What happens if a student accidentally kills another student.
I'm not saying everyone will kill everyone... but logically, fatalities WILL happen.

They will be suspended from further fights until an investigation is held to see if it was fowl play. If it's determined an accident then they may be allowed again after attending a special safety class.

Due to the vital spirit plot device it will make fatalities less likely unless you really start beating on them. Therefore, normally fatal blows will still win you the fight but not as likely kill them.

Fair enough I suppose. I just figured a fatality of a couple NPCs or maybe even a PC might be an interesting plot point. The death happens, student that killed the other student is traumatized at being a killer, etc.

On that note, I have been tossing around a couple ideas in my head for a central plot... but I don't want to come across like I'm trying to take your RP or assume direct control of it. I'll post them here or PM them to you later. For now, I have to go do stuff.

It could happen.

You can post your ideas here.

Sorry for the delay. I have been freaking out really bad. Lost my wallet, can't find it, and rent is due in three days. I'll get my ideas posted when I'm less stressed.

Still interested, obviously. Not sure about Kal-El and Sloth, though. They drag their heels a lot.

I HAVE FOUND WHAT MY STUDENT SHALL USE AS A POWER!

Instructor and Student coming soon.

Mind if I jump in?

Please do.

Plot ideas

1.) New Peaks is one of the first private schools in the world to allow those "alternative life forms" to attend. This draws the ire of other rival schools and pro-human groups. These opposing parties eventually infiltrate or already have infiltrated the school, with students AND instructors. When they feel the time is right or when they get a signal from whoever... they strike. Sabotaging school events, framing semi-human students for crimes or whatever, and ultimately using outright force to try and get the semi-humans out of New Peaks.

2.) One instructor, or maybe a former employee who was fired, can use a suggestive type of power. Similar to a Jedi Mind trick, but much more subtle and taking a longer time to actually get results. However, once the power starts working and is in full swing, the person under the control thinks that the suggestions are their own idea.The control inflicts mental damage slowly, but by the time it is found out... its too late and the controlled person has done something horrible to harm or maybe even kill another instructor or student, damaging New Peaks' reputation in the eyes of the world.

3.) Flip-side of Plot #1. New Peaks is one of the LAST private schools to allow the semi-humans. Pro-human groups knew it was a losing battle and finally stopped fighting it, but the Pro-Alt.Life groups are still butthurt about it taking so long, and do some shit to harm the human instructors/students, not realizing that its doing nothing but hurting their cause.

1 or 2.

Of those two, I think 1 would be a better plot. to start off with.

Yeah, maybe. I might create a C rank alternative lifeform at some point soon(?)

Or Sloth could make his instructor a new hire and go with an animal-man.

........Why?

Also how would I even explain him being a thing in a universe that apparently despises him.

Because New Peaks is one of the first private schools to allow Alternative Life Forms. PRIVATE SCHOOLS. Public places allow them. Private places are mostly of the mindset of "Well, they might have some ability that grants them an unfair advantage." etcetera.

I more-so meant "What the hell would he teach?" as, presuming this is some pretty tense situation what with "alternative life formsñ, I doubt he could get a proper education and all that kind of shit.

Teach an elective course, like a foreign language, art, music, etc.

I'll start the IC with some secretive exposition meeting going on, I guess. They will just be NPCs.

As good a place as any to start, really. So long as it gets the ball rolling. Maybe end it with a short intro of your instructor greeting one of my characters or something. That way we can start introducing everyone.

Would it be acceptable if I were to write up a recruitment post for this, and post it on your behalf in the IntChecks? Drum up some additional players, maybe.

Or maybe a NPC lady greeting students at the challenge board? That way we can start things off by setting it up where a lot of students interested in the fights will be in close proximity.

You can handle the recruitment if desired. I'll try to ask around a bit as well. There's already an interest check in the arena.

I don't think you'd want them to sign up for a fight together, would you, Beta? Mine would obviously lose if that would take the fun out of the fight for you. Maybe we could wait for fights until more people show up.
