-Douglas Bader
The city is Compton, California, where it is ruled by the unruly; gangs, violence, addiction, pain, and struggle. No one can even cross the street without trouble heading their way. South Central isn't safe anywhere. Outside are the gang members that irk the streets, and inside is the constant yelling and dysfunction.
The schools are no different. One in particular is Compton High School, the public school of the Tarbabies that put everything out in the open. Fighting, Sex, Drugs, Alcohol, and most important, Death, have been controlling their lives ever since they were even born. Their education served as last priority, or none at all.
However, there is hope. A new teacher, coming fresh out of Harvard, and graduated Honors as a English major, and Psychology minor, arrives to the school the first day of freshmen, and returning students to come back. This teacher will have them discover whats inside of them. Could it be self-confidence? Could it be agony? This teacher will help save this group of students from going down the wrong path; from remaining there walking for the rest of their lives.
Others, however, get in the way, whether it be the board of education, or those outside of school out in the streets.
Rules:
1.Well, read these rules first.
2.Godmodding is not encouraged. Well, I personally don't know why I put this in.
3.Blood can be encouraged. Gore can only be mentioned. It really depends though. No loose limbs and body parts hanging out.
4.If “The Addict”, be careful with what you choose, because Rem isn't very fond of drug use, I see.
5.Romance is encouraged. Sex can be mentioned, but not very descriptively. Eroticism can only be used on PMs.
6.Violence is encouraged, since they are going to be around it.
7.Be capable of posting at least once every 3-5 days. I understand about school stuff. Ugh! I'm doing assignments everywhere.
8.Don't forget to subscribe on both the OOC and the IC.
9.Reservations can only he held for three days, or 72 hours.
Roles:
The Snitch
This teenager is now in court, testifying a murder involving someone they found special to them. Others, however, are stopping at nothing to get the student from testifying.
The Life-Changing Girl
This teenager had it all; the perfect life, good grades, and then she meets the man of her dreams. They performed unprotected sex and it lead to drastic changes. The guy refuses to speak to her, and her parents can barely stand her now. All she trusts is herself. (Person who plays this character can decide what the issue is)
The Gang Member
A member of a notorious local gang. This student has had many run ins with the police, and also many stays in jail. This student may have some delinquency, but deep inside, something needs to release itself.
The Gang Member's Rival
Another member of a notorious local gang. This gang, however, conflicts with another. Everytime both gangs collide, they cause quite a explosive fight. This class, however, is going to teach this student and the rival to unite as one.
The Rape Victim
A girl who had also met the man of her dreams, but unlike him, she wanted to wait to have sex till she got married. This man, in response, forced himself onto her, and as helpless as she was, couldn't withstand. Now this traumatic experience leads to plenty of sorrow and despair, as she is disrespected by many in the school.
The Outcast
This student is constantly picked on in school, and it seems as though no one likes them. This person has even thought of rather dangerous procedures. All he/she wants is a friend in need.
The Addict (Some drugs can't be shown on post, so be careful with this one)
This student has an addiction that developed when she/he was a child, and the parents had tried to help, but relapse after relapse occurs, so they had given up on him/her.
The Homosexual
This student is constantly discriminated for their sexuality. Even they struggle at defending themselves as people pick on them constantly (depends on the gender of this character). Now they seek for equality, and will stop at nothing to get it.
The It Student
This student is the most popular student in school. This student is always described as “pretty” or “cute”. They even pick on the outcasts, or what they consider as “The bottom of the food chain”, but going to the class, it will change them forever.
The Fighter
This person has an addiction for violence, whether it be fighting, or putting holes on walls and objects. They have had their many runs with the police as well.
The Abused
This person is raised by an abusive parent (could be mother or father). This parent always comes home and if angry, puts the blame on the student. Bruises and pains surround this student's body, and he/she refuses to tell anyone about it.
The Minority (This depends on the ethnicity of the character)
This person flew from another country to attend the school. The student is always picked on, because he/she......just doesn't know English very well. Deep inside this person has a dark secret regarding their ethnic heritage, whether it be refugee camp, or painful traditions.
The Friend
This person had been best friends with someone ever since they were little kids. One moment in 7th grade, however, affects their friendship, and the student's live, as their friend was killed. Now this haunts the student as they was there at the incident.
The Teacher
Well, pretty self-explanatory. The teacher has a focus at bettering the student's lives.
People can add more roles. Just notify me about it, and explain the situation like the other roles above.
