Apex Academy, the TRUE Duel Academy Experience [PG13][Always Accepting][Started]

[Hrash0]

Welcome to the Apex Academy.

 

[spoiler=Plot]

The Apex Academy is a new venture by the Kaiba Corporation. Instead of being a normal Duel Academy focused only on dueling, this academy focuses on core subjects--Mathematics and the Sciences with Duel School mixed in. The result is a normal-feeling High School with a Duel Academy under the hood. It is a private institution but is not a boarding school, and is located in the electronics hub of a large city. Consequently, Slifer, Ra, and Obelisk 'dorms' have been eliminated and have been changed to normal 'Houses,' and students can choose which house they belong to.

It is currently the start of the first year of the Academy's existence; admissions are still going on. Why not join and see where life takes you?

 

[spoiler=Admission and Paperwork]

Name:

Appearance: (I'd rather you describe the person than just put up a pic.)

Desired House: (Slifer/Obelisk/Ra)

Backstory: (This ought to be at least one paragraph long.)

Personality: (Basically, how your character behaves.)

Deck used: (You can use YCM cards, but please don't use cards that are too powerful. It's also appreciated if you don't use a meta deck since we are talking about something that resembles an anime deck and thus it ought not to be perfect.)

Duel Disk: (Use this: http://www.duelevolution.info/duel-disk/ )

NOTE: You are assumed to be the age of an average high school freshman, i.e about 14/15.

If you apply to be a teacher, your application should be similar, but age given and subject taught rather than House.

 

 

[spoiler=Rules, and an IMPORTANT RPG INNOVATION]

Normal YCM rules apply.

I've decided to take a spin on the normal RPGing style. Since it's a school we're talking about, there'll be multiple locations (obviously.) To achieve a heightened sense of realism, before you post in character, type at the top of your post your location, bolded, so that people know who's posts to read. Thus, you interact with people in your location, rather than everyone just unrealistically crowded in one place. A list of locations is later in the post.

 

 

[spoiler=List of Locations]

Cafeteria

School Grounds

Gym

Dueling Rooms

All the various classrooms

The Woods Behind the School

It's an open-ended RPG. Apex Academy has been strategically located in the business/electronics/shopping hub of the [unnamed] city so that you can go exploring. You may create locations as you wish.

When you believe that the conversation has ended in a particular Location, just say so.

Eg, I've ended the thread in the cafeteria, so I'd type Cafeteria/End to show it.

 

 

[spoiler=Current Events]

The first semister at Apex is about to start. Everyone is a newcomer. Friendships will be made and tested at the Welcoming Duel Tournament that is to be held in two weeks.

[Limited Edition KING]

If you said the slifer, ra and Obelisk dorms have been abolished then why would you still have them in houses? I mean you keep the name but it still feels dormish.

 

Change the names of the houses like "Gamma, Beta, Zemma" Something like that or something else like "Due House, Mathe House, Sci House."

 

Like Due house would be for those who prefer to duel with instinct like Jaden, Mathe house would be for someone like Syrus and Sci house would be like bastion.

 

You see what I mean?

[Hrash0]

I dunno. The houses would now be based on which God card the student thinks is best rather than the inventor. I will consider what you say though if you consider joining.

Deck used: Ninja Deck (with some cards from The Rebel Ninja's)

Duel Disk: Cyclone Black

[Sorrow.]

When shall we start..

[Hrash0]

The wheels are really turning now! Both accepted. But Ken needs a surname.

We've got two in each house and 1 teacher. We'll start now, but things won't really get going until we've got say, 3 in each house and 2-3 teachers. I'll start.

 

(In Character)

Cafeteria

John could hear the people in the Cafeteria talking. He had his silver Duel Disk on his left arm and his Deck in his pocket.

He entered.

The place was big, even compared to some dueling arenas he'd seen. There were chairs in neat rows. Usually there would be tables but because of the opening ceremony and orientation there were more chairs.

People were quickly filling in. He looked around for familiar faces from the Junior Dueling League and found none.

Someone bumped into him.

"Sorry," he said, turning around and taking a gander at the stranger.

Cafeteria

Ken walks through the cafeteria looking around, eventually walking into John. "sorry" he says then quickly turning away walking down and taking a chair looking up towards the front row. "hmm.. well after this is finished i might try to see if i can find someone to duel" he thinks looking up. Ken then turns looking back at John then around the cafeteria. Ken looks back to the front waiting for the opening Ceremony to start, very quiet even compared to the fact that he barely ever speaks.

[Jolta]

Cafeteria

Otto strolled along the cafeteria and saw Ken. She just walked up ahead like nothing happened and took a seat in the front row. All she liked was dueling. Well, maybe not that bad. She silently sat there, nothing happened. She literaly looked at her Deck. And literally wondered what to do.

[ANBU]

Ken saw Otto pass not realluy paying much attention. Ken then pulls out his deck looking through his cards and swapping some out with a few other ninja cards he had in his pocket which he always put carsds in that weren't in his deck then then places the cards he took out inb his pocket. "hmm.. i wonder what that girl was thinking.. from the way she stepped i know she was trying to hide something ohwell im too bored to bother nopw" Ken then puts his Deck away looking up towards the front row.

[Jolta]

Otto suddenly realised Ken was there. "How very queer he looks. Seriously queer. She's trying to see my strategies. Good thing I don't play friggin Meta Decks except cards that look cute," Otto thought. She was really bored now.

 

So she took out her Deck and looked at it once again.

[ANBU]

Ken Ducks down seeming 6o dissappear behind the chair then sitting back up. a Small Origami Crane stops near Otto's feet as Ken then looks around bored. "hmm.. guess i just better hope she doesnt yell at me for that". Ken then looks around waiting for the opening ceremony to start. " how longs this gonna take?" he thinks bored.

[Jolta]

"Hmmm... What's this thing we have here?" Otto looked at the papermade bird. "I wonder how it got here."

 

She merely stared at it. She wasn't interested in the origami crane.

[Sorrow.]

Ooc: Donny is what girls call hot. Hes a chick magnet even though hes shy.

 

Ic: Donny sighed and walked into the cafeteria, alot of girls stared at him and giggled, Donny blushd and covered his face. "Am I some super model now?" He said to himself. Then he sat down in the front row and studied his Info Notes on other duelist in the room. Still girls were staring at him and giggling, one stood up and slid a note to him. He looked at it in confusement he picked it up and it was a note of saying how hot he was and asked if he wanted to go out with a girl . He blushed and hid his face again.

Mathematics Room

Gemin entered the classroom. It was your typical classroom, mostly. There was a new smartboard, an overhead projector, and a state of the art labtop. Nice. Gemin set up his workplace for the day and oriented the smartboard to his liking. Then, he started on his lesson plan for the time being, creating smartboard slideshows for the various classes.

[Hrash0]

ooc: OK, magnet soldier accepted.

 

ic:

Cafeteria

Chuckling to himself at the childish display going on, John took a seat next to Donny. John was a bit of a flirt himself so he decided to associate himself with him (come on, look at all the attention he got from females!)

"Hey," he said, extending his hand to shake, "I'm Johnathan Arcwright. I'm in Ra. How about a duel?"

[Magnet Soldier]

OOC: Thanks.

 

IC: Cafeteria (OOC:Since thats where everybody is.)

Kris looked up as Donny entered. Well, atleast he's not acting like a snob. In fact he looks nervous. Kris thought. He called over a waiter((?)) And asked for a hamburger. When he got his burger he decided to go introduce himself. "Hello, I'm Kris and I'm in Obelisk. And you are?" Kris asked, sitting down on a spare chair.
