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.

It was a nice day, but a cold one, for how early in to autumn it was. It felt more like a late-autumn morning than anything. It was under 40 degrees fahrenheit, and frost, half-melted from the weak rays of the morning sun, glittered in the green grass. Darkstripe stood shivering on the sidewalk outside the academy, wrapped up in an autumn jacket. He wished the school would let students smoke inside the school, where it was at least a little warmer. His fingers felt half-numb as he fumbled around with the lighter, trying to keep a flame going long enough to light his cig. Frustrating work. After several long moments of struggling with the lighter, he ended up just giving up and shoving the lighter and cigarette back in to his pocket. Obviously it was out of fluid. Further attempts would just make him look even more pitiful. He didn't have the time to go to town and pick one up, so it seemed the only choice he had today was to suffer, unless he wanted to skip his first class. But surprisingly enough, he knew better. He just hoped four o'clock would roll around soon. Being a smoker sucks, he thought grumpily.

(Ugh, sorry for my bad starter as well ;~ {Tigerstar} Usually, everyone was milling around Lakeside at this time, classes close to starting. One of the few who weren't at the academy, was walking up the sidewalk with a backpack full of... "altered" candy. He had joined Bluestar and Yellowfang (who were the candy druggies of Lakeside) in a game of poker to play for just that, and wiped the floor with them in the game. What Yellowfang could make out of pretty much any candy was the only reason he played. As weird as it sounded, Yellowfang and Bluestar made drugs out of candy, and a few other things. And candy was much easier to come by than the actual "stuff", and the idea made him snort. Good God, Tigerstar was such a mess sometimes. Oh well though. He had actually very good grades and played sports (while not on anything), so being addicted to candy wasn't bad.
The reason why he was outside though, was because he bored. Nothing more, nothing less, and didn't feel like heading to class just yet. Donned in his own dark jacket and clothing, the cold didn't sway him at all. He preferred the cold actually, over hot weather anyway. Looking ahead, he noticed someone trying to get a light. Squinting, he blinked when he noticed it was Darkstripe. So, Tigerstar walked over to the other guy, saying "I have yet to understand your addiction to smoking." Even though Mr. Candy Druggie 3 was no better. As he looked Darkstripe over (managing not to drool, mind you), his amber eyes were narrowed as he watched his friend put the cig and lighter away. Tiger was no help in this situation, as he wasn't a smoker and didn't carry around a lighter much. Shaking his head a little, he continued "Come on, class starts soon. Plus, it isn't exactly warm sunshine out here. You're no use if your're a popsicle." Noticing Darkstripe had been shivering, was why he spoke, and Tiger almost looked annoyed. He understood though, because the rule was no smoking inside. Turning away, he turned to head back to the school, assuming Darkstripe was going to follow. Tigerstar sure hoped so, anyway. As usual, only admitting it to himself, he enjoyed any chance to be around the other guy. Good thing Darkstripe always seemed to be around him anyway.

─────✧─────-Hollyleaf
"It's autumn. Why is it already so dang cold?" Cursing under her breath, Hollyleaf continued to talk to herself, eyeing her surroundings to make make sure no one was around. She'd rather not have to explain why she was having a conversation with herself - people already thought she was crazy enough. Yes, that's what she was known for. Being crazy. Not necessarily in a psychpathic sense, but she was obsessed with following the rules, and got extremely distressed if she was not in charge of things. Which she though was perfectly normal. Snapping out of her thoughts, she paused to glance over at one of the only other students out in the cold, who looked to be trying to light a cigarette. After her flash of annoyance had gone away, due to the fact he shouldn't be be smoking on campus, she couldn't couldn't help but crack a smile. Oh boy was it amusing to watch people make fools out of themselves. "Having trouble over there?"

Darkstripe nearly jumped out of his skin when Tigerstar spoke to him, having been so focused on his hard work of fighting an empty lighter. That was a trait Darkstripe wasn't exactly proud of– his jumpiness. It especially sucked when he was around Tigerstar. How could you possibly look cool when you get frightened by every little thing? Snapping out of his brief daze, he lifted his head to look up at the other guy. "You say that as if you were a perfect student," He grunted in response. "Ten bucks says you're high right now." The corner of his lip tugged in to a half grin. It wasn't something he did very often in front of Tigerstar. He thought it ruined his cool, which, if you haven't been paying much attention thus far, he cared a lot about. Though, no matter what he did, he always felt like a bumbling idiot around the brown-haired guy.
When Hollyleaf spoke, he could literally feel whatever dignity he had remaining drain from him. Being laughed at by the local freak? That's a whole new kind of embarrassment. He turned his head towards her and tried to give her one of his harshest glares. Mercy would not be granted to those who made him feel shame in front of a hottie. "Shut it, wackjob." He spat as viciously as he could. Adjusting the collar of his jacket, he turned back to Tigerstar, a little shaken but desperate to remain calm and collected.
Darkstripe was too awkward now to respond to what Tigerstar said after. He simply just shot Hollyleaf a final dirty look before following behind him quietly towards homeroom.

─────✧─────-Hollyleaf
Saying something about her being crazy had to be the absolute worst thing you could say to Hollyleaf. Upon hearing his words, she visibly tensed, her faint smile completely disappearing. "Excuse me?" If it wasn't against the rules to murder someone, Darkstripe would be dead right now. Well, depending on just how good he was at fighting her off. She was very strong, but Darkstripe wasn't exactly small, especially compared to her. "I'm surprised you can form your own thought for once, much less actually say it. Usually you just fondly repeat everything Tigerstar says, and I have to admit, I'm quite impressed. Perhaps you've finally learned how to stop being a love-struck puppy," she snapped in a sarcastic tone, a sour expression on her face as she turned to stall off. Perhaps she had overreacted, as she was sure Darkstripe probably just enjoyed getting under her skin, but she couldn't control her temper well enough yet. Beginning to curse under her breath once again, she switched directions to go to her home room, staring at the ground rather than paying attention to where she was going or if she was about to run into someone.

{Tigerstar} "I'm not saying I'm perfect," he said with a roll of his eyes "At least I get to stay inside with my addiction. You look terrible." When Darkstripe gave a twitch of a smile, the amber-eyed male took very close notice. To even see Darkstripe attempt to smile was like finding a very, very, very tiny needle in a haystack the size of the sun. Yet another thing tiger wouldn't admit, was that he liked seeing his friend smile, more or less, especially if he was the cause. He was about to say something as he was walking off, but paused when a Class B idiot decided to talk to them. Turning his head, he saw Hollyleaf, and glared over at the girl.
Why in the world would she even call someone out on something that was none of her business anyway? It made Tigerstar want to poke her in the eyes. Or poke out her eyes. Meh. This was how you thought when you were high on Pixie Stix and Gummy Bear Flakka. You didn't exactly want to be polite to people."Get lost too, while you're at it," Tigerstar added to Darkstripe's words "If we aren't looking at you first, there's no reason to even get near us." When Holly still talked, he rolled his eyes, ignoring her. Tiger felt like really jabbing her eyes out now. 'Thanks, Yellowfang,' he thought 'For your candy giving me these satisfying thoughts.' Shaking his head, he continued walking with Darkstripe, grumbling to the other guy "I don't like so many people right now, Darkstripe. And the number gets bigger every day, I swear. I'll get you over my knee if you ever become an idiot."

[ sorry! i had to go eat thanksgiving dinner with my family. ]
Darkstripe could only hope death would come swiftly. He had drawn to a halt the moment Hollyleaf had opened her stupid mouth again, and gone completely rigid and beet-red when he mentioned his companion. Why the fresh hell did he ever walk outside?! His morning had gone from pretty decent to the worst day of his life in five minutes flat. He was close to beating the living heck out of her before he remembered Tigerstar was right beside him, and would probably beat him up for being an idiot. So instead, he just stood there, angry, embarrassed, and as still as a rock. He couldn't even think of a proper response before she had gone too far away for it to matter. Darkstripe's only movement was when Tigerstar spoke. He turned his head, a tiny trace of panic in his eyes. At first, he thought Tigerstar would turn on him as well, but thankfully he didn't. Not unless there was some subtext in his words that he wasn't picking up on. Tigerstar backing him up was probably the most relieving thing he had ever felt in his entire eighteen years. More relieved than when his father made a recovery from cancer. Only when Hollyleaf was gone, though, did he begin to shuffle forward and continue along with Tiger. "I need an [effing] cigarette." He whined rather shakily to himself. He took a few deep breaths in poor attempts to calm himself. At Tiger's last comment, his brain was so scrambled up that he was very close to responding with a joke about daddy kinks. Instead, he chose not to respond. "I'm freezing my ass off out here, and people are staring at me now. Can we hurry up and get to our homeroom?" Darkstripe pleaded.

(Timeskip it is then x3) (And, Centuries, I can rp with you too if you want? Or are you fine with just one person to rp with for now? :3)
{Tigerstar} "Your fault for being out here," Tigerstar said with a glance at Darkstripe "If I can find a place to do candy drugs on campus, and Yellowfang and Bluestar can make said drugs on campus, you should be able to find a place to smoke." He didn't say much else after that though, yet Tigerstar did manage a tiny smile of his own, a barely there curve of his lips that went unnoticed unless you had been paying close attention.
Once they reached homeroom, Tigerstar looked around at the other familiar faces. Yellowfang was already there, stuffing her face with gummy bears. Anyone who knew her though, would know those bears were more than just candy. Tigerstar flicked her head as he walked past her get to his seat, snickering as she him a mess of "mean" words. The big guy rolled his eyes when she said "You can touch your pet over there, but not me. Next time I'll punch your [effing] throat and whoop your ass." Tigerstar threw an eraser at her, and Yellowfang told Darkstripe "You're hanging with a moron. You know that, right?"
"Shut up," was all Tiger had to say as he finally settled in his seat, sitting back a little bit. Sighing, he brought out his own bag of gummy bear drugs, and started munching on them, listening to everyone talk. He bent his brows when he heard some girls talking about the upcoming dance. Tigerstar was still having a massively, mentally painful debate on whether to ask Darkstripe to be his date. Grumbling slightly, he became quiet, just waiting for class to start.
