Interested in joining, but don't want to read all the posts? No problem - you can hop in at any time! If you have any questions, ask the game staff.​

​

In a dark, foggy abyss not too far from Romea, sits a magical, ancient castle. This historical citadel, residing in the mystical world of Eda (Eda is in what would be the equivalent of our middle ages, though with magic and a wide diversity of other species. Modern technology is lost in the portal there, provided your character does not already live in Eda.), has recently been re-opened as an academy for young students with peculiar abilities. Today, you are receiving an invitation to Crisis Academy. Join now, or forever regret your decision.​

(Click here for an outstanding map of Crisis Academy)​

Crisis Academy sits isolated in the center of some of nature's most beautiful but deadly elements. Around the mystical school, craggy mountains that reach for the sky tower their paths and peaks teeming with dangerous creatures and conditions. Jutting off from one of the mountains is an enormous, serene cliff, where a dazzling waterfall crashes down. Below the academy, a large and gorgeous lake lies, twisting around the school and branching off into several small rivers. Each body of water is infested with a wide diversity of different animals, varying from tadpoles to flying piranhas to full blown, frost-breathing sea monsters. A fair distance away, chaotic storm spirits find their home in dark and dreary clouds, pulling lightning, in a myriad of colors, from the ground, playing their thunderous drums, lashing at travelers with whip-like winds, and drenching whatever may be under it in a heavy sheet of rain. Across the mountains, thick forests decorate the earth with their alluring (albeit very dangerous) plants.​

Those skilled enough to overcome the numerous obstacles in their way and reach Crisis Academy are rewarded with complete acceptance into the school. The castle radiates a magical aura, leaving even the most battle-hardened veterans in awe. The academy's overpowering presence flows through the body and soul, alleviating aches, pains, and even small wounds. After the letter of invitation has been presented, the large doors swing open into...​

The Entrance Hall​

The Entrance Hall is a student's first step into the beginning of their experience at Crisis Academy, and where some may end up spending most of their time. Doves swoop through the air, delivering messages back and forth, patrolling, and keeping outside creatures at bay. Upon entrance, one of these birds will show the student to the front desk, where they'll receive their supplies (for those who attend class) and dorm keys.​

Halls​

Light always brightly shines through the glass windows, even at night when the moon light soaks the halls in an awe-inspiring glow. Many souls have passed through these halls, each footstep engraved within history itself, making the halls a centerpiece of life.​

Dining Hall​

Long red curtains drape the walls around the room, and fine dinnerware lays across the long, red table where many had eaten. The rich, blue carpet has faint footprints of the many students who have had the privilege of dining in the royal room. Plates float through the air, and the food is never served; it seemingly comes out of thin air.​

Classroom​

The classrooms vary upon the subject.​

Animal Taming Ground​

Situated just north of Crisis Academy sits the animal taming ground. The roughly carved path winds through the beginning of a fairly small mountain range and ends in a vast clearing littered with rocks. A variety of intriguing and marvelous creatures, many of whom have wandered in from surrounding areas, inhabit the training grounds. Most of these beings are docile and will not attack those passing by; however, if approached, these creatures are more than likely to become aggressive.​

School Library​

In a dark, candle lit room lies the School Library. As you walk inside, you can feel the cracked, cold stone floor under your feet. The walls are lined with large shelves, each containing an endless amount of books. With such a vast collection of wisdom, the library essentially holds all knowledge regarding any subject.​

Courtyard​

A verdant square lies between the buildings of Crisis Academy, structures visible cascading into the distance. The sun can be seen at certain hours gleaming from the polished azure globe of the castle, casting shadows onto the statues of folk long past, residing in memory. At the square's center sits a majestic fountain, its plumes of water lending an aura of serenity to this open-air retreat.​

Infirmary​

In the Infirmary, patients rest after going through any type of medical trauma. With the help of magical healing properties, the infirmary cures most ailments with no complications.​

Magic Library​

Books dance through the air, glimmering cobwebs sit in the shelf tops, and will-o-wisps hover about, illuminating every crevice of the room and leading students to . Many famous books are contained in this room, ones which date back thousands of years.​

Underground Corridor​

Beneath the academy snakes an underground corridor, the school's most unattractive feature. The entrance sits, gathering dust, beside the main stairway, while the corridor itself, seeing little to no use, has started its own collection of cobwebs, discarded torches, and illusionary skeletons to brighten things up.​

Dungeon​

The underground corridor opens up into what used to be a dungeon. Having very few visitors in decades, the dungeon took on its own will. Lonely woes and moans can be heard coming from this desolate area late at night, though the complaints are mainly due to the dungeon's magic, rather than its sole inhabitant - an enormous family of bats. A long, winding path leads to the dungeon portal, which in turn leads to the Dusk Dimension.​

Dusk Dimension​

With its entry portal sitting unguarded in Crisis Academy's dungeon, the Dusk Dimension is, by far, the safest and most bland of currently discovered universes. The sun lazily hangs in the sky, dimly illuminating the craggy surface of the land and the dull-gray mountains that rise half-heartedly from the ground. A single castle rests upon a wildly horned hill, sitting far out in the dreary lands. Mild-natured, humanoid creatures, namely elves, goblins, and a handful of surviving shades inhabit the realm, nearly all of them living a bleak and boring existence in the Dusk Dimension.​

Twilight World​

The Twilight World is the realm of every single spec of every single thing to ever reside in the shadows. The world is accessed only by Shades and other darkly-natured creatures. The dry, deceased land is dimly lit and emanates a strong aura of death itself. Due to the demonic and deadly nature of the realm, it falls behind only the Chrono Realm in terms of danger. Its inhabitants attack anyone and anything, living or nonliving, and persist until the prey or they themselves have fallen out of the state of living. The world is, rather was, ruled by a young, merciless Shade, who seized control as a test of power. Merely by sitting on the empty thrown, which rests upon the tallest pillar in the realm, he instilled fear and balance into the very land itself, and shortly after abandoned the desolate world.​

Chrono Realm​

The Chrono Realm is the strangest and most twisted of all dimensions. It appears to be the point where time, space, light, and dark all come together in a chaotic clash. The laws of physics are shattered, logic is decimated, and reason becomes morphed into obscenity. Magic seeps from every pore in this strange world, making even the most mundane of things seem extraterrestrial. Out of this, very little is known about the Chrono Realm, as those who have managed to get there often return, if they return, broken and ingrained deep into the bowels of insanity. The only known entrance sits in the deepest chamber of Crisis Academy, guarded by thousands upon thousands of spells, traps, monsters, and other great dangers.​

Mystic Lake*​

Underneath the rocky cliff that lifts Crisis Academy into the sky lies the mesmerizing Mystic Lake. Beams of light from the setting sun bounce off of its crystal-clear surface and break apart, creating a stunning display of shimmering blue lights. Naiads dance under the show's spectacular spotlight, attempting to lure curious students into the water's mysterious depths, in which thrive a plethora of multi-specied beasts, ranging from rainbow-colored koi to the great, white serpent. While the sight is astonishing, it is recommended to stay out of the water.​

Crisis Mountains*​

Surrounding the mystical academy is one of the world's strongest fortresses - the Crisis Mountains. Imbued with naturally occurring magic, developed to defend itself from ill-natured inhabitants and explorers, the mountain range is nearly invulnerable to any attacks from the outside and inside, making it a perfect location for the Academy to thrive in without worries of enemy ambush or invasion. Its craggy peaks tower over all before them and cast a shadow on the mysterious lands beneath. A twisted and narrow path snakes its way through the monstrous mountains. Travelers need be wary of the Crevice Spiders, the aggressive arachnids who equal the flying reptiles atop the crown in terms of size and strength, as well as the rumored demon, who supposedly dwells in a cave near the exit. Far above, dragons soar through the air over the rocky summits where they build their nests. These creatures, while majestic, have no hesitation in slaughtering those who dare to trespass through their domain, usually killing their unfortunate victims with just one blast of their scorching flames or one slice of their scythe-like claws. Far beneath, branching off from the Mystic Lake, winds a rushing river with one of the most powerful currents throughout the continent. The quick-moving body of water drains out into the Romean Lake, which sits just by the bustling town of Romea.​

Waterfall Cliff​

The Waterfal Cliff is one of the most magical and serene places that surrounds Crisis Academy. The water from the Mystic Lake rushes through one of its many river branches. The water travels upwards with a magical momentum, and crashes down back into the lake through a large crevice that divides the waterfall cliff from the exit of the Guardian's Valley.​

Guardian's Valley*​

A great stretch of land away from Crisis Academy sits the entrance to the Guardian's Valley. Two elegantly-carved statues jut out from the rock walls that line the extravagantly blooming, grass path. They sit across from each other, each wearing a crown atop their heads and holding a royal staff in hand. The ancient stone that makes up their bodies radiates the purest kind of magic. Under control of the valley's guardian, the pair guard the entrance, letting only those they deem worthy of entrance pass by them. Any creature with ill-intent towards the valley or what lies beyond meets the unfortunate fate of a brawl with the stone-strong duo. Granted with movement from the waist and up, the guardians attack with their long-reaching battle staves or nearby boulders, impaling or crushing their prey with great precision. Those deemed worthy or those who possess the raw skill to pass through the twins' rocky rampage are rewarded the sheer beauty of the valley. Everywhere one looks there always seems to be a myriad of blooming flowers or sparkling stone.

Lightning Field*
Storm spirits gather before the great Crisis Mountains, raining down brilliant bolts of lightning from the murky, gray clouds in which they reside. The Lightning Field is a dark and desolate place that, since the arrival of its chaotic inhabitants hundreds of years ago, has never witnessed the light of day. While providing the shortest and most accessible path to the academy, it is by far the most dangerous. One must take the risk passing under of the storm spirits that prance around in the clouds above them, as they find their entertainment in launching lightning bolts at travelers. An individual should also be wary of the various creatures that live there, such as the thunder mice or the tempest wolves. It is advised not to anger the storm spirits, as their physical being is composed of nothing but electricity.​

Pax Forest​

The Pax Forest is a dense jungle that ultimately defies space. Undiscovered creatures lurk in its shadows and are often the study of much research by numerous scientists who wish to reveal the secrets it holds. Contorted paths hidden by layers of wayward undergrowth make up the forest's ground, and the towering dense trees crowd out the sky. Animal life mocks that of an undersea world, and is the only place on Earth that such creatures can be observed. Its unique gravitational force, spellbinding creatures, and its mystical environment create a forest unlike any other.

Pax Mountain
These seemingly infinite chains of floating mountains are shrouded in a thick fog at the edge of Pax Forest. The rich land and pure, unpolluted water that flow off the mountain's sharp cliffs make it a dangerous site, but also an opportunity to curious adventurers who wish to exploit its many secrets. Sharp mountain peaks provide spectacular views, and because the mountains are always moving across the mesosphere, temperatures are often below zero. Different types of unique plant life are able to thrive in these conditions, however, and nine times out of ten, a never before seen creature can be spotted. Data on Pax Mountain is very scarce, but multiple variations on legends passed down by many tribes in the region tell of brave warriors who planned to find and defeat a fabled behemoth or the mysterious Pax Castle, but no evidence suggests that these brave heroes made it out alive.

Pax's Castle
Only existent in folklore spread by the many tribes that follow the teachings of the long dead dictator, King Pax, Pax's Castle is said to be atop the tallest peak on Pax Mountain. Legends say that Pax's Castle is surrounded by many perilous cliffs and mountain peaks that are imbued with an unseen dark magic. They say castle itself is guarded by a multi-headed dragon, the Ladon. Often hidden in a blanket of fog from the clouds that's haunt the stronghold's existence, and a mountainous path spirals up to the top to over-sized gates made of stone that warn anyone who nears. The castle is said to be made primarily of stone with the exception of the towers made of black crystals, imported from the deepest depths of Hell. The main building that supports the towers are formed into the shapes of horns, and release a strong celestial field that spreads across the region, protecting it from warriors, searching for the fortress. Many say the castle doesn't even exist and that it's just a mere myth, but others insist that the Apple of Discord, a stairway to heaven, or even a gate to Hell lies within the ruined castle, and the answers to life are just a corridor away.

Pax Academy Ruins
The ruins that still stand today still give off an ominous aura that suggests the academy itself had an undying energy built inside its walls. Columns of pure marble stretch up towards the sky and inscriptions of some sort are written on the walls that still remain standing have been left untouched for thousands of years. Why the academy is no longer standing and what happened to the thousands of students that attended this noble school are questions left unanswered, but perhaps they're better left that way...

Skull Break Ruins
Lost in the hazardous cliffs of Crisis Mountains is the Skull Break Ruins. Many century of constant erosion caused the once magnificent Skull Break Castle to crumble and is now a popular training spot for many heroes who wish to grow stronger. Some pillars chiseled from stone remain standing while others have fallen, creating a dangerous to unsuspecting travelers and the sturdy remains of the grand architecture have become unreliable and fragile. With the roof and much of the flooring on the upper grounds ruined, sunlight is able to shine on its interior, allowing small trees and vegetation to sprout up from beneath the rubble. Below the area is a dark sprawling dungeon where many deadly beasts like to lurk, including the dangerous troll. The Skull Break dungeons are connected to a set of unnamed caverns that run below the Crisis Mountains and to the waterfall cliffs, but they are seldom traveled on. Though not much activity is known to happen at night, abnormally sized wild wolves are not an uncommon sight during the late midnight hours.

Tsuki Shai Castle
The Tsuki Shai Castle is located deep within the mountains of the waterfall cliffs. The outer walls of the Tsuki Shai Castle are always bathed in golden light, regardless of the time of day. A narrow dirt path surrounded by nothing but a death-defying drop off into sharp rocks leads up to the colossal doors of the fortress, and the towers it bears reach for the clouds not too far above. Flocks of doves are often seen flying around the castle's perimeter, watching out for any uninvited guests. Most of the castle is shrouded in a thick white mist, creating a spectacular scene for the imagination. Stories about the castle are always prevalent, but nothing more than fairy tales ever emerge about the fort. Nobody has been able to enter the castle, escape it, and live to tell the tale, but it's been around for as long as anyone can remember.

Blackwind Town
Only a few miles away from Crisis Academy, Blackwind Town has evolved into a massive city after thousands of years of economic, geographic, and population growth. Gothic styled structures used for successful businesses are made of unearthly ores and make up the bulk of the city while smaller residential buildings take up the city's outskirts. The dark streets and allies are often hazy with the release of toxins a common occurrence from nearby factories. Blackwind town is home to over thirteen-thousand beings, magical and non-magical alike. The Blackwind Observatory is one of the metropolis's main attractions, being home to the most powerful telescope around. Capable of going past the farthest galaxies, the telescope is powerful enough to see other worlds and dimensions. Immulius, the city's ruler, has been in control of Blackwind Town since it was first founded more than two-hundred centuries ago, but no one has ever paid much attention to it. The whole town has been at peace for as long as he been around, and for that, forever grateful. But recent sightings of some sort of creature, followed by the disappearance of twelve people have left people concerned about their future ahead.

Romea
A small, cozy country town full of farms, houses, shops, and snaking rivers that snake throughout the area. Dirt roads are a prominent feature in the town, along with the many houses positioned on the steep hills. Watermills take advantage of the constantly flowing water provided by the rivers flowing down from the Crisis Mountains. Lush green trees are a common sight, giving the impression that this town is undeveloped and isolated from the outside world. Not many eventful things are known to happen in this sleepy town full of ordinary humans, but word is the village was founded by a powerful otherworldly being. Though it is situated a considerable distance from Crisis Academy, Romea is the closest town around inhabited by solely humans.​

NPCs:​

Name: Emereth Elmore
Age: 32
Ability: Headmaster Emereth has an ability classified as legendary by top scholars across the globe. Receiving the exceptional power to rearrange the atoms of her body to change states, Emereth can become any of the three forms of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Such a technique often leaves her adversaries off guard, transforming into the ghostly state of an invisible vapor or becoming nothing but an untouchable fluid. With her strategic mind and her resourceful tactics, Emereth can easily confound and kill her enemies simply by creating the most ingenious of traps.
Profession: Headmaster​

Name: Xavier Zalandra
Age: 24
Ability: Xavier is acknowledged by many as one of the greatest magicians in the world, being able to perform some of the most difficult and powerful spells known throughout Eda. While he is the only member of the Crisis Academy staff without a unique and naturally-gained power, he is one of the strongest, falling short of only Emereth. Xavier, like all other magicians, is able to freely manipulate the magic energy within his body, though he is one of the very few who can channel and externalize this ability without any sort of medium. Along with this, he is the only known creature able to use all known types of magic with great expertise, despite his energy's alignment with fire. This is a truly remarkable feat, as even the best of mages cannot stray far from their energy's element.
Professions: Deputy Headmaster & Magic Teacher​

Name: Helios Ouranos (to the right, holding the sword and lantern)​

Age: 23
Ability: Helios, named after the sun, and his sibling, Luna, fall behind only Emereth in terms of strength. Helio's ability is energy conversion; he steals lightning from the skies and fashions them into arrows, shifts flames into blades, and materializes heat into whatever his heart may desire. He has a heart of gold and combat proficiency that exceeds even Ava's.
Profession: Headmaster's Consultant​

Name: Luna Ouranos (to the left, holding the staff and wearing the mask)
Age: 23
Ability: Luna, named after the moon, opposite of his brother, can convert matter into energy, making him as potent a threat as his sibling. He makes rocks crumble into flame, trees crackle into lightning, and even dissolve man into nothing but a pocket of heat. His combat prowess is as frightening as his sibling's, if not more so. With a will of iron and an undying loyalty to his headmaster, he lets nothing stand in the way of Emereth.
Profession: Headmaster's Consultant​

Name: Simon Gewanter (on left)​

Age: 22​

Abilities: Simon is a kind receptionist of Crisis Academy and the brother of the other receptionist, Suri. Simon never forgets a face, which really helps with his occupation. Once Simon has seen someone's face, he can visualize that person's location within his mind. Usually seen with his eyes closed, Simon monitors the students' whereabouts. With Simon as a receptionist, it'll be difficult for students to create mischief!​

Profession: Receptionist​

Name: Suri Gewanter (on right)​

Age: 24​

Abilities: Suri is the sister of Simon. Quiet and calculative, Suri never forgets a person's voice once she hears it. She uses this gift to monitor the speech of students. Remembering a person's voice, she can pick up on what that person is saying, regardless of their location. She and her brother often work together to monitor students.​

Profession: Receptionist​

Name: Kira Kalkofen
Age: 28
Abilities: Kira is intelligent and intimidating. Being a staff member at Crisis Academy, of course, means that this talented nurse has a special ability. Having a unique singing voice, her eerie but catchy melodies can magically heal minor injuries and sicknesses. Despite looking intimidating, Kira is willing to help anyone in need. ​

Professions: Nurse & Remedies Teacher​

Name: Karayan Black
Age: Unknown
Ability: Shrouded in mystery, Karayan Black is one of the most arcane members of the Crisis Academy staff. His replete control over nearly any metal grants his unorthodox body, crafted from titanium alloy, movement, and allows him to reshape metallic objects any way he pleases. Often fighting with the two tentacle-like spears sprouting from his back, the doctor makes a fearsome opponent, even being able to puncture neat, perfectly round holes in diamond.
Profession: Doctor​

Name: Ava Cybil
Age: 29
Ability: Ava possesses the rare ability to manipulate and control the wind. The currents of air she manipulates are often used to control her enemies and render them helpless, stuck in a whirlwind strong enough to pull them in two. Often times, the gusts let loose from her body are so strong, a severe tornado may form that can leave the opponent devastated. With her gales being ferocious enough to sever boulders and even some types of metal in two, her unique power makes her a terrifying enemy.
Profession: Combat Teacher​

Name: Zane Xal​

Age: 17
Ability: Zane's strength lies within his sharp mind and ability to summon nearly any type of potion or ingredient seemingly from thin air. His physical body is a concoction of rare and even unheard of elements, which he can release, control, and combine at will. Zane is often regarded as a boy genius, having become a teacher and nearly fighting Ava to a standstill at the age of 13. His wit falls only slightly lower than Mr. Blue
Profession: Potions Teacher

Name: Serena Sidara
Age: 26
Ability: Serena was blessed with an intriguing and marvelous pair of talents. Her voice is heard, understood, and responded to by all living beings, from elves to fish to trees. Even the most ferocious of dragons swoon at the songs of, as she's commonly called, nature's daughter. Water flows, jumps, and dances with just a flick of her finger, and waves crash at her command.
Profession: Animal Taming Teacher​

Name: Elwood Sidara
Age: 22
Ability: Elwood, the younger brother of Serena Sidara, was born with an ability that forms a set with his sister's. His golden voice allows him to fluently communicate with the inanimate, and they back to him; though, this power does not extend to the deceased. With a touch of his hand, he grants life to even the most inanimate of things. Due to his ability, he is very rarely lacks knowledge about any on-goings around him, and seems to always be prepared. Elwood's most prized possession is his whip, as, unlike any other thing affected by his gift, it is capable of emotion. He is never seen without it.
Profession: Field Training Teacher​

Name: Tyler Cyton
Age: 34
Ability: Tyler's relaxed and easy-going nature allows him to adapt to nearly any situation with no troubles and grants him the privilege of getting along with nearly everyone, including Time itself. With a snap of a finger, he can reverse, slow, or even stop time entirely. Though he usually uses this ability for research, he can turn it into the most potent of weapons in only a second. Tyler fights with hand to hand combat, and uses an 'arrow' technique where he punctures his enemy with only his finger.​

Profession: Math Teacher​

Name: Skyler Blue​

Age: 27
Ability: Skyler has a mind completely in sync with the Interealm, a realm of nothing but vast knowledge, and the environment. This combination gives him an infinite pool of information at his disposal which can be used to his advantage in multiple ways. Even though science is his forte, his combat skills are high above par. Mr. Blueu can control space and distort reality to create illusions. These deceptions are more than just tricks, however, as they are known to effect atoms in dangerous ways that can lead up to a destruction of matter itself.
Profession: Science Teacher

Name: Alyssa Moon
Age: 150
Ability: Mrs. Moon's past is as perplexing as her powers. No one knows for sure what kinds of power she wields, whether it's light or dark, water or fire. All they know is that it's spellbinding and powerful, capable of splitting anything she commands her blade to cut. Her scythe is as strong as her soul, shattering the thin line between life and death as well as dreams and reality.
Profession: Literature Teacher

Name: Daj Wilder
Age: 29
Ability: Daj's heart of stone is as strong as his fists. Exceptionally talented in hand-to-hand combat, Daj is so strong, he can punch through steel and his legs can carry him so high, he can clear a forty-floor skyscraper. His callused fingers can read whatever they touch, be it another beings thoughts or an inanimate object's past, not matter how long. Even though he cannot travel through time directly, he has enough knowledge that could make others guess otherwise.
Profession: History Teacher​

Name: Yasmine Seraphina
Age: Unknown
Ability: Given the nickname "daughter of demise" by her colleagues and fellow friends, Yasmine Seraphina is among the greatest warriors in the world, if not the universe. Her sword, forged from an ethereal essence found only in the core of a black hole, can cut and quickly reflect almost anything that it comes into contact with. Her elegant movements that she executes with only the best of precision are devilish and can be compared to a sophisticated ballet, danced only by demons.
Profession: Art Teacher​

Name: Aysen Kilbas
Age: 36
Ability: Aysen's strong point is his outstanding ability to properly prepare and deliver a full-course meal for twenty in just under five minutes. Having spent most of his life cooking for his enormous groups, he has developed an incredible knack for whipping up food, and due to his fiery talent of teleportation, his meals are never served cold or eaten late. Aysen is a master of the element of fire, and, taking the phrase "at the speed of light" literally, has built on his power to the point where he can transfer anything he chooses to any given location faster than the blink of an eye.
Professions: Chef & Cullinary Arts Teacher​

Name: Cairn Gladstone​

Age: 23​

Ability: Cairn is the powerful blacksmith of Crisis Academy. Though he'd rather spend his time alone with his smithing tools, he is kind to every student and willing to help out whenever he can. Cairn never complains or gives up and has a charming smile, which causes many female students to become infatuated with him. Cairn has the special ability to control gravity. Being able to control gravity, Cairn can lift any object with ease and even keep an object or enemy floating in place by decreasing the amount of gravity around that enemy or object. By intensifying gravity, he can make it difficult to move a person or object.​

A lot of the time someone goes to join Crisis Academy, they look at the character skeleton, decide it's too complicated, and change their mind about joining. Other times, they fill out the forms, but ask me what to do for every other thing because, hell, it's not that clear. So, I'm making this brief 'tutorial' on how to make a character.

To begin, let's take a quick look at the character profile.
Name:
Username:
Dorm #:​

Age:
Appearance:
Race:
Pet:

Attribute:
Element:
Powers:
Bio:
Theme Song (Optional):

If you're like most people, you probably didn't understand quite a few of those areas, but that's what the tutorial is for. Now, here's the part where I go piece by piece and explain this to you, only for you guys to say I suck and to suck your ego. Well, here you go...

Name: This is the name of your character. Not your name, however, it can be if you want it to. Keep in mind, in order to change your name, you have to write a part where it happens in the story, and also notify Barry and I.

Username: This one is pretty obvious - you just put your username (on this site) in case your character profile somehow gets lost.​

Dorm #: The dorm number of the dorm your character lives in. You cannot have the same dorm as someone else on the single dorms, but you can be with ONE other person. The DOUBLE dorms can have only two people, no more.​

Class Schedule: These are the classes your character will be taking. Actually attending the classes is entirely optional, but signing up for them is a requirement. Students do receive grades, though they mean little.​

Age: This is also somewhat obvious. It's your character's age.

Appearance: Your character's physical appearance, everything from a basic description of your character's sexiness/ugliness to a magnificently detailed description.

Race: No, not white, hispanic, African American, etc. This is the species of your character! Skin color belongs in the Appearance category.

Pet: Your character's pet, if they have one. You can have up to two pets, if you're a veteran.

Pet Powers: Any powers your pet may have, be as creative as you want!

Attribute: This is the one that gets most people, but it's really quite simple. Is your character good, bad, evil, in between, etc.? That's what we're looking for with this category!

Element: Your character's primary element, pretty self explanatory.

Powers: Ah, finally. Where your true creativity shines. Go all out with this, it's fairly simple! Just list your character's powers and also weapons! Be creative!

Bio: Another place to be creative. Your character's bio is their back story.

Theme Song (Optional): This one is probably most obvious of all. Your character's theme song. You don't have to have one, it's just if you want one.​

 

RULES:​

1. Write in 3rd person.​

2. No killing or crippling (cutting off limbs, taking away powers, etc.) of NPCs or others' characters without their permission.​

3. Swearing IS allowed, but keep it PG-13​

4. No cheating. This includes (but not limited to):​

>Use of weapons/powers not included in your original profile or that your character spontaneously obtained.​

>Exaggerated or unreasonable powers/weapons; i.e. flames over a thousand degrees,​

>Invulnerability is strictly prohibited.​

>Immortality must have a minimum of 5 exceptions, then be approved by a Crisis Academy game staff.​

>Dual elements are not allowed unless you have been given (without asking) permission from game staff or unless you are a Crisis Academy game staff (these characters have less strict power limits). If you prove to be a competent roleplayer who shows a genuine knowledge of what you're doing, you may be granted permission.​

5. You cannot have a character that is crossbred with an animal, unless they are a centaur or satyr.​

6. Use "((()))" to write outside of the Role Play, like this: "(((You can write like this outside of the text)))"​

7. Do not write with * to do an action. Write out the action.​

8. Write "Crisis Academy is beautiful." so that we know you read the rules.​

9. This isn't a story, so you don't have to title your parts or break it apart!​

10. Use proper grammar.​

11. Do not purposefully bypass another player's post unless you deem it as cheating (in this case, report it to a Role Playing Moderator).​

12. Do not delete your own or another person's posts without permission from a game staff. This can alter the events of the Role Play, and your action will count as cheating.​

14. Post your completed character skeleton in the proper thread.​

15. Only one pet per character. Two pets are only allowed to game staff.​

16. You may have two characters; however, you must abide by the following guidelines:​

> Your characters cannot be related.​

> Your characters cannot be love interests of each other.​

> Your characters cannot be the same species.​

> Your characters cannot have the same abilities.​

> Your characters cannot share the same dorm.​

> If one of your characters is fighting another player and you bring your second character in to help them so it's two-on-one without the other player's consent, it will be considered godmodding and you'll need to edit your post or it will be removed.​

17. Do not control NPCs without permission from the game staff.​

18. Posts must be at least three paragraphs, each consisting of a minimum of five sentences. This is a total of 15 sentences per post. This may seem daunting, but if the staff can do it, so can you.​

19. Do not submit unfinished posts to be edited later.​

20. Dress your characters for the time era. This doesn't mean you're required to wear a suit of armor and such; it simply means that there aren't any modern clothes yet (jeans, converse, brand-name sneakers, band shirts, etc. - those sorts of things aren't yet invented and therefore aren't allowed).​

21. Your character must be completely original. They may not be from a franchise.​

22. Your character may have a maximum of three weapons on them at a time. Any more than this must be stored in the student's dorm or the school's armory.​

TIPS​

• Being a "chosen one" does not grant you any other powers or more significant strength than any of the other students. As such, it is recommended to avoid using titles similar to these.
• Use sensory details (sight, hearing, taste, touch, smell).
• Include your character's verbal and non-verbal responses to situations
  > Satix's stomach churned.
  > "That's not swaggy," He murmured.
• Show - don't tell.
  > "No," Satix said angrily.
  - V.S. -
  > Satix pressed his lips together tightly. His hands balled into shaky fists. "No."
• MRUs - Motivation-Reaction Units (Definitely recommend taking the time to read this next bit)
  
  
  Spoiler

  "The Motivation is objective but it is something that your character can see (or hear or smell or taste or feel). You will write this in such a way that your reader also sees it (or hears it or smells it or tastes it or feels it). You will then start a new paragraph in which your POV character does one or more things in Reaction to the Motivation. There is an exact sequence you must follow in writing your Reaction. The sequence is based on what is physiologically possible. Note that the Motivation is external and objective. The Reaction is internal and subjective. If you do this, you create in your reader the powerful illusion that he is experiencing something real. Now let's break this down into more detail . . .
  
  The Motivation is external and objective, and you present it that way, in objective, external terms. You do this in a single paragraph. It does not need to be complicated.
  
  Here is a simple example:
  
  The tiger dropped out of the tree and sprang toward Jack.
  
  Note the key points here. This is objective. We present the Motivation as it would be shown by a videocamera. Nothing here indicates that we are in Jack's point of view. That comes next, but in the Motivation we keep it simple and sharp and clean.
  
  The Reaction is internal and subjective, and you present it that way, exactly as your POV character would experience it – from the inside. This is your chance to make your reader be your POV character. To repeat myself, this must happen in its own paragraph (or sequence of paragraphs). If you leave it in the same paragraph as the Motivation, then you risk whip-sawing the reader. Which no reader enjoys.
  
  The Reaction is more complex than the Motivation. The reason is that it is internal, and internal processes happen on different time-scales. When you see a tiger, in the first milliseconds, you only have time for one thing – fear. Within a few tenths of a second, you have time to react on instinct, but that is all it will be – instinct, reflex. But shortly after that first reflexive reaction, you will also have time to react rationally, to act, to think, to speak. You must present the full complex of your character's reactions in this order, from fastest time-scale to slowest. If you put them out of order, then things just don't feel right. You destroy the illusion of reality. And your reader won't keep reading because your writing is "not realistic." Even if you got all your facts right.
  
  Here is a simple example:
  
  A bolt of raw adrenaline shot through Jack's veins. He jerked his rifle to his shoulder, sighted on the tiger's heart, and squeezed the trigger. "Die, you bastard!"
  
  Now let's analyze this. Note the three parts of the Reaction:
  
  Feeling: "A bolt of raw adrenaline shot through Jack's veins." You show this first, because it happens almost instantly.
  Reflex: "He jerked his rifle to his shoulder . . ." You show this second, as a result of the fear. An instinctive result that requires no conscious thought.
  Rational Action and Speech: ". . . sighted on the tiger's heart, and squeezed the trigger. 'Die, you bastard!'" You put this last, when Jack has had time to think and act in a rational way. He pulls the trigger, a rational response to the danger. He speaks, a rational expression of his intense emotional reaction.
  It is legitimate to leave out one or two of these three parts. (You can't leave out all three or you have no Reaction.) But there is one critical rule to follow in leaving parts out: Whatever parts you keep in must be in the correct order. If there is a Feeling, it must come first. If there is a Reflex, it must never come before a Feeling. If there is some Rational Action, it must always come last. This is simple and obvious and if you follow this rule, your Reactions will be perfectly structured time after time.
  
  And after the Reaction comes . . . another Motivation. This is the key. You can't afford to write one perfect MRU and then be happy. You've got to write another and another and another. The Reaction you just wrote will lead to some new Motivation that is again external and objective and which you will write in its own paragraph. Just to continue the example we've created so far:
  
  The bullet grazed the tiger's left shoulder. Blood squirted out of the jagged wound. The tiger roared and staggered, then leaped in the air straight at Jack's throat.
  
  Note that the Motivation can be complex or it can be simple. The only requirement is that it be external and objective, something that not only Jack can see and hear and feel but which any other observer could also see and hear and feel, if they were there.
  
  The important thing is to keep the alternating pattern. You write a Motivation and then a Reaction and then another Motivation and then another Reaction. When you run out of Motivations or Reactions, your Scene or Sequel is over. Don't run out too soon. Don't drag on too long.
  
  Write each Scene and Sequel as a sequence of MRUs. Any part of yourScene or Sequel which is not an MRU must go. Cut it ruthlessly. Show no mercy. You can not afford charity for a single sentence that is not pulling its weight. And the only parts of your scene that pull their weight are the MRUs. All else is fluff."

(((Very nice posts! I've added a rule and expanded a tiny bit upon Crisis Academy's description in the main post. If you have already posted with your character in a different world than Eda, the portals some, if not all, of you have incorporated in your posts can take you to Eda.)))
