[OOC] The Corrigan School for Advanced Learning and Development (A DC School RP)

[Lord Wraith]

If you go to Brown's class you will be put into MacBeth haha, but you're free to attend another class of your choosing.

[Blue Demon]

Yeah. I'm waiting on FacePunch to post before I do too. I'm also thinking of a secondary character.

But I don't know if I should have Kieran have Brown's class like everyone or put him in a different one.

@King Kindred

Kieran can have classes with Mailsi. Since she wont be in Brown's. She leans towards the Sciences rather than the Arts.

[FacePunch]

I'll start writing in roughly an hour.

[Blue Demon]

@FacePunchNo pressure right? :D

[King Kindred]

Science does sound good, but so does the thought of Kieran trying to act. But I think I'll pick sciences. It sounds like something he'd be more interested in despite his love for watching movies and TV shows.

| NAME: |

Raphael Luigi Linden

| ALIAS: |

Crosshair

| AGE: |

17

| ABILITIES/SKILLS/EQUIPMENT: |

Outfit

A black kevlar weave is sewn over a super-dense layer of insulation modeled after a polar bear that is so effective that it renders covered areas nearly invisible to thermal imaging methods. At the same time, his excess body heat is stored in a way that it can be channeled back to him when its needed. Over his heart is a florescant orange emblem consisting of crosshairs. A similar color is used on his utility belt and his bootlaces. Overall his outfit is sleek and functional. It does not shine in many places, save for the metals he carries. He wears a domino mask over his face styled exactly like many others.

Skills

While nowhere near the greatest marksman in the world, he has a level of skill with handguns surpassing ninety-five percent of all other gunowners. Also he has several years of experience of wrestling practice mediated by the public school system. He also has finesse like you wouldn't believe. He can deftly dive, tumble, and dance around an opponent all day long, assuming he isn't wearing his battle suit. He is a practiced traceur and BMX biker.

Weaponry

Keeping one for each hand, a pair of heavily customized pistols are his signature weapons. In an effort to avoid bloodshed, he uses a variety of specialized ammunitions (Rubber, Foam, Concussive, Incendiary, Jamming, etc.). He chooses to keep an intimidating buck knife on his belt in a sheath beside a grappling gun.

Telepathy

Raphael possesses an extraordinarily specialized form of telepathy that many would consider completely useless. He has the ability to look at someone and immediately gain absolute and definitive knowledge of every joke they've ever thought of. This seemingly useless ability for a superhero has actually had a profound effect on his psyche. Because he effectively downloads every joke they ever thought of, not necessarily said, he can sometimes gain surprising insights. Also with the jokes, comes just enough knowledge to understand them if he wouldn't normally.

| LIMITATIONS AND WEAKNESSES: |

Though he would spite you for using it as an excuse for fragility, he is only human. His body suit, because of its density, makes it difficult and somewhat tiresome to move in at times. Also, he has a finite supply of hefty specialized ammunition. His combat skills are far surpassing the average Joe, but not yet on par with a disciple of the bat.

His ability to learn a persons jokes is nowhere near as extensive a form of telepathy as, say, a Martian's. If there is an inside joke, he will understand its hidden meaning. But the vast majority of the jokes he hears teach him virtually nothing and he usually has heard them before. In his own opinion, the ability has mostly become a nuisance.

| SAMPLE POST: |

The arms of the Black Canary twirled like a pinwheel, solidly smacking away every rushed strike Raphael could've dreampt of making. So he bent backwards, dropping all of his weight onto his left arm as he shot his toes at her face. But the Canary swooped below his kick and grabbed his wrist before slinging the teen ten feet to the side.

When his body bounced by the feet of Oliver Queen, the Emerald Archer smirked before scanning the legs wrapped in fishnets. He cocked his head before smirking at the blonde. He took in a breath, exhaling, "F-"

"Funny the Canary should send people flying!" From the floor, it was the Blue Bullet. Ollie's first sidekick not to use a bow.

Oliver had half a mind to kick the teen. He would've added insult to injury, but every time he tried to get a shot in, the boy turned the joke on its creator like some sick weapon.

"Too bad there's not a way to pulverize me where I don't come out looking like a cheetah with all these bruises," Raphael sighed before pushing up off the ground.

"Let's try again," the Black Canary urged him. "After all, what doesn't kill you makes you -"

"Stranger. It could debilitate you for life if it doesn't traumatize you the old fashioned way." With this in mind, he walked back up to the blonde bombshell, hugging the left side of his ribcage to gauge the pain. It wasn't the worst he'd ever felt. But that hardly meant he wanted seconds. He decided to put up with it anyways the moment he made another headstrong rush for the seasoned brawler.

| NOTES: |

-Was formerly known as the Blue Bullet
-Former protege of the Green Arrow
-In his spare time, Raphael paints in a surreal, impressionist inspired style
-He is the proud owner of a bass guitar that he has managed to learn to use as though it were a lead instrument
-I like Cherry Pepsi

I would post but still waiting for artifact....

@King Kindred

Well, you can have more than one class.

Speaking of, @Lord Wraith what sort of schedules do these kids have?
A & B blocks (6-8 courses
or
6 - 8 classes a day?
Do they have rotating schedules?
Will there be a music variation option?

[Lord Wraith]

@Blue Demon I was really thinking about four courses per day. Each course taking up about an hour and a half of the day. Every 7 weeks these courses change.

[Blue Demon]

So something like an A/B schedule?
You have 8 classes total, but only go to 4 each day.
EX:
C1, C2, C3, and C4 are A days
C5, C6, C7, and C8 are B days

Week one is A/B/A/B/A
Weeks two is B/A/B/A/B
*Repeat etc

Like that?

Or just literally only 4 classes a semester/every 7 weeks?

[Lord Wraith]

@Blue Demon

I was thinking that, more like a college schedule in some ways.

@Lord Wraith

Hahaha. What college were you going to?

I was taking 6 classes any given semester. Sometimes 7.

I got gypped!

[Tyler]

In what twisted world do you change lessons every seven weeks?

When I was at school, we studied all subjects, all year.

[Blue Demon]

@Tyler

In high school we changed 2-3 times a year (depending on what school I was currently at. I moved a lot).

[Lord Wraith]

@Tyler

Business College.

My highschool only did four courses a day for a semester and then changed to a new course load after that. As for college, my program has a max of maybe six courses per term, but that's including General Education course which are generally a write off. I am a special situation personally as I previously attended a university before dropping out so I had credits to transfer allowing me to reduce my course load.

[Blue Demon]

Well, if we're changing our courses every 7 weeks. Are we on our first or second set then? (IDK if school started August or September)

[Weird Tales]

@Lord Wraith finished Mars' CS

[Heathen]

For us, at least for most people in the states, we took the same class all year round in high school unless a certain class was only one semester.

In college you took maybe 5 classes and took 3 of them say Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and the other 2 Tuesday and Thursday. And you pretty much change classes each semester.

I feel like this is how it is most places.

[King Kindred]

I had the block schedule in my high school. Four classes each semester. Switched off at the end of the semester unless we had a year long AP class.

[Blue Demon]

Well, this is what I've got so far. Not sure which 4 Mailsi will have for the current set.
