<---------E V E R [A F T E R] A C A D E M Y O U R || F A I R Y T A L E || S E C R E T S Nothing is ever as it seems and that point is especially true at Ever After Academy where a happily is always found after a good education.
---
Hello, this is my first roleplay in the guild. I have created this guild once outside of the guild on a mule account of mine, so if anyone sees on an account aside from mine, please tell me. I will clarify whether it is myself or not.
In any case, this is the to-be OOC thread for the role play, but I will post all the information here so well, everyone knows what they need to be doing in order to join. In any case, I hope that you all enjoy and out of warning, the roleplay will be limited (unless of course, I'm not allowed to then it won't be, but uh... yeah).

<---------T H E [G E N E R A L] G U I D E L I N E S D I L I G E N T L Y || F O L L O W || T H E M [♫] My word is final:: If there is a quarrel or otherwise Out Of Character, my word is final. If one chooses not to listen, then they will be requested to leave the roleplay permanently. No ifs ands or buts.
[♫] Follow Gaia T.O.S.:: 'Nough said, I hope.
[♫] Posting better be awesome:: I expect all posts to be done very, very well. I'd like grammatical errors to be limited and spelling to be damn near perfect. If one's writing is absolutely atrocious, I may request that you leave. Also, I'd like there to be at least 15+ lines per post (three+ paragraphs per post). It's difficult to play off of someone else when they only post less than that.
[♫] Boys May be Girls and Girls May Be Boys:: In other words guys may play girls or guys and girls may play girls and guys. I don't care what you play, just play it well.
[♫] Heterosexual Characters Only:: I'm all for homosexuality, bisexuality, and pan sexuality, but in this role play, I'd prefer that all characters be heterosexual just so I may keep track of things a bit more easily. Now, this doesn't mean that a girl can't cross dress or a guy can't, but I just want them to be heterosexual. Sorry.
[♫] One Per Person:: Please, only one character per person. If you want to play twins, I'm sorry, but I'd prefer one character per person so that it won't get so confusing.
[♫] Romance, Drama, and Fighting Allowed:: In all actuality, where would all the fun be if none of these things were allowed in the role play? Bear in mind that romance over the PG-13 limit (i.e. Cybering) is not allowed in the thread. I do not encourage it at all especially because these characters are of high school age; however, if it must happen, I will not suggest taking it to the PMs, but rather off the site altogether. A slight notion (after finishing) may be hinted in the posts afterward, so that we may know. As far as drama goes, don't be a drama queen. Don't start a conflict or a fight that isn't necessary or doesn't seem logical. What's the point in such a thing? For fighting, please do not godmode, puppeteer, control, or in anyway do anything to prevent a "fair" fight. No killing either unless the user and myself give consent (if one is killed then they will be leaving the character permanently, no ghosts).
[♫] Post profiles in the OOC:: Do not PM them to me, well you can, but I will probably ignore it. Post the profiles in the OOC so that EVERYONE can see them. Let people know what you've got.
[♫] You Better Wow Me:: I want to see that you want to join the role play, if you send me some profile that doesn't seem to be "amazing", then I honestly cannot see myself accepting you into the role play. I want something that'll stand out in a crowd.
[♫] Make Characters Realistc:: Okay, so the whole "it's a fairytale" academy makes it kind of hard, but make the characters themselves realistic. Sure a character may have lost a parent, but it's not like they would become a forest child and then somehow end up back in school or something. The storyline itself does take place in modern settings, so it's not like we have to fend for ourselves and such, it's more like... you were sent here. For what reason? Well there are plenty. Don't make your characters not make sense, make sure they flow and work well with what is needed. By the way, I'd like you to state your originally hair color (if it is dyed, tell me what the real hair color would be) and the hair length. YOUR hair color and hair length, not your characters. Post this at the bottom of your profile.
[♫] No Gary-Stu or Mary-Sues:: Everyone has their character flaws and their good points. No one, even fairytale characters, are good at everything. It's just that simple.
[♫] Anime/Drawn Images Only:: If you wish to use a picture, don't use images of real people. I'd prefer for you not to. That's just about it to this rule, aside from "only one image per person".
[♫] Stay Active:: Please post at least three times a week. If you want to leave the roleplay please PM me and inform me of this. To add to this rule, I don't want there to be a "doubles posting", where two people just go back and forth because they are both online at the same time. I hate catching up and undoubtedly other people do too.
[♫] Fairytales or Stories:: As far as fairytales go, I'm up for almost anything aside from things such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or something in that same sort of area. I'd much rather not have that kind of thing in my roleplay. If you're unsure, please, just post in the OOC thread and ask. I'd be more than willing to assist.
[♫] Fonts and Styles:: Alright, this is pretty much more of a personal preference to me, but I still count it as a rule. Actually, no scratch that, it has to happen. All text in the thread must be size 10 or 11. The colors, I could care less, but make sure it's tasteful and not blindingly bright.
[♫] Human Characters Only:: This rule, I think makes sense. The characters, despite the fact that they can become fairytale characters are human in their normal form. There are no characters who are nekos, anthros, demons, or the like unless that is what their fairytale character is like in which case it is only the fairytale character that is allowed to be any of these things.
[♫] I reserve the right to change my rules without notice or warning so check back often.

<---------A N [ A C A D E M I C ] F A I R Y T A L E::. L O N G || L O N G || A G O Fairytale characters, every one has heard of them, seen them, or even heard them (in books and the like). They live on in our hearts, in our minds, in almost every aspect of our lives. There are those who envy them, who wish they could become them, and some even go to such great lengths as dressing up as said characters. Known by almost all and familiarized by a certain few, there is no way that Fairytale characters could ever change, or ever will, right?
Wrong.
Fairytale characters are constantly changing, although it is almost impossible for any one person to tell, or any mere "mortal" to tell, all fairytale characters change. Every time a fairytale character dies off they are soon replaced. Whenever one retires for old ages, they are replaced. When ever... well, you get the drift. It happens constantly and it happens often, a fairytale character is replaced with someone who is almost duplicate, but slightly different as stories are always changing. Every time though, one thing stays the same, they are still people and they are still story tales told to children.
I told you they are replaced, right? Ha. Funny story behind that.
Well, as one knows, at least now as one knows, normal people replace a fairytale character. How are the people chosen, how are they even trained for their positions? Well, it's quite simple. Ever After Academy, the school for fairytale characters. It sounds rather ridiculous, but it is true. The students are chosen almost at random, except of course, for one common interest. Usually the characters bare at least one common characteristic of the character they are to replace.
Well, about the school itself.
At Ever After Academy, the staff is a well-trained group. Former fairy tale characters, taught to mentor the students into their storybook characters. While, there are written in enemies, loves, and the like, it's a high school after all and of course, not everything is as simple as "Happily Ever After". Of course, at the school, the prejudices set in our almost enforced to a tee. Say, one happens to turn out to be an "Ugly" stepsister and another is Cinderella. Teachers and other staff seem to like to encourage a hatred between the two. In some cases, it does happen, while in others, they may just become the best of friends or the "Ugly" one may end up being the most beautiful girl of all.
Now, at the school, the students are currently trying to live life as it were. Gaining new abilities and new fairy tale powers, some not to their liking, but others, such as Peter Pan's ability to fly, of course, to such a liking.
Currently, the school seems to be experiencing certain 'difficulties', nothing too grand, aside from students arriving and the like. Certain students, it seems, is starting to stir and tries to revolt against the prejudices that are set in. Others are trying to encourage them. While others, altogether, could care less or rather, are neutral. There has been no conflict that has happened yet, but it seems that hot blood is beginning to stir.
Just as well, at times, some of the students are being forced into their fairytale characters at times that seem almost pointless (of course, aside from the "character practice" class). It seems there has been talk, recently of a riot going through the grounds.
The students, as it seems, may never be able to live to see their happily after all.
Considering that the school is a high school, no story is ever set in stone.
Teachers are NPC'd.
-------
There's more that you ought to know. Honestly.
See, as students come to the school they soon realize what happens. Well, quite simply they aren't allowed to speak with former friends, family, or anything. It's just that they just can't. The school makes this obvious after the student's first week of schooling (in their freshman year).
Never are they allowed to return home or anything. The only memories they are allowed are those that they brought with them and although they are allowed to write their homes, the students are never allowed to speak of what goes on in the school. Just as well, all letters are screened by the E.A. staff, but that is just the little bit of business that the students don't know about.

<---------T H E [S C H O O L] G R O U N D S L O O K || O V E R || C A R E F U L L Y The school itself is large, spacious, and perfect to accommodate the needs for any one person, creature, or anything otherwise. Though the school caters to humans, it is built to also cater to the fairytale/nursery rhyme side of every one being as they don't wish for there to be a child who just happens to accidentally get swept away by a sudden gust of wind while they are practicing their flying lessons and the like. The school also boasts it's security and secrecy and seeing as it hasn't really been discovered for the past couple hundred years, they are obviously doing something right.
----
The school is hidden in a rather deep, dark, and "scary" forest (it's a rather cliche place to hide a hidden school, but no one really dares to venture in, weird). Well the forest isn't technically scary, dark, or quite deep actually it's just enchanted (another cliche, but hell they seem to be popping up everywhere now-a-days). Well to continue on the school is hidden in the deep, not-so-deep, forest. A single dirt path way leads to the main part of the school, but branches off later on into many different smaller paths. Each of them are slightly different, but the main path. Trees line the outer part of the path and the branches reach downward toward whomever passes in an eerie sort of fashion. It's not meant to scare anyone, but rather warn them of what is ahead.
After the first few miles along the main path, there are three seperate pathways that branch off in different directions, but all end up in the same place. In any sense, it doesn't really matter which path one takes, but it just depends on whether or not one wishes to get to their destination faster or not. The first path, to the left, looks quite similar to the original pathway; however, it is smaller and seems to narrow down into an almost "one-foot-after-another" sort of way. This path, although is quite honestly one of the oddest, is the fastest.
The center pathway is a large and thick path, no trees line the sides, but rather just rocks and shrubbery, anything in the like. This path way has many twists, turns, and even a loop (one dares not question how a loop would have gotten into the pathway in the first place). Although, the scenery around it is not quite nice, it is the most serene and peaceful of all three of the pathways. The ones who do tend to go down this pathway seem to take a medium length of time (not short, not long).
The pathway to the right is the only pathway that truly looks "haunted". Dead trees, burnt patches of grass, and scorched rocks line the sides of this path. The longest and by far, the most frightening of the three paths, not much is said about it aside from it being the scariest as no one truly wishes to venture to it.
----
At the end of the three pathways they conjoin once more and soon it looks once more like it originally had making the three way split almost completely pointless. Well the pathway itself leads to two large gate doors, the left one with a cursive E written onto it and the right one with a capital A; both of the letters are written in a funky font with an odd and rather mystic looking swirl around it and a crown atop all of it. The gates seem to appear out of nowhere from a large and tall hedge that seems to be about twenty-feet high and just about fifteen feet thick (although, the height and the width are guesses, it just seems so). The gates slowly open with a creek and soon the actual school grounds and front seem to shine through.
The school itself is blocked off from all via a large moat, the hedges, and the gates as well. It's reinforced and with a little bit of enchanted "magic" it manages to go unseen. (Above the hedges, parts of the school itself can obviously be seen as it's rather difficult and hard to manage one from seeing the school).

The School
[I managed to reach my point in descriptions and I don't think I could ever describe the school itself. Sorry.]

<---------T H E [L I V I N G] Q U A R T E R S L O O K || O V E R || T H I S Deep inside the corridors of the school and past the center courtyard, there are two hallways that divide the living quarters. It isn't divided by anything in particular, just two different hallways.
To the right are the "red dorms" (RD 1-5). Each bedroom is spacious and adorned with two full-sized beds (on the opposite sides of one another). All bedrooms have two glass sliding doors as well as a balcony which will allow them to see their fellow red dorm dorm mates. Oh, from where one enters there are two closets (one on the right and left side) of a small hallway. Either hallway gives enough space to hang clothing. To the side, (closest to the sliding glass doors) are two drawers. One for either of the roommates. The flooring of the dormroom is a simple white carpet, soft to the touch, but nothing shag (ew).
The blue dorms (BD 1-5) are almost exactly the same except the hallway is to the right and one can only see those in the blue dorms when standing on the balconies.

<---------L I S T S [O F] F A I R Y T A L E S T O || H E L P || Y O U Click - Here is the list of many, many fairytales thanks to Wikipedia. Not all are English based fairytales, but they still may be used. Be versatile, don't do something so "overdone".
Click - As of right now, I'm allowing Nursery Rhymes to be used as well. This may be a bit more difficult as most don't really refer to human-like characters, but some do and those that don't could be crafted to do so. This may take a bit more of a skillful hand to craft into a character of their own. Anyways, here you are.

Terra's character, Captain Hook, is from the fairytale Peter Pan.
Asura's character, the Cheshire Cat, is from the fairytale Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (otherwise known as Alice in Wonderland).
Ryn's character, Jacen Solo, is from the Star Wars book series, particularly the Jedi Academy series and Legacy of the Force series.
Nathan's character, the Wicked Witch, is from the fairytale The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Patrick's character, the First Apprentice, is from the fairytale The Three Apprentices.
Elizabeth's character, Belle (or Beauty), is from the fairytale Beauty and the Beast.

If you can find a fairytale with a character called the "dark knight" or the "dark wizard".
All fairytale characters must come from an actual story.
XD I'm making "Captain Hook", so it's all good.
