[New Edom]

Name: Marianne Cotta
Age: 17
Nationality: New Edomite (Baran-Cornellian)

Current/Previous School: Whitehaven Academy

Health Issues: None
Background: Her fther is the Minister of Culture, a post he ascended to after his predecessor and mentor, Solomon Cain, died in a stadium crash. He had a successful career in the army before entering politics. The family is generally interested in film and photography in particular as well as outdoor pastimes, picnics and country style nature. The extensive family largely lives in Etruria Majora, New Edom's northernmost home province. She has two brothers and a younger sister.

Marianne is fond of swimming and boating, and enjoys the company of animals. While she enjoys reading she is equally happy out of doors. She has begun shifting from a chunky girl to a shapely young woman.

While she had enjoyed her time at Whitehaven, it was known for over a year that she might end up going to a foreign academy to learn about the wider world. This is an increasingly common practice in New Edom. She has been thinking of joining the Navy for at least a few years.

Why You Wish to Attend: There are friendly relations between Lamoni and The Selkies and both our nations. New Edom has developed an educational system very similar to that of Lamoni, with many cultural differences, and arguably education, trade and the navy have adapted in many ways towards a more Lamonian system which might make visiting the academy very compatible.

Favorite Subjects: History, Athletics
Extras: Would like to bring her bring her Ibizan Hound Julia. She would like to be able to have at least 2 hours a dayto walk her, look after her and spend time with her.

New Edom and the Age of Glory

Unless puppets are being used, this isn't Lamoni's rp.

Both nations have relations. Look it up in the factbook. They have trade and cultural relations.

[Saranidia]

Why not add some controversy to it by making it opt-in, however having an admin error make it look as if everybody has opted in already

interesting so an error technically makes everyone subject to a paddling for stepping out of line?

That would be interesting due to different views on it in different nations and a conflict between elite traditionalism and elite pride.

[Kuronami]

Is the IC up yet?

It will be up today.

Can I make a character that gets expelled in the first week? I think that will liven the atmosphere a bit.

Plan:

Show up late or not at all
Refuse to do homework
Refuse to follow the dress code
Refuse to participate in the national anthem/pledge of allegiance
Do her own thing in class (texting, napping, taking selfies)
Disrupt an assembly
Get into arguments with teachers*
Cuss out the principal*

* Only if they try to boss her around. She doesn't look for confrontations without a reason.

If you're just going to get yourself kicked out in the first week, is there really much point in joining?

True it's not one of his but I do know New Edom and Lamoni so maybe just by that extension?

Could I get that uniform description plz

[Main Nation Ministry]

Could I get that uniform description plz

It's right here

[Greater vakolicci haven]

I'm blind. I can't use images.

[Saranidia]

should I describe it or is someone else willing to? I'm tired so it will take effort.

[Folaisia]

I'll do it. Actually, why not let the OP do it?

[Folaisia]

Also, Kuronami, I've asked this before, but I presume you didn't see it: would my character be allowed to bring pepper spray instead of a knife?

[Kuronami]

Sure I'll do my best to describe it. The uniform is a jumper also known as a pinafore dress style of dress with a white long sleeved blouse, tied at the collar by a red ribbon. Six buttons run vertically down the chest area with three on left and right sides with a black belt at the waist. The dress itself is black with a white stripe at the trim. Black stockings or tights are worn on the legs and the shoes are closed toe shoes with a wedge heel.

lso, Kuronami, I've asked this before, but I presume you didn't see it: would my character be allowed to bring pepper spray instead of a knife?

Yes that will be fine.

[The Selkie]

[...] also known as a pinafore dress style [...]

A pinafore?
Well, expect Mona to grumble a bit about the school uniform, but to accept it.

Also, hi, New Edom - long time no see. How have you been?

Thanks, do they have to wear that after school?

[Kuronami]

Thanks, do they have to wear that after school?

If you do change after classes and of course on weekends you're welcome to wear whatever clothes you bring with or buy.

My boarding school made us change after classes.

[Kuronami]

My boarding school made us change after classes.

That's very interesting. Well this school won't mandate that.

[Greater vakolicci haven]

That's very interesting. Well this school won't mandate that.

If it helps, this was our schedule. Periods are 32.5 minutes long if they're in the morning, with periods 7 and 8 being 35 minutes long and period 9 being 40, in order to keep things interesting. Things changed yearly.

7:30 AM: Breakfast. This happened in boarding houses, and sixth form students were kind of expected to, you know, sort themselves out.
8:35 AM: start of school, registration in form rooms or chappel (yes, compulsory chappel.) Chappel was on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays.
9 AM: Start of lessons. Most lessons were double periods, but not all of them, yay! And it changed each week, so keep on your toes.
10:30: Break.
11-13:10: p5/6/plp. Plp is weird. PLP shouldn't be a thing. In PLP, you might have something, you might not have something; it could be free time or it could be something random that the school thinks you need to know.
13:10-14:20: Lunchtime. Lunchtime was weird as well. We all went down to lunch at the exact same time, given their were only 80 students it didn't create major queues, and then we kind of did what we wanted after it. very young (11-13) students had to do organised activities, under-16 had to do whatever they wanted in the school building, 16-18 could go to the sixth form houses.
14:20-16:00: periods 7-9. One was always a single period, sometimes they all were. It altered.
16:00: home time, for some. Extracuriculars happened their, and very young (11-13) students had to stay and do their homework in the supervised prep room. I know. Idiotic.
17:00: younger students go to boarding houses.
18:30 dinner
20:45 bedtime for year 7
21:15: bedtime for year 8
21:45: bedtime for year 9
22:15: bedtime for year 10
22:45 bedtime for year 11
23:00 sixth form curfew (no bedtime.)

So, that's a schedule in a quaint english boarding school.
