FUKUSHIMA UESUGI SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

福島上杉高等学校




STORYLINE

APRIL 2
It's the beginning of the new school year at Fukushima Uesugi Senior High School. Make friends, socialize, slack off and get a C- in Math! Renowned for its top-notch facilities, academics, among more, Uesugi Senior High is the place to be for any prospective student.

CLUBS/SPORTS
  • Baseball
  • Tennis
  • Track
  • Yearbook
  • Student Council


HANGOUT HOTSPOTS
  • Minekoshi Mall - a popular hangout site for most friends. Conveniently located near the Fukushima Train Station for tourists, the mall is home to visitor and local alike- brimming with restaurants, cafés, and a wide assortment of shops.
  • Mt. Shinobu - the symbol of Fukushima City, jutting straight out of the city centre. In spring, the mountain hosts scores of people who gather to relish in the mountain’s beautiful cherry blossoms. Once revered as a place of worship, even today ancient Buddhist engravings can still be found carved into the sides of the mountain. The view from above offers an impressive glimpse of Fukushima City, and the night scene from atop the mountain’s main lookout is unparalleled. In other words, the perfect place for a hike, date, or pilgrimage.
  • Tsuchiyu Pass - a winding and thrilling touge, or mountain pass, Tsuchiyu is a hub for street racers, experienced bikers, and car fanatics. If one finds Ebisu Circuit too far away (or not thrilling enough), they usually find themselves at the parking lot of Tsuchiyu, where the sounds of roaring engines and squealing tires can occasionally be heard at night. Car meets and street races are held here, making it all the more risky, given both the dangerous road and police factor.


RULES

  • 1.) Be courteous. Respect everyone around you and be nice. Friendly-fire via drama, insulting, discrimination and overall bad behavior towards others will not be tolerated. If an issue between you and another member arises, settle it and compromise like adult human beings through PM.
  • 2.) Be realistic and fair. Real life is not a complicated world to understand as we all live in it. Japan takes place on Earth, not in space, so anything you would have your character do in the RP must be plausibly bound by the laws of reality. No godmodding, metagaming or powerplaying. That also means no overpowered Gary Stus or Mary Sues. Your characters could even be the most skilled people in the RP, but they are far from invincible. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, which means everyone has a fair chance in the field of battle. So please, play fair. Of course, we do ask that you do your best to not overstep your boundaries and do things realistically impossible.. Oh, right, and don't overdo it. As I like to say on whenever someone's asking for a borderline decision, do try to judge with reason and fairness when making decisions. If it's still a tossup, ask a GM- or even better, err on the side of realism and fairness.
  • 3.) Give your two-weeks notice. Please do not leave the RP without leaving a notice ahead of time. Leavers make RPs-in-progress very difficult to complete, so have courtesy to let us know beforehand if you're going to be absent for an extended period of timing or outright leaving forever, we won't judge you for that so as long as everyone is aware.
  • 4.) Enlist before serving. This is an application RP, so please do not role play with your character, before said character as been accepted by me, my admins, moderators or future moderators. All applications have to be reviewed before the character(s) can be used in the RP.
    • 4.5) Be specific and concise. Fully describe the characters that you submit. Image links are not sufficient. We want to know how they look, how they act, how their life was, and how skilled they are at driving. It is your job to paint a clear picture to us, of said things. Do it to the best of your ability.

    TL;DR - Play fair, and don't be a jerk. That's really all to it!


DO NOTE THAT THIS IS A WIP - I LIKELY WON'T START THIS UP UNTIL MAY, SO STAY POSTED!

Question: For applications, are the character sheets free form or did you want them in a specific way, other than making sure we give a lot of details and whatnot?

Nope, it's not enforced. You don't necessarily need to make it the same as mine, just try to keep it detailed.

I might actually pick this up. It's been a while since a high school RP had caught my interests.

Just trying to decide what kind of vehicle my char. Are there any limitations on that regard, aside from common sense that is?

With this being Japan, I doubt everyone has a car, but I'd wait to see what @HachiRoku says.

@Sola

If I recall the IRL laws correctly, once you're 16, you can get a kei car license (those really tiny motorcycle-sized cars). I'll help out a bit: the sporty models were/are the Autozam/Mazda AZ-1, Honda Beat, Suzuki Cappuccino, Daihatsu Mira TR-XX, and for a more modern twist, the Honda S660. But once you're 18, you can get a big boy license. Any reasonable car (this is a decent reference for used cars and/or showroom prices) is fair game. Obviously if you're gonna do a touge/expressway/circuit race don't pull up in a Honda NSX, Toyota AE86, or Ferrari F40.

@HachiRoku I meant it more along the lines of savings-wise. I doubt every high school student has a car of some kind. Owning a car, and even parking it/buying gas is a heavy drain on a likely part-time finance. There's the annual car tax/paid parking (both of which can run a pretty penny depending on engine + parking availability), toll booths on freeways, and even the gas itself (which is like $5 right now for one gallon in Japan).

Oh, in that scenario, you do have a point. In that case it's all up to background: if your char's a part-timer in a middle-class family I doubt they'd own their own vehicle, but perhaps a mechanic/affluent senior would be able to afford such things?

@HachiRoku K, so 16 for like a scooter or something and 18 for an actual car. Gotcha

...

I was actually thinking that the car my char would have access to would originally belong to one of the parents or an older sibling. That way, they wouldn't have to fork out money for the initial purchase itself and especially for the insurance.

It'd also open up options for what exactly I could have my char bum around in :]

But yeah, I'll still keep to something sensible. I'm sure no-one would want to give up their NSX's or their Ferraris anyway, least of all to a high schooler who could easily crash it into a tree or something entirely by accident...
