Type of Game: Fantasy, Action, Comedy, Romance
After hundreds of years of persecution from the Untapped humans, William Gygax, known as the most powerful Tapped human and even stronger than the Races in all history, started an academy for the Tapped and Races in 1792. Gygax was powerful enough that he could completely conceal the school, for he had the majority of abilities- abjuration, conjuration, illusion, divination evocation, enchantment, and transmutation, where as the majority of Tapped and Races had only one or two of these.
It’s August, and the year is 2010, and William Gygax Academy is still open, although now thought to be a school for the brilliant and privileged, which is why several spoiled, bratty, rich children have been turned away. The Academy, as known to the pupils, is both a safe haven and a serious teaching facility. All the attendants are in by scholarships according to the government, but it is the government after all, so what would they know? The William Gygax Academy was built on privately owned land in rural England, although, nowadays, most of the students are foreigners from other countries.
The school year has begun, the classes will soon start, and students from the ages 11-17 are being settled in their dorms. What strange events will unfold this year?
ONE MONTH EARLIER
It’s mid July, and school is starting soon, with only a few weeks left to blow off. One day, you get a package in the mail, and it’s the same yearly package they send every year. Inside is a thick plastic bound book with the words ‘Student Handbook’ written on the front. You decide to open it and read it.
Student Handbook
Hello, and welcome to William Gygax Academy, the boarding school for the Tapped and the Races. This is your student handbook, and it will guide you through your experience at The Academy.
Gary Gygax was perhaps the most…
You read a little about the school former before you reach the table of contents, which you ignore. You flip a few pages to find what the abilities are, and a summary of each….although they are all horribly optimistic and most definitely looks as if it were meant for those with serious humor malfunctions and little children.
Seeming as you have an ability, you must want to know more about it! Now, each is equally as powerful as the next, so the rumors of some are most definitely false. Let’s take a look at them, shall we?
Abjuration- this intriguing ability provides the carrier of it to cast powerful protection upon others, items, or even themselves! This is a purely defensive ability, and it is most definitely a necessity.
Conjuration- this ability grants the carrier the gift of summoning of…well…just about everything! From your fuzzy pink slippers to a magical beast to aid you to a Tylenol for that headache, conjuration is just the thing to get you out of a jam! (Or to get you some)
Divination- this mysteriously unique ability is stimulating to the brain…and current gossip! –At this, you let out a snort like laugh- the carriers can predict the future, find the hidden things(or lost ones), and even learn long lost secrets! This helps the carrier detect their opponent’s intentions.
Enchantment- a very rare ability to come by, enchantment is very exclusive in its powers! One with this ability can influence the thinking and behavior of those around them!
Evocation- this is very exotic! A carrier of this ability can manipulate energy or tap unseen sources of energy to produce a desired end. In essence… you can create something out of nothing!
Illusion- this deceiving yet striking ability is truly fiendish! With it, you can deceive the senses and minds of others.
Invocation- invoke the powers of the basic elements with this nifty power! Now that’s a way to get the garden done!
Necromancy- Often mistaken among human cultures to be evil, it is actually quite benign. While you can manipulate the powers of the dead and unliving, you can also invoke massive healing and save many people- including yourself!
Transmutation- Also known as transfiguration, this shifty ability can change the properties of some creature, thing or condition! A great way to make the school’s boiled broccoli taste like chocolate, as well as that mean person into a fuzzy gerbil!
You breathe a sigh of relief, thanking that the ordeal of the schools is over, and you move on to the general rules.
Now a school wouldn’t work without rules, so here are some basic ones to keep every one safe and happy! ‘Yeah…right…’ you say, sarcastically.
1) No means of bodily harm to any student or teacher is tolerated out side of the Duel Room.
2) School uniforms-here, you remember to buy uniforms- are to worn until dinner on Mon, Wed and Fri, except during duels, and until first dueling hour during Tues and Thurs. Uniforms are not required over weekends.
3) No flying, floating, flaming, or any other means of using your abilities to travel faster in corridors.
4) Girls stay in girl’s dorms, and boys in boys.
5) No PDA WHATSOEVER.
You laugh at the last few, for these are hardly followed. And only the dormitory rule is the rule you really worry getting caught at, so you move on, quickly, skipping a few words here and there.
6) Girls…lavatories…boy’s lavatories…
7) Respect the skeletons…easily breakable… wouldn’t want… dracoliches…eat you…
cool Don’t touch…cook hates to …pot…food is not gross when…
You don’t pay attention to the rest, and flip through the book. You find a description of dormitory set ups.
Dormitories
BE SAFE! The dormitories co-ed, but any room violations will be punishable by the Caretaker and their choice of punishment, which has little boundaries.
1) Rooms each have four living spaces, and a bathroom.
2) All students must be residing in their respective genders rooms (FEMALES IN FEMALE ROOMS, AND VICE VERSA!).
3) Students must reside in recommended age groups
These age groups are:
6th- 8th
8th -9th
9th -10th
10th-11th
11th-12th
You don’t pay attention to the rest, and set down the book. You pick up a list of the schedules that was in your package, and read it.

Hi. Just sos ya know...im REALLy picky. hehehe. And, i take a very long time to say very simple things...SUMIMASEN!!!! >.<
...
I deeply encourage you to make the biography part of your Character at least 5 sentences long. After all, the biography is your characters life story. This does not, however, mean that characters of other players know your own character’s biography, just the player themselves. You may reveal more about your characters past to players as the game progresses, although I believe it is both childish and stupid to make it up as you go, but that’s just me. I like to play with players who have thoroughly developed characters. The biography can also include things that the character doesn’t even know about him self, but it’s in there simply for the fact to say that that’s what happened.
Rules
1) OCC/OOC comments must either be made in double parentheses [((…))] or under a subtitle that says OOC (or OCC if you prefer). If you choose the latter method to start your posts, it is requested you re-enter character mode under another subtitle that says ICC.
2) This rule is in addition to the one above. Never make a bland post. Such as- “He sat down, sulking over his girlfriend’s comments.” Say something at least halfway decent. “He sat down upon the soft grass, which was growing greener as spring came closer, and he watched the clouds curiously, pondering the words his girlfriend abruptly shouted to him.”
3) NO godmoding. If my posts seem to do that, I apologize. Say this is typed: "The brilliantly colored hazy wave formed into an imperial dragon before hitting him." This means that the attacks power turned into a dragon shaped form before coming close enough to harm him, so he can either dodge, find away to block or even get hit by the blast in order to make the game more interesting.
5) This is not an adult game (much less website), but you may use mild suggestive themes, mild sexual comments, drug and alcohol use, violence, blood, gore and limited use of profanity (don’t use the F word every other sentence). This means: if two of you plan to have your characters sleep together, or even if it just randomly happens, MILD hardcore stuff (that includes character homosexuality....Robin isn’t going to start dating Batman, much less bang him, okay?). Say:"...and they slipped into bed together for the night, enjoying it tremendously." I will tolerate some hardcore, such as limited fondling and intense kissing and sensations. (Yes- that might sound very cheesy and a bit weird but I’m not taking any super risks that might lose me my game, because I worked hard on it.)
PROFILE SET UP(send ME your finished profile please, so i can post it and tell you if there are any errors. ^-^)
Name:
Alias:
Race:
Age:
Year:
Abilities:
Height:
Dorm sad NO TEACHERS HERE! ERASE THIS TOO!)

BODY STRUCTURE is you’re strength and speed, stuff like that. If you’re a girl, you can put how your figure is shaped
DORM: Mrs. Applebarrel will eat you if your a boy in a girls room...
CASUAL APPEARANCE can be either a description or a picture, or both. If your characters picture isn’t quite what you had in mind, you can always type a few sentences explaining what’s missing.
WEAPONS is what they’re arm with. They use these in the Duel room.
BIOGRAPHY is their life story. More may be revealed later.
