred! That being said, quality over quantity, don’t add random things just to add length.

  • Don’t create a Mary Sue or a Marty Stu. Nobody is perfect, people must have flaws.

  • Use common sense and courtesy! We’re all friends here. Be polite, and no fights in the OOC.

  • Listen to what the GM says! I am your benevolent goddess… In this roleplay, at least.

  • Make sure that there are at least three posts between your previous post before you post! (For those with multiple characters, you can post for one character after three posts between that same character's action. You can divide the posts up, and don't necessarily have to post with all of your characters at the same time. Did that make sense?)

  • As of right now, there is a character limit of four characters. This may be subject to change.

  • Let me know if you can’t post for a while, or if you’re dropping, or anything of that nature. I won’t bite your head off, I promise.

  • If you are inactive for a week without notice, your character will be struck through on the character roster. If you continue to be inactive after being struck through, your character(s) will be removed from the character roster after 7 more days. While you're welcome to come back, you must reapply. If your character is struck through, but you explain why you were unable to post, your character will not be removed from the roster, on the condition that you will post in the IC in the near future. Of course, this is a case-by-case and I understand that people have obligations outside of roleplaying. I'm very flexible about this, but I'm not going to let this roleplay die because someone randomly disappears.

  • Have fun! This is a requirement. Seriously, why roleplay if you’re not having fun?

Character Information
For your character sheet, please be detailed! Especially in the personality section, don’t just list off adjectives. Go into detail. Also, it would be much appreciated if you could underline, bolden, or do something to the CS skeleton to make it easier to read. You can add more to the CS skeleton if you’d like, but be sure to have the ones listed here!

(I plan to expand this as inspiration strikes or more info comes out IC.)

Name: Lili Lafontaine

Appearance:
Age: 16
Grade: Junior

Social Class: Wealthy
Social Class Explanation: Lili's father is the owner of several very successful vineyards in the south of France.

Personality: Wildly artistic, Lili often cuts class in favor of pursuing her latest idea or socializing with friends. She tends to hang around Gifted students out of admiration and her distaste for the cliques and politics of many Wealthy students. She often jumps into leading roles for group projects, but usually needs a capable assistant to organize for her and contain her scatterbrained energy.

History: Lili came to America specifically to attend the renowned Caelbury Academy and prepare to take over the family business someday. She adapted quickly to her newfound freedom, living with only a caretaker on this side of the Atlantic. She has managed only middling grades thus far, but enjoys a generally good reputation among students and teachers alike.

Extracurricular Activities: Drama Club, Culinary Club, school orchestra (cello)

Miscellaneous: Despite her reputation, rumors cloud around Lili like flies. They don't often last long, but those who haven't met her may have some... interesting ideas about her habits.

Name
Roman Zelenka


Just Under 6 foot, Brown eyes, Athletic build

Age
17

Grade
Senior

Social Class
Commoner

Social Class Explanation
Roman was a very intelligent child and, over the years, expressed a desire to learn, specifically languages. In his mid teens he could already speak five languages to a nearly fluent standard; Czech, German, English, Mandarin Chinese and Japanese (he learnt the first two from a young age and the others from travelling). Despite the fact he was sharp and smart, he never truly applied himself at school and went of the rails with his education. Due to this, he is considered a Commoner at Caelbury, but he has the potential to be a gifted student.

Personality
Roman is quite a calm and observant guy. He tends to let other people do the talking, as he doesn't have the same lust for attention as some others do. Despite the fact he is generally quite silent, he is not shy. He is suave, quickwitted and assertive when he wants to be, but that is only in special circumstances.
In terms of emotion, he rarely shows any. His face is hard to judge, and he isn't the type to sob on a friend's shoulder. He deals with his problems alone, no matter how severe. The best way he can express himself is through his music.
First impressions mean a lot to Roman. He will not hold a lifelong grudge, but if you're an ass to him when you first meet him, he will probably mistrust you for quite some time. This also means that he is loyal and friendly to those that welcome and accept him.

History
Roman was born in Düsseldorf, Germany, where his Czechoslovakian parents had moved for his father's work. Roman's father was a translator for a Czech business company, which meant that he was regularly relocating. Roman only lived in Germany for the first four years of his life, when his father was given work in London.
Roman instantly settled in to school and life in general in England, a bright and popular young child who was always top of his class. He spoke Czech, German and English perfectly as a young boy, whilst some adults around him were limited to English. He also discovered his love for music in England, as most popular music around the world was English. He learnt to play guitar and was determined to one day write and play music for a living. He made close friends, but, of course, they would not last, as, when he turned 12 years old, he was yet again forced to relocate with his family.
This time, his father would be working in Beijing, China. He had moved continent. This world was completely alien to him, a whole new culture, but luckily his father had prepared him for it by teaching both him and his mother Mandarin Chinese. This time he did not settle in so fast, but settle in he did. Several months in to his new life in the orient, he discovered his parents were splitting up, his father having an affair. Custody was given to his father, as he was the money earner. His mother relocated to America without him to live with her parents. Roman found it even harder to live in China now, so he requested to his father that they move. His father explained that he could take a job in Tokyo, so, he did.
Japan wasn't too different to China, and Roman's temperament had changed. He was silent, cold and detatched. He no longer scored the top grades in his class, now he was a slacker. As he aged, he began to drink and smoke. He played in a band and abandoned his passion for school completely, participating in gang crimes like vandalism and theft. He no longer spoke with his father. In many people's book, he was an utter failure.
Suffering depression in his later teens, Roman took another blow, perhaps the biggest of all, when his father had a fatal heart attack. Roman then had to leave his good friends behind and head to the USA to live with his mother and grandparents. By the time he was 17 he had successfully, despite reluctantly, made the move overseas. He is now attending his first year as a Senior in America.

Okay, I think Jacob looks fine, and apparently we have our first club! But I don't know what MCJROCT is. And wow, Jacob is rather troubled o_o but accepted nonetheless.

And Hae, you're really bringing Hayden back?! I wasn't being completely serious... I mean, it'll be awesome if you're okay with it, but you don't have to bring him back cuz I said so. Also, I'm thinking about changing Acacia's last name, just for the sake of not completely stealing Energie's idea.

MCJROTC stands for Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps. As opposed to the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), a JROTC program serves primarily as a "Leadership Education" course, teaching students about military structure, military history, ethics, etiquette, and helping to develop teens into functioning, positively influential members of society. There's no obligation to serve in the military, but military branches typically offer an immediate promotion after basic training to somebody who has completed a certain amount of time in JROTC (3 years if memory serves correctly).

A JROTC unit is organized similarly to a genuine military unit, depending upon the size of the unit itself. My unit only had about 100 people at any given time (which is rather small in all actuality), so we were a company. Other schools can have full battalions, which are comprised of multiple companies. Extracurricular activities that a JROTC unit would perform are pretty varied. My company visited Parris Island, Quantico, the Museum of Marine Corps History, and Splish Splash on trips (even marines gotta chillax.) Units often compete in drill competitions, practicing marching and the prompt and skillful execution of commands against other units, and participate in local events. I was the Marine Corps Flag Bearer for my unit's Color Guard for quite a while, and have done Honor Guards (Where you carry ceremonial sabres) twice. It's really quite fun if you invest time into it.

Ugh, you say this now? QQ What was the last name you had in mind?

I did it 'cause you brought Acacia into it, to be honest. *Cough* THERE IS NO GOING BACK, THOUGH.

He's in an Elite school. ( I'M NOT SAYING ELITE PEOPLE CAN'T GO INTO THE ARMY/MARINES/NAVY/AIR FORCE. Especially since a lot of hugely historical figures served in the military. Especially that. o_o)

So, what I was wondering is: would this program assist in getting him into West Point, USAFA, or the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland? I'm sure I'm forgetting some prestigious military acadamies, but those are the only ones I know of, since I know one person from my class attends West Point and another is attending the Naval Academy in Annapolis, and his brother attends USAFA. I know they all had to do a lot of stuff just to apply there, much less get accepted, especially since the High School I attended wasn't like a huge blip on the radar; it was rather small, compared to a lot of others.

True. Hawthorne sounds good. I'll change it to that, then. =P

But, I grew pretty attached to Hayden, myself, so that's definitely another reason why I'm using him again.
