Sounds alright. We'll have to figure out a process of claiming those side characters.
We also need to create our own OP and lists which Jon can link to.

Jaslandia wrote:To hopefully re-invigorate this RP, I present to you Nicholas II.
Name: Nicholas Alexandrovich Romanov (Nicholas II)
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Grade: 11
Clubs: Monarchs Club, Religious Studies Club, Russian Club, Model Railroading Club
Sports: Chess, Fencing
Appearance: Tall, lanky man with brown eyes, short brown hair, and a small mustache. He's isn't very athletic. This:(Image)
Personality: A deeply spiritual man, Nicholas is contemplative and thoughtful, in addition to being ceaselessly curious. Nicholas can also be melancholic. However, when Nicholas is around friends, he can 'turn off' his melancholy, and generally act like a regular, fun-loving teen. Nicholas also strives for justice and equality. Nicholas tends to be shy, quiet, and reserved when meeting new people.
Brief History: It was a dark night at Yekaterinburg. The former Tsar of Russia, Nicholas II, and his family were awakened by the family's doctor. "Get dressed and come downstairs," the doctor said. "The Soviets want to relocate you due to the impending chaos in the city." The former royals dutifully complied and went to the bottom floor, gathering together. After a few minutes of waiting in the cellar room, the local Soviet commandant, Yakov Yurovsky, arrived and read out an order: "Nikolai Alexandrovich, in view of the fact that your relatives are continuing their attack on Soviet Russia, the Ural Executive Committee has decided to execute you..."
All Nicholas could say in response was "What? What?" The commandant, growing impatient, read the order again, after which the troops opened fire. Nicholas was hit by several bullets, and came crashing down to the floor, dying instantly.
However, that was not the end of Nicholas II of Russia. He suddenly awoke in a dorm room, having become decades younger. The new Nicholas knew little of himself, but was determined to find the truth.
Headcanons: Nicholas is now a Buddhist.
Due to his philosophical nature, he frequently speaks in parables, riddles, and allegories.
Nicholas has erratic memories of his past, but can regain some memories though mediation.
Nicholas is now a pacifist and a vegetarian.
Other Notes: If any of you are curious, the Model Railroading Club membership is an ironic reference to the fact that Russia's relative lack of railroad infrastructure contributed to Russia's defeat in World War I.

General Introduction
The Machiavelli Academy of Higher Excellence (MAHE) is a boarding school, whose students range from 14 to 20 years old. But, unlike your usual boarding school, its staff are historical figures. And not only them: The students too, are all historical persons, who for unknown reasons became younger, and sometimes even changed their gender.
The 1st of January 2000 was a special date. When the day came, earth continued its rounds, humans continued breathing, and everything was as it had been before. Or was it?
On exactly that day, multiple unusual occurrences have been reported from the tombs of a couple of historical figures. But it rapidly lost attention, as nothing seemed to have happened. Though silent to most of humanity, a few historical figures had returned to life. Amongst them, Machiavelli.
Seeing that Florence was no more, and deciding that the modern republic was not something he wanted to involve in, he went for the US of America. While trying to understand why he had returned, he had heard that America was a land of new beginnings. And so, two years later, somewhere in New England, his new life began. He had managed to organize the establishment of the Machiavelli Academy of Higher Excellences. As teachers he managed to contact other great figures, who had risen from their deaths as he had.
Now, 2014, as with every year, new students have returned to life, and appeared in the Academy.
For students:
You wake up on a bunk-bed. You see you are in a room: Some of you may recognize things from it, some may not. At the other side of the room there are two desks, with each having books (some the same, some different) and school utensils. There also are two cabinets in the room. You may notice that placed on the desks, visible from where you are, are notes.
The note states that you have arrived at the Machiavelli Academy of Higher Excellence. It also mentions that if you'll be at the Gymnasium, the way to which is marked on the hall outside of your room, in two hours, a full explanation will be given by Headmaster Machiavelli.
For staff:
You are a staff member at the Machiavelli Academy of Higher Excellence. Some of you work here longer, with a few working here since Machiavelli founded the Academy, while some of you are new.
Regardless of to whether category you belong to, you are at the Staff Room, where Machiavelli is reintroducing all old and new staff.

Sports: Chess, Fencing, ye old Fútbol
Appearance:(Image)
Personality: He's somewhat emotionless, but from what he usually acts around people, he likes to portray himself as the cool semi-bad-boy of the group, despite his newfound sensitive personality showing otherwise, and yet he still managed to retain just a very small piece of his previous traits. He doesn't seem to care about school and his grades, but not so much as he just doesn't give a damn outright, kind of a balance of things. ("I got a C? Great, as long as I'm passing, who cares?")The concept of a new life has changed his perceptions quite a bit. Back when he was a leader, he was as ruthless as he was hot-headed, now he's pretty much easygoing and has become philosophical in nature. So overall, he's pretty passive, but can become violently assertive just like everyone else.
Brief History: Those damned Hungarians, how could they put him in that position and leave just like that? What kind of allies would do that to him, the cruelest, most inhumane leader in Wallachian history? He barely has enough troops to siege a town and the Turks are bringing with them a metropolis' worth. Thinking back, it was perhaps not the wisest of things to have impaled all those merchants, women, and insubordinate soldiers along with burning that village that couldn't provide any shortly before the conflict started.
Needless to say, when the battle began, he clearly was going to die, despite having put up the best fight his army possibly could. The last thing he ever saw in this world was a battlefield flooded with blood and a massive amount of human corpses, almost all of them from his own army. The noise of all of the violence was beginning to fall silent. All of his senses were shutting down as he became increasingly sleepy. The last he remembers is someone from the opposing army shouting:
"I got him, I got him! Quick, cut off his head!"
And a large group of them had gathered around him, with their swords waving victoriously high in the air, as he closed his eyes for the last time.
Strangely, he woke up here, in the modern world, as it is apparently called. He looked around for scars and rags, blood and bruises, any indicator that he is still in battle, but found nothing.
That's when he realized that perhaps he was given a second chance at life, and he intends to make up for the lost time in his previous one somehow.
Headcanons: In addition to speaking English, he can also speak his native Romanian, and is able to read Latin (though he can barely speak it). Unlike Catherine, his memories before death are still fully intact, but how he got from there to here he has no idea. He's a relatively good poet and has a fondness for classical literature.
Other Notes: Because he was directly responsible for tens of thousands of deaths, the sight of blood and gore or any other kind of violence doesn't really surprise him like most people, though he'll still react to it, naturally.

Yes, I'm pretty sure all students will attend classes. The schedule of each student is still being worked out, but it would seem pretty pointless to have a boarding school where not all students attend school.
