Man I must sound like I'm lecturing. I'm just trying to be helpful I LOVE YOU ALL
No, I get where you'er coming from. I only have so much writing skills before I get cliched though.

I could totally see @The Scotsman character shouting "Jocks, Nerds, Goths! Lend me your ears!"
And I'm assuming my guy is gonna be put into the engineers/mechanics.
And one last thing; ever since i saw the rp title and read the the IC, I've always wondered what the tie-in was, cause I have no idea.
Me too, the poeticness is highly necessary to the developement of my character.
Dude, I was gonna make Braden the leader hahah. Being from the UK, I actually forgot Auto Shop was a subject which is a shame because it would've fit Jack better than Physics.
WilsonTurner and Tancuras have both done a good job of explaining it. It's the idea of the event forcing people to safety to try and survive. I took the line from the
30 Seconds to Mars song, 'Hurricane'.The disaster is the hurricane, and the hurricane is so devastating [in an unusual way] that it's driving the survivors to safety of some sort.
Also, my character is probably going to resent Jack. Js. Not that he'd know it, unless he were to pull Ro into a different room and start hounding on him like he does with a few others.
Also, is there going to be a disaster that involves the deaths of many of the several thousand students? Because in a week, most of them would be dead, anyways, unless the controlled characters were able to mass-ship supplies in from supermarkets and the like. Several thousand students wouldn't survive in the long term- any operations to get any kind of lasting supply of food or water would be so large that the bad guys- whom I assume will be attacking sooner or later- would probably... attack.
That's pretty much it, yeah.
No worries, I'm getting the feeling he may be coming off as thinking he's so nice and cool, and that he's just the best. Not my intention, but it's never the intention of the person in that position anyway.
I'm thinking of something. I have an idea in the works which I may start detailing in this post, if not the one after. Bad guys are incoming. Get ready for the bad guys.
@WilsonTurner In the setting we're in, the school was made to act as a shelter in the event of a terrorist attack. The GM has said as much in his posts throughout this thread and the interest check. It's equipped with security systems and food and water rations, though the details of this haven't been made apparent.
We have food to last about a week, maybe more as the school was built with 7500 students in mind. I feel like giving this choice to whichever writer finds the storage space and letting them decide if the school got that weeks delivery or if the were getting it the next day, but I don't want one of you to throw my story to shit so already hahah.
