Fantasy Clash of the Cliques: A Modern Fantasy High School RP

[MechaGhoul]

In an alternate-Earth in the not too distant, which is also somewhat close to the near future, of 199x, there is a school full of fantastical creatures and wonders. The Granite Hills Boarding Institution, is a proud and noble school. It holds quite a unique and varied batch of students within its hallowed chambers, who have formed Cliques and seek to increase their power within the school by any-means necessary.


Welcome to School Politics; The Clique War is upon us. Where do you stand, and how will you shape the outcome of it?


Right, so this game is going to be devoted to the political machinations of the Cliques in their ever-present struggle to take over and increase their power in the School.

So, any questions, comments, or concerns?

 

[Liquid Stars]

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to join in one of these. Aka, totally interested!

 

[DrBones]

Sounds interesting. What kind of faction are the Preppies?

 

[Liquid Stars]

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to join in one of these. Aka, totally interested!


Also, would an emo/goth be under punks?

 

[MechaGhoul]

Cool, already got some interest!


The Preppies, are a collection of stuck-up rich kids. They are the 'powerful elite', and try to solve their issues by throwing money and/or servants at it, to avoid dirtying their own hands. They tend to be really aloof, but when agitated come in as a single solitary threat of doom.


And emo/goth would definitely fall under the Punk Clique.

 

[Liquid Stars]

Do you have a thread set up where I can put a character sheet? Sorry I'm so demanding, I'm just so excited.


Also, is it alright if I'm a nice emo?

 

[MechaGhoul]

Yeah, a Nice Emo is fine, as long as you are rebellious against society, Punks wouldn't mind. Well some in the clique, but over all they wouldn't mind.


Oh! I should also mention you can be Factionless if you so please. Don't expect any true help from any Cliques if you do that though.


As for character sheets, bear with me. I'd prefer to garner the attention for this game, before I fully set it up. Y'know get the people interested and stuff.


Then when I've garnered enough attention, I'll get it settled up.


Hopefully it gets attention quickly, just like it has been so far.


 
However. I will provide an example character sheet template in the mean time.


Note as this is an example character template, it may or may not have some changes when the game is up and such.

[MechaGhoul]

Oh, more interest. Nice! May you play your part in the Clique War dutifully.


Also just gonna drop a bit of tidbits about the School, and a little bit of surroundings.


So the nearest city is Steelpeak, which is a few miles south from the Granite Hills Boarding Institution. It is a pretty dense metropolis, with a surprisingly bustling manufacturing industry. It helps that it has quite a few metal-working factories/plants on the outskirts of the city.


And some little things about the school.

[MechaGhoul]

Aha! More interest has been gained I see. Excellent, excellent. May you all play your part in the Clique War dutifully. And would you look at that, we have a good number for starting up the game. Hopefully even more interest will come. But for starting, this seems like a good number.


So, that being said I shall get to work on getting the thread set up. In the mean time, feel free to speak about any questions, comments, and concerns.

 

[DrBones]

Do you have a Character Sheet skeleton ready, so we can create a character while we wait?

 

[MechaGhoul]

Yeah. Lemme toss it down for ya.

Other: [Anything else you'd like to add]


There you are. Anything else?


 
Oh yes.


Just a side note. You don't need to be a 'new' student. You can be a student who has been at Granite Hills for a period of time. Figured that'd be something that would be worthy of mentioning.


But yeah, feel free to speak with any comments, questions, and concerns you may have.

 

[PhilosophyArcade]

Debating what kind of character I want to play right now, but for the record: Interested.

 

[MechaGhoul]

Rightio. Check it. The IC is now up!
