Uldartre academy: foreign student visits (year 2, ooc, open)

Postby The greater Vakolicci Haven » Mon Jan 26, 2015 1:02 am

ULDARTRE ACADEMY
Foreign Student Visits
IC thread
Background:
The Uldartre Academy (officially the Uldartre Academy for the Education of Future Minds) was founded by Dr. Henrius Uldartre's 'Future Minds Foundation,' following the gift of a former royal summer residence in 1843. It's mission statement was, and still remains simple: to educate those students who would go on to lead Celeria, The Greater Vakolicci Haven or even the world in whatever fields they chose: be it science, sport, arts, linguistics or a host of more specialised subjects the school was set up to teach.

By 1870, Uldartre Academy was known as the most prestigious academy of learning in the entirety of the Haven, and had outgrown the enitial pallace, erecting 5 large academic buildings in its spacious grounds which are still used today. It's costs went up, and its entrence examination became more stringent, until it could finally atract the Haven's best young minds. Importantly, it was the first school to offer schollarships to disadvantaged, but brilliant, children from less well-off families. By 1925, schools around the world were using the 'Uldartre system' of individually-taylored learning, small class sizes, a specialised program of study and some of the greatest minds to educate the students.

In 2011, highly-educated Teacher Dr. Miro Dirali was elected headteacher by staff and senior students after the deathe retirement of his predecessor. Derali came to the school with new ideas, and began to give the students a greater say in the running of the academy. One of his most ambitious schemes to date, however, has been the highly-successful foreign exchange scheme he began in 2013. This scheme allowed a small number of students to bypass the usually stringent examination system and join the academy for a year, regardless of academic prowess. Though this was cancelled for 2014 due to political hostilities, the foreign exchange scheme has been replaced due to popular demand for the 2015 academic year.

info:

This is Uldartre Academy a school situated close to the Western Celari city of Roma. It is set within what was once a Royal residence, and retains its grandure, including within its confines a large boating lake, top-of-the range sporting facilities, university-grade science and technology laboratories, the palaces original 17th century theatre, as well as a large amount of recreation and social spaces for students including restaurants and fully-stocked bars. Students will be housed in the 17th-century palace itself, and the feeling of luxury is still retained. Slaves and servants are on call 24-hours a day to attend to students every need, and the food is cooked to the highest culinary professional standards. The students are not separated based on age or gender, and although most students choose to have a single room, it is possible to choose to share a room with another student of either gender. This request can be made upon arrival or at any point during the student's stay.

Uldartre Academy is pleased to announce that our previous policy of having the exchange program stay entirely student-led will stay in force, with a group of 4 or 5 students (depending on final numbers of exchange students) leading all events. Uldartre will endeavour to link the makeup of this group to the average age of exchange students and to the gender makeup of the group, however due to student's own personal preferernces we cannot assure you that this will be the case.

All exchange students will be entering through Roma City airport, terminal 3. If standard air services are not usually provided from any applying nation, for a nominal fee air services can be arranged by Uldartre Academy and our sponsoring Clans. Students shall be driven to the academy by school staff, where they will meet with their fellow exchange students, as well as their student guides, outside the main palace entrence. Students will complete a years standard education at Uldartre academy, after sitting the academic selection test to judge where the most suitable classes will be. Of course, individual subjects are soley the decision of the student, and the academic selection test will judge merely which classes in particular subjects a student should attend.

I shall be keeping this application period open for 2 weeks before I plan on starting the IC thread. If their are a lot of applications within this time, I may think about keeping it open longer (with consultation with the rest of the participants on the thread.) You may sign up as many students as you wish, although only 1 staff member.

So, all it is left for me to say is: let the madness begin!

Oh, and in case you're brave, and want to see what happened back in 2013, we didn't get to the end, people had fights, our brains got ripped apart by the scale of human depravity, and everyone struggled to think of how more insane they could get.

Nation name: People's Republic of Divitaen
Students name: Sévérine Loiselle
Age and date of birth: 23 April 2000 (15)
Appearance (detailed description highly preferable): A medium-haired blonde girl with a height of around 160 cm, hazel eyes with long eyelashes and pronounced cheekbones. Average build and slightly on the thin side, and often wears a sheath cocktail dress with a round neckline, and a pair of stiletto pumps.
Personality: Studious and hard-working, concerned about dignity and appearances, individualist streak and highly-opinionated, socially-concerned and offended by perceived injustice/prejudice, pacifistic and avoids conflict
Brief biography (optional): Sévérine Loiselle was born in the year 2000 during the years of the Kingdom of Divitaen, an absolute conservative monarchy. Her father was a professor at the University of Auxiliora who published a series of dissident tracts, while her mother was a social activist with a prominent feminist organisation. She was raised under a same-sex relationship with her father and his partner after her parents' divorce in 2005. She went to school at the Lacertus Academy from age 7 onwards until the present day. At age 12, she became educated and involved in student groups that participated in the Liberal Reformation period that resulted in the dissolution of the monarchy and the institution of a liberal, intellectual-driven autocracy, of which her father, Jean-Henri Loiselle, was the Minister of Law, instituting a series of poverty-reducing, civil rights and social equality reforms. At age 14, she was sent over to study in the Uldartre academy as part of a Divitaen foreign affairs campaign.
Cultural details: Divitaen culture is extremely individualistic and focussed on personal self-actualisation and civil liberties. While there is a focus on personal expression, this is also tied with an element of altruism and social community, where citizens are inculcated with values of tolerance, equality and social consciousness. Religion exists only nominally and often supports extremely liberal principles, and basic values in Divitaen include pacifism, non-violence, intellectual elitism and support for equality for minorities and the disadvantaged. Social norms are constantly challenged through intellectual revolution and reformation, and there is a belief in Divitaen society that socio-cultural inertia is the same as ignorance and laziness.

Nation name: Saintland

Students name: Maria Septimius

Age and date of birth: April 27th (15 years old)

Appearance (detailed description highly preferable): Maria is of average height for her age and is in excellent physical condition like virtually all Sanctii youth. If she wore more worldly clothing, she'd be regarded as extremely beautiful, but she is a Sanctii citizen and a devout member of the True Church of Iesus Christus and dresses accordingly. She wears the head covering that is required by her faith and, as is typical of Sanctii youth, does not own any clothing other than the uniform of her school in Saintland. Women's fashion in Saintland has been virtually unchanged since the medieval period and even the uniform of a Sanctii girl bears more resemblance to medieval styles than any more modern style of clothing. Per Church teaching, she does not wear any makeup or jewelry and does not paint her nails. All of these things are forbidden by the Church and Maria would never violate Church teaching.

Personality: Maria is a typical Sanctii girl. She is pleasant to be around, nice to everybody and always thinks of other people's needs and wants before her own. She is usually extremely agreeable and willing to go along with peer pressure, unless she is being asked to do something contrary to the teachings of her faith.

Brief biography (optional): Maria Septimius was born into a noble family in Saintland. While the Sanctii nobility have gradually lost most and their power and influence over the past few centuries as the royal family has concentrated more power in their hands, Maria's father was a childhood friend of the late King Paulus XV, securing a spot for his family among the Sanctii elite. In Saintland, Maria is a student at the prestigious Maria Virgine school, which is a school for the daughters of the Sanctii elite and is considered one of the better students in her class. Recently, the powers that be in Saintland decided that it was in their interest to send some Sanctii girls abroad to counter misconceptions regarding the Church's treatment of women. Maria was suggested as a candidate and her father, reluctantly, agreed to allow her into the program. Had he known that she would be sent to the notorious Uldartre Academy on a mission to persuade the Vakolicci elite to stay out of Sanctii affairs, he likely wouldn't have agreed. The stories that Andreas Fadius had told about the horrors of Uldartre were now common knowledge among the Sanctii elite and Mr. Septimius wasn't exactly pleased, either, with the behavior of the Vakolicci delegation to the King Paulus XV Memorial Games. Still, there was nothing he could do about it, even if he found out where his daughter would be headed.

Cultural details: Saintland is an island kingdom of around 600 thousand, located in the polar section of Rushmore. Sanctii society is still culturally medieval, for the most part and the teachings of the Church are much more conservative than those of the Catholic and Orthodox churches. Until a change of policy by King Petrus XX, Sanctii women and girls were not permitted to leave the Kingdom unaccompanied. Even now, they require special permission to leave, unless accompanied by an adult male relative. In economic terms, Sanctii society is relatively socialistic, with most enterprises being owned by the royal family rather than private owners. What few private businesses there are in Saintland are heavily regulated by the government, which has laws and regulations covering almost everything. What isn't under the jurisdiction of the government is probably under the jurisdiction of the Church, which is virtually indistinguishable from the Sanctii government, even though it is, technically, run independently by the Patriarch of St. Petrus. While non-citizens are exempt from some Sanctii laws, even the lives of non-citizens are much more heavily controlled in Saintland than they would be in almost any other nation.

Nation name: Empire of Imperialisium
Students name: Valyria Aemilia va Thunraz
Age and date of birth: 16
Appearance (detailed description highly preferable):
Image


Height: 5ft 8
Weight: Never ask a girl her weight but she is athletic build

Personality: Calm and collect. Passive-Aggressive to those she does not truly like. Loyal to friends and allies.
Brief biography (optional):
Valyria was born the daughter of Emperor Ragnarr Silvershield, his only child and heir to The Holy Empire of Germania. Being of Royal birth she was destined for an illustriously expensive education. Uldartre Academy seemed the likely location, the Emperor himself having attended for a semester as an exchange student in the past.

Valyria was born in Heiligenschloss, the family estate in Austrasia. One of the family's ancestral holdings that overlooked the beautiful alpine landscape of Oberheiligensee. She was in her extreme youth a very gregarious young girl. often spending long hours wandering through the woodlands, ponds, lakes, and streams. Even at times without an escort, on many occasions the Reichsgaard having to comb the surrounding countryside so she'd be home for supper.

As she got older Valyria went through several ordeals that transformed her out going personality into a more reserved intellect. The first was the death of her mother Lausanne in a car accident at the age of 11. Followed by the murder of her friend Bergit by a rebel group that was viciously put down by her father. She remembered several beheading quite vividly. These realities snapped her out of adolescence before it had any right to do so.

So when she was sent to Uldartre Academy and away from the golden standards of her father she simply replied, "So be it." For to her this was but another ordeal she'd have to endure. Her only yearning is the Crown, and perhaps a warm embrace by someone waiting to take her heart. Though, she knows fairy tales never come true.

Cultural details: She is a Valkuran (Homo Valkia Sapiens) Human, and thus can consume the blood of other primates for sustenance. Blood drinking is a right of passage in her homeland and matches their retractable canines that had evolved into place over generations. As such many cultural norms revolving around being bitten have come about. Such that being bitten by a woman is a sign of affection or marking her territory by some satirical observers.

Valkurans also traditionally (though this is now seldom) carry some form of weapon. A traditional weapon (almost always a sword) that often has family significance or heritage about it. Others have received it for service to the state and therefore are called Honored Blades. Valyria has her own called Frost. A white and silver blade etched with golden runes upon a bronze hilt with a ruby at the pommel. Black leather forms the handle. A gift from her father and a family heirloom.


Any other information you believe is relevant:
Valkurans of the Germanian Empire can also see in the dark. As they originated in the freezing wintry lands of the northern stretches of the realm, and thus their eyes have a silvery film that reflects light.

Valyria also possesses a Draegr, or Dragon named Falknir. Falknir is six feet tall and capable of flight, and intelligent. The Draegr being culturally prevalent in Valkuran history as companions and loyal to their masters. Capable of being highly docile and friendly to humans.

Although, this is only the second year that Uldartre has accepted exchange students. However, he could have attended as a student, as Uldartre has always accepted foreign students.

She was in her extreme youth a very gregarious young girl. often spending long hours wandering through the woodlands, ponds, lakes, and streams. Even at times without an escort, on many occasions the Reichsgaard having to comb the surrounding countryside so she'd be home for supper.

As she got older Valyria went through several ordeals that transformed her out going personality into a more reserved intellect. The first was the death of her mother Lausanne in a car accident at the age of 11. Followed by the murder of her friend Bergit by a rebel group that was viciously put down by her father. She remembered several beheading quite vividly. These realities snapped her out of adolescence before it had any right to do so.

So when she was sent to Uldartre Academy and away from the golden standards of her father she simply replied, "So be it." For to her this was but another ordeal she'd have to endure. Her only yearning is the Crown, and perhaps a warm embrace by someone waiting to take her heart. Though, she knows fairy tales never come true.

Cultural details: She is a Valkuran (Homo Valkia Sapiens) Human, and thus can consume the blood of other primates for sustenance. Blood drinking is a right of passage in her homeland and matches their retractable canines that had evolved into place over generations. As such many cultural norms revolving around being bitten have come about. Such that being bitten by a woman is a sign of affection or marking her territory by some satirical observers.

Valkurans also traditionally (though this is now seldom) carry some form of weapon. A traditional weapon (almost always a sword) that often has family significance or heritage about it. Others have received it for service to the state and therefore are called Honored Blades. Valyria has her own called Frost. A white and silver blade etched with golden runes upon a bronze hilt with a ruby at the pommel. Black leather forms the handle. A gift from her father and a family heirloom.


Any other information you believe is relevant:
Valkurans of the Germanian Empire can also see in the dark. As they originated in the freezing wintry lands of the northern stretches of the realm, and thus their eyes have a silvery film that reflects light.

Valyria also possesses a Draegr, or Dragon named Falknir. Falknir is six feet tall and capable of flight, and intelligent. The Draegr being culturally prevalent in Valkuran history as companions and loyal to their masters. Capable of being highly docile and friendly to humans.

Accepted.
Although, this is only the second year that Uldartre has accepted exchange students. However, he could have attended as a student, as Uldartre has always accepted foreign students.

I'll fix that little error.

Nation name: The United Arab Emirates of KwaDai
Students name: Mewan al Zayed
Age and date of birth: 16 (22nd January 1999)
Appearance (detailed description highly preferable): Mewan is reasonably tall. He is of slim build and has tanned smooth skin. Mewan is extremely handsome with soft brown hair and dark brown eyes. He is always well dressed preferring to stick to close fitting and neat clothes generally not overly bright in colour but not quite dull either as typical of KwaDaian youths.

Personality: Mewan is a fun loving, open minded yet studious. He can be a little reserved at first but opens out very quickly when he gets to know a person. He is quick to let someone know when he is annoyed.

Brief biography (optional): A native of KwaDai's capital Tripoli he grew up in the Abu Kammash waterfront development outside the city which at the time of his birth was isolated from the main city but today is part of its metropolitan area. Made up of canals and shaded gardens it is an ideal place to have grown up. For the last four years he has been attending Tripoli's most prestigious high school, The Imperial School of Madinat al Ka'ban. Against his friends' advice Mewan agreed to go as a student to Vakolicci. He is aware of the countries less savoury customs, but is willing to jump in head first and experience it and to be more particular, experience life in a way that he could never dream of having home in KwaDai.

Cultural details: KwaDai is a large Muslim nation south of the KwaDaian Sea in the region of The United Empire of Islam with liberal and slightly conservative policies. This however is not reflected in its population who are generally very tolerant and open minded people. The country is a semi constitutional monarchy ruled over by Sheikh Ahmed bin Jur al Amman and the KwaDaian Government who impose laws not strongly linked to Islamic Sharia Law allowing its citizens more freedom than in other Muslim majority countries.

Any other information you believe is relevant: None currently.

Icecream is unlimited. You're being funded by about a billion Dral.
