    The Illustrious.



    G
    oing to college is one thing, plenty of people wish to experience in their lifetimes. It’s a time to open new doors, make new friends, find the love of your life, and just… Find yourself. But what isn’t always talked about is how important the choosing of the college is. Sure one could go to Princeton, Yale, Harvard, or Drexel… But even out of those schools, there is one that is not only equal to them but excels way above what they were and ever could be.

    Dubbed ‘The Campus in the Trees’, Dubois University is here and ready to make itself known. Being the country’s best in basketball, being in top ranks of Law, Business, Computer Science, and Engineering, this school is nothing but the best and those within it have been nicknamed ‘The Illustrious’. Oh, did we forget to mention it’s an HBCU?

    With over 15,000 students, while it may paramount those who try to take it down, it doesn’t mean it isn’t filled with drama. From friends to frenemies, baes to hurt baes, baby mommas and baby daddies, there isn’t a dull moment on campus.

    It’s now a new year and the new freshmen have finally arrived- ready to take on the school and earn the title of being ‘illustrious’. The only question is- How far are they willing to go to get it?

F.A.Q.
(This is for everything not explicitly stated in the overview OR that is commonly rehashed. While this is a running list, please read the overview first, then refer to this list. Feel free to reach out if you need clarification.)

"The overview mentions AkuTheWolfOkami and Kitsune2202 as GM's. Who are you?"
Hi! I'm your friendly neighborhood Aato, a long-time member of the group and occasional helper for this RP.

"Okay, it's an HBCU. What sets it apart from others?"
While this roleplay has a focus on (but not limited to) BIPOC students, it is essentially like any other university RP. However, you will be more likely to encounter the social & political issues (in RP, of course) that are significant within BIPOC communities. If this makes you uncomfortable, we appreciate your interest, but kindly implore you not to join.

"What if I'm interested, but can't join right now?"
This RP occasionally re-opens for "soft reboots" where we recruit a couple of new members at a later date and revamp the story. Look out for those!

"When does the RP close for new members?"
There is no set date. Whenever we feel we have enough people/characters for a solid RP. GM's will keep you posted.

"Where does this RP take place?"
This RP will function heavily through Discord with main posts being made on RPN. (Sometimes GoogleDocs may be utilized when needed). See overview for further details.

FC: Dilia Martins
Name: Emilia “Emmy” Holm
Gender: cis Female
Age: 18
Sexuality: pansexual
Major: computer sciences
Ethnicity: mixed (Danish/Nigerian)

Personality:
Emilia is calm and quiet, a little shy. Once she warms up to new people she gets more chatty, talkative and loud even. Surprisingly she isn’t afraid to tell her opinions - but only if she feels strongly about them. Most of the time it’s easier to be quiet and nod. She bottles up negative emotions and sometimes lashes out, holds grudges.

Bio: (TW: s*icide)
Emilia was raised in Denmark, Copenhagen. She lived with her parents, Danish dad and Nigerian mom and older brother Emil. Her brother was 8 years older and almost a parental figure. They were close and bonded over gaming. Close despite Emil moving away to the states early on. Emmy was raised by all time fighting parents in a turbulent marriage which led to divorce. Mother ended up taking her life, and dad had a new life with a second wife and shared kids. Emmy wasn’t welcomed but her brother took her with open arms.
 
I know you said coding isn't needed, BUT I got excited and had a template on hand anyways. I might have some more fleshing out to do but here is where my character is at so far (there is a scroll in the header):

Valentina Díaz
the freshman that never sleeps
eighteen
female
bisexual
puerto rican
business
marketing

height
5'0 (152.40 cm)
weight
120lbs (54.43 kg)
hair
Her naturally wavey hair falls just above her waist, replicating the color of a fine ebony wood. Heat and humidity tend to cause some frizziness if she isn't careful.
eyes
A captivating mixture of warm browns and greens. Their color shifts according to the lighting.
body type
A New York native, she has grown accustomed to a reasonably active lifestyle. Her honey-toned skin and lean physique extensuate the length of her legs. The sun leaves its mark in the form of freckles on her shoulders.
body modifications
A few different jewels and ink decorate her body. Studs are pierced on both of her ears and her tongue. She also has a small cherry blossom branch tattooed on her lower back, a rose hidden behind her ear, and the word 'divine' outside her right pinkie.
faceclaim
Akima Maldonado (@callmeakima on instagram)
A petal floating in the breeze.
personality
Valentina isn't particularly the "room brightening" type, but her presence certainly commands attention. She always has an approachable and friendly demeanor that may compel you to strike up a conversation. Or perhaps she saw you in the corner of the room, keeping to yourself, and thought you might want some company. Everyone deserves a chance, in her eyes. She isn't easily swayed by social status or gossip. Once someone gets to know her, they would notice the immense care she has for her friends and family. She is always ready to help whenever she can. Another noticeable quality is her academic dedication and entrepreneurial mindset. She's always trying to get hands-on experience in preparation for her future.

Though her help and diligence are appreciated, she can become overly insistent when her efforts are denied or unneeded. She also has an issue with seeing others get what she wants, especially when it comes to lifting her in her chosen future career field. Filtering her thoughts is not her strong suit, so she has a bad habit of speaking or acting before thinking. This can lead to conflicts with others that she doesn't initially fully comprehend. She becomes temporarily grudgeful towards those who have, in her mind, "wronged" her or treated her unfairly. Eventually, she comes around to apologize, but it can be a tiring trait to deal with.
virtues
Compassionate
Determined
Creative
Sincere
vices
Envious
Resentful
Stubborn
Impetuous
likes
Fashion
Shopping
Food
Music
dislikes
Sports
Entitlement
Bad Listeners
Uncleanliness
backstory
Nothing very remarkable is commentable on her upbringing. She was raised by a father who tried his best to instill in his daughter a sense of confidence and belonging in the world. Growing up with a single parent was difficult at first, but her mother left the family when Val was so young that she hardly remembers. At first, it was her dream to go to school for fashion, but after seeing how difficult it was to enter the industry, she decided that instead of working for someone else, she would create a brand of her own. This led her down the path of becoming a business major, allowing her to obtain the knowledge of creating and marketing her own company while she hones her creative skills on the side.
love language
This girl expresses her love in the form of gift giving and acts of service. When it comes to receiving, she appreciates when others spend quality time with her and return her affections with gifts.
MBTI
ISFP: "A personality type with the Introverted, Observant, Feeling, and Prospecting traits. They tend to have open minds, approaching life, new experiences, and people with grounded warmth. Their ability to stay in the moment helps them uncover exciting potentials."
fun facts
I want to fill this out as she is used in roleplay!

Omg, should I have posted more detailed cs? I definitely can. I just understood it needed to be a brief overview and proper cs later 🙈
