They say your high school years are the best of your life. Those people are full of shit. Your senior year of High School was one of the worst years of your life. Simone Carter was slaughtered the night of your senior prom, her body dropped from the rafters when the celebratory balloons where released just as the King and Queen were crowned. You still remember the hollow look in her eyes and the blood matting her golden blonde hair. It still wakes you up at night.

Everyone was a suspect; even you. Simone hounded everyone, was a delinquent, did drugs, caused problems. No one liked her, everyone had motive. But in the end the crime was pinned on one person. Cynthia McMillan was charged, convicted and sentenced to life in Shady Pines Ward For The Mentally Insane; ever proclaiming her innocence.

It has been ten years since that day and the high school reunion is here. You haven't stepped back into these halls since you were handed your diploma, too many bad memories. But here you are. Perhaps you want to close old wounds, perhaps you have already moved on, perhaps you just want to see what type of shit show this will be. Whatever the reason, you're here and ready for the three day event.

Oh, one more thing. Cynthias conviction was over turned during appeal. She's back and in attendance and promises to reveal the real killer the night of the alumni dinner. Who will she point the finger at? She claims to have proof she can't wait to share. Granted, if she wasn't insane when she was locked up; she sure as hell is a member of the One Flew Over The CucKoo's Nest club now.

You've arrived, settled in. Things seem okay but are they really? What's going to happen? Is it even safe here with Cynthia roaming the streets? If she is the murderer it isn't. If she isn't, it never was. Will this make the killer show their hand?

Welcome to Murder High.

Setting: The fictional town of Grimm, Indiana
Time Frame: Fall 2016
Rp Tags: Modern, Slice-Of-Life, High Casual, Romance, Mystery
Type Of RP: Murder Mystery
The Murder: Simone Carter - The School Bully - She dealt drugs, started fights, was hated by everyone. If there was a problem she caused it or at least was the blame for it. Coming from a home with an abusive father and a drunkard mother everyone just chalked it up to the apple not falling far from the tree. Teachers called her unfocused - students said she was more than focused as long as it was along the lines of turning her life into a hell. That was until after she was murdered, this she became the girl that everyone said they wanted to help and tried to be friends with. The load of bullshit that was uttered at her funeral was astounding.

The Convicted: Cynthia McMillan - Runner up in the Home Coming Court - It was finally pinned on her when the murder weapon was found in the back of her car as well as rope that was said to be the same that tied up Simone. Motive? She blamed Simone for not winning home coming queen because Simone stuffed the ballot box in another favor because Cynthia made a move on the one person Simone had the hots for.

The Preps: The group everyone loved to hate if you weren't part of it. If you were you thought you were the royalty of the school. Children from wealthy families usually fell into this clique. You had to drive a BMW, have the best clothes and know all there was to know about pop culture. You also tended to be rather stuck up and looked down your nose at people. You could be cruel the way
you messed with the rest of the students outside of your Clique. Usually dated another Prep or a Jock.
Frenchie Darlington
Ashley Cunningham
Atlas Sterling

The Jocks: The sports nuts. These were the people that were on the football, softball, baseball or any other team sport. They hung out in the locker room during school or on the field. You came from any type of wealth background or could even be from the slums of the town. Didn't matter. Your popularity was because of your skill. You tended not to be too bright and tended to pick on the lessers; Geeks and Freak. Cheerleaders fell into this group and you dated them, another Jock or a Prep. Anything else was just for bragging rights for the Bang Bang score.
Valencia Grey
Marc Tinder

The Bookworms: You were all about them A's, them A's, No B's! You rocked it out in the labs and the library. Nose always in a book or eyes glazed over looking at the computer screen. Did you date? Rarely and usually only in your own clique, though you might be seen with the Geeks debating whether or not Superman and Wonder Woman could actually have kids together.

The Geeks: The DnDers, Comic Book readers, Anime Lovers and all up to date on the latest Stan Lee cameo in a movie. You tossed dice on Saturday night instead of getting high. You were the ones that got picked on more than even the Bookworms. The Jocks and Preps marked you as an easy target. It sucked but you still carried your Geek Banner high. You managed to mingle with both the bookworms and the Freaks. You seemed to be the bridge between the two. Or at least a quick Tardis Ride between the Cliques.

Band Geeks: Do I really need to go into this one? You played an instrument, you wore a horrible uniform, you played at football games, you went to band camp.
Jasmin Morgan

The Freaks: The Goths, the punks, the metal heads and pot heads. You wore Black and dabbled in the occult. Sure, you may have done drugs, known your sexuality before others were willing to admit it but you knew who you were even if that was an emotional mess. No one dared screw with you, you were nuts enough to cut a bitch.
Riley Ridgeway

The Asians: Stereotype much? You were born of Asian decent, didn't matter the nationality. There were a few of you in school and you stuck together like glue. You mingled with the rest from time to time but we're usually to busy speaking about the latest j/k pop star to get in with the other crowds.
Hye-Eun Song
Jae-kwoon Park

The Rest: You really didn't have a clique. You kind of floated between all of them. You were the few that had your head screwed right on your shoulders right? That or you just didn't know who you were yet. Either way, this could be a good or a bad thing, depending on how it went. You never had anyone close but you weren't brutalized either. Solitude was both a blessing and curse.

  What To Expect From Your GM

  ---

  
  Greetings and salutations, I figured it was prudent to let you know a little about your GM and what you can expect. I have been at this RP business a long time, decades. So I have a pretty well worked out way of how I run things and what I expect in an RP. I am a bit picky but that only comes from years of dealing with many different things when it comes to RP.
  
  First, you should know that I am serious about Rp even though it is a hobby. I don't put up with B.S., trolls, flakers, and so forth. I will kick someone from an Rp if need be but it is a rare thing. (Twice now in all my time as a Gm.)
  
  Secondly, I do expect the rules I put forth to be followed - all of them. I expect a certain level, a high level, of respect and courtesy to be shown to myself and to your other Rpers at all times. If you wonder what that is, read my Guide To Rp Etiquette - which you should have by now since it is part of my rules.
  
  Thirdly, my biggest pet peeve has always been and will always be those that do not follow posting rules set forth in RP. To not to do so is to be disrespectful to me and your fellow Rpers. I enforce posting rules more strictly than any other rules. To break those is a great sin and you shall be punished.
  
  Next, while all of these rules may seem a bit much and I may come off as a hardass, I am actually a very laid back person and am willing to work with Rpers on most anything. As long as the lines of communication remain open and honest, I will bend over backwards for my Rpers when I Gm.
  
  I do check posting habits and log ins. When you join an Rp of mine I add you to my friends list. This will show me the last time you logged in, even if you are set to hidden. So if you lie about logging in or being gone, I will know.
  
  I am a firm believer of if you have time to spam and lurk you have time to post. It is all about managing your time wisely. Though most here on the forum are younger, I treat all Rpers as adults; with that comes personal responsibility. If you join you will be held to the same standards I hold my self to. I will refuse to let people join an Rp of mine that have given me issues in the past.
  
  If you are new to Rp or still learning, I am more than happy to help you to become a better Rper. That includes things on teaching how to prep posts before it is your turn to post, how to do colabs, how to create and stick to your characters, how to improve posts, how to find inspiration, how to get a post done when it needs to even if you have no inspiration and so forth.
  
  I like to get to know my rpers. What do you do, what your schedules are like, who you are. It helps me better understand my Rpers and how to better help them along the way and/or make their Rping experience more enjoyable.
  
  Now that you know this, please make sure to use it as part of your consideration for joining the Rp. I know what I have said will lead many to not join but I assure you those that do will be taken on a wild ride of twists, turns, unexpected events, laughs until your cheeks hurt and many feels!
  
  Your Gm,
  Lady A~

Relation sheet must be completed for active members of the RP. You will have two relations with each character - One is your relation during HS, the other is your relation since HS. PM each person in the RP and work out these relations before the start of the RP - Add your Relation Sheet below your CS in the CS Tab. (Also, do some work on these relations. Don't just PM someone asking "hey, what are your thoughts." - this is completely lazy. Actually read other peoples CS's and see what you think on how your own character might have reacted to them. What you do as far as relations go before during HS and since will be weaved into the story line - help drive it forward. ^_^)

so first we make characters right?

@ira1999 Yup yup, the cs code is provided for you. I suggest copying the code, sending a pm to yourself and filing it out there. That way you can work on it without worry. Once it is done, then post it here in the ooc and wait for my okay to move it over to the cs tab. And welcome to the forum! Have any questions, ask away!

woooooooooo!!!!! will be trying to make a CS now... Still debating what FC to use but I have a vague idea XD

*Whispers* kpop kpop kpop kpop... kekekekekeke

I will have to finish it tomorrow :( I have to sleep

@Salrynn No worries girl, you did spend today chasing a goat lol

@Lady Amalthea I indeed did xD

Okies, nighty niiigghhtt!! <3

@Lady Amalthea iam done is that acceptable :D ( i made a character)

@ira1999 Okay, it looks like a decent character but there a couple of problems. Know you are new here, so no worries and I'll help you through that.

First, please reread the rules.

The CS code I provided has to be used for this Rp. Also, you need to contact a mod and have them delete the post entirely from the cs tab. (You can do this by going to the suggestions and bug part of the forum and creating a topic titled delete post. Then linking them to your post) Only approved cs's are allowed in the cs tab, all cs's must be posted in the ooc first and await approval before they can be moved to the cs tab. (It's a general rule most gm's follow on the forum.)

The cs code provides part of the requirements, the rules provide the rest. Things like where to post the cs, how much depth is required for the history and such.

- Not mad, I have done the same when I joined the forum, tool getting used to. So don't fret, I'll help you through it. ^^

Don't wait up for me.

hopefully i'll have my CS out by tonight, but after that i'm going on a short road trip so i'll be AWOL for a day or two.

Gonna bow out, but good luck with the RP.

@hoppiholla391 Sounds good, there is no rush for the CS or when to start on this. Take your time and have fun on your trip. ^^

@Jester Acharis Okies, sorry to see ya go but no worries. ^^ Thankies for the heads up.

aaaand here's the CS!

@hoppiholla391 Nuuuuuuu my FC D: Ah well. My own damn fault for not being fast enough. Love the CS though.

---

So in the interest of not having to change my FC again, I'd like to put it out there that I'm gonna use Meghan Markle instead. (Honestly Hoppi, you kinda helped me make my mind up, haha. :D )


Thanks!

@hoppiholla391 Looks great; only one issue and that is totally my fault for not explaining it better. Under the Voted section - I meat for it to be one of those Senior Superlative things they put in the year book. Like, best dressed, most likely to succeed, most likely to bomb a convent, most popular, ect. That is totally my bad, I'll add a descriptor in the CS. Just pick anything really you think would fit your character and then shuffle her off to the CS page.

@Lady Amalthea Oooooh, that makes so much more sense now...

@Charnobylisk Yeah, sorry about that. I will lay blame on the cold meds - NyQuil is a bitch, lol

ahhhh got it. fixed and moved!

@hoppiholla391 Sweet soo sorry about that mix up, that was totally on me. Thanks for understanding. ^^
