Take this chance to plot amongst yourselves previously existing relationships between your characters, seeing as they will be studying in the same high school.

Given the last interactions between Sentry and Loki, I'd think that it'd be kind of fitting for Terry and Blake to be rather antagonistic toward one another at the start, fitting further given their polar opposite stances on words and interactions.

Yeah, that definitely fits.

Since my character (if she's accepted) isn't studying at high school anymore I reckon she'll work as a music tutor at the high school. So, if any one of your character's is likely to interact with her do tell.

I'd be interested if Ciro and Zia were acquainted. He didn't take music as an elective, but he does often run errands for the teaching staff to get some brownie points. They could bond over both having to take care of their family.

Besides that, Ciro's more likely to know the others via the odd jobs he does around the neighbourhood. He might know David if David's parents have ever elected to get a paid babysitter for the twins, for example.

I'm wondering if I'm closing off any close relationships with Travis or not..,

Would it be wrong to play him as mute (at least until he can use his powers without consequence)?

Would any of you happen to be on the Cinema Club, tabletop RPG nerds or athletes? Because those are the best places to run into Tim.

I see no problem with playing him as mute.

Added the just accepted characters. My dear players, take this time to not only arrange previously existing relationships- seeing as, again, you are all part of the same High School (which I've decided to call the James Madison High School in the city of Hightown, Connecticut- for reference sake, it is essentiallyMiddletown, Connecticut, down to its place on the map)- but also to figure out why would your character be in school on the early hours of the night of April 22nd, 2015... also known as the Wednesday which changed the world! Club activities, talking to teachers, parents coming to talk to teachers, extracurricular work, sports, that kind of activity.

I'm not sure about specifics for anyone else but I think Blake would probably have a pretty bad reputation in general so most people wouldn't like him much.

Blake would be in detention. He's not really the type to stick around longer than necessary unless he has to. Anyone else think their character would be in detention?

Cleaning and storing a mascot costume is much harder than it looks.

EDIT: Mmmm, the James Madison Falcons?

Mine probably would. She is a rebel after all.

I feel kinda' silly now; y u so op, Michal? I thought everyone would gravitate towards really powerful superheroes, but that's not the case.

But, ah. I don't think Michal would have a deep connection with any of these characters initially, considering he's a loner. Unless any of you want to have a connection, of course.

I was going to sign up as a mutant- and not just any mutant- Joshua Foley is the guy I was going for. With the right applications, my character could eventually end up doing so much, seeing as he can modify his and other people's biological structure. He could even end up giving people powers or taking it away.

Still not sure if I should sign up...

Well, Strat, you got your concept? Just write up the application and post it on the sign-up sheet. What's the harm?

Also, this is the discussion page.

Time, my friend, time is the problem here. Not sure if I have time for another RP.

The only reason Michal would be at school that late is if his parents made him do something against his will. So... His parents made him join the robotics club because he wasn't making any friends, and they wanted him to meet some people his age. Is that OK?

Oooh. Now that gave me an idea for what my character might be doing in school.

Yeah, I think I'll be making a sheet.

Anyone wants to be friend with a rebel goth girl?

@Strat: That's the spirit.

And if some manual labor wasn't enough, let's give Tim some more manual labor by being an active member of the Cinema Club! Does helping build props for an upcoming project seem tiresome enough that he and a few others have to stay a little later than usual?

hey strat, seren, and tenebroys

Nice to see you around here.

@RPG: I wanna try and build something between Tim and Luna. Inspite of being two very different characters, they have a core of similarity. He's into movies and fantasy stuff and that sorta junk, going into his interests whole-heartedly. Luna still believes in that stuff, even if she's among the loudest in calling that stuff garbage.

Hmm. Blake wouldn't really have any proper friends (although that may change as the RP progresses) but I can see him having a sort of respect for Luna, both approving of the rebellious personality but also being on the verge of seeing through the act (although he wouldn't have already realised what she's really like as he's still not social enough to actually consider other people in much detail).

This post was thumped by the Stick of Post Thumping

I think Ciro would be staying late to put in a little overtime study, since the school's facilities would be much better than what he has at home.

Or, if Vandal would be cool with it, he could volunteer to help the Cinema Club with their prop-building despite not being an actual member?

@Tenebrous

Sounds great love the idea, I think they would totally know each other from detention at least.

@Tk

I love that idea, I could totally see he supposedly hating those movies and still be there somehow.
