You'll be able to find the must reads here. If that doesn't broaden it up enough for you, the rules, the plot, the cannons, as well as the news and updates will be posted here, therefore make it a habbit to check on this board every now and then.
Although we all love to roleplay, sometimes it's just plain obvious to just kick back and relax for a while. Play a few games, maybe, and mingle with other members. The OOC Corner is just the place to do that, with sub boards such as graphics requests, ooc games, random rantings, and so much more. There is a board for absence, as well as for plot discussions.
Do you happen to have a site of your own, in need of members? You can post the plot and the link here and if our members are up to it, they just might join. Be sure that your site has a place where we can advertise, as well, or if you're linking back, please say so. There is an affiliate request, as well, for those wanting to affiliate with us. This board is guest friendly meaning you need not to register to post.
When your done reading the rules and the plots and all the necessary reads, it's now time to apply for a character. Now, applying for a character is pretty easy, if you follow the hints and tips we provide for you. Also, make sure you use the template he have provided when making your application.
Applications, it need not matter, be accepted or denied, will be moved here. If you are accepted, you will now be able to post in claims and sign-ups, and better yet, you are now able to roleplay. For those denied, don't take it personally. Feel free to apply again. Do check if you accepted or not before claiming, as it makes the admin jobs way more easier.
Only after you have been accepted, you are allowed to claim. Here, you will find anything and everything that has or can be claimed. First thing you'd need to do after being accepted is claim your face, since you aren't out of the woods until then. The rest of the claims are up to you to sign up for.
You may post any extra character information here, such as blogs, journals, photo albums, slam books, whatever comes to mind. You'll have to apply for a sub board, of course, in the claims board, but other than that, once your sub board is up, you are all set.
Does your character need a friend? A lover? An enemy, perhaps? Post their plot here, and watch other characters befriend them, love them, or possibly hate their guts. Don't take offence if one character hates your character. No one is loved by everyone.
Everyone gets bored every once in a while. That's why people came up with instant messaging. Be it with a close friend, or with random people you don't even know, IMing gets pretty handy when you're bored out of your wits.
MySpace is a big thing in today's world. Some say that FaceBook might 'pwn' it. Whichever you choose to believe, here's the place to place your character's own page. If your character is feeling up to date, then maybe he or she could even have his own blog or livejournal. The sky is the limit. Just put the url link as your topic name.
Texting is probably the quickest way to communicate. Everyone these days have cellphones. The old, the young, the teens. No one would want to be caught alive without a cellphone. They're also handy when you're board. Pick a ringtone, and play it over and over again until your ears go numb.
It only had gotten popular a few years ago. Who this gossiper is, or where he or she gets his or her sources is something only God would know. This student ran website is a popular place where students find dishes on each other. It strengthens and weakens relationships, but it's all fun in the end. Most of the time.
Adalardo means noble. Most in the Adalardo housing are overly comfortable. They are sons of rich bankers, celebrities, doctors, and other trained proffessions. They can be rather selfish, though, and pretty good harrassers, so be cautious. The Adalardo House is found thirty seconds from the school, giving them the advantage of a short walking distance every morning.
To be a Keegan takes lots of guts. These guys are the guys that symbolize the typical american male. Loud, obnoxious, and engrossed in sports. These guys don't take a single thing seriously, and would be seen around campus walking around in their gym clothes drinking soda and having burping contests. The Keegan House is the furthest from the school, forcing them to drive there, or either waking up early just to walk there.
Imogen means a girl or maiden. The Imogen house are prim and proper. They aren't the ones who go out and party all night and then come home drunk. They are very girly, and love to go shopping. They usually travel in groups, and wouldn't be caught dead alone, by themselves. The Imogen House is found beside the Adalardo House, giving them the advantage of a short walk from the school, as well.
Aithne means little fire, and to be an Aithne, means to have a spark in you. The Aithene house love partying, and just kicking back and having fun. They're the ones going around campus streaking, or at soccer games with their hair up screaming for the soccer team to put some effort into their play. The Imogen House is found in between the Adalardo and the Keegan House, a little further from the school.
This is where students will be spending their time the most. For almost eight hours a day, five days a week, this is where students will be. Classrooms are fairly big, with windows for proper circulation, desks are fairly large, as well, for students who carry a lot of things to class.
The hallways are pretty much crowded most of the time, with kids getting in and out of class. The halls are lined with lockers, and are pretty big, so traffic is seldomly the problem. This is where most gossip is made, and where several fights occur, but it is also the most popular hang out spot, as well.
The cafeteria is a place for mingling with other people as well as for hanging out with your friends. The cafeteria food is fairly edible, but of course, taking chances is something unrecommended, but there are a few soda machines, as well as snack machines for your advantage.
The sanitorium, or the san serves as a mini hospital for the school. Students who are sick or who feel sick are sent here. This place also serves as a place where the jocks come for physicals and what now. There are several nurses here, so no one is left behind.
The gym is where gym class is held, as well as a few indoor sports such as basketball, and volleyball. There are locker rooms on each side of the gym, one for males and one for females. There are risers that come out of the walls for after school games. This is where the real skill is tested. This is where you are dubbed: a dork, or a jock.
The Courtyard is a pretty popular spot for the seniors and juniors since they are more accessible to it. The courtyard is found right by the senior and junior hallway, which is pretty far from the sophimore and freshman hallway. The courtyard is a place for relaxation and just harcore chilling. Most Seniors and Juniors study here, or just chat in between classes.
The sports feilds are large feilds designed specifically for a certain sport. There is the football feild, the soccer feild, the baseball feild, and what not. The fields have courts, as well, for tennis and basketball, as well as a pool for the swim team. This is a popular jock/cheerleader hang out place since they spend a lot of their time here, practicing for their specific sport.
For students and teachers who drive, this is a place to park your car. The parking lots can hold a lot of cars so looking for a lot is pretty easy. What's difficult is looking for the spot closest to the school. For the Adalardo Boys and the Imogen Girls, they pretty much just have a short walk from their dorm, although most of them love showing off their expensive mobiles.
The library is seperated from the rest of the school for more concentration for the students. The library holds a couple of thousands of books, and you'd never have a problem looking for a specific book here. The library staff will be happy to help. If you're in need of some peace and quite (Although the library is pretty quiet), there are study rooms for you to use anytime.
Milton Mansions are top of the line. They are, after all, home to those who live large. The Mansions, on the least, are built on two acre lots, almost half the size of Cunningham. Theses estates don't come cheap, of course. These homes can cost up to a million dollars just in buying it.
Houses in Milton are fairly large, but very livable. Most houses are built with the same structure, which is the raised ranch structure, but some houses are different, as well. It all depends on how expensive the house is. There are quite a lot of neighborhoods, as well, considering Milton is a City, as well.
They're basically the same thing, except condominiums are actually bought. There are quite a lot of apartments and condominiums around Milton and New York, therefore there are a lot to go around. Manhattan apartments carry wonderful scenery of the city.
A popular coffee place offering various kinds of caffeine. The coffee house is seen right across the street from where the academy bus drops off the students. The coffee house is pretty small, so most students run for it once they get off the bus. Other's most likely just looks for another place.
This is an over 16 dance club, that sponsors underground bands and performers. They have shows every weekend, but unfortunately, only 16 year olds and older can come in. But hey, there are always fake IDs. This is a perfect place for rageing teenage hormones to cut loose. At rages like these, you just have to do what they say, have a chug and smile.
The plaza mall is the only mall that sells mostly anything. You can find everything here, be it clothes, books, kitchen appliances, and toys. This is a major hangout place during weekends for the academy kids, as most of them always have something in mind to buy.
What person would go to New York and not visit the world famous Central Park? Central Park is a huge park, and by huge, we mean HUGE. Measuring probably a few acres off four acres, Central Park is a great place to have picnics, feed the ducks, or just walk around.
Manhattan is basically one of the eight wonders of the world. The big apple- New York, New York. You can do anything here. Eat, Shop, and live the New York dream. It does get pretty crowded, though, and traffic is a killer. But then again, it is one of the most visited tourist spot in the world. Who wouldn't visit New York. After all, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
