OOC IS ALSO ALREADY MADE. SEE HERE

It’s a typical January afternoon. You sit at the kitchen table, twiddling your thumbs until the long-awaited dull roar of the mail truck comes droning by. With a start, you dash outside and rip open the mailbox, filing through the various bills and magazines not addressed to you. Then, you see it. A rather hefty envelope with your name on it and a familiar logo in the corner. With your palms sweating you return inside and ravenously tear into its contents…


Also inside the envelope you learn of any notification of earned scholarships, a sticker for your car, and an official certificate that proves your acceptance into this prestigious university. You sigh with relief, a big smile playing on your lips. You did it!


I’m back, bitches.

What's that? You don't recognize me? Well, I assure you I'm a fairly huge deal around these parts...

Anyway, my schedule for the foreseeable future has an uncanny amount of free time in it, and while I've gone through a rather unexpected forced metamorphosis from an awkward caterpillar into a social butterfly, I've come to the conclusion that I do indeed have enough time on my hands to handle running a roleplay.

So for this roleplay is set in college. You probably sniffed that one out. And (sorta) as a nod of respect to the recent college football national champs, I figured having the school be a football powerhouse set in the South would be a zesty twist on things.

Don't worry, you don't have to like football for this roleplay. But there will be a game every Saturday in the fall semester, and if no one wants to write out the chaos of actually going to the game, I'll be fine with that. But I plan on providing a synopsis of the game, just so characters have something to discuss. All schools that Caligo University will play against are fictional, too, and also located in the South. I'm actually excited about writing about fake football games, anyway. Having to narrate it in real-time would be... rough.

If this gets enough interest, I can flesh out an OOC. I will also include information like the layout of campus, the school cheer, the mascot, our rival, the traditions, all that good stuff. Oh, and fraternities and sororities. Those are big in the South. They're also not quite as... stereotypical as they are in North? They're not like Animal House... Not always, anyway. More info on that later, though.

I already have most of the information ready to go, so it shouldn't be a problem. For those who are curious, we are the Caligo University Wolves, the school is in the town of Caligo, Alabama, (again, fictional), and our battle cry is... FULL MOON! (Because, like, that's what wolves howl at and it hypes them up or whatever.) I know. It's kinda derpy. But I can point out some schools whose cheer is equally as derpy... *cough* *cough* I won't drop any names, though. Heh.

Tell me whatcha think!

This could be a lot of fun. Is there gonna be any particular organization we're going to focus on or how are the characters going to cover the entire student body?

I feel like it would be more unifying if we all were part of the same organization (and easier for the characters to meet one another). I feel like it would be cool if all of our female/male characters were in the same Greek organization. Or maybe we're all in the same club. Would that be something you'd like?

Yeah, that seems like the best way to make sure people are actually interacting. Well, you still have my interest though I will be upfront and let you know that I have had to withdraw interest a few times recently after deciding I don't quite have the time. Never in the middle of the RP, of course, but before it starts. Just so you know :\

No worries! I'm not even sure this may get enough interest anyway. :/

This is a unique take on a school-based roleplay!

I'm definitely interested and I can't wait to see how you plan to layout it all since I'm buzzing with ideas for my character.

Well... There's not as much interest as I had been hoping for, but I'll go ahead and start working on the OOC anyways. I'll let y'all know when it's all done!

Honestly, I think it being a small group is a great idea because that way, we're all capable of being committed to it and the pacing will be just right.

That's good thinking! That is actually motivating me to finish this OOC even sooner than I expected. Thanks for that!

Also... Just found out "Pride of the South" is the name of Ole Miss's marching band, damn it. Don't want to elicit any stupid Copyright issues or whatever. Guess I'll have to tinker with the title a bit too. ^^;

Of course!

I'll help out once again if I can that instead of "pride", you could do:

Honor
Tribute
Reverence

I think almost anything synonymous with "pride" that has a clever edge to it. :)

I gave a nod to "Honor" in the first sentence of my OOC post. :D
