• Nothing like Highschool
    RPG - 50 - English - ©Tamatoa

    Roles      ☠      Talking      ☠      Drama





    High Schools - and teenagers in general - are known for their clichés, stereotypes and drama. Friends are made and lost, enemies lurk around every corner and teachers are the worst. Here at Borealis, it isn't any different. Or is it?

    ☠            ☠

    Eventhough the Hunter Community is really close, it's still a community. And some people tend to not fit in. Orphans, trouble makers and other unwanted children only have one place to go: Borealis. A school - a fucking community - in the middle of icecold nothing. These kids might be special, they might have abilities, they might have a perfect shot, but they're still kids. So prepare, for all the clichés, stereotypes and drama. Because Borealis is not that different at all ...


    Home. Hell. Same difference.

    It's my intention to only play the 'students', but if you want something else, just ask and I'll see what we can do.


    Fill in
    Your role can be really simple. It is allowed to keep it short and you do not have to use a layout. Ofcourse, if you want to; go knock yourself out.
    ❖ Name (any)
    ❖ Age (10 -20) You can play a kid, but do realise that it affects your character's relationships and interaction. Do realise that anyone older than 18 has to have a partner who's at least a year younger. It's possible, but also rare at this school.
    ❖ Nationality (any)
    (❖ Specialties) (not obligated)
    ❖ Looks A picture is enough, but you can always describe more.
    ❖ Personality Traits alone are enough for me, but I recommend a little bit of explanation so it's clear for the others.
    ❖ History It's enough to say why your character is staying at Borealis and for how long. So if you just say orphan, 3 years, that's enough. You can put more if you want to.
    ❖ Relationships (any)




    Start
    Yo. I've got some stuff to say, before I start this thing.

    It's some day in April and the students all get a short break, for about 5 days (including the weekend). It's the last day before that break and to celebrate it, the older students organize a party in an old bunker in the north. Students between the ages of 16 and 20 are allowed. It's a big party, because it's held once a year. It's nothing like a prom, it's more of a huge party with lots of booze and other stuff. Ofcourse, the school itself doesn't apporve it, but they have never been able to stop it and quite frankly, they stopped trying. For a lot of students, this is the first time they are able to go and since it's something they've been looking out to since they were little, it'll be an exciting night. Everyone is going.
    It's lunchtime now and they still have an afternoon of training ahead. The party starts at 9PM.

    If it's necessary, I'll type out the schedule of the day, so let me know if you need that.



    Borealis

    Location & Map
    Location

    ❖ Russian Siberia (East)
    ❖ Average temp: -10°C
    ❖ Isolated, but large city, around 25km south.
    The winter is very long (half september till the end of april) and very cold. Snow only falls in september and october , but stays the entire winter. Summer is short and hot during the day, cool/cold during the night.
    ❖ Because of the isolation, there are a lot of lone vampires and werewolves. If you don't get the logic - which is probably, bc this sounds weird - just ask me, bc I don't wanna explain right now.


    Location & Map
    The school owns a large area of woods, a lake, sportareas and the buildings. There's also a lot underground. It looks old on the outside, but it's actually quite modern. There's a small airport in the north.

    1) This is where all the paperwork occurs.
    2) This is where new students and travelers sign up. It's also where you have to go when you're 'sent to the principal'.
    3) This is where the students sleep and live when they're not doing anything else. Every student has a room and a small bathroom on their own. There are four floors. The first and second floor are for the children between the ages of 6 and 12. The third and fourth floor are for the students between the ages of 13 and 20. The girls sleep on the 1st and 3rd floor, while the boys sleep on the 2nd and 4th floor. Showers are mutual and there's 10 of them on every floor. In the livingspace you have a few large rooms with TV's, pooltables, whatever you can think of.
    4) This is where the teachers and other staffmembers live and sleep. It's similar to that of the students, except there are only two floors. The women sleep on the second floor, while the men sleep on the first. There's only one, large living room.
    5) This is where everybody eats. There's room for about 400 people, so it's never full and everybody can sit where they want. There's always bread and breakfast available. If you want to eat something warm, you'll have to be there between 11 AM and 9 PM (21).
    6) These are the bedrooms of the guests. There aren't many of them, but it suffices. They have seperate rooms with their own bathrooms. There's a small, mutual livingroom.

    7) This is where the smaller children have their 'normal' classes. It's comparable to elementary school.
    8) This is where the teenagers have their 'normal' classes. It's something in between middle and highschool.
    9) This building has two rooms: A music room (with all the instruments you can think off) and a large aula, suitable for around 600 people.
    10) This is the library. Students can study and read here. Besides the normal world books, there are also a lot of books about the Hunter world. Most of them are copies of the originals.
    11) This is where the students get their theoretical classes. Half of the building resembles more of a museum, though.
    12) This is where the sick and injured are treated. They are prepared for a lot, but when someone is hurt really bad, there's always a small airplane or helicopter available.
    13) This is where students can shop. From clothes and toothpaste to weapons, alcohol and sigarettes, you can find almost anything here. And if you can't, you're allowed to order it here as well.

    1) This is where the school keeps all the original books and all the records of every person who has walked through the gates.
    2) This is the research labaratory of the school. It's full of weird stuff and it's very modern, but it lacks WiFi.
    3) This is the weapon development labaratory of the school. It's full of weird stuff and it's very modern, but it lacks WiFi.
    4) This is a large shooting range. It's always kept in top condition.
    5) It resembles a gym, but it has a simulationprogram and all kinds of weaponry.
    6) This resembles a dojo. It's where the close combat classes take place. There are matts and mirrors.
    7) This is the place where you can train with all the non-shooting weapons.
    8) This is just a regular gym. You can play all kinds of sports here.

    Students
    ❖ This isn't a school for every regular hunter. In fact, only three kinds of children end up here:
    - The ones who don't have a Hunter family that is big enough to give them the proper training. They are usually sent by their parents or other family members.
    - Orphans. They are the ones who are discovered and usually don't know anything about Hunters until they arrive at the school.
    - The troublemakers and unwanted. These children are usually so awful their family sent them away to gain some discipline. Most children belong in this group.

    ❖ The school houses children between the age of 6 and 20. That means every child has had the test with the photograph and everyone stays - unless something really serious happened - until their graduation.
    ❖ These children do not excist for the normal world. They don't have valid papers, or those won't be used.
    ❖ At the moment, there are 186 students housed. There are 53 teachers and 16 other staffmembers.


    Vacation
    Although this is a hard environment and there isn't much space for mental issues and care, they are not entirely unreasonable. The children can leave the school.
    ❖ They spend the coldest period of the year (half december - half februari) in a different country. Usually somewhere in Europe or North-America. The school will be divided in groups of maximum 50 and be stationed at a Quarter. This is not a break and the lessons (usually exams) will continue.
    ❖ The schoolyear ends on the 16th of June. It starts again on the 23rd of July.
    ❖ They get to go on a vacation in juli. It's three weeks long and they can choose their own destination (one that's on the list (15)). After these three weeks, school starts again.
    ❖ They often get a few days of during the year.
    ❖ Last winter, they went to Dubhaile, Scotland.
    ❖ Although it's not allowed, there are often parties for the students aged 15 or older. They take place in some of the old, not used buildings further north on the terrain.


    Training
    ❖ 6 years old: The children are shown a picture of a vampire. If they cannot see them, they are hunters. This is the age they are allowed at the school.
    Start of theoretic lessons.
    ❖ 8 - 10 years old: The children get their partner - with a maximum age difference of two years, although they try to keep the difference as small as possible - and a small brand of a moon on their right wrist. They start as soon as the youngest of the two turns 8.
    Start of practical lessons.

    ❖ 11 - 13 years old: They get to go on their first hunt, but are not allowed to kill anything - unless it cannot be avoided. They are guided by at least one more experienced hunter couple, who do most of the job.
    Choice of specialisations.*
    Theoretic lessons stop.
    ❖ 14 - 16 years old: They get to go on their first, unguided hunt. This is - after graduation - the highlight of their study. This is the moment their first kill happens. After this day, they go on a hunt every two weeks. They get a larger, but simple tattoo. Whenever they reach a certain amount of kills, the tattoo gets more detailed. (1ste kill, 10de kill, 25ste kill, 50ste kill, 80ste kill 100ste kill, 145ste kill, 200ste kill. After this one, a new tatto will be started.)
    ❖ 18 - 20 years old: They graduate. There's a ceremony each year, but I'm too lazy to think off that. They get another brand of a sun on their left wrist. Afterwards, they get a week to pack their stuff and leave. They are not allowed to come back for at least 2 years. However, they are allowed to keep their contacts and see their friends, just not at school.
    ❖ Ofcourse, not every student arrives at the school at the age of 6. The ones who are older get an adapted cousre. It's usually more intense and a lot more difficult as they get the same amount of time. Students who arrive really late, usually never become true Hunters and will become Teachers or researchers.


    Lessons
    Normal

    They get a normal education, although it's a bit easier than usual. It's a lot of selfstudy and it's only the basic classes. The older you get, the more you have to do on your own.
    ❖ Math
    ❖ English
    ❖ Russian
    ❖ Science (Chemistry, Physics & Biology)
    ❖ (Human) History
    ❖ Geography


    *Specialisations

    Every student gets basic training lessons. These are the things the students want to train extra. Another basic lesson is survivaling.
    Theoretics
    ❖ History & Research of monsters (H&RM): You'll learn everything there is to know about monsters, which isn't that much. This is a course that is looked down upon and not many students take it. The History part is quite extensive, but there isn't much budget and interest for the research.
    ❖ Firearms; History (FH): This is a course that cannot be taken alone. Students who follow weapondevelopment have to take it, while it's an option for the students who follow the course Firearms; Practice.
    ❖ Handarms; History (HH): This is a course that cannot be taken alone. Students who follow weapondevelopment have to take it, while it's an option for the students who follow the course Handarms; Practice.
    ❖ History & Research of Hunters (H&RH): You'll learn everything there is to know about Hunters, which isn't that much. This is a course that is looked down upon and not many students take it. The History part is quite extensive, but there isn't much budget and interest for the research.
    Practice
    ❖ Kill & Conquer; Vampires (KCV): This is the course where you'll learn every detail about killing vampires.
    ❖ Kill & Conquer; Werewolves (KCW): This is the course where you'll learn every detail about killing werewolves.
    ❖ Firearms; Practice (FP): You'll learn about guns and everything that shoots. You also learn how to use most of them, and choose a few to specialise in.
    ❖ Handarms; Practice (HP): You'll learn about knives, swords and every weapon that doesn't require munition. You also learn how to use most of them, and choose a few to specialise in.
    ❖ Close Combat (CC): Here you'll learn how to fight when you don't have a weapon.
    Both
    ❖ Weapon Development (WD): Here you'll learn how to change, improve or invent weapons of all kinds and other aids for hunting. Students who take this course also have to follow the History of both kinds of weapons.
    ❖ Medicine: This is where you'll learn advanced first aid and everything else you need to know about healing and stuff. The students can choose how many years they'll take this course and when to start, as it's based at level and not at age.
    ❖ Foreign Cooperation (FC): This is already very specific. The students who take this course will be Travelers, which are some kind of ambassadors/negotiators. This course includes at least 2 more languages (choosing from Arabic, Portuguese, Chinese, Spanish & French), communication and culture & customs. They also take two more short trips to other countries, in octobre and march.


    Exams

    ❖ They have regular tests
    ❖ There are midterm exams in january and final exams in the last and first two weeks of june.


    Money
    ❖ To keep it easy, we'll just use the euro. I don't have a clue what the normal prices are in Russia (1 euro = almost 60 ruble, but idk how much a bottle of water costs, ya know.)
    ❖ Every student gets some pocket money. When they're younger than 12, they get 20 the month. When they're older, they get 40.
    ❖ Kids who still have a family, often get more money sent to them.
    ❖ The students can earn some money when they do chores.


    Sports
    ❖ There are only teams when the interest is big enough. They play a lot of sports during training, but outside of that it depends. I'll go further on with this if people are interested.

                                                                                                                                       

    Relationshit.





    Hunters

    ❖ At least one of the parents has to be a Hunter as well. That's the only requirement.
    ❖ Hunters cannot turn into a monster.
    ❖ Hunters can recognize monsters, they're more fit physically and they are more resistant to pain and illness.
    ❖ At the proper age, they have to take a test. The results of this test determine the partner. Hunters almost never hunt without their partner and they learn to train together. They can, however, take different courses. Every combination (male x male, male x female, female x female, ...) is possible and there are no restrictions on the relationship between them.
    ❖ There are a few rules every hunter has to keep:
          - Humans have to be kept out at all costs. This means physically, but also by knowledge.
          - Werewolves may not be harmed when they are in human form, unless it's self-defence.
          - One bullet is better than two.
          - Never make a vampire go into a Tantrum on purpose
          - Never hurt a non-feeding member of the Colonies.


    Monsters

    If you've got the time and motivation; you can read everything about vampires and werewolves here. If you don't; just keep this shit in mind:
    Vampires
    ❖ Hunters recognize them because they do not have a reflection or show on images and film. This is uniquely for Hunters.
    ❖ They can die when you cut of their head, damage their heart enough or put them on fire.
    ❖ Their biggest weakness is sunlight for young vampires, and elektricity for them all. And fire, but that's kind of everybody's weakness.
    Werewolves
    ❖ Hunters recognize them because their irises are completely black (not their entire eyes, just the colourpart). Only Hunters can see this.
    ❖ They can die whenever you hurt them enough.
    ❖ Only changed werewolves are a target. It's forbidden to kill a werewolf in humanform, unless it's self-defense.
    ❖ Their biggest weakness is silver.


    Rules

    Huisregels
    ❖ Only Tamatoa is allowed to open new topics, unles I ask differently
    Whenever there is an issue, send me and/or the person involved a pb or gb. Don't put it in the topic. This is not to silence anything, but I've seen (and have been on both sides, I'll admit that) it happen when someone points something out, a lot of people react to it. There is nothing wrong with that, but it can feel like an attack and I want to avoid that. Long story short; I'm sick of the drama, whether watching it, or being part of it. This does not apply to questions. (Don't spam me)
    ❖ Maximum three characters, with at least two different sexes
    ❖ OOC clearly indicated or do it in the Talktopic
    ❖ Mentioned in your post: Who, where and with whom. A special lay-out is not obligated.
    ❖ Your post only has to be at least 50 words. That's almost nothing, so I hope there will be more posts, as they are less time consuming.
    ❖ Posts and roles have to be in English. Everything else doesn't really matter. You can choose
    ❖ If you need more information about RPG'ing, go check this out

    REED KEENAN JONES

    Canadian — 18 — at the party in the crowd —Réka

    ’Well, aren’t you charming?’
          Reed still received it as a compliment even though the sarcasm in her voice was noticeable. He was almost certain of the fact that she didn’t mind and maybe even slightly enjoyed the greeting – but it was Réka.
          That is why he decided to shrug and show a bit of nonchalance, which is normally not his style. However, it could also be seen as some kind of confidence. Something that actually suited him.
          ’I hear that more often.’ He simply reacted. Reed knew he was born with charisma and if he didn’t, his family would have ensured him of that. It was the first thing they used to start about when they saw him and it didn’t change over the years. Especially his mom’s sister couldn’t stop about predicting his future success with the girls, something he wasn’t even thinking about at that age. Nevertheless, Reed couldn’t refute her predictions, thinking about some of his current female friends – for as far they could be called ‘friends’.
          Although he could not completely admit it himself, he knew that Réka was one of the few real female friends he had here. He labelled the rest of the girls as friends, but these relationships were mostly based on sexual tension and flirting. With her it was different as she did not give in – obviously, Reed had given it a shot at the beginning, that is just how he is.
          ’And since you asked me what you could get me, you can get me a dance later.’
          Her cheeky smile was contagious and it did not take long for him to put one on as well. ‘Fair enough,’ it almost sounded like he would give in to her previous saying, but it would not be Reed if nothing would have followed. ‘But, as you did not answer my question yet, I take the right to spin you one more time.’
          He devoted her a genuine smile after which he took her hand again. However, Reed waited with the spin. Did he wait on some kind of consent? Sometimes, he subconsciously treated Elin differently than other girls in a positive way as he did with Réka. He knew that they would not give in to his stubbornness and demanding personality – these situations annoyed him to the fullest, he must say. However, he only waited a couple of seconds, before he made her spin again.
          ’The rest,’ Reed paused for a split second, ‘will come later.’

    'I don't want to leave her just because she makes me a better person.'

                      Valentino Valescu                  
    19 ➵ Drinking & keeping an eye out ➵ Bar ➵ Elin


    PSYCHOPATH
    Serial charmer. Cunning manipulator. Pathological liar



    The moment Elin pressed her lips against his skin, he instantly felt better. He didn't care about the love, but he definitely appreciated the physiscal contact - in any form actually. In some way, he was addicted to feel loved by others - although there were exceptions, like his dearest sister - eventhough he'd never experienced the other way around. Also, this was a clear way to say Elin was still his. He just doubted he was the only one.
          "I'm kissing him right now, as far as I know," she said, before giving him another kiss and taking a sip from her drink.
          "Mhm, really?" Val answered, although it sound more like he said it to himself. He let go of her, tapped his fingers on the bar and ordered a beer.
          "As my boyfriend, you should give me my own personal butler." She grinned at him. "Or you could be my butler." She slapped him on the butt and he cocked his eyebrow. The smile on his face had never left, but he did feel annoyed. He grabbed his beer, took a big sip and pointed at her glass. He was absolutely certain it was the liquor Leif got her.
          "I think you already have one," he said. Now you could hear the displeasure in his voice.
          ""Where have you been, by the way? Almost thought you weren't coming back." She looked him in the eye, in a way he could not resist and suddenly his dick felt like he'd been away a lot longer than three days.* He sighed and gave her a peck, planning on doing a lot more than that after he'd explained himself. If only he got so far.
          "I ..."
          "Hey, babe," someone said, as he got inbetween him and Elin and - for fuck's sake? - gave her a kiss. It was on her cheek, but still, Val felt like punching the guy straight into the infirmary. He would've done it, if they hadn't been surrouned by people. No, he still would've done it - because he was actually tired of the hunt and the explaining how he ended up alone with the vampire the entire afternoon, and because he simply was in a bad mood - if the guy didn't put his hand on his shoulder. It was Reed and Val cooled off, if only a little.
          "I still love you," were the words he spoke to Vale with a pleasing and playful smile. ‘"That is why I will leave you two lovebirds alone. Oh, and poppy," he said to Elin, "don’t forget to get a cocktail at my bar. I am sure you would prefer them above that one."
          "Idiot," Val muttered. He didn't smile anymore and emptied his glass in a couple of swigs. He then turned back to Elin.
          "Like I was saying; I was on a hunt. I returned today around lunchtime, and spent the entire afternoon ..." He hesitated. To belch, but also because he had the feeling telling someone what really happened, wouldn't be the best idea. "Dealing with something."

    *I am sorry not sorry for the blunt reactions, but this simply fits his character.



    Mhm?

    ELIN NYSTROM

          Elin rolled her eyes at Val's butler comment. If you could die of jealousy, it'd probably happen to him. It was kind of cute but also annoying. She didn't always deal well with clingy people. It was not as if she would change her habits for him. He'd have to deal with it. Before he could answer on her other question, Reed interrupted them by greeting her and kissing her on the cheek. Elin didn't really pay much attention to it. They usually greeted each other like that. Hell, she sometimes even still slept in his bed. Like she said, she wouldn't just change her habits. Sleeping was more fun with someone next to you and knowing Val he would get all touchy. She knew his reputation and wasn't about to just give in to him.
          "This cocktail is just fine." She stuck out her tongue to Reed. "If you want to proof yours is better than you bring me one." She watched as he walked away and then turned her attention back to Val. "To deal with something. How vague can you be." She sighed and finished her drink. "You could've texted me, you know, if you decide to disappear for three days." Elin pouted and pulled Val in between her legs. "Now I had to miss you for three days." Okay she hadn't really missed him that much but okay. She gave him an intense stare. "You missed a lot of fun," she continued as she teasingly played with the hem of his shirt.

    Dana Helen Warden
    19 – Norway – talking to Lyra

    When life sucks, just dance; and since life always sucks, always dance.



    It was party time, Dana thought as she put the finishing touch on her make up. She looked quite pretty she thought. Her hair was in an elegant bun, her feet were put in some killer heels, she adored her black dress and her make up was as perfect as she could get it. Of course, it was a lot of effort for just a party, even though it was the biggest party of the year. Most people would be too drunk to notice anyway – and if they noticed with their drunken heads, she wouldn’t be very glad with it. But she didn’t do all this just fors ome attention. She did it because she wanted to feel beautiful tonight, and that definitely was okay.
    She was quite late as the party had started an hour ago, but at the same time, ten o’clock was nothing if you were really going to party, so it wouldn’t matter.
    How could she be thirsty before it had even started? She had no idea, but she was, so she went to the bar for a drink. Just a cola. The night was young. There was plenty of time to drink something with a little more alcohol. Before getting completely wasted, she wanted to find someone familiar, but as she looked around, she didn’t see any friends.
    Before she could really searched, some guy – who was already pretty drunken – walked into her. As a hunter and a dancer her balanca was quite well, but she hadn’t expected it, so she had to step backwards to keep her balance – missing Lyra toes by some centimeters and planting an elbow in the other’s girl ribs.
    “I’m so sorry!” she exclaimed. “I didn’t mean to! I like your clothes by the way.” She was a bit distracted by Lyra’s clothes, but realized soon that wasn’t an important point at the moment. “Really, I’m sorry.”
