Prologue (borrowed from the first book in the series,'Midnight For Charlie Bone':
Long, long ago a king arrived in the North. They called him the Red King because he wore a scarlet cloak and his shield was emblazoned with a burning sun. It was said that he came out of Africa. This king was also a marvelous magician and each of his ten children inherited a small part of his power. But when the king's wife died, five of his children turned to wickedness and the other five, seeking to escape the corruption that surrounded their evil siblings, left their father's castle forever.
Brokenhearted, the Red King vanished into the forests that covered the kingdoms of the North. He did not go alone, however, for he was followed by his three faithful cats - leopards to be precise. We must never forget the cats!
The manifold and fabulus powers of the Red King were passed down through his descendants, often turning up quite unexpectedly in somone who had no idea where they came from. This is what happened to Charlie Bone and to some of the children he met behind the grim, gray walls of Bloor's Academy.
Welcome to the roleplay 'Children of the Red King II'. It is a continuation of the previous roleplay, 'Children of the Red King'.
Plot:
Note to readers: There are currently, as far as I know, four books by Jenny Nimmo about a boy by the name of Charlie Bone and his adventures with the endowed, all of them decendants of the mysterious Red King. All characters from those books are not allowed to be used in this RP. Any ecceptions include having a different name and appearance. The personalities/endowments may be used if you follow those ecceptions.
Dr. Bloor talks of war. Not war between cities, or countries, but a war between the endowed. Will this war turn the tide for the lives of all endowed, or will it spread to something more?
Descriptions
The school:
Quote: Ahead was a tall gray building, ancient and imposing. The walls that flanked the square were five stories high, their windows dark rectangles of reflecting glass.
A five story building, gloomy and whatnot. One floor is dedicated to the boy's dorms, another, girls. The basement section is dedicated to three cafeteria's, one for each colored-cape.
Quote: Charlie followed. The blue cafetera was at the end of several longe passages and Charlie tried to memorize his way by studying the paintings on the walls. It was important to know where food could be found. Most of the paintings were portraits of stern-looking men and women. They seemed to reach back through the ages, their clothes reflecting the centuries they had lived in. He began to recognise names: Raven, Silk, Yewbeam, Pike and Bloor. ---- At last thay entered a big, steamy room that smelled of boiled cabbage.
The rest of the floor's will contain the classrooms. On the first floor, however, will contain the Prefects' wing, Dr. Bloor's office, the coatroom's and the garden exit, as well as the exit to the outside world (They only open on friday's wink )
After everyone's first period of class, they must take off their cloaks (one of the ONLY times they are allowed to take them off) and run in the gardens.
Quote: The garden was hardly what Charlie would have called a garden. There was no end to it as war as he could see. There were no walls or fences either. The back of the academy overlooked a huge feild where children ran or jogged in two's and three's and, sometimes, alone. A deep wood surrpunded the feild and, in the distance, a gray, reddish-colored wall could be seen, disappearing into the tree's. Fidelio told Charlie that this was the ruin.
Dorms:
Each room is stuffed with 6 beds, naturally, in the book. I am going to limit each room, though, with 2 bunkbeds, sleeping 4 people per room. A dresser per person will be assigned. A bathroom is also in each room, as well as one for each gender on each non-dorm floor.
There are 3 different groups of students, with their respective colored capes. Purple-Drama, Green-Art, Blue-Music.
Each and every student will arrive at school on their respective colored bus (blue, green, or purple)on Monday, and stay day and night untill Friday afternoon, where they will go home for the weekend.
Rules of the School:
'Silence in the hall,
Talking not at all,
Silence if you fall,
Never cry or call...' (thats all thats in the book sweatdrop )
Ok. No talking in the hallways. The schedule is: Breakfast, 3 classes, Lunch, 2 classes, Dinner. After dinner, all of the endowed go to the Kings Room for homework for 2 hours, as everyone else goes to respective classrooms. Lights out after dark, the Matron will be sure of that.
Each color of students must go to their own cafeteria for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, no ifs ands or buts.
No wandering.(but we all break this rule, dont we? wink )
If you do break any rules and get caught, you will be held in school till Saterday afternoon.

One night he was teased by some boys who lived in the town that they were performing in. They threw rocks at him but he managed to escape only with a cut on his head a few brusiese. He went to his favoirte tiger, a female snow tiger named Winter Rose and cried into her fur. She licked his wounds and he fell into a small stupor.

Derek wandered to the green cafeteria. A few of his buddies wandered with him, but he mostly remained silent. His hair statiked a bit, an effect his endowments gave him, though, he still had to keep reminding his mother to get him a non-metal hairbrush. Through an open window, a small breeze ran through his hair, making it look even more messy than it seemed.
"You should just stop brushing it!" One of his non-endowed friends joked. "You just make it look worse!"
Derek smiled and entered the cafeteria for breakfast.

The cafeteria smelled like burnt bacon. Derek grimaced as he watched the other green-caped students carrying a tray of lumpy oatmeal and something that could have resembed bacon once. "Aww.... Oatmeal again!" A small girl complained from in front of him. "Its always oatmeal." Derek said.
The small girl turned around, revealing her red eyes and white hair. "I know... I just complain about it, hoping that someone would change the menu!" She joked, than turned back around quickly as a teacher passed by. "Your hair's a mess, by the way." She commented.
"I know." Derek replied, a small chuckle following. "It always is."

Tiffany rubbed her eyes, grumbling at noone in particular as she headed into the drama cafeteria. Looking around at the purple walls as she went, she decided that she was going to hate purple at some point in her future. At least it was a pretty shade. The boys probably hated it. Thinking of boys, she self-conciously smoothed her hair, then fiddled with her cloak as she waited in line for--yay--oatmeal. She took her bowl and put in, as usual, a lot of butter, and plenty enough sugar.
Tiffany made sure to grab an orange juice before sitting down at one of the predictably purple tables. Most of the other students in Drama were writing, or reading, or practicing. Tiffany never brought paper or pens with her. She was rather afraid of some of the plays she'd written out, several of which hadn't come true yet. Maybe having them acted out makes them true? She contemplated that idea while she ate.

A small girl with a cape that seemed like it was about to eat her wandered towards Tiffany's table. Sitting down next to Tiffany, it appeared that she was reciting lines to a play in between bites of lumpy oatmeal. "Its it then or than?" She suddenly asked herself, looking to Tiffany. "Oh... sorry, Hi. I'm Gabby." The girl introduced herself.
"Was there anyone sitting here? I'll move if needed. I sometimes get carried away with practicing...." She gave a bit of a blank stare as she seemed to remember something. "Then I must go to..." She continued her recitations, and pulled out a sheet of paper, correcting the place she was at.
Derek grabbed his tray and sat at a table, the girl sitting close to him. Before taking a bite, his group of friends sat around him, his friend James giving him a pat on the head, before yelping and taking back his hand quickly. "Dang, Derek! Cant you lay low on the static, or something?"
"Sorry James. It kinda... does this on its own." To prove his point, a small thread of electricity crackled through his bangs. The group laughed and started eating their bland breakfast.

Tifany looks up from her oatmeal, giving Gabby a brief smile, "Nice to meet you, Gabby. You're welceom to..sit there." Tiffany gave Gabby a sort of blank smile, but if she could have sweat-dropped at that moment, she knew she would have.

Aya made her silent way to the cafeteria, her footsteps minced by the kimon she was wearing. She knew there was a code so she had altered her uniform a bit. She was most comfortable in the outfits she grew up in which consisted mostly of Asian style clothing...she was Asian after all...even if she didn't look much like her mother or father or any of the people she had known when she was home. She pressed her lips together as she pushed open the cafeteria door looked around quickly. First days are always hard, she told herself. She took deep breath headed for the breakfast line.
She found a table near a boy with very messy hair but she didn't stare, it was rude to stare, besides, what did it matter to her how people groomed themselves. She stared down at the very lumpy unappealing meal in front of her thinking that she could have done so much better. HEr mother was a brilliant cook and Aya hoped she'd be as good as her but she liked cooking and wasn't too worried, she might have to admit that her mother was the best and Aya could settle for second best when it included her loving energetic and clever mother.
Aya smiled down at the oatmeal and imagined her mother had made it, just as she liked it, a smooth but not soupy with raisens and a bit of brown sugar and butter. Aya took a bit and she could taste all those flavors mixing together in her mouth like something heavenly.

"Dont like the oatmeal?" Derek asked a girl in a kimono who sat near him. He had never seen anyone wear a kimono in school, but everyone could have their own style, as long as they wore their appropriate capes. "Hey... You're endowed, arent you?" He asked, suddenly remembering seeing her in the Kings Room.
