Secrets of a School

WhiteTiger93 · 2010-04-06T00:29:03Z

Your parents sent you to a new school and you have no idea why. This new school is every kind of weird and creepy. And the students of your year are just as weirded out as you are by the odd ways of the teachers, rules and ways of the school. And the really weird part is you're completely separated from all the students that aren't of your year. It's rare that you see a student out of your grade. There are few students that make it past the first year, or so you hear. It gets harder and harder to graduate. The few students you meet have an odd look and barely register any of the new students but you can tell that they almost pity you as a new student. They have a look about them that you can tell that they've seen things other people haven't. They're just as weird and different as the school. The principal is a happy, odd guy himself, but you can't help but like him. He is a pretty awesome from the few times you've met him. But he is weird. So weird. But the kids who graduated to the next year seem pretty close to him. Like they admire him. What you realize is that weird things start happening to you. At first you think it's just the school, but it gets worse every time something odd happens. And then students start to vanish. You start to realize what's going on at this school. You're going through tests, challenges that really see how strong you are. Only the strongest will make it through. And what's even weirder...you realize that you have powers, certain abilities, that scare you. The school is bringing out your powers to see how strong you are and to see if you can control your powers enough to survive the year. Because as the year goes on, and more students vanish, you begin to wonder what's happened to the students who can't make it. And what's going to happen to you if you don't make it? But one thing is for sure. If you graduate from this school, you will be a powerful spellcaster. You will always be feared and respected. But after all the tasks, will you be the same person you were when you entered the school? Rules Normal YWS rules. -No God modding please -You can have your characters cuss, but *please* only if the situation calls for it. Don't have them cuss if not necessary. -Romance allowed, but no graphic scenes. -2 characters allowed per person (though you can have one if you want), no more What are the powers the kids have? Basically if you have a strong power, it's like Harry Potter magic. But, please, this isn't a HP storybook. Try to be orginal with what happens. No, the students don't use wands. They control the magic with their minds/hands. For instance, they could create a force feild to protect them. However they're going to need more than magic to get them through the year. Even if you don't have strong powers you can get through the year. You can either have an very quick, intelligent mind with powers that aren't exactly top of the line or a mind that's not as quick to get you out of a tough spot, but very strong powers. However, do NOT make your character strong at both because you will not be able to join. Your character can't be perfect. What are the challenges and test? Some of the tests require you to work in groups, some on your own. They will get tougher as they go on. HOWEVER, I don't want this to be students constantly going through challenges all the time. If one student goes through one, don't assume you do too. The story is about it them going through these challenges to see if they are strong enough to survive it all, but it needs to have a balance. :) Be creative with your challenges and feel free to incorporate a fantasy angle in this as well. For instance, you can have a griffin attack your character as one of the challenges. Character Palette **You can be a new student (which I want most to be) or an older student** Name: Age(15-18): Gender: Appearance: Personality: Power strength: Other: **It's not elaborate because I love to see a character grow and change throughout a story. (: I don't want to know all about them yet.** I hope that you have fun with this! And keep in mind, not all characters have to be good. They can be corrupted by these challenges facing them. Just a thought. Please join! :)

*I thought that maybe we wouldn't hear, and someone would tell us in the middle of the game. Because I wanted to play freakin magical soccer. =)

Don't worry Scar, we'll make it work both ways!
Everyone will start playing 'freakin magical soccer' (as DayDream called it) and half way through the game, they'll hear Ingrid scream. Simple solution to the problem. :wink:

I can't post right now, it's half past twelve a:m and I really need to sleep!

I didn't know what to put here so I put this.

Sorry for my american slang.. as it were. Time is much different in Wales. It is only 9:30pm here on the east coast.

Sounds good with the screaming though.

Random comment: Yay for East coast time!!

I'm kind of lost. xD And plus I'm at school (the only time I can really get on being that I'm grounded) but could we carry this over to the DT so it doesn't clutter the storybook too much?

Hermione, shut your ungodly, lopsided mouth and quit interrupting! 20 points from Gryffindor. You know, for the brightest witch of your age you can sure be a dumba** sometimes. *smiles* 10 points to Dumbledore!
