The Two Academies

[Zackirus]

Hello Everyone. This is the newest RP on the forum: The Two Academies or TTA.

Back Story

[spoiler]
See this RP takes place 20 years after Shadow War. Now the first question is probably, which side won? Well both! See what happened was that as soon as the Hero killed Nelis, so much power was released it rewound time itself. It rewound to the time the Hero made his decision on whether to fight the Hero fought for or against the queen. However, the blast was so powerful it broke of the time line and created two separate realities. One time line, where the hero decided to remain loyal to the Shadowlings, while the other time line, is where the hero betrays the Shadowlings. Now you must also say that when the hero defeated Nelis the second time, it should have rewound time back to the choice, but here is the catch, the power released affected the other dimension instead of time. Now only time will tell what will happen to the two dimensions as the power released still lingers within both...

Side Note: Psy Academy was destroyed in the HL (Human's Lose or Dean Dead) dimension but 10 years after the war the Shadowlings rebuilt it and now they send the most powerful Psys in Cera Bella to it (no matter race) for training to become leaders of their armies. While in the SL (Shadowling's Lose or Nelis Dead) dimension Psy Academy is still accepting students (any race) into their halls for training of Psy abilities.

Character Story

[spoiler]
Now with creating the character in this RP it is a little different. See you do create a normal character but that character will exist in both dimensions. Now here is the catch and where to have some fun with this, your character can (it doesn't have to) act differently because of the influence of Shadowlings or not, basically it is like creating two characters. You can control them separately and choice to alienate one of the other  

Now rules with the characters are no god moulding or powers. Your powers are set to being in your cape level: Red, Blue, and Black. However, no player is allowed to be a teacher or White Cape because of the amount of power they have and it is unfair to lower Capes. Also unless your character finds out about the other dimension, YOUR CHARACTER HAS NO INIDICATION THAT THE OTHER DIMENISION EXTISTS (I want to stress that point). Also limited character controls, don't do any to radical, and try to be a nice person (to other players) meaning don't kill them randomly. Other than that have fun, explore Psy Academy, read books, interact with NPCs, learn abilities, drink beer and gamble, get a girlfriend/boyfriend, go on trips to the Deeper Downs and Somnus, and skip classes (if you dare!).

Duskling
[spoiler]Shadowlings Lose:

Name: Frex
Race: Human
Class: Psy Fighter
Affinity: Fire
Skill: Higher than a Blue Cape, but not Black Cape.
Bio: Frex had a good life, for the most of it anyway, because the Shadow War had ended shortly before his sixteenth birthday, thus allowing him to hone his abilities at the Psy Academy in relative peace, making it much easier, but some front-end experience would've helped. He had a loving family which had supported him, and helped him in his studies. With their help, he surpassed the level of Blue Cape, but the Dean of the Academy had decided he was not yet fit to train as a Black Cape. Frex accepted the Dean's decision, but didn't feel he had much more to learn as a Blue Cape and was eager to ascend to the rank of Black Cape.
Equipment: His mind, and an old bow he uses to have fun or for practice.
Skills: Strong Pyro Blast, hardly developed Pyro Hail, and a moderate-leveled Mind Blast.


Humans Lose

Name: Frex
Race: Human
Class: Mercenary
Affinity: Cryo
Bio: Frex's life was miserable, for the most part, with the destruction of the Psy Academy a short time before his sixteenth birthday, he could only go to private, expensive, hidden Psy instructors. Though not much time was spent studying, but, if front-end experience helped, there was plenty of it, what with all the Shadowlings leaving no rock unturned looking for Psys. Shortly after the destruction of the Academy, Frex's family had been slaughtered by Shadowlings in a brutal and merciless fashion which had left them distracted enough to give Frex enough time to get away. With his family gone, Frex's emotions were fading as well, he had become hard, and realized the world for what it really was, a test, a test to see how well one can survive. Using the money he had been given in case his parents died and he was left on his own, Frex had found a private trainer by the name of Senz, who was proficient, and not too expensive. After many months of private tutoring, Frex had nearly perfected his Cryo Blast, his Mind Blast, and had just begun to show signs of being able to use Cryo Cross. After his training, he became a mercenary, and earned a living collecting gold for the destruction of Shadowling encampments, sentry posts, and sometimes some small fortresses. Even with his abilities, he still comes by and trains with Senz.
Equipment: His mind, a crossbow which he uses while sniping, and a dagger for close combat.
Skills: Strong Cryo Blast, strong Mind Blast, and barely developed Cryo Cross.

Name: Bob
Race: Human
Class: Psy Fighter
Affinity: Cyro
Skill: Has the skill of about a blue cape
Bio: Bob was raised far away from the Psy academy, and only learned of its existence recently.

Bob misses his family, and prefers to keep to himself for the most part. He doesn't make too many friends, but he is loyal to the ones he has. Once he gets to know someone, he can be very friendly.

His family was killed by a shadowling a few days after the first psy academy was destroyed. Bob managed to kill the shadowling with his mental powers and his father's knife. More shadowlings arrived, and considered killing him, but in the end decided to keep him alive due to his impressive abilities. As a result of his past experience, Bob is very distrustful, especially of shadowlings. However, he does realize that some are not as bad as others after hearing them debate on killing him. He spends most of his time in thought, analyzing his surroundings and making judgments about people. He doesn't make too many friends, but he is loyal to the ones he has. Bob misses his family very much, but suppresses the emotions to keep himself functional, and to not look weak to the shadowlings. He makes very few friends, if any, but is loyal to the people he considers friends, or respects.
Equipment: His mind, and a really sharp knife
Skills: Mind Blast, shadow resistance, dark shield, knife, stab. Working on shadow blast. Fairly stealthy, but not due to any psy abilities. Despite his limited ability, he is a capable fighter due to having really good survival instinct.

Shadoroq
[spoiler]
Shadowlings Lose Dimension:

Name: Noxus
Race: Shadowling
Class: Psy Fighter of skill comparable to a senior blue cape, but not quite a black cape
Affinity: Dark
Bio: Noxus is a very active and energetic young Shadowling with a taste for combat. He had been in the Shadowling Army since about 15 years after death of Queen Nelis. Though he enjoyed his career as a soldier, the Shadowling Republic had not been actively engaged in any conflict (outside of itself, that is) since the end of the Shadow War. Sick of the lack of opportunity for rank advancement (having been only a first lieutenant for years) and generally bored with life, he decides to seek out the Psy Academy to improve his skill. After all, they were accepting applicants of all races now.
Equipment: military grade weaponry, a set of bouncy balls he can't seem to stop fiddling with.
Skills: Mind blast, shadow blast, basic comprehension of shadow port, spear

Human's Lose Dimension:

Name: Noxus
Race: Shadowling
Class: Tactician
Affinity: Dark
Bio: Noxus is, or rather, was, a very active and energetic young Shadowling with a taste for combat. But that person died a long time ago. After being drafted into the Shadowling Imperial Army at an exceptionally early age just 10 years after the destruction of the Psy Academy, he was exposed to the ruthlessness of war for several years. Because of this he'd already taken to a magenta shade. He found his skill set more in military strategy than actual combat and found himself rising the ranks very quickly, attaining the rank of major in only 10 years. His most recent order was to the Psy Academy. He had little idea why he was needed there, but it was probably something to do with protecting the dean.
Equipment: military grade weaponry, a stress ball which he uses all too often.
Skills: Mind blast, Shadow blast, Feedback
[/spoiler]

Gath
[spoiler]
Shadowlings Lose Dimension:

Name: Ben Archid
Race: Human
Class: Psy Assassin (Black Cape)
Affinity: Shadow
Bio: Ben is one of the few Psy to have an affinity for shadow. He learned about it during one of his many trips to the 'Barracks' in Somnus, one of his favorite locations. He earned his black cape last year, and is looking to graduate this year. He's starting this semester late because he felt he needed some real experience, and Darkling, a friend of his, managed to get him a job with the Helenites.
Equipment: Himself. His mind is his only weapon.
Skills: A weak mind blast and mind shield, powerful shadow blast, and moderatly-powered Feedback. He's been working on Shadowporting in his spare time.


Humans Lose Dimension:

Name: Ben Archid
Race: Human
Class: Psy Fighter (Black Cape)
Affinity: Light
Bio: Ben is one of the best students at the academy, and is already being considered for leadership positions. He's starting the semester late because he was sent to join General Darkeye on a few missions against the spriggats. He enjoys strategic thought of any kind, and cares little about which side he's on. Some consider him a Shadowling Loyalist, and a traitor to the humans, but he has no preference either way.
Equipment: He has too much pride to be caught using anything but his mind.
Skills: A weak mind blast, medium mind shield, powerful light blast, and medium Feedback. He's trying to develop a light bomb, but hasn't succeeded yet.

[TheWanderingShadow]

Awwww, can I still keep mine? I mean, there can be duplicates, right?

[bugfartboy]

Yes. But only if you admit that having a bug body was a cool idea and that I am a Lord of Darkness. But what are the thoughts of mine?

[Zackirus]

Name: The Shadow (he prefers not to tell people his real name, John.)
Race: Human
Class: Psy assasin, Black cape
Affinity: Shadow
Bio: John is very shy, preferring to stay hidden in a corner. He is normally polite and kind. In battle, though, he is ruthless and won't quit until the job is done...
He is an orphan raised by a white cape named Ben.
Equipment: His dagger and a book (he's quite studious).
Skills: shadow blast, feedback, knife, stab.

Is this right?

Yes it is except you need to say how John is different in the SL dimension (I am assuming that he is an orphan [in the HL dimension] because the shadowlings killed his parents). Maybe in the SL dimension he is a open and likes to be in the spotlight and uses light based attacks (see where I am going)

Just a reminder to everyone: Your character (unless a good reason) will act differently in the SL (Shadowling's Lose) dimension compared to the HL (Human's Lose) dimension.

To make this easier on myself can people organize their Character Templates like this:

TTA Prologue: The New Students/Rebellious Beginnings

SL Dimension

All the students gathered in the Grand Hall (place where everyone eats) and ate the dinner. Everyone has arrived over the past few days and the Dean of Psy Academy wanted to address everyone with the standard beginning announcements. "Well, I hope everyone had a good summer but unfortunately we must all beginning another school year. This year I am happy to announce we have the most amount of students in 20 years." The crowd clapped and the Dean held up his hand to quiet them again. "I am also happy to announce that we have a new professor, everyone I would like you to meet Professor Gladier, he will be taking over the Black Cape: Pryo Teacher, as Professor Yather has taken a vacation for his health after the accident with the Pryo Hail last year (some of the black capes smiled). Now regarding with the rules, don't fight each other in the hallways, don't take to many drugs at once, the bar is not open to students AND teachers during the day, and black capes, please don't harm the red capes. Now one more thing of business before we go off to bed, we had generously offered a Tratenite named Zack Arcon a place as a transfer student at our school. Now I want everyone to treat him nicely and help him if he needs anything, we need to make a good impression if we want to increase ties with Traten. He is waiting outside of the halls now." The halls doors opened slowly and their stood a medium-height, platinum blond haired, blue eyed figure smiling with an arrogant smile. "Welcome Mr. Arcon, I hope you have a good time at Psy Academy. Do you have anything to say to everyone before we go off to bed?" "It's is hot in Cera Bella." Zack laughed as he pulled on his collar. "We everyone, with everything said and done, you can go off to bed." Zack slowly darted out from the doors and followed a map to his room. He quickly went inside, locked the door and collapsed on his bed, he didn't know what to think about Psy Academy but he was sure that it was going to be a interesting year.

OOC: You can take up your characters perspective of the opening ceremony or just go with it and start classes.

Legend: Purple- Shared; Blue-Humans Lose Dimension; Red-Shadowlings Lose Dimension

Shared Opener:

     Zaron was late for class. It didn't help that it was his favorite. Entomology. Commonly called Bugs 101. Zaron arrived at the door to class just in time to hear a mental cry of pain from a barely hatched nymph.
     Zaron rushed in and stopped. Professor Landers, who was commonly called Professor Loon, had just telekinetically lifted a heavy stone from the table, it's bottom trailing a sticky blue substance.
     "... And that's how our ancestors used to observe living things." he was saying.
     "Monster", gasped Zaron. Every head turned.
     "Excuse me?", Landers said. "Did you just call me a monster?
     "No. I called you a friendly pretty pony," snapped Zaron sarcastically.
     Zaron struggled for breath as he felt himself lifted up and choked by a powerful telekinetic force.
     "You listen to ME freak", said Landers in an angry cruel tone,"You listen to me, you learn my way, you will accept what I tell you as true, and YOU WILL NOT OBJECT!!!"

     Zaron reacted. Looking to escape his cruel and delusional teacher, he instinctively threw a shadow blast and fell. Landers stood there shocked, half his torso missing, consumed by the corrosive masmia that had been released upon him. Just then, the Dean walked in. Landers was the first to react.
     "This student just tried to kill me!", he shouted. "I want him gone. Worse than expelled. He thinks he knows everything about bugs and has no respect. I want him worse than expelled. I want him banned from ever entering the grounds of Psy Academy ever again", he shouted just before falling to the floor in pain. Them for the second time in several minutes, he felt himself lifted telekinetically and taken away...



     Zaron nodded, dejected. He felt himself hit the ground as he was carelessly and roughly dropped to the ground. Then the Dean walked in.
     "Everything going well in here, Landers?", asked he.
     "Yes sir. Just a slight disciplinary issue, nothing more", Landers replied.
     The Dean turned to leave just as Zaron shouted,"He just tried to choke me!"
     Landers shot him a hateful glare as the Dean turned back around.
     "Come again?", he asked.
     "It's nothing", Landers interjected. "Just fooling around. No need to listen to him."
     Zaron felt himself struggling for breath again as the Dean looked at him. "Is this true?", he asked.
     Unable to breathe to speak, Zaron only nodded, knowing that anything else and Landers would kill him.
     "Very well. Back to your studies", said the Dean as he left, Zaron still struggling for breath. He tried to groan as the world began to fade to black but found himself unable. Then, the darkness took hold and his vision faded to black...

John was having a nightmare. He was watching the events on the ground from above. He saw his parents cradling a child in their arms. He saw the desperate looks on their faces as they pleaded with the Shadowlings. He saw the Shadowling raise his hands... John woke up with a cry.

There he was, in his dorm room. Suddenly, he heard feet rushing down the hallway. His door opened, and lamplight filled the room. It was Ben.
"Is everything alright?" he asked.
"Yes, it was just a bad dream." John mumbled.
"Oh." Ben said softly. "Your parents again?"
"Yes." John admitted.
Ben went to John's bedside and sat down. "That hasn't happened for a while." He noted.
"I know... I'm probably just stressed about tomorrow's exam. Don't worry about it."
Ben smiled. "Oh, I wouldn't worry about the exam. You're going to pass with flying colors, I'm sure of it."
John smiled back. "You really think so?"
"I know so. Go back to sleep. I'm sure you'll feel better in the morning." Ben got up to leave. At the door, he turned back. "John?"
"Yea, Ben?"
"Your parents would have been proud to see you come this far."
"...Thanks Ben. Good night."
"Good night, Mr. soon-to-be black cape."
As the door closed, John felt happy and calm. Ben always made him feel better when he was sad. John was glad he had Ben to talk to. As his eyes began to droop, he said, "You hear that, Mom and Dad? I'm going to be a black cape. I hope you're proud of me...I hope you're proud..." And he drifted off into a restful sleep.

There he was, in his dark, dank room. He got off of the ragged mat that he considered to be his bed and fixed himself a glass of water, first making sure there was snoring coming from Rashnev's bedroom. That old miser would go ballistic if he realized I was drinking more that my daily allowance, John thought. After quenching his thirst, John lay down to think. It's been a long time since I've had that nightmare, he thought. I wonder what it could mean. He wished he had someone to discuss it with. As it were, all he had was Rashnev, and he would probably just laugh and call him weak for holding on to the memory. Yeah, like I could simply forget about the most traumatizing event in my life, John thought. He had tried to put it out of his mind before, he really had. But it always somehow came back, whether it was seeing something that reminded him of his parents, or a nightmare like the one he had just had. The nightmares themselves tended to come after an assassination job, or when he was stressed. But there hadn't been any major jobs for the last year, and there was nothing to be stressed about. And yet... for the past few days, he had felt apprehensive. He felt like there was something important about to happen, something monumental, but he had no idea what it was. Oh well, maybe the answer will come in the morning, John thought. But he wasn't sure of that at all, and he kept wondering what the future held as he tossed and turned and drifted off into a fitful sleep...

Can someone tell me how to deal with the jumpy reply box? ???

OOC: In the HL dimension, Shadowlings control Psy Academy so if you misbehave, you might not like the things they do to you. Also the dean of the HL dimension is a Shadowling.

I suggest using the quick reply box. It doesn't jump. Either that or type everything out in another program. I use my notepad when I'm on my iPod. And Notepad on my main computer. Then all you need to do is copy and paste.

Why would the shadowlings take over the Academy? The Queen just throws wars for the fun of it, right?

[Zackirus]

OOC: Because she needs people to lead her armies. What better way to train and habour all the Psys in Cera Bella then to put them into an academy where they can be watched over closely by the shadowlings.

Zack hurried off to his first class: Affinity 101. He didn't know which affinity he wanted to be because they all; had their pros and cons. He passed by several of these shadowing creatures. He was creeped out by them. Their was something weird about this school, it was like the kids were almost afraid of the shadowlings. He also noticed that the kids sort of stared at him, and he had even even one her take notes what what he said and did at breakfast. It was like the world was watching him, and he loved it!

OOC: The shadowlings are watching Zack to learn of the Traten ways, the queen has eyes on Traten after all of Cera Bella...
