I've decided to drop this RP, I just don't care enough to do it. Anybody else is free to take my Clausewitz character.
it is my firm belief that I should never have to justify my beliefs.

Alright I re-edited my app. and 'ere you go. Also, I decided to make him already a teacher in MAHE that got accepted early in the academy.


NS Name: Slavsnik
Name: Gajah Mada

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Class: Social Studies and Geography; He would like to be the Teacher adviser of the Military Strategy and Tactics Club if that's fine, if not then it would be fine.

Appearance: He is a tall individual, about 181 cm with black hair and a very strong build. He has light skin for an indonesian, say very light / pale brown. Like a typical Indonesian he has brown eyes.
Image


Personality: Gajah Mada, like in his past, has a collected, cunning and wise demeanor,befitting that of a Prime Minister and War general, he's also a tolerant man, being a buddhist in a Hindu Kingdom. He is mostly easy going after his sudden resurrection thanks to restudying the world with the help of the government.

Brief History: Gajah Mada (translated as Elephant General) (circa 1290 – circa 1364) was a powerful military leader and mahapatih or prime minister of the Majapahit Empire, credited with bringing the empire to its peak of glory. He delivered an oath called Sumpah Palapa, in which he vowed not to eat any food containing spices until he had conquered all of the Southeast Asian archipelago of Nusantara for Majapahit (In which he actually succeeded). In modern Indonesia, he serves as an important national hero and a symbol of patriotism. In 1357, the only remaining state refusing to acknowledge Majapahit's hegemony was Sunda, in West Java, bordering the Majapahit Empire. King Hayam Wuruk intended to marry Dyah Pitaloka Citraresmi, a princess of Sunda and the daughter of Sunda's king. Gajah Mada was given the task to go to the Bubat square on northern part of Trowulan to welcome the princess as she arrived with her father and escort to Majapahit palace.Gajah Mada took this opportunity to demand Sunda submission under Majapahit rule. While the Sunda King thought that the royal marriage was a sign of a new alliance between Sunda and Majapahit, Gajah Mada thought otherwise. He stated that the Princess of Sunda is not to be hailed as the new queen consort of Majapahit, but merely as a concubine, as a sign of submission of Sunda to Majapahit. This misunderstanding led to embarrassment and hostility, which quickly rose into a skirmish and the full scale Battle of Bubat. The Sunda King with all of his guards and royal party were overwhelmed by Majapahit troops and subsequently killed in the field of Bubat. Tradition mentioned that the heartbroken princess, Dyah Pitaloka Citraresmi, committed suicide. Hayam Wuruk was deeply shocked about the tragedy. Majapahit courtiers, ministers and nobles blamed Gajah Mada for his recklesness, and the brutal consequences were not to the taste of the Majapahit royal family. Gajah Mada was promptly demoted and spent the rest of his days at the estate of Madakaripura in Probolinggo in East Java.

He awoke in 2001, confused and not knowing of what was happening, not remembering anything that had happened passed his death in exile and obscurity after the Bubat Incident. At first he was shocked and worried, though after a while he became acustomed to the modern world and decided to start a new. He was shocked when he first awoke and was confused until he was helped by the Indonesian government (who kept his existence alive). Later, he was accepted to be the Geography and Social studies teacher of MAHE by Headmaster Nicollo thanks to connections from the government, when they heard of the new academy.


Headcanons: He's grown used to the modern world, yet retains most of his individuality from before. He's also gained many new knowledge about the current world and is even an avid supporter of Samsung products.

Other notes: He would probbably be my main character.

Name: John D. Rockefeller

Age: 56

Gender: Male

Sexual Orientation: Straight

Class: I don't know. Seems like you were low on teachers so I chose that. I actually am pretty good with Law and/or Business so if one of those could be a class that'd be great. If not where ever you need me.

Appearance:
Image


Brief History: One of the wealthiest men to every live. John D. Rockefeller helped found the Standard Oil company and became an iconic business magnate. Through shrewd dealing, superb business acumen and revolutionizing the oil industry, Rockefeller was able to make Standard Oil a reigning monopoly for many years. The company was eventually broken up in many recognizable companies today such as Exxon Mobil, Shell and Chevron. All of them oil titans in their own right.

Personality: stoic, shrewd, logical, puritanical, intelligent, ruthless, philathropist, capitalist

John would not have gotten to wear he was without being a no nonsense man. He is ruthless with his business strategy. Using all available means to gain the upperhand over the competition and absorb them into his oil empire.

I'm not sure if it would be to great if 90% of the students are in the student council. Maybe only the senior ones... but that's just my opininon. And I probably would make a female student with the idea of a cheerleading squad. Every school needs a cheerleading squad...

If I change my mind on Medvedev, I'll reserve Niyazov. Since I sorta want Putin x Medvedev XD

As said, due to me not wanting to give single rpers control of "cliques" the multiple characters one may have, have to be from different contexts. So Putin and Medvedev would not work. Though either of those with Niyazov should be ok.

Before I give any commentary about the app itself, I have to say I'm unsure of how fitting this character is. I mean, this will mostly be focusing on Political and Military leaders, as evident by the characters and reservations.
I'm not sure I'd deny it only based on that, but I thought I might want to mention these thoughts here. /EDIT

EDIT2: Exempting currently existing apps, or already mentioned characters, I'm thinking of maybe closing the apps for teachers until we get a few more students, considering the teachers now are more than half of the students.
Opinions?

I guess I could make another character or two. Originally, I was indecisive about the three I had in mind, but I chose Catherine seeing as she would likely be the easiest of the 3 to RP as. :p

A definite no!
I sure won't force anybody to take on more than they think they can handle. Heck, I'm not even sure I completely endorse people taking two characters - though am letting people do it due to:
A) I'm doing it (Of course, I have a reason, as due to being OP I'd like to have some grip on the management of this - but that doesn't really matter, I have two characters, that's the point)
B)The original versions had it.
C)If I think the person can do it, and they provided a fitting app, why the hell shouldn't they.
But, nonetheless, even though, in the OP, I claimed this isn't a democracy, I won't force anybody to anything - except to adhering the rules, of course.

EDIT: Sorry if this seems slightly radical and/or angry, not quite my intention.

I understand the focus of the RP. Just wanted to do something different. Plus, business leaders from the 20th century up are just as political as politicians and military figures. If not more so, especially in the case of Rockefeller. I'd like to request my app still be accepted regardless. I can make him a student instead if the classes I want to teach are not in line with what you had in mind for the curriculum. Although they really should be. Law and Business these days are just as if not more applicable than political science, philosophy and military studies. Decisions made on Wall Street have just as much impact on world events as decisions made in the White House, Congress or the Pentagon.

If my opinion can be of any help: Rockefeller was just as much of a leader as some of the people we have so far. Not to be rude, but Rockefeller is more significant than the John Hepburn character we have already accepted. Hepburn is a scottish soldier who fought for Sweden and France... not exactly a Class A leader. He didn't create anything, he simply was there.

Rockefeller is studied in history classes, business classes, and law classes. I had no idea who John Hepburn was until I saw a name posted on this thread.

Seeing as how it's allowed and the fact that I want to balance up the gender ratio, I want to introduce a new female student.


Name: Elizabeth Tudor

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Grade: 10th

Clubs: Drama and Literature Club

Sports: Would like to have a cheerleading squad.

Appearance: Elizabeth is a pretty girl in her teens. Like her father Henry VIII, she has long red/ginger hair that she keeps tied up in a ponytail. She also has brown eyes. Her skin is of fair complex and her stature is quite small.
Image


Personality: Elizabeth is a well spoken young lady with good manners befitting that of a princess. Ever since she awoke, she became more relaxed and cheerful with the stress of living in her era relieved from her. Although, she still is a bit of a short-tempered girl, a trait she inherited from her father. All in all, she's a kind, smart, and shrewd girl and has a deep fondness for music, art, and literature. She keeps a minor dislike for Catholics due to her experiences in her reign as a protestant queen.

Brief History: The Queen led a life worthy of a monarch with it's many shares of hardship. Ushering England into an era of arts, culture and literature named after her. Her Government Policies were all great ones, reforming England into a superpower. The Virgin Queen of England was one of the greates monarchs England ever had. Now she was ready to die. She felt it was her time after experiencing the various deaths of her closest friends. Finally, she died on 24 March 1603 at Richmond Palace, between two and three in the morning.

However, she had awoke and opened her eyes. She found herself in a bedroom with a window besides the bed. From there she could see the MAHE. She felt dizzy. When she got up, she walked passed a mirror. She saw herself in a younger more beautiful body wearing modest pajamas. When she openned the wardrobe, she could see it was filled with school uniforms. She quickly cleaned herself and donned a uniform and exited the dorm room.


Headcanons: The queen speaks English with a RP accent, along with French. She has shown a great liking towards modern music, usually listening to it from a set of headphones she has, though she usually only wears those in her free time or when she's trying to relax. She also loves movies, her favourite genre being Action, and her favourite movies being Pirate films and ones about herself.

Other Notes: I'm going to test out my compatibility with this character.

I just finished reading the IC of the Hammurabi Academy and I have to admit it was a very interesting and fun read. I really enjoyed myself and couldn't help but have a giggle reading about the various interactions between the characters (The most fun was the chemistry between Napoleon and Joan and Georgia, and the conversation between Lincoln and Cyra). Why did it end so quickly? I really wanted to read more.

Yes, thanks for the input guys. I stand by my application and hope you accept it. Made some edits.

Name: John D. Rockefeller

Age: 48

Gender: Male

Sexual Orientation: Straight

Class: I don't know. Seems like you were low on teachers so I chose that. I actually am pretty good with Law and/or Business so if one of those could be a class that'd be great. Business would probably be best because I only know American and English law. It would be impartial due to having characters from so many cultures.

Appearance:
Image


Brief History: Arguably the wealthiest man to every live. John D. Rockefeller helped found the Standard Oil company and became an iconic business magnate. Through shrewd dealing, superb business acumen and revolutionizing the oil industry, Rockefeller was able to make Standard Oil a reigning monopoly for many years. The company was eventually broken up in many recognizable companies today such as Exxon Mobil, Shell and Chevron. All of them oil titans in their own right.

Personality: stoic, shrewd, logical, puritanical, intelligent, ruthless, philathropist, capitalist

John would not have gotten to wear he was without being a no nonsense man. He is ruthless with his business strategy. Using all available means to gain the upperhand over the competition and absorb them into his oil empire.

A) I'm doing it (Of course, I have a reason, as due to being OP I'd like to have some grip on the management of this - but that doesn't really matter, I have two characters, that's the point)
B)The original versions had it.
C)If I think the person can do it, and they provided a fitting app, why the hell shouldn't they.
But, nonetheless, even though, in the OP, I claimed this isn't a democracy, I won't force anybody to anything - except to adhering the rules, of course.

EDIT: Sorry if this seems slightly radical and/or angry, not quite my intention.


Got it. Free will it is. :)

Yeah. This isn't a Democracy, but we do have freedom of certain choices.

I understand the focus of the RP. Just wanted to do something different. Plus, business leaders from the 20th century up are just as political as politicians and military figures. If not more so, especially in the case of Rockefeller. I'd like to request my app still be accepted regardless. I can make him a student instead if the classes I want to teach are not in line with what you had in mind for the curriculum. Although they really should be. Law and Business these days are just as if not more applicable than political science, philosophy and military studies. Decisions made on Wall Street have just as much impact on world events as decisions made in the White House, Congress or the Pentagon.

I suppose that does make sense.

If my opinion can be of any help: Rockefeller was just as much of a leader as some of the people we have so far. Not to be rude, but Rockefeller is more significant than the John Hepburn character we have already accepted. Hepburn is a scottish soldier who fought for Sweden and France... not exactly a Class A leader. He didn't create anything, he simply was there.

Rockefeller is studied in history classes, business classes, and law classes. I had no idea who John Hepburn was until I saw a name posted on this thread.

I'll be honest, I didn't learn about Rockefeller in history - but then again, I ain't living in the glorious Freemocracy of 'Murica ;)
Regardless, fair enough, I see your point.

I concur. Rockefeller, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Etc, I think should be acceptable Characters.

Suppose so....

Name: Elizabeth Tudor

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Grade: 10th

Clubs: Drama and Literature Club

Sports: Would like to have a cheerleading squad.

Appearance: Elizabeth is a pretty girl in her teens. Like her father Henry VIII, she has long red/ginger hair that she keeps tied up in a ponytail. She also has brown eyes. Her skin is of fair complex and her stature is quite small.

Personality: Elizabeth is a well spoken young lady with good manners befitting that of a princess. Ever since she awoke, she became more relaxed and cheerful with the stress of living in her era relieved from her. Although, she still is a bit of a short-tempered girl, a trait she inherited from her father. All in all, she's a kind, smart, and shrewd girl and has a deep fondness for music, art, and literature. She keeps a minor dislike for Catholics due to her experiences in her reign as a protestant queen.

Brief History: The Queen led a life worthy of a monarch with it's many shares of hardship. Ushering England into an era of arts, culture and literature named after her. Her Government Policies were all great ones, reforming England into a superpower. The Virgin Queen of England was one of the greates monarchs England ever had. Now she was ready to die. She felt it was her time after experiencing the various deaths of her closest friends. Finally, she died on 24 March 1603 at Richmond Palace, between two and three in the morning.

However, she had awoke and opened her eyes. She found herself in a bedroom with a window besides the bed. From there she could see the MAHE. She felt dizzy. When she got up, she walked passed a mirror. She saw herself in a younger more beautiful body wearing modest pajamas. When she openned the wardrobe, she could see it was filled with school uniforms. She quickly cleaned herself and donned a uniform and exited the dorm room.


Headcanons: The queen speaks English with a RP accent, along with French.

Yes, it definitely was fun. And why did it end so quickly? Because at the end, everybody was waiting for the OP to let Hammurabi hold the announced speech. And due to the OP not doing so, it started loosing momentum and dieing off.
And that's why we're here.

I'd appreciate a bit more in Brief history, including about his death and him returning to life (mostly to know whether or not he is starting to teach, or already was teaching, and to know whether or not he remembers his life).
As for appearance: A) The picture is black and white, so a bit of additional description would probably be useful. B) I just read up on him, and it mentioned that after a while he started wearing a Whig due to having lost his hair. Would that be, or not be, the case here?
As for classes: I'm not sure about business... Maybe give it the larger scale of general Finances, which could then also include Business? Or maybe it should be business as a class? I'm not sure on this one

Fix'd.
Also, due to already having 5 (male) teachers (compared to 9 students), I'll be accepting no more additional male teachers (though those who had their apps before that, as Rockefeller, are exempt from this rule) - so it can be a bit more balanced.

Sure but you read the Hammurabi IC, so you know what to expect from her.

Also Jonathan states, I fixed tuts app, can you add him to the list along with his sports and clubs.

Please, either Jonathan, Jon, or Jonathanian States, even Jonathanian or tJS work, but not Jonathan states. That just seems weird.
