In a newspaper, on a poster, anywhere, your character will have seen this.
SCHOOL-CHILDREN!
of exceptionally high intelligence

An Annual Quiz
is being held at [insert local building here] on [insert date here].
To select children eligible for
Bradford Grammar School.

The characters assume the roles of those who have taken this quiz.
The quiz itself is full of general knowledge questions, and the last question is unintelligible symbols with a number of boxes below.
However whatever the characters do they will be elected to join this school, with all travel costs paid. However, as it will emerge, not is all as it seems...

Plot.
As you can tell I have one plot twist lined up, however you can do practically anything you want. The characters can be anyone, any ethnicity, from anywhere as long as they had opportunity to do this quiz, and are school age.
First Posts.
Will be leading up to the point of being taken, by helicopter unless the character is English (in which case it is by limousine, as the school is in England) to Bradford Grammar School. For the sake of this, Bradford grammar is a large stately house, with about 30 pupils,all from this quiz.
Rules.
-Realistic well developed characters; I will turn them down if they are not detailed enough (any format of character sheet.)
-No sex, although romance is allowed, by mutual arrangement.
-Keep down the swearing.
-YOU MUST BE ABLE TO POST AT LEAST WEEKLY! If you don't post in two weeks I will replace you unless there is a realistic excuse!

What's school age, like what age through another age?
Used to be: IAlreadyDied
But that doesn't mean I'm still the same person.

@SecreteJournalist @IAlreadyDied if you really want an age limit say 5-18, unless they have been held back.

@AlexSushiDog there isn't one. All I ask for is a well rounded character.
