OMG, I almost forgot about this >< This takes place some 150 years after the end of the war. Airbenders have since repopulated the plant and this school has recently opened in order to brigde any final gaps that may still linger after the war.
Okay, so here we have it, the third CBY. I'm hoping that it is at least as successful as its predecessors and hopefully even more so. Once I get enough applicants I will post the RP thread. Updates will be posted here as well.
OOC Stuff
Rules first. These aren't going to be complicated. All of the rules of the general forum along with any specific rules for the RP section need to be followed. That means no cursing (that means even IC, sorry), no bashing others, treating others with respect, etc. I expect that you all know the rules and will be considerate to one another, I shouldn't have to mention what will happen if they are broken.
Now I don't expect everyone to get along perfectly or even peacefully for that matter, IC, but that doesn¡¦t mean you should take it personally. Remember, things said in IC should stay in IC. I don't want to see fights started over what is said/what happens IC.
This is going to, hopefully, be a big undertaking. I'm assuming that we'll get a lot of people joining up, and one of the things that I've noticed from the previous threads, at least for me is that it gets cluttered and hard to follow who your character is RPing with exactly. In an attempt to alleviate this problem I would like people to quote who they are responding to, or at least at the top of the post bold the names of the RPer whom you are RPing with. If these proves to be a waste of time, then we'll disregard it, but for now we'll go with it.
Your Character
Time for you to create your character, yay! When you finish it please PM it to me, do not post it here. I will be the only one playing multiple characters, and that is only done so that we have faculty. I'm sorry to say what you are able to play is going to be limited. Every character must be 14 or thereabouts (think high school freshman) and Must be a bender. I don't want any non-cannon bending, and I don't expect people to be beyond medium skill in bending. Other than that, just follow the format:
Name: (Asian based first and last)
Gender: (Boy or girl)
Nation: (I don¡¦t mind a firebender from the Earth Kingdom, but if you are, explain it in your History)
Element: (What kind of bender is your character)
Level: (Are they just discovering their talents, or do they have the basics under their belts)
Pet: (They can bring any animal, but only the smaller ones will be allowed in the dorms)
Weapon: (You can bring your own weapon, but it will be confiscated until weapons class)
Appearance: (I'm expecting at least a paragraph, preferably more. What does your charrie look like? How do they hold themselves?)
Personality: (I also want at least a paragraph, preferably more. What makes your charrie tick? Are they nice/mean/angry?)
History: (I want at least two paragraphs. What are you character's origins? Who does your character look up to?)
As mentioned above, I want the profile sent to me via PM. I'll place you in dorms and such and I'll post the dorm assignments along with the opening post. If you are having trouble with filling this out, check out this thread. If I don't think your profile is up to snuff, I will ask you to change it.
The School
Finally, what you've all been waiting for, the actual school. CBY is divided up into the North, South, East, and West wings along with an outdoor field and stable for larger than dorm approved animals. The wings are connected by a large ornate glass domed room where all announcements will be put up along with upcoming events, class schedules, etc.
In the North wing you will found the boys dorms, and in the South wing is where the girls find lodging. The East wing will be where the teacher's offices are along with the bending rooms and the classroom. The West wing is where the students can go to hang out. It holds the dinning hall, library, theater/auditorium, weapons stash, and a large hang our room (for lack of a better term) filled with comfy chairs, tables, and wide windows.
As classes go there will be a schedule posted on the first day that will include: World History, World Literature, Bending, and PE (Weapons). All classes save Bending will be taught to the whole school at the same time in the same room with breaks in between.
There will be meal times, and if your character misses them, then s/he will go hungry. Much like a normal school once the school day ends the students will be free to roam the grounds, hang out, do homework, or whatever. Lights out will be 10 PM sharp, and if I were you I'd make sure that your character is present and accounted for.
That's it I do believe. The only thing left to say is have fun and I can't wait to see you on campus
