So long as you surrender the power to truly decide how player characters will act.

Kirill Yudin is accepted.

Brooks Moore's manipulating voice, no matter how downplayed, is essentially mind control.

Time manipulation and mind control are my most loathed superpowers in roleplays, the latter of which moreso because it inherently disobeys a key rule of every roleplay; forbidding god-modding. Even though it is only animals right now, it has the potential to move on to humans. I'm going to say no right now, unless you can convince me by some means.

Awesome! I look forward to seeing how this turns out. I'll start thinking of a post right away.Before I actually start writing however, might I trouble you with a few questions regarding the setting?First of all, roughly how advanced is the current technological level? Is the use of spaceships widespread and accessible?What are they fueled/propelled with? Are there any other currently existing space colonies out there, and if so where?Does the station have a stable artificial gravitational field? How does it work, rotation or some other means? If they exist, do any of the space colonies have an independent political status? Are they civilian based, or more the military/corporate/research types?Are there non-inhabited automated corporate structures in space? Could you describe the elevator vehicle a bit?Sorry for the wall of questions, I just like to make sure that I don't make any mistakes in regards to the setting... My apologies if you answer any of that in the IC post.

No no it's fine. I'm glad someone's curious.

The technology is pretty advanced, even for a "realistically assumed" year of 2182. The presence of "super-mind" heroes and villains before their subjugation allowed for an accelerated development of technology in nearly all fields; though military tech received the brunt of it for obvious reasons. However this surge in speed has since halted, and is now progressing at "human velocities". Commercial, private, and civilian-owned space travel is wide-spread. Advances in medicine allows for a rather unfortunate birth:death rate in the favor of rampant overpopulation. Human beings survive well into 200 years old, thankfully so considering immortality has been achieved but strictly banned. Quantum computing allows for AI, though the viability of rampant AI is impossible given proper programming protocol. Laser beams. Pew pew. Though kinetic weapons are still preferred.

Spaceship propulsion varies, with the more advanced ones utilizing Diametric Drives for yaw and pitch, and quantum vacuum plasma propulsion for forward and reverse movement. Less expensive (read: civilian-owned) use quantum vacuum propulsion alone for all directional movement.

Space colonies extend well into the outer reaches of the solar system, and several interstellar expeditions have been sent off, though none have reached their destination point yet. Mars has been terraformed into one with an atmosphere, though still requires the wearing of breathing apparatuses due to the thinner air outside. Most space colonies orbit around the gas giants, utilizing the minerals found in their rings to fuel expansion.

Graviton manipulation allows for the creation of artificial gravity in space without the need for centrifugal forces.

Politics with space colonies ultimately breaks down into corporations brawling with one another. Most, if not all significantly sized space stations are owned by megacorporations, though some are owned by governments (who cannot afford such large establishments on their own). If you live on a corporate-owned station, you are either
a) A worker for the company or one of its many smaller variants
b) Rich
c) One of the many civilians given an opportunity to live there by way of lottery

Automated space colonies exist generally, again, around the gas giants. They act as AI-controlled mining stations with only a few human hands to fix things that break down.

The elevator proceeds at an angle, with its occupants facing the "back-end" of the elevator. Think of a movie theatre and have the projector screen be on the opposite end of the direction the elevator travels. It contains several dozen padded seats in rows of differing height within the elevator, and there appears to be a stage of sorts at its lowest point, facing the seats like in a college classroom.

Hope that answers your questions.

Alrightie do. Accepted. Seems like we got enough of a crowd, so I'll start on the IC sooner rather than later.

All characters will start out in an angled elevator vehicle, with several dozen seats for each new student. Prior to entering the elevator, each individual had arrived there by way of a space shuttle (yes, it's in space) that seemed inconspicuous. As far as any of you know thus far, nothing seems wrong with the "Academy" from what the staff has explained and how the journey has appeared.

I'll create the first IC post to further describe it, and after that you guys are free to post.

I like how everyone took after MrShoe with summarized personality traits instead of the traditional 1/2 paragraph detailed explanation

Personality should be presented as a series of short bullet points, detailing positive qualities and negative qualities.

And rightly so.

Second Academy for Public Dangers - OOC

Everyone that has finished their CS is accepted thus far. I'll give this one more day before starting on the IC.

Second Academy for Public Dangers - OOC

Acceptados.

Second Academy for Public Dangers - OOC

No problem lol. Accepted!

You wake up in bed with the avatar above you

How the fuck even.

What's your "type" physically?

Slim and just-above-average height. I like the types of girls who don't necessarily have the build to appear "tough", but nevertheless look like they could hurt you if they wanted to. To summarize it, really, I guess you could say a mix of "girl next door" and "tomboy".

I also tend to define women's faces into three different categories: cute, beautiful, and sexy. I prefer faces who are a mix of cute and beautiful. Unfathomably long hair is also a plus, but shorter (albeit still long) ponytails are just as good looking.
