Aｃａｄｅｍｙ Hａｎｄｂｏｏｋ
This thread will serve mainly as a place for announcements, note, rules, hiatuses and whatnot, basically as the plot moves forward and we encounter new details, this thread will be updated to specify such things. It can also include some terminology and little known facts about the World of Kreonia. I'll paste a link on the bottom of my posts whenever I update this thread, so there's no need to be constantly checking it unless I say otherwise. Also, if you're not going to be around for a while, you can comment in here about it, but I figure the main OOC is probably best for that.
The Academy works on a merit system, the better your grades the more you gain on a stipend (money, or whatever you consider equivalent to currency), you could very well live like a King depending on how much you earn from your stipend, or you could live in a room with with no bed, and dry cardboard bread to eat, it all comes down to how diligent you are in your studies. You can use this money for nearly anything, so long as it doesn't include illegal activities, although there isn't an adequate system to stop this since it happens so frequently) ,and transfer it anywhere. Also this stipend comes in the form of a credit card in case you want to purchase things faster, breakfast and lunch eaten at the school needs to be paid with this stipend, and it is mostly used to pay for textbooks and weapons. You are paid either weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly depending on your grade. Weekly being the best, monthly being the worst, sometimes punishments may also affect how much you are paid.
After your classes are over, you're allowed to roam within city limits (the city is pretty huge, you get lost and an android can assist you with transportation back to the school), but you must be back around at least 1am, if you're younger than 18, you are required to be back by 11pm.
Outside of school grounds, anyone over the age of 18 is allowed to exercise their right to adulthood (e.g drinking alcohol, club going, voting, other more...nefarious things), or even live in the city instead of the dorms of the castle (although this costs an incredible amount of money and is ill advised). Although, on school grounds you are not allowed to drink, smoke or wear gang paraphernalia. (Think of it like college)
You aren't allowed to use your weapons or magicks unless you are training, your life is under threat, or a superior/professor has given you express permission to do so.
Moderators typically monitor the hallways and take care disputes, they may even given out punishments if needed, though you're are only in serious trouble if you invoke the attention of the Administrators.
Every room, either dorm, or single room, has a Inter-Comm system(s) that is something like a personal computer of sorts given to you by the school, it is also attuned to send messages to students within their dorms. Students can also take it with them, and usually have a physical kindle to open it up in class, though you aren't required to bring it or even keep it.
If you don't have an Inter-Comm, or are too far for a message to be sent using said system, an android will be deployed to send you this message, and they will invariably find you somehow (androids are just annoying like that.) Most of them attend to the janitorial services of the school though, and tend to be quite curios about human behavior, nonetheless they are typically as friendly(?) as any A.I.
You and everyone else were once part of a class, your last home room teacher died while under a personal mission, and for the last three months all of you have yet to be assigned a new home room teacher or put on any new missions. Instead you been attending afternoon classes to keep yourself busy, though rumor has it that those who aren't given missions regularly are targeted for removal from the Academy by administration. Luckily for all of you, it looks like that won't be the case ;)
