Well.... I guess this is as good a time to start this as any. I have a page with the concept of the RP, and I hope it's gathered enough interest. :)

Story: It's an ordinary day in Mitadake High school. There are very few students there, and only one faculty member, since everyone else has already left for the day. The remaining students are packing up to leave when they hear the front gate close and lock. Bars slide over the windows, leaving no exit from the school. A voice is heard throughout the school via the announcement system, saying in a bland electronic voice "school lockdown initiated. Faculty member has been found dead, school will remain in lockdown until the police arrive ((police never arrive till the end of the game)). Tape of murder saved to security office for police use. Please remain calm but on your guard until police arrive." The message plays several times, and is followed by silence. There are very few students left in the school, and one of them murdered the faculty member. The students must survive the lockdown, and the killer must attempt to kill the rest of the students.

The tapes of the murder are in the security office, and there are two of them. There will be a 40% chance either shows the correct person, and a 20% chance that they're both wrong. The killer can erase the tapes, and anyone can view them while they still exist. Please don't say what the tapes show in your post if you look at them, I'll post what they say.

There are many rooms in the school, including a gym storage room ((some weapons could be found there)), the principal's office ((can make announcements to the rest of the school, the voice is always the same so the messages stay ananomous ((I have no idea how to spell that)). There are a variety of other rooms too, it's not limited to those.

Rules:
1. no godmodding or having some "intuition" or "feeling" as to who the killer is based off of things that you read in the RP but your character wasn't there for.

2. No making your character an expert in weapons or a police officer in disguise as a student. Every character is just a student at the school, even the killer. You may, however, give your character a skill they might have in real life, e.g knowing a martial art or being able to swing a baseball bat hard from being on the school baseball team.

3. Be realistic. If the killer is hiding behind a door, and you step through and the killer starts to choke you, there is very little chance you would be able to escape that.

4. Have one hell of a time ((I know this is a cliche final rule :roll: ))


Character sheet:

Name: ((put an asterisk by it if you would like to apply for the killer, who will be informed via PM))

species: ((up to you, can be anything that doesn't give a distinct advantage over other players))

age: ((14-19))

Appearance: ((describe well, put in a picture, do whatever yuo want, though the character must wear the white and blue school uniform))

History: ((not all that important to this RP, it's optional though you probably want to do it if it includes something important, e.g on the concept thread for this, Optix wanted to speak only broken english))

Personality: ((nothing is set in stone, and personality's might change during events in the game))

Strengths/positive attributes:

weaknessess/negative attributes:

medical conditions: ((optional, but if you're character has a disease, an allergy, anything at all, put it here))

other: ((something about your character that doesn't fit in the other categories, type it up here))

So, I hope this RP gets at least ummm.... who am I kidding, it probably won't get too many people, but I can always hope. :(

Well, The IC is about to go up, or by the time you read this it probably WILL be up, but that's beside the point at the moment. Here's the final character list:

Rose Midna, a red fox morph with some medical training
Billy Morgan, a borderline nerd who's good at thinking logically
Raphael Felidae, an ocelot morph on the school soccer team
Spiro Tzounos, a new student who speaks mostly greek and only fractured english (knows karate and Brazilian jujitsu)
Drisk Kayne, a species-ist tai-kwon-do student
Carla Kollet, a cat girl who's a skilled guitarist
Lucius Archis, a transfer student from California
Kat Swan, a sixth-lingual (I don't know what it's really called) person who knows boxing and has weapons training.

Hell, this sounds fun. ^^

Name: Rose Midna [I like this name, I've used it before if you've seen the More than human rp]

Species: Red fox morph

Age: 17

Appearance: Red fur, green eyes, lean build like a gymnast. About 5'6" 125 lbs. long blond hair, black 'socks' on all her paws and eartips.

History: She has had gymnastics training so she's limber and quick on her feet. Also has a bit of medical training so she'll be able to patch up wounds and the like. [Thanks to Raphael for the idea ^^]

Personality: She's kind and gentle, on the quiet side.

Strengths: She's a bit of a leader personality despite her nature. She doesn't like to take charge much but if she has to she can get the job done.

Weaknesses: Fears bugs and scares easily.

Other: Can't think of much but I might get something later.

approved, cool character. One thing though, what's a red fox morph?

I would kinda like to play the killer. Even if I don't get it, you won't be able to tell until someone else kills someone. :P

*Name: Billy Morgan (I've used this name before... In an RP I killed... But I liked the character.)

species: Ordinary Human

age: 18

Appearance: At 5'4", he's a bit on the short side, and dislikes it when people point this out. He has a good sized nose, and wears a small, rectangular pair of glasses. He carries an emergency back up pair in his back pack. Those are huge, thick coke bottle glasses. He usually wears a simple hoodie and blue jeans.

History: A borderline nerd, he takes programming classes, enjoys math, physics, and various other nerdy classes. But he isn't obsessed with the internet, D&D, or other various nerdy things, even if he does participate occasionally.

Personality: Normally a very nice person most of the time, he will do just about anything for anyone, provided they are nice enough in asking. Though, if he just doesn't like you, he won't help a lick. If you piss him off, which is slightly easier to do than you'd think, he becomes unpredictable, and this change is quite shocking, and even a bit scary to those that know him. His bowel pains have shortened his temper quite a bit. Pointing out his shortness will piss him off faster.

Summary: He's nice 'til you piss him off, then he's quite scary.

Strengths/positive attributes: A nice person, is fairly smart and logical, almost to the point of being cold when asked to logically think things through. It's kind of hard not to like him if you spend any amount of time around him.

weaknessess/negative attributes: His temper. He can explode if you push his buttons to much. Once you incur his wrath, you pretty much get to keep it, as he won't be nice to you for quite a while, and you will have to jump through hoops to get his friendship back.

medical conditions: Has Crohn's disease, and it was only recently discovered, so he's still on the medicine to help treat it. He's still prone to flare ups, and sharp bowel pains. The bowel pains are bad enough on occasion to paralyze him in a pile on the floor. (I have this, trust me, I have laid in bed for an hour, clutching my stomach in pain before. Crohn's ain't pretty.)

How dat?

A fox furry. You know, like keidran. But with smaller paws and a muzzle instead of a humanoid mouth.

well i've been dying to try out an RP so why not

Name: Raphael Felidae

Species: Ocelot morph (sorry for the morph copying fox)

Age: 18 1/2

Sex: male

Appearance: 5'11", 159 lbs 8 oz, hazel-green eyes (a rare eye color for Ocelot morphs). Basically a humanoid Ocelot; dark goldenrod fur with black leopard-like patterns. He has a sunburst shaped black spot on his white fur just below his neck (an extremely unique feature among his race). For his uniform he wears blue loose fit cargo pants with a white collarless T-shirt. he also tends to wear black and red sport gloves on his claws for game days.

History: An exchange student from Italy (though he speaks english very fluently).
upon entering Mitadake High, Raphael was considered an outcast because his interest were unlike other high school students. He decided to join the soccer team when he saw a sign up sheet on the school bulletin board. because of his fast footwork and speed, he quickly became one of Mitadake High's MVP's as a center for the varsity team during sophomore year (not many students can achieve this).
now in his senior year, he has gained some friends (and a few rivals), and a bit more respect from his fellow peers (excluding the bullies). he is looking forward to graduating so that he can get a higher education in college (and to put his past few years behind him).

Personality a bright student and a bit of a bookworm, but tends to be a rebel. he is always getting hassled by the teacher for disobeying the PROPER dress code by not wearing the class issued blue khakis and white collared shirt, He instead chooses to wear loose-fit cargo pants, and a white collarless T-shirt with blue trim (he still abides to the school colors but in his own way). in tight situations he can sometimes freak out, but from his experiences during the lockdown, he has decided to stop the cowardice, and start acting like a man. he is kind at heart and only want's to make peace in the group, but his hot temper always gets in the way.

Strengths: Being on the soccer team has made Raphael light on his feet, and extremely agile, making it almost impossible to catch by simply chasing after him (his record speed limit was 19.75 mph, and 7.5 seconds from one end of the field to the other). his leg strength, and accuracy are also benefits from soccer practice; he can send a ball flying at 22.1 mph; enough power to knock the wind out of whoever is the target (whether it's with a ball or just a direct hit from a kick).
He was also trained in CQC (Close Quarters Combat), so he specializes in self defense techniques.
Raphael has read a large number of books whenever he was in the library, some books that he read included mystery books, and some science books (directed mostly toward computer programming). this has allowed him to solve complex problems in real-life experiences, and also has shown him how he could hack into a PC. he would only use the latter of the two if he absolutely had to

Weaknesses: can sometimes panic in a desperate situation (this eventually goes away after some time during the lockdown). and is quick to anger, depending on what the conditions are, somewhat reducing his ability to think rationally (some of the students that he gets closer to manage to calm him down though).
he also never liked weapons, but his real weapon of choice is a soccer ball (whenever one is available). other than that he relies on his powerful kicks and defense skills.

Medical conditions: Raphael is an epileptic, and has petite-mal seizures; causing him to "stare into space" for a period of time. he takes medication for it, so these episodes are very brief and rarely happen (they only last for about half a second and are months apart).
he was also born with a bad ankle, so he needs to wear an ankle brace whenever he has to run for long periods of time (especially during soccer practice and games).

Other characteristics: he hated the disrespect that he received from bullies, and the constant lecturing about the disapproval of his attire from the teacher. sometimes during the school year he wished that they would just go away for good. but never wished death upon them.
he never really liked taking orders from anyone, but his leadership skills aren't very good (along the lines of getting people to listen to him). if Raphael wants to survive he'll have to cooperate with the other students, whether he wants to or not.

Name: Jareth McKenna*

species: Human
age: 17

Appearance: black hair, short. tall 6'1. black turtleneck. blue jeans.

History: Was mugged when he was a child, and has been paranoid to the extreme ever since, (i.e. as in school physciatrist has been baffled and professionals were sent in paranoid.)

Personality: He never had any friends as he was too paranoid that they were working for 'them'.
Strengths/positive attributes:
Paranoia, never trusts anybody, lokks around corners before he walks past them. stronger than normal as he lifted weights in case 'they' came after him.

weaknessess/negative attributes:
No friends. An occasional nervous twitch (head whips around at odd intervals.
medical conditions: none

Name: Spiro Tzounos*

Species: Human

Age: 18

Appearance: 6'2", 160lbs, neck length blonde hair, brown eyes, wears a plain white T-shirt and blue jeans.

History: Spiro was born in Greece before moving and enroling in Mitadake High. He only recently came to the school, about 3 weeks ago, and doesn't know many people. He can speak fractured English but mostly he speaks Greek.

Personality: Reserved, minds his own business, aggressive if provoked.

Strengths: keeps his cool, intelligent, can get extremely aggressive, strong, quick-witted, speedy, knows Karate and Brazilian Jujitsu

Weaknesses: Doesn't know much English, doesn't know many people, extremely reserved, generally acts weird (shunned by others as a result)

Medical Conditions: Allergic to Penicillin (as am I, though penicillin is only used in hospitals)

Other: Speaks mainly Greek (as I shall use when I post him speaking. There will be translations at the bottom provided by me), knows Karate and Brazilian Jujitsu


I've decided to apply to be the killer.
Nobody ever suspects the weird, reserved, can be aggressive, Greek kid.

name: Drisk Kayne* ((that's right, I might be killer :) ))

species: human

age: 18

appearance: Drisk is sort of tall, and thinly muscular. His hair is white with some small dots of green, and very disheveled. Drisk wears his school uniform, although it always seems to be wrinkled and sort of.... disheveled in the same way as his hair. There is almost always a sad look on his face, though it's not really known whether this is intentional or just how his face looks. His head is constantly pointing downward, which on occasion makes him bump into people, too late seeing their feet right ahead of him.

History: While growing up Drisk was constantly bullied by a gang who consisted entirely of non-humans. Also is a black belt in tai-kwon-do.

Personality: Usually friendly, if not exactly perky. Drisk is known to have fits of rage when normally someone would only get a little angry. Drisk always feels embarassed afterward, apologizing quietly. One area where his personality changes completely is around anyone who's not human. Having dealt with a roving gang of bullies for all of elementary and middle (junior high, if you prefer) school, non of whom were human, left Drisk for a deep distrust for them, and his bouts of rage are especially strong when directed at them. They are also the only exception to the post-rage apology. Finally, Drisk is a book nerd, and can almost never put down anything fantasy or sci-fi.

strengths: knows tai-kwon-do, can make rational decisions.

weaknessess: angers really easily, biased against non-humans.

medical conditions: hay fever, which makes him sneeze alot during Spring and Summer. ((I really have it, and sneeze at least two or three times in the course of an hour.))

other: hmm.... nothing for now.

Wow, I really hope Drisk Kayne approves my character. :lol:

Okay.... time to do some speed approving

Kilroy- approved

Raphael- approved

old guy- approved ((creepy character))

optix- approved

Drisk- hmm... I don't know man, you might want to change... ha, it's me, of course I'm approved.

wow... four choices for killer. And Kilroy, you can kill if you're not picked, but please have a reason, maybe you hate someone in the school and can use the killer as a cover story as to how they died. Just please don't go around killing random people, that's killer's job.

Also, a suggestion. WHoever's killer might want to wear something like a mask and coat or something over their regular clothes, so if someone escapes they won't know who tried to kill them.

Finally, I'm very surprised that I've got this many character applications, and it hasn't been up for a full day yet. :o

ah school kids killing each other, reminds me of my Rp Battle Royale. I may join this... I'll think about it for a bit, i don't want to be over stocked with RP's but it seems at least 2 of the ones I'm in are dying/dead anyway.

hey Drisk i think you should add that all kill attempts should BE attempts. it isn't fair that people get killed without them having a chance to become aware of what's gonna happen before it actually happens (this is a student we're talking about, not a professional assassin so he's bound to make some mistakes). some of the students do know how to defend themselves afterall.

and Kilroy's character would have to really hate that person to want to kill him (especially if he isn't the killer).

btw what part of his name would your character go by?

I agree with everything Raphael just posted. And umm.... do you mean what would my character go by? Drisk.

On a similar note, some of you might be worrying about me having a character, since I choose who the killer is and know a bit more about the school in general. I promise to not give my character any advatages over the others, and whoever I choose for killer, it will be random, I won't just automatically choose myself.

I have something to add to Raphael's post.

Of course you can fight back, but there shouldn't be any actual fighting. If you ask me, a long, drawn out fight just doesn't happen in the real world. If anything, all you could do is struggle your way out and run. The instant kill thing would only really work for the killer, and obviously, he couldn't do it all the time.

Just as whenever a character is attacked, they can't always escape. If Drisk forces the killer to give you a chance to flee, everyone would do it every time, and no one would ever die. While I would want a chance to escape, I know that my character probably wouldn't manage unless the killer just happens to be wimpier than he is.

Then again, if he was being strangled, a swift elbow the the stomach would be an easy way out.

The point is, you won't be able to escape all of the time, which means that the killer ALWAYS giving you a chance to escape is simply stupid.

That's just my two bits. If the killer does just make "attempts" I expect you people to be responsible enough to die sometimes instead of just escaping every time.

He could always do what I did in the Battle Royale and that is Drisk has complete control over whether an attempt (we called them actions didn't we :P) actually hits home or if the intended victum escapes it or not. He can then also give say to what wounds are inflicted and what not, so you don't end up with mr. "It's only a scratch!".

just a thought, I felt it's the fairest way of dealing with deaths in an RP. GM has final say and all that :P
