The RP is based in a country where academic ability means everything pay, job, votes, marriage, what you can buy. Certain people from underachievers and overachievers don't like this system so have decided to form a underground rebel group. There are no conditions to join the group. Small raids are common in towns and cities and some villages are bases for the group. Aside from the School Board and the Rebel group there are smaller shadow cults with their own agenda. The most powerful members of each group are the Northern Branch Student Council President, Yuhi Konan, and the Rebels Major Philip Hibki.
 
[spoiler=Rules]


  • Avoid godmodding (performing actions that cannot be defended against or giving oneself inordinate amounts of power), metagaming (using information that couldn’t be known in-character), and powerplaying (controlling another player’s actions without their permission). These are all grounds for forced expulsion from the roleplay by the mods.
    Do not use chat speak or smilies in IC posts. Spellcheck and proofread for grammar and spelling mistakes before posting.
  • Must follow the Advanced Clause. (IC posts require at least 100 words, Posting in script format is forbidden, Expying Characters with out tailoring them to the role play is forbidden.)
  • The use of "Zalgo text" is allowed, as long as you don't go overboard and only if you have an AI.
  • Each player may have up to 2 characters.
  • NPCs may be created by anyone as long as the Host/Co-host(s) say so.
  • The word of Host/Co-host(s) is final unless a mod says otherwise.

[/spoiler][spoiler=Plot]In the year 2027, the discovery of Ionium has boosted technology hundreds if not thousands of years into the future. Because of the danger this element can have on humans if exposed to its pure form, businesses and Schools now hold most of the power in countries. In Japan there is now only one school, Yismir, with branches around the country. Like most other countries academic abilities predicts what you can do, except Yismir takes it further. If you are a low achiever you only have one path open to you, manual labour. A mid achiever has more paths open, though still not low-mid pay jobs. High achievers are automatically given a grant upon leaving school and can enroll at any colleges or universities they want, as well as having any job they wish for.
 
Not happy with this system a small group of people formed a small group called Ares, after the Greek god of war, which focused on causing havoc around cities. As more and more people joined the group was renamed to Libertanemoi, and decided to take up arms against Yismir. Accepting anyone who wasn't happy with Yismir, the group set about to liberate small towns and villages before going after cities.
 
Now 10 years later, Libertanemoi has a base in most towns and villages, as well as in a few cities. Despite their expansion they have been getting less people join and finding it hard to fund themselves. Deciding to expanding into hiring directly from schools they employed some of their high achieving members into the main Yismir schools. With low to mid achievers making up most of the interest some high achievers have displayed interest in joining, despite the interest displayed a large of the school population disregards the rebel group and carries on with their everyday lives.
 
In Yismir's Northern Branch, Major Philip Hibki has taken a job as a science professor as well as the lead Libertanemoi recruiter. With the Northern branch being the school with the most students as well as the highest educational standards, most low-achieving students have signed up for Libertanemoi's training program.
 
Now what will you do? Side with Yismir and protect the privileges of some or tear it down and create a country where everyone has a equal chance?[/spoiler]
 
[spoiler=Database]Mobile Frames - Mobile Frames are small suits designed to give soldiers an edge in combat. Being powered by Ionium the suits have a nearly infinite source of power and are equipped with various weapons and armaments for the users needs.
 
Ionium - A element discovered during a exploration on Mars. Ionium can provide a near unlimited power supply to any electronic equipment. Because of the power it can supply it can cause mutations in living tissue and can cause tumors and cancer in humans.
 
Magic - A side effect from waste produced from the processing of Ionium is slight mutations in the cells of humans and other animals, allowing them to tap into different elements and control them at will. The magic is entirely dependent on the users personality and exposure to Ionium waste.
Types of Magic: Fire - Fire embodies the unpredictability of a person and as such fire mages are usually jokers and fun loving people.
Water - Water embodies the grace of a person and as such water mages are usually dancers and artisans.
Wind - Wind embodies the understanding of a person and as such wind mages are usually therapists and doctors
Earth - Earth embodies the curious nature of a person and as such earth mages are usually explorers and archaeologists
 
Mobile Unit - Large and more heavily armoured versions of Mobile Frames, Mobile Units can stand their own against most weaponry humanity has produced. Despite their power they are difficult to pilot and expensive to build.
 
Grimoires - Used by Mages to easily control their magic. Due to the behavior of magic grimoires can alter depending on the persons personality and emotional state. A usual grimoire is brown with magic circles drawn on the cover, when the user has a righteous sense of justice the grimoire will become white and take up holy symbols in place of magic circles. The opposite occurs if the user wants chaos, the grimoire turns black and takes up the eight pointed star, the symbol of chaos.
 
Dragons - Dragons are creatures which were original human or animal. If a creature can't control its magic it will break down into a egg which will later hatch into a dragon. Unlike what dragons are portrayed like in media, Dragons are humans with traits of other animals in them. If a human becomes a Dragon they will usually be part dog or cat, while if a animal becomes a Dragon they will carry traits from that animal other. So if a bird became a Dragon they will still have wings and be able to fly. Due to Dragons being fully aware and have human level intelligent all human rights apply to them. Despite creatures being made by magic Dragons can't use it themselves but are immune to it.[/spoiler]

Rules: The bear minimum for NPC apps is the Name, Faction, Position, Age and personality. You don't have to do a Biography for them or include what they do.

I hope you don't take offense or see me as too high and mighty for giving you some advice as your friendly neighbourhood RP Moderator. (Although I am definitely great and awesome, right? RIGHT?)

 

 

I'm afraid your synopsis is really dry. Whether it's for an RP or anything else, the synopsis is really important for drawing others in. Having a good synopsis not only interests people, but is also a testament to your writing ability and thus hints at your ability as a host (We are still in the process of researching what truly makes a great host, so writing ability is all we have to go on for now). You have to make the exciting and compelling to tell people why it would be worthwhile joining your RP. The most straightforward approach to doing this is to express why YOU think your RP is interesting. In an additional note, when I did a survey of the RP section a while back, I confirmed the fact that the appeal of the premise is what really draws people in, so it would also do you well to take that into account and sell the appeal of your premise. For example, in this case, you want to really drive and highlight the oppression of the school system. Your synopsis should also omit the smaller details that aren't entirely important such as the existence of cults and other evil organizations.

 

Secondly, you should think your concept through more and illustrate the specifics of the system itself. Exactly how controlling is it? How do they even control you? What about options such as self-employment and starting your own business and stuff? Leaving out worldbuilding details like this makes it difficult to envision what this world is like and also difficult create a character in this world because of a basic lack of information.

 

Also, there's a reason why anime don't have a ton of supernatural stuff, because it's awfully convoluted and difficult to keep track of or properly envision. In short, it's a mess. You generally want to create ONE combat system that is sufficiently interesting while still allowing for sufficient creativity and customization. Here, you have mechs, magic, and suddenly mutants as well, despite the fact that magic is already supposedly a mutation.

 

 

Beyond the basics of creating an RP which I highlighted above, you generally want to create a rep before hosting your own RP. Generally, make yourself known to be a competent roleplayer, so people have a guarantee of quality. Of course, with a powerful enough plot and premise you can get away with being relatively unknown, but even then, it doesn't hurt to have one. An alternative would be to find a co-host with a degree of rep.

 

I'm going to break the honest truth to you, because I feel I'd be saving you some misery watching no one join your roleplays. I don't feel your general writing ability (be it writing in the sense of prose, or writing in the sense of story and character creation) are up to par with some of the other RPers like Zai, Kyng, UE, to name a few. There will be, of course, plenty of opportunity for improvement, there's no need to be discouraged in any way. The more you write, the better you get, and it helps to be aware of your own shortcoming so that you can make the active effort to improve. My own suggestion would be to join other roleplays for now, and try to observe others at their craft. You can chat me up by PM or on Skype if you ever need anything. Properly joining the RP community, and getting to know everyone would certainly benefit.
