The social lives of Elton High School students are centered around cliques. Elton has five major cliques: the populars, the jocks, the brains, the goths, and the artists. If a new kid comes along, it becomes a tug-of-war...an all out battle to see who can get the new kid to join them. However, there's one group that no one in Elton knows about. They refer to themselves as the 'cliqueless,' and are, basically, a group made up of one person from each clique. When the newest student at Elton, stumbles upon their little lunchtime hideout on the rooftop, she/he becomes the only person in the school who is really cliqueless. However, with people battling for his/her attention, how long will he/she be able to keep it up?
This is just the introductory plot. It'll be a very relaxed, comedy-based plot. There's no apocalypse threatening our characters; this roleplay is a slice-of-life kind of thing where I just want people to have fun. Think of it like a sit-com. However, there will be high casual standards with a three paragraph minimum, or two if you're suffering from writer's block.
[ The Social Totem Pole ]
The Populars: These are the glamorous, beautiful rich kids who basically rule the school. Hanging out with one of them is like hanging out with a celebrity, and as far as they know, they have everyone in the school eating out of the palms of their hands.
The Jocks: The jocks are almost as well-liked as the populars. Everyone in Elton goes to watch the games, so the athletes who play them are like the school's stars. They're under a lot of pressure, though, as losing too many games can damage their star status.
The Brains: These are the smart kids. They're the ones getting all the academic awards, and the ones the teacher can always call on to answer a question or do an equation on the board. A lot of kids think they're just know-it-alls, show offs, elitists, or all of the above.
The Dorks: These are the kids you can see playing card games at the lunch table, reading comics, and talking about World of Warcraft and League of Legends. They're near the bottom of the food chain, and are always picked on by those bigger and stronger than they are. Even so, they are true to who they are and would never change that.
The Goths: The rebels, the artists, and the lovers of darkness. Nobody talks to the goths. Yes, it does have to do with the fact that they're scary to look at, but also has to do with how reserved they are, and the hatred they seem to have for the people they go to school with.
The New Kid: The new kid just got here, and thus, does not have a place on the social totem pole yet. Therefore, it is the goal of every clique to get them to join their group.
