OOC: So tell me what you think. I hope that it'll become a success, and I hope that people will actually join. Plus this is a little somthing to tide over those waiting on the x-men rp
You know Barvolde Academy would be the top academy in the nation if weren't for one little club that they're helpless to shut down due to irreversible school stipulations. Why is this little school club so bad? Well, just take a look at this poster...
The Academy lies within the town of Barvolde, an almost moderately populated school. The town itself is more like a village, nestled snugly into the heavily forested New England countryside. The town is practically filled to the brim with secrets and mysteries. Most, if not all of the citizens of the town are friendly, and caring on an almost impossible level. They'd be willing to give the clothes off of their back to keep you warm, if you were ever just feeling a bit chilly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Do you have any special or "freaky" powers? Are you "different" from everybody else on a plane that we can't imagine? Do you know or are related who is? Or do just come in contact with a lot of weird stuff on a more than usual basis?
Then come on down to room 131 and join the paranormal club after school Monday through Friday!
Our club does more than encourage you to be yourself! We cover and explore nearly, from the metaphysical to the extraterrestrial! Got a Lycanthropy problem? We can help! Just join us in room 111 in the west hall from 2:40 to 4:40*
disclaimer- club sessions are subject to change due to both outside and inside forces ie: vampire bites, werewolf attacks, rapid shrinking of the school, alien or demon invasions, government kidnapping attempts, or epidemics of the magical and biological variety."

"So how does everybody feel about the recruitment poster? It made it myself... Ehhh, nevermind, let's just get to roll call."
"Now when I call you name, just say HERE okay?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...Those of you that are new to the academy should know that Barvolde academy is a unisex boarding school. You should also know that this school isn't just for you high school kids either. It's a college, a middle school and an elementary school. You should also know that the grade levels are divided up into four halls, each with strict rule enforcement's in the dormitories.
North Hall - For college level students. The no drugs and alcohol policy is strictly enforced here. Most other rules though are pretty lax here.
South Hall - For middle school students. The light's out policy is strictly enforced here along with the no fighting policy. There's an occasional strange incident here, as some children begin manifesting special powers around the time of their puberty.
East Hall l- For elementary school students. Enforcement's are as strict here as they are in the south hall.
West Hall l- For high school students. The no drugs and alcohol policy is enforced even stricter than it is for college students. Rooms are subject to random checks, so be careful. It is said that bad spirits have a habit of manifesting here as a result of all the teenage angst and anxiety.
Dress code- The dress code is to be enforced at all times during the school week. Males are to wear a black blazer (With the schools insignia sewn right where the heart should be), a white dress shirt (with the optional tie), and black slacks.
Females are to wear a black sweater (with the school's insignia sewn over the chest where the heart should be), white dress shirt, black skirt, and black stockings.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are a few things that you should know about the school. The first thing is that the academy in a cross-shaped manner. Interestingly enough, it was built and carved out of stone in the "ye olde english" style in mind. The thing about that though is that it was built by first generation american colonists... at a size way too large for the entire population, colonist local native or otherwise.
People here are a way too friendly, but etremely vague when it comes to the details of the town and the town's history. A middle-aged man who's lived town all of his life might "forget", interrupt you, ignore you, change the subject, blow you off, or let the entire convseration blow by the wayside at the slightest interruption, intrusion or distraction. Most students would normally be suspicious, a wide majority are too lazy to care. Some of the older students are beginning to act like the ordinary citizens of the town...
Like with the rest or American society, most are ignorant of the paranormal, and dismiss it as parlor tricks, looniness, hoaxes, or crackpot conspiracy theorism. The "ordinary" citizens of Barvolde dismiss anything and everything paranormal as hogwash or craziness. Thus, an interest in the paranormal or joining and participating the paranormal (openly) goes hand in hand with social ostracism (unless you're like Jeffrey Wright, who's still the target of rumors). There's a social stigma attached to the unexplaininable in this town. Most members of the paranormal club, and even the club's president will deny any involvement in the club. Rumors can spread like wildfire here so you've got to be careful.

Oh, while I'm at it, I've got to establish the rules.
No spamming
No god modding
No player killing
No short posts
No meta gaming
No flaming
Sentences have to have proper grammar and appropriate sentence structure (that means that I don't want any of the *troy walks into the room and looks at every body all angry. Troy blasts the with his super energy because cops are bad* or else it'll be bye-bye time. I am NOT asking every body to perfect, all I ask is that people make understandable posts and try for the of god to improve your role-playing skills.)
Romance is at the standard PG-13 level
Have lots and lots of fun
Here's the Bio template. Keep in mind as well that you have to write the word "Here" at the top
Name: (nicknames and aliases can also go here as well)
Age:
Gender:
Grade:
Appearance: (Be descriptive as you can folks. I want to know what your characters look like, and not just what they're wearing!)
Powers (if any): (for this subject, you don't even have to have powers. A simple series of paranormal experiences will do just as fine. Also keep in mind, that I do NOT want any super mega powered characters with every single power. I also don't want characters with super cliched powers or abilities. You know what i'm talking about here. Original characters with original powers and abilities are what make a good role play, and role player. Keep it simple.
Hobbies: (you know, it's what you like to do with your spare time)
Club position: (keep in mind that regardless of your position in the club, everyone is expected to complete assignments and mission determined by their skills)
History: (please, for the love of god, refrain from the "my parents were killed, so I was oprhaned and sent here for care" line. That's gotten mighty old, mighty fast. This is our time period, so if you're going to do that, come up with a reason that makes some sense.)
Well, I think that that about covers it, have fun everybody!!!
