Welcome to Hell High School


A Brief Overview


Once again, cosmic forces are mucking about with mortal lives for their own amusement. In this specific circumstance, a being known only as The Administrator has taken the metahumans, magic users, and other non-humans from the Create-a-Hero Earth and tossed them into a pocket dimension, to follow a set of rules and attempt to win an as-yet unannounced prize. Participants may be unwilling, but refusing to follow the established rules will result in "expulsion". It is unclear whether that means from the game or from existence.

The "game" takes place in a carbon copy of Lost Haven, Maine. All participants have been turned into high school aged versions of themselves, with all powers intact. Any with dead, estranged, or missing families have had them brought back, with no knowledge of anything being strange. In addition, those who had no parents for one reason or another have been assigned to a family in the city. None of these families will register that powers are odd or even out of place, nor will any citizens.

Normal high school rules are in effect, and violating them will result in standard disciplinary action. Expulsion from the school or being arrested means losing any chance of winning the prize, and an email has been sent out stating that those two circumstances could have more dire consequences as well. In addition to standard rules, use of powers except in uncontrollable ways (such as having an altered body) are against any and all regulations, and will be treated as harshly as using deadly weapons on campus. This, of course, means power uses without obvious effects are rampant throughout the school's population. After all, you aren't breaking any rules if you aren't caught, right?

The aforementioned email also laid out the terms of victory. The winner will be the one named Best Student at the end of one year, spanning from Christmas Break to Christmas Break. Anyone eliminated but still inside the pocket dimension will be allowed to disturb the proceedings as much as they wish to. In the event that everyone is eliminated, a "punishment" shall be awarded instead, to the five worst participants.

No foreign technology will be allowed into the pocket dimension except that necessary for survival, meaning power nullifiers, shock collars, laser weapons, mech suits, etc are all banned, but cybernetic organs and the like will be allowed. However, the shop room in the school has quite a few more capabilities than the average school, and, alongside workshops at home, replicas could be made fairly readily.

Rules


A few addendums to the site rules and NMS's CaH rules:

All PCs must be high school aged (15-18). That means that there will be no naughty scenes!

Any teachers can be handled through NPCs, and I don't really have any plans for anyone except the principal, so feel free on that front to develop as you wish.

Please stick to the spirit of the event? Your character is a teenager now, despite all their memories, so they should act like young uns. That being said, trauma is still there and skills are still present, though not as developed as they were. As an example, if someone is an expert fighter or marksman, they are now only pretty good. That doesn't mean their skills go away, only that they are downgraded.

Go ahead and use your old CaH character sheets as you normally would, then adjust as necessary. Do remember that this is a silly anime-style high school event, so no changes will carry over to the main game!

ALSO HAVE FUN!

I should also note, the Hounds attacks haven't happened in the pocket dimension, so there's no damage to this version of LH yet

Okay Indy, you got it. Odette will be the first to be converted and then Charlie. Lmao the only time their paths come even close to crossing is in the hallways of a high school in a fictional universe, cackles.

Alex is coming in. Also if I create a character who can't control his powers at times will he get banned?

Alright, I'll throw Kayla into this. As mentioned before, Wanderer and Psion won't be in this.
