Saving Sierra High OOC [Still accepting]

Saving Sierra High

Okay I'm gonna revive this project and see if it goes better this time


To all students of Sierra High.
Sierra High will be announced that the students enrolled this year will be the last students the school will be accepting as they are closing the place down and putting the property up for sale. I, for one, do not find this acceptable in any way and as of this year I will fight against the school's closure. If anyone is interested in helping me in this fight all you have to do is reply to this message and I will send you the information you need.
/Codex


This message was sent to all student email accounts a few days before the new school year began. The mail was crypted and could therefore not be traced. The RP is about a group of students trying to save their school from closure.

The School
Sierra high is an old and tired private school and the number of enrolling students is dropping every year however the school still remains a place of learning. The students are among competent teachers whom all are doing their best to prepare the students for the troubles of life. Despite this the school is still facing closure due to the fact that less and less students enroll and the school board sees no other option than closing the school and selling the property. The school was founded by Sierra Samuels in 1960 and is about to turn 70 years. The school includes several buildings.

East Building
This building contains all the classrooms (except the various labs) and several storeage rooms.

West Building
This building contains all administrative offices and important rooms such as the schoolboard meeting room, the teacher's lounge, the student council room, the school office, principal and vice-principal's offices and the school archieves which contains information on all students and staff ever to have been at the school.

South Building
This building contains all the various labs of the school. Chemistrylab, sciencelab, computerlab ect. You are only to enter this building if you have a access-card which are distributed by the advicor of the chemistry-club. All students which have buisness in the building have their own personal access-card and entry-code.

North Building
This building is devided into 2 separate departments. A boy's and a girl's department. These are the school dorms where the students live and spend their free-time. In the middle section there is a co-room containing various games (both board and electronic), a big-screen tv, computers and a jukebox. The top floor contains the teacher's rooms.

The gym hall
The gym hall is where all PE classes are held. It's also the place where the gym-club have their activities. They have changing rooms there which of course are devided into a boy's and a girl's section.

Assembly Hall
This is of course where all student annoucements are made. It is also in this hall the music-club performs and where most school parties are held. (Student parties are held at the dorm)

The clubs
(Please notice that these are the only clubs you can join. Try to devide yourselves equally into the clubs. All students must join 1 club and 1 club only and all teacher must be an advicor for a club. Max. 1 advicor per club.)

The music-club (Self-explaining)



The gymnastics-club (specialized in agillity)



The science-club (specialized in creating electronic devices for testing. (rockets, go-carts ect.))



The litterature-club (specialized in finding informations in books)



Student Council (They are the link between the students and the school board)



The chemistry-club (Specialized in working with chemicals)


The fashion-club (specialized in designing and making clothes)



Rules of the RP
(please stick to the rules. They're here for a reason)

No metagaming (taking control of someone elses character)
It's annoying and unfair.

Read all new posts before posting.
This is to ensure that all actions are getting credit.

Don't start events without my approval.
PM me or post in the OOC if you have any ideas for events. I'm always open to ideas and fresh inputs.

No one-liners.
They are annoying. Minimum of 4 written lines per character.

Do proper spelling and grammar.
Just stick to grammar and spell things properly. That means no sms-shortings and such. (this, of course, does not mean that you can use it, but only of your character is texting someone on a cellphone, email and such)

Romance is allowed but only to the point of kissing lips. Any tongues, flying clothes and further are to be done over PM. Keep the RP PG-13 (meaning readable for 13 year-olds)
Try to make sure no-one falls behind in the rp. So no rushing in the time-line.

Don't throw a flip if your character is not accepted in the first try. I will give constructive critism and advice on what to work on in order to be accepted into the RP.

My characters

Name:
Ann Davis

Age
17

Club
Computer-club
(Noticed this club is not on the list because it's considered closed)

Role
Student

Year/Subject
Junior

Joined the group?
Yes (she's the founder)

Personallity
Ann is a lonesome girl with a huge knowledge in computers and technology. She is a talented programmer and also has a gift for hacking into computer-systems and hiding her trail. It is said that it was a mix of her temper and her computer skills that got her into the school, however these are just rumors. She spends most of the day in front of her computer and always with her headphones and virtual reality goggles on. She dosen't spend much time socializing with others though she has a special relationship to Daniel, the student council president, though they are not dating.

Bio
Ann grew up with her parents and her older sister. Being the youngest Ann often felt overshadowed by her sister and therefore she isolated herself. She became one with her computer and never really caught any social skills when it came to talking to actual people. This has caused her to be very quiet. She spent a lot of her childhood experimenting with technology and hacking and has over the years aquired some very advanced skills in these things. She chose Sierra High because it's located far from Ann's home so she feels safe here since her parents can't just stop by to inspect what she's doing.

Name
Daniel Morris

Age
18

Club
Student council
(He's the president)

Role
Student

Year/Subject
Senior

Joined the group?
No, but he's against the closing

Personallity
Daniel is a guy of few words and therefore only speaks when he has something to say. He knows he carries heavy responsibillities as the student council president and therefore he is often seen as being very serious and almost cold, however he is in fact very friendly. He takes his job as the president of the student council very seriously and cares for the students which has made him popular and a rolemodel among the other students. He is often found in the student council room where he reads while enjoying moments of silence and solitude. He has a special relationship with Ann Davis though they are not dating.

Bio
Daniel grew up in a middle-class family where politics were a big part of the everyday life. His father is a politician and often shared his opinions at the dinner table. This had a huge effect on Daniel and he has always tried to get invokved with student councils at all his previous schools so he could have influence and make the world a better place to be. He quickly became popular among other students everywhere because he spoke their causes and always listened to everybody. All this attention caused him to seek the solitude whenever he could. He chose Sierra High because he wanted to join a school were the student council had a great deal of influence on the way the school was run. He quickly became a part of the council and he is now the president of it.

Note: The clubs are empty at this point but they are to be filled when I have time to review the character sheets.

Name
Ukitake Somogima

Age
16

Club
Gymnastics Club

Role
Student

Year/Subject
Sophomore

Joined the group?
Yes

Personality
Despite his appearance hes probably one of the rudest kids you'll ever meet. Hes quick to judge someone and based on first impressions could make or break whether or not he will ever accept that person. At the same time those that earned his trust are the people that he cares most for and would willingly fight for them even if his own defeat was guaranteed. Along with rude hes lazy and even insults some of his closest friends. The word stubborn couldn't be more perfect to describe him either. Home work is delayed till the last day and sometimes the last hour, his grades are horrible because of it. Ukitake can get energetic about the things he really wants from clothes, getting a certain position of power or getting to challenge someone in a competition.

Bio
Ukitake grew up raised by his mother, she was in love with a man at age 17 got pregnant and he hit the high way directly after. Her parents tried to claim the child but she fought hard and was able to keep her son and eventually after getting a job right out of high school as a model. With her parents and brother helping to take care of the boy while she was at work, she was able to be a mother and a model at the same time. However her looks started to fade and she got less work at around age 28. Ukitake was 11 at this point and she had a strong relationship with her son. Back when he was 8 they had made a pinkie pact to never let the world tear them apart and work as a team to make both of their lives happier.

However with a smaller pay check and a much lower salary job with no college education, she couldn't afford her life style. Ukitake took it upon himself to deal with bill collectors and the mail with mocking faces on their returns and smart ass attitude over the phone. Anything he could do to give his mom strength he did and refused to let the world harm her. This is when Ukitake developed a strong hatred for the rest of the world, believing that it was out to separate him from his mother. Everyone that wasn't in his family became the enemy and Ukitake treated them as such. Eventually though his mother was taken away for tax evasion, unpaid bills and even assault; though that took place when the police came to take her away and she fought to stay close to Ukitake. His last memories of her was when their pinkies were linked, and she slipped away as the police took her off. This is why periodically Ukitake will look down at his pinkie finger as if something was missing from it.

Upon arriving at this grandpa and grandmas house, Ukitake did everything he could to make them hate him. Everything a boy shouldn't do he did, everything society thought was so horrible he took it upon himself to embrace. This was his way of spiting the world and the laws within that world. Ukitake started cross-dressing, cussing, breaking curfew, starting fights, insulting random people, intentionally being rude at the dinner table and never cleaning up anything. The world had taken away what he wanted in this world, so he refused to play by their terms of acceptance. Eventually his grandparents lose the battle of patience and send him away to boarding school.

Name:
Honip A. Vale

Age: 17

Club:
Science Club

Role:
Student

Year/Subject
Junior

Joined the group?
Yes, although mostly out of boredome.

Personallity
Honip was always a bit of an odd duck. He spends most of his time tinkering,
or on his computer. When on his computer, he spends time messing around with
some basic programing, as in one year of Programming 1, so just some simple PASCAL, and his favorite internet location is
http://www.tvtropes.org He therefore tends to use these "Tropes" often in
his normal speech, making people think he is even more strange than he
usually is. Considers himself smart enough, however, to be considered
eccentric. Most people just think he's weird. Carries a backpack with many
internal pockets, carrying so much stuff in such a seemingly small space, and his
laptop, that nobody but him really knows what exactly is in it, as it never
leaves his side. The things he produces from it are so insanely, yet
illogically, useful, people actually take serious his claim of being [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrazyPrepared]crazy
prepared.[/url]

Bio
Honip was born and raised for most of his life in a small Florida town. He
decided he wanted to move farther north to get out of the heat, and away
from the many things wrong with his home state, not the least of whch was
the flawed education system. Sierra high seemed a deent enough school, and
he impressed the admissions people enough to let him in, though nobody is
quite sure how he pulled it off. They theorize his strangeness may have
broken their brains. Has only been here this year and last, so doesn't
really hold much of an attachement to the school.

Appearance
This, but less emo..

Name
Clare 'CJ' James

Age
16

Club
Literature Club

Role
Student

Year/Subject
Freshman

Joined the group?
No, she only just joined the school and doesn't really care.


Personality
Aspiring actor and psychology freak, CJ often reads too much into people's personalities and finds flaws in everyone. She isn't a loner but not having friends doesn't phase her. She loves movies and studying them closely, looking deeply into storylines and characters. She often gets shy around new people but is quick to warm up, especially if she is with someone she knows well. Her moods change rather quickly - one minute she'll be skipping along the pavement, screaming, then the next she'll be bitching about the last person who got on her nerves. The music she listens to - industral - is her release from the world, and she loves the lyrics, believing they have depth in them. When someone annoys her or says something she doesn't appreciate, she'll usually come back with a sarcastic comment, not caring what the reciever thinks of her. Because of her Englsh mum, her humour is very British, which gives her the ability to keep a straight face and sound serious when she says something stupid. As she's gotten older, she's realised that a lot of people don't understand or like that kind of humour, which frustrates her to the point of almost snapping, but is also why her humour's turned more sarcastic. She feels that the people around her are immature and she often feels older than her age. Because she used to be taller and bigger than other students, she often felt fat and it has given her a low self-esteem. She hides this by being loud and confident around people she feels better or more attractive than. She tries to seem happy and uncaring in front of everyone but the stress of constantly being someone she's not gets to her often and usually a couple of smokes is the only way to calm her down. She can always be more confident over text or msn than to someone's face.

Bio
CJ has always been the youngest in the family, and usually feels like she is being treated like a little kid. Her parents are very protective and don't trust her judgement. Growing up in the shadow of an older, do-good brother, CJ doesn't get much freedom. She always wanted to be different from everyone else so she tried to be a tom-boy. This gave her a strong build as she liked to do weights and she felt bigger than the other kids. She also watched wrestling which she still loves. Her family is middle-class and she lives in the outer suburbs of the city. When she got older, she wanted to get back at her parents and be free, so now she secretly smokes, drinks and has tried pot. Piercings are also her release and she now has 5 in each ear, a belly button piercing, two surface piercings beneath her eye and her tongue pierced. As her parents didn't want her to get the piercings, they punished her taking away her phone. This didn't worry her as she bought a laptop with her own money and didn't tell them. She wanted to go to a performing arts school but her parents made her go to Sierra High in the hopes she'll change her mind about her future and decide to go to college.

Appearance
CJ is short to medium height, strong build and has big boobs which she hates. Her blonde hair is parted in the middle and frames her face, going just below her shoulders. She has large, hazel eyes that she underlines with thick eyeliner. Her face is fairly round but her full lips take away that feature, especially when she smiles. She has a small nose that flicks up the end, but has no cartlidge. Her dentist just took her off braces and she now wears clear plates that nobody can notice. Her top teeth are slightly off centre, but again, only she notices. Because of her tongue piercing, (which looks like a pill) she talks with a slight lisp, though it is starting to fade as she gets used to it. She is quite pretty, but not in a sexy way, though she can be if she tries. One of the peircings at the top of her ear (near where her ear joins her head) is a small ring with a ball on it. The other one at the top, the one halfway down her ear and the back one on her lobes, are all small diamonds. The other one on her lobe is a white-gold sleeper that her late nan gave her for Christmas. She looks a lot older than her age, especially when she dresses to show off her hour-glass figure. She is always conscience of her muffin-top and has tried many things to get rid of it; including starving herself which she occasionally goes back to.
