The Rules
1. This is a literate roleplay. Higher grammar, spelling and sentence structure are to be expected. Not all the time mind you--even the best of us have days where we just become apathetic--but it would be nice to be able to READ a post that isn't one long run-on sentence...
2. No godmodding/powerplaying/etc...
3. This is a fantasy roleplay, however...if you start out human, you will END as a human. And only certain individuals will be able to use magic if I give them permission. No one else is allowed to use it unless stated.
4. Follow the Gaia ToS.
5. Have fun and respect one another.
6. Try not to do any one-liners. Even two liners are better than one-liners....
8. The rules are subject to change once in a while, so check up on them from time to time.
9. This is going to be long-term. If you think you are not able, please do not join.

 In high school we are separated by cliques, popularity and authority figures?much in the same way a kingdom is divided.
We have scholars, of whom we lovingly refer to, as 'nerds' since their academic achievements, research and pursuit of knowledge is always first in their minds. There are the merchants, better known as the cheer crazy 'fund raisers' of the school who help and do whatever that is needed of them in order to raise money. The aristocracy are those who vie for the position of 'most popular', backstabbing and plotting whenever they can to get whatever they want. We even have our share of thieves and rogues with our resident 'juvenile delinquents'.
Now, you must be wondering how royalty is determined in such a crazed society that mocks the very concept of a kingdom.
In high school, usually the most popular would be considered royalty, but we've already established that they are the nobles and aristocrats of the high school kingdom...not the royalty.
To be king means one must have great amount of power bestowed upon him, whether the general populace likes him or not. So this role falls upon the shoulders of the 'Student Body President'. He must be the one to rein all of his subjects in (a nearly impossible feat, considering that all of his subjects are between the age of fourteen to eighteen) and to rule with accord.
Now that the role of the king has been laid out, we suppose that we should tell you about the rest of the court. A queen is rather easy to find as she always by her king's side either as his 'girlfriend' or as his 'secretary/vice-president'.
The prince of the realm is often considered to be the best player of the school's sports team, the 'MVP' that everyone allows to get away with anything he desires. Even the higher powers that be (teachers), seem to bow down to him at the slightest tantrum. His fellow players are his knights and the coach is his trusted advisor.
A real princess is truly hard to find though.
The lead cheerleader could fit the role as a princess spoiled from birth to match the arrogant jock prince that struts around the halls of the school. But in all honesty, who would jump in to defend her should she be in trouble besides her beloved jock prince? The true princess is always the one that everyone jumps at the chance to defend, even if the reason is inane. Someone who many will serve and protect subconsciously because that person seems worth the effort...
We have the nobles and aristocrats mentioned already, so I shall skip to the court jester, which can be almost any 'class clown' in any class you can find. Whether or not they are amusing at all remains to be seen...but somebody has to try and bring cheer to everyone around him.
There are many others to be mentioned (like the roleplayers who are the closest things to magicians...or lunatics depending on who you talked to), but this tale of a strange kingdom shall soon begin and it is best not to dwell too much on matters that can be discussed at a later point in time. It now time to discuss something of a stranger matter...
Hundreds of years ago, the castle that now acts as a high school used to belong to great young king who fought valiantly against invading forces who dared tried to take over his land. He and his younger brother were a force to be reckoned with and none could prevail against them as long as they remained united. Though there was much violence and war the inhabitants of this king's land were relatively happy and quite prosperous.
But things can only remain so cheerful and carefree. One conqueror sought out to destroy this small kingdom that gained a name for itself for being so strong; sought out to break the royal line that held so many noble and virtuous men. He was a dark man of whom few spoke his name aloud for fear of summing him to their doors in this manner. They say he was a wizard...a dark sorcerer out for the destruction of the worlds. Others say he was a crafty and cruel man whose winter star eyes could chill a man to his bones, his whispers able to frighten the bravest of souls. He fought with the king in a battle to the death as their respective armies clashed around them...
...But even he managed succumb to defeat at the hands of this king. He breathed out a curse to him and all that dared to follow as well as anyone else like him. He swore he would return and bring an end to him. No matter how many times he would come back to kill him and those who had been there on the day of his death.
That is the shortened version of the tale of King Edward III and the fight against Lord Winterkiss. If you're interested in the longer version, perhaps you should inquire our dearest storyteller. We're quite sure she would love to tell you more of Winterkiss...But we digress a little.

 The main storyline is that dear Lord Winterkiss has finally return to bring revenge upon the inhabitants of King Edward's Academy of Higher Learning. It is the beginning of a brand new school year where a select few are pulled into a strange land behind the third floor, west wing second closet door. Sure, the place looks like King Edward's Academy--as the contents were never really change much over the years--but there are some odd differences.
Eric Trusdale, Student Body President of King Edward's, was often referred to as 'your Majesty' and 'my King'. The popular head cheerleader, was called 'my lady' and 'Princess Consort'. And even stranger, the whole castle was crawling with people they did not know who were dressed as if from the medieval times!
And so it sorta begins. ^^;
For now, we'll just start off with the kids getting to school first BEFORE they get sent off to the 'Other World' as I so fondly call it.
So, the setting right now is that it's the first day of a new school year. It's 7:00 a.m. Students are either arriving from overseas or from faraway, or are just waking up in their dorms because they stayed over the summer.It is a new year at King Edward's and students are just returning from a nice, lazy summer vacation. What will await them now that they're all back in school?

Age: 18
Student Status: Student Body President, Grade 12
Hair: Brown, slightly messy
Eyes: Sky Blue
Height: 5'10"
Personality: He is serious minded, calm--most of the time--and collected. His goal is to keep his presidency for a record of four years as he had been the youngest ever elected at King Edward's at the age of fifteen. He is without much temper and loves solitude and quietly enjoying a novel during a lazy day. He doesn't like to play team sports, but has taken up fencing recently as a hobby.
Likes: Taking naps
Dislikes: Team sports such as rugby, people who take advantage of his sister
Brief Bio: An unknown descendant of King Edward III, he has quite a lot on his shoulders to bear. His parents have high expectations of him, making sure that his future was of a politician. For most of his life he had a rather cultured, yet sheltered upbringing though his family didn't have that much money. When he isn't at school, he works as a librarian.
The Faithful Queen Played by -- Gunslinger Rose
Name: Kaana Trey
Age: 18
Student Status: Student Body Vice-president, Grade 12
Hair: black
Eyes: left: green//right: blue
Height: 5'5"
Personality: Everyone thinks the queen type should be proper and quiet, while as she is that kinda of person deep to her core she's almost a completely different person. Her opposite side that she doesn't show to other people is rude, hot-tempered, out-going, girly and energetic. But because of her all important need to be the best and the queen of the school she doesn't show who she truly is but to those who she can trust or by accident.
Likes: writing, sports, quiet places, roses,
Dislikes: rowdy people, stupid people, mushrooms, dogs
Brief Bio: The minute she was old enough her family ditched her and sent her off to live in private schools ever since she was 5 and rarely does she go home. No one knows about her family problems but she leaves them to think what they want. But whenever she is at home no one is around much anyways either. So her life at school is all she knows and nothing else but being the best.

The Lady Princess Played by -- Engel Valentine
Name: Nadine Trusdale
Age: 16
Student Status: Grade 10
Hair: Dark brown, wavy and long
Eyes: Sky blue
Height: 5'4"
Personality: Whereas her brother is serious minded and very much an adult, Nadine's mind still falls upon fairytales and she is quite a daydreamer. Although not naive or innocent, she does put faith in things she probably shouldn't. Like those who take advantage of her because of her relation to Eric. Also unlike her brother, she is very energetic and has a very bizarre outlook on life.
Likes: Fairytales, legends, myths and books
Dislikes: Liars and killjoys
Brief Bio: Also a descendant of King Edward III, she is Eric Trusdale's younger sister. She's not one to think about the future much, but she is the apple of her parents' eyes. While Eric is expected to become a highly respected and powerful politician later on in life, Nadine is showered with idealistic ideas, affection and light-heartedness and isn't pressured into anything. She's bestfriends with Eve Darling, the school librarian.

Name: Victoria Allerdyce
Age: 17
Student Status: Grade 11
Hair: Strawberry Blonde

Likes: Reading, Writing, Arithmetic
Dislikes: Sports, Royalty, Romance
Brief Bio: Victoria is a quick-thinking, fast learner, and enjoys spending her time in the library reading and studying. She is the likely candidate for valedictorian and she has a crush on Dante, although it is unlikely that she'll ever tell him, be it lack of courage or lack of will to date.

Brief Bio: Charlie was said to be laughing when she was born. All through school she has a made a joke out of even the most serious of things (except death, she wont touch that).

Job: Librarian
Hair: Light brown hair, streaked with premature gray, often tied into a loose bun

Likes: Stories, telling stories, imaginative people
Dislikes: Books put back on the wrong shelves
Brief Bio: Not much is known about this strange woman who appeared just after the old librarian had a sudden stroke. She has worked at the school library for two years already, though she seemed more at home than she should have been....

The School
The school has dorms, a library and several class rooms. It has an outdoor court and an indoor swimming pool. In the modern day version, of course. In the Other World, the castle becomes as it used to be. The indoor pool becomes the dungeons once again, the outdoor tennis court becomes that muddy and dirty old court where soldiers train and people come in in order to reach the main hall. Just think medieval.
Banners
I have made some banners if you all are interested.

((Because the proverbial rubber sphere needs a shove of kinetic energy...))
It was a rather chilly morning for the end of summer. Some students were still sleeping in their dorms, others were already up and quite a few were dead tired and had just arrived at the gates. The school was unofficially opened to the public and someone was already inside, sitting by the library doors, eagerly awaiting when her best friend came to open them. She had received news of a new collection of fairytale books being put into the old place so she was anxious to get to them first. Pacing a bit, young Nadine Trusdale walked back and forth through the second floor corridor.
She checked her watched absentmindedly, seeing that it had only been one minute since she last checked it. "Seven, oh, three," she murmured with an impatient sigh.
"What a lovingly chilly morning." said a plainly dressed woman, who smiled pleasantly as she locked her car door. Her keychain beeped a few times and she began to walk towards the school from the parking lot. It was a five minute walk, but she was more than used to using her legs to get about rather than her almost broken down stationwagon. She had to go to storage first to check up on the new orders, which had been catalogued some weeks before. Eve Darling was a dedicated librarian and she would do anything to make sure that the vibrant imaginations of the future generations were kept alive; even do overtime.
Around the same time Nadine had made her eleventh pace through the corridor outside the large oak double doors of the library, Eve finally made it through the parking lot and throng of arriving students--as well as storage to get a trolley full of newly catalogued books--to get to her favourite place in the entire castle school: The Library. The woman smiled at seeing the familiar head of wavy, dark brown hair waiting for her--or more likely, the opening of the treasure trove of books that was the library--near the doors.
"Good morning, Nadine. I suppose you stayed the summer?" she inquired pleasantly, rolling the trolley to a stop in front of the teen.
Nadine nearly jumped at the voice that caught her by surprise. Eve Darling may not know it, but she could be quite the sneak when she wanted to. Then again, it was probably the mark of a good librarian when one couldn't tell when she was looming nearby. She smiled, nodding in response to the question. "Oh, yes. Eric and I didn't want to impose on our parents and the school is rather lovely during the summer." she said with a slightly dreamy sigh as rather romantic ideas went flying through her head.

The alarm clock went off; it came as an annoying beeping sound but as it were that was the only thing that would wake her up because she had become so accustom to blocking out most noises of the day. She felt around for the egg shaped clock with wings that sprouted out from the sides and pushed it down. The sound instantly stopped and she felt relieved. So she wearily got up for the day that was the first day of school. For her she had stayed over for the whole summer in the dorms and only went out occasionally to get herself a book from the library and nothing else. Her hair was perfectly laid down upon her shoulders but she still required a shower. She yawned and looked around the room. What's to come for today? She turned on the hot and cold water together and got into the shower and only fifteen minutes later was she done with the routine of a morning shower. Fifteen minutes after that she was dressed in the school uniform and walking in the halls among the other classmates.

 >> Only the blackest of heartsA steady drum beat began to sound from the combination radio-alarm clock, eventually proceeding into a manic laughter with a guitar mixed in before the lyrics of the rock song began to sound throughout Victoria's room. She glanced up from the rustic pages of her book, allowing the song to finish before clicking the button on top of her the machine to turn off the alarm, sighing to herself.
"Another night without sleep," she muttered, pulling her nightgown up her chest a bit further then it was and walking into the bathroom, running through the morning routine without a second thought. Victoria looked over herself, not the prettiest girl by far, and her glasses were only doomed to throw off that dream even further, but for her - she thought it was quite an improvement over last year.
She grabbed her shoulder-sling bag, filled with her usual books (a book on mythology, an empty notebook, and a dictionary) and continued down towards the cafeteria, hoping to grab something edible for breakfast before the livelihood of the education life was to continue once more. She smiled lightly to herself, knowing that Dante Mythras would be getting himself something to eat (had he not attempted stealing his own supply of food). The young Allerdyce woman had never really known what appealed her to the rebellious student, but love was a complicated thing - and until she could study it further, she chose to ignore it entirely.
((Kris, I'm sure you can figure out what she has set to her alarm clock - actually, considering your character - I wouldn't be shocked if it was the same thing...)) Can feel the purest of love <<

>> Only the blackest of heartsVictoria clicked her tongue distastefully as she looked over the food being served for breakfast, nothing catching her eye, and by the looks of it, nobody else's either. Why do they bother buying things if nobody is really going to eat them? Sooner or later it will cost them more money then it saves... she thinks to herself, picking up some simple pieces of toast, knowing it would satiate her desires for the morning. She looked around the cafeteria, knowing that nobody she knew really liked her, or knew her back.
"Why not..." she mumbled to herself, walking over to the far window of the room, only carrying a bag over her shoulders and a piece of toast in her mouth. She took the somewhat burnt bread out of her mouth in an attempted smile, although it came out as more of a nervous smirk.
"May I sit with you, Dante?" Can feel the purest of love <<

Kaana was alone in the classroom, hers 3-A of course for being the best and already a 3rd year, which meant soon enough she would be going on to college. She straighten out the stack of papers just completed for the school committee that were required of her as vice president since it was the beginning of school. She had just skipped breakfast for the morning but if Eric were this late for a reason, he probably would bring along a muffin just for her. She smiled thinking of him and then just laughed at herself. She left that room and went down to the office to drop of the papers before class began and possibly to find Eric and wherever he was.
((Our characters as president and vp do know each other right?))

The poor alarm clock never had a chance. The machanical, screeching round-faced clock suddenly found itself flying through the air, heading towards the wall. Suddenly it thought, It's my time. A smash was heard as the thing made new friends with the wall and dropped mercilessly to the green carpet below. The pale arm that threw the no-longer-ticking time piece slinked back under the dark red covers and there was a grumble in response to the alarm's last words.
Then, just as quickly as the clock found itself in Purgatory, the covers were thrown off and a thin framed girl shot up and gathered her clothes which, after the clothing atomic bomb hit, were everyone on the floor. She threw on the uniform, not caring to straighten it or iron the wrickled piece of clothing. Slipping on her shoes and looking to the mirror she growled. First impressions were stupid, but she always had to make one. Grabbing two scrunchies, one red, the other white, she tied her hair back in pig-tails at the sides of her head, letting the red and white locks fall from the scrunchies easily.
Satisfied with appearance, Charlie grabbed her bag and flew out of the dorms. She squeaked as she saw the gates and sped up, making it through before they could close. Saluting rather lazily to one of the disgruntled teachers passing by, she put on a big smile and headed onward, across the untrodded land of.... SOPHOMORE YEAR!! DunDunDUUN!
The class joker giggled and continued on, whistling and swinging her bag back and forth. She had big plans for this year. The mischevious little sprite was thinking of all the evil plans she could enact this school semester. Her mind was in a buzz as she schemed, but kept and outer shell of pure innocence (yeah right).
