Hello, hello.

I'm HylianRose, or Rose for short. (sometimes HR, Roze, Hylian, Hylioo, etc.)

I have tried this RP a few times and it usually dies but I really enjoy the idea and would like to give it another shot. However, I would like to get RPers that are also willing to help develop and build the world with me. A lot of it is already fleshed out and many of the final decisions will be made by me, but I need RPers that are willing and able to step up and take lead should they need to. (I'm in college and very nearly busy 24/7, so I need a capable co-GM.)

Now, for the idea...






The school, Saint Valerius Academy is a year-round academy that's located in a relatively remote place in Northern Europe, with the closest civilization being the town nearly twenty miles distant. The academy proper is atop a small hill in a valley, surrounded by lush, heavy forest. Its classes are for a high-school only, with college level classes available for the more advanced students. Dorms are provided on-site, and located away from the main school buildings. With each advancing grade level, students are awarded with more freedom(Both in selecting classes and outside of school hours.) One day(Sunday) is given as a relaxation day each week, and the students are allowed off the premises to go to the village.

The Nobles are sons and daughters of the very, very rich, making this a school that's very exclusive and almost impossibly(For an average person)expensive to afford. In return, the school promises to create an exceptionally safe(Via both the highly-trained and paid guards, and the Knights) learning environment that promotes interaction and skills that such future captains of industry would need. While all the classes are available to everyone, the Nobles will only get Nobles as classmates, and so on(The Knights may, in fact, sit in on these classes).

The Middle Class are usually local children who graduated with exceptionally high grades from their schools, and got a scholarship into the academy. The others that make up the Middle Class are rich(But not the super-rich) who can afford at least some of the school's fees and then the sons and daughters of the faculty and staff.

Knights can be selected from the Middle Class, but more often than not they are transferred into the school for the explicit purpose of being a Knight to a specific noble.




What we need are the fleshing out of select places such as 'the Village', the different dorms as they span out across the property, other school owned facilities including parks, waterfalls, sports fields, etc.

I also need help filling in the Rankings with NPC Knights and Nobles for those that aren't being played by RPers as well as RPing other NPCs such as school personnel. Such as, Deans, President, nurse, and a few select teachers. Ranking works as such, each Knight is assigned a rank based on the skills they show through their years in the academy. When a Knight graduates with their Noble (Who MUST be in the same grade), they are removed from the ranking and everyone moves up, another entering on the bottom at 25. Not many freshmen usually end up on the list as there are well over 25 knights in the school, however exceptions exist. Nobles, and Knight with their Nobles permission, are free to challenge other Nobles' Knights, there in starting a duel. The medical facilities of the school are top notch with the latest technology, even able to reattach limbs and implant hearts should they need to. However, there have been times where Knights have died in these fights. The only reprimand the Knight who kills another Knight gets is a mandatory training (week long) with a particularly strict professor, and are not able to enter another duel until the next year. The philosophy is that if a Knight isn't able to protect himself, he wasn't worth the time protecting their noble. (All Knights are required to sign a waiver.) (Knights are all male.)

There is also the small matter of conflict. I have a knight/noble pair in mind for mild shenanigans, but I need a greater conflict of some sort.

That being said, this RP will not focus much on the classes but will focus mainly on the interactions between the students and teachers outside of classes.

Hmm... I'm sure any other such questions can be asked later on. So ye. :)

This seems very interesting! I would love to join... I'm pretty good with juggling NPC characters with my own fleshed out one... And if you need help with describing places and getting certain stuff figured out, I love doing that. xD

I would hope it would be okay for me to be a Noble when this gets started...

@WhiteStar19 Certainly! I'll create an Etherpad here for us in a bit so we can work on the RP. :D

I'm thinking a rule will be that you have to play both a Noble and a Knight, but I'll figure that out as we go. If you plan on juggling NPCs fairly extensively, I could probably make an exception if you'd rather not play a Knight.

@SouffleGirl123 Yay! Clara! <3

I like it, but I'm not sure about the "all knights must be male" rule. What's up with that?

Well, conflict mostly. However, the rule can be changed if a convincing case can be made for it to be changed. Which, at this point, I think you could easily convince me. It would make sense for such a developed area to be more accepting of things such as gender and race. However, it is also high society which means there are more standards and traditions for the students to follow. All it would take for a strange rule to be set in place would be a family that provides a substantial sum of money to the school to threaten to cut it off unless the rule is set in place. The world isn't going to be nice and fluffy, because nice and fluffy is boring. :P

But again, you could easily convince me to make that one change. Seems like a reasonable request.

So far, we have named the small nearby town, Little Helm, and have decided that dorms shall be named after Kings and Queens.

We also have a map for the basic room of the Freshman Dorms. We still need a map for Sophomores and Juniors and then Seniors and up. Altogether I'm thinking we'll have 1 Freshmen dorm, 1 Sophomore, 1 Junior, and 2 Senior dorms. This be said, all students can live in any of the dorms, but only Freshmen can stay in the freshmen dorm.

We still need NPCs and such. I'm making a master list of things that need doing on our pad and I can post it here as a master list on the OP.

I'm sure I'll think of more things as we get the ball rolling.

@HylianRose

I suggest that the families of the nobles decide on their knight's gender. This leads to most being male, but some being female.

@Jozarin That certainly works for me! :D

@crestfallen Glad to have your interest. :)

@Everyone, sorry for being silent for the past few days. I'll likely be quiet tomorrow too as... drinking and new years and ye. Anyway, there's still a bit that needs to be done but in the interest of getting this RP up and running as soon as possible, I'm going to try and get the bare minimum done asap so I can put up an OP and get stuff rolling and get characters created. So... If you aren't interested in helping that's fine. If you are/were, don't worry. I'll still need your help!

Lots of love and stuff and hugs and ye. ~

Also, for future reference, duels usually look like this,
