Riverside Academy is a prep school only known of by the rich and famous, a place where the offspring of various movie stars, political figures, along with those employed by less lawful means.

It location is deep in the middle of the woods of New England, only reachable by helicopter, and even then its half an hour by Jeep from the landing pad to the front gates.

Bomb threats and kidnapping are a daily occurance at Riverside Academy, with it being mandatory for students to learn how to fire guns and wear breathable Kevlar uniforms. Construction workers are on stand by to fix all damage done to school property.

We won't even mention the mischeif the students themselves get into with each other.

The school's population is increasing lately, what with some mysterious organization targeting the heirs and heiress' of influential mob families.

An RPG taking place at an Academy of Adventure where the absurd and ridiculously dangerous are commonplace. Think Baccano! only at a Boarding School, not on a train and without the Immortals. Maybe.
RPG takes place several weeks before school actually starts, with students figuring out the campus. All the while, something ominous is hinted to take place soon.

While there will be no Godmodding or ghosting, it is possible to play as different Mooks come in for characters to fight.

You can also create and play multiple characters, but keeping track of so many can be confusing, so please keep the number to a minimum of 2-6 characters, if you can.

This post will probably be edited at ood times.

  • Name: Carola McRogh
  • Nickname(s): By her victims, "The Abomination", to others, most call her "Implacable Woman Child."
  • Age: Physical Age is 17. Mental age is 10-12
  • Grade: Junior
  • Appearance: a downright stunningly beautiful young woman, quite tanned looking, she has long blond hair, quite strange looking Eyes of Gold, she wears a black dress on most days which, while form fitting, also lets her move around freely. One might not realize it from her lithe appearance, but all the musculature on her body is packed tighter than granite.
  • Personality: She is a very dear, sweet young woman who always crushes on her Bishies, but is using a Hikaru Genji Plan to raise up her young charge so that he and she can "be lovey dovey forever and ever" when he grows up. She is a bit of a Psychopathic Manchild, though, and really hates fighting, but when ordered to, she will not stop until there is nothing left of her enemy but barely a bloody puddle. All the while crying, "Why are you making me hit you?" She is a perplexing person, one minute she is sitting there, calm as can be, and the next she might grab you by the throat if her master orders it. She does like her "Job", which is accompanying her little charge around school. She is a definitely tragic figure, her past is full of trauma, but she is very confident and self assured that even though she is hurting inside, the future can be better.
  • Background: Her father is a leading biochemist, her mother a surgeon, and while both were rich, they were still greedy people, and wanted more...and more...and more. So when their daughter was born autistic, and a relative died and left their genius son in the couple's care, they decided to make something of the situation. Using high grade synth fibers, artificial muscle fibers, and a number of implants, notable without using anaesthetic, they turned Carola into the guardian of their family. The conditioning was insane, and in the end, she never grew beyond the mind of a child. So when they decided to send their genius kid to Riverside, they sent her along too, in order to test how well their pet project would work.
  • Parent(s): Damion Mc Rogh and Stephenie Mc Rogh
  • Parent(s) Occupation: Biochemist Father, Surgeon Mother
  • Skills and Abilities: She knows multiple martial arts, but she never ever fights to win. She fight to kill. She has such ferociously evil killing intention, every single hit hits you once by the sheer pressure of the air when she's punching you. Each hit, that said, is enough to crush the bone under the skin to pieces if she directly connects, and that's if she's ordered to "make the person leave". She does not feel pain, she can take insane amounts of damage before going "offline" persay. She has a number of weaknesses, in that she cannot fight back until her Master tells her to, she cannot stop until her Master tells her to, and she really goes into depression after being forced to kill.


  • Name: Jason Eisend
  • Nickname(s): none, really, but the bullies call him any number of names. Carola calls him "Master".
  • Age: 13
  • Grade: 10
  • Appearance: A rather short and compact young fellow, has long black hair tied back into a ponytail, he prefers wearing short sleeved shirts, black pants, and sneakers. He is inside rather self conscious, mostly because he has some fat on him. He seems to walk with slumped shoulders. He is a very cute looking kid.
  • Personality: He is the quiet type, who will not normally seek people out, mostly because of a nasty incident when he and Carola were in middle school. A bully was pushing him around, hitting him, and threatening Carola, and even their family's dog. Jason took all the abuse, but when the guy started to grope Carola, he shouted "Carola, hurt him really bad." A No-Holds-Barred Beatdown ensued, Carola breaking the bully's back with her bare hands. Ever since then, Jason has been trying to keep himself from using his super maid, but somehow, news of her doing that did not spread, and so when they were forced to transfer and during high school, bullies are still attacking him. Jason was always a shy introvert, but now he won't speak up for fear of her doing that again. However, if you hurt his friends, he won't hesitate to sicc the supermaid on you. He has tendencies toward planning and scheming, more than direct fighting.
  • Background: He used to have two loving parents, but they died, and left him in the care of the Mc Roghs, who proceeded to give him Carola, as if she was just a gift in the mail. He had always been bullied, but when the bullies figured out he was not a responsive target, they would just target his friends to "troll him". He has had to move around a few times, actually, mostly because his maid has done some things she and he both regret. He is currently going to Riverside, and is one of the young genius students.
  • Parent(s): See Carola
  • Parent(s) Occupation: See Carola
  • Skills and Abilities: He is a capable Chessmaster, but is more of a Guile Hero. He is very good with machinery.

Pretty damn creepy, considering her personality and the backstory you've given her.

Ok here's my sheet.

  • Name: Victor Peyton
  • Nickname: "Ryder" from the logo of the skateboard that he always rides around on or just "Vic".
  • Age:17
  • Grade: Junior
  • Appearance: He is 5' 10'' tall with short black hair. On the left side of his face, on his cheek, he has small scar marks from an accident he had a couple months before enrolling which is why he often wears fingerless gloves with elbow pads (he also has kneepads but he wears them beneath his baggy pants) and he is often seen riding on his skateboard, although he doesn't need to kick in order to propel himself.
  • Personality: He rebellious against authority, but otherwise he is easy going though a bit cocky at times since he sometimes uses his power to give himself an edge in sports. He is quite lazy at times, although whenever he has a test coming up or has to turn in work, he quickly does it at the last minute.
  • Background: His father is the head of a prestigious law firm and his mother is a CEO of a software company. His father got to his position by working as the lawyer for various crime lords and being involved in money laundering and blackmail. His mother however, got to where she is by crushing her competition through corporate espionage, extortion, and utilizing ties to the mafia. Much of his childhood he was ignored by his parents, since they were more preoccupied with their job and legal investigations against them, so he ended up rebelling against them since they never cared about what he did and sometimes he did it for attention. When he was about 15 years old he discovered his powers when he rollerblading with a couple of delinquents and he was challenged to a race, where he felt himself speeding up beyond normal. He lost the race, because he couldn't control his speed, and ended up shooting off a ramp and crashing. A few months before he was sent to Riverside Academy, he was speeding on the highway while being chased by a cop... while on a bicycle. Needless to say, it ended bad and Victor was sent to the hospital with broken bones, and because the media got wind of the incident his parents decided to send him away in order to keep their reputation and image intact.
  • Parent(s): Laura and Eric Peyton
  • Parent(s) Occupation: Eric Peyton- Lawyer Laura Peyton- Executive of Software company
  • Skill and Abilities: He capable of controlling kinectic energy, mainly accelerating and decelerating, which allows him to "push" object at high speeds or slow down and stop moving objects as long as he makes contact. Although he is able to speed himself up, he is still limited by how fast his body can naturally move and react.
