And I know that I can't control how other people run their storybooks, but in mine, this is how I want things to be. If this prevents you from joining, I won't stop you.

It's a shame you're choosing to limit romantic options like that. I had been excited to join, but I'm afraid a rule like that is not acceptable by my moral standards, whether romance exists or not. Enjoy yourselves nevertheless.

I'm afraid that I will have to withdraw as well

@reikann and @ChildOfWriting, I understand.

And if anyone else wishes to withdraw because of this, please feel free to do so.

When the number of characters get to 8, I will post up character profiles for 2 NPCs: Mira Golden (the Headmaster of the Academy) and Kal Argus (the Marshal of the Knights).

Hai there. I like this idea and I'm currently working on a character if you'll let me join ^^

@SpiritedWolfe, welcome! Looking forward to it.

Oooh. I'd like to join. I could have a profile up by tomorrow.

Hello there :3

I'd love to be in!

@megsug and @Desdemona, go for it! Just make sure you're okay with my rules, all right?

Now we have enough people!!!
So the participants (besides me) are @TheFantasy14, @Craz, @Auxiira, @SpiritedWolfe, @megsug, and @Desdemona.
We can begin the story as well as discuss plot details and NPCs as soon as everyone is ready to go. I will have the NPCs' CPs up as soon as all the characters are in.

Woo! I was a little afraid I was late xD

All of the charries are in, so we can talk about the plot and I'll have a starter post up soon. Check out the NPCs and feel free to give suggestions for the story!

@Lael, maybe there could be some trouble stirring up in the outlands? Tension between Necha, Kiva and Daria are starting to build, which brings the threat of a revolution. So Daria becomes anxious to get more new Knights in it's ranks. That could be another reason why Cayden's being blackmailed into attending the academy, and the reason that Argus doesn't seem to mind destroying Kiva if he refuses. And who knows, maybe some event in the SB could push the outlands over the edge, and the land could break out into all out war.

That could work really well! @TheFantasy14 The academy could also split up depending on the people's origins, with the Outlander members rebelling against the Darian authorities, and others separating into hostile groups according to their land of origin. Though I'd suggest incorporating this gradually and a bit further into the storybook, after a few rounds of school experience.

I feel like there'd also be a group who are kinda ambivalent about the whole thing as long as they have a place to live. For instance, Zee really doesn't care as long as he has a roof over his head.

I feel like something happening in the academy probably wouldn't necessarily have enough impact on the rest of the whole world to cause a rebellion in different countries, but maybe something happening in one of the outlands?

That's what I was thinking, actually. Maybe a few of the outland characters want to get out of the Academy for whatever reason, and the Knights go after them. An innocent civilian or two could get caught in the crossfire, and the Outlanders react.
