The Awakening OOC

[liveonthestage]

Everything you have ever known is a lie. The teachers, the board of directors, even the books are lying to you. These memories you have been having? They tell us they are all fake, but what if there is more to it all? Do not listen to them. Do not confide in them. They are all liars.

They had never questioned the existance of the school, for everything they had ever known in all of their years of living layed within the walls of McGarthy's School of Higher Knowledge. Every child, they were told, was taken from those who begot them and placed in a government-facilitated school like McGarthy's and raised and taught there. Never before had they had a reason to question this or anyting they had been taught. Never, that is, until now.

The memories seem to rush in out of no where, cutting them from all contact with the outside world. The thing is, these memories aren't theirs...

However, it's the weird feelings that are the worst. Some students have strange sensations in their hands, and some become prone to horrible headaches. Others seem to be developing strange abilities...

The students begin noticing all the wholes in the story they have been told all their life, and begin questioning exactly what the school's purpose is.

Now is the time for the truth. Now is the time for an awakening...

(further description)

In this RPG, there is a group of students that attend McGarthy's School of Higher Knowledge who come to discover that all is not what it seems. What is really the reason they have been placed in this school, secluded from the outside world?

They have been told all their life that this is normal, that all children are removed from those that begot them (The word "parents" is not used. Students are taught that those that begot them are nothing more than that, nothing that they should feel anything for) and placed in a school just like theirs. But, when they begin having strange memories and develop interesting ablilities, they are caused to question everything about their existance.

(I know I pretty much just re-stated everything above, but I thought this helped clarify. If you have any other questions, just ask!)

1. Students Must follow restrictions of their class and rank.
2. Students may not undermine, disrespect, or question the authority of any faculty.
3. No student may benture outside the perimeter of the campus for any reason. Doing so will result in an automatic strip of rank.

All classes would be advanced courses. Pretty much anything you could think of

 

[Lessien]

Okie dokie

 

[Lessien]

Wait--do you want characters from all ranks, or would you prefer mostly high and middle ranks?

 

[liveonthestage]

All ranks

 

[liveonthestage]

Needed:
Students, male and female of all ranks
Teachers (teachers will work through pm quite a bit... somethings aren't for all students to know )

At a later time:
"Outsiders"

 

[Ellesar]

do you have any limit on how many characters we can have?

 

[liveonthestage]

Nope, as long as you can handle them I will be creating some teachers along with my (one) student

 

[Ellesar]

ok. I'd like to have a student and a teacher if possible. and maybe an outsider later on. lol

 

[Maul]

I'll join. I don't know if I am a serious writer, but.. yah.

Can I have two character?

One low, one high?

Question about abilities: Power abilities, or like, being able to rebel or something?

 

[liveonthestage]

ok. I'd like to have a student and a teacher if possible. and maybe an outsider later on. lol

Sounds like a good plan to me

And, Period, you may have two characters and developing abilities is the power that they are developing.

 

[Ellesar]

[liveonthestage]

Have fun with that!
