EastCrag's School for the Hellishly Corrupt

[tigger]

Guess who's back back back, back again, gain gain?
(why am I quoting slim shady)

Yeh so... I've had relly bad writers' block for a while but I wanna kick it and try out this book idea I have cos it's very vague rn and I just need creative material. I want this role play to be a little more "free" in that ur good to make as many characters as you want (and never use them if you want) and all the characters are free for everybody to use. Even if a character is usually written by person A, if person B thinks they have a good idea for the character, they may write from the characters point of view. Make sense? This will cause blunders and weird out of character moments (if this rp even gets that far) but that's ok, I just want content.

So plot!

Basically think reform school located in Hell, taught by a mixed staff of demons and angels, students ranging in age between 18 and 25, living in dorms, only allowed to leave with supervision. If a student graduates, they may go to Heaven. Hell is obviously too populated for one school to facilitate all human recovery, so we are focusing on one of the many schools: EastCrag. It's named such because it's located on a really cavernous mountain and there was already a WestCrag and tadaaa.

So yeah please run wild.

Name: Anika
Gender: bi, but typically fem
Personality: only in school because her mother made her promise to follow her to Heaven, and her mother was the only person to ever do her right. very willful and angry, but fiercely intelligent.
Appearance: slight, curvy, with dark skin and braided hair which she keeps pinned back.
Year: 14 (she isn't very good at this)
Other: Known as kind of a veteran, kind of a defender of the little man, kind of annoyingly pretentious, grumpy mom.


So yeah

You're name is Anika and you can't believe you still run late to your 8 am class. Yes, you admit, scrambling around your room in boxers and an overcoat, it is early and yes! you admit! stuffing a loosely socked foot into some boots beside your bed! very little light filters through that joke they call a window. BUt this was no excuse! You scowl at yourself in the mirror, letting your hair down and tying it back, fixing and adding eyeliner. You have been here 14 years, you should definitely be accustomed to waking up at 8 every morning.
Because you have to, every single morning. Class begins promptly at 8 every single day with no breaks or ceasefire. It's merciless for the night owls. Yet here you are, stumbling around and, shoot, waking you're room mate....


(ooc: i'm just writing in 2nd person cos i like it and it's tricky so i'm tryin to get used to usin it but nobody else has to use it)

ooc-
name: Cassidy
gender: fem
personality: very laid back to the point of sloth-like, with a bit of a temper problem.
appearance: shaggy golden curls halo her sleepy face, the slightest bit beefy in her arms and thighs but enveloped in a thin layer of fat to hide the muscle, with an oval face and sunken in, yellow eyes.
year: 42 (veteran lmao)
other: easily been at east crag the longest, cassidy does not have the confidence in herself required to graduate, and it lessens every year. each year she's apart from her child, Abel, she becomes more dependent on drugs and sleep.
bic-
"wh'time is't?" you groggle, fighting through a heavy cloud of unconsciousness and medicinal hangover because you hear your room mate scrabbling around.

"Umm. Bout eight." Anika says edgily, scooting out the door. You squint at her. "I gotta run to class..."

"You wake me up and then just leave," you grumble, but you're too tired to care much, and you roll over and fall back asleep.

Phew, you think, running as quietly as you can now that you're out of the room. Sometimes escaping Cassidy could be tricky- that was one powerful, and grumpy, demon. The journey to your first class isn't long, but it involves going past the window-covered school office, which surveys all of east crag's numerous cave and tunnel openings. The atrium leads to almost all of the classes and rooms, so it's rather unavoidable being seen.

Taking a deep breath, you silently sprint across the atrium to the leftmost tunnel. You tense as your foot lands a little louder than you intend and you can't help yourself, you glance over to where the office lives. Have you been caught?

OOC: I have a few questions, and I don't mean to sound silly asking, but the students are all human? Can we play any of the angel and demon teachers? Though I don't follow the lore of all angels good and all demons bad, in case we can play them... Personally, I'm not too big on making characters that others will use without permission, but at the same time it sounds like it could give some interesting ideas, and be cool. I want to join and will when I think of characters~.

ooc- YOU'RE GOOD HI :3 i missed u <3 soooo basically I want this to stay sort of simple so imagine that demons and angels are primarily humans who have died. I figure most people go to a sort of remedial course where they go over where they went wrong in life and then are like baptized and sent to heaven. once ur in heaven, ur an angel yay. but if you are in need of "special help" or you've been particularly rebellious or not committed to being "good", you go to hell. Where you can either spend eternity among death, or you can go to a reformatory school.
But eternity is a long time, and that's not to say that culture hasn't formed in Hell. There are some people who are comfortable with their darkness and decide to remain in Hell without repenting and rising to Heaven. Some of these demons have built cities and provide goods and services to each other in a kind of anarchal, precarious free-market trade system. And some of those demons got jobs at reform schools. Just cos they don't practice what they preach doesn't mean they can't teach and maybe there's good benefits from working there idk we'll figure that all out. Reformatory schools like to hire some demon teachers because the students can relate better to them and it's safer for the angels, who may be subject to harassment while in hell.

LIkewise, in Heaven there are cities and cultures and a kind of utopian society where everybody contributes in some form or fashion and are free to reap from the goods and services provided by others. no capitalism or trade necessary, just strong social contract. Imagine that Hell is Hobbes and Heaven is Locke. Anyways, some devote their lives to helping the unsaved.

So you can create both demon and angel characters, and they can be teachers or students. But the students are all demons. However!!!!
There are schools in Heaven too! Just, more academic or creatively focused. So when there are sporting events or mixers sometimes a school from Hell will go up against a school from Heaven idk. But that's in the futureeeeeeee so if that excites you at all we just need to move forward ^u^

and yeah the free character thing should be pretty uncomfortable but that's ok !

OOC: I've missed you too!! <3 And I think I get it, some of that confused me a little, but surely as we play, it might become more clear for me. XD;;; But yeah, lol, this reminds me a tad of God's Kisses, though two different plots and characters. I actually wondered if we could revive that and possibly other old RPs, if enough people come back. Or/and we do a one on one maybe?


Name: Raven
Gender: Female
Personality: Typically the quiet and mysterious one. The teachers are the only ones who truly know her so far. Raven does not speak much, and avoids most social contact, so of course especially the students don't know much about her. She has earned the title of a loner due to doing everything herself, and not asking for any help. She in fact does not need any, as she has proven to others she is quite intelligent, able to figure things out her own way. She is outwardly polite most times, but it's clear she holds a grudge against something or someone...
Appearance: A short girl for her age, easily missed. She has wavy black hair, tied in a half ponytail where it braids down the middle. Her skin is eerily pale, especially against the black of her hair. Her eyes are a piercing deep blue, by which she wears nail polish on her fingernails to match her eye color.
Year: 5
Other: Always on time to classes, but tends to bring food with her. She seems to have a huge love for food, always apparently hungry.

Name: Phelyx Knox
Gender: Male
Personality: A demon teacher who is strict to his work. He is all about the rules of the school, and reminds everyone, even teachers to follow them. He may be strict, but he relates to his students well, and helps them any way he can. In the end, he means well, and tends to be respected as he does respect everyone else.
Appearance: A tall man who wears a white business suit. His hair is a rusty red, while his eyes are a light blue. He has freckles that paint over the top of his cheeks, and more run down his arms.
Year: 1179
Other: After having graduated the school himself many years ago, he took a job at the very school only about two years later. Since then, he has been teaching and guiding the students down to a path he hopes helps them in the end.

Name: Maelie De Sauveterre
Gender: Female
Personality: A cheerful girl who loves to talk. Her biggest hobby is to tell others about history and her own life. She is otherwise well mannered, and prefers to show proper courtesy. If her students are good enough in some way, she tends to reward them with free food and soft drinks.
Appearance: Wears a formal pink dress, with pink flower hair clips holding her hair up in a loose bun. She wears hazy brown eye shadow on the eyelids of her green eyes. Her hair is a dirty blonde.
Year: Heaven- 1742 Hell's EastCrag- 35
Other: An angel who had been teaching in Heaven for a long time. For awhile, she started going back and forth between Heaven and Hell, getting in more training as a teacher. This was before she officially became a teacher in Hell, and recently started working there.

Name: Ace
Gender: Male
Personality: A mischievous man who does more harm to those he likes to prank. He acts kindly to the teachers, but tends to be insulting to his classmates. He doesn't remember why he was put in the school, but plays along for keeping himself from getting bored. He likes to play with girls hearts if he can, and mess with anyone else. He's not interested in reforming, at least that's how it appears on the outside.
Appearance: Short brown hair that has been spiked using hair-gel. His eyes are brown. He would be one of the guys many would find attractive, but typically has the "bad bone" underneath. His facial features are soft and strangely welcoming, but one could say in general, he just leaves you with a 'bad vibe'.
Year: 33
Other: Loves to party and ruin whatever he can get his hands on.

Since we're doing a free for all character making and playing, I thought making this would be beneficial. I hope.

BIC:

A male teacher looks up from his paper work. In the office, he sat on a chair at a desk, having just been finishing up a few needed papers. However, after pausing due to the noise, he didn't return to doing his paperwork. Instead, he stood up, and walked out. "Anika..." Phelyx says with a frown. "Try being quieter next time, that's what you thought, right?" He called out to her. There was no intention to stop her. She was trying to get to class? Then he'd let her. "Be sure not to get in trouble when you get to class. You still have a couple minutes."

He looked at the watch on his wrist. Anika must have been tired or something, Phelyx guessed. Well..it's not like a student oversleeping was unusual. Some were too much of night owls even. Though, regardless, it was due to the fact it was almost time for class, he stayed where he was, watching her off. Don't let me get in your way, he thought.
