Feel free to ask.

I'm not sure if I'm just missing it or something, but are there any descriptions of the houses? I tried to click the links, but they just reroute back to the same informational thread. I realize there are the three departments (arts, academics, and athletes); I just have a few ideas for characters, but I'm not sure what is within the limits of each house. So, maybe additionally to a description, some typical interests/specializations for each house would be helpful?

Whoops, the links were from when I'd originally had folders for characters in each department and I forgot to edit it out after reorganizing.

There's not too much specific about each one — Saito is academically driven and designed for students who focus primarily on expanding their resume through advanced courses, Fulsom has pretty much any average American school sport (so... no rugby or competitive shooting, but other than that theres not much that isn't included), and Gabriel includes all arts, including performing arts, 3D work, media arts, etc.

I hope that helps. In general it's a very laid back group, and the only guidelines are that a student cannot be in more than one department, and nothing ridiculously out there.

Okay, awesome! Thanks Kat

np! If you have any other questions feel free to ask :)

Forgive my neediness
I thought maybe a thread to keep track of people's extracurricular activities/specialization would be helpful?
That way like if multiple people were listed in the same categories like dancers, gymnasts, baseball players, whatever else, they would know what other charries their characters would know/have possible relations towards?
Rather than having to go look through the charrie thread to see what charries have in common there could be a thread


Obviously feel free to say no bc this is honestly just for people who are me aka lazy
And I know this is a more laid back group so maybe you don't want to go super organizational with it

yeah, that's a great idea! i'll make it once i get time :)

Noice noice
Much appreciated!!

I just realised you said "Fulsom has pretty much any average American school sport," which means no rugby and competitive shooting. I'm not sure which sports fit that criteria, so is it alright if I check with you what are Fulsom sports and what aren't? I just want to ask about a few sports I had in mind:

- wrestling / taekwondo / boxing
- canoeing / sailing
- equestrian
- archery

And by the way (sorry if this doesn't have anything to do with the rp) I was just wondering (not a suggestion or anything, I'm just curious) if American schools have uniformed groups? Like Scouts, St. John Brigade, etc. It's just I've never really seen anything like that in rp groups and even in media?

I'd say:
- wrestling yes, taekwondo/boxing could be extracurricular but not through school
- yes
- yes
- yes

We have Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts but tbh I don't know that much about them? I only did Girl Scouts for one year in kindergarten lol

Can students have multiple specialisations?

yes, but only within the same department :)

ok, thanks

what's their policy on laptops as books?

I'd say laptops are probably permitted in class for notes/writing papers but likely not used as textbooks..?

yeah, that's what i meant

Hey Aubree, with respect to the plot, if a charrie or two was planning on throwing a back to school party/ secret location bash, where would that location be? Would the school allow them to get away with a woods party? With alcohol and drama-filled shenanigans galore?

I'm so sorry, I swear I thought that I'd answered this, sorry. Honestly I don't know where they would realistically hold it, but for the sake of the roleplay I think a woods party or something along those lines is fine.

Awesome, that's what we were thinking.

In that case can we get some outdoor threads?
like woods, gazebo, pond, etc

Yeah, I'll get on that.
