<---------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 valid at Ever After Academy, where a happily is always found after a good education.
[The RP] | [OOC Chat]
---
This roleplay is not mine in any shape or form. The original idea, coding, and wording came from Unintentional Happiness. Then it was edited (but mostly kept the same) by Elesariin. Even though I plan to change things around a tad, I know the credit fully belongs to these two. I’m just here trying to build up a roleplay that died for no apparent reason. They had an excellent idea and eager members waiting to roleplay. However, it was just never open either times. Luckily, the third time is a charm, so we’ll finally be able to roleplay out this wonderful idea.
Link to the original | Link to the first remake
In any case, this is the to-be OOC thread for the roleplay, but I will post all the information here so well, so that everyone knows what he or she needs to be doing in order to join. I hope that you all enjoy!

/// shana_marie and Isa-sama are in charge for now on.
_________________elaineenicolee went on permanent hiatus.
[♫] Their word is final:: If there is a quarrel or disagreement Out Of Character, their word is final. If someone chooses not to listen, then he or she 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 someone's writing is absolutely atrocious, I may request that he or she leave. Also, I'd like there to be at least 10+ lines per post (two+ 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.
[♫] Limit of two characters per person:: Please, only two characters per person. Though, I’d prefer you’d start with one so I know how you roleplay with one before I accept another character. Even though you can have two characters, there will be no twins, family, or a best friend your original character had back at home. This is because you were disclosed from all family and friends back at home according to the plot, therefore we don’t want to mess with it.
[♫] Romance, Drama, and Fighting Allowed:: In all actuality, where would all the fun be if none of these things were allowed in the roleplay? 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 of 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. However, if your profile is finished and is taking far too long to be reviewed, please PM me.
[♫] 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 roleplay. I want something that'll stand out in a crowd.
[♫] Make Characters Realistic:: 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 nonsensical; make sure they flow and work well with what is needed. By the way, I'd like you to state your original 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 a fairytale character, is good at everything. It's just that simple.
[♫] Stay Active:: Please post at least twice a week. If you want to leave the roleplay or you aren’t going to be able to post for awhile 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. It’s all right for a little bit, but once you pass one page of this, you need to stop and wait for others to get on. 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 9 to 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.
[♫] No magical changes in appearance:: These are fairytale characters, or at least, they're kids learning how to be fairytale characters. Some of them are going to develop magical abilities, eventually. That said, unless your fairytale character has the power to change their appearance, they are not going to be able to magically shift from their everyday selves to their fairytale personas. Any changes between the two have to be accomplished through tricks of make-up, acting, or special effects.
[♫]Obey My Second in Command:: In an attempt to prevent the problem that killed this RP the last time around, I am going to have a second in command. He or she will have the power to approve profiles, and, by the same token, send people back to the drawing board if he or she feels profiles aren’t up to par. If I am gone for an extended period of time, he or she will take complete charge of the RP, at which time he or she will chose his or her own second in command. This way, those applying to the RP with hopefully never be left without some means to get in. Once I pick someone to be my second in command, there name will be listed here.
[♫] We reserve the right to change the 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 listened to them(in books and the like). They live on in our hearts, in our minds, and 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.
All fairytale characters are constantly changing, although it is almost impossible for any one person to tell, or any mere "mortal" to tell. Every time a fairytale character dies off, they are soon replaced. Whenever one retires, they are replaced. Whenever... well, you get the drift. It happens constantly; a fairytale character is replaced with someone who is almost a 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 characters from 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, mostly, who have been taught to mentor the students into their own storybook roles. Meanwhile, there are enemies, loves, and the like written in; it's a high school after all, and of course not everything is as simple as "Happily Ever After". Among the students, set prejudices are almost enforced to a tee. Say, one girl happens to turn out to be an "Ugly" stepsister, and another is Cinderella. Teachers and other staff seem to enjoy encouraging mutual 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, very enjoyable indeed.
Currently, the school seems to be experiencing certain 'difficulties', nothing too serious, aside from students arriving and the like. Certain students, it seems, are starting to stir and try to revolt against the ingrained prejudices. Others are trying to encourage them, while others, quite simply could not care less. There has been no real conflict that has happened yet, but it seems that hot blood is beginning to stir.
The staffs reaction to this has been toforce some of the more vocal students into their fairytale characters at times that seem almost pointless (of course, times apart from the "character practice" class). It seems there has been talk, recently, of a riot going through the grounds.
The students, 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.
You 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 again are they allowed to return home. 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. Though… it really wouldn’t matter if they did; 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 other type of being. 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 of its 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 cliché 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 cliché, but hell they seem to be popping up everywhere now-a-days). To continue, the school is hidden in the deep, not-so-deep, forest. A single dirt path way seems to lead to the main part of the school. Trees line the outer part of it, and the branches reach downward toward whomever passes in an eerie sort of fashion. It's not meant to scare students, but rather warn them of what is ahead.
After the first few miles along the main path, there are three separate 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 how quickly one wishes to get to their destination. 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, with no trees line the sides, instead sporting rather rocks and stunted shrubbery. 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 few truly wish to venture down it.
----
At the end of the three pathways, they join once more, and soon it looks once more like the original path, making the three way split almost completely pointless. 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, rather mystic looking swirl around it and a crown atop it all. The gates seem to appear out of nowhere from an enormous hedge, which seems to be roughly twenty-feet high and just about fifteen feet thick. The gates slowly open with a creek, and soon the actual school grounds and the front of the building seem to shine through.
The school itself is blocked off from everything 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.

<---------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. The blue dorms are for the guys while the red dorms are for the girls. Although, there are no specific rules stating that either sex cannot travel to the other floor. Each dorm is designed to room one person.
To the right are the "red dorms". Each bedroom is spacious and adorned with one full-sized bed on the left side of the room. All bedrooms have two glass sliding doors, as well as a balcony, which will allow them to see their red dorm counterparts. From where one enters, there’s a closet on the right of a small hallway. The closet is a walk-in and gives enough space to hang a substantial amount of clothing. Inside there’s a mirror on the left side of the door, a dresser on the left wall and on the back and right wall there’s two racks to hold clothing on. On the opposite side of the hallway, there’s a bathroom. In the bathroom they have a separate shower and tub. All though, the tub is on the far end of the left wall while the shower is on the far end of the right. Also on the right wall, there’s a sink when you first walk in and a toilet between the shower and sink. Above the toilet is a medicine cabinet and above the sink is a mirror. The walls are a delicate pale yellow and the floors are porcelain white. Back in the main room off to the side closest to the sliding glass doors is a fairly large desk. The flooring of the dorm room is a simple white carpet, soft to the touch, but nothing like shag. All of the dorm walls (besides the bathrooms) are originally an off white; however, the school does give the students the option to have it painted any color of their choice before their arrival. The students are also allowed to send any furniture they want ahead of them and it’ll be set up before their arrival. The furniture must be able to fit in the bedroom.
The blue dorms are almost exactly the same, excepting the fact that everything is reversed.
As more characters apply, more dorms will be added. There is no limit on characters, but I do want the boys and girls to be even.

<---------S O M E [H E L P F U L] L I N K S J U S T || I N || C A S E 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 - 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.
Click - This is yet another link to the original RP. Why? Because I honestly think you should take a look, of course. The accepted profiles and surrounding chatter will give you a pretty solid idea of what I'm looking for.
Click – This is a GaiaOnline resourse that gives you every color they offer. You can use this to design your post in whatever way you please. Although, I do believe that there are other colors and codes added since then, therefore if you have a better resource could you please tell me.
Click - This is a TekTek resourse that allows you to blend multiple colors together in a word. You can also use this to design your post in whatever way you deside possible.
Click - This resource is good for developing your character. If you want a character with a lot more depth than just a thrown together one, this helps a lot. It provides about 100 questions to answer that help you invent your character. Feel free to post your answers in the OOC Chat so we can all get to know your character more!
Click – This is my main RP. In other words, it’s my baby. It shows a fairly good example of what I’m expecting. It’s a tad more laid back than this one is going to be though. (Well, if you look at the last 10-20 pages it shows what I'm expecting.) Also, we’re trying to revive it, so if you join I will love you forever.
