Escapism Academy - A Surreal High-School RP (Co-GMed by Sam G, Revolverwolf and Sky14Kemea) (closed)

[Safe in the Dark]

Spoiler: Sheet/Sonya Ravenhall

Name: Sonya Ravenhall

Nickname: Darkly

Age: 15

Appearance: Sonya hyas long dark black-purple hair, and her eyes are a greyish-lavender color, she's about 5'8, and she's rather slender, with fair complexion, she is usually wearing a stereotypical school uniform with a red ribbon on it.

Spoiler: Kinda like this

Club: Occult Club

Biography: Sonya's father abandoned her, her mother and her younger sister when she was young, and her mother has always paid her very little attention but she and her sister were always close, as such she has developed into a very shy, occaisonally depressed and reclusive person, prefering the company of her hobbies, and the spirits she sometimes speaks to instead of actual people. She hates crowds and wide open spaces, and she tries to hide what she's really feeling. She was sent to the academy out of her own choice and she was naturally drawn to the occult club. She has been known to snap from time to time, and if she opens up to someone and trusts them she can get clingy or obsessive over them.

Primary Power: Unlimited Saw Works: She can generate buzz saws out of mid air and can fire them at will, She can also create a magical bone saw at will and can use that as a melee weapon. Creating the saws takes away energy, creating the large saw swallows up a large sum of energy, If she's too tired she can't generate anything.

Secondary Power: The Haunting Hour: Sonya Conjours up entities and spirits to fight for her and can even have some possess her for some added fun, when possessed she becomes more resistant to pain, gains slight poltergeist like abilities and can pass through walls and most physical attacks(But magic and energy based attacks cannot be phased through), but when the possession is over she is sent into narcoleptic sleep like state.

Other information: Enjoys gaming, anime and music may be prone to aiding those clubs, she also dislikes sports and cheerleading due to her somewhat anti social tendencies. She also enjoys reading and sewing. And she can't use both her powers at once, it's either or.

Fix'd

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Spoiler: My audition

Lulu heard the sound of his alarm go off, it was the instantly recognizable Otherworld from Final Fantasy X. He smiled at the sound of the familiar theme and rubbed his head. He pulled his covers off and jumped out of his bed, quickly heading into the shower. After a ten minute soak he got changed into his clothes, he pulled his jeans up, put his soft white shirt on and grabbed his trenchcoat hitting the top of his alarm clock as he walked out of his room and jumped down the stairs his hand dragging across the wall. He hit the wooden floor and landed to a roll hitting his legs onto the wall. He stayed their for a second contemplating what he had just done, his legs hanging in the air. He let out a quiet 'ouch' before sliding down so his legs were on the floor. He rolled sidewards so his stomach was on the floor and pushed himself upwards before heading into the kitchen and grabbing a cereal bar before running to the front door picking up his Sonata Arctica backpack on the way out. He looked to at the sun, it was about seven AM which was the usual time for him to get up. He yawned as he always did at this point before walking to the school.

After about half an hour he was there. He looked at the bell tower and smiled faintly, it was to be his hang, his base of operations where he would view everything in the school. Curved crystal spikes grew out of his boots and he began walking up the side of the school to the bell tower where he sat looking down at the school and the area around it with one foot hanging of the edge and the other with its knee by the side of his face. He looked at the bell, admiring it for a second and nodded. He figured if things went bad he could always
retreat up here and use his soundwaves on the bell, possibly amplifying their power. Nah, that would probably end up bursting a few eardrums and he didn't fancy spending any part of his life in jail. He yawned and placed both his legs on the side and lay down, waiting for school to start for a new year. "This is gonna be a rad year man, I can tell already..." he muttered to himself. He closed his eyes and began resting, looking forward to the days to come and the battles that would occur every weekend.

He liked fighting, as long as it was for sport. He hated bullies and those who picked on people. God he loved beating them up. He thought of the Jocks, his sworn enemies who he vowed to fight when he was but ten years old. He chuckled at the old memories from times gone by, oh how cute and innocent he had been back then. Come to think of it... It was only five years ago. Wow, he was only fifteen and was feeling nostalgic. That couldn't be healthy...

He was woken some time later by the sound of others arriving, he looked down at them and waved. They looked up at him seemingly puzzled as to how he got up there. He grew crystals at his right arm and jumped off, scraping them down the side to slow his fall. He then landed and still feeling some force he rolled to make the fall less hurtful, this time it worked as there was nothing in the way, after the roll he quickly stood to his feet and bowed. "Thank you ladies and gentleman, that was a grand performance by the one... The only... LELOUCH CALL!!!" as he said this he raised his hand into the air "They normally call me Lulu.".

Is that about right, it seems a bit short to me...
EDIT: Made it slightly longer.

 

[Xero Scythe]

Spoiler: Character Sheet

Club: Music Group

Biography: Damien was born in the city to well-to-do parents who always wanted the best for their children. So every year, they sent their children to the grandparent?s farm in the summer to help with the harvest and remember what they came from. Well, one year, Damien?s brother Xavier was fooling around with his scythe during the harvest time and accidentally caught Damien across the chest with it, causing the scar now seen on Damien?s chest.

Whew! Sorry my reserve came in so late- this is the first time I've been able to access a damn computer for a while. I hope I get in!

 

[XThecommander]

I'm confused... Is the audition writing thing required? Also, is the RP starting right now?

Yes, it is required, and no, it is just closed so we will take no new reserves or applications besides those from people with reserves.

Spoiler: Audition

Cecilia awoke to the sound of an alarm, blaring static. She turned towards the alarm clock, and saw it was 6:47, about the time she usually woke up. Cecilia gazed out the window, seeing a maze of houses, and buildings. With a loud yawn, Cecilia walked towards the shower, removing only her clothes, and soaking herself in the shower. After a few minutes, she got out, hearing a jet fly overhead, as she walked towards her drawer, her hair still dripping with water, and her body still warm from the shower. It then dawned on her that she had already layed out her clothes.

Yawning, Cecilia walked over to her chair, a stack of clothes sat there, a white undershirt, a black vest that reached to her hips, and finally a pair of black sweat pants, with her undergarments. She put the clothes on, and looked over at the clock, realizing it was 6:59, she was ready for school, and it would start soon. The mirror showed herself, a quiet girl who loved music, and who barely went outside, unless it was raining or snowing.

Right... I have a few minutes to get to school, and enough time to grab a snack to eat.

The stairs didn't creak like they did in your old house, they were nicely decorated, your hand gliding over the railing, as Cecilia walked downstairs. The sound of cars going by was heard as you walked into the kitchen, and grabbed a cereal bar, and some tea to drink. She flipped open your cellphone, it had showed the time was 7:12.

Perfect, I'll reach school just in time to have a few minutes to survey the area.

As the thought went through her head, she remembered she didn't have her sheos on. She quickly ran, and got them. Just as she was about to leave, she remembered her music player, she ran back upstairs, and grabbed it. Cecilia walked towards the school quickly, wanting to not be late on your first day.

Heaven forbid, mom will get irritated, just for missing one day, even if it isn't the first day.

She arrived at 7:27, noticing, a man walking up the bell tower.

What is he doing!? Whoever he is, he is certainly interesting. I wonder if he likes music...

She thought, as more people arrived, and she surveyed the campass a little bit, reaching a deciding she would do more observations as the day went on.

Suddenly, he started sliding down the bell tower, coming towards the ground where he would then roll infront of her, and present himself.

Lelouch call aye? You seem interesting, but why did you go up to that bell tower in the first place? Could he be observing the school as well? I'm gonna have to ask him, or should I say, force him to tell me.

She thought, as a wicked smile went across her face, as she thought of what to do with her power. And making sure to not show anyone she had smiled.

Huh... it would be the characters name, not "you." Sorry if that wasn't clear, it just becomes a given for most RPers after about one RP.

 

[XThecommander]

Actually, that all depends on ones style of writing, I'm someone who uses first, and second person views,. But I don't mind using third, it will just take awhile to get used to that, since I rarley use it. Regardless, I will fix the post if you want.

Thank you, and, for future reference, note that, unless it says otherwise, assume any RP uses third person, as I have never, in my year here, seen one that uses second or first person.

Oh and, pointer, use "him" or "her," depending on the gender, a lot more than the character's name, as having the name a lot is a bit nonprofessional.

 

[XThecommander]

I understand what you are saying, but, second person is something I use more often than third person. Truely, first person is more comfortable, and third person does a good amount of things for some writings, but I can't help but feel a better liking towards second person and first.

Also, why is it wrong to write differently? True, it helps the RP flow nicely if everyone writes in one style, but it feels like just a line, leading in only one direction, and never faltering. The line may have bumps, and such, lke third person omniscent, and other things, but it never changes direction.

In any case, I will write, and rewrite the audition, in a third person view if that's what you require/want .

 

[Fury Is Me.]

Spoiler: Sheety goodness

Name: Shiki Houjou.

Nickname: Shiky, and sometimes Shiky icky (Shikieiki)

Age: 17

Gender: Female.

Appearance: Light green hair, deep, yellow eyes, pale skin. Always wears a smile. She's 6" exactly. She's usually seen wearing a deep red shirt with black streaks across it. Lots of black streaks, like someone threw lines of ink at it. She wears a very long, purple skirt that goes down to her ankles and black casual shoes. She wears fingerless, white gloves with this pentagram on it. Like this.

Spoiler: OOC

.

Club: Occult club

Biography: Shiky grew up very close to the Academy, living under rich parents. It's not like she really cared that she was rich, nor did she like it. Her parents were always so uprtight and "Aristocratic", but that's not what she wanted. She enjoyed freedom, enjoyed doing whatever the HELL she wanted, so she constantly pestered them to send her to the academy until they agreed. She enjoyed pulling pranks and lazing around a bit too much as a kid and was usually avoided as she was labeled a weirdo. She didn't care about that either. Weather with friends or by herself, Shiky always found a way to have a good time, even when it looked like there was no way to do so.

Primary power: Shiki has the ability to create a sort or "Inter Dimensional rift" that can connect to any universe she wants. They act as portals and she can create more than one and travel through them and pull things from different dimensions into them. She cannot suck people into them but she can pull things out of them, as long as they can go through. She can also fire things from them, as long as they're not being pulled from the dimension she's in. She can place these anywhere she wants but cannot automatically put you in them, nor can she seal anyone in another dimension.

Secondary poer: Black Magic.
Shiki has a little black magic spellbook that allows her to fire bolts of non-elemental, magical energy in various bursts, pulsations and orbs. So she can create small pulses of weak magic, small orbs that makd small explotions on impact, or larger orbs that burn through what they touch and weaken as they fly.

Other: Shiki does not care. About ANYTHING. Anything she does is just for fun. The occult club could be told to shut their doors for no good reason and she wouldn't give a shit. She's also very lethargic and enjoys pulling pranks on people when she's not sleeping about. No one has ever been able to get her mad, the most is just slightly irritated.
She's also a great sketch and color artist. She will attempt to make friends with anyone... and then proceed to constantly prank them.

Well, most people see RPs as kinds of stories and books, and, even in the cheapest novel, there aren't really any novels that switch from first to second.

I can appreciate you trying to change things, but it's not really what most GMs, me included, look for. What you would like would be a true RP, which uses second person, but are slightly different in style. Check out some of them on this forum if you need help seeing what they are.

 

[Fury Is Me.]

My sheet is in.

 

[XThecommander]

Indeed it is... But you also need to write an audition thing (Basically an intro, and unfortunatley, yes, this is required)

 

[Fury Is Me.]

MAN. I ripped ALOT of things off in my sheet. But I'll bet alot of you can't spot them.

 

[XThecommander]

I spotted a few... O wait, now I see alot. But whatever, I was thinking a character almost identical to lelouch, but someone already has lelouch, and I couldn't think of a name that would fit his face...

 

[Fury Is Me.]

I ripped off Hellsing, for one, with her gloves with the pentagrams.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

I ripped off Hellsing, for one, with her gloves with the pentagrams.

FMA has that too,The Flame(is that it) Alchemist has pentagram gloves.
Not that it matters, I was just pointing it out.
