Welcome to Gaia! ::

Anyone can play in this RP, but remember to play nice, children.

Academy is a way for everyone to interact a little easier than with the other RPGs. It's going to be pretty AU. It takes place in a boarding school that has a university attached to it. Instead of a war, I was thinking there could be gang rivalry (much like The Outsiders or West Side Story except that, obviously since it's a boarding school, the characters aren't just out on the street). The races and shapeshifting is still the same, just set in a different location.

I think that's all I need to say to set this up. I hope I got my idea across.

Arrakhdeen let out a crow of laughter as she walked down the steps out of the Chem lab, cell phone in one hand and an unlit cigarette in the other. "Alright babe, I'll talk to you later." She nodded into the phone, balancing it on her shoulder as she reached into her pocket to get a lighter. She laughed again into the phone. "Whore." She said with a roll of her black eyes before hanging up the phone, stuffing it carelessly into her pocket and lighting her Camel Frost cigarette. "Ah," she breathed with a smile. "Menthol." She spotted a bench not far and sat down, only noticing the bench's other occupant then. "Oh," she smiled at the girl. "Hi." She waved her cigarette in the air. "I hope you don't mind." It was half apology, half statement. If the girl got into her face about smoking she would get mean and then rude. If the girl asked her to put it out politely she would.

"Oh," Arrakhdeen said a bit sheepishly. "Sorry." She stubbed the cigarette out on the side of the bench, making sure it wasn't smoldering before dropping it onto the ground. She'd smoked fast so only a bit of the cigarette was lost and she still had her nicotine buzz. It along with her 'iced tea' made it a wonderful day. "I'm Arrakhdeen." She pronounced the name easily then offered a hesitent smile. "Air-a-dine." She said slowly, doubting the woman would get the harsh k or rolling r's of her name. "Or Arra," she said at last with a shrug. "Whichever os easiest for you." A bright smile was flashed before the pale skinned girl took a sip of her iced tea. "Who are you?"

Sia l'Amore walks toward the three gracefully, flipping her hair out of her face to show off the colour of her garnet eyes. "Well... Hello." She sighs as she curls her hair around a finger lazily.

She sighs, dropping her hair, "Then I shan't be one" she says and stiffly sticks out a cold pale hand. "I'm Sia l'Amore. Call me Sia if you like." Seeing his discomfort Sia says softly, "I can leave if that is what you wish. May I ask of your names?" Her gaze finally moves to the other two.

"I'm Aleema. And you're going, Kid," she said, standing up and grabbing Lucifer by the collar. "You're not skipping class on my watch.

"Sorry I couldn't talk longer," she added to Arra, and she half pushed/half dragged Lucifer in the direction of his next class.

"What? I don't. You're just not skipping on my watch," Aleema said, letting him go. "And I thought I told you not to talk to me."

"Awww... How cute. You have a crush," Aleema teased, reaching up to pat his head. She loved bugging him. He was like the little brother she had never had.
