Rules for RP Conduct


  • REAL LIFE COMES FIRST
    I cannot stress this one enough. I have a family and being an at-home parent with a homeschooled student is pretty full time for me outside of responsibilities as a parent. I am busy with RL a lot. Git has a very busy life offline and cannot get on as often as others. I'm sure others in this RP have RL responsibilities - school, jobs, families - and that comes first. If you are going to be gone for an extended period of time, feel free to drop us a line. I will do what I can to make sure you aren't left in the dust.
  • Don't be a dick. We're all here to have fun.
  • Keep it PG-13. Aside from the forum stuff, we are playing kids in a school so sex and drugs aren't really going to be allowed on campus anyways. Swearing is okay, just keep it to a minimum.
  • Try not to spam. If you see you're going back and forth with only 1 person for a long time, maybe let it sit for a bit? If you and another want to do a whole solo scene for a conversation or whatever, maybe take it to our discord or in a PM then post the conversation IC? This isn't about not being inclusive, just not taking a full 20 post page for just 2 players.
  • Try not to leave anyone out. Tagging people is the best way to make sure they see you are interacting with them; if you see you were tagged, try to include them in your post.
  • If you have questions, concerns, ideas, whatever - contact me or @Gittarackur We're here to help.

This RP will be Co-GMed with @Gittarackur.



At some point you have received this welcome letter.
Are you a new student eagerly awaiting your turn to start at the first ever official school for metahumans?
Or are you a returning student eager to see what the new year has in store?






Welcome to Anepool's Academy for the Gifted
Scientia Procedit Potestas

Beyond the sprawling gates and eight foot high brick fencing, lies the campus of the world's first school dedicated to educating metahumans both in terms of how to control and utilize their abilities (as well as teach those capable of learning it magic) but an education akin to what their human counterparts learn in standard school. While it is part of a populated city, it certainly helps carve out it's own space among the city sprawl.

It covers around 500 acres of carefully kept grounds, giving students plenty of space to be themselves without prying eyes or potential harm to innocent bystanders should a lesson regarding magic go awry. Set up much like a university, it has multiple buildings dedicated to specific studies as well as separate buildings for dorms, student centers and the library, administration, and sports. There are plenty of wooded areas with walking trails, fountains, benches, and even a few ponds and streams cultivated throughout the grounds.

As the first school of its kind in the world, Anepool Academy for the Gifted hosts students from all over the world (and beyond). After the second year of operation it has expanded some of its building footprint to house the increased student body. Students from across the globe are welcome to apply, and the school does its best to accommodate them. Many of the teachers are multilingual and while it is required that Earth-native students speak English to attend, there are staff available to help students improve their English language skills as well as assist non-terrestrial students in learning a language to communicate with others.




The World

This will take place in an alternative timeline from our own.
While most world events will be the same, elements of them are altered to include the introduction of magic/metahumans. If there is a world event you would like to know our spin on, feel free to ask how it happened for our RP. Examples of such events will be covered in the History section, but for the most part we're looking at highlighting pieces of American history as this world has altered them.

As far as technology goes, there are all sorts of tech we view as futuristic that have been around since the 90s here. While fossil fuels aren't a thing of the past, it is the alternative energy source now as opposed to the main source. While flying cars still aren't a thing, electric and self-driving cars are the prolific mode of transportation for many, and technology continues to advance at an accelerated rate.

Magic, as well as meta-humans in the form of mutants and beings of lore, has been public for only a little while. While it has mixed reception in some communities still, it is - for the most part - accepted as something that is not going away, and people have learned to cope with the fact that humans really aren't the only sentient life out there; that reality itself is far more than what they previously thought.

Every day, you pass someone on the street - usually unaware there is anything more to them than what they appear. That's just as true for this universe. The barista that just made your coffee could be teaching herself how to use magic, or perhaps that "self-made millionaire" was born with the superhuman ability to see probabilities and uses it to pick just the right stocks to amass his fortune. Perhaps the guy that you always see working the night shift isn't actually as human as he appears.

Not everyone in the world can learn to use magic; some are born with innate powers, while others can study to learn it. Whether or not you can is something you are born with, or perhaps was thrust upon you by some external force. It is illegal in many countries to experiment on people, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen, and sometimes pesky extradimensional beings will leave their mark after a visit - that was how this all began, after all.

But let's stick to the basics. There are 2 major categories all meta-humans fall under:

Those with innate magical abilities, and those that have the ability to learn to use magic.
From there, magic breaks down a bit further into a few more categories:


Nature - this covers all abilities that utilize elements, beasts, plant life, and/or even summon beings of such elements to you.

Personal - this covers abilities that come from the mind (psychics, telepaths, telekinetics, etc) or augment bodies (strength, speed, endurance, invisibility, shapeshifting, etc).

Intellect - this covers not just hyperintelligence, but also those with an innate knack for building complex and advanced devices.

Void - this covers powers akin to interdimensional access, such as teleportation, summoning/communicating with things beyond this world, extradimensional travel, and even drawing on powers from a dimension called the Void (top scientists are still trying to get a firm grasp on what that exactly is, but their best explanation currently is a realm of negative energy.)

Ki - this deals with the ability to manipulate the latent tangible energy found in all living objects and manipulate it for various purposes such as energy blasts, flight, and - in a few rare cases - healing.

Mutants - while previously believed to be the proper term for those born with the innate ability to use magic, it is far beyond that; aliens, beings of supernatural lore such as vampires, and people that were experimented on into being able to use magic all fit into this category. Mutants tend to already have a handle on how to use their natural powers, but some (particularly those that experimented on) do not.



The Setting


We will be students at the Anepool Academy for the Gifted, a boarding school dedicated to teaching meta-humans not only standard school courses, but also helping them understand, control, and utilize their magic in productive ways. There are plenty of extracurricular opportunities outside of learning magic, and even their standard classes offer a wide range of interests outside of standard curriculum and magicks. They host students in 7th - 12th grade, and graduates have the same opportunities as those graduating standard schools.
The campus is enclosed and monitored, so sneaking onto and off of campus will be difficult (but not impossible, if you were to ask some alum). Students are assigned dorms based on gender, but recent years have seen some shift to that with transgendered students being offered housing in a newly constructed dormitory that is based on a gender neutral concept; students housed here will still share a dorm room with another student, but both students will be of the same gender identity.

Anepool is one of the top most prosperous cities on the east coast, and is known for it's food, diversity, and has recently become an economic center for the US. It consists of six boroughs - Lewis, Minks, Sphinx, Roldo, Polis, and Cannes.

Lewis

The largest borough, it sports a major residential section.
It is known for being ethnically diverse, while sporting a large Asian and black immigrant population.
Noted as one of the safest boroughs of the city, it's commonly said to be a great place to raise kids.
While it does sport commerce, most shops are department stores or small shops.

Minks

The most populated district, it is subject to gentrification for many years.
It is known for having an extremely active street life and lots of gang violence.
Minks, being the most populated, is known to be referred to by its two distinct sections - South Minks and North Minks.
South Minks is home to an affluent business sector and a great place for many aspiring to start large businesses to move to. It is also the home of Anepool Academy for the Gifted.
North Minks is, colloquially, a ghetto - known for its violence, as well as producing very talented drill artists.

Sphinx

Considered to be the upscale borough out of the six, it's known for its high rises and banking centers, as well as it's fashion, art, and entertainment destinations.
This is where the seat of the city's municipal government resides.

Roldo

Known to be the most violent borough, most of the city's organized crime is based here.
It has several street gangs, and almost all major criminal syndicates and organizations have roots here as well.
It's known to be the city's hub for illicit trading and black market dealings, especially for advanced weaponry and other illegal goods.

Polis

A small island off the coast of the city could be considered a town of its own - this happens to be Polis, the 5th district of Anepool.
It is known to be a fishing town, and is also known to be the quietest borough as it does not boast any real attractions aside from great fishing spots.
Many believe it to be cursed, as it is one of the many locations where otherworldly invaders first appeared.

Cannes

This borough was recently designated an experimental section created by the Anepool city council to be host exclusively to meta-humans.
Known for being the base for many major technology and manufacturing corporations, it makes start competition with North Minks for business ventures.







Like I said before, we'll be playing students at the Anepool Academy for the Gifted.

Everyone will get to play up to 2 characters for now.

Characters should be no younger than 12, and no older than 19. Exceptions can and will be made for certain cases but not everyone.

Characters can be from anywhere and any type - but make sure to not make their race OP if not using a base human type. If you're worried about potentially being OP, contact me to review first.

All characters need to be approved before play, but there is no cut off to when people can join if they submit a character sheet and it gets approved.
Sheets are to be submitted to the OOC first. Once approved, they can be moved to the Character Tab.

If you have any questions feel free to post them in the OOC or join the Discord and post them there. Joining the discord is not required, although it is the best way to stay in touch with others as well as get ahold of me.

It's preferred character images are anime/drawn, but images are not required.

Name: Florian Pine
Nicknames/Aliases: Pine (He introduces himself by his last name because people made fun of his first name. It means a lot to him when someone calls him Florian, and doesn’t make fun of him for it.) Ferny (One of the mean names he was called. Do not call him this)
Home Location: South Minks
Age: 18
Grade: 12th
Year of Attendance: 3 1/2

Gender Identity: Male
Race: Plant/Human Hybrid
Natural/Racial Abilities: Being part plant, he can breathe CO2, allowing him to survive in places that lack oxygen. He can also Photosynthesize, so he can go long periods of time without eating or sleeping (though he can still do both if he chooses.) He does require sunlight and water to function. Being cut off from sunlight can weaken him, and eventually kill him. He is also sensitive to heat and cold.

He can turn his skin from green back into a normal tone. He prefers his green skin though.

Height: 6’0”
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye Color: Green
Distinguishing Features: The Green skin is hard to miss. Although he doesn’t have that all the time… There is always some form of plant life on him or around him.
Appearance: Pine is a tall and lean young man. He stands at six feet tall, and has a slim physique. He has a heart shaped face with a firm jaw. His eyes are as green as the forest. He has a mop of blonde hair on top of his head

Pine doesn’t have much of a taste for fashion in his day to day life. He dresses in casual jeans and T-shirts, often green in color and with floral patterns on them. Then other days he just wears floral patterns head to toe. He has even been known to wear flowers in his hair. In all of his outfits, he often wears a pair of thick green glasses.

Personality: Once upon a time, Pine was a shy and nerdy young man. He didn’t have an easy time socializing with people, and also didn’t have much confidence. After gaining his powers, he developed a bit more confidence, but he's still awkward when it comes to interactions with people. He is interested in science, and is particularly fascinated with plants. He often prefers his plants more than other people’s company. He hopes to one day become a scientist himself one day.

Some days, Pine hates humanity. His experience with being bullied, along with the way people take nature for granted, makes him think the world would be better off without humans. He can be rude to people when he first meets them. He can still be rude even after he first meets them. While he’s not opposed to using his powers for violent means, even outright killing people if necessary, he does know he needs some people around to produce CO2 for his plants to function.

There are other times when Pine longs for human companionship. If anyone shows him even the slightest hint of kindness, he will be all for it. He’ll cling to that person and be their best friend. At least until he perceives they did him wrong in some way. In general, his emotions can vary wildly at any given time.

Aspirations: To become a botanist
Fears: Being bullied, plants being mistreated, fire

Strengths: Intelligence, Plant Based Powers
Weaknesses/Flaws: Mood Swings, Not very good social skills, Heat and Cold sensitivity, needs sunlight to function

Magic Type: Nature
Magical Focus: Plants. Pine has the ability to grow and control plants

History: Florian Pine was born to a pair of scientist parents. They studied plantlife, both in the lab and out in the field. They were often busy with their work, so they weren't around very much to raise their son. Sometimes they took him on research trips with them, but when they did, they often left him to his own devices. Even though his parents didn't show their affections all that much, Pine always knew he wanted to be a scientist just like them.

Growing up, Pine always had a fascination for plants. Something he got from his parents. On his free time, he would frolic in the flowers. He saw how often people would casually leave their trash on the floor in the forest, which could harm the environment. Pine would tell them to pick up their trash, and they'd just laugh him off. Others found his intense fascination to be odd. He was often bullied by others because he was physically weaker, psychologically delicate, and in their eyes he was just plain weird.

He would be picked on, beaten up, called demeaning nicknames, every kind of bullying you could imagine. He was even made fun of because his first name was Florian, which was weird. He also had to sit alone during lunch because no one else wanted to sit with him. Him trying to defend himself by saying it means flower did not help the matter.

Despite all the bullying, there was person who seemed to show him kindness. A boy named Evan often defended him from bullies. Evan was handsome and one of the most popular boys in school. Pine was shocked him of all people would take the time to defend him. They hung out together sometimes, and it was the first time Pine actually had a friend! He finally had somebody to sit with during lunch. It didn't take long for Pine to get a crush on Evan. After a long while, Pine finally built up the nerve to ask Evan out on a date. Evan politely turned him down. Pine was not happy about this, but he was able to move on with his life.

Than he heard Evan talking to his girlfriend in the hallway. She witnessed Pine asking her boyfriend out, and wanted to know what happened. Evan basically admitted to his girlfriend that he didn't like Pine all that much, and thought he was as weird as everyone else did. The only reason he defended him was out of pity. He told his girlfriend she was the most important person in his life, and kissed her. Now, Pine was devasted.

He ran away to his family’s garden. That always made him feel better. He had been there countless times. But this time, something happened. When he was done, he found that his skin turned green, and plants seemed to grow around him. He quickly showed his parents this new development. His parents were fascinated. Pine was immediately enrolled into Anepool Academy so he could learn to control his new abilities. Pine was glad to be away from those people who made his life hell.

He is now on his senior year of school. He mostly keeps himself at arms length from others, and is mostly devoted to his studies.

Anything else?
Is Bisexual, but prefers other men.
Has a major sweet tooth
Has other stereotypically nerdy interests like video games and comic books about superheroes. He prefers to enjoy them alone than with others.

@xXSINXx You're not late at all. I won't start reviewing sheets until tomorrow (est) for just this reason. I don't want anyone to feel rushed to get their sheet together. The IC is still going to be another week or so from opening as well. This week is a busy one for me with several family birthdays and then a party this weekend one of them.

Name: Nyla Rose
Nicknames/Aliases: Wraith
Home Location: Osaka, Japan
Age: 17
Grade: 12th
Year of Attendance: 3rd

Gender Identity: Female
Race: Halfa (Half Human, Half Ghost)
Natural/Racial Abilities: As a Halfa, Nyla can become a ghost wheneverver she pleases and can easily pass through walls and solids, she can even possess items to hide or to spook people. Nyla also weilds basic telekinesis allowing her to open doors, throw objects, pop lightbulbs ect. with her mind. Finally she can go invisible for short periods of time. As Halfa, Nyla has a natural connection to the void but will not fully be able to seek out her full void abilities without proper guidence.
Height: 5'4"
Hair Color: Half and Half. Right half is white and left half is black
Eye Color: Right eye is a Golden Ember, Left Eye is pitch black like the void.
Distinguishing Features: Other than her abnormal appearence, she bares a long scar across the front of her right thigh.
Personality: Nyla is quite mischievous, she loves pulling pranks and scaring people for fun, she's also quite the flirt and has no gender preference when it comes to dating others. She also has a guilty conscious that often speaks to her and can take her over, be it usually in times of conflict in this form, she refers to herself or "themselves" as Wraith takes her place mentally.

Wraith is highly unpredictable and dangeruous and quick to anger. They use plural nows to describe themselves as Warith is made up of numerous tormented souls fueled by fear, anguish, pain and hate. Throughout her existence, she has learned to live with Wraith, satisfying them with her delinquency.

Aspirations: To fully be able to access her own abilities and gain control over Wraith, who are living within her. To excell in occult studies and spellcraft, and finally to acheive her personal goal of finding "tranquility within the darkness." She aslo has been fascinated with mental health and has dreams to become the first Halfa psychiatrist or consulor.

Fears:
-Wraith one day taking full control
-Excorsisms
-Holy buildings and grounds

Strengths: Her human half already possess high agility, flexibility, and moderate streangth as her ghost half weilds it's natural abilities. When she goes Wraith she becomes a physical representation of the void itself amd can vent void energy into the darkness this giving her the power toanifets and twist the darkness into whatever illusion she wants to create. This form is much different than her alightly transparent ghost form, Wraith instead is a dark silhouette, darker than any shadow could ever be. Though this form and her ghost form shares every aspect, this form feeds of fear, pain, agony, anger and any other negative or sinful emotions.
Again the only physical damage Nyla can do in her other forms is purely telekinetic. Any other damage is mental.

Weaknesses/Flaws:
-Holy magic
-Light can cancel her illusinal dimension, for it can only be created in complete darkness.
-Her power is limited to what energy she can get from the void or the darkness surrounding her. Each time she uses an ability, it feeds off the surounsing darkness she is using for illusions.
-The presence of light can ultimately affect how much magical energy she has. A small room with no light is more of a pool than a big room with dim light and alot of shadow for therea is light and a limit to how much darkness is around, how much darkness she can use.
-Fire too is a weakness, she can easily avoid a burn but the light created by fire can but a hamper on her energy pool

Magic Type: Personal/Void
Magical Focus: With her natural void abilities she can trap others in an illusional dimension an on earth void in which she can access further abilities. This is where she can also access her adversary's pysche, allowing her to know their worst fears and past trumatic events. With this she can either shapeshift and use void energy to create scenerios, meant to break a person down mentally. However she hasnt fully understood her abilities and she hopes that the achool will help her and provide her with enough knowledge to be able to weild her power the way she wants and get passed the Warith's corruption. Aside from being able to feed off of fear and other emotions, she can access someone's psyche in order to help them find the answers or advice they need

History: Nyla was born into an Occult family, living in Osaka Japan with two other sisters. Being the middle child, Nyla was chose as a conduit for Wraith to exist in. Wraith was and evil and mischievous spiritual being bent on creating havoc in earth. In return her family would be bleased with good health and home until the next generation of her family line comes. As she aged, Nyla chose to study the occult and parnormal entities to try and understand and learn how to coexist with Wraith and how to control the abilities she now weilds. As for Wraith, they were not only evil spiritual beings, they are collection of primordial souls whom died in vain without ever acheiving their goals. Though her family followed the entity's prophetical ways, they sought to give her an opportunity to break away from the cult and live freely in hopes that she could control Wraith and not have Wraith overcome her. She finally got enrolled into Anepool's Academy for the Gifted at fourteen and has attended the school for three years since.

At first her enrollment was turned away due to the being she's burdened with, she had to undergo several psyche evaluations and have a signature feom every Doctor she was instructed to visit to deem it was safe for her to be around others. As she carried out her years at the Academy, she learned alot of self control pertaining to Wraith. She became one of the most mischievous people at the school pranks or hijinks that conspired was usually caused by her as she has discovered Wraith enjoys a good laugh at another person's expense.

@xXSINXx Thank you for trying and the interest in the rp however the conditions of your character such as the magic type does not fit in with the roleplay. Also it appears as if this character has no relation to any part of the story is out of place. There is a lack of background information and her weaknesses don't fit with the story.
