Introduction
The first, and most awe-inspiring, aspect of the island that ones eyes would be drawn onto was the large volcano that would be easily mistake for mountain if it wasn’t for the large and seemingly endless amount of smoke escaping from the top. After managing to break away from that view, their eyes would then latch onto the multi-colored roofed and oddly shaped cross of Modern and Egyptian structures that was the design of the Academia Main Building, placed at the foot of the mount-, volcano. Finally, after closing dropped jaws, the students would turn to look at the small light-house, would stood jutting out from the Pier, signaling the beginning of the academy ground, signaling the beginning of their new lives and friendships to come.
The passenger ship harboring the new students arrives at the docks. Gliding to a stop, the boat lowers down its stairs to let the kids off. They pile onshore, eager to start their years at the academy. After a moment of confusion, an adult steps into the view of all the new arrivals. He introduces himself as the Vice-Chancellor and then begins to shepherd them all into a classroom with a screen. After all the students had entered the screen flickered on, showing a man behind a desk.
"Good morning and welcome my students, I'm Chancellor Laurence, the Headmaster here." He begins. "And you are the best and brightest young duelist in the world. The teaching staff here will work their hardest to make sure you become a pro in no time at all! You don't need money here, rather we take Dueling Points. You earn them by dueling, the better you play the more you earn. These points can be spent on a variety of things, most commonly used for buying booster packs. Now please, get yourself settled in at your assigned dorms. I think you'll find them quite comfortable. Depending on how you ranked of course."
The screen flicks off and the Vice-Chancellor takes to the stage. He starts to call out the names of students one by one. When the student come on the stage he/she is handed three things; an official Duel Academy Duel-Disk, A high-tech bracelet (Explained as a device used to keep track of your DP count), and three complete sets of your new uniform. After everyone received their packages, the Vice-Chancellor dismissed everyone and left the room through a side door.
Welcome to my new Yu-Gi-Oh! GX RP! I personally think the GX universe will be the easiest to role-play in because it’s set in a limited area. As the story gets deeper more areas will open up, but I want to focus on having fun more then the story, so don't get all stressed out. I'd tried to make this as free flowing as possible, so that if you need awhile off, you won't be holding anybody back. I don’t intend to hold a stern hand over this, I’ll just build the road and let you drive however you so please, however break the rules and you’ll get pulled over, in a manner of speaking.
Feel free to ask questions and/or give you input on things as they happen. Have a good plotline idea? Don’t hesitate to send me a PM with details, because I want this to last and thus plots are needed.
One thing I ask your input in right now is;
Whether or not to allow the use of Sychros and/or Xyzs.
Arc-I
The New Kids In Town
During this arc, we will just stage duels for a few days to get a feel for the system. These duels don't have to be between other role-players, you could just duel a random un-named character.
Duel System
When cards are added to hand write it like so = [?+? Cards]
When adding or subtracting life points = [???? -/+ ??? = ???? LP]
When placing cards facedown or activating one, post remaining = [? Facedowns]
You get the gist of it right? Do this after every respective move.
We duel using the real-life rules, I don’t care how much money you have. However we ‘battle’ with an anime approach. For example, effects such as Time Wizard’s, were spinning the arrow instead of flipping a coin seems more appropriate, we’ll anime-it-up.
Duels will be played out in PM’s or any other convenient way, written as one, single, collaborative work, and posted all at once to avoid confusion and spamming the IC with small battle paragraphs.

Wanting to feel more welcome, Derek quicky snuck into a patch of trees. Using the plant-life as cover he changed into his uniform, along with taking a small leak. When walked back into veiw, he thought to himself I feel like something's missing..Oh! Right! He quickly picked up his Duel Disk from the spot where it was leaning against the statue. He then straped the device on the arm opposite the one with his new wristband. There! That feels a whole lot better. He thought of going to his dormroom to take a nap, but there was a slight problem. He didn't know where it was! "Ahh, screw it. I'll find it eventually," He sighed to himself," Time to have a look around!" He then began to wonder the complex.
After walking around for a few minutes, Derek stumbled upon what looked like an old shack. The roof was red in color, but the paint was old. Parts of the building were rusted, others were falling off completely. But, he didn't care how old it was, he was just glad he found a place to sleep. He walked around back, and all his troubles were forgotten. "Awwwwsome." Derek breathed as he took in the view before him. There was nothing but open sea as far as the eye can see. The ocean waves sparked in the sun. A combination of sea salt and a pleasant aroma assualted his sense of smell in a wonderful way. He threw his box of clothes on the ground, and using it as pillow, laid down. "Ahhh! This is perfect!" He yawned aloud, dozing off in the warm sunlight.

"Sanchez, Scares, Sendoa", Pino heard his last name called and he quickly walked up to get his stuff. He opened up the box to find everything in there with a vibrant yellow design to it. Firstly he lifted the uniform and admired how clean and awesome it looked. He quickly pulled it over himself and looked down at himself, and he wished he had brought a mirror right now. Then he took out the duel disk with a yellow design to it, and quickly strapped it on his arm. The newfound weight made him feel so powerful as if he was the greatest duelist in the world. He took his deck out of his pocket and inserted it into the device. Pino could not wait to show off his new Gemknight deck, although he still had alot of building to do. He lastly put on the last piece of equipment which was something that looked like a digital watch, but it just had the number zero on it. It was supposed to keep track of how much DP you have. This device will help Pino build his deck stronger.
With a thrilled mood he went ahead and let himslef be known. Withen minutes he was the subject of alot of people's conversation. He had already made many friends and that's how he liked it. Girls seemed to look at him and giggle while other guys seemed jealous of this. He was already really popular.

"Gee, first day and I already get hit in the face."
After a moment of walking he arrives at what looks like the Slifer red dorm. Hanataro gazes at it and say's to him self "Red dorm...is tool shed?" He then looks over at the harbor.
"SUGOI! Such a great view, and look at this open field outside the dorm. This is a great place to have a part or dueling. So what if shed is dorm, still seems like fun." Hanataro puts the box down holding of his new stuff and looks around thinking to him self "I wonder where everyone else is, maybe I should explore a bit more." The kid stays there for a wile contemplating on what he should do.

The Vice Chancellor’s voice echoed towards the students. The Vice-Chancellor was giving a simple speech to the students. The words were instructions on what they would receive once their name was called. Some students seemed nervous, others too eager to go. Lena did not respond. Instead she stood there calmly and listened. Whatever the Chancellor had to say must be really important. Or at least she thought so. Once the speech was over, Lena waited for her name to be called. It was nerve wracking to stand in the crowd. Why do you ask? Well, there weren’t as many girls at the academy as she thought there would be. Lena knew that dueling is a male dominated activity, but she figured that there would be a ‘decent’ amount of girls. Well, she guessed wrong.
“Lena Hartman” the Vice Chancellor called out. Lena jerked out of her own thoughts and walked forward. She managed to make it on the stage and take the box out of his hands. The young girl stared down at the black box as she slowly made her escape. The contents in the box would contain everything she needed for the academy. When she opened it, she pulled out a bright yellow duel disk, and a yellow blazer. Lena stood up and put the blazer on. She was pleasantly surprised, since female students would normally have to wear a vest, or so she heard. Still she was happy. Lena left the little device in the box and placed her duel disk back in it as well. She was going to throw on her uniform before she started to explore the academy. With that goal in mind, Lena headed towards the Ra dorms. Or at least she hoped she was.

The boat pulled into the academy dock smoothly and came to a halt. The other kids began to file out in two by two fashion. Jason looked up at the sun, he had rather regretted wearing his black shirt with his black jeans today, but, what was done was done. He hopped off the top deck and grabbed a railing below, then hoped onto the dock. He made his way to the spot the proctors were shepherding them to. He stood at the back waiting for something to happen. Then the kids fell quiet and voice could be heard. The voice of the Chancellor, who Jason guessed was like the principal. It was recording so his voice could be heard through the speakers. Jason listened intently, then the transmission stopped. The person who was the Vice-Chancellor got onto the stage and began calling out names.
Jason waited for his name to be called. It was a rather long time before they got to to him, another curse of his last name. When they finally called him, the other students that were waiting turned and stared at him. Way to make a guy feel welcome Jason said to himself. He got up on stage and grabbed the box and other things and was off before you could say "Let's Duel!". He ran off to a tree and opened his package to reveal a yellow blazer and yellow duel disk. He threw the blazer on leaving it unzipped. He then placed the duel disk in his bag, and his Dp bracelet on hi right wrist. He then proceeded to to the Ra dorms.......which he had no idea how to get too. So he picked a direction and started to walk.
He was walking along rather quickly. He looked up at the sun, airing out his shirt. It was pretty hot today and Jason definitely regretted his choice of wardrobe. He wasn't looking where he was walking and he ran into another Ra student with mint colored hair. "Oof! Oh, I'm really sorry about that. I guess I wasn't looking where I was going. Heheh." Jason said with an embarrassed smile. He looked at the person he just ran into and it was a girl. He hadn't seen any girls on the ship, these days Dueling was a predominantly male sport but there still where female duelists. "Hey, would you happen to know the way to the Ra dorms? I just got here and I'm pretty lost. I'm Jason, by the way." Jason sai, still embarrassed that he just ran into her. Also deciding not to tell her his last name at the moment.

Hanataro shouts out after his monster was desotoyed "Twin-headed Behemoth Allows me to special summon him right back to the field with 1000 attack and deffence points. So do you end your turn yet?" Hanataro looks at his hand and thinks to him self "This guy has a dedicated field card to wind monsters. I should see more comming."

Lena is not a small girl, standing at five feet seven inches. So, the bump was not enough to send her flying. However, it did knock her back into reality. Lena was so surprised that she dropped her box and lost her footing. Luckily, she caught herself before she fell over. Unfortunately, she could not save her box. The cardboard object hit the ground with a loud thump, causing her to flinch. Her gazed slowly moved from her box to the person who bumped into her. The young man seemed embarrassed, so she did not want to make a big deal out of the incident.
“No it’s fine. Really” Lena said as she smiled at the individual. She quickly grabbed hold of her box and peeked inside. It would be a shame if she were to break her duel disk and bracelet on the first day. Nothing seemed to have fallen off, so maybe it was okay for now. Once she found her dorm, she would check it over then. Hearing the guy speak to her, Lena looked at him as she held her box. Another small smile appeared on her face.
“I actually don’t know myself. I’m new here as well. I just started walking in this direction” she said politely.
“I’m Lena and congratulations on making it to RA. Maybe we should ask someone else, or go on a journey. The island is beautiful” Lena started to trail off again.
“What would you like to do?”

Becuase of Pino he had now had alot of Ra's watching the duel. He had provided the duel with an audience and Pino was watching the duel just to see who wins. Most of the girls struggled to get a seat next to Pino, but he didn't mind them he was too focused on the duel.

They were walking for about 3 minutes when Jason decided to speak up. "Hey, next time I start rambling like that, just throw me a sock. I would like my foot protected the next time i decide to shove it into my mouth." Jason said with a smile. He looked ahead and noticed they were along a cliff side and looked down at the beach and the waves crashing against the rock. "This island really is beautiful. It's nice to just get out once and awhile an just admire the tranquility and harmony of nature. I sort of forgot the reason we were walking around, though I think I found a better one." He said with his eyes closed and a smile. "So, what was your reason for joining duel academy? Besides the obvious one, that you want to learn to be a better duelist, but that is a means, not an end." He said in a calm tone. "What is your end, Lena?"

Hearing Josh speak, Lena smiled. He’s right, the island is beautiful. Her blue eyes lazily gazed at the academy. A peaceful expression appeared on her face again and she slowly started to drift into her own thoughts. Clear blue skies, beautiful flowers, the whole nine yards. However, someone pulled her out of her thoughts.
"I mean the island is beautiful! In case you thought I was talking about you, not that you’re not beautiful, which you are! But, what I meant to say was…” he said quickly. Staring at Jason, Lena had a puzzled look on her face. What in the world was this guy talking about? ‘Of course the island is beautiful’ she thought. ‘Then why is he talking about me….’ It didn’t hit here until later. A huge grin stretched out across her face. Then she laughed a really hardy laugh. She couldn’t even respond to his next statement. Lena just chose to walk ahead. The pair started on their ‘journey’ without a word. That was probably her fault, because every so often she would let out a giggle. Luckily, Jason started to speak. This caused Lena to become silent. His question did not surprise her. In fact, she wanted to answer it.
“I’m on a quest” Lena said with a straight face. Ever since she was little, whenever she would go in search for anything she would call it a ‘quest’. One could guess that she was a sucker for hero stories.
“I want to find out what’s works for me. I like dueling and I feel like being here would help me discover something. You know?” Lena shrugged as if what she said wasn’t really important. Wasn’t it normal for people to go on soul searches? Just as she finished her statement, Lena turned towards something interesting. There was a flock of yellow blazers walking in a particular direction. They seemed excited about something or another.
“The dorm” Lena shouted a little too loudly. Lena normally didn’t follow any crowds, because it usually meant trouble, but this time it seemed smart. Yellow jackets plus groups of students had to equal to them walking to the dorms. At least it did in her mind. Gesturing towards the group, Lena looked at Jason for reassurance.
“Do you think they would know? I mean there is a group of them. I think we should follow." The words seemed to blend together.
