Dictator High

Description

Dictator High is an exclusive all-boys high school for cloned dictators. They not only focus on academics but also on instilling leadership traits and preparing boys to be ready for the responsibilities authoritarian rule demands.

Mission Statement

Dictator High recognizes that each child is an individual; that all children are creative; that all children need to succeed. Therefore, Dictator High respects the individual needs of children; fosters a caring and creative environment; and emphasizes the social, emotional, physical, intellectual development of each child.

Out of Character Information

• Player-characters will be high school aged boys, aged 13-18.
• Focus will be on out of class activities, but not exclusively.
• There is a nearby all-girls school for joint affairs, such as dances, theater productions, and the like.
• I expect proper spelling and grammar, but understand that typos occur.
• Post length should be one solid paragraph at a minimum - 5 sentences in the least.
• This is meant to be humorous (sometimes darkly so), but keep in mind that randomlol does not equal hilarious.
• I do expect you to be at least wikipedia-familiar with the dictator you choose to portray.
• Feel free to toss out classes to include on a roster, or teachers/guest lecturers, have some fun in creating the environment.
• Gandhi is the principal. He just is, don't worry about it.

The hard part here is picking a dictator.

[Vanq]

So many dictators to choose from, so little time to do them all justice.

And perhaps, to clear out the elephant in the room, Hitler is off limits.

Why, you ask? Well he attended dictator high the previous year of classes before our story starts. However, it seems he failed an art class and rather than take a different extracurricular he caused a fuss and joined the boy scouts instead. He has since been expelled in his absence.

Well I just subscribed to this. I'd join, but I'm already drowning in RP's, y'know? If I did join, I kinda wanna do putin. But I don't really 'know putin' yet, y'know?

Edit: Ah wait putin didn't die before the 90's.

fuck.

There aren't rally any female dictators, so I'm assuming that all characters are to be men? The girls school would have clones of evil/crazy woman rulers from history??

You're welcome to observe, but unless there is some KGB conspiracy with a Putin double, he's still kicking.

@Emma

No, none that I can think of who would really classify as dictators. The girls school isn't really a focus but was a reminder that yes, there will be NPC-ish females around if needed. The girls school is focused on raising attractive women of adequate knowledge, groomed to complement the boys at Dictator High during adolescence and beyond.

Dear god.

I think I'll just sit by and...and...watch this. Maybe work up the effort to pull off a Dictator myself, but oh my god this sounds like an absolutely wonderful trainwreck of hilarity and controversial humor waiting to happen.

That's the goal!

So I only recently joined this site (as is probably evident through my post count) and this interest check totally caught my eye.
The only question I have is, is there a limit as to how far back can the dictators go? Would Julius Caesar, for example, be a valid choice for a clone?

Other than that, definitely interested to get involved with this super-duper-evil-dictator-high-school roleplay!

Welcome to RPG, I hope you enjoy your time here. ^.^

I can see the appeal of bringing in characters like Julius Caesar, but I do not see them fitting the role precisely.

I'm looking at, in general, for more modern applications of "dictator." In general, a term used to describe a leader who holds and/or abuses an extraordinary amount of personal power, especially the power to make laws without effective restraint by a legislative assembly. This would be characterized by some of the following traits: suspension of elections and of civil liberties; proclamation of a state of emergency; rule by decree; repression of political opponents without abiding by rule of law procedures; these include single-party state, and cult of personality.

With this kept in mind, I'm not convinced that rulers such as Julius Caesar fully fit that definition. But I'm open to others' thoughts on the exact definition. Sway me~

[PhoenixWhite]

I admit that at that description none other than Maximillian Robespierre or Napoleon himself came to mind as options I'd pick myself. I mean, they were rather exceptional dictators if you look at it that way.

Ok peoples, OOC is up though I'm still putting together the character sheet.

Here you go.
