Also, please keep in mind that you are more than welcome to quit at any time, but please tell your proctor before you do so. If your proctor becomes inactive, please PM bryght. letting her know so.

Goals for this Level;
•Character depth and insight
•Grammar and Spelling
•Fluidity

Creating Your Character;
As was previously mentioned, one of the aims of this level is to teach you to consider every aspect of your character, thus creating a well-developed character who has some sustenance to him or her. To begin with this, we at the RP School have created a basic outline that you may expand on (but not subtract from).

Upon Acceptance
When your character is reviewed by your proctor and deemed worthy, you may proceed to roleplay. Please keep in mind that we are training you for role play sites as well as those rp threads here on CS, so we will be doing this in a turn-based fashion. Do not step out of turn.

Turns
Nimblestep > Lillyfur > Aspenbeak > Myself; (I Promise)

Once the proctor has posted, you may start from the beginning.
A proctor may post before their turn, only if post they are replying to requires immediate attention. (A student has powerplayed or godmodded)

Remember;
• When your proctor posts, it will be in this colour. Please keep your posts in black.
• When you are talking out of character (which shouldn’t happen often), always write in between double parenthesis.
• Use quotation marks! Also, you may wish to bold everything in quotation marks, as this makes it easier to distinguish talking from everything else.

Roleplay;
Okay! You have all chosen to do a Human Teenage Highschool, and that is what we will be focusing on. To start you on your roleplay adventure, the proctor has written up a short prompt. Please continue with it, keeping in mind everything that is included in it.

Prompt;

As you stand in front of the double glass doors, your eyes are met with the vision of a spanking new building, tall and wide with a fresh cover of white paint. Huge glass windows cover the walls, giving the complex a modern, sophisticated air. Students walk about, chatting to each other, in huddles, or alone, across the neatly mowed lawns or small stony pavements that adorn and wind themselves around the campus. The air is heavy with the scent of morning dew, and recently cut grass, along with the stink coming from the cafeteria that speaks of fried goods for lunch.

And then there's you. You stand alone in front of the doors, with a schedule in your hand that reads the classes you have chosen to study in the following year. A brass sign above the doors reads Elderberry Boarding School, and, suddenly, a shrill ringing fills your ears that reminds you that you should get going to your first class. Taking a deep breath, closing your eyes for a second, you push the double doors and step into the dimly-lit corridor to direct yourself - somehow - to the classroom listed on the piece of scrunched up paper in your sweaty hands.

Plot

Basically, this is a normal, teenage human school rp. You have to attend classes and try to get through the tons of homework set, socialize and get good grades at the same time while staying away from your parents in your boarding school.

For your convenience, all character bios will be reposted here;

Go ahead and post forms :3 BUMP

[Nimble Awesomeness]

Name:
Emiline Abigail Grace Shouster, pronounced sh-ow-ster. Said with an "ow", not "show". She just goes by Emiline, however her mother calls her Em, or Abigail Grace when she's in trouble.

Gender:
Female.

Age:
Sixteen years old.

Ethnicity:
Caucasian white.

Hair colour:
Light brown, a bit like Hershey's milk chocolate.

Eye color:
Hazel, but more on the green side. Emiline's always loved her eyes, and thinks them her best feature. She has thick eye-lashes, and bats her eyes when she's embarrassed.

Skin color:
Pale white, with freckles across her nose. Many people take her for Irish. She burns easily, and is always careful to wear lots of sunscreen.

Special Markings (tattoos, scars, etc):
Her ear-lobes are pierced, and she always has little emerald green studs in them.

Height:
A average height for a girl her age, about 5'5. A nice, round, even number.

Clothing style:
Mostly nice jeans and a button up shirt, with a tasteful necklace that match her earrings. She prefers plain clothes, and nothing that draws attention to her chest. (Though she does have the button up shirts open a few buttons at the top, near the collar.)

Hairstyle:
It falls in mild curls around her shoulders, it comes off as just wavy though. She keeps it down, hanging around her neck, with two strands from the front pinned together in the back to keep it out of her face while she's reading.

Frame:
A normal sized build, but her shoulders are just a tad more broad than she would like. She has a slightly narrow face, but her hair frames it well. Boys would pay more attention to her, if her nose wasn't stuck in a book all the time.

History:
Emiline was born into a good family. Her father, James Shouster, was serving in the army when she was born. He was a soldier, but a highly ranked one. He got a decent amount of money from that job, and they were moderately rich due to the additional money of her mother being a interior designer. Her mothers name was Leslie. She rather hated her name, but put up with it all these years. They lived in a big, white-washed, colonial styled house, with a big, auburn double-door. Emiline was always very interested in reading, and she wasn't very social. When she was 8, her and her mother got an official looking letter that informed them in a painfully formal way that her father's base had been bombed in Iraq, with only a few survivors. This left a big impact on her mother, who sunk into a horrible depression for multiple months. It was on and off with Leslie doing everything she could to stop her depression, and when Emiline was 11 the pills and therapy started to work, and she's been better ever since. Luckily, Emiline only needed a few sessions, and misses her father in the worst of times. She's always very accepting of things, and though she had many nights of sobbing over the loss of her father it was just another thing she learned to accept.

When time came for her to go to middle school, she was rather excited to dive into her studies. She was often teased, but she didn't mind. Even though it was rather bad bullying, all verbal. The girls were jealous of her looks, and the boys made fun of her being a "nerd". Emiline shoved it off, having read about adolescents being immature and jealous. They would grow out of it, right? Nope. Right into high-school. It wasn't as bad with the boys, but with the growing size of her breasts the popular girls verbal abuse got even worse. They too made fun of her nose always being stuck in a book, sitting alone at a lunch table, never having a boyfriend. This was when she went to public school, but now with the transfer to the private boarding school she had higher hopes. Who knows, maybe there will be more bullying.

Personality:
Not really shy, but she prefers to be by herself or with her mother. As said earlier, she loves to read, and always has an extremely high grade. When time comes for group projects, she's the one doing most of the work and is fine with that, as the people she gets stuck with are often the class clowns or jocks who don't know what they're doing. She wouldn't mind having more friends, but isn't particularly keen on searching them out.

Likes:
Emiline loves the book 'The Great Gatsby', The 'Harry Potter' series, 'Where the Red Fern Grows' and 'The Odyssey', by Homer. When the TV show 'Lost' was on air, she watched that obsessively, along with 'How i Met Your Mother'. She still watches it when it shows, and her favorite character is Lily. Her favorite food is Alfredo pasta, and carrots with ranch dressing to dip it in. Her favorite drink is Dr. Pepper. Also, she's a huge fan of 'Dr. Who' and the show 'Sherlock'.

Dislikes:
Shrimp, lasagna and she hates spicy food. Any kind of coke or pepsi is a no-no. She hates all kinds of toothpaste except Tom's of Maine (That should be the name..) so she only ever uses that. She loathes Twilight with a passion, and has read only the first two books and seen the first movie. Emiline has always hated bullies, and whenever she sees some going on she doesn't hesitate to report it to the principle or a near-by teacher. She knows not to intervene physically because she wouldn't last two minutes in a fight.

Strengths:
Reading, writing, academics in general. She's not half bad at ballet; she took a few years of classes when she was younger. She still goes and takes a class every now and then, just to keep her skills honed.

Weaknesses:
Having lots of friends, Godiva chocolate. Yes, chocolate. You could get her to do almost anything with some Godiva, or Toblarone. Her mom didn't allow much chocolate in the household, so whenever she could get a hold of it she paid with blood and sweat. It was worth it. Also, Nutella. She LOVED Nutella spread, but it was also banned from the house.

Greatest Fear:
Getting rejected from her dream college, Yale or Harvard. Getting drunk and doing something really stupid. Getting pregnant before she's ready. The thought of being together intimately with a boy. She couldn't stand this, and it made her very uncomfortable. Only one time had a boy wanted to be with her that way, and it hadn't gone well. She had been waiting, dreading the day when another boy tried to "make a move". Her reaction would be interesting, to say the least.

Greatest Desire:
Getting accepted to Harvard or Yale. Having a boyfriend.

Goals in life:
Have a boyfriend, get into Harvard or Yale, graduate with a degree in science and an undergraduate with a degree in Chemistry, get a good job, get married, maybe have kids.

What Does He/She Regret:
Letting that boy get close to her. Not being popular.

What is He/She Proud of:
Academic life, her mother for recovering so well from her fathers death. Her father, for being a war hero and someone she can look up to.

Family life:
She lives alone with her mother, with the money her father left them.

Other:
None.

[Nimble Awesomeness]

Bump! My form is finished, by the way.

[Nimble Awesomeness]

Bump? :c

[Lillyfur]

Name:
Izabella Namora Verison
((Is-uh-bell-uh Nuh-morn-uh V-air-i-son))
Her friends and family call her Izzy, and she prefers that.
Gender:
Female
Age:
15 Years, 5 months
((Her birthday is November 12))
Ethnicity:
She's Irish, and has a very light accent.

Hair colour:
She has bright red hair, which turns slightly brown in the winter. She has natural highlights of a very light, almost strawberry blonde color.
Eye colour:
Her eyes are a aqua blue, and catch the attention of people.
((When she's you know, actually looking up))
Skin colour:
Her skin is very pale white, and she's covered in freckles a slightly darker shade than her skin. A dimple appears on her right cheek when she smiles, and a slight dimple on her left side.
Special Markings (tattoos, scars, etc):
She has a swirl design tattoo on her back, over her shoulder blades on the tip on her neck.
((Like this one- http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/b/ba/barrym67/1 ... igns_2.jpg ))
She always wears a specific necklace, also. It's...really hard to explain, so I'll post a picture in awhile.
Height:
She's fairly tall at 6ft 2in
Clothing style:
She normally wears fairly plain clothes. Dark colored jeans that flare out slightly at the bottom, and a colored t-shirt with a simple design. She accents those with a few pieces of jewelry, like earrings and a necklace. She basically only wears flats and flip-flops. Brown flats, black flats, white flip-flops, brown flip-flops, and black flip-flops.
Hairstyle:
She has smooth, shiny hair that falls slightly past her waist. It's layered, so that it slopes from shoulder length at the top to past her waist at the very bottom. She has bangs that are chin length, and she keeps them swept to the left of her face, partly covering her left eye.
Frame:
She's tall and thin, with a light build, and gives the impression of being very graceful. This is very far from true. She has a heart shaped face, and a small button nose.

History:
She was born in small Irish town, and knew everyone there. She had many friends, and loved her life. When she turned 13, her parents decided to move to ((Which country is this set in? XD)). Izzy was distraught. She had never left her town, and would have to leave everyone she'd ever know behind. When they settled into her new home, she had to go to a public school for the first time in her life. She was picked on, teased, and bullied all through 7th and 8th grade. When it was time for her to start high school, her parents decided that she should go to a boarding school. She hoped that it would be better than her old school, but she was upset about leaving her parents behind, and having no one around her that she knew.

Personality:
Izzy has a few different personalities, depending on what situation she's in.
At school- At school she's the shy quiet girl, who gets good grades and never causes trouble. She hardly talks at all, and keeps to herself. When she does talk, it often comes out in a jumble of words that are hard to understand. Her accent also gets worse, making words hard to understand. She reads in her spare time, and spends a lot of the day in the library. She helps out teaches when she can, and tries to be unnoticeable.
At home/with her friends- She's almost the complete opposite of her school self. She can be somewhat loud, and at times obnoxious. She is crazy, and loves to just mess around. She loves to listen to loud music, and sing along with it. She learns to play popular songs on the violin, and you can constantly hear squeaky note coming from her room. She likes to draw, and will spend hours just sketching random things that come to her mind. She spends most of the night reading or texting/talking to her friends via phone or internet.

Likes:
Playing the violin/figuring out songs on it, reading fantasy books, drawing, listening to music, taking pictures, and talking to her friends. She also likes (obsessed with XD) cats. She also loves frozen mangos, and ice cream is always on hand. She also likes to write stories, and has about a million different ones going on at a time. She also likes to work with animals.
Dislikes:
SPIDERS. She can't stand them, and will involuntarily scream whenever she sees one (not in pictures or such though). She also hates the cold, and will always dress warmly in bad weather. Snakes make her nervous, but not as badly as spiders. She's scared of talking to people when she doesn’t have to. She also despises heights.

Strengths:
Her writing her is strongest point. She's also a wonderful singer, but getting her to sing publicly is basically impossible. Literature is her strong point at school. Working with animals comes easy to her, and all animals seem to like her.
Weaknesses:
Her violin skills aren't horrible, but they definitely need some work. Math and P.E are her worst subjects at school, and her time management could use a lot of work. She's really shy around crowds, and that could use a lot of work too.

Greatest Fear:
Spiders. No competition for that.
Greatest Desire:
To have one of her books published.

Goals in life:
1. To have at least one of her books published.
2. To improve her violin skills.
3. To make it into a good collage, hopefully with a scholarship.
4. To become a veterinarian when she's older.
5. To run a non-kill animal shelter

What Does He/She Regret:
She regrets choosing to come to a boarding school, because it separates her from the only people close to her.
What is He/She Proud of:
She's proud of her books, and her grades.

Family life:
Home life is rough. She hates her parents for moving her from her friends and family, but clings to them because they're the last people she has left.

Other:
She has two pet cats, named Lilly and Tiger. Lilly is a small dark grey female with electric blue eyes, that always seem to criticizes everyone/thing around her. Tiger is a large male, with orange and brown tabby fur. His light orange eyes are always round with curiosity, and he's constantly getting into things.

(Good form, Lily!

I hate to post out of turn, but I totally blanked and forgot to tell you guys that I'm in another state on vacation right now and I won't be on much. I'll try to get on as much as possible, and I should be able to every once in a while. I'll check for posts every day, so I won't be super behind. Have fun guys!)

Hair colour: Solid, natural, light brown. It has never been dyed, and has no other markings in it [for instance, streaks of blonde.]
Eye colour: They are a dull greyish blue. Owen's eyes aren't very different, and they are very normal, and wouldn't really catch anyone's attention.
Skin colour: He is white, but slightly tanned. He doesn't have any freckles. He doesn't tan or get sunburns easily, but he spends so much time in the sun that he actually got a bit of a tan.
Special Markings: He has no tattoos, and no piercings whatsoever. He doesn't like those things.
Height: Owen is tall, at 6ft 5in.
Clothing style: Owen doesn't wear clothes that stand out too much. He wears plain, normal clothes. Usually just plain jeans, and a plain T-shirt. If it's cold he'll wear a hoodie or a sweater. He wears running shoes usually. When he goes outside, he almost always wears a hat.
Hairstyle: He has normal-looking hair. It's moderately short. He doesn't have shoulder-length hair but he's not nearly bald, either. He doesn't care much about the way his hair looks.
Frame: Owen is tall, but not very thin. He's not too muscular, only a little. He's actually a pound or two overweight, which makes him pretty much undesirable and unpopular in highschool...

...Bump. Seriously, this is kinda sad. I worked really hard on that form. I PM'd bryght, posted on the main thread, bumped this a million times and everything. If people don't start coming back to this I'm just going to ask for a new proctor and a new thread; it's not fair that I have to wait for everyone else because they decided to quit. I was the first one to post on the main thread with my form. If you guys want to quit, can't you at least tell I Promise or bryght so I don't have to wait around?

EDIT: Never mind, I Promise hasn't been on since the 10th. Great. /sarcasm

[Lillyfur]

(( I'm sad too. I wanted to improve my RPing skills, but i don't know what to do without I Promice. ))
