Premise
They say your high school years are the best of your life. Those people are full of shit. Your senior year of High School was one of the worst years of your life. Simone Carter was slaughtered the night of your senior prom, her body dropped from the rafters when the celebratory balloons where released just as the King and Queen were crowned. You still remember the hollow look in her eyes and the blood matting her golden blonde hair. It still wakes you up at night.
Everyone was a suspect; even you. Simone hounded everyone, was a delinquent, did drugs, caused problems. No one liked her, everyone had motive. But in the end the crime was pinned on one person. Cynthia McMillan was charged, convicted and sentenced to life in Shady Pines Ward For The Mentally Insane; ever proclaiming her innocence.
It has been ten years since that day and the high school reunion is here. You haven't stepped back into these halls since you were handed your diploma, too many bad memories. But here you are. Perhaps you want to close old wounds, perhaps you have already moved on, perhaps you just want to see what type of shit show this will be. Whatever the reason, you're here and ready for the three day event.
Oh, one more thing. Cynthias conviction was over turned during appeal. She's back and in attendance and promises to reveal the real killer the night of the alumni dinner. Who will she point the finger at? She claims to have proof she can't wait to share. Granted, if she wasn't insane when she was locked up; she sure as hell is a member of the One Flew Over The CucKoo's Nest club now.
You've arrived, settled in. Things seem okay but are they really? What's going to happen? Is it even safe here with Cynthia roaming the streets? If she is the murderer it isn't. If she isn't, it never was. Will this make the killer show their hand?
Welcome to Murder High.
Overview
Setting: The fictional town of Grimm, Indiana
Time Frame: Fall 2016
Rp Tags: Modern, Slice-Of-Life, High Casual, Romance, Mystery
Type Of RP: Murder Mystery
The Murder: Simone Carter - The School Bully - She dealt drugs, started fights, was hated by everyone. If there was a problem she caused it or at least was the blame for it. Coming from a home with an abusive father and a drunkard mother everyone just chalked it up to the apple not falling far from the tree. Teachers called her unfocused - students said she was more than focused as long as it was along the lines of turning her life into a hell. That was until after she was murdered, this she became the girl that everyone said they wanted to help and tried to be friends with. The load of bullshit that was uttered at her funeral was astounding.
The Convicted: Cynthia McMillan - Runner up in the Home Coming Court - It was finally pinned on her when the murder weapon was found in the back of her car as well as rope that was said to be the same that tied up Simone. Motive? She blamed Simone for not winning home coming queen because Simone stuffed the ballot box in another favor because Cynthia made a move on the one person Simone had the hots for.
The Cliques
The Preps: The group everyone loved to hate if you weren't part of it. If you were you thought you were the royalty of the school. Children from wealthy families usually fell into this clique. You had to drive a BMW, have the best clothes and know all there was to know about pop culture. You also tended to be rather stuck up and looked down your nose at people. You could be cruel the way
you messed with the rest of the students outside of your Clique. Usually dated another Prep or a Jock.

The Jocks: The sports nuts. These were the people that were on the football, softball, baseball or any other team sport. They hung out in the locker room during school or on the field. You came from any type of wealth background or could even be from the slums of the town. Didn't matter. Your popularity was because of your skill. You tended not to be too bright and tended to pick on the lessers; Geeks and Freak. Cheerleaders fell into this group and you dated them, another Jock or a Prep. Anything else was just for bragging rights for the Bang Bang score.

The Bookworms: You were all about them A's, them A's, No B's! You rocked it out in the labs and the library. Nose always in a book or eyes glazed over looking at the computer screen. Did you date? Rarely and usually only in your own clique, though you might be seen with the Geeks debating whether or not Superman and Wonder Woman could actually have kids together.
The Geeks: The DnDers, Comic Book readers, Anime Lovers and all up to date on the latest Stan Lee cameo in a movie. You tossed dice on Saturday night instead of getting high. You were the ones that got picked on more than even the Bookworms. The Jocks and Preps marked you as an easy target. It sucked but you still carried your Geek Banner high. You managed to mingle with both the bookworms and the Freaks. You seemed to be the bridge between the two. Or at least a quick Tardis Ride between the Cliques.
Band Geeks: Do I really need to go into this one? You played an instrument, you wore a horrible uniform, you played at football games, you went to band camp.
Jasmin Morgan
The Freaks: The Goths, the punks, the metal heads and pot heads. You wore Black and dabbled in the occult. Sure, you may have done drugs, known your sexuality before others were willing to admit it but you knew who you were even if that was an emotional mess. No one dared screw with you, you were nuts enough to cut a bitch.
Riley Ridgeway
The Asians: Stereotype much? You were born of Asian decent, didn't matter the nationality. There were a few of you in school and you stuck together like glue. You mingled with the rest from time to time but we're usually to busy speaking about the latest j/k pop star to get in with the other crowds.
Hye-Eun Song
Jae-kwoon Park
The Rest: You really didn't have a clique. You kind of floated between all of them. You were the few that had your head screwed right on your shoulders right? That or you just didn't know who you were yet. Either way, this could be a good or a bad thing, depending on how it went. You never had anyone close but you weren't brutalized either. Solitude was both a blessing and curse.

Character Sheet
Relation Sheet
Relation sheet must be completed for active members of the RP. You will have two relations with each character - One is your relation during HS, the other is your relation since HS. PM each person in the RP and work out these relations before the start of the RP - Add your Relation Sheet below your CS in the CS Tab. (Also, do some work on these relations. Don't just PM someone asking "hey, what are your thoughts." - this is completely lazy. Actually read other peoples CS's and see what you think on how your own character might have reacted to them. What you do as far as relations go before during HS and since will be weaved into the story line - help drive it forward. ^_^)
