Sorry for the delay in getting the OOC up. I had some stuff come up IRL which included losing a pet that has been in my life for the past 16 years.

The OOC will not be up tonight, as I will be finalizing some updates to the timeline to involve aliens and such as well as finalize the format for the character sheet, but it will be up tomorrow at some point. I will also post a link to the discord channel tomorrow too (sorry, but I don't want to get overwhelmed with messages tonight before getting the OOC up) as part of the main post.

I'm not tagging everyone that has spoken up since my last update - but yes, you all are welcome to join.

@Spin The Wheel - regarding the Olympics, yes - metahumans are not allowed to compete. The science behind determining who can and cannot use magic is still being debated (multiple countries have been working on such genome tracking, but argue which method is most accurate) and not fully explored. Each country requires their athletes to submit to genetic testing before competing, but the organization doesn't have a standard test they use and thus expect each nation to report accurately. This does not actually prevent cheating by use of metahumans with physically amplifying magic, but the penalties are severe for countries caught using metahumans - including exclusion from remaining and a number of future games as well as loss of medals accumulated to that point.

@Daxam - about multiple magics - yes, multiple magics are possible. However, each magic type has their own subcategories. So it would be more that one learns all of a particular magic type and maybe a subcategory of another or two, or they learn a few subcategory specialties. It's easier learning magics that compliment each other, and metahumans find they are stronger if they focus on only a handful rather than trying to learn from each category.

@Perse Awesome. All are welcome.

Update for all though - my timetable for getting the OOC up has needed to be pushed back. I hope to get it up later this weekend, but I haven't had the time to get it together yet.

I will be updating the information on this page either tonight or tomorrow, but just some quick notes for anyone that cares to read them without digging through the long version:

This school takes international students, so students can be from anywhere in the world.

This school will be taking interdimensional and extraterrestrial students. They will be overseen by this universe's version of the Men In Black - which will be based on a mix of pop culture and real life lore - and who work out of the LVA. Unless desired otherwise, non-terrestrial students will be housed in the gender neutral dorms.

Age range for terrestrial metahumans, for those that aren't familiar with US school ages, are going to be 12-19.

If you're looking to play something outside of that age range - PM me.

Anyone looking to play a non-terrestrial character should PM me with information on what their race can do. We're pretty lenient with stuff, but it's more to get race characteristics kinda set in stone because I will admit I don't like things sprung on me for race abilities once an RP has started. If there's something you come up with after the RP starts to add to a non-terrestrial race, just PM me and we'll figure out if it will be too much to add or not.

And last, but not least, once I have finished getting information updated in the initial post here, I will be working on getting an OOC started as well as a discord. Joining the discord is optional. It's obviously the easiest way to get to know each other and get my attention (as I run the app on my phone and get notifications from it) but any information that everyone needs to know will get posted in the OOC as well.

Sorry for being quiet for a bit. RL comes first tho. I'm trying to get a better mix back into my life of how often I get on here, so don't get discouraged if I don't get on for a day or three to respond.

Anyways...

@Hyyde322 Everyone is allowed 2 characters. I will outline more about character creation when I get a chance to update/create the OOC.

@Martian I'll be honest to say I only know who one of those characters are, but yes - this would be a possibility. If you come up with more stuff and discuss it in private, and/or want to toss some ideas at the wall to see what sticks for you, you can feel free to PM me and I will eventually respond.

Anepool Academy for the Gifted

@Phi Chisym ah, yes there will be more information forth coming regarding the school itself and building off some glossed over concepts and such.

I'll tag all that posted interest thus far when I add more info.

@Dead Cruiser PM me and @Gittarackur with what you have in mind and I'll be able to give more information/way we can work that in - that's easiest for me right now. If you could include basic info in the race would be helpful too.

I'll add the info publicly on how extraterrestrials and other worldly beings attendung the school will work, and officially add it into the basic info dump when I get a chance to get on my computer on Monday.

Pokémon: There and Back Again

Faye Wrexlyn

Appearance:

Height: 5’6
Typical Clothing: Pants or shorts, tank top or short sleeve shirt under a hoodie, and sneakers or hiking boots (depending on if in the city or going through the woods)
Rarely wears makeup or jewelry, but generally wears a sports cap with her hair in a ponytail through the back part.

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Personality: Spunky is one of the more commonly used terms to describe her, followed closely by sassy and resourceful. She strives to push ahead even if the road is tough and dangerous, trying to not let obstacles stand in her way. Faye tries to be level headed, but doesn’t back down from threats, and is willing to fight for what is right and what she believes in. This has gotten her in trouble more than once in school, stepping in and fighting kids that were bullying others; it was a habit she couldn’t break though. She does have a bit of a competitive side, and is usually up to see who is better at certain tasks; the only way to improve is to see where your failings are, after all. While she does have a tendency to tease people and be pestersome, she always means it in good fun and doesn’t usually mean for it to be in offense (though that’s not to say she doesn’t actually enjoy trying to get a rise out of people she doesn’t like); she will apologize for actions if she realizes it’s hurt someone’s feelings.

Inquisitive, she never shies away from looking for answers to questions and has been known to spend hours buried in books diving into the proverbial rabbithole her curiosity has led her. She has little issue with getting dirty, exerting however much effort is needed to get to where she wants/needs to go, and occasionally has “wandered” past barriers when it meant getting to what she wanted. She doesn’t necessarily mean to break the law - she does respect laws are there for a reason - but the thought of “I’ll only be inside that barrier for a minute” gets the better of her impulse control at times; this only happens when she’s looking for the perfect angle or a better view for a picture. Faye enjoys exploring more than just books, and often goes on long hikes and extended camping trips. She enjoys photography and wilderness exploration, just as comfortable mapping her way through forests as she is navigating her way through city streets. She often dreams about becoming a famous photographer, and submits pictures she takes for publication.

Hometown: King’s Cross

Background: Although she remembers only bits and pieces of her childhood under Cipher control, it had lasting effects on her family. What she remembers from her youth was that her mother was away a lot, and when she was home she had fierce, powerful pokemon partners with her. Mom didn’t talk about what she did, but Dad said she had to do stuff she didn’t want to talk about to keep them safe. When Cipher was defeated, Mom came home without her pokemon. Dad became the main support for the family as a pokedoc, while Mom withdrew and went through a long bout of depression; mention of Cipher or their activity would generally trigger further depressive episodes.

It wasn’t until Faye was 8 that she finally got meaningful time with her mother that wasn’t just being careful about what she said or did to keep from setting Mom into an agitated state. Dad took them on a retreat to Fenris City, a temporary transfer to a calmer location where he could both treat pokemon and give Mom a quiet, peaceful place to relax away from the more bustling city of King’s Cross. Between hikes and hot springs and the general tranquility helped give Mom new direction and sparked an interest in photography for Faye herself. After a year living in the town, it seemed to help draw her mother out of the slump and Mom reinvigorated an early passion of painting. Moving back to King’s Cross was a welcome return to normal for Faye, but a better normal with a calm and decent life with her parents.

While Faye grew up not really knowing much of what her mother may have done, she knew her mother didn’t take her actions lightly and didn’t want to let evil enterprises such as Cipher gain or keep power elsewhere. Knowing more about what Cipher did to gain control and how they kept it is a topic of interest to her, as the best way to prevent people like them from happening again you must look to those that had been successful in the past. It also sparked an interest in becoming a pokemon trainer and hopefully becoming strong like the Champion that helped save Evig and those that lived there.

Kind of Pokémon you like: Appearances are everything. There’s no proper way to quantify exactly what makes me like a pokemon as there’s no specific type I prefer, just a visual preference to start and then I figure out if I like them from there.

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other: Aspires to be a famous photographer.
Secretly wants to be a pokemon champion.
Really good at navigating with map and compass, researching, and photography.
Terrible at staying on task, and following someone else’s lead (and sometimes with following directions she disagrees with).
Fears failure, and deep oceans.
Can't stop being sarcastic to save his or her own life; she may unintentionally end up antagonizing fights just being sassy and backtalking.

Random oddities: She has a tendency to hum quietly to herself when studying/researching or doing idle tasks like cooking or dishes.
Faye plays with her hair when deep in thought (twirls it) or stressed and trying to calm down (petting it/lightly pulling/running her fingers through it).

Items: 1x Potion; camping backpack with a cold weather sleeping bag with a sleeping pad added to it, waterproof canvas tarp, 50 ft of rope, mess kit, extra clothes, a week of food (granola, jerky, a few canned soup, pokemon food for Sage, etc), water purification kit and canteen, compass and maps of the region, magnesium fire starter, multi-tool knife, and a camping saw.

Pokédollars: 500p.

Awesome, @Phi Chisym. Any questions in particular or just interested in learning more in general?

Anepool Academy for the Gifted

@LadyAnnaLee Of course you're welcome here! ❤ I definitely would love to see you be part of this.

@Blazion No worries, there's still plenty of time to think on it. If you have any questions that might help you think up ideas, feel free to ask 'em.

Anepool Academy for the Gifted

Great to hear even tentative interest @Crimson Flame

@Martian I havent done one in a while either so this helps fill that itch.

If you think of any questions, feel free to ask and either I or Gittarackur will do our best to answer them.
