This is a story about a high school, friendship, and a ghost busting club.

It's a story about rivalries. A story about mystery, and the great unknown. But it starts… like this.

You are a student. A high school student, to be specific, at Edison High. A somewhat normal, boring high school in the sleepy town of Sandalwood. And to be even MORE specific, you’re in eleventh grade. A junior.

It’s September, and you’ve been back at school for about two weeks now. Maybe you’ve been at this school for your whole life. Maybe you’re a recent transfer. Maybe you’re the classic, all American jock, or maybe you’re the nerdiest kid on the math team. It really doesn’t matter: regardless, your high school career is about to get shaken up.

And it’s all because of a flyer.

What’s that, you say? Explain? Well, why don’t you read the flyer, and see for yourself?

Hey, Edison High student! We want YOU for the ghostbusting club!


Sick and tired of your ordinary high school life? Want a little something to spice things up? Well, look no further, because an exciting new club is coming to Edison High— the ghostbusting club!

If you haven’t stopped reading by now, then surely you know of our town’s colorful history, full of murders, curses and suicides. That’s right: Sandalwood is a hotspot of supernatural activity! Have you ever heard the clanging of chains outside your door at night? Stumbled upon a cursed object?

Maybe you have, maybe you haven’t. It doesn’t matter! If you’re interested in taking advantage of our town’s rich supernatural history, and want to make the best of your high school career, then all you’ve got to do is fill out the form at the bottom of this flyer. Then, come to our first club meeting after school in the biology classroom!

Hope to see you there!!
--Angie Anderson, club president and founder

SO WHAT IS THIS?

Hi! I’m Bunny, and this is an RP I’d like to start up!

The concept is pretty simple: a slice-of-life and horror fusion RP, with friendship, romance, drama and rivalries highly encouraged. Basically, you’ll play as a student at Edison High, a boring and incredibly normal high school in Sandalwood, the sleepy little town that just so happens to be a hotspot for supernatural activity.

Maybe you see the flyer and decide that you’ll give the club a shot. Maybe you join on a dare. Maybe you’re recruited by the enthusiastic club president, Angie Anderson. No matter what the reason is, you join the ghostbusting club. You might know the other kids who join the club, but only by reputation. After all, there’s an awful lot of people in your school. Far too many to keep track of.

Considering that this is going to be mainly revolving around the club, their relationships with one another, and the “missions” that the club president comes up with each week (with a few overarching plot arcs that I’m currently working on), I’d like us to focus pretty heavily on character growth and development. I’d like interesting, original characters that are clearly different from one another, with equally interesting flaws in spades— the sorts of characters that seem like real people. So make your characters interesting, but don’t go too overboard.

So what do you guys think? I think it could be pretty fun, although it probably needs to be hashed out a little more. It’s also probably going to end up a high-casual/low-to-mid-advanced RP.

But anyway-- thoughts? Ultimately, I'd like this to be an enjoyable RP, with just enough drama to make things interesting, and lots of friendship, romance (if you want), and rivalries! It would be nice if we RP-ers could be friends too, and have a good time in the OOC.

I also have a character sheet template ready~!! ^^

A quick note: regardless of the whole 'hunting-down-supernatural-thingies' thing we've got going on, I'd much prefer it if your character was a mostly normal human being!



And for an example of a character, the club president’s CS should be up pretty soon. I’m still working on it~!

So, uh... anyone interested? :D

(This has actually already been posted in the general section, but here it is again since let's be real: not too many people actually check the general interest check section~!)

Hmm mildly interested at the moment, since I have a few uncertainties.

I guess the thing that's most off-putting for me at the moment is the comment
Nightmare Bunny: "the sorts of characters that seem like real people"

I've always had bad experiences with people who insist on realism. Probably has something to do with the community I was in, where dying loved ones, mental disorders, and drug abuse supposedly contributed to 'realism' since everyone has their problems... or something @_@

I'm not planning anything extreme, but was kind of thinking of going with a stereotype. (Like the math nerd, American jock example). Cause... well, you know. A geeky guy on the maths team, talking in numbers and drawing diagrams and equations in his free time really isn't all that 'realistic'. xD




Also how many people do you need before you're happy to start working on an OoC?
In the meantime, looking forward to that CS~

Hrm....

I'm thinking of making a skeptical character, who dismisses everything as wind or some other stuff xD

I'm thinking...cocky, but intelligent and otherwise friendly redhead who likes writing a bit too much who's secretly a huge anime nerd

That's about all I got right now xD

I'll work on some more details later. Feeling rather tired, as I stayed up until like, 3 AM and woke up at six >_>

Oh, goodness!!! That's totally not what I meant by "people who seem like real people". As a matter of fact, what I meant by that was, like... don't give me a character who's, I don't know, flawless in every way, a multimillionaire and named something like Sparkling Azure Emerald Ruby Marvelous the Third. And trust me-- dying loved ones? Random drug abuse? Yeah, that's really not my thing.

I just meant that I'd like it if you could conceivably imagine the character to be a person: maybe a quirky person, maybe not. Stereotypes are usually rooted in the truth, and I'd love to see a kind of nerdy character. Your character concept sounds perfect to me. I should probably reword that if it's so misleading, huh?

And if there's anything else that stands out to you as odd or off-putting, tell me!!! Please!!! I want to make this RP as fun as possible. ^^

As for how many people before I make an OOC... well, including you, I've already had four people express interest. I was actually going to make an OOC as soon as I got home from classes and my softball game :)

-edit-

Also, about Angie: she's going to be an incredibly enthusiastic, comically serious horror buff and supernatural fan. So yeah.

Found it! :)

I'd probably make a brunette with glasses who's a total computer geek and writes code for fun and has a pair of white rats as pets.
Say hello to your resident hacker, folks.

That and uh she'd be a slightly heavier hopeless romantic and is a sucker for brownies and oddly plants and tending to them, so she always smells like something or the other.

Socially awkward? Yes. Friendly? Definitely. But with a nervous habit of fiddling.

I'm thinking about playing a grumpy, somewhat stoic character who's recently been having really vivid and trippy nightmares, and because of this, she (or he, possibly) has been trying to forego sleep at night and taking short naps in the middle of the day. Whether you want to use that a trait as basis or tool for an arc, it's up to you.

Plus, she's already going to have an interest in the occult. Possibly a little on the goth side XD

Ah well that's certainly a relief.
Don't worry about the wording, it's probably just me and the community I've been lurking on xD
I just have words which ring alarm bells in my head like "No one-liners, literate roleplayers only, realistic characters, etcetc).

But enough about my drama llama experiences xD
The example I provided actually has nothing to do with what I was planning, only used the math geek as an example.
Actually tried to summarize him like everyone else is doing, but it's probably just easier to come up with a CS xD

Nitpicking, but one inconsistency I saw was the
'Eleventh grade' comment at the start, and then the ability to play an age range in the CS.
I'm guessing the later is accurate.
The rest of my qualms are more assumptions and possible concerns, so I won't bombard you with what if's xD

Oh, right. Y'see, this was originally something I wrote up for another concept, but then I changed my mind and edited it... Yet the inconsistency remains. No worries, I'll fix it soon.

Why don't you PM them to me? That way, we can talk them over privately, without bothering anyone else~! =)

Oh uh, going to go with an asshat. Really concerned with appearances, reputation, and the sort. I think. Err, probably. Kinda brainstorming at the moment.

I was actually planning to go with a character pretty similar to Bunnita as well xD
Not sure if I should change course, sort of feels like it'll be the local delinquents club xD

xD

Well, I don't mind. My character has ended up being a bit of a journalist and stuff for the school paper, so she'd have fun with stalking you guys for articles and stories to put in the paper~ xD

But seriously, yeah. Going with a skeptical journalist type who just joins so she can disprove everything~ xD
