aaand we're off!

Lion Turtle Bending School

Day 0:

It was the end of a warm day and the sun would set within the next hour. Many young people had gathered in the main hall of the school for the welcoming speech and dinner. The air was filled with the conversations of reuniting friends that hadn't seen each other all summer and first years that shyly introduced themselves to one another and asked questions about where to go. The latter were gathered and instructed by Master Shang Gua about where to sit and how to behave. "You sit down and be quiet. And don't speak when the headmaster speaks! I'm keeping an eye on you!" He said in his stern and squeaky voice. "Especially you!" He threatened the kid that looked the most harmless and frightened.
A voice of honey interrupted him. "Master Shang, please don't scare our students away before we ever get the chance to teach them something."
"That's Master Gua to you Miss Leanara Blackwater! And these kids are going to be nothing but trouble if we don't keep them under control!"
He leaned toward her and hissed softly: "we've already been too soft on the kids from last year, and look where that took us!"
Miss Lea could recall a prank the students pulled on Master Gua, but she doubted if that was because he was too soft. Rather the opposite.

"He doesn't mean it that way" She said to the students as warm as she could, trying to comfort them a bit. "Welcome to Lion Turtle Bending School. I'm Miss Lea" She said with her widest smile and a subtle wink after she had sent Master Gua away with the message that the Headmaster was looking for him. Which ofcourse, she had made up to lure him away from the children. "I hope Master Shang didn't give you the wrong impression. We're not all like that here. Why don't you come sit here with me?" She continued and pointed at the nearest empty table. "Headmaster Saigei is about to begin his welcoming speach"

Teachers were lining up in front of the room and an old man with white beard politely asked for silence. The large hall went silent in an instant.

"Welcome everyone at the beginning of yet another year here at Lion Turtle Bending School." Headmaster Saigei spoke with his usual, slightly hoarse voice. "I'm happy to see that so many new and familiar faces will be joining us again this year. As for the first years: most of you arrived today, so you haven't had the chance to settle down yet. After the welcoming ceremony, Master Kuruk and Miss Finnalock will show you to the boys and girls dormitories respectively." He gestured to the duo on his left to make clear whom he was speaking about and he pauzed for a moment.

Even though he truly felt happy and proud about starting the year again with so many ambitious students, he was also worried about their safety since the attacks on the harbor this summer. He still could see the remains of the buildings there, crystal clear before his mind's eye. He cleared his throat to dismiss the memory and continued: "Also new this year is the pro-bending arena we raised in the pond in front of the school. You will be able to sign up as a team and compete in the schooltournament."

The list of anouncements went on. New teachers, old teachers, rules, where to find schedules. Nothing too important.

"And now it's time to eat." He ended his welcoming speach. Plates were brought to the table with all kinds of delicious smelling foods.
Now the students would have some time to eat, chat and mingle.

Tomorrow, classes would start.

Lion Turtle Bending School

Welcome all!

Lion Turtle Bending School

Good to see some interest:)

To ElffenBrofis, Sylvaki and Barioth, your characters are accepted!
Riprofsouls, I'm gonna need a complete CS from you if you want in. You can figure out the bio In Character, but the rest I need beforehand.

Would you all be so kind to copy your CS's to the OOC? then we will have them all together.
I'm going to wait just a little longer to see if there's more interest.

Lion Turtle Bending School

OOC

Korra has left this life and another Avatar is born into this world. An earthbender this time. But that has very little to do with our story.
Because you will be quite far away from the hectic world of war and politics. You are sheltered in the much smaller world that is Turtle Lion Bending School. In a remote and quite idyllic environment the building has been crafted by wise and noble people, benders and non-benders alike, to help create a balanced future.

This is where you will be taking classes.

classes

In the mornings you will have mixed classes, in the afternoon you will be training with the students of your element. The houses are Earth, Fire, Air, Water, Pen and Sword.
One day per week you will be cooking, hunting, foraging, farming, fishing, cleaning or repairing/building for the school, as the school is also a self-sufficient community.

Morning classes can be:
-Animals
-Spirits
-People
-History
-Crafts
-Martial Arts
-Writing & Literature
-Diplomacy
-Chi & Chakras

I'm open to suggestions for other classes.

The first years will get every class. The years after will have specialisations and only do some of these classes.

Here's an examle schedule for a first year student.

Monday: Writing Chi & Chakras Waterbending
Tuesday: Animals Martial Arts Waterbending
Wednesday: History Spirits Waterbending
Thursday: Diplomacy Crafts Waterbending
Friday: Hunting

area

In a large forest, stands a white building.

To the east is the sea, to the north there's forests and mountains, to the west there is forest and a lake and to the south there are plains.

story

The story will be based around the school and the activities there. With mostly character driven storylines that can be set up around classes, activities or events that happen in and around the school. Eventually we might find our characters involved in larger issues.

CS

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance:
Bending: (water/earth/fire/air/nonbender)
(There will be no lightening-, blood-, metalbending or other too epic bending yet. If you want something different, you're free to be creative and go for smaller specialisations like sandbending, that are still based on one of the basic elements.)
Year: (first/second/third/teacher)
personality:
Short Bio: (how did you end up here?)
other: (a non-bender could be aspiring to be an epic swordfighter for instance)

school building

The School looks somewhat like a temple, with some separate smaller buildings around it. There's a pond in front of the school, not unlike a swimming pool, with a little plateau in the middle that serves as a pro-bending arena. Around the school lay different kinds of terrain that suit the classes that are given there.
Inside of the school is the main hall were the meals and the parties take place. In the west wing are the seperate boys and girls dormitories.

(note: there is more than one class per year, but for the sake of interaction and keeping things simple, every character of the same year, is in the same class and therefore has the same schedule)

Second year:
The 2nd year schedule is slightly more complex as the specialization begins. You choose 4 of 8 classes for this year. Next to that, second years are asked -two at a time- to tutor the first years with their chores. So every now and then their individual schedules vary.

• Monday: - - Bending

• Thursday - Hunting/Fishing/Maintenance/Building
• Friday - - Bending

Third year:

after school activities

Morning Yoga: Every Morning before breakfast there is an optional yoga class to get you extra fresh for the day and loosen up your chakras by Rammi Sevvun. -no need to sign up or out. Every morning you can decide if you're up for it. Might also help for your flexibility in combat.
Pro-bending practice: after classes you're free to train in the arena with your coach. Each team consists of four benders -since the return of airbenders- not necessarily all different bending types. Your coach can be any willing teacher. Near the end of the year, there will be a school tournament.
Pai Sho Club: Every tuesday after classes, headmaster Saigei himself is teaching the noble game of pai sho to any willing player. There will be tea.

other activities/events

*Trip to town
*Pro-bending tournament
*Quests (one of the ways of the school to prepare students for life's problems and sometimes, to generate some income)
*Dance
*Testweek

ideas are welcome
