[OOC] St. Fortuna's Academy for the Higher Arts

[Avanhelsing]

@Discontent
Henri is 6'3". I don't want him too tall.

[Invader Len]

@Invader Len

I see. but the spots are filled already, aren't they?
I don't know if it would be of any use if i fixed it.

About the blind thing, it was a typo.
It should be "almost making him blind" but i was literally rushing to try and get my character accepted.

@13org

The original 24 spots are taken, however, we are still accepting people. If you fix up your CS quickly, you will be place on the waiting list and paired with any mages on the waiting list. As it just so happens, there is one. It's up to you if you wish to continue though! :)

[Holy Grail]

@Invader Len *Passes out* That was the fastest i have ever edited an app before! (x__x) Just feel lucky i actually had this length of time to submit an app today, though!

When will the sets of mage-familiar partners be decided as well? Gotta get off for the night at this point myself due to a few things i need to do around the house, but just wanted to ask to make sure of things. Not trying to rush you though! XD

And do we need to discuss anything in regards to helping my OC stay in things despite my 1-2 times a week of posting time schedule? Albeit i might have moments i can post quicker, but i also wanted to double check on this matter as well.

[13org]

He wasn't expelled because his family was very influent. That and his good physical were the only things saving him from being expelled (I believe I explained this on the CS)

About what happened with the other students? he doesn't know. He was sent to the hospital after that.

@13org

the edits I made on the previous post.

Plus: I said that he changed after the accident. Obviously isn't something instantaneous, but after that he is trying to change.

Anyways, I fixed the typos.

Where I live, military academies really prepare you to be a soldier. That means even doing serious military drills when you get to the high school. Students tend to take it very seriously (mainly due to the difficulty.) anyone who treats it like a joke will be hated by others who are working hard for it.

A shoulder tackle, a bump, not a full body tackle.

I'm not going to lie, I feel like I'm not good enough for this rp... simply loved the settings, plus I need an RP that doesn't die (most of the interesting RPs I've entered died...)

[Discontent]

@Avanhelsing Added it in. Though 6'3" is pretty tall.

[Avanhelsing]

@Discontent
*Scoffs and gets a haughty accent*
Maybe for short people!!!

I know it is. I forget that sometimes.

[onenote]

Alright guys, now that we got all original 24 spots filled, you know what that means? It means pairing timeeeeeeeeee!!! We'll post who is with who once we got everyone a partner! And remember, this isn't just your partner but also your roommate, so the two of you will be getting to know each other very well!

Also, we're currently working on the Ic and should have it up sometime tomorrow, so there's that to look forward too!

And for those of you who didn't make the original 24, no worries! You'll be placed on a waiting list, and whenever a familiar or mage (depending on your character is) comes along, you can then join the rp! You still have to be accepted though so be sure to carefully look over your cs's.

[MechonRaptor]

I've created a sorta relationship thing so that people can keep track of character history, or well, used one that I've previously had in a sadly old RP. I've only done myself, but here's what it looks like using my character as an example:

Nathan's Relations

╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗

Nathaniel Zane Elswood

╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

"These guys, huh... Alright, here's what I know..."

| ☀ Friends | ✌ Neutral | ☕ Who? | ☠ Not fond of | ⚜ Acquaintances | ✸ Best friends | ❤ Love interest | ❧ Dating |

HENRI AMBERHALL

|| HENRI AMBERHALL||

⚜"Oh, Henri? I tutor him... He needs it too. I don't mind the guy though."⚜
During their first year, Nathan dedicated a lot of time into helping Henri out as his tutor so that he wouldn't fall behind. While he has taken notice that Henri isn't subtle when he occasionally flirts, he doesn't pay the boy much mind when it comes to flirting.

ANELISE D’NELL

|| ANELISE D’NELL ||

☀"Oh, Anelise. She's alright in my book, and we occasionally study or sing together. She kinda understands, and that's nice."☀
Anelise is one of the few people during their first year to have broken through to Nathan due to their shared interests in music, among other things. He doesn't mind her company, and is much more talkative and nice towards her than towards others so far.

KORRIGAN 'KORREY' UMBRAISIS

|| 'KORREY' UMBRAISIS ||

✌ "Korrey? Oh... he's tried to get me to be 'outgoing' But why? At least he also wants to learn like I do, despite our differences..."✌
Nathan isn't sure what to think of Korrey. He's taken note that Korrey is trying to make him talk more, which at times can be annoying to him. That is balanced by the fact they both have common ground in a desire to learn, and as such, he doesn't mind Korrey, but doesn't go out of his way to be around him.

[Invader Len]

@Holy Grail *gives you some smelling salts* That was definitely some break-neck editing there, bucko! As for when partners will be decided, we GMs three will begin discussion, and formulate our results in a mystical, hidden google doc. The results will likely be posted tomorrow afternoon.

As for the schedule, shoot us a PM, and we can work something out!

@13orgWe'll look over your CS shortly. While I can understand that may be the case where you live, you must understand that this is a fantasy world, and the genre is slice of life. We do not want things to be too violent or angsty in this genre, and if you look over past reviews, you'll see we've corrected others who make things too violent/dark/edgy. When it comes down to it though, we have the final say on whether you're accepted or not, and we'd very much appreciate if we didn't have to fight you on our decisions. We don't want to turn people out, but we have a standard to uphold, and violence and torture have been struck from other people's CS's as well. That's why I suggested accidents, if you want to keep your character's scars.

It's not a question of being good enough. We're willing to give everyone a chance. We would just like it if you heeded our criticisms.

@MechonRaptor

Don't mind if I steal that format, do ya? I like doing stuff like this in these kinda of RP's, as it's neat and helps me keep everybody straight.

[MechonRaptor]

@Raijinslayer
Of course not, I wouldn't have shared it if I didn't mind people using it. It'll look really cluttered though before you post though, but it does help keep track of who knows who, things like that. xD

[13org]

@Invader Len

I'm not fighting anyone, nor trying to impose my opinions or anything like that.
I was just explaining myself why I wrote that way. I felt like we had a different view on how a military academy worked, so that's why I explained myself why I wrote that way.

I'm trying to adapt my idea to your standards, not the other way around.

I've never included violence, torture or anything like that on my cs though.

[TheHangedMan]

@MechonRaptor Has Nathan got an opinion on Leo or are they not even acquaintances at this point?

(Come on guys, Leo needs friends! Probably! Maybe! I Dunno!)

[Klaykid]

@MechonRaptor
Oh hey! I remember that thing from the High School RP.

[MechonRaptor]

@TheHangedMan

I haven't considered Leo yet, but we can discuss it if you want. He seems like a more uptight Nathan, but for different reasons. Leo likes the nobility aspect, while Nathan moreso wants to forget it, even if they're the ones paying for his tuition. Idk, do you have any ideas? I'm open to em if you do!

@Klaykid

Yup! I figured I could bring it over here, seeing as we have a similar sized cast, you know? I do miss Arrowsmith High though, can't believe it was started nearly half a year ago!

[onenote]

@Invader Len

I've never included violence, torture or anything like that on my cs though.

@13org

While I can see how some people might disagree, we are on a general consensus that having a grenade explode in your face and being tackled by classmates into a barbed wire fence constitute as violence. There were less violent ways to get those scars, like a car accident or a wild animal attack like Len advised.

I'm not fighting anyone, nor trying to impose my opinions or anything like that.

@13org

I understand that but that's not how we feel that it works and that makes your cs feel implausible to us. Remember, this isn't the real world, this is the world that my fellow gms and I have made. That leaves us feeling like you are trying to impose the way you think in that aspect. We have the final say when it comes to world-building aspects, and while we are willing to work with you, when we say something should or shouldn't be that way, then it should or shouldn't be that way.

[13org]

@onenote

That's exactly what I said. I never said something should or shouldn't be.
I was explaining myself. I felt that the way I was depicting things was a little off from what you know or are familiar with. I was just explained why it sounded so weird to you the way i was depicting a military academy.

As I said earlier, I'm trying to adapt my ideas to your RP. Not the other way around. I never said that I thought things should be some way or another. If you take a look at my CS I'm editing every single bit you tell me to do so.

PS: I'm just trying to not sound weird... I don't live on USA or UK or any English speaking country. That's why i'm explaining myself. I'm just trying to NOT be the weirdo......

@13org

You still haven't changed the barbed wire accident. I'm gonna put my foot down on this now, and if he does not have it changed in the next edit, then we will reject your CS. We're well within our rights as GMs to do so, and we have stated multiple times that this level of violence and brutality is banned. Change it to an accident or get rid of it entirely. This is the last I will say on the matter. If you can't see how grenade explosions, violent bullying, and razor wire go against our rules, then I'm sorry, but this RP is not for you. Not being fluent in English is not an excuse for refusing to change your CS to something less violent. We've asked many times for it to be changed, we've been nice, understanding, and have offered alternatives. This is your last chance. Change the backstory, or I'm afraid we will not have a place for you in the RP.

@Invader Len

Just @ us when you’ve made the necessary changes. We will review your CS then. And please calm down.
