TheDarkerDream - July 8, 2008 08:09 PM (GMT)
Genre: High school, boarding school, any kind of school :p Just... not Harry Potter.
Difficulty: Anywhere. My friend and I who are looking don't want crazy word minimums. We don't want to have to write 500 words every single post, but we want to able to write 500 or more if we feel like it. Heck, if we want to write just 100 words, we want to be able to.
Type(s) of Creature(s): Humans, either RL or not RL. We have a tendency to go crazy with our chars, soo... :p
Preferred Rating: PG - PG 13. No R or NC 17.
Preferred Number of Members/Activity: Doesn't matter. As long as it's active enough that we can come on and someone's on, or that we won't have trouble getting in and RPing, it's fine! :)
Preferred Time where RPG is set in: Present or future
Other Notes: Not only to have a tendency to make crazy characters, but we adore drama. We like to kill, hurt, maim, etc, our characters and do crazy stuff with other people. If you have a board where we can be dramatic, have as many characters as we want, and no word llimit, then we'll be there! ^^

Welcome to St. Tristan's School for Girls. EXCEPT it's not just for girls anymore.
St. Tristan's has been forced to merge with a nearby all boy school Karl Emery's
Academy for Young Men. Karl Emery's hasn't been doing too well do to low
enrollment. They were forced to fire all their staff and now only the Headmaster
follows the boys to St. Tristans. St. Tristan's isn't your ordinary school for girls.
There are many quirks about this school from the girls to the Headmaster. The
girls are all very different from one another and there are many cliques, but they
all get along. The older girls might look crazy, but you haven't met the first, second
and third years yet. These girls don't want Karl Emery's to merge with them. They
want their school to stay the way it is. Karl Emery's boys aren't all different like the
girls are. They're stuck up and annoying to these girls. The only boys they really
want around are their Headmaster, Science teacher and two townies that come in
once in a while. These kids are learning some academics, but mostly they're learning
about life. That is what these teacher are there for.

- Drama = welcomed with wide open arms
- Word limits? we get on those who write horrid, blicky one-liners. But you WANT to write lots? You're my kinda people *kidnaps*
- Character limlits? Nawww
You sound great for my board, here's its ad:
Name of Board: Innocence Exposed
Link to Board:
Location of Mini Banner: In the news scroll box
Link to profile on the Board: Innocence
RPG Catagory: Alternative School or Boarding School
Contact Details: Through the profile listed above, or through “Exposed”
Activity: Highly active and long-running
Difficulty: Intermediate+
Rating: PG-13 - R
Types of Characters/Creatures allowed: Humans
Time of where the RP is set in: Present
Plot/Story:
The setting of this RPG is the school of Mount Horizon (located near Vancouver, Canada), which is a boarding-type of school for troubled teens. The premise of this RPG comes from a show by the name of Higher Ground, starring Hayden Christensen and A.J. Cook. Though the show only went on for a year, there are many fans still out there, that are growing each passing year with the increasing popularity of the show's star.
In this RPG, we attempt to re-create the feel of the show, with the emotional drama, love-lives, and everyday real-life problems that the kids on the show faced. Students at Horizon deal with issues such as:
Stats:
The board's been up and running for almost three years now (the first site, Healing Waters, ran for over a year, and this continuation site has been running for well over a year and a half). We curently have around 120-150 some characters on our board, and it's always active, with 10-12 people usually on throughout the night. This rpg is almost like an online home to many, and we don't plan on leaving anytime soon. And, unlike most high school rpgs, this rpg can be at a comfortable and active pace; it's definitely not rush-rush or dead at any time.
Also, unlike most rpg boards, this one will not end within a months time only for a new one to spring up in its place. Due to the success of the board’s lifeline and the dedication of its members and advanced writers, please only join the site if you’re thinking of giving us a chance and staying with us if you like the place.
About the School:
Mount Horizon is basically located far away from the rest of civilization. The school is surrounded by a seemingly endless vast of forest and mountains, so it is quite secluded. There is a neighboring town close by, Agnes, where the locals live. Along with Horizon’s staff, there are also regular townies in the Agnes section of the board, so you can also just play a resident if you like. Also allowed are students, graduates, counselors, and just about any other type of (human) character you want to play.
As for the students, each one is placed into a group, and each group has two-three counselors who run it. The counselors may have one-on-one meetings with the kids in their group, hold group meetings or go out on a group hike (though it’s not required, and the last two don’t happen very frequently). Each group has their own cabins, for boys and girls respectively.
Other Notes:
There are only basic guidelines to follow; we aren’t uberly strict on the board, but we feel that we’re running it well enough to have lasted this long and still have many of our original members with us.
It is not required to have watched Higher Ground to become a member of the board, just read the rules and guidelines!
For security reasons, we've made our rpg only viewable to members; so you must register an account and wait for validation in order to view the board (which won't take very long at all~).
If things are a bit over-packed, or even slow, within the next few weeks -- we have been putting together the 4th Annual Awards for the site, but please come by and feel free to join at any time :)

December, Esq - July 13, 2008 06:21 AM (GMT)
You guys sound pretty cool. I love in-character drama, so you're more than welcome on my board. ^_^ I will let you know that it's a two to three-month long RP that takes place this summer. (It's a virtual summer camp.) So it's not technically high school in the sense that it takes place at a high school, but the characters are all high school age. Anyway, the official ad:
Ever wanted to go to a summer camp but decided that the dirt and the sun wasn't for you? Or perhaps you want to go but you don't have the time. Well then, come to Camp December.
Camp December is a virtual summer camp scheduled July 21st 2008 - September 21st 2008 IRL time. During these two months you can make characters, create plots, expand relationships while meeting new people in the roleplaying community.

If you're still searching, me and some other people just opened a Real Life site the other day. It's relatively quiet and not completely strict with length. We'd love to have you and your friend. ^^

4AM forEVER

Yesterday I lost my closest friend
Yesterday I wanted time to end
I wonder if my heart will ever mend
I just let you slip away
It was the good old days that you now pass by. Those days where you were friends with everyone and they were all friends with you. Where it didn’t matter whether they had it bad or perfect, whether they had money or not, whether they lived life in the rich neighborhood or with the rest of the world. Because they were your friends, and you weren’t gonna leave them behind if you had any say in the matter.
Maybe I'll never see you smile again
Maybe you thought that it was all pretend;
All these words that I could never say
I just let them slip away
Then came High School. It’s those years where it’s all about what you wear and where you shopped. You left your real friends for the crowd that you best fit in. Didn’t matter who you wanted to be with, it was all about peer pressure. And if you didn’t fit in, you became a nobody. A wallflower with no friends at all. And there is no life without friends, right? Even if they get you into trouble more then you want to. They are your friends, right?
Why don't you hear me when I'm calling out to you
Why don't you listen when I try to make it through
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, you never know
Hold a little tighter
Of course, you could always try to get back together with them when college came, right? They’d want you back, because you were best friends in the good old days. But the damage was done. You became a somebody and they, a nobody. And in the times we live in now, it’s all about that. Who you grew up as resulted in what you’d become. And that’s what happened, right? You became what you were told to become. They became who they wanted to become.
Maybe one day when I can move along
Maybe someday when you can hear this song
You won't let it slip away
But, alas, here comes the real life. And there you are, stuck in the high end of the social status. Becoming something, sure, but not what you wanted to be. You could’ve been anything, but you chose to do what they told you to do. And now it’s too late to make a difference, because you missed your chance. It could’ve been fame, it could’ve been passion. But you missed out on it. Missed out on it all.
And I'd wish the sun would never come
It's 4 AM and you are gone
I hope you know you're letting go
It's 4 AM and I'm alone
Maybe one day things can change. Maybe you can be the one who makes a difference. Be the prep on the outside, but a true nerd on the inside and not be afraid to show it. Because that’s what will make all the difference. Being who you want to be, rather than what you’re told to be. It could be a revolution. But who’s going to start the domino effect when it’s all pressure and no fun? Here, when it’s 4 AM forever...

Come check us out. We are a friendly board, with many members. There is almost always someone on to Play with. We have interesting Canons, Plots, and characters. Originals and Canons avalible. We are definitely worth a look.
Unsure if Little Jimmy is right for you?
A small town with about 8,000 good hard working Southern folk in it. Football Nights are like a religious holiday here. The girls pretty themselves up for a wild night of partying and sex every Tuesday and Thursday. When Monday rolls around, the kids are caught skipping to hang out at Montana’s or City Limits. Sometimes, the braver ones dare to go to McDowell’s Hole.
Twenty years ago, a program was re-introduced into Little Jimmy's perfect world. Honky Tonk Angels. An association where they took young high school students who had found themselves in trouble with the law and the harsher ways of life out of NYC into the country. There the students were placed with foster families for the year as they worked with the kids to straighten out their lives. The program still thrives today with the children of the original lifers and angels. Unfortunately much like the Little Rock, Arkansas disaster some of the folks in Little Jimmy aren't so...
Welcoming. The older families in town aren’t so welcoming towards the newcomers as some nasty words have been flying back and forth. It seems the town’s secrets of racism and prejudice seem to be leaking out at every turn. A team of low-end FBI agents has come to Little Jimmy in hopes of keeping the peace. However, can years of hatred and prejudice slip away like the wind? Or will relationships be tested and lines crossed?

*~*~*Mount Horizon; School for Troubled Teens*~*~*
moser - July 26, 2008 05:50 PM (GMT)
- It is early in the morning; several residents wake up with the scent of the crisp air blowing in from the Pacific Ocean. Some are so bold enough to run just as the sun peeks in from the East, and some even go to the beach for a quick swim or surf. As the morning progresses, the tree-lined streets see a deluge of commuters, headed to school or work. The sidewalks begin to see their first pedestrians, and the sun ascends even higher into the sky. The rays from the sun go uninterrupted, as there isn’t a cloud to be seen. The wind continues to blow from the Pacific, offering relief from the heat. As the day carries on, students are situated in school, adults heavily at work, and business goes on as usual. When the work and school hours are over, the city is alive with activity.
Welcome to Bayvale Harbor, California, a beautiful town located in Southern California, neatly situated outside of Los Angeles. About twenty-seven thousand people call this place home, and they wouldn’t have it any other way. Complaints are generally unheard of – frankly because the residents don’t have that mentality. Perhaps the coveted appeal of the town is the attitude of the residents, the very ‘laid-back’ approach that most Southern Californians are branded with. With a beach practically in your back yard, a wonderful mix of jobs at your disposal, and virtually no crime, it’s no wonder why the residents are at ease. Consequently, the near-perfect conditions attract a variety of people.
Bayvale Harbor has been dubbed as a ‘land of opportunity.’ People from all walks of life have flocked to this area in hopes of a better life. Fueled by the prosperity around them, hopefuls coming from different walks of life have desired to acclimate into the kind of life that the other residents enjoy. Attaining that prosperity, however, is much easier said than done. With further investigation, some have figured out that not everyone played honest to get what they have. Nevertheless, they reach for their dreams, diligently working towards for that better life.
The struggle is real, and it’s not limited to the working class. High school students face the burden of molding their own future, and adults must cope with whatever adversity may come their way. Although Bayvale Harbor has been the place of their dreams, it doesn’t necessarily mean that its residents will escape reality. Even if the possible heartbreak of life has manifested itself on residents, they continue to pursue their dream - the American dream.
- it eluded us then, but that’s no matter – to-morrow we will run faster, stretch our arms farther… and one fine morning – so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
