			            2: Rules 1. No Godmoding/ power playing/ auto-hitting. Call it what you want, just don't do it. 2. No killing other characters with out permission. 3. Avoid excessive cursing. This does not mean you can't curse, just don't do it every line, or even every other line. 4. PM me profiles with "the stars are waiting" in blue at the bottom (Guild too, please, but it doesn't have to be blue) 5. No cybering- take it to PMs. It should stay around pg- 14 in the RP 6. All Guild/Gaia rules apply. Some are just getting reiterated. 7. Be literate, please. *begging puppy dog eyes* You can use the astericks and stuff in OOC comments, but when In Character, use quotes and other Literate things. 8. No one liners- I understand the occasional one, for dramatics, or a bad day, but not  all the  time. 9. If you use a picture in your profile, don't use one that will stretch the page, please. If it is a large picture, link to it. Thanks. 10. Have Fun! 11. The 'Cheesy Speech Thing' is optional- you Do Not have to read it. But 'Setting' and 'The Story Begins' you do. (It isn't that much!!!!) 12.Rules are prone to be added to.

			            3: Setting It is the year 354 IS, and Humanity has branched out far from Terra. Mankind now commands an intergalactic federation that covers Six Galaxies, and few solar systems on the fringes of their boundaries. Aliens are not uncommon, and while there are Little Green Men with big black eyes, there are also feline humanoids, sentient rocks, whale-like creatures as advanced as Humans in space travel. Mankind's tendrils of diplomacy are far reaching indeed. You are a cadet, enrolled at the Naval Academy for training. Our story begins right before an intergalactic war breaks out, drawing the peaceful Academy and her students into war. While all cadets are trained to combat, the Academy is not meant for battle. Their main functions are exploration, diplomatic relations, and working as couriers for the Galactic Federation. But the war of 354 IS (space date, like BC and AD started in 4053 AD) changes everything. The borderland Academy becomes the main, and in essence only, opposition to the incessant, brutal attacks of the Shi'kanil, a highly advanced, individualistic peoples who have decimated and dominated whole galaxies. They out number Humanity and her allies five worlds to one. While awaiting the Glactic Fleet to send a division, the Academy is hardly helpless. Her students and teachers are the best trained in all the Federation, but there are only so many. Weekly skirmishes with the Shi'kanil could turn into a pricey business, and if too much time passes, the Federation's ships may find that there is no Academy to rescue. Will you survive?

			            8: Ranks and Uniforms Ranks:Each year, you get three Ranks in every class you took (provided you passed). You can earn extra credit and get ahead by as many as five ranks- if you're a total wiz at what you do. Remember, though, you have to actually spend time doing the work in game. If you want to get 8  total Ranks in one year, you'll have to actually  do something to get the ranks. Like PM me the the year Skylab launched, or the crew names of the Apollo one. You can also explain the Flight names I use, like  Hugi,  Munin, and  Ash- they all have meanings. (This doesn't apply to three or less ranks- to get them, just say you got the work from the teacher.) Ranks are useful. The more you have, the better your chances will be of survivng the war. Take advantage of the extra credit, it wouldn't be offered if it weren't at least moderately useful. Uniforms:Your basic uniform is a different color depending on your Focus Group. Communication Focused students wear  Orange.Artillery Focused students wear  BlackPilot/Flight Focused students wear  Dark BlueThe first applicants to any Feild get to decide the uniform color for their focus group. Said players,  Orange,  Black, and  Dark Blue are now off the available list. Your  Formal uniform, will be navy and sky blue.  Your  Flight Suit is similarly colored, navy blue on the outside, with a sky blue center stripe, about seven inches wide from collar to sole. Around your left arm is an inch and a half band in a dark red hue that declares your Flight Ranks -and thus your skill- and your wing.  (Example: A Year Two, Season One cadet in flight Hugi will have a black bird embroidered on the red band, with a green number 3 indicating that s/he has completed three semesters of Flight.)

			            Liev sneezed once again at the table he was sitting at and eating lunch, alone.  Usally he sat alone, but now the reason was that he was sneezing and being sick where they were was bad, it could mean getting the rest of the people there sick. But Liev complain to them that he wasnt sick and wouldnt go to the hospital wing to get a check up. 
  He sighed and put down the food he didnt finish on the tray, not hungry much. Liev lifted the tray and tossed the trash into a garbage container, setting the tray ontop of the container and leaving the cafetera, sneezing again. He turned a corner, walking down the left hallway in search of room 101, his dorm.

			            Kai yawned as he walked away from the inaugiration ceremony.  He heard it was dull but damn...  he hit his dorm just to throw off his uniform and put on something more comfortable before slipping back out again.  He only arrived here yesterday so he was aching to look around for a bit.  The Academy seemed fun but the town sounced much more entertaining.  
  After a bit of a walk he blended in with a crowd and gasped at all the stores.  His been in the military all his life, he wondered how civilians had fun.  He came across a video arcade and got inline to some popular VR fighter game.  When it finally got to him, he was pitted against a hologram for him to do battle with.  He beat one opponent, then another, then the next.  He wowed the onlookers over and over.  He finally beat the game and walked out to applause by a few onlookers.  Kai just smirked.  "It wasnt that hard." he muttered.

			            A girl of about 5'5" stood in a small dorm standing infront of the mirror there. She tugged on her orange uniform. Her caring, happy brown eyes blinked. 'Wow...' She had waited to be able to wear this uniform for all her life. She smiled. She turned in a quick circle sending her long brown hair, tied up in two pony tails on the sides of her head, to swirl outward. She soon became dizzy and fell onto her bed where her dog, Kia, a very, very, large golden retriver slept. Kia lifted a groggy head and licked her face. Aki giggled and smiled. "Come on Kia!" She called and opened the door walking out. Kia jumped off the bed and trotted off after her. The door closed with a slam. 
  Aki walked into the large dinning hall and was almost knocked over by the noise. She couldnt believe how many recruits there were.*  She looked at the large room filled with cadets. She went and grabbed a tray. She got herself lunch and found a table with only a few people. She sat down with them and started talking. 
  ((*yea right. -_-))

			            Apon entering the dorm came a smell pf his flowers that he grew in there, it made him smile besides the fact that he was sneezing every minute or so, he enter the dorm. Liev glanced at his surrounding, seeing that he didnt make his bed or do the dishes in the sink for about since he started to get this sneeze, being to weak to do the basic stuff he usally did. He ignored the things again and went to the sink, moving a few dishes to fill up a cup that he used to water the plants. Earlier that day he got a notice that said he might get a room mate becuase of the new amount of people at the academy.

			            ((Okay- I'm running this RP (kind of)  like eviltwinears is running his bright shiny happy dead place- by letting the characters do everything, and throwing out posts that direct the plot. So....
  After the Characters run around and meet each other, get extra credit work, and other first day etc. I'll move the plot forward roughly four weeks to the first major plot point. You'll have learned basic skills and piloting, but not flown a real mecha -called an M3 P.E.T. (it's based off the Macross Valkyrie.)- Week four is day one in the mechs. And I recommened you do the extra credit- it'll be useful becuase it builds skill and allows your characters to be able to do more.))

			            Kai wasted a bit more of his money at some more games in the arcade.  He did pretty good with a gun game, not so good with a console... oh well it didnt matter as long as he passed the time.  He went out of the place and got himself a burger and a soda.  He sat down to enjoy it before raising up and started walking again.  He went through the economic district where stores and shops used hi tech holograms to sell their wares.  Kai wondered how it would look during the nightime phase.  He past a few shops.  Most of what he found was for women.  He liked a few of them, now if he only had a girlfriend who could try them on.
  He didnt spend anymore of his money as decided to head back to the academy.  He could into town anytime.  He might as well get some friends while he was restless.  First to go back to his dorm to prop his feet up however when he got there he saw a not on his door.  He was being reassigned to a new room and a room mate.  He didnt care as long as they werent annoying.
