On Cuwen's suggestion, making this thread as guide to how the new Spektral will be set up. Anyone with the power to do so, feel free to edit this post to include or strike out information. All images should be thumbnails or links, no full-sized pictures in this first post, please.


    SPEKTRAL REBOOT OUTLINE

    Great promotional line that attracts RPers: "It's like X-Men on a floating island."

    Genre:
  • supernatural powers
  • fantasy
  • high school/college
  • action/adventure
  • romance
  • fantasy

    Setting:
  • time period?
    - I like modern for this, or futuristic. Have you ever heard of Shadowrun? It's a dicepool based game that's set in 2072. It's a pretty awesome setting.
    - It would say modern, but with futuristic properties, due in part that certain gifted students have the ability to modify technology to beyond what is humanly capable, even for modern day standard, [called and thus this would explain the invisible barrier, and maybe even the floating aspect [although we can also suggest that someone is keeping it up with their mind], restricted and authorized airspace [that's right, Spektral owns the air and land/water below the actual islands, and everything within the area of the size of Rhode Island.],
  • floating (are we positive about this?) island that's invisible (need a semi-plausible handwave for that)
    - single floating island in the middle of several floating islands that surround it. The floating islands are for exploring and can be traveled to either by flying, a flying school bus, teleportation, ((I still support having an airplane hanger-sized teleporter take the students there, either on an aircraft carrier, or BETTER YET in a waterfront warehouse, something with at least 50,000 sq ft. so that massive amounts of people can be transported, and that the doors open only to student's with the right papers.)). or via portals at different points located on the main central island. Portals are available on the ground for students to use to get to the school. Buses can also take them.
    - Sounds a bit like "Sky High." I like the idea though. There's likely to be quite a few students who can fly. It would make fun RP for students trying to sneak off campus.
    - ((You had to bring up "Sky High"... stare ))
    - [collor=teal]Yeah. I did. xP
  • how are the school buildings arranged?
  • map?
    - Perhaps I can help with this? If someone else doesn't get to it first of course...

    Plot:
  • may or may not need a plot, if we prefer to go open-ended and detail the setting enough to allow people to explore. otherwise, we need some sort of small arc to kickstart the beginning until people develop their own subplots.
    - Possible small plot: vengeful spirits from students and faculty that died violently
    - Possibly: A strange ailment has been affecting students and faculty and staff alike. Only a small few seem unaffected. No one has died from the illness yet, but no one's completely recovered from it either.
    ((Good ideas, although keep thinking. I know its there. Here's some good ideas, that won't make it seem as if he's just building up an army to combat the forces of darkness and the rival school [One note and shallow]. ))

    Characters:
  • teachers + faculty
    - Magical creatures teacher played by Cuwen
    - Jerky teacher played by welian? (was mentioned once) [darkviolet]<--- I think you could pull this one off actually Lizz.
    - Allen, headmaster [darkviolet] Would require some getting back into character, I've changed a lot since I last roleplayed as Allen.
    - The Matron [Task Mistress and keeper of the Girl's dorms. She is pretty much an office secretary with too much power.] played by Foxxenne D. ((Sounds like fun. Would love to create some shenanigan scenes and see how she'd react.))
    - Bwahahahahah~! Yes.
  • college students
    - male student played by Cuwen
    - Taddie and Foxxenne played by Foxxenne D.
  • high school students
    - Amy played by Cuwen
    - Hobby Club? [Founded by Taddie and Foxxenne when they were in HS.]
  • what races are allowed?
    - Perhaps all races are technically the same old human, but because of certain abilities/afflictions and physical differences, they're referred to as mythical creatures [ex: Elves, Demons/Devils, Vampires, etc.]? That way we don't get anyone trying to play immortals. This way, everything becomes a sub-race or category to describe the character's general appearance and abilities instead. Example: Vampires, they have a strong allergy to the sun and/or garlic and heal quickly if they ingest blood. It is assumed that human blood works and tastes the best to them, but animal bloods work as well. It has to be fresh from a living creature.
    ((Shall we also include martians and zombies into the mix?
    That'd be good. Since... Well. They're not immortal and the whole immortal races have the chance for ridiculous god-mod possibilities.
    Rules:
  • ways to curb godmodding?
    - have each RPer list two fault their character has in their profile
    - List both physical and mental weaknesses/flaws of your characters. [two or more as already suggested] and everyone must be mortal. We can also set up a ranking system similar to one I'd made before. If asked, I can set up an example/explanation of the idea.
  • Liz, is your friend going to be in charge of accepting profiles and RPers?
    - I think I'll do it, but I am going to ask her to if she'll help design the profile.
    - Let me know when there's a RPC Skele up.

    Thread:
  • who is going to create the roleplay thread?
    - Depends. If we're posting the profiles on the same thread as the IC RP, Liz should since she's handling profiles. If not, Liz can make an RPC thread and I or Cuwen or someone can handle the IC thread.
  • are we making an ooc thread to go with it? separate profile thread too?
    - yes for OoC thread!
  • link to search/recruit thread that I've been bumping.
    - I like the idea of separate profile, IC, OOC threads. If we do the profile thread here, we crew members and vice captains can maintain the profiles in case one of us doesn't have time to take care of it. The top posts of the IC thread and the OOC threads won't need as much maintenance though, so we won't have to worry about it as much.

    RPers:
  • Should we make a list of who all we're thinking of inviting to the RP?
    - Not a public list, but something would be smart.

Final Product

INTRODUCTION

Welcome students to Spektral Academy for the Gifted. We are glad to have you and hope your stay here proves satisfactory. Here on the islands, you will be expected to live and learn accordingly. Please follow all our school rules and DO NOT under any circumstances wander off into The Forest. Instead, there are many other places on campus for students to visit. Besides the Academic District, the Remang Islands are host to a full community of welcoming natives. During your stay here there will be regular visits during free hours during the week for students to visit the local towns for shopping, fun and time away from their studies. For these tips students will ride a bus down with a chaperone and a map detailing the parts of the town they may travel. Please follow the maps accordingly as it is most respectful to the locals.

SETTING

Spektral is located on the main island of the Remang Islands, a group of floating islands positioned above the Pacific Ocean. It is a majestic campus that spreads across much of the biggest island. The campus is divided into Four Divisions: The High School, College, Administrative and Residential. Outside the campus walls is a small local village called Tiir'den. Under a faculty chaperon, students are permitted to visit this and a few other villages on the surrounding islands. Though there are a few exceptions.

PLOT

Currently at Spektral, you'll find the students hard at work, going through the middle of their school year. Life is calm and uneventful so feel free to enjoy the peace, make new friends, catch up with old ones and for Gods sake, do your homework!

Updates will be given as the plot develops. Keep an eye out here for what's current and what's already happened!

    Thank you so much for setting this up! I'll put stuff in the list above that I know so far, but please anyone feel free to cross it out or delete it if I get anything wrong.

    Added some edits of my own, primarily the search thread I've been using and thumbnails of possible scenery pictures to use.

    Why don't we make a list of the RPers we're thinking about in the Crew subforum. I could get it started if you want.

    Awesome! Great to see you here again, Foxxy! I have to go to an anime convention, but you can ask one of the guys on Skype to hit me up on my phone if you have any pressing questions.

    Hey all! I"m sorry for the OoC in the middle of the story, but I want to explain my absence and encourage some RPers that seem to be stuck. I'm sorry I've been absent. My computer stopped working yesterday. I took it to a computer store, and apparently the port in the back of my computer is messed up. Since it's an MSI and is still under warranty, I'll have to send it in. But my cousin has let me borrow one of her laptops! So I'll be able to come on here regularly again.

    And Chris! I wish you'd come back and help us.

    We'll have to come back and add the stuff from Titanpad into here.
