Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kvetha fricia, greetings,


As I'm sure you know, I am Albert Zephyr of the Official Legend of Dragoon Guild. I am the foremost professor of the School for Rping - Version 3.

You are recieving this letter of suggested enrollment because I or another professor have deemed it necessary for you to recieve tutoring in the field of rping. This is not ment to be an insult, and I'm sorry if you recieve it as one. This only means that we the teachers see places that can be improved, and thus students to teach.

In this school, there have been two whole other classes, each both either helping the students improve their rping to a whole new level, or showing them that they are more of a debate person than fit for rping. In this school, we will rp alongside you, showing you ways to improve, and pointing out flaws only so you yourself can see them and understand them. There are three major groups that we will cover, from which everything we teach will branch off:

arrow Style - There are two major styles used in rping. Should you join, we will help you decide which you prefer more, and from there help you to develope that style, even give you personal, one-on-one tutoring if you so wish.

arrow Creativity - This, above all, is crucial for an rper to possess. Without a creative imagination, one cannot see what they are saying, and if they themselves do not understand it, how can they expect others to do so when they cannot? During our rping exercizes in the upgraded holo-room, we will set several different exercizes and experiences before you the student in order to first see your exact level of rping, then to monitor how quickly you are improving, and finally to see if your rping is able to be understood clearly in all instances.

arrow Grammer - This, along with creativity, is crucial. If you know what style you are going to rp with, you are fine, the same with if you are creative enough to keep the others you are rping with interested, but if you lack grammatical experience, you will never be able to reach your full potential. Rping works both ways in this field. You cannot rp if others cannot understand what you are saying. If they don't understand you, they cannot respond to your post. We at this school will help you to improve your literacy. As you rp with us, we will give you pointers as to how you may alter your wording so the other rpers can understand you with minimal difficulty.

Please note: this letter is not a command, but only a request. We are not forcing you to attend classes. We ask that you come because while you are learning, you are having fun, and fun is the main point for rping. Given, it is still under-going renovations from the last time it was open to the public in the guild, but all the needed and necessary itinerary and space have been provided in a clean invironment. Classes will begin immediately, and will remain posted so that you may review what has been learned, and the clever student may not have to repeatedly ask the same questions. We ask that you will join us at this marvelous establishment. Our doors are always open.



- Albert Zephyr, The Official Legend of Dragoon Guild

*Albert had only just found where the chalk was kept when his first student came in through the door. He took a moment to look over him as he moved toward the chalk board.*

Oh, you must be Darc. Choose yourself a desk and make yourself comfortable. If you could just wait one moment, I'll be right with you.

*Turning his gaze away from his pupil, he stepped up to the board and wrote in large cursive "Rping 101", and then below it "Professor Albert Zephyr". He set the chalk in the metal tray below the board and claped his hands together to knock off the chalk dust that stuck to them. He turned back to face the desks. Darc was moving amounst the rows, trying to decide on a seat.*

I hope you'll forgive me: I forgot to mention in my letters to you and the others that while in this school, you will live your life as if you were in any other rp. In other words, I expect you to rp at the best of your ability.

*He reached into his pocket and removed a pair of reading glasses, setting them on the end of his nose.*

Now that's out of the way, we can move on to the way this school will function. First and foremost, in this room, you the student will refer to me as either "Professor Zephyr" or merely "Professor". I will not stand to be called otherwise unless outside this classroom, in the holo-room, for example. While in there, you will face many situations, challenges, and yes, even battles, some with me accompanying you, other with only your peers to support you. That room, above all, is ment to test and decieve you. I might be there, but not in this form, so always be wary of the "people" you meet there. Any questions about this, or other aspects of the school?

*Albert breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the young woman enter though the door.*

Thank you so much for coming.

*He gestured to her, making sure that Darc was aware of her presence.*

This is Cabi. She will be here as one of the permanent professors. Now that the introductions are complete, I have a question to ask you: What do you think that we can help you with? In other words, what areas of your rping do you think need improvement?

*Sitting at his desk, he set his elbows on the top of it, interlaced his fingers, and rested his chin on them, patiently waiting for Darc's answer.*

Hmmmm.... yes...

*He read over sheet of paper with several notes scribbled across it. He looked up through his glasses at Darc.*

Looking back over these notes, your posts were rather short, and in places, lacking a great amount of flashy description. Take the fights for example. A post having to do with a fight scene isn't just "what you character does, say something, what your character does." People love rping fights. That's why there are 5-10 of them every 20 pages. If you respect your fellow rpers, give them something to read and inspire them. You grasp the gramatical knowlege, you only have to apply it. Give a long-winded description of how your character's hair flies through the air when they jump, or the dirt below them when they or their foe are knocked to the ground. Make it flashy to the point of being almost too much. That, my friend, is quality rping. Now, as for you grammer, it is actually very good. Of course, like all of us, it might be good to use a spell checker every now and then. The only way that you can learn more complex words is to write, write, and then write some more. Rp with words you find in the dictionary. It really adds to it rather than using the same old basic words. Instead of "stab" or "jab", try using the word "thrust". Rather than "jumped", use "lunged". There is a whole world of grammatical possiblities, but it is up for you to find them.

*Albert turned his head to see who had entered the room. It was the second of the three people he had contacted, a young woman. He read over the papers before him, reading what he had written of her.*

Yes, I'm glad you decided to join us, Miss.... uhm.... I'm sorry, I can't seem to pronounce your given name. What do you tend to go by?

I go by Mitsuko ^^ Im Mitsuko Souma

*she looked at darc and said* Hey Darc ^__^,umm professor is it ok if I have a seat next to Darc? *she looked at the professor as she twisted the side of her hair*

*she walked to the desk next to Darc and sat down and listened to Professor Albert* Well im actually not sure what I need help in,maybe a little bit of everything 3nodding 3nodding

Hey Darc ^^
