Modern Fantasy * School Life * Seinen * RomCom * Action Romp



You have died.

Your life as a hero in your native world has come to a glorious end. Whether it was in a flurry of bullets against your greatest rival or with sword and bone against the demon king, your ultimate goal was achieved at the cost of your life. As darkness fills your vision and the voices of your allies slowly fades away you feel your soul return to the ebb and flow of origination. Consciousness begins to slip away before suddenly hearing the distant voice of a woman. It feels as if you're floating weightlessly through a soothing ocean of darkness as you grow closer and closer to the voice and finally a blinding light fills your vision.

A
white room.

It was a small area with only enough room for three pieces of furniture, two whitewood chairs and a matching whitewood table. The floor was a glossy similarly ivory white surface but as your feet made contact with this material it seemed to chime out an ethereal noise with each step. As you peered around the room you would find that it was empty despite the source of the voice clearly being here. You approach the table and pull one of the chairs out before taking a seat. You notice that atop the small square table is a small pamphlet, a pen, and some blue-green spherical gemstone. As you take the pamphlet within your hands and begin to read your mind begins to slip away.








Kurtzpel Academy is an enigmatic occurrence in the academic world. Not only is the school privately owned and staffed, but also it is strangely tucked away on an unmarked island where a town surrounds the sprawling Academy facilities. Within the school you'd find that it incorporates a multitude of studies, contemporary and even some more niche ones. The teaching staff are hand selected by the school's figurehead Barnes Macantire, all of which are specialists in their specific fields that they teach. The staff members are required to sign non-disclosure agreements and are compensated financially to live on the island alongside the students.

The Academy itself is a beautiful structure constructed to be a spectacle inside and out, gardens, marble pillars, polished hallways, aesthetics spared no dollar when it was built. But there are also more specific constructs within the schoolgrounds. Behind the Academy is a massive sports field with a track route, batting cages, and even an indoor facility with a swimming pool. There's also gardens scattered around the facility which are maintained by a large team of groundskeepers, one of which holds a whitestone statue of a beautiful woman holding a spear in her right hand and a lantern in the left.

Club activities and class comradery are very encouraged at Kurtzpel, as is competition among the students. Tests are held with scores being ranked for public display, higher rankings are rewarded where lower standings are punished. Afterall, in order to even gain the attention of the Academy's benefactors you'd need to be extremely gifted in the first place. These students are the cream of the crop an have gotten to that point through whatever means necessary, by their own hand or their parents. To uphold that standard the teachers are ruthless on the students with their performance having no restraint in enacting disciplinary measures and often expelling students who fall below a certain grading average.









Alano is roughly 45 square miles in size making it large enough to host the school and the town around it, with a small circumference of forest around it's borders to masque the constructs from ships passing by. There is a constant surveillance along these borders with armed guards patrolling the beaches to dissuade any curious travelers who happen upon Alano on accident.

The school sits in the centermost of the island and although the academy is a marvel of architecture it was constructed with the forestline in mind to shroud structures. The whitewood trees on Alano are quite tall but this sentiment is shared among all the buildings even in the town. The town isn't as fancily designed as the academy instead being constructed of more typical painted concrete and brick, but the islander aesthetic does come through at the more leisurely locations, with tiki bars and totem poles at some locations.

The people who live on the island that aren't school staff or students are employed by Kurtzpel's benefactors to keep the town organic and lively. Many of these employees took the job happily as they were financially compensated quite well, and were even given free housing on the island. Because of this a lot of these employees even opted to take their families along with them to Alano which resulted in daycares and children facilities being built afterwards as well.

Everything in the current life section checks out, so that's ✔
The old life bio and worldbuilding are ✔ I'll make sure to integrate some of that into the story. When it comes down to the combat stuff I'd say maybe give some descriptions on "how they fight" rather than just listing the styles that they've gathered under their belt.
- Instead of saying kendo / ninjutsu / jiu jitsu, perhaps a small paragraph on how they utilize those teaching in combat.
- Same thing with the shadow magic classifications, even just a single paragraph of what that looks like would be super helpful.
Revenant Profile also ✔ just cut the description of what the gem's definition is and you're golden.

Of course this is still a WIP so I look forward to seeing the finished project.

@Versa Okay, I've edited the combat affinity and magic affinity section. Is that more along the lines of what you were looking for?

Edit: I kept the specific styles in combat as a reference for me when I actually write combat out if that's okay.

The Unfortunate Hero
As Old As Time Remembers







Physical Description : Jack is tall with a lean build, which could even be considered lanky at times, with blond shaggy hair that often covered one of his bright baby blue eyes in an aloof manner. He has very thin eyebrows, which are already hard to see with his hair color. His eyes seem relaxed, and that of an old wise man. His lips are rather thin and always seem to form an awkward smile, as if he's happy all the time. The rest of his features are sharp and chiseled, giving him a rather graceful appearance.
Personality Description : A benevolent, sharp, young man with a chip on his shoulder. He's confident in his ability, yet unsure of the people around him. Often times, he underestimates his friends but never his enemies. He's paranoid at times, causing him to put up a barrier to people that rub him off the wrong way. He can be very driven and dedicated when he takes something seriously. Otherwise, he tries to live life carefree when he can. He's a selfless, well-rounded person, which makes him an ideal student at the academy.
Bio Description : Hailing from Cardiff, Wales, Jack moved all around the U.K. when he was young. From the large booming fields of Scotland, to the tight bustling cities of England, and the grand mountains of Ireland, Jack moved all over the place. Eventually, he settled in Liverpool, England for a few years. His manner of speaking seemed to develop quite exponentially and he was rather outspoken as a child. On top of that, he took a great interest in sword fighting, but more specifically fencing. As he moved around, he joined local minor leagues for his age, competing against other kids. He became fiercely good at fencing, but never stayed in one place long enough to prove it. On top of this, he was getting increasingly good at boxing in his free time.... WIP
Talents : Swordfighting, hunting, fishing.
Academic Affinity : Theoretical Historiography
Extra : TBD






Physical Description : A stoic faced ancient with a body built like stone. His tall lanky body was scarred from battle after battle. His hair was a faded blond, which looked like it had been grown out for a while but maybe whitened from stress. His eyes were dark in color, but never seemed to settle on a color. He was defined in muscle, with a more structured jawline. His outfits usually consisted of a cloak above a set of finely crafted armor.
Bio Description : An eternal adventurer who had roamed most of his known life. Heroic deeds were part of his daily routine, yet his righteous acts slipped right under the radar and went without notice many times. Going as far back as the first kings, he had never sought out fame and glory. Our hero's story was a rather unremarkable one in history, yet some truly know the man behind the many names.

When he was first awake, the world was rather dull. The world was full of beauty in nature, but the simple animals did not pay him any attention. He was seen as a predator, thus he was avoided by most. After enough wandering, it seemed as if the first tribes of man were sprouting. He finally had found someone that looked like him. He had learned to hunt and to fish, and in return had taught them how to grow and how to sew. One fateful day, another tribe had come across his own. It's easy to think of this moment to be the first time weapons were used not on an animal, but on man himself. In efforts to protect his own, the hero protected his peoples in the only way he knew how. It came to him as instinct, but to his own, it was monstrous. It was also at this point animosity was felt towards man for the first time. At this point, he had become an outcast and he was leftto roam once again.

When the first villages started to erect, the Hero had thought to earn man's trust back by protecting them from harm. From time to time, creatures of the woods had come out to challenge man, and the Hero had thwarted their plans. If the creatures weren't enough, men of fortune and of evil seed sought out man's riches. The Hero struck them down, and the town never truly knew any different. The Hero didn't care. It was for the greater good, and the greater good insisted that every man has the right to live freely. This started our Hero's quest to protect mankind, and our hero's quest to save whoever needed saving, wherever in the world they were.

In time, villages began to sprout up into kingdoms. In kingdoms, knights were born. Taking the opportunity, our Hero took on the mantle of being a knight and served the people, refusing to take sides of any king. Although he was never recognized and never held land, he was still viewed by many as a knight due to the getup. With armor covering his whole body and a stallion as white as snow, he rode his way into chivalry and honored man well. It would take a fateful day to discourage his knightly garb, and that day would cause him to lose quite a lot of faith in mankind.

As our hero one day awoke from his humble abode, he coughed up a nasty, terrible cough. His vision was clouded and his eyes felt dry and burning. He grabbed his blanket and wrapped it around his body, holding it around his face as he tried to navigate his way outside. He slammed himself through the front door and looked back to his home in horror. The home was burning down to a pile of ashes, and his horse nowhere to be found. He looked down at his ash covered body and realized he was left with nothing but the clothes he went to bed in. Our Hero did the only thing he knew to do. He wandered.... WIP

I'm kinda interested, but before I make a CS, I have two questions:
1. What's with the Stats in the Revenant Profile? Does that mean there will be some sort of dice-rolling involved?
2. What does "Action Romp" mean?

@Amaranthine
1. There won’t be dice for for typical combat, maybe some player scuffles down the line could be resolved that way. But as it stands the stats are more of a numeric measurement of your current level in each category. Having 10 Strength makes you a relatively strong teenager that lift weights with some effort, having 100 makes you a muscle god who could punch holes in mountains.

2. Action Romp is just a less gritty and more lighthearted action telling. As the RP will definitely not take a serious tone at the start of the story it fits pretty well.

Ah, that answers one of my questions about the revenant profile. May I make a suggestion about it? Given that the gem appears to be a magical item of some sort, I expected it to offer supernatural abilities to its holder. As such, I propose the following systems:

I put it on hiatus for now. It didn’t get enough interest, but I’ll try it again in the Summer most likely.
