There are a large number of clubs on offer at Delbrook. If you can find a chill teacher to host your club during lunch on a specific day (as most clubs only meet once, maybe twice a week) and have at least 3 people in the said club, you can create your very own club!
** I will not be listing any said clubs unless you want certain clubs for your character. The usual clubs are of course up for grabs, or you can create your own club for your character. Has to be something reasonable with an appropriate name. Let me know if you guys have any clubs you want me to specifically list. If you pick out one in particular, your character will have to either be the head of the club, or you will be roleplaying the NPC student that will be. **

Venus for our Rules that she so kindly let me borrow for this, and Vicier for Christina's big welcome announcement. Love you guys<3
"Delbrook Academy of Long Beach, California - and, of course, home of the Rising Tides..!
Today we welcome back familiar faces to a new year, and with them, a new wave of students into the sandy halls of D.A. Whether you choose to spend your time rushing the field with our five-time National Championship lacrosse team - Go, mighty Tides..! - or rocking out in the quad to the sweet rhythm of the jazz band; with more than enough extracurricular sports, activities, and clubs on offer, you're sure to find the right place for you, surrounded by like-minded peers who, despite differences, come together to create a close-knit and welcoming community.
So now that's out of the way, let's get down to the four-one-one on how your first day at Delbrook is going to go.
Today is all about getting in the groove; and no, I don't just mean with the dance squad or the cheerleaders... No. Today is going to consist of familiarizing yourself or re-familiarizing for our returning tides, with the school. This morning you'll attend your homeroom, where you'll meet your classmates and teacher before heading to the auditorium where our mighty Poseidon - our principal, for those of you who might not know - will address the school and give us a brief rundown on what the new year is going to look like. But once that's done... light that bonfire, and get ready for a luau; because the sharks, along with our amazing seniors, have prepared one hell of a welcome home party for us all..! So be sure to head on out to the lacrosse field and check it out..! There are food trucks, carnival games, rides, and booths- make new friends, meet the clubs, and prove yourself a tide to be reckoned with. And why not..? After all; new year, new you, right?
Let's make this year our most memorable yet!
For Delbrook Academy; your resident chatty dolphin, signing off..!" - Christina Monroe, ASB President
You'll be excited to hear that we have since dropped our uniform policy and now are a free-dress school, you can thank your ASB President for fighting for you all as fiercely as she did on the matter. Though, of course, there is still no wearing anything gang-related and the girls are still expected to have shorts that reach the length of their fingertips. You are still more than welcome to wear Delbrook Tide spirit-wear, and will still be able to buy said merch at the Student Store. You also will still be expected to wear your school I.D.s around your neck with the Delbrook lanyard provided to you from the moment you walk in the front gate to the moment you leave school grounds. You will not be able to enter or leave school without it, so please don't lose it. It's a ten-dollar fee to replace it.
Delbrook's campus holds approximately forty-five hundred students, with about a thousand and two hundred students in our graduating class alone. Unfortunately, the reality of those numbers is only about nine hundred of you in the class of 2022 will make it to graduation. We'd love to see you all there, but we know that there are different circumstances that end up preventing some of our students from completing their journey. Anywhere between thirty and forty-five students fill each classroom, with anywhere from six to eight classes on your schedule with two to four classes a day. Depending on how you worked your schedules out with your counselors, you might have free periods before or after lunch that provide you a longer lunch break, or towards the end of the day that permits you to be let out of school earlier than most students. Show the front gate security guard your I.D., which has your free periods imprinted on them, and they will let you out.
Our school runs on a blocked schedule where you will attend your Even number classes one day, and the next it will be your Odd number classes. Blue days are Even classes, while Gold days are Odd. Green Days are for all classes. Each class period will run for an hour and a half, with a fifteen-minute break period between your first and second classes before lunch hits, and after lunch will come your third and fourth classes for the day. There will only be a five-minute period between the last two classes for you to get to your designated class, so I suggest you don't dilly-dally.
The standard being held for this role play will be High-Casual, which means at least 2 paragraphs of non-dialogue minimum. However, quality over quantity shall prevail. Sometimes you just feel like you can get your point across without writing a detailed paragraph over how Mary Sue brushes her teeth, and thatβs totally okay.
The maximum time between posts will be 14 days, which can be extended by previous communication with the GMs. If you do not post in IC or OOC by this time, I shall shamelessly spam your DMβs in Discord or Guild PMβs to see whatβs up. Until you are heard back from, your character will be excused from any interactions they may be in to free up the other member's character(s) and put on a hiatus.
If you are to be absent from the site, unable to post in the period of time mentioned above, or wish to bow out please let us know in whatever via you prefer (OOC or group PM to the GMs). Itβs not only polite to do so, but it will be much appreciated.
Please check with at least one of the GMs if you plan on making a big event that might change the vibe of the RP or affect the cast in any way. Weβll most likely say yes, but better safe than sorry.
This is a character-driven RP. As such, there is not only a need but a requirement for character interactions. So talkkkkkk. Every player and the characters he or she decide to play will have their moments to shine, but interactions help a lot with this. After all, we wouldn't want somebody to be left out, now would we?
Please allow at least 2 people to post before making your next one. This includes different characters. If you want to post for a second character, please just use the EDIT button, add it in, and let anyone you might be interacting with know. Collabs are encouraged, but please don't go overboard. We want to have some machine-gun posting too.
Drop your favorite show of the month on the Misc. section of the Character Sheet to make sure youβve read through the rules! <3
Romance is allowed and very much encouraged by the GM and COs, though Guild Rules will apply to the steamier scenes.
If you encounter any situations with a particular user, either take it to PMs, DMs or let us GM's know to see if the situation can be resolved amicably.
There will be a limit of three characters at the max, though if you see yourself only being able to handle a single character that is absolutely fine by me. I'm not too worried about girl/guy ratios, so just worry about what you want to make (though if you are interested in keeping the ratio somewhat even, I will post the girl/guy ratio in the character tab for you to check out).
Our characters, much like us members, are not perfect. I do not want any Eddie Haskell's in the roleplay. I'd like to see some characters with some flaws to them.
I will not be accepting Anime FC's. Real-life face claims only who look the part of a high schooler.
Character sheets should be posted into the OOC for any of the three GM's to review, and once you've been given the green light you are more than welcome to move them over to the Character Tab and begin posting at will.
Please Note: In this roleplay, Covid-19 is non-existent. We will not be incorporating the tragedies of this past year into our roleplay.
Tentative interest, but a few things I wanted to note/ask:
1) Some of your image links for the school are broken. From my own experience, anything hosted under the googleusercontent url acts as a temporary link, eventually refusing access to the picture after some time. Best bet is probably to find them again and upload the images to a place like Imgur.
2) Which grade level(s) are we looking at here? You mention the end goal is graduation, so I imagine seniors are okay. But later on you also mention first years/freshmen in the school info, which raises the point that if we're also including them and the other two grades (sophomore and junior) in the PC cast. I'm assuming you are including all four years of HS as an option, but I figured it was something worth asking regardless of my assumption.
3) The map mentions two story buildings, with the 800 building having a third story. Which buildings are two story?
4) Is there a list of classes available (other than the basics, obviously)? Are there any named individuals so far that teach said classes?
Anyway and with that out of the way, I'll likely reserve Sophia Lillis as a FC if I do join.

1. I fixed that problem, it must have been in the process when you sent your message and I hadn't refreshed the page. It was only just brought to my attention there were questions to answer about half an hour ago heh. Had gotten myself busy with my daughter.
2. Originally I was only looking to include Seniors. The mention of "first years" is supposed to be for students who recently moved into the area or transferred from another school to Delbrook for their Senior year, which would consider this their first year at the Academy. :) I have decided to allow 11th graders, but will be focusing primarily on 12th-grade students. If there are 11th graders being included, they would have to be at the top of their own class and be smart enough to be taking classes above their own grade level.
3. I will have to fix that. The buildings that are two-story are the 2, 3, and 4-hundred buildings. The 900 building is also on the second floor but has no first. There's a bridge leading from the 300 building to the 900 hallway, and a staircase below the 900 where the 400 meets with it that also leads up to the 900 building's hallway.
4. I will include some classes in a lengthy list in the left sidebar for when the OP is posted in the RP thread. So far, Vicier and I will be in charge of operating most of the classes. Members are able to apply to operate certain classes if they so choose.
I hope this helps you. :) I will be updating the OP to include all of this information. Thank you!
Since I see people saying which faces they are going for I'll go ahead and throw some out. I am not gonna reserve any of them as I don't know which character concepts I wanna work with most. Also doing this so if anyone was thinking one of the same faces they can go ahead and let me know so I can go ahead and forget that character concept for this RP.
The faces are as follow:
Daneliya Tuleshova - The character here is actually one that has selective mutism. It makes conversing interesting but I have used her successfully before. But her main thing is an unimposing, shy girl who expresses herself mostly through her artwork. Unfortunately, I am bad at judging ages on appearance. I know she is to young to be a senior or junior but I don't know if any of the pictures online could be believable as such.(Actually, could switch this face out for India Eisley.)
Nayeli Rangel - If you look at any pictures of her it is fairly obvious what her deal would be. She is a jock through and through with soccer being her favorite sport. She's obsessed with her family and soccer. Be careful if you take her lucky number.
Tye Sheridan - Goofball kid who loves musicals. Being in them and watching them. Never has been good at expressing himself but enjoys making others laugh and giving them a smile.
If anybody has issues searching for a diverse range of face claims, I'd recommend this directory. It has hundreds of face claims and allows you to sort by race, age, gender, hair color, and eye color. It also identifies nearly every photographed person, which is pretty helpful. I use it frequently in my own games.

I've had mixed results and experiences with that specific directory, but overall it's one of the better ones I've come across on Tumblr and there are some real hidden gems if you look hard enough!
