Steering Charter School [[O/A]]

Steering Charter School

Steering Charter School (also called Steering, Steering Charter or SCS) is a co-educational, independent boarding school designed specifically for secondary schooling and postgraduates. Originally, Steering had been designed for exclusive male use, but in 1970, that all changed with the enrolling and attendance of 39 female students; now, it's student body boasts roughly equal numbers of both sexes. Because of this advent of females, the dean was forced to change the school's previous slogan (Huc venite, pueri, ut viri sitis) to include females as well: Hic quaerite pueri puellaeque virtutem et scientiam.

Its sprawling campus is spread out across 619 acres, 80 klicks north of the city of Cheshire. Many times over, Steering has been praised for its Harkness educational system, in which classes are taught seminar style. Classes are held Monday through Saturday, although Wednesday and Saturday are considered half-days. Steering uses an 11 point grading system where an "A" is worth 11 points and an "E" is worth 0. Steering has a student to teacher ratio of 5:1. The vast majority of the faculty has an advanced degree in their chosen fields.

Students are required to attend courses in the arts, classical or modern languages (their choice) computer science, English heath & human development, history, mathematics, religion, and of course, science. In the past, the majority of the students obtained a normal diploma; they all had a chance to obtain a classical diploma instead. As it is a coed boarding school, the male and female students are of course kept in separate dorms at night; the females in habit the 100 to 201 block in the East Building while the males in habit the 100 to 201 block in the West building.

On top of the required courses, the student body is also required to wear a uniform, representing the school's colors and styles. For boys, the uniform consists of pressed, grey trousers, a pressed short sleeved white shirt (with collar and school logo on the pocket), a dark green blazer (with school logo on the pocket) and a school tie; their shoes are expected to be of black leather and their socks, plain white and short cuffed. For girls, it is a bottle green tartan skirt, with a white, (pressed and collared) short sleeved shirt with the school logo on the pocket and a school tie. As with the boys, their shoes must also be of black leather and the socks again be white and short cuffed. The uniform was designed to be visually appealing and designed to foster school identity, develop school pride and present a positive image to the community.

-------------

That being said...Welcome to SCS! It is a boarding school for both young men and woman. It is a prestigious school that money can't always buy your way into. You need something more, something special like a gift for music or math. Those looking to develop or expand their skills oft end up at the school. Students are allowed to wander into the nearby town as long as they do not cause a scene, as the school is looked rather highly upon for its academics.

Students in attendance have their basic academic classes in the morning followed by their individualized studies after lunch. They are expected to maintain good grades in all areas of study at the risk of being kicked out of the school.

XXX► Lιʈєɾα¢y
This is a semi-literate to literate RP. This seems needless to say, but no *asterisks* or -dashes- for actions, and no emotes for emotions. I want you to write your posts up like you're writing a novel. So speech will go in "quotation marks", thoughts will be italicized and any OoC will go in double brackets { }, [ ], or (( )). Your choice. I understand a few mistakes but make sure we know what you are saying and do not use this as an excuse to mess up.

► Wђσ I Rєαℓℓy Λɱ

Who I am
→ Emerson is practically the opposite of his twin, though he shares his sister's arrogance, amorality, and striking good looks, he is much more reckless and easily amused. Where she is quiet and sly, he is loud and obvious in his intentions.

My Likes
→ Loud music
→ Hot summer days
→ Sports
→ Heroin

My Dislikes
→ Quiet people
→ Musicals
→ Losing

My Fears
→ Death and drowning

What Happened to Me
→ Unlike Amelia, Emerson was the golden boy of his mother's eye. He was as much doted upon by her as Amelia was ignored. As as much as Amelia was doted upon by their father was he ignored by the man. He is older then his twin by approximately three minutes, for which he never, ever lets his sister forget, much to Amelia's ire. Emerson is an immensely talented football player, being rated the MVP every year on his premium club team. In one game, he scored three goals in a row, earning him the epitaph of "hat trick." Football isn't his only sport, but it is his second true love; the first being his twin. Over the years, Emerson had fought many a battle and bloodied many a nose in order to keep her safe and sound. He did not take it kindly when people tried to hurt his other half.

When he turned thirteen, his world was abruptly yanked about when he and Amelia were shipped away to SCS. As much as he sorrowed to see his old world ripped away, he was at least glad that his twin wasn't about to abandon him. When they arrived at their new home, however, he was dismayed to see that he and Amelia were not only not sharing a room (as they had since they were mere infants) but was clear on the other side of campus! Slowly, he grew accustomed to not having the reassuring steady breath of his sister breathing beside him at night.

Who I am

/color] Kale is a calmer spirit than his younger cousin, but he is very protective and loyal to those he is close to. He is always the type of guy anyone can confide in and rely on for any type of good advice. He is very intelligent and a straight A student, as well as well rounded athlete and musician. He is very respected at Steering, and is one of the guys that girls usually “crush” on. He is suave and chrismatic, but not a playboy, because he is very sensitive to a girls feelings, and prefers that they are honest and will let him know if anything isn’t right.

My Likes
→ Music
→ Football
→ History

My Dislikes
→ Dishonesty
→ Sluts
→ Whinning

My Fears
→ Losing his younger cousin → Fire
→ Losing his scholarships

What Happened to Me
→ Kale lives in a very affluent household, with his father, Charlie; His mother, Anita, and his younger brother and sister: Derik, who is 12, and Annelise who is 8. He also shares his home with his two younger cousins, Bianca and Abigail who lost their parents in an arson started fire. When his Aunt and Uncle died in the fire, he had been visiting and managed to escape before he inhaled too much smoke. (He and Bianca frequently switched houses on and off, since his father and his aunt (who was his father’s youngest sister)had been very close). He had been in the hospital for a couple weeks, and got with only a few burns left to heal, and ever since, he has watched out closely for his younger siblings and especially Bianca and Abigail. He also aquired a secret fear of fire that night.

► Mσɾє ση Mє

Something Else You Ought to Know
→ Although also very flirty, he is NOT a playboy, or “manwhore” so to speak. He is very protective and tries his hardest to make sure he is there for his best friend and cousin whenever she needs him.

Who I Like

► Wђσ I Rєαℓℓy Λɱ

Who I am
→ Amelia is shy when she does not know you and when she gets to know you or you get to know her she will be more on the sly side. She is curious and that usually gets her in trouble. She is very envious of the people around her when she is not paying too much attention around her. Amelia sometimes acts as if she is two totally different people her parents just said she was crazy. Amelia can be kind and caring when there is not something that she really wants in the deal. She is sly and sometimes childish.

My Likes
→ Rain
→ Snow
→ Sweets
→ Heroin

My Dislikes
→ Rude People
→ Bitter food
→ Loud noises

My Fears
→ Death and heights

What Happened to Me
→ Amelia was of course born in a rich family and like all rich families she was ignored by her mother. Her father was very much interested in her, though making sure that she was always happy. This changed though for a short time when her family lost their money and Amelia slowly started seeing her stuff go away. At age five her oldest sibling passed away as their money started to come back; it wasn't even close to what they'd had before, however. Her mother blamed her for her brother's death thinking only of the money that she would not have. Amelia kept to herself looking as she saw people only seeing what they had and what she wanted. That was when Amelia started to loose herself. At around six her mother started to notice something about Amelia, she had rapid mood swings that seemed to switch very often. There was also the look that was in Amelia's eyes when she looked at stuff. After awhile Amelia even made her mother go crazy. Through it all, her twin brother, Emerson stayed by his sister's side loyally. When all turned against Amelia, calling her horrid names, Emerson kept Amelia sheltered from the worst of it. Finally though, the family would have it no longer and they shipped both her and Emerson (because she refused to go without him) off to SCS.

► Mσɾє ση Mє

Something Else You Ought to Know

► Wђσ I Rєαℓℓy Λɱ

Who I am
→ Bianca is a very outgoing, energetic, but sensitive artist. She can often be found helping out with theatre sets or on the stage itself, even though she is more of a “behind the scenes” girl. Intelligent and logical, she usually gets good grades and gets along with most people. Her temper, although, is something of which to fear, even though she is usually calm and collected.

My Dislikes

My Fears
→ Blood

What Happened to Me
→ Bianca grew up in a semi-affluent family. She had helped out around the house and was the “main babysitter” of her younger siblings. That is, until they died in an arson started fire when she and her sister Abigail were away at their Uncle’s mansion in California. She was 11, and Abigail was 8. Three years later, Bianca transferred to SCS while her sister remained homeschooled. Every summer, She goes “home” to her uncle’s mansion to live with Abigail, her Uncle Charlie and her Aunt Anita {His Wife} and their sons Derik {12}, Kale {18, who also attends Steering}, and their Daughter Annelise {8}.

► Mσɾє ση Mє

Something Else You Ought to Know

20/6/10 Steering Charter School is officially open! ^.^

 

[The Diamond God]

Amelia Valentine

Amelia hurried out to the football pitch on the rear of the campus. Practice was almost over and she wanted to see Emerson before he had to return to classes. She breathed a sigh of relief to see the boys still scrimmaging by the time she got down to the bleachers; Emerson looked away from his passing partner, Kale Something or Other, as if he knew she was there. He broke away from the practice, ignoring the calls of the people behind him when he saw her. Amelia pulled the apple flavored lollipop out of her mouth.

"Hey, Em."

She greeted him with a smile and a quick, chaste kiss on the cheek. Amelia wanted to hug him, but he was still rather sweaty from practice and she didn't want to soil her uniform. Behind them, the coach called for the end of the practice. I got here too late...

"That's it boys! We're done for today."

"I gotta go."

"Oh, just another minute?"

Emerson look tempted, but shook his head and pulled away when he saw the coaches giving him a look.

"Sorry...I'll talk to you tonight. Meet me in commons before lights out."

He took off after the rest of the team for their warm down laps, making Amelia feel very...alone suddenly. She put her sucker back into her mouth and watched the boys for another few minutes before deciding to return to the school proper. They were half way through their first trimester and it was almost that time of year again: papers were due, projects were being assembled and students were preparing for their first break away from SCS. About two-thirds or so of the student body went home on breaks. Amelia and Emerson were in the one-third category who stayed at the school year round.

 

[songbird1676]

Kale Gregory Hallard

"GOOOOAAAALLLLLLLL!"

The announcer boomed over the speakers as the ball shot past him (he being the keeper) and made a swishing sound as it went into the goal.

"Damn...."

They were in the middle of a scrimmage, and Kal was about to kick the ball back out into play when the coach called practice and told the team to hit the showers. He tossed Emerson, his co-captain, a smile as he jogged to the locker rooms. He knew the guy was close to his sister, and decided to let them alone to talk. He needed to catch up with his cousin in a few anyways.

After washing up, he changed back into his uniform, and went out to where the dance team was practicing, and therefore spotting his cousin. The girl in the dead center of the routine......

Bianca Michelle Smith

Blonde hair flowed behind her as she moved across the floor with ease. No matter the song or the tempo, she seemed to almost be a child prodigy when it came to dance. Although she still had her mess ups....she had just been a dancer since her toddler years.

After time was called, she looked over and saw her cousin, her face instantly lighting up.

"KAL!"

She ran over and threw her arms around him.

"What's going on tonight, do you know? What about that Emerson guy who's on the football team with you? He's pretty hot...."  

[The Diamond God]

Amelia Valentine

Amelia was half way to the main school building when she heard someone running behind her. Emerson? She stopped and turned; true enough, it was her better half. Amelia smiled and gave him a hug. He'd showered and changed back into his uniform; she thought he smelled wonderfully like sandalwood. I love his soap. On more then one occasion, Amelia had stolen his soap and used it herself; it made her think of him, when he wasn't near her. Over Emerson's shoulder, she could see the dance team practicing; for once they were outside, in the open air. They're running late today. Amelia stepped back from her twin, and pulled her lollipop from her mouth.

"You were good today, Em."

Emerson's book bag was looped delicately over a shoulder. His ball and his other sports equipment was stored away in his locker in the field house. His other set of practice things were stashed in his dorm room. He shook his head.

"Nah; I was sloppy. I missed a couple of easy goals."

"I didn't see them."

"Thank goodness. Can't have my own twin think ill of my prowess."

Emerson was cocky, but he'd earned it; there was a reason he was called "hat trick," a reason he was the center striker, a reason he'd brought the Steering football team to new found status. He'd've been the captain of the team, but that title was saved for the Keeper. Em smiled and stole Amelia's sucker, popping it into his mouth. She frowned at him.

 

[songbird1676]

Kale Gregory Hallard

Kale smirked.

"You want me to introduce you, don't you?"

Bianca blushed,

"I mean...if you don't mind...."

Kale chuckled.

"Fine. I'll introduce him to you tonight, alright?"

Bianca grinned,

"Thanks Kal!"

She gave him a peck on the cheek and skipped her way back to her dorm to clean up and put on something cute.

Kale chuckled and shook his head,

"Girls..."

He then went off to find Emerson and ask him if he was willing to meet his cousin tonight. When he found him, he was with his twin.

"Hey Em....what're you up to tonight? My cousin and I were going to get some pizza and probably have a movie night in one of the common rooms, if you two were interested?"  

[The Diamond God]

Emerson Valentine

Emerson turned away from Amelia when he heard Kale come up from behind; he therefore missed her slight look of annoyance, at the football captain's interruption. She did not like Kale especially. Amelia though he was loud, and obnoxious, and really didn't deserve the title of captain. Emerson, however, did not have such qualms; he pulled Amelia's sucker from his mouth, nodding.

"Sure, we'll be there. Which common room? The girls, or the guys?"

Males and females were generally not supposed to mingle, when they were by the dorm rooms. However, on the ground floor of both dorm buildings, there were mingling rooms where both sexes could hang out and relax; the rooms had at least two televisions and six couches, not to mention the countless coffee tables and coffee chairs. There was almost always a teacher on duty, to make sure the sexes played nice together.

 

[songbird1676]

Kale Gregory Hallard

"Guys common room. I think we may be watching 'Underworld', but I could be wrong."

He smiled,

"But we were going to head for pizza first,an hour or so after classes get out at the new pizza parlor across campus. I've heard good things about it. Meet us in the middle of the courtyard maybe forty-five minutes after classes so we can walk there?"

Bianca, you better love me for this. I'm doing you a favor.....


[TIME SKIP TO THAT EVENING}

Bianca Michelle Smith

Bianca hummed happily as she got herself ready. She promised Kal she's meet him in the center of the school courtyard in forty-five minutes, so they could walk to the pizza parlor together.

Soon enough, she was ready, with 15 minutes left to spare. Dressed in her uniform (much to her dismay), she put her hair in a cute side pony-tail complimented with some cute daisy earrings and a simple silver locket choker that Kal bought her on their last trip to the European Islands. After putting on very little makeup, so that it looked natural, she headed out to the courtyard where she was to meet Kal.  

[The Diamond God]

Emerson Valentine

Emerson breezed through their final classes, only have paying attention. He was one of those annoyingly intelligent people; the kind that don't have to think or work at his status, much, if at all. When they'd finished, he split off from Amelia to go to his own room to get ready. By which, it meant a fifteen minute shower, a fresh spray of cologne, and a new uniform. He finished with time to spare and managed to write off a paper on Charlemagne before it was time to go to the party...thing. Down in the courtyard, he spotted Kale and Bianca; Emerson made a "b" line to them, a smile already on his face.

"Hey Kal. Hey Bianca."

Emerson tended to stray outside of his normal social group, simply because he was at the top of food chain; he could and often did, slum, so to speak. He knew nearly anyone there was to know, in the school. That is to say, anyone with money. No one associated with the *staffers, except other staffers. And no one even thought of associating themselves with the scholarship kids.

[*Children of the staff. They get free tuition, because of their parents.]

 

[The Diamond God]

Amelia Valentine

Amelia and Emerson split ways with Kale to go finish their lessons for the day; the two twins had nearly every class together, by design. She did not like to be away from him for any length of time; it made her feel...uneasy. After they finished their classes for the day, she dropped back into her dorm room for a quick shower. Her roommate, Caroline, was snorting lines of a white powder off of her desk when Amelia stepped out of the shower, wrapped up in her fluffy green towel; she assumed it was coke. Amelia ignored Caroline and dressed in a clean, pressed uniform.

She left her hair down, but kept it out of her face with a modest Alice Band. She hurried out of the dorm room with only a minute to spare until it was time to go to the party. From across the courtyard, she could see Kale and Bianca talking. She didn't know Bianca personally, but they shared a class or two, she thought. Truth be told, they did not exactly run in the same social circles; Amelia was of a...higher caliber. She made a face when she saw Emerson joining them. a*****e jock. There was nothing left to do, but meet and greet. She walked over to the trio, linking an arm through Emerson's.

"Hullo."

Bianca smiled warmly at Amelia.

"Hullo, I'm Bianca...I've heard a lot about you, good things of course."

Bianca was a nice person with an easy going, laid back personality, but was outgoing and upbeat when she was up to it.

"So...I guess we should head over to the pizza parlour?"

She smiled at Emerson, and then walked with them to the parlour.

Kale Gregory Hallard

Kale smiled. He playfully punched Bianca in the shoulder, to which she retorted with a lazy slap on his arm, as if to say.

yeah, yeah. shut up.

They reached the front doors and he opened the door for Amelia and Bianca and they went in to immediatley seat themselves, as the sign right inside the door said they should, Amelia and Emerson side by side, and Kale across from Amelia, and Bianca across from Emerson.
