My sisters horse stables RP that sorta ties in with this RP in some ways, if you feel like having your characters in this RP go to the stables sometimes. Or if you just want to make characters specifically for that RP, that works, too. They're both in Aspen, Colorado
So, the basic concept of this is the standard high school-like RP I am sure you guys have all seen many different incarnations of on this forum repeatedly. Be it a school full of students who can turn into beasts, like vampires, werewolves, or whatever else people can come up with. Or ones where people are training to be super soldiers, or trying to train their superpowers like you're at an X-Men school, or to be the next great Wizard of Hogwarts. There are so many different types of school RP's on NationStates. So you're all probably thinking "Oh God, not another one", and I do that quite regularly when scrolling through RP sections, so yeah.
This one however I have decided to make more "normal". Now you're all probably thinking "Oh, this sounds boring, I have to deal with school every day!" (If you're of school age). But for one, I have found that RP's like this can sometimes be the best ones for making cool, potentially more normal everyday people, which I find to be some of the most entertaining people to play sometimes, instead of some silly super human or what have you, because you can make some interesting characters that way. For two, I didn't say it would be entirely normal. All I said was that it would be MORE normal. While it may not happen regularly because I suck at coming up with weird ideas, it is known that strange events can occur at this school (And unintentional Game of Thrones line appeared in here).
Which, if any of you know the source material where the name of the school comes from, you can get a general idea of what kind of weird stuff I mean. Also if you know the source material, you deserve a cookie. The source material was a big part of my childhood, along with various other different things (Yes, I had a weird childhood...). But mostly it is about a group of teenagers at a school getting to know each other and such, with weirdness thrown on the side.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that Blake Holsey High is also a boarding school, so all your characters should be coming here to go to school and be boarded at the same time. Everybody gets rooms, though if the school begins to fill up too much (Maybe we can come up with a set amount of space per dorm), you'll have to share a room with others of the same gender as you. Each room can hold up to two people, though a lot of people tend to get rooms to themselves until the school begins to fill up more. The school has a standard school uniform, but they don't really seem to enforce that as a dress code, and is more of an optional uniform for you to wear if you feel like it, since school uniforms can be rather comfortable and nice looking (Or decent, anyway). For the most part, they seem to let you wear whatever the hell you want, though like with any normal school, there are obviously limits to what you should be allowed to wear. Like no walking into school with nothing but a thong, for example, unless you want to have a visit with the principal...And if the stereotypes have anything to say, that isn't a good thing. And yes, despite the fact the source material is pretty much a kids show, we can make it a little bit more of a "Grown up" version of the material (Within forum rules, obviously), more like how actual high school is
The school can have stuff like your typical school clubs, or the school newspaper team or whatever. There is also sports, like basketball, football, baseball, and so on, and teams you can join for said sports. It may not really look like a school that would have that kind of stuff, but we can just pretend it does anyway for RP's sake. I'd say it is probably a pretty big school, so we can fit a lot of different types of stuff into it for the role play to be varied.
The location decided for the school itself has been decided to be Aspen, Colorado, United States. So prepare for beautiful mountain scenery, probably a lot of snow because of the high elevation in the winter months, cold weather at times in the later months if my history of living in South Lake Tahoe, California is anything to go off of for places with high elevation (South Lake Tahoe was 6,000 foot elevation, this is 8,000), and if you're a character used to low elevation areas, possible minor elevation sickness until you get used to it. Should be some fun times ahead!
Oh, and it shall be the first day of school when the RP starts, so you can make it your students first day at the school or whatever you like.

RP Rules
1.Standard "No Godmodding" rule.
2.Be nice to each other. Except in the RP itself, go ahead and be an ass to each other if you like there.
3.What the OP says is the word of God (And any of his little minions), though God is perfectly fine with friendly discussions in disagreement with something God may do.
4.I'd prefer if you actually try and put effort into your posts, in a grammar, punctuation, and length sense. No one-liners (Or one sentence posts). Doesn't have to be super long, but please do make an effort to make a worthwhile post.
Co-Op's:
TriStates
Student applications can pretty much be anyone that fits into high school age (14 to 18?). As far as teachers go, the subjects they can teach can probably just be your typical standard school electives or what have you. I've never actually been to school before so I'm not hugely smart when it comes to how a school actually functions...Jobs, the same for whatever jobs fit for a school beyond teachers
Application format. New, and much better and detailed version brought to you by TriStates, to enhance the feel of your characters greatly.
