Alma Mater Maximus

[TheHangedMan]

In Character Premise

In this world, everyone is unique (of course, that raises the argument that if everyone is unique, then no one is, but that's for another time . . .) and the uniqueness of every person is usually attributed to one thing: talent. No matter how well one argues, it is a fact that everyone possess a innate sense of excellence at a particular field. For some, in could be something relatively normal, like sports or mathematics; for others, it may be more specialized. All that matters is that you and everyone around you is indeed good at something. There comes a point in time where those talents have a chance to be nurtured and enhanced. This could happen at the gym, or somewhere online, where you find the one place your talent truly shines. Sometimes, this place is a highly sophisticated place that takes some searching to find, but sometimes, it could also be a highly normal place, like school for example. At school, there are many chances for talent to develop. Sportsmen join varsities and creativity is nurtured in similarly artistic societies. Here, you could cultivate the talent you possess to extraordinary levels! Why, you may even bend the laws of physics one day! Haha, of course, that's going a bit to far . . . or is it?

There is a certain school that for some reason or another, gifts all the students under its building with abilities far beyond normal logic. The teachers are of course, unaware of this, and the students themselves have made it a point to keep them uninvolved. All major activity is done by night, and powers are not to be used during the day - those are the two most ironclad rules among the countless other unspoken ones. This certain school has been divided into five factions (six, if you count those unaffiliated with any faction) based upon the rulers of the school: five students who through effort or luck have become the most influential and powerful personalities on campus. Everyone has their own agenda, and the school itself is rife with mysteries and unsolved puzzles - most especially the recently discovered underground entrance that no one has yet dared to open.

What happens next is up to you . . .

[Dirty Dan]

Looks interesting. I'd be interested in an over-all cool-headed, lonerish guy that has psychic-related abilities;; Telekinesis, enhanced intelligence, and possibly telepathy.

[TheHangedMan]

@Dirty Dan Sounds good. It's easy to picture intelligence = psychic powers. Although a good number of the NPC students have abilities like that. In any case, the more creative you are, the more singular your ability will be!

[Tancuras]

I'm down.

[Oni_]

Interested. Seems like a school RP gone right.

[TheHangedMan]

Just one or two more people and I'll get the OP up :)

[ethanjory]

Sure, as long as the student council doesn't arrest me and forces me to engage in hard labor.

[Mr_pink]

Interested
