Welcome to Starlight Academy. Your new home.
Starlight Academy is a 'school for gifted youngsters' located thousands of meters below the Atlantic Ocean's surface. The academy is run by a deranged headmaster hellbent on usurping the world's political powers and establishing global domination. Children showing signs of special abilities or 'uncommon' skills are kidnapped by sleeper agents and absorbed into the program against their will.
How to sign up:
First, the character sheet, (remove bracketed sections of this CS and any unused optional titles)
Full Name:
Age: (between 14 and 21)
Appearance:
Power/Skill:
Bio: (What your character's life was like before being captured, can include how they were captured)
[Optional]
Theme Song:
Misc details:
(Please wait to be accepted!)
Main rules (please read carefully):
1) Submit CSs and OOC posts here! {
}
2) Starlight Security guards are situated occasionally around the academy. They cannot be 'defeated' in a fight (see 'rules'). It's also worth noting Security Guards are equipped with Starlight, making them immune to supernatural powers (see 'things to keep in mind').
3) All posts should be four full lines long minimum, with less-than-occasional spelling and grammar mistakes. If it is obvious posts/CSs are lacking in detail, I will ask for them to be expanded upon.
4) You can have a maximum of two characters at a time.
5) No god modding, insulting other players, etc, etc. (basically, use common sense)
6) To prove that you've read and agree to the rules, please add a line of white invisible text (the text can be whatever you want, really) underneath your character sheet.
Some things to keep in mind:
• Starlight Security guards are intimidating, handpicked professionals, and are very good at what they do. A fight can be started with one, but it'll unwittingly end with your character being dragged back to their dorm. (Guards are 'free characters' and you may control them in your post as you wish, so long as it doesn't break rule 2)
• Not all students were woken up from cryostasis immediately, some had their thaw dates delayed until their vitals were stable. (New characters that join later are these delayed students)
• Your character will have no recollection between their capture and waking up at Starlight. The method of entering/exiting the Academy is a well kept secret.
• Starlight, (the element the school is constructed with, and what staff use to protect themselves) is sort of like kryptonite for supernatural powers. It's not as much an important plot device as it is a barrier against god-modding.
• Headmaster Mason is the only non-free 'staff' character, and such can only be controlled by myself.
• Day/night timeskips still exist, even though we're underwater.
FAQ:
(This segment is updated frequently, so it pays to check back from time to time.)
Q: Can my character's power be that they're immune to Starlight?
A: Nah.
Q: Can my character have a backstory that involves Starlight Academy and they know all the entire layout of the facility and-
A: Nah.
Q: How come X has broken rule Y and they get away with it?
A: Chances are it's under reasonable conditions thus I have allowed it. If you suspect someone's broken a rule, please message me about it before openly accusing them.
Q: Can my character be an animal?
A: Nah.
Q: Can my character evenly match a security guard?
A: Nah.
Q: Aren't Security Guards kinda god-modded characters?
A: Yep.
Q: Do security guards have supernatural powers?
A: Nope. They rely solely on wit to overcome supernaturals. (that and their Starlight armor, naturally)
Q: What's the character power limit?
A: The limit of common sense. If your character's an OP human multi tool, probably not going to be accepted.
If in doubt, message me.
Q: How come you haven't replied to my CS yet?
A: Cuz I'm lazy. Message me if you suspect I've missed a post.
Q: How long have characters been in cryostasis?
A: Characters have been plucked from different times. Maximum fifty years (start of the Starlight program), minimum six months (end of the kidnapping phase). It's your choice how long your character has been frozen with the peas.
Q: Where is everything?
A: The dorms resemble a minuscule city - like blocks of flats - surrounding the canteen, which resembles a sort of town square. Classes are connected the the dorm hub via corridors. Confused? I'm not surprised. Message me if you're still unclear.
I look forward to playing with you all!
