Notice: We're now looking for teachers, though students is still open. we'd appreciate either just I'm running out of NPC ideas >.< - hello, welcome fellow humans. well, I can only assume you're humans so- okay, moving along here. this roleplay is futuristic, whatever, I guess. There might end up being electronics or characters with a tail and antennas, or someone wearing a tunic and says 'shalleth' or something like that. so, just be mindful of that. This is one of those magic school things, but with my own twist in it. Sure, it's a magic school, but they're all studying to become crew mates together stuck on a pirate ship. So the school was built on a cliff next to the ocean. Below the cliff is a beach with crystal blue waters, but on the land area it splits off into a forest going for miles with no roads of escape. The beach below contains a trial ship, the one the students practice in and old brick buildings partly in the forest hold the housing areas. Although, some archaeologists recently discovered a pirates sword buried in a deep ocean trench for ages. It had been brought to the school, and was rumored to be cursed. Strangely, reports of ghosts were being turned in around the surrounding area. Fog surrounds the school in the morning and that's when things become strange. . Upon showing up the students will drag their stuff into the main area and announce that they've arrived, whether that means yelling 'i'm here' or telling the staff that they're arrived. afterwards they have to go stake out a spot in the dorms and talk to everyone else till the next day when class starts. rules: -all of WP and Eve's rules -be mindful of other people here. if you have a problem with some stuff here then you can leave as we don't want any hate. -going with that, in sign-ups and discussion no pointless arguments please, teasing is an exception though -add 'giraffe' into other if you read this. I'll try to be stricter than usual >.< -I have the right to reject any of these forms -don't kill or seriously injure someone else's character without their permission -semi-literate is our literacy level here, although writers block is understandable. -I consider 5 sentences to be a paragraph and we have a minimum of 1 paragraph per post. -take as many characters as you can handle -lgbtq+ is allowed here. -pets are allowed along with otherworldly companions and complicated abilities enabling some interdimentional creature . character sheet: Name: age(14-19): gender: ability: studying to be: (trusting you to look up your role on your own) appearance: personality: strengths and weaknesses: (this one's because I'm curious) A song you character would likely put on loop: other: looking forwards to your chaotic creations here;)I've had some strange ones appear before oh, but what about figures in authority? Teacher form: Name: age(20-?): gender: ability: Area(s) of expertise: appearance: personality: other: These are shorter because they're likely to be secondary, less used characters. . the school's rules are a little...nonexistent besides the obvious things like 'don't kill each other' stuff. I mean, it depends on the teacher really. Other than that it's a bit of a free for all where they're supposed to figure out their own rules for being stuck together on a ship. They've got to learn to deal with each other and hand out punishments according to the rules they've agreed upon. Links: |

This post contains information about the school in more detail and its classes. (this is a map-thing? it's not mandatory to read about the school, but suggested to get the layout down) The school itself is made up of pieces from old ships. The sides are from a giant hull and the back is the remnants of the original building there. In the center a huge flagpole comes up for interchangeable flags. When you walk into the school you see a room with an aquarium tank in the center of it from the ceiling to the floor. Coral and seaweeds spiral up like a column while tropical fish make it their home. To the sides are hallways leading down to classrooms, then connect to the gym. A courtyard sits in the center of the school, growing unruly from lack of care. The stone pathway through is sprouting grass and weeds from between the cracks, the trees have moss growing up their sides, the grass is growing wild, and the stone benches have fallen over. Well, back to the main room. To the right of the entrance is a reception desk where one of the teachers will sit to take note of how many people are entering. Or sleep- sometimes they sleep instead. Don't bother asking for a map of the place either, you'd just have to figure it out. To the left of the entrance would be a trophy wall. The school likes to take pride in achievements for the students bringing back trinkets from raids. Which explains the stuffed teddy bear nailed to the wall. Each hallway leads to three classrooms, all facing away from the couryard. Each classroom has a storage closet, a chalkboard, a countertop, and two windows in it along with desks. Other than that, it depends on the classroom. On the right, first you will see the History classroom. The back wall, above the countertop has a world map up and a globe sitting in front of it. The next classroom is the Astrology and Navigation classroom. The roof of that room has glowing star stickers up in the form of constilations. The last classroom before the gym is boat identification. The back counter has different types of boats on it and example flags above that. A stack of textbooks sit in an empty chair to its left. On the other end of the hallway there's the chemistry room. The walls are scorched in some areas or have gashes in them. It could use some paint. Old formulas are barely visible on the chalkboard and bottles of who-know-what occupy the countertop. Next is the music classroom. That classroomis usually filled with noise, but when empty, filled with paper. Old music sheets decorate the countertop in big stacks. A big box of props is over in the corner of the room for when they get into plays. Last is the art room. This room is splattered with paints and...glitter? the old glitter incident left a lasting impact on that space. The cabinets are filled with paint jars, drawing utensils, and air-tight bags of clay. Old works of art from previous students are displayed on the walls and sculptures on the countertop. Then we have the gym which is basically an all-purpose room by now. There's a large closet on the far end of the room which holds sport equipment and other tools from different events. The main use for the gym is weapon handling and form classes. They have large mats for rougher things and rope ladders on the wall and part of the ceiling. A catch net reaches out after a certain point, but has holes in it and some rope dangles down. Notice how there's no cafeteria? The students are expected to put together their own meals in the dorms. Each is equiped with enough kitchen supplies to match those of a ship. Of course, the person in charge of each classroom can add or take away certain things, move them, paint over the walls, and bring other furniture bits in. Their room, their rules. - Classes: the things in parenthesis show what's in the class. For art and music you can choose what you want to do. Art (Here various art forms flourish. things like carpentry, painting and drawing, sculpting, and architecture rest in this room.please note that glitter is banned due to previous incidents.) Music (Learn 300 year old sea shanties, poetry, old dances, and theatre. Foreign languages are not to be taken lightly in this class.) Astrology and Navigation (The stars were used as maps in the old days since real maps were rare and they wouldn't be that accurate anyways. Learn constilations and underwater current patterns here) weapons handling and form (Ever want to learn fencing properly, but keep dropping it on your toe? Never fear, here provides the perfect enviroment to train with various tools without getting hurt. Probably- This would also be the equivalent to physical education) History (Find old methods sof pirating and famous sailors in this class. Each leads a long-lasting legacy that still leaves an impact on humanity to this day.) Chemistry (so, explosions, gunpowder, unidentified objects, and science. blowing things up sounds fun, right?) boat identification (Know what type of boats are best for what weather, or seas. Also, different flag types and what each flag means. For example, the flag 'bravo' would mean carrying dangerous cargo.) That's just a general description of the classes, although the person in charge of it can change it however they want. |

Jack Hickory "No one cares that you're offended" age 16.5 gender male ability electricity. not storm clouds, just electricity. meaning lightning without the thunder studying to be Gunner. He's always dreamed to be the guy who aimed the cannons. Still, he works with swordplay often appearance Jack appears to be five foot eight with a slightly yellow skin tone. He has a small rounded off face shape with a pointed out nose, yet rounded off at the tip. His ears are...human, to say the least. His eyes are actually a different color on each end. The right is brown while the other is similar at a red-brown color. These shine with a feeling of determination and can blink to the “death” glare in a second. His lips are a chapped light pink color in a thin shape. The most common facial expression for Jack is playfulness. He loves to tease with people. His eyebrows remain caramel brown while his hair is a golden blond. This hair, if wet, would probably drop down to his nose. When dry, though, he has it to where the left side hangs over his forehead and part of his eye. The right is just kind of swept out of the way. It’s usually straight, but sometimes clings onto other strands of hair and has a slight curling look to it. The back looks jaggedly cut in short layers. He is unnaturally skinny for a typical boy at his age. He actually hates that because his sister can still pick him up like he would be 10. This is caused by a disorder that doesn’t really get in the way other than that. He hates being called a little kid by his older sister sometimes just because of his appearance and the way he smiles sillily. You know that one kid in track who wears neon shoes so you can always tell who it is? That’s Jack. As you can probably figure out already, he wears neon green shoes that are splattered with mud all over. Anyways, he has a light grey shirt saying “ew people” in black on the front of it clearly displaying his dislike for humans sometimes. The shirt has the sleeves cut a little under shoulder length and goes to about his waist. The collarline remains a crewneck shape. Other times he switches to a shirt with a simple stick figure on it. That represents how he views humans. "and you're a human, and you're a human, and you to. oh, I'm supposed to remember names?" Over that he has a black hooded sweatshirt he’s been rocking for years. The hood tightens with the use of a pullable cord and there’s a pocket on the front he stores essential items in. On the front of it are a few red roses under a white rectangle. Some of the leaves poke over the rectangle in the design, but he really doesn’t care. Occasionally he can be seen with a black beanie-style hat on. He usually just wears loose jeans and is actually more comfortable in those than in sweatpants. Sometimes he can even be found in a belt. The only one he owns, actually. It’s mostly for formal occasions anyway. Now, Jack isn’t really a jewelry guy, but there are some things one could receive as gifts and become too attached to over time. Because of that he finds himself wearing a silver angel’s wing ear cuff whenever out and about personality Jack is...well...hyper, to start. And easily excitable. He thinks he’s friends with everyone and will do very weird things as a call for attention. You can almost always find him talking; about what is usually unclear with some quick topic changes. He’s usually a happy-go-lucky teen without a care in the world who would crash his bike and hop up retelling every “fun” detail in his “quest”. Although, his emotions can flash by in quick stages or hit as quick as- lightning. Leaping into danger is a specialty. The amount of times he has almost died is just ridiculous at this point. Fantasy and nonsensical metaphors are his life and blood, like the story of the dragon and the minifridge. He doesn’t believe in “gods”. Jack just says he’s in charge of himself- or in metaphorical terms the captain of the ship. Just doesn’t think there’s greater forces out there even if he is obsessed with myths. Here’s a strange thing, He can be uncaring about the human race sometimes-even though he’s a people person. Names always escape his grasp and he refuses to let them become too attached to him. Sure, this portion of him rarely appears, but it could be worded like this, for example: He would rather attack humans than animals if forced to because animals are more helpless and don’t stand a chance while humans are larger and can do better at self defense. Scaring easily is a recognizable trait for him. If someone were to clap suddenly behind him he might jump fifteen feet into the air. Be careful if you are to do so, though, he’ll talk over it later and get revenge first. I’m going to give this one last thing a paragraph of its own since it doesn’t fit in personality and I don’t want to put it in other as it is more of an explanation for something in the ‘likes’ section. Jack plays sports hardcore sometimes. He tries his absolute hardest until either it’s over or someone forces him to stop. Take this one part of baseball as an example: Ever since discovering his disorder he tries to work on strength to make up for that hole in his life as he finds it to be a major component in his existence. He tries to work on how hard he might be able to swing a bat or be able to throw something. Accuracy is also another thing he wants to work on to make sure he can hit the target properly. This plays into his success in swordplay. All the making sure you can block right, hit the right thing, or even hit it hard enough. Most things he enjoys turns into a hardcore competition of trying to prove to himself it’s good enough. Also, it’s something-just something- that he has to feel good about himself like it’s one of his better qualities. strengths and weaknesses Strengths Swordplay, making a mess out of things, finding lost items in the way of treasure hunting, A good grip (for-uh-swinging around on random objects like a monkey Weaknesses flashing lights, awkward silence, he gets slight motion sickness, his first impression of everyone else is inferior(it does change though) song other giraffe Awaits for the day to be given a sword like “you should know how to use this” then respond with “heck yes” and start lunging at things playfully. |

Fenris Hawk "Somedays I think most of my world is hallucinated" Age 18 Gender male Ability I just had a paragraph explaining it and realized there's a word to sum up that whole thing. Illusion Studying to be Sailing master Appearance Fenris is around 5 foot eleven and built like a runner. His skin is slightly pale with pink blushed cheeks. His nose is smaller, poking up in a smooth arch. On the right side of it, just above the cheek is a light freckle as an identifying feature. His lips are thin with a pale pink color and when smiling his canines poke out at a strange point. A thin wire retainer slides across the front four teeth and loops at the canines, gleaming like when he was in middle school. His eyes are darker than usual nowadays, slight dark circles showing under them. Sometimes they’re hidden with a bit of makeup- just don’t tell anyone I said that. His pupils are an aqua blue with hints of grey flooding in from the top. Sometimes you can’t really tell they’re slightly green if he’s wearing contacts. The eyelashes are black, of course, but the roots are grey and bleeding into the rest of the lash. His eyebrows are thin black strips, the right showing signs of accidentally being half cut off a few years ago. He’s still working on that. The hair is slightly longer in the back with bangs to his eyes in the front. The back is cut in layers leading to a point at the end of his neck and the front styled messy-like with hair gel. It’s a light wavy style, but dyed emerald green. In some lights it looks neon even. Anyways, Fenris would be considered a bit...unmuscular, for a guy. He’s trying to be otherwise, but keeps giving up and just draws instead; or something that isn’t difficult at least. His hands have well-defined knuckles with thin fingers trained to make graceful movements as his hand sweeps across the surface of a notepad. Fenris wears black plastic cross earrings. The right has a chain connecting it to a cuff piercing. He has a fake black belt choker with a gold buckle on the front. There’s a chain in the back to get it off, though. A rubber ring is on his left middle finger. It’s clear with a green ferm circling its innards. This is just for decoration, really. Something to stand out by; although the rubber rips if caught on something to prevent losing a finger. Sometimes he wears a black, worn baseball cap saying “no fear”on it in white. Two silver loops go through the front of it in a k-pop styled hat. If wearing his glasses when too lazy to put in contacts, they’d just be black frames with a silver dot on each end for decoration. He usually wears a loose white shirt with the words “but did you die?” on it in black. Over that is a blue plaid shirt with black and white strips on it. For colder days is a white jacket with a blue hood. Blue lightning decorates the front with black strips going from the neckline to the sleeve on each end. A golden star patch rests right above where the heart would be and the hood’s strings are black, with a silver string running through it. Ripped jeans is what he’s usually found in. It’s pretty rare to see him in something else. His shoes looked like they were attacked by a graffiti artist. They’re a mix of neons with black laces. This kid almost always has his backpack with him too. It is olive green and black in color with two keychains on it. One is an octagon saying kingdom worker on it, the other a golden sword. Then his pockets usually hold both gum and a paperclip in it, although we’re not getting into why the paperclip just yet. Personality Fenris has two sides to him; the one people he knows and the public sees, and the one a few close friends and himself see. The first is a mask over his true self designed to be normal. Normal being a label created by humans to shame others different than themselves, of course. Humans have taught him that if you have something to say, they have something to turn it into a joke. He is just done with most humans in this way. If someone were to talk to him he wouldn’t be too hopeful of becoming friends. By this he just stays quiet and is hesitant to say anything for fear of being made fun of. He would consider himself to be pretty smart, but tries to make his appearance casual, like one of those “cool” kids. Attracting attention is a goal, but not in a bad way at least. One thing he’s working towards is being confident around other people and not feeling like falling asleep from lack of excitement and missed opportunities. Because of some of this, he’s a bit socially awkward now, avoids interaction when possible, and freaks out over little details. Occasionally his mind will twist things like a hallucination in thoughts and he’ll end up believing the world is against him. Now he’s really just distant from the world, but eyes show longing for something he wants to do and is too reluctant to do so. Mkay, here’s the other part to him. This is the end shown in his own territory. Fenris could appear boastful and confident, like he’s the center of the world here. Just, not confident enough to try this dancing concept out yet. That’s a never on his list. His mind will wander to the wildest games to get him in trouble; either from being lost, or being a “bad” example for little childrenses nearby. When this way he ends up hyper and easily excited. He’d be somewhat more brave and likely to do really dumb things like going sledding off of the roof. Although, he’s still cautious and would try to make sure the impact wouldn’t break anything. His smile rarely ceases this way like a disease. He is adventurous and explores everything, everywhere. Here he acts out and gets into trouble a lot because he’s probably going insane from the quiet. Occasionally at night he’ll stare into the mirror and for a split second see a person with a big smile, but crazed eyes. That gets shaken off as a hallucination and nothing more than that though. Someday he’d love to go on an adventure of his own with mythical beasts, like the books. Sometimes he tries to write his own books of fantasy, and is learning art for his own character illustrations. Strengths and Weaknesses Strengths Fenris is very agile, has absurd solutions to issues, lockpicking (like the paperclip incident, we are not getting into that right now), good sense of navigation. Weaknesses He’s not a very good team player, very bad at forgiveness and letting things go, fear of blood, and being in large groups of people. Song This Yeah, all I listen to is nightcore these days Other Giraffes:P would absolutely love to learn how to play the guitar someday. |

"You can learn a lot by just watching people do their thing." Name Aiden ("eye-den") Jackson Powell Age 17 Gender Male/masculine Ability He can communicate with animals and manipulate their actions. This doesn't sound like an amazing power at first glance, but being able to ask a bird where the nearest island is could definitely come in handy. Studying to be A carpenter, able to repair the ship on the open sea. This is a fairly valuable position actually, a skilled carpenter is usually fairly respected on the ship. Appearance Aiden is tall and lanky, standing at about 6 feet tall. He has mostly lean muscle framing a strong, broad-shouldered build he hasn't quite grown into yet. His skintone is a warm tan, a golden olive-y shade. He has vivid hazel eyes that shift from green to grey to brown in the light, as well as round, thin-rimmed glasses. He is near-sighted. He has wavy dark brown hair that's shorter on the sides and longer on top, though not by a lot. Aiden is a little intimidating at first, with his height combined with his uncanny gaze. He constantly seems to be analyzing your every move as he looks at you. His hands are covered in calluses from practicing his trade. He doesn't put a whole lot of thought into clothing, but can usually be seen in semi-casual but movable work clothes in earthy, neutral shades of green, grey and brown. These shades match well with his complexion and eye color.
Personality Aiden comes across as a rather reserved, but mature and diligent young man, dedicated to becoming the best at his craft and making his teachers proud. He isn't much of a talker, but when he does he is usually well-spoken and polite. He is surprisingly book-smart and enjoys learning about new things. He is an endlessly curious soul, always wanting to know how the world around him works. Everything from the stars in the sky, to the tides, to the kitchen sink must have a reason for being the way it is. And Aiden is determined to find the answers. He can get very philosophical at times, and has a fascination with the supernatural and the unknown. Unfortunately all this time focusing on carpentry and being shut up in the library means he isn't the most socially adept person. He has become good at basic, surface-level communication with his peers. But anything more in-depth than a short answer question about something school related (anything about himself or his personality) he may be hesitant to answer. He is rather socially awkward at times, but he is more oblivious to anything else. He can be distant, sometimes seeming lost in his own world, leaving him little time to think about the people around him. This makes him a very honest, genuine person, and you know when he speaks that he is saying his honest thoughts. But it also means that the first thing that pops into his head will be his immediate reply. And to his dismay, whatever he blurts out can sometimes hurt people's feelings. Which he never means to do. There isn't an aggressive or vengeful bone in his body. Overall, if you are patient with him and let him get used to you, he will start to open up and share his carefully-guarded opinions and thoughts with you (which he doesn't share easily.) Animals and people who are close to him may describe him as calming and stabilizing. A patient, good listener who gives surprisingly objective, good advice. You may even be subjected to his somewhat offbeat sense of humor. Not dark or sarcastic or anything, just odd. Like him.
Strengths Open-minded both towards new people and new ideas, a calming/stabilizing presence, loyalty, patience, his ability to communicate with animals (of course), able to focus intently on a task, perceptive and observant, always absorbing and learning new things. Already has a knack for doing his job, ad has good intuition when it comes to fixing things. Genuine in his words and actions, and able to connect with and comfort people in a quiet, organic kind of way. Also quite creative when he needs to be, and enjoys carving random things in his free time. Weaknesses His nearsightedness, he doesn't like conflict, he's prone to shutting down/disassociating under pressure, can be cold, distant and apathetic if you hurt his feelings. Socially oblivious as I stated earlier, though this is more apparent with humans than animals (they don't usually mind.) Can seem distant, slow and even stupid at times, since he can't think on his feet very well in subjects he doesn't know a lot about. Not the best at communicating when it comes to... anything other than work. Feelings are stressful.
Song Other He has various different animal companions he's met over time (undercover Disney princess ?) but many of them are wild, not pets, coming and going as they please. They range from wolves to deer, to mink, to whatever else he can find on the island and beyond. He does have one consistant pet though: a female tabby cat named Iris. He has never met a giraffe before, but he would like to. |

I would probably mention something about pirates, and something about it taking place at a school for pirates-in-training, in the ad. Also it might be a good idea to settle on a time period for simplicity's sake? If you want aspects of every time period in there, I'd probably recommend making it in the future. |
