Nightmare at The St. Beleth Highschool Signup
 

The St. Beleth Highschool is a secondary education institute located in a remote area of the United States, and considered one of the best schools available for mid/upper class children, though it does give out scholarships twice a year to random children whom the headmaster feels are deserving to have access to the facility.

The school itself is enormous, given that used to be a massive, million-dollar worth house owned by the headmaster. The perfect place for children to spend their teenage years. Or maybe not?

The RP will start at a random day of the year when parents are allowed to come to the school and see how their children are faring, talk to their teachers, etc. However, strange things will happen, dark events that will turn the dream school in a true nightmare. Or so I hope, anyway

-------------------------------

The RP, as you might have guessed, will have a survival horror-like environment. Characters should be teenagers from ages 14 to 17, no adults, and no smaller children, like younger brothers, though you can still introduce a younger child as an NPC at any given time if it serves to advance a sub-plot for your character.

Please, try to keep your skills and starting gear inside a reasonable radius for a teen. No combat ready, gun toting super soldiers, no knights in shining armor, you get the point.

Instead of a gun-toting super soldier, you could have a character who likes firearms, which could make him a better shot than other characters and allow him to start with a replica of a handgun that fires BBs.

Instead of the knight in shining armor, you could have a physically capable guy who practices kendo or some other sort of combat sport. If he practiced kendo, he could start with a bokken, or even a replica of a sword, if he can wield it.

That way, we can keep some realism in the characters.

When posting a character, try to use this format:

It makes it easier for me to navigate the bios. The weaknesses part is to add a sense of realism and to balance characters a bit. For example, the guy with the replica gun can get winded up easily or have very little pain tolerance. It makes for excellent RP traits too, as a frail guy would probably hate being close to enemies, and would run back if he met one up close. A reasonable number of weaknesses would be one every two skills

My character is this

Name: Deemer Van Tassel

Age: 16

Appearence: Deemer has jet black hair which he keeps short, slightly below the neck. For clothing, he wears blue cargo pants, a sleeveless red shirt and a black leather jacket, together with running shoes and fingerless leather gloves. In the way of accesories, he likes to wear small, blue tinted shades and a golden necklace with a cross on the end. Physically, he is of standard height, with broad shoulders and quite muscular arms

Bio: Deemer was born in Washington, D.C. to a middle class couple. His childhood was anything but fun, with both of his parents being very strict and constantly pressuring him to be a model student, despite Deemer's little interest in studies and his wish to practice a sport or become a writer. When he was told that he would enter the St. Beleth Highschool, he was thrilled at the prospect of not seeing his parents for most of the year. That's about as much as needs to be told. He excels in literature and mythology and is interested in the occult, mostly because he can use it as inspiration for writing. He has also practices a few martial arts

Personality: Having had a rough childhood, he is normally reluctant to speak to people he doesn't know, and can come across as extremely serious and cold, though he is much more open, friendly even, to those who get to know him. Also, once he is fired up and ready for a fight, there's no reasoning with him, he will charge straight at the enemy

Equipment:
Leather gloves: A pair of black, fingerless leather gloves, they protect Deemer's hand from damage when he punches

Swiss Army Knife: Small utility knife purchasable anywhere in the world. This one comes with a screwdiver, can opener, bottle opener a hook and a pair of pliers, aside from the main blade. A gift from a friend, it isn't really a combat effective weapon, but can be used if the situation requires so.

Skills:
Great physical strength: Deemer packs a mean punch (of course, within the limits of a 16 year old) and is quite capable of doing things that require a large amount of muscle

Martial Arts: Deemer has practiced taekwondo and currently practices boxing, which means he knows how to punch and kick well, and he knows where to hit his enemies

Weaknesses of any kind:
Poor speed and clumsiness: For all his strength, Deemer is quite slow and clumsy. He often trips with his own feet and runs slower than normal.

Author's notes: I created this RP from an idea my cousin pitched while playing Silent Hill: The Room. He considered survival horrors to be kinda limited in choices as to what a character could do. He wanted a survival horror game where the main characters were teens, since that's the public those games are aimed at, and that it should have dozens of options on each situation, so I thought, why not an RP?

This looks fun, how about I join in?

Name:Eliza Lynnette Underwood

Age: 15

Appearence: Eliza has long, light brown hair which she keeps in a ponytail, except for a few stray strands around her bangs. She has a few grease smudges on her otherwise, fair, pale skin. She wears a black bandanna tied around the top of her head, wears a sleeveless lime green sweatshirt, olive green cargo pants, fingerless brown gloves, and black combat boots. She has a slender frame, and is quite short, and has soulful brown eyes flecked with gold.

Bio: Eliza was born and raised in Alaska, to an automechanic and a technology professor, (is there even those in real life?) Eliza had a nice childhood, and showed an early apiutide for technology, but seemed hate going outside. (I can't think of anymore for a background, so just fill in the blanks.

Personality: Warm, kind and helpful, Eliza is nonetheless manipulative and deceitful if it can help her friends.

Equipment: A walking stick, a Superball, a few paperclips, and random junk,

Skills: She can fix almost any kind of technology, as she seems to just know how things work, and she's a bit of a jack-of-all trades, but worse at many things.

Weaknesses of any kind: She's frail, can't take a hit, and a bit slow.

(Okay, it isn't very good. Sue me, I have a headache.)

Actually, it's great. A lot of detail is not really needed. I just like to be detailed

Name: Zack Ambergrin

Age: 15

Appearance: Zack is about five-and-a-half feet tall, of fairly slight build and pale complexion. His thick brown hair is kept in a neat buzz-cut year-round. His left ear is pierced four times, with a diamond stud in the lobe and three gold rings in the other three holes. His legs are the only muscular parts of his body, with incredible thighs and calves. He typically wears an American Eagle sweatshirt over a short-sleeve shirt, with long jeans and standard issue tennis shoes. His two accessories of note are his black leather collar, which consists of the leather strap with three rings in the front, and a black onyx spike that he wears on a gold chain around his neck.

Bio: Zack grew up constantly encouraged by his parents to try new things. As such, he is an incredible singer, dancer and actor, and is a member of the school choir and Drama Club. He also took an interest in fencing, and is a valued member of the school fencing team. He is the older of two, with his little brother being four years his junior. Despite the early childhood encouragement from his parents, his relationship with them has soured of late. He despises his father, whom he views as an overbearing, controlling, aggressive bully. His mother simply tires him, her being either an excitable nuisance or an impatient annoyance. He welcomes his studies at school, able to avoid them for the majority of the year.

Personality: Zack is a cheerful gay, and largely effeminate. He has the patience of a saint, and is very slow to anger. He gets easily frustrated with people, but there is a HUGE line between anger and frustration. He believes unfailingly in the supernatural, and is terrified of anything that is supernatural and hostile. He skittish at best, a terrified wreck at worst. At the same time, he is fiercely loyal to his friends, and can be brave when he needs to be.

Equipment:
Fencing gear (underarm guard, fencing pads, helmet, and glove).
Foil, Epee, and Saber: All standard fencing swords. If the blunts are removed from the tips, they can be deadly if pushed in the right places.

Skills:
Prediction: Zack is very skilled at predicting his opponents' movements an instant before they happen. Therefore he is efficient at dodging or parrying attacks against him.
Simple Acrobatics: Zack's lessons in gymnastics allow him to perform simple acrobatic feats, such as back handsprings or simple flips. He applies to his bladework and footwork, enabling him to perform interesting attacks and feints.

Weaknesses of any kind: Zack is very physically frail when it comes down to it. While he has great physical stamina, he has very little actual strength. Aside from his legs, his arms are comparatively weak, and has very little tolerance for pain.

Name:Jason Steamer
Age:17
Appearence:blonde hair, green eyes, about ten pounds over weight, 5'10, broad nose
Bio:He had a child hood that was very good. Except for some child abuse from a break in, he has lead a normal life. He behaved in school, both Elementary and in Junior High. Often he got good grades, but he got negative reports on rare occasions.
Personality:He is shy and is self-loathing. Due to the sexual assault at a young age, he has hidden fears and is afraid of women. He is introverted, in a sense that he doesn't get out of the house much, but he does make friends.
Equipment:Fascinated with LARP and role playing, he knows how to wield swords, and is skilled (for his age). He's not an expert, but he has natural talent.
Skills:
swordsmanship
photographic memory(That is to say, very sharp, disciplined memory)
tactical skill
high fortitude(iron constitution)

Weaknesses of any kind:
psychologically vulnerable(He was raped as a child. So something that could attack him at that angle could cause him to go insane)

Name: Marco West
Age:17
Appearence: 6'1 about 180 pounds grey eyes and black hair
Bio: Born in Fairfield County, Marco was sent to St Beleth after his laziness had affected his grades enough.
Personality: Generally happy, he tends not to do much school work unless interests him or he absolutely has to. He has many friends at school but few close ones due to his inability to truely trust anyone.
Equipment: Laptop (has general acsess points so it can connect to anywhere in the school as well as wifi) GPS system
Skills: Computer Skill: Extremly skilled with computers, able to not only get information off of them but able to manipulate them to a certain degree. (more or less useless with other technology)
Decent Fighter:Also he can fight about as well as any untrained 17 year old can due to his size
Weaknesses: Marco is not only amazingly stubborn, his laziness borders on apathy, unless what is ever going on around him is affecting him right now.

His inabilty to trust also causes him to not listen to others and do everything his way regardless of the consequences

The bios are all good, though a few things in Marinan's bother me a bit.

When you say "High fortitude (Iron Constitution)", you mean within the limits of a seventeen year old, right?

I'd like to see some more detail on your abilities, please?

Say, Marinan is very very tough. To the very limit one can be his age. He isn't like a Marine or anything though.

Hmm, okay, then I guess your bio's fine. Maybe you could tone down that photographic memory thing, to something like very good memory. Not really needed, but I just don't like how that sounds.

Also, do you guys think we should start, or should we wait for some more people?

Name: John C. Quinn
Age: 16
Appearence: Pale skin, Red hair, 5'7 and blue eyes
Bio: Born in Cork city, Ireland he was sent to St. Beleths as part of the states foreign exchange program. Little else is known about him.
Personality: Creepy. The kind of guy who, when he smiles at you the only thing you want to do is turn and run. He has a sick mind and because of his high intelligence he can play on peoples fears with great effect. He is also, appearently, fearless which was discovered when one of the students at the school threatened him with a knife (after he convinced him that the guy who murdered his family was after him now. Long story). He merely laughed and said "Go ahead buddy, if you want too. If not let me go." He scores top marks in chemistry, due to the fact that he loves poisons of all kinds. As you may have guessed he doesn't make friends easily.
Equipment: Knife, various toxins and a little notebook and pen, which rumors say contains the weaknesses and fears of everyone on campus (including the teachers).
Skills: He is very good with a knife and of course theres his deadly little bag poisons he carries everywhere.
Weaknesses: He is not very strong and has an inflated sense of invulnerability which often leads to reckless behaviour.

Good?
