Dictator High

Description

Dictator High is an exclusive all-boys high school for cloned dictators. They not only focus on academics but also on instilling leadership traits and preparing boys to be ready for the responsibilities authoritarian rule demands.

Mission Statement

Therefore, Dictator High respects the individual needs of children; fosters a caring and creative environment; and emphasizes the social, emotional, physical, intellectual development of each child.

General Information

Dictator High believes in providing a well rounded education for it's students. The year is split into a fall and spring semester. Each semester has a required number and type of courses to be taken:

• 2 core curriculum (math, science, and language)
• 3 specialized classes per semester (examples listed)

• Re-visioning History
• Propaganda and You
• Scapegoating 101

• 1 extracurricular per semester (art, music, or sports)

School Life

Out of Character Information

• Player-characters will be high school aged boys, aged 13-18.

• There is a nearby all-girls school for joint affairs, such as dances, theater productions, and the like.
• Gandhi is the principal. He just is, don't worry about it.
• Hitler was expelled after the last spring semester. It's rumored that he failed an art class, caused a ruckus, and ran away to join the boy scouts. He hasn't been heard from since.

Posting and Other Guidelines

• I expect proper spelling and grammar, but understand that typos occur.
• Post length should be one solid paragraph at a minimum - 5 sentences in the least. More is welcome, no need to write novellas though.
• This is meant to be humorous (sometimes darkly so), but keep in mind that randomlol does not equal hilarious.

• Post character sheets in the OOC first, and toss them into the character tab once approved.

It's the start of the Fall Semester. The Big Game is coming up as well as the Welcome To School Dance. The pressure is already on, and the social hierarchy struggle is real. Where do you stand?

Dictator High

So I only recently joined this site (as is probably evident through my post count) and this interest check totally caught my eye.
The only question I have is, is there a limit as to how far back can the dictators go? Would Julius Caesar, for example, be a valid choice for a clone?

Other than that, definitely interested to get involved with this super-duper-evil-dictator-high-school roleplay!

@The Sparrow

Welcome to RPG, I hope you enjoy your time here. ^.^

I can see the appeal of bringing in characters like Julius Caesar, but I do not see them fitting the role precisely.

I'm looking at, in general, for more modern applications of "dictator." In general, a term used to describe a leader who holds and/or abuses an extraordinary amount of personal power, especially the power to make laws without effective restraint by a legislative assembly. This would be characterized by some of the following traits: suspension of elections and of civil liberties; proclamation of a state of emergency; rule by decree; repression of political opponents without abiding by rule of law procedures; these include single-party state, and cult of personality.

With this kept in mind, I'm not convinced that rulers such as Julius Caesar fully fit that definition. But I'm open to others' thoughts on the exact definition. Sway me~

Dictator High

Dear god.

I think I'll just sit by and...and...watch this. Maybe work up the effort to pull off a Dictator myself, but oh my god this sounds like an absolutely wonderful trainwreck of hilarity and controversial humor waiting to happen.

@PhoenixWhite

That's the goal!

Dictator High

Well I just subscribed to this. I'd join, but I'm already drowning in RP's, y'know? If I did join, I kinda wanna do putin. But I don't really 'know putin' yet, y'know?

Edit: Ah wait putin didn't die before the 90's.

fuck.

@LHG100

You're welcome to observe, but unless there is some KGB conspiracy with a Putin double, he's still kicking.

There aren't rally any female dictators, so I'm assuming that all characters are to be men? The girls school would have clones of evil/crazy woman rulers from history??

@Emma

No, none that I can think of who would really classify as dictators. The girls school isn't really a focus but was a reminder that yes, there will be NPC-ish females around if needed. The girls school is focused on raising attractive women of adequate knowledge, groomed to complement the boys at Dictator High during adolescence and beyond.

Urban Apocalypse TV

Name:
Betty Smith

Age:
72

Appearance:
She looks like grandma - the one you love - with a ready smile and sage advice just brimming beneath her wrinkled lips. White hair in a carefully maintained perm. She's a respectable 5'6" and 140lbs, some of which is still muscle that hasn't atrophied with age. On TV, she looks out of place, in her slip-on slippers and pink floral housecoat. Beneath that are a slew of tattoos, ranging from the mundane to the lewd. Most noticeable is the half sleeve of grotesque demon devouring the world.

Equipment:

• Machine gun scooter - Grandma's mobility scooter lost the basket and added a mounted machine gun, the scooter itself has been nicely reinforced and souped up to go faster than the average 10 mph.
• SP 2009
• Buttercup - a rottweiler/pit bull mix with a mean temperament

Bio:
Betty was born and raised Baltimore. She's lived across the street from the B&O Railroad Museum since her first baby, and now that the cameras have come to town, she has her eye on taking the complex. Her kids have had many kids of their own, many of whom had less than legal occupations prior to Malleus setting up shop. She's maintained a good relationship with many of her "babies" and can rely on them to bring some extra protection into play. If she likes you, she'll still make you a nice home-cooked meal. Otherwise, you're lucky if it's Buttercup who greets you, and not the the SIG or the machine gun scooter.

Name:
Victor Michaels, commonly known as "Vic"

Age:
34

Appearance:
An athletic black man, Vic is tall, and muscular, standing at 6'2" and weighing in at about 230lbs. His hair is kept buzzed, with a neatly trimmed goatee. He has no distinguishing marks - tattoos or otherwise. He often wears his jersey, and most would find it hard to not recognize the man, given his notoriety even before hell broke loose in Baltimore.

Equipment: Vic is one of the bigger names Malleus signed on to the show. As such, he often "finds" the more fun equipment.

• Football bombs (3)
• 1 Handheld Drone equipped with tear gas canister
• KA-BAR 2486
• KA-BAR Big Brother
• Pack of fighting dogs: Vic's own breeding projects that were brought to Baltimore with him, 6 males and 2 females all between 2-3 years and through more than their fair share of fights. They're nasty creatures, abused and trained to be vicious.

Bio:
Vic was the starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills for three years. The Bills had yet to get to the playoffs with Vic, but things had been looking up for the beleaguered team and city. A string of scandals rocked Vic's life and the team. While he had presented himself as a somewhat aloof character, the truth was he was a simmering psychopath beneath the surface. The first scandal to break was that of a rather extensive dog fighting ring that he managed. Then, cameras at a hotel in Niagara Falls, Canada, caught him beating his fiancee unconscious. Rumors of a prostitution ring also emerged but no supporting evidence made it's way to the public or court system.

He was given a one season suspension and received 5 years probation in court for the domestic assault. He married his fiancee six months later. One year ago, he signed a deal with the Baltimore Ravens, second string, but he was back in the game and planning his comeback when financial disaster struck and he found himself having to declare bankruptcy. Malleus approached him not long after and Vic accepted without hesitation.

He's taken up shop in the Baltimore Aquarium, though how long he can hold out there is anybody's guess. Tune in next week to find out!

Cool man, cool.

Here's my interest.

Dictator High

So many dictators to choose from, so little time to do them all justice.

And perhaps, to clear out the elephant in the room, Hitler is off limits.

Why, you ask? Well he attended dictator high the previous year of classes before our story starts. However, it seems he failed an art class and rather than take a different extracurricular he caused a fuss and joined the boy scouts instead. He has since been expelled in his absence.
