Katawa Shoujo RP (school for disabled students)

@Alarieth: Just realized that you rebooted the roleplay and added the no-angst rule; nice call. I wouldn't dare to imagine if this rule wasn't in place.

Katawa Shoujo RP (school for disabled students)

@Alarieth Moved Suna into the Character tab.

Still wondering: At which time of the year does the RP take place?

Appearance : Link
Name/nickname : Suna Kumoshita
Gender : Male
Grade, age : 1st Year, 16
Disability : Narcolepsy

Personality:

Suna is an easygoing and carefree youth. Despite that, he's quite the hard one to faze, and takes everything in stride with an assuring smile on his face. When it comes to a win-loss situation he is fairly pragmatic, although not completely selfish. He loves high places more than monkeys and has a fascination towards aviation.

Treating his condition as something not worth going to Yamaku for, Suna still feels out of place and disconnected with the more impaired of the students, as well as his general circumstances. It may take a while before he could socialize normally with the other students.

Suna is a bit on the short side, and is quite youthful in appearance, perhaps slightly overly so. Bringing either point into the discussion might put him in a bad mood. Has an odd respect towards old people in general. He has a slight weirdness with the caring types, in which he did not want people to trouble themselves over him; this goes double in Yamaku, where he views that other people have bigger worries than doing him a favor.

Background:

Suna was born with the condition. In his early years the disorder went undiagnosed, and his parents dismissed his daytime sleep attacks as part of normal stages of growth. In elementary school, Suna's narcolepsy put him in an academically bad spot because it was miscontrued as sleeping in the class; this led to him disliking schools in general, which leads to a negative loop of bad grades. It was not until the third year of elementary school when a collapse caused by his condition led him into a traffic accident. After two months in the hospital, Suna was discharged, fortunately without any permanent damage. His condition was also diagnosed and explained to his parents and the school administration.

From then he was leading a fairly normal life, with him treating his disorder as a hindering annoyance. He entered middle school, and got along well with the students there despite his condition. The teachers also tolerated his 'sleeping' in class as long as he made up for it with his grades, which he did. Suna gained a newfound appreciation to learning and art, which his condition doesn't completely botch. Secretly worrying that a similar accident might occur, his parents agree that he was to enter Yamaku after he graduated from middle school. He was kept in the dark until a year before his graduation.

Naturally, Suna was dissapointed upon faced with the one-sided decision. He had wanted to go to the same school as his peers, and being clumped in with the 'disabled' dissatisfied him in more ways than one. But his parents was firm in their decision, and thus his life began at the academy.

Additional Info:

• Often spends his free time observing his surrounding. He's taken into drawing and try to replicate what he saw. His skills aren't that good but it's one he's fairly satisfied with.
• Despite having lived a fairly carefree life, Suna has a lot of bad dreams. The doctors said it has something to do with his condition.
• Strong bursts of emotion can trigger his condition and cause sudden weaknesses or complete collapse. Despite his cheery, easygoing exterior he's quite hard to faze.

Sky island based roleplay idea.

Interested. I'm partial to idea 4 but the other three is fine, too.

A.D.2301 The Voyage from Neo-Venezia

Welcome to Aqua

Formerly known as the red planet, Mars, Aqua is a planet whose surface is almost entirely wrapped in water. Thanks to the terraforming efforts made by the entirety of the human race 150 years ago, it has become a wonderful planet where humans can live comfortably. There are several key differences between Aqua and Man-home (formerly known as Earth), one of them being Aqua's solar revolution period, which is twice as long as Man-home's, meaning there are twenty-four months in a year, and each season lasts twice as long. This leisurely slow changing of the seasons, combined with the calm oceans of Aqua, made it into a popular destination for those seeking respite from their usual busyness.

Upon this planet is a city constructed upon a port, as if celebrating the harmony between humans and the water-laden planet, it is modeled after a certain watery city in Italy, Venice. Constructed upon water and a small piece of land surrounded by the Neo-Adriatic sea, Neo-Venezia is the city's name. Within this city, many seemingly coincidental, yet oddly comforting, encounters has happened.

And it will continue to happen.

Roles

There are four major occupations that are associated with the classical elements of Fire, Water, Earth and Wind. Each of them has a place within Neo-Venezia and Aqua, and are inseparable parts that aid in everyone's daily lives.

Salamanders

Representing fire, Salamanders are devoted to their duty of controlling the weather and the atmosphere, protecting people from the naturally harsh conditions of Aqua, and emulating the familiar four-season cycle of Man-home. They protect the meteorological balance from a vast array of weather control stations, floating high in the sky. The station that floats above Neo-Venezia in particular is named Ukijima.

Undines

An exclusively female occupation unique to the canals of Neo-Venezia, Undines serve as tour guides of Neo-Venezia. After leaving their gloves behind, a sign of expertise, an Undine is practically tied to the city with a red thread. From the famous San Marco Square to an obscure alley where wisteria blooms early, nobody knows Neo-Venezia's layout better than an Undine. Navigating their gondolas, Undines discover the wonders of the city as they row, famed or hidden, new or old, and shares it with those who rode upon their gondola.

Gnomes

Living closer to Aqua's heart than anyone else, Gnomes maintain the gravity at 1G, by manipulating the so-called 'Gravity Stones', an enigmatic material of immense weight, regulated at high speeds through channels of pipes that make a spherical cage around Aqua's core. Those short-statured people live underground, and to many, are as enigmatic as the stones they control.

Sylphs

Sylphs ride the wind at high speeds in their airbike, and has the function of a mailman. Sylphs are capable of delivering items through great distances, and are very fond of the sky.

The Roleplay

Summary

You are a trainee in of one of the four unique occupations in Neo-Venezia. This might be your very first day in the job, and you just arrived on Neo-Venezia from some other place. Or maybe, you're already used to it, born and raised in the tourist city. As you live, work, and sleep, the unexpected, and wonderful encounters Neo-Venezia has to offer will become the color of this roleplay.

Yes, this is a slice-of-life roleplay. The ultimate stopping point of the roleplay is, of course, the moment your character matures into an acknowledged professional in their jobs (a Prima Undine, a fully concerted Gnome, etc...).

To enrich the roleplay experience, participants have free reign to create named, recurring secondary characters to support their main character (the trainee) as well as nondescript characters, all within reason. My participation as the GM will be limited to shifting the time of the day, skipping to important events, providing information on the setting, and resolving OOC conflicts that may occur.

WIP

Thus what remains on the to-do list are:

• Character sheet template and example
• Post requirements
• RP progression

Dream Network - OOC

I misread that as one day ago. I guess that's my cue to just sleep already.

Dream Network - OOC

Interested, the concept seems solid, but can you elaborate more on the setting itself? What kind of setting are you going to place our characters in? What sort of atmosphere are you aiming for?

Arboreal

Interested. I'll probably take the Panther Chameleons. They have a fairly lonely and small society, but are renowned as excellent hunters.
