x -- Introduction You have absolutely no idea what you're doing here and why your life is being narrated in the second person. Whatever. You're just going to have to roll with it.
Very recently, you were living a normal (or not-so-normal life) in your own native universe. Now you're not. How did that happen? You're not entirely sure yourself, and the narrator isn't either. After all, the methods behind this transportation are numerous. Perhaps you died and found yourself in this generic setting instead of the afterlife. Perhaps you were about to teleport to somewhere else and just happened to miss by far more than what should be possible. Maybe you just woke up one morning in entirely the wrong place.
Regardless, you are currently puzzling over a letter that you have just received. You have absolutely no idea how this letter got to you and how anyone knows you're here. Let's take a look at this letter, shall we?
A smudge of blue ink blocks out the name of the principal.
Well, that sure was forceful. Regardless of manners, these people at least claim to have your best interest at heart. Besides that, it's not like you really have any other prospects. But despite that, it's quite suspicious that they know your name and where you are. They don't seem to be exactly trustworthy.
You weigh the pros and cons mentally, and eventually come to a decision. What will it be?
x -- dude there are already crossover rps what are you doing I really wanted to make a humorous crossover high school roleplay. Leave me alone. (Kudos to everyone who's done this before me. You guys know where it's at.)
Essentially, this roleplay is meant to be a bit of light fun for the summer. I don't expect this to get deep or meaningful. Just a light, sweet cotton candy cloud of a roleplay. Feel free to crack a bunch of jokes. Meta jokes are the best here. There's also meant to be a slight mystery element, which may or may not end up being the focus. Let's just see how this happens, shall we?
Yes, I am aware that none of this looks particularly respectable or well-thought-out. That's sort of the point. This is meant to be only a few steps away from a joke roleplay. No, that doesn't mean anything downright ridiculous can happen without explanation. It does, however, mean that ridiculous things can happen if they make some form of sense. Want to have a subplot where your characters go to the moon? Okay, as long as they have a reason to go to the moon and the means to do so. Want to have your characters make a club for worshipping cheese? Alright. Want the cheese club and moon people to team up and make a model of the moon out of cheese? Also fine. Go nuts.
Anyways. On to the rest of this mess. I look forward to seeing your form on the joining page.
x -- Roleplay rules The rules that everyone needs to follow. Breaking most of these won't result in much more than a nudge in the right direction, but if you keep breaking them, you could potentially be told to leave.
- Follow all forum rules.
- Please specify when you're ooc. Use parenthesis, braces, brackets, whatever. Makes everyone's lives way easier.
- Would be nice if you stuck around. Seriously, it's super annoying when someone joins and never comes back. I know I've done it in the past, but I should never be held up as an example.
- Only make as many characters as you can manage. It's okay if you can only handle one, and it's okay if you can handle five. Just try to stay within your own personal limits. I won't ever stop you from making more characters, but if I notice that you made one and never use it, I'll ask if you want to still keep them around.
- Any kinds of characters are fine. Canon characters from anything, characters based off of a canon, completely original characters- it's all free game. Just try not to have any repeats. Don't want to have three Harry Potters running around. Non-human characters are fine, but please remember that the logistics are going to be tricky if you're joining as a barn-sized dragon.
- LGBT+ stuff is welcomed. Everyone is expected to be tolerant of this. If you don't like this, don't join.
- Keep stuff appropriate. Seriously, no one wants to read about the intricacies of your characters smooching. Or about every individual organ that your character just sliced through with a butcher knife. Or about the intricacies of how they're smooching in the midst of all the blood and guts. Or anything worse than that. Just skip all the unsavory stuff, please.
- Don't do any of those squished up words. Godmod, powerplay, those things. They're not nice and not fun. If your character is an actual god in their universe, please nerf them a bit. Call dimensional shenanigans if you need to. Mary Sues and Gary Stus are also not allowed, unless your character just happens to be named that in which case I'm so sorry.
- Just use common sense. Don't do anything that's obviously stupid and unrealistic unless it would be really funny and everyone agrees, don't start drama out of character, all those things that seem really unfun and annoying for everyone involved. Just. Be nice. Please.
x -- School rules AKA rules that exist for the sole purpose of being broken. Break them. Break all of them. I will watch and laugh.
- Don't make out in public that's gross.
- Also don't get into physical fights, that's mean.
- Especially don't be mean to teachers, they're fragile. (Some aren't. Those are the ones you especially shouldn't be mean to.)
- Show up to class or your teachers might track you down and break the second rule on this list.
- Please wear clothes at all times. If you don't, everyone will laugh. That is punishment enough.
- If you leave the campus at any time without permission, everyone will watch you be kidnapped by the government. Have fun hanging out with all the aliens they've dissected.
- Everyone must be in their dorms by 10 pm. Those who don't make it back in time... we miss them dearly.
- Sleepovers are totally allowed as long as everyone is of the same gender.
- Never seek out the principal. She will appear on her own if it's important enough, and she does not like to be interrupted.
x -- joining form All joining information can be found on the joining page. Please post everything concerning the act of joining this roleplay over there to keep clutter down and to help people find the forms later on.
Roles needed:
-teachers/staff (the more eccentric the better. for now, let's limit it to one teacher per subject to keep it simple) -attendance person (you get to track down people who ditch and mess with them) -a ghost or other entity to lurk the grounds after dark for whatever reason (will be plot-relevant) -students (all years for now; try to keep them balanced, please) -anything else you feel like being

x -- common knowledge / The gossip column AKA the stuff that everyone who's been on campus for more than a week knows. Listed here for easy reference. If you want to add anything to this list, just let me know or have it included in your character's form. This will be updated as more stuff happens and more characters are added.
- The principal is a complete enigma. Those who have seen her refuse to talk about it, and those who seek her never find her. The staff changes the subject when ever anyone brings her up. All anyone knows is that she wrote the letter everyone got and is apparently female. Everyone refers to her as "Whatshername", since a splotch of ink removes her name from any document it would otherwise be on.
- Something lurks around the campus at night. Rumors are plentiful about what, exactly, but this is why no one wants to be out after dark.
- The science teacher might have killed someone. She refuses to confirm or deny this.
- Yuan Kang may or may not be a criminal. His past is an enigma, so who knows.
- The gym teacher is definitely a criminal. It's hard to tell what he did and when, though.
- Azu is a demigod? Maybe he was actually sent here on purpose. He's probably not human.
- Darling Charming's hair is full of secrets. Or beauty products. Or a sword. It's hard to say for sure.
- Anstus Alilou will go to great lengths to continue games of truth or dare. This is very useful for ferreting information out of people/getting them to do things.
x --plot plans There will, in fact, be an overarching plot. I only have some vague ideas for this, which will be revealed as they happen. Things may or may not get incredibly meta. In the meantime, any important plot things will be outlined over here.
- The roleplay begins. It's the day before the first day of school, and everyone is still generally disoriented.
x -- members x - - goldfish - owner - Anstus Alilou, Werben Alilou, Polyth Waytha, the principal
x - - Aмвεяωιиg - new member - Yuan Kang, Melaine Shadoex -- Salted Squid - new member - Skylar Brennan x -- snow - new member - Darling Charming x -- Dragons Vein - new member - Hack, Miko Venethio, Arty Rogers x -- kindredsprites - new member - Tonkotsu Tongx -- silvermoonblaze - new member - Ayashi Kirigiya, Dazai Osamux -- Innue - new member - Sasuke Uchiha x -- Lark - new member - Azu, Gerathon, Delilah, Chiaki Nanami, Jade x -- mintedstar/fur🦇 - new member - Myrnin x -- Armageddidn't - new member - Tom Ridgewellx -- 𝕊𝕙𝕒𝕕𝕠𝕨 - new member - Ilex Motus, Xera Cyrellisx -- Pow Pow - new member - Sophie
x -- The shipping grid AKA relationships. Here's the key. Any neutral relationships won't be listed for reasons of eliminating clutter.
> or < is a one-sided crush, with the arrow pointing in the way it goes. >< is a two-sided crush. <3 is an actual romantic relationship. </3 means that they used to be together but broke up. -- is a familial bond or other relationship, specified on a case-to-case basis. : ) means that they're friends. : ( means that they don't like each other.
Anstus Alilou -- Werben Alilou ("dancestors"- ancestors/descendants on both sides, it's complicated) Werben Alilou : ( Ayashi Kirigiya Azu -- Jade (cousins) Gerathon -- Jade (Gerathon is Jade's spirit animal)
x --School Stuff This is the place for classes and whatnot. I'm far too lazy to make a schedule for everyone, so you guys can figure it out on your own if you're devoted enough. Just like. Have your character have whatever classes make some form of sense. This isn't intended to be the focus of the roleplay (it's going to be more about teenager drama and inter-dimensional spoopiness), so you don't need to exactly know what classes your character is taking.
Subjects:
English (taught by: [saved for Silverfall]) Math (taught by: Skylar Brennan) History (taught by: open) Science (taught by: Polyth Waytha) Biology (taught by: Myrnin) Physical Education (taught by: Miko Venethio) Foreign Language (taught by: Dazai Osamu) (it's Japanese) Band/Choir (taught by: open) Art (taught by: open) (feel free to request to add on to this list)
The interesting ones... clubs
Rabbit Lover Club: Yuan Kang Book Club: Tonkotsu Tang Kendo and Martial Arts Club: Sasuke Uchiha (leader), Gerathon, Ilex Motus Magic Club: Xera Cyrellis (leader) Mystery Club: Chiaki Nanami
General layout
Just for reference so that we can keep stuff consistent. Basically, there's a really big main building that contains all the classrooms and stuff. The school office is the first room visible upon entry. Off to the right of the building is the gym and track (maybe there's a swimming pool too I don't know use your imagination), and off to the left are the dorms. There's a girl's dorm building and a boy's dorm building, and they're quite close together. There's also a teacher's dorm somewhere around there. Between them is a courtyard with some trees and stuff. A lot of people probably go over there to eat lunch and stuff. Maybe I'll add on to this some more someday, but for now that should cover it.

(Day before the first day of school, perhaps? I imagine the school would give people a day or two to get oriented before school starts up. Maybe our freshman characters could be roommates and introduce themselves to each other?)

He dreamed, and for the first time in a while, it wasn't of purple towers.
The feeling of his stomach dropping as the timeline firmly became doomed. His own face reflected in his sprite, the words "don't want to stick around", the feeling of loneliness as his co-players left the public memo. A green slab of rock meant for a legendary nap. Waking up with burgundy wings and green robes, an immortal wasting away in a timeline that wasn't meant to be. The feeling of being stabbed by a friend, of breath leaving him and vision going dark and oh god how could that be heroic or just but surely the universe would make it be anyways because he was never meant to be-
Anstus Alilou awoke in a bed, heart pounding. He sat up, immediately looking around himself. He relaxed incrementally after remembering where he was. He had awoken here the previous day instead of in the afterlife. He was okay.
Anstus noticed the newcomer in the other bed and turned his attention to that instead. He looked over the boy with a critical eye, noting the fact that he was of a completely different species. A roommate, then. Presumably one in the same situation as he. "Hello," he said, tone quiet and even. "New to this world, I assume."

"Thought so," Anstus replied. "Don't worry. You'll be safe. Actually, let me check." He paused for a moment, a thoughtful expression overtaking his face. The troll then nodded decisively. "All of the outcomes that involve your death are fairly convoluted. You'll be fine." He got out of bed, then extended a hand to shake. "Anstus Alilou. Good to meet you," he said. His wings chose that moment to show themselves, and he mentally cursed. He still didn't have full control over that. The wings were that of a butterfly, and were dark red with fire-like patterns. They fluttered lightly, almost without thought.

Anstus, having fully functioning eyes, noticed Kang's confusion. "Yeah. Wings. I was surprised too. Came with godhood for some reason." He paused for a moment. "Or whatever you want to call it. It's complicated. Feel free to ask about anything, I'll try to answer." He, of course, had also noticed the ears and hair, but he didn't especially care. It was probably an alien thing or something. He wasn't one to judge. Honestly, things were weird enough now that he wasn't bothered by that sort of thing anymore.

Anstus shrugged. "If you insist. Anyways. I imagine you're confused by your current circumstances. I've been here for a day already, so I can likely explain a few things." Explaining things was fun. He liked explaining things. It was sort of his intended purpose in the universe, in any case. Seer of Doom and all that.

Anstus shrugged, dismissing the changing hair color as another alien thing. "No idea. I want to know that myself. For all intents and purposes, I should be dead right now and you should be... I don't know, being somewhere that isn't here." Not being dead had been a pleasant surprise, but he wasn't sure about this guy. Surely he had something to miss. "Can't really do anything about that, right now. Anything else?"

"Here, I'll take you there. This place is fairly confusing," he said. "We can talk more on the way." Anstus went to the dorm-room door and opened it, holding it open for Kang. "As for the dead thing, I'm just as bewildered. All signs pointed to me being un-revivable this time; even if that hadn't been the case, I wouldn't have come back here." He shrugged. "Just decided to try to accept it." That had been a difficult decision. He had spent months accepting that he was going to die, and it was hard to reverse all of that so quickly. "So. What about you? What ridiculous circumstance did you come out of?"
