lakeside academy -- a rather large academy located inside america. more specifically, new york. it is the home to over four hundred students, including yourself, as of today.
lakeside academy is a boarding school alternate universe to the warrior cat series we're all relatively, if not extremely, familiar with. all you have to do to become a member is claim a couple of cats, and give me a description of what they would look like when they're turned in to human teenagers.
familial relations (such as firestar and squirrelflight) will be disregarded to make things easier. although, brothers and sisters will remain as siblings. but we can't have a cat like firestar the same (or relatively the same) age as his grandchildren, and go to the same high school as his grandchildren, now can we? it just gets confusing, making it a situation everyone would prefer to avoid.
there are six homerooms per grade. this is to keep the ideal of clans in tact. riverclan is class a. thunderclan is class b.windclan is class c. shadowclan is class d. skyclan is class e. any outsiders of these five clans (kittypets, rogues, bloodclan...) belong to class f. the classes tend to keep to themselves, and are generally hostile to anyone outside of their homeroom.
clubs aren't edclusive to classes, although bias may occasionally be spotted, especially in the lakeside academy sports teams. there are not any cliques per se, but there are still "queen bees" and students that recieve/deman more respect than others (although, they're usually just rich kids), and there are still people like nerds and outcasts and thespians.
so, the differences between homeroom classes are exaggerated. if you're caught being friendly with someone from another class, you're for sure going to have your entire life as a student ruined.
welcome to lakeside academy.

~ • ~ rule one -- forum rules ;; these are the rules you should be following no matter where you are on the forums, unless, you know, you're either a troll or something. but still -- follow them here please. I worked hard on this and I wouldn't appreciate it being deleted over the immaturity of others.
rule two -- literacy & post length ;; literacy is like, everything to me. and since this is a semi-advanced/advanced roleplay, i'm going to have expectations that you guys can at least post decently sized replies. when you type up a post ranging anywhere from twenty to fifty lines, and someone replies with "he nodded and followed him/her silently", i know i wouldn't be the only one to die at least a little bit. when you're replying to a post like that, it's so difficult, since there's so little to make a paragraph or two of a response. all i ask is that you type at least two or three lines per roleplay post (minimum. there's no maximum amount of lines, so be as creative as you want!), with grammar, spelling, and punctuation that doesn't make you look like you're the person who wrote starkit's prophecy. slacking off in the chat is very much okay, heck, when i chat, i bet there's a lot of people who don't even know what i'm saying. but in rp, i really, really don't want posts that are so bad a first grader could type up something more descriptive. if you have trouble, then try to describe exactly what your character is doing, where they are, what their tone of voice is [if they're talking], what they're thinking about, what they feel emotionally or physically, what they see, et cetera. it isn't too hard to type a decent sized paragraph when you get descriptive, trust me.
rule three -- activity ;; please don't join then ditch a day after! you know how annoying that is, when you work hard on a roleplay, you get a joiner, just for them to completely ignore the thread after a few days passed? i know i'm guilty of joining something then forgetting about it like, a week, or a month after, but that's usually when i don't think before joining an rp, and have to cut off a few. if you lose interest, or, like me, you joined without realizing and have to quit, please, do me a favor and tell me? with a limited amount of students, i can't really have someone take up space and leave, since that's just making a few spots unavailable for no reason, making it so that someone who actually wants to join unable to. i don't want you to feel bored here, or feel uncomfortable, but if you do, please, tell me before you leave? i know myself and some other forumers might appreciate it c: if you're inactive for three weeks without an excuse, you'll be deleted -- but if there are some cats still open you'd like to claim/reclaim, you can always return.
rule four -- ratios ;; usually i see roleplays with hmm, ten girls, but also two boys. if this rule isn't in place, i have a feeling the guys' dorms are going to fill up a lot slower. so, to make sure things are always just about even, i ask that you claim at least one girl and one guy. i'm okay with the roleplay having a few more of one gender, but try not to make too lopsided, okay? three more of one gender than the other max.
rule four -- claiming ;; since this is a high school alternate universe for the characters we know and grew up with, there won't be any original characters, (though, you can always just grab one of the cats like "havenpelt" that never actually appear and form them in to your oc if you feel so inclined). when you're claiming, make sure you're paying good attention to the list found on the joining page. i don't want anyone to spend hours into making a great description for a character just for me to shoot them down because the character is already claimed. that hurts me too ): it's probably best to tell me who you're claiming before you begin working, so i can verify they're open (since the list may not be completely accurate 100% of the time) and reserve them for you.
rule five -- rating ;; these are teenagers in high school, i know. and a lot of times, high schoolers these days won't make the best decisions. but everything must be kept pg-13. no scenes of graphic ""romance"" or excessive gorey violence (fist fights and stuff are very encouraged becayse they do a lot to spice up the rp and cause tension!! weaponry is fine, but no killing unless the owner of dying character gives their consent), no excessive swearing (fbombs or racial slurs are strongly discouraged), et cetera. note: drugs are allowed to be roleplayed, beware, etc
rule six -- spamming ;; don't spam. period.
rule eight -- realism ;; you know, when it comes to humans, i'm pretty lenient on how realistic your character has to be when it comes to their appearance. however, their hair and eyes must be the same color as their cat form in the books, unless states to have dyed their hair or are wearing eye contacts.
rule nine -- sexuaI orientations & gender identities ;; everything is accepted here. have a problem with two guys kissing, or a person who identifies as someone without a gender? suck it up, or go away. flaming/harassing/hating on other members will only get you reported.
rule eleven -- have fun ;; you're probably looking over the rules and noting a few i forgot, and that's good. the fact you're remembering them means you know you should be following them! so please do. other than that, i want you to have fun. if you're not enjoying yourself here, tell me, and we can either work something out. if you don't want to be here, don't hesitate to tell me -- i don't want you to feel bored or uncomfortable here. you're more important than a few characters.

~ • ~ these are the school rules every student must follow. although, let's be real... we're gonna break all of them. reprecussions, however, will still be handed out if he students are caught!
1. during class hours, you must always wear your uniform. inside dorm halls, however, anything may be weared as long as it follows standard dress code. that means:
no vulgar language on tees no short shorts/skirts [fingertip rule] no sleeveless shirts no excessive cleavage no hats no gang-related clothing no bulky clothing
2. under no circumstances may students be hanging out in dorms (other than their own) past nine pm.
3. no gambling on school property (i.e poker games for money).
4. absolutely no weapons, drugs, or alcohol are permitted on school grounds.
5. students may not leave school grounds without alerting the secretary.
6. no skipping classes, unless you have provided the teacher with a note excusing your absence. notes may be obtained in the main office, if you have a viable excuse.
7. public displays of affection are not tolerated. simple things like holding hands or bro-hugs are fine, though.
8. obviously, the purposeful harm of another student is not allowed under any circumstances. this includes physical abuse and verbal.
9. food may only be eaten in the cafeteria or outside. littering will be punished.
10. electronics may not be used in classes, unless the teacher permits them. earbuds will be temporarily taken away if people are found with them outside of dorms.

(I would take Ivypool too [FOR THE GAY SHIP] but obviously someone else needs to play the love interest. I'll take Snowfur, Crookedjaw, and Nightpelt too. I assume they wouldn't have their leader names.)

(Also, @animefreak, is it a must that the characters fall in love with their canon love interests? If I make Thistleclaw I really want to make him bisexual and ship him with Fireheart because—)

{I'm using an obnoxious layout.} Hollyleaf
Hollyleaf sat in Dorm 1, reading a Bed Bath & Beyond catalog. She looked down at the comforters with envy. She should have purchased the spotted ones at the start of the school year, as opposed to the dumb zigzag pattern she had now. Hollyleaf got up and brushed off the loose hairs that had fallen from her thick mane of hair and opened the door, striding down the hall with long steps. She might as well visit Ivypool, even if the other kid was a bit dark. She poked her head into the room. "Hey there."

{This is awkward because I wanted to play them like they knew each other aaa} Hollyleaf
"I'm from Dorm 1. I've seen you here and there." She stepped out of the doorway. "Can I come in?"

[ anyone can hop in if they so please ^^ ]
It was a mild day out, for January in New York, but still freezing out. Blossomfall felt like a popsicle as she stood out on the fire escape, a cigarette held in her lips as she texted and kept an eye out for monitors. Last time she got caught smoking on school grounds by a staff member, she had saturday detention for a month. That was her second time—if anyone important saw her now, she'd probably get kicked out.
She took her right hand off her Iphone for a moment to flick her ash and release the smoke in her lungs. She was standing outside in her best fur coat, yet she was still shivering in her five-hundred-dollar boots. She really did hate the cold. How amazing would life be it were summer all year long? Shorts, beaches and frozen lemonades until the end of times. And hey, she wouldn't have to be cooped up in hell school, ever! She let out a dreamy sigh, completely losing herself to her thoughts.

Tawnypelt sighed out loud, laying on her top bunk. Her arms were outstretched, holding her phone above her, texting at speeds that her hands probably shouldn't have been able to reach. With a final button, she reread her message, looking proud of herself, and then hit send, tossing her phone to the other end of the bed and brushing her hair out of her face. It was currently let down, in a mess around her and on top of her red and black pillows. She contemplated laying in bed all day, but after what seemed like forever to her, she rolled over, swinging her legs off the side of her bed, and bouncing down. Reaching up, she grabbed her phone off of the top of the bed and brushed off her shirt and shorts, which both seemed dangerously close to being against the dress code.
Jake stalked out of his dorm and down the hall, wearing a navy blue hoodie and matching jeans. He stopped as he approached a vending machine- what he'd been looking for. He dug a few quarters out of his pockets, sticking them in the machine and grabbing a bottle of water and bag of chips from the bottom. He ran a hand through his hair- he'd just woken up, hungry, and walked out without bothering to check how he looked. Not that he cared, anyways. Yawning, he turned and started his way back down the hall.
