[RPG - 50] Nothing like Highschool [Talktopic] - Praattopics

---

---

High Schools - and teenagers in general - are known for their clichés, stereotypes and drama. Friends are made and lost, enemies lurk around every corner and teachers are the worst. Here at Borealis, it isn't any different. Or is it? ☠      ☠      ☠ Eventhough the Hunter Community is really close, it's still a community. And some people tend to not fit in. Orphans, trouble makers and other unwanted children only have one place to go: Borealis. A school - a fucking community - in the middle of icecold nothing. These kids might be special, they might have abilities, they might have a perfect shot, but they're still kids. So prepare, for all the clichés, stereotypes and drama. Because Borealis is not that different at all ...

☠ Roles ☠ Boys - 6 ❖ Username ~ Name ~ Age ~ Status ~ Faceclaim ~ Page ❖ Ziegler ~ Abel Nathaniel Rutherford ~ 17 ~ Mysterious Loner ~ Jamie Campbell ~ 1.2 ❖ Soco ~ Davey Luc Reeves ~ 18 ~ Status ~ Cole Sprouse ~ 1.3 ❖ WaIt ~ Name ~ Age ~ Status ~ Faceclaim ~ Page ❖ Yousana ~ Name ~ Age ~ status ~ Faceclaim ~ Page ❖ Yousana ~ Leif Næsheim ~ 17 ~ Popular (?) ~ Timur Simakov ~ 1.3 Girls - 4 ❖ Username ~ Name ~ Age ~ Status ~ Faceclaim ~ Page ❖ Tamatoa ~ Rosaleigh 'Ro(se)' Camille Desormeaux ~ 16 ~ Unpopular bitch ~ Indya Marie ~ 1.2 ❖ Merodeadores ~ Elin Nyström ~ 17 ~ Status ~ Hanna Edwinson ~ 1.3 ❖ Sempre ~ Lyra Moreau ~ 16 (almost 1) ~ Master of puppets ~ Michelle Trachtenbeg ~ 1.3 ❖ Perffect ~ Maria Marvelle Benson ~ 16 ~ Newbie ~ Anna Kendrick~ 1.3 (Status = popular, nerd, athletic, goth, marshmellow, whatevs) It's my intention to only play the 'students', but if you want something else, just ask and I'll see what we can do. Fill in Your role can be really simple. It is allowed to keep it short and you do not have to use a layout. Ofcourse, if you want to; go knock yourself out. ❖ Name (any) ❖ Age (10 -20) You can play a kid, but do realise that it affects your character's relationships and interaction. Do realise that anyone older than 18 has to have a partner who's at least a year younger. It's possible, but also rare at this school. ❖ Nationality (any) (❖ Specialties) (not obligated) ❖ Looks A picture is enough, but you can always describe more. ❖ Personality Traits alone are enough for me, but I recommend a little bit of explanation so it's clear for the others. ❖ History It's enough to say why your character is staying at Borealis and for how long. So if you just say orphan, 3 years, that's enough. You can put more if you want to. ❖ Relationships (any)

Location & Map

Rules ❖ Alcohol is forbidden under the age of 17 ❖ Cigarettes are forbidden under the age of 15 ❖ All drugs are forbidden ❖ Guns and other shooting weapons aren't allowed outside the shooting range, unless you have permission ❖ Students are not allowed to enter the Archives ❖ Students are not allowed to leave the terrain without permission ❖ Students from the ages 6 to 12 have to be in their building between 8:30 PM and 7 AM ❖ Students from the ages 6 to 12 have to be on their floor between 9:30 PM and 6 AM ❖ Students from the ages 6 to 12 have to be in their room between 10 PM and 5:30 AM ❖ Students from the ages 13 to 20 have to be in their building between 10:30 PM and 5 AM ❖ Students from the ages 13 to 20 have to be on their floor between 11 PM and 5 AM ❖ Students from the ages 13 to 20 have to be in their room between 12 PM and 5 AM ❖ Students have to pay their respects for every graduated hunter. ❖ To avoid misuse of the previous rules, every graduated hunter has to leave the school for at least two years. ❖ The rooms will be checked every sunday. Privacy will be kept, but the dorms have to be clean and tidy. ❖ No one is allowed to hurt anyone in anyway, unless it's during training. ❖ Pets are allowed Students ❖ This isn't a school for every regular hunter. In fact, only three kinds of children end up here: - The ones who don't have a Hunter family that is big enough to give them the proper training. They are usually sent by their parents or other family members. - Orphans. They are the ones who are discovered and usually don't know anything about Hunters until they arrive at the school. - The troublemakers and unwanted. These children are usually so awful their family sent them away to gain some discipline. Most children belong in this group. ❖ The school houses children between the age of 6 and 20. That means every child has had the test with the photograph and everyone stays - unless something really serious happened - until their graduation. ❖ These children do not excist for the normal world. They don't have valid papers, or those won't be used. ❖ At the moment, there are 186 students housed. There are 53 teachers and 16 other staffmembers. Vacation Although this is a hard environment and there isn't much space for mental issues and care, they are not entirely unreasonable. The children can leave the school. ❖ They spend the coldest period of the year (half december - half februari) in a different country. Usually somewhere in Europe or North-America. The school will be divided in groups of maximum 50 and be stationed at a Quarter. This is not a break and the lessons (usually exams) will continue. ❖ The schoolyear ends on the 16th of June. It starts again on the 23rd of July. ❖ They get to go on a vacation in juli. It's three weeks long and they can choose their own destination (one that's on the list (15)). After these three weeks, school starts again. ❖ They often get a few days of during the year. ❖ Last winter, they went to Dubhaile, Scotland. ❖ Although it's not allowed, there are often parties for the students aged 15 or older. They take place in some of the old, not used buildings further north on the terrain. Training ❖ 6 years old: The children are shown a picture of a vampire. If they cannot see them, they are hunters. This is the age they are allowed at the school. Start of theoretic lessons. ❖ 8 - 10 years old: The children get their partner - with a maximum age difference of two years, although they try to keep the difference as small as possible - and a small brand of a moon on their right wrist. They start as soon as the youngest of the two turns 8. Start of practical lessons. ❖ 11 - 13 years old: They get to go on their first hunt, but are not allowed to kill anything - unless it cannot be avoided. They are guided by at least one more experienced hunter couple, who do most of the job. Choice of specialisations.* Theoretic lessons stop. ❖ 14 - 16 years old: They get to go on their first, unguided hunt. This is - after graduation - the highlight of their study. This is the moment their first kill happens. After this day, they go on a hunt every two weeks. They get a larger, but simple tattoo. Whenever they reach a certain amount of kills, the tattoo gets more detailed. (1ste kill, 10de kill, 25ste kill, 50ste kill, 80ste kill 100ste kill, 145ste kill, 200ste kill. After this one, a new tatto will be started.) ❖ 18 - 20 years old: They graduate. There's a ceremony each year, but I'm too lazy to think off that. They get another brand of a sun on their left wrist. Afterwards, they get a week to pack their stuff and leave. They are not allowed to come back for at least 2 years. However, they are allowed to keep their contacts and see their friends, just not at school. ❖ Ofcourse, not every student arrives at the school at the age of 6. The ones who are older get an adapted cousre. It's usually more intense and a lot more difficult as they get the same amount of time. Students who arrive really late, usually never become true Hunters and will become Teachers or researchers. Lessons Normal They get a normal education, although it's a bit easier than usual. It's a lot of selfstudy and it's only the basic classes. The older you get, the more you have to do on your own. ❖ Math ❖ English ❖ Russian ❖ Science (Chemistry, Physics & Biology) ❖ (Human) History ❖ Geography *Specialisations Every student gets basic training lessons. These are the things the students want to train extra. Another basic lesson is survivaling. Theoretics ❖ History & Research of monsters (H&RM): You'll learn everything there is to know about monsters, which isn't that much. This is a course that is looked down upon and not many students take it. The History part is quite extensive, but there isn't much budget and interest for the research. ❖ Firearms; History (FH): This is a course that cannot be taken alone. Students who follow weapondevelopment have to take it, while it's an option for the students who follow the course Firearms; Practice. ❖ Handarms; History (HH): This is a course that cannot be taken alone. Students who follow weapondevelopment have to take it, while it's an option for the students who follow the course Handarms; Practice. ❖ History & Research of Hunters (H&RH): You'll learn everything there is to know about Hunters, which isn't that much. This is a course that is looked down upon and not many students take it. The History part is quite extensive, but there isn't much budget and interest for the research. Practice ❖ Kill & Conquer; Vampires (KCV): This is the course where you'll learn every detail about killing vampires. ❖ Kill & Conquer; Werewolves (KCW): This is the course where you'll learn every detail about killing werewolves. ❖ Firearms; Practice (FP): You'll learn about guns and everything that shoots. You also learn how to use most of them, and choose a few to specialise in. ❖ Handarms; Practice (HP): You'll learn about knives, swords and every weapon that doesn't require munition. You also learn how to use most of them, and choose a few to specialise in. ❖ Close Combat (CC): Here you'll learn how to fight when you don't have a weapon. Both ❖ Weapon Development (WD): Here you'll learn how to change, improve or invent weapons of all kinds and other aids for hunting. Students who take this course also have to follow the History of both kinds of weapons. ❖ Medicine: This is where you'll learn advanced first aid and everything else you need to know about healing and stuff. The students can choose how many years they'll take this course and when to start, as it's based at level and not at age. ❖ Foreign Cooperation (FC): This is already very specific. The students who take this course will be Travelers, which are some kind of ambassadors/negotiators. This course includes at least 2 more languages (choosing from Arabic, Portuguese, Chinese, Spanish & French), communication and culture & customs. They also take two more short trips to other countries, in octobre and march. Exams ❖ They have regular tests ❖ There are midterm exams in january and final exams in the last and first two weeks of june. Money ❖ To keep it easy, we'll just use the euro. I don't have a clue what the normal prices are in Russia (1 euro = almost 60 ruble, but idk how much a bottle of water costs, ya know.) ❖ Every student gets some pocket money. When they're younger than 12, they get 20 the month. When they're older, they get 40. ❖ Kids who still have a family, often get more money sent to them. ❖ The students can earn some money when they do chores. Sports ❖ There are only teams when the interest is big enough. They play a lot of sports during training, but outside of that it depends. I'll go further on with this if people are interested.

☠ Hunters ☠ ❖ At least one of the parents has to be a Hunter as well. That's the only requirement. ❖ Hunters cannot turn into a monster. ❖ Hunters can recognize monsters, they're more fit physically and they are more resistant to pain and illness. ❖ At the proper age, they have to take a test. The results of this test determine the partner. Hunters almost never hunt without their partner and they learn to train together. They can, however, take different courses. Every combination (male x male, male x female, female x female, ...) is possible and there are no restrictions on the relationship between them. ❖ There are a few rules every hunter has to keep:       - Humans have to be kept out at all costs. This means physically, but also by knowledge.       - Werewolves may not be harmed when they are in human form, unless it's self-defence.       - One bullet is better than two.       - Never make a vampire go into a Tantrum on purpose       - Never hurt a non-feeding member of the Colonies. ☠ Monsters ☠ If you've got the time and motivation; you can read everything about vampires and werewolves here. If you don't; just keep this shit in mind: Vampires ❖ Hunters recognize them because they do not have a reflection or show on images and film. This is uniquely for Hunters. ❖ They can die when you cut of their head, damage their heart enough or put them on fire. ❖ Their biggest weakness is sunlight for young vampires, and elektricity for them all. And fire, but that's kind of everybody's weakness. Werewolves ❖ Hunters recognize them because their irises are completely black (not their entire eyes, just the colourpart). Only Hunters can see this. ❖ They can die whenever you hurt them enough. ❖ Only changed werewolves are a target. It's forbidden to kill a werewolf in humanform, unless it's self-defense. ❖ Their biggest weakness is silver. ☠ Rules ☠ ❖ Huisregels ❖ Only Tamatoa is allowed to open new topics, unles I ask differently ❖ Whenever there is an issue, send me and/or the person involved a pb or gb. Don't put it in the topic. This is not to silence anything, but I've seen (and have been on both sides, I'll admit that) it happen when someone points something out, a lot of people react to it. There is nothing wrong with that, but it can feel like an attack and I want to avoid that. Long story short; I'm sick of the drama, whether watching it, or being part of it. This does not apply to questions. (Don't spam me) ❖ Maximum three characters, with at least two different sexes ❖ OOC clearly indicated or do it in the Talktopic ❖ Mentioned in your post: Who, where and with whom. A special lay-out is not obligated. ❖ Your post only has to be at least 50 words. That's almost nothing, so I hope there will be more posts, as they are less time consuming. ❖ Posts and roles have to be in English. Everything else doesn't really matter. You can choose ❖ If you need more information about RPG'ing, go check this out

Mijn brein breint zoals het breint.

Perffect schreef:
Ik heb nog wat vragen over achtergrond informatie

Vampiers:
- is Paramount of Para ook een officiële term die vaker wordt gebruikt en meer gelijkheid toont tussen de twee vampiers. De meeste Jagers gebruiken ook deze term. - in wat voor situatie gebruiken ze dit?

- zien mensenmensen ook de verwondingen van vampiers?

Weerwolf
- moet het puur zilver zijn, of kun je ook een dolk hebben van zilver gemengd met iets zodat het sterk is?

- ze hebben wel een roedel, maar ook meer instincten. Is het zo dat ze dan 'gewoon' samen leven en rennen, of zit er iets achter de roedel? (zoals bij twilight: bescchermen van de gemeenschap)

enn waarom worden de weerwolven ook als slecht beschouwd? (want het is niet dat ze leven van mensenvlees oid.)

- Wanneer dit ter sprake komt, meestal bij onderhandelingen of tijdens de geschiedenisles. Het is vooral belangrijk om relaties te benadrukken. Zo is de leider vann de Western Colony (Amerika) een Sub van de (vroegere) leider van de Centrale Kolonie (Europa). Doordat een Para fysieke macht heeft (deze kan telepathisch pijn veroorzaken) over zijn subs, kan dit (maar dat gebeurt niet altijd) invloed op de macht van bepaalde vampiers hebben.

- Ja, Jagers zien enkel het spiegelbeeld/camerabeeld niet, verder is er geen verschil. Echter, hoe ouder een vampier wordt, hoe meer de verwondingen van toen ze nog leefden en het moment waarop ze stierven, vervagen.


- Zodra er zilver in zit, is het schadelijker. Natuurlijk, hoe meer zilver, hoe meer schade. Maar ja, de meeste wapens zijn niet volledig zilver, aangezien het geen sterk metaal is.

- Ik snap niet zo goed wat je hiermee bedoelt (x

- In feite worden ze niet echt als slecht beschouwd, en vampiers evenmin sinds de Grote Genocide. Enkel vampiers en weerwolven die buiten het systeem vallen (loners, rogues, hoe je het ook wil noemen) worden als gevaarlijk - en dat zijn ze ook - en dus slecht beschouwd. Weerwolven in mensvorm mogen dan ook niet geschaad worden en met de meeste roedels zijn er ook plaatselijke afspraken gemaakt over de wolfvorm en de volle maan. Ze worden door de meeste Jagers als minder beschouwd, gewoonweg doordat ze zijn opgevoed en getraind om hen te doden en ook door de traditie en overlevering. Het hangt sterk van gebied tot gebied af. Zo zijn de drukke steden met veel volledig aangepaste roedels en kolonieleden veel soepeler tegenover elkaar, ook door de vele afspraken en onderhandelingen. Terwijl in heel afgelegen gebieden, zoals Borealis, bijna alle vampiers en weerwolven op zichzelf leven en dus wel degelijk een gevaar zijn voor de menselijke maatschappij, dus de Jagers daar leren dat de meeste monsters niets goed betekenen. Nu, ze worden er wel op gewezen dat wanneer ze op reis gaan, de regels daar anders zijn.

Nogmaals;

Ik zoek eigenlijk voor Lyra;
- iemand die ze al een tijdje aan het bespelen/manipuleren is om een bepaalde reden (.. in overleg)
- een fwb
- een paar personen die haar niet mogen, misschien dat ze hen ook al een aantal keer voor schut heeft gezet oid
- Personen waarmee ze vaak ruzie heeft maar waar wel wederzijdsrespect tussen is

When time and life shook hands and said goodbye.

Heel duidelijk, dank je! !

Continue to share your heart with other people even if it has been broken.

Het zijn beide leiders... Misschien dat ze elkaar een beetje uitdagen en triggeren? Hard tegen elkaar, maar op een goede manier? (als ze vrienden zijn, zij is wel loyaal maar niet mega open)

Sure, klinkt goed (:

Op welke manier/met welk doel zou ze hem dan manipuleren/bespelen?

Topics zijn bijgewerkt ^^

Nu even mijn relaties overlopen (:

Also, ik weet dat dit een onderwerp is dat vrij voorzichtig moet worden aangepakt - en ik wil even duidelijk maken dat het me gewoon interessant lijkt om me in zo'n personage in te leven en zo iets beter te begrijpen, en dat ik er dus niet op 'kick' - maar is er iemand die het ziet zitten om de verkrachter van mijn personage aan te maken/te spelen? Ik snap dat zoiets niet gemakkelijk is etc. dus het is echt gewoon een vraag (;

kindness is never a burden.

First impressions & relationships Leif Næsheim (p3):
Rosaleigh Desormeaux — Rose isn't really someone Leif would necessarily notice. Nothing about her catches his eye except for maybe her skintone. On the other hand, he hardly cares about rumors and all that crap, so he doesn't judge her about what happened either. Thoughts?
Abel Nathaniel Rutherford — Partners and fling. We got this.
Davey Luc Reeves — I feel like Leif and Davey would either be really good, salty, 'judging you together' type of friends or the exact opposite. Thoughts?
Elin Nyström — Crush-thing. We talking about this.
Lyra Moreau — We talking about this.
Maria Marvelle Benson — Challenging friends, if you could even call them that. They like to push each others buttons, but they know where to draw the line.

---

kindness is never a burden.

My list:
➵ Her rapist (I know, this is fucked-up, but I think it could be interesting to play. Ofcourse, if no one wants this shit, that's completely fine)
➵ Someone (or more than one) who believes the rumours and acts a bit like it.
➵ A best friend or some friends who noticed her changing, but don't know why and like to find out
Abel / Mirtes personage -> Ik weet niet zo goed wat Mirte nog van plan is, maar 2 beste vrienden zijn goed mogelijk, toch?
➵ An ex-friend with whom the relationship stranded because of the rumors (and other reasons)
➵ Maybe someone who witnessed the rape and/or knows of it (bc he/she heard it from the guy, or ...)
➵ A partner
➵ A guy who's in love with her/likes her and/or flirts with her and doesn't get her extremely negative reactions, but still doesn't give up.

Lists of others:
Leif
— possibly an ex-girlfriend/ex-boyfriend, fling, crush, whatever
Maybe he was her first kiss or something? Like the start of the rumours, although he can be innocent in this (your choice)

Marie
Je had aangegeven dat ze ooit gewoon vrienden konden zijn geweest.
Nu, mijn gevoel bij Rose is dat ze nooit echt gewone vrienden heeft gehad, eerder mensen die heel dicht bij haar stonden en dan kennissen die ze nauwelijks kende. Ze zal waarschijnlijk sowieso die laatsten allemaal afstoten sinds vorig jaar, en bij die eerste groep hangt het er van af. Kies jij maar (:

Lyra
- een paar personen die haar niet mogen, misschien dat ze hen ook al een aantal keer voor schut heeft gezet oid
Ze kan misschien iets met de geruchten te maken hebben?

@Lene
Only if you really want to. If you're just doing it for me, then you don't have to, although that's adorably sweet. I want it to be a character the maker really wants to play, bc of the difficult nature. It's not a disaster if nobody wants to do it, bc I do have some ideas myself (hence my guy reservation) but I don't like "deep or difficult" relationships between my own characters, so that's why I'm asking.

If you really want to, then you can ignore the shit above and go for it (:
