How long has it been since Yugi defeated Pegasus at Duelist Kingdom? How long since the last time the God Cards had been played in the eyes of the public? When was the last time Seto Kaiba was running around pulling off crazy theatrics and jumping off of impossibly high windows? A long time ago--that's for sure! However, this story has almost very little to do with them. It has more to do with the time after theirs...

Judai Yuki (Jaden Yuki) had gone through incredible lengths to stay at Duel Academia (Duel Academy)--to stay alive even! Many forces fought against him and he managed to prevail over all. From psychotic faculty members out to expell him to crazy men in white all the way down to a deranged madman trying to clone his lost adopted son. The poor teen had seen and lived through it all with the help of his friends...

Of course...this story doesn't have much to do with Judai or his friends--and if it did, they'd be well into their chosen careers by now!

It is years after the death of Professor Cobra and Duel Academia has fought for a very long time to regain its old, glorious reputation once again. All is calm and it is the beginning of a new school year!

But who will you be, dear stranger, within this tale of tales? Will you be one of the staff members, molding young minds into tools of gaming strategy? Will you be a new student? A first year who hasn't gotten his or her bearings yet? Or are you a returning student who can't wait to pick on the freshmen?

Only you can decide.
.S.T.O.R.Y.L.I.N.E.


You know what's so lovely about this roleplay? It has no set plot. You can do what you like (within reason)--set up your own little drama or whatever you please. There are virtually no canon characters to hinder you--this roleplay encourages made-up characters and building a story all our own.

All you need to know that it's a new school year and anything can happen. New first year students are coming in via boat, old students are coming back--some for their final year. The youngest student is 15 (all freshmen/first years), while the eldest is 18-19 (third/final years). And the professors are a cooky as ever!

Remember kids...interaction with other dorms is encouraged! And boys are not allowed to enter the girl dormitories (though the girls are certainly allowed to visit the boys).

Lets have fun this year, shall we?
.R.U.L.E.S.


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/auto-hitting/etc...
3. Keep the OOC posts to a minimum.
4. Follow the Gaia ToS.
5. Have fun and respect one another.
6. I have the right to ask you to leave if you are disrupting the roleplay in any manner and repeatedly. Should it get to the point where you refuse to let us be not only will you be banned from this roleplay, but I will alert the moderators.
7. 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.
10. Have fun.
11. Romance is fine--encouraged even. However...anything above PG-15 goes to the PMs.
12. The rules are subject to change once in a while, so check-up in case you're worried about making a faux pas.
13. Do not double post. Do not bump. Double posting messes other players up while they're in the middle of making a post in response. You need not bump. I can do it myself.

Accepted Characters

Gaia Name: Engel Valentine
Name: Rukito Asamiya
Age: 18
Height: 5'11
Appearance: Rukito in his trademark uniform
Gender: Male
Dorm: Obelisk Blue
Year: 3rd
Deck Type: Machine
Tactics: Beatdown
Bio: Rukito is what one might call cold and insensitive--which is mostly true as he is not one to get overly emotional about things. He was raised in a good family, one that was rich and had high expectations of him. He is a kind person, but his mannerisms tend to mask his kindness with sharp words and an aloof attitude. He carries a soft spot for Kazuki and would probably murder anyone who laid a hand on her or make her cry. This is because he has known her since they were very young and promised to protect her no matter what--even to the point of being obsessive and manipulative. Also, after graduation he will take over his family's business.

Gaia Name: Engel Valentine
Name: Kazuki Asamiya
Age: 16
Height: 5'5"
Appearance: Kazuki in a pretty dress
Gender: Female
Dorm: Slifer
Year: 2nd
Deck Type: Fantasy
Tactics: Magic and Effect
Bio: Kazuki is a bit of a dreamer who often finds herself in trouble. A little bit accident and danger prone, she tries to make up for her obvious flaws by studying hard to be the best duelist she can be. Despite her sweet and innocent appearance, she is fiercely loyal and is known to never back down when someone challenges her. When this happens her personality is known to do a 180 and the clumsy bumbling girl suddenly becomes a confident duelist. Kazuki has known Rukito since childhood and is practically attached to the hip with him even though they're not even in the same dorm (not even in the same family, to boot).

Gaia Name: Jiraiya420
Name: Hokou Ajikuji
Age: 17

Gender: male
Dorm: Obelisk blue
Year: 2nd
Deck Type: Gravekeepers, Exodia, Burn
Tactics: Gravekeepers: burn damage, Heavy hitters, lockdown
Exodia; need I say more?
Burn: fast burn damage.
Bio: After his mother died, Hokou came to Duel Academy to get away from his stepdad, who is a drunk and drug user who blames him for his brother's suicide. His first deck, Gravekeepers, was given to him by his older brother, before his suicide. Since then he has constructed several more. He is very lazy, but a good tactician and has lots of tricks up his sleeves.

Gaia Name: Destaria
Name: Kiyori "Key" Datte
Age: 17
Height: 5'6
Appearance: Kiyori
Gender: Female
Dorm: Ra
Year: 2nd
Deck Type: Light Attribute
Tactics: Defense and Traps
Bio: Kiyori, or Key as she is more commonly known, came from a simple, modest family. They owned and took care of a shrine and it played a large part of Key's everyday life. She loves peace and quiet and music is her passion (she never goes anywhere without her iPod). Her grandfather decided one day that his granddaughter's life had been too quiet and taught her how to wield a sword. This proved to be insufficient and soon he introduced her to Duel Monsters. She fell in love with it at once and spent most of her time practicing and perfecting her techniques. After some time of learning how to duel on her own, her grandfather decided to send her to Duel Academia.

Gaia Name: Zain Bloodbane
Name: Rein Lancer
Age: 15

Appearance: Rein is white skinned with extremely dark hair and hazel eyes. He wears a pair of navy blue cargo jeans by the Anchor Blue company. He has a clean black t-shirt put on with a red jacket with two front pockets over it. His black-colored sneakers are made by the Nike industry. Rein has black tube socks so he doesn't have to manage where to have the heels of his feet put. A metal chain hangs out of the topmost pocket of his cargo jeans on the right. Black leather gloves are strapped onto Rein's hands. However, the areas where each finger and thumb was supposed to be placed were cut off. A digital watch had been put on Rein's left arm and a red sweatband on the right. These two items could only be seen when the jacket was taken off or the sleeves of the jacket had been pulled up to elbow legnth. A silver necklace with a miniature version of a sword hung around Rein's neck.

Year: 1st
Deck Type: Mainly Spellcaster but it also has a few warriors and other types.
Tactics: Special summons, One turn defeat strategy, Special effects
Bio: Rein is a constantly underestimated when it comes to being challeneged at anything. The only reason he seems to fail a lot is only because he never feels like trying harder than he has to. His sister, Janet, bothers him most every day as much as she is able to. Rein's parents are always at work so Janet 'babysits' him even though he is old enough for him to be at the house by himself. He signed up for Duel Academy to get away from all the stress of his parents and sister. This is his first year so he actually going to try and not blow it.

Eventually, she grew addicted to it and started to play it very often and wanted to someday go to Duel Academia. After a while, her parents eventually allowed her to go.
Suzuki usually speaks softly whenever she talks and is the follower type. She never wants to be by herself for very long periods of time. Suzuki is also very obedient and has a hard time saying 'no' most of the time. In her free time, she likes to sketch out characters she made-up and make stories about them while she listens to music.

Tactics: Win, win, win.
Bio: As a kid, Zan was carefree, always smiling, and loved everything.

His only solistice was Duel Monsters, which kept him away from their house for long peroids of time. Which was fine for all of them. It was this dislike for his aunt and uncle that caused him to adopt his dark appearence and personality.

When he returned home to his parents they sent him away again, but not to his aunt and uncles house again, but to a school for budding Duelists. Zan returns home once a year to vist his parents, but other then that, his life is spent at school.

He learned all that he could about all kinds of dragons: English, Japanese, Chinese, and many others. While he was in middle school, he over heard some of his classmates playing Duel Monsters and one word caught his ear: Dragon. He instantly knew what he had to do. Find out how to play, make a dragon deck worthy of such great beasts, and beat down those who were not worthy enough to be in their presence.

02/20/07: Whooo~! Made the thread!!
B.L.A.C.K. / W.H.I.T.E. L.I.S.T.S.



Black List
Empty...lets keep it that way, ne? xp

White List
Sadly...very empty. crying
((And we are open for business! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!! scream ))
((Wow...people must hate YGO. XD))
((I guess I'll post something to show you all how serious I can be! Yoshu!!

BTW...

Rukito = Dark Blue Font
Kazuki = Dark Red Font ))

It was a cheerful day. Rukito hated cheerful days. Those sorts of days meant that there would be idiots mucking about and he certainly couldn't stand them either. Looking over his shoulder, he stared at the picture of his childhood and best friend (who, for some unfathomable reason possessed the same last name as him) who was smiling next to him without a care in the world. Not that the fair haired man was the type to complain, really. Kazuki, as childish as she was at times, was very dear to him the way his cold family never could be.

Rukito shook his head. "Such a kid," he muttered to himself, going to the cafeteria of the Blue Dorm to get a cup of coffee. Once he got some caffiene in the world would seem much better and clearer to his currently slightly drowsy head. Yes, that would be the plan...He quickly got down there and had several cups to get him going. He savored each and every sip, letting a rare smile come onto his lips.

Refreshed and properly motivated, Rukito was able to meet the day with a smirk. At the moment, he wondered what he could be doing to while time away. As someone who generally had very precious free time to himself, he had very few options. One, he could go back to his dorm room and get some work done in time for his family's company as he was to one day take over when he finally graduated (a prospect which sort of unnerved him, to be truthful). Two, he could still go back to his room and simply study or catch up on some lost sleep (kind of har, now that he had consumed two cups of black coffee). Or three, he could go find Kazuki and relieve some stress.

Deciding that he wanted some stress relief, he left the dorm and began wandering the island in search of his not-really-a-sister little sister.
Hokou went down to the cafeteria of the Obelisk Blue dorm. "Heh, here in only my second year", he thought to himself as he helped himself to some toast. He saw a girl pouring herself some coffee. "Hmmm, she's an Obelisk, lets see if she can duel", he thought as he walked toward her. "Hello", he said. "I was wondering if you would care for a duel after breakfast", he said, making himself a cup of hot, strong green tea.
