This is the Out of Character Chat for the RP In the Dark.
The RP page is here: http://pokemon-universe.com/index.php/topic,3982.0.html
Feel free to talk about anything on the topic of the RP here. You may also have conversations about other things, but remember that the main focus of this page is the RP.
-
First order of business: RP name
I'm not gonna lie, I think the current name...is...
So anyway, I want to change it, but I have no ideas. Post any ideas you have here.
-
Name suggestions:Disappearance.
disappear.
-
They're okay, but I want a title that starts to make sense as people get deeper into the RP, not something that gives away the premise immediately.
-
The high school of mystery?
-
looks like a good rp, how about....
"Corpse Party" - no no im joking... this game single handedly made me fear the dark for a while...
"Fearfull Darkness" ?
-
What about 'In the Dark'?
I like it because there's that sense of looming evil without making it obvious. It's also sort of a metaphor for what's happening in the RP.
...I feel REEEEEEALLY nerdy for saying that.
-
I like it. Because in the dark can reference the happenings. And it can also be applied to the knowledge of the events. I'll assume most characters are "In the dark" about them.
-
sounds good, and dark, i sent you my profile for it
-
I was finally able to come back on today, so I just got yours and Bing's. Haven't actually got around to reading them yet, but I'll do that now.
Good to see people like it. I'll also be changing the topic names of the RP, Profiles and OOCC as well once I read the new profiles.
-
I like the idea of this RP. Hopefully it'll get up and running soon.
-
Yeah, I hope to start it soon. It just needs a few more members.
-
lol, mind if i drag some people into the Rp?
-
Lol. Sure, if you want to.
-
(Double post so people see this)
Oh, right. Second order of business:
Name of the Highschool. I have no ideas.
-
if japanese names are allowed, Gesshoku Itami High School
-
...No one else has any ideas? ???
I actually did come up with the name for the town, though. I think it'll be named 'Dark Water Creek'. I kinda like it, but let me know what you all think. It might make it easier to come up with the name for the high school.

soudns good
-
Better than anything i got.
-
Okay, so that's resolved...
Back to high school names, the only one we have is Gesshoku Itami High School.
-
I'm looking at joining.... So I gotta write up a profile...
As for high school names, maybe Darkwater High?
or Hadrian (which means "dark one" without being completely obvious) High School
-
Okay, so current names are:
Gesshoku Itami High School
Darkwater High
Hadrian High
Blackwater High
I actually just came up with Blackwater, so...yeah.
Also, when making a profile, we're looking for teachers mostly, but feel free to be whatever character you want.
I'm hoping to have 1 teacher for each basic subject.
-
Alright, I'll design myself a teacher... Hmm...
-
I tryed as a teacher in the past rp on a friends site and it didnt worked out well...
-
Well not only will it be my first time rping a teacher, but rping as a guy as well... so wish me luck, and please forgive me if I don't do terribly well! ^ ^
-

as i guy i did before, i still preffer being a girl^^
-
Same here, but it'll be a fun challenge, I think!
-
If there are too many teachers then there won't be enough student :-\
-
But if there aren't enough Teachers, the class period system I'm going to apply won't work.
-
How many more teachers do you need? I might be able to lend you a hand there.
-
At least 2, hopefully Science and History.
-
Who's math?
-
I play the math teacher
-
Whew, i was afraid it was gonna be the evil teacher, course, that would make sense..
-
Hmm? What do you mean?
-
Because LITERATURE IS EVIL!!!
Edit: I just realized there were a couple things I forgot to mention about this RP.
1) The theme of this RP is Fear and Distrust between the teachers and the students, and between the students as well. So even if you play a good teacher, you have to earn the trust of the students because it is the beginning of the year, and everyone knows about students going missing, including freshmen (or 9th graders).
2) ALL characters have lives outside of school, so use 'after school time', because we will have some on all days in the RP, and there will be weekends and holidays. Teachers also have social lives, so maybe (Excuse me as I rip off Lucky Star) a student and a teacher both play an online game, or...something...I can't think of anything else. This also includes family, so you will be spending a certain amount of time with them, or not, as well.
3) Normally, class lessons are skipped, and private conversations between other students occurs, but sometimes your post can be what your character is feeling at the time. The only time lessons are not skipped is if either A-A special assignment is set up (Like group work) or B-If an important announcement is made.
4) I'm going to be instituting a system for class periods, in which you will have similar classes with other characters, or none at all sometimes. This is to make it seem like an actual school. I'm trying to base it off of my school, to where you will have 'mixed grade level classes', which I will get more in to as we start making up scedules.
5) Teachers who aren't controlled by RPers are free to be controlled by everyone, excluding cases where I need to intervene. This usually won't happen, only in cases where it might mess up the actual storyline. That being said, the principal may be controlled by ONLY myself and anyone I explicitly give permission to (I think explicit is the right word...).
6) I'm making my character last, probably just before the RP starts. It WILL be a student.
7) This is just a random Idea I just thought of-What would you all say if I gave you permission to have previous relationships with other characters? Like you could say you're already friends with another character, or none if you prefer.
-
QAQ Eh??? NUUUUUUUUUU! Literature~<3 Actually, I despise math (despite being good at it) so having a character that likes math is even more of a stretch for me lol. I prefer English/Literature and Art.
BTW, with the high school... I'd like to say I LOVE Japan, the language, the culture--but personally I would feel slightly uncomfortable naming the high school something Japanese when it's not set in Japan. The character names and town name at least hinted we weren't in Japan anyway....
-
If I wasn't already a misfit. I'd be a math/music teacher. I could teach kids things like calculus and the circle of 5ths. lolz
-
I was thinking it would have made sense if the math teacher was the evil teacher, CAUSE MATH IS EVIL!!
EDIT:I have a suggestion for the name of the highschool... aperture high.
-
Lol, right. You told me over steam and I forgot XD
BTW, I just edited my last post, and it contains a lot of usefull information.
The only things I forgot was that my character being the last one was intentional, and that A PM will go out to teachers about how to make your position easier.
-
Am I in this RP? Oh and forlorn high... Kwl. 8)
-
Nope, you're not in this RP yet.
-
Remember I sent those profiles sorry I didn't respond I checked the message and I DC after that I forgot... :-[
-
I just realized I had forgoten about this RP, I will be the science teacher. I will send in a profile soon.
Edit: Here is my idea for a name. New Millennium High.
-
Hmm...I kinda like that one.
-
New Millennium High.... I kinda like that too :)
-
why thank you guys!
Also Dark I have a question, do you mind if I use a real world collage?
-
i like the name too^^
-
why thank you guys!

Not at all! In fact, that'll help it sound more realistic. Just know it's a high school, not college.
-

I meant for my profile. You asked me to say what collage he graduated from. I just wanted to know.
-
When are the teachers going to get the PM? And do I need to to choose a college for Ethan to have graduated from? Or is it good enough that I listed his Masters'?

Oh, in that case, that's fine too.

The all of the players will get a PM from me regarding their character type most likely 3 days before starting the RP. It'll give everyone ideas as to what they're able to do with their characters. I'll elaborate more on this later.
And mentioning the masters' was enough, so no need.
-
Sorry I forgot about this RP everyone, but I've been designing class schedule...things.
Basically, everyone will have classes to go to, or not. You'll have an organized schedule, and go to a specific class durring each class period, which, by the way, will also count as time changes. You can always cut classes, but there will be consequences.
And now that we've decided on names of the Town and the school, I can finish this up and start soon. Sorry this is taking so long, but it'll finally be ready.
-
Yay!
-
yay for Dark^^
-
I'm sure I sent you my profiles but I only will pick my student one.
-
Okay, NOW I'm ready to set up the classes system. I'm basing it off of my school because coming up with it on my own is next to impossible.
I'll be assigning your characters their classes, most of which, they'll be sharing with other characters.
I'll start with Math and Science. Of these subjects, there's many classes underneath.
Math:
Algebra 1-2
Geometry 1-2
Algebra 3-4
Geometry 3-4
Algebra 5-6 (10th, 11th & 12th)
Geometry 5-6 (10th, 11th & 12th)
Pre-Calculus (11th & 12th)
Calculus (11th & 12th)
Science:
Biology (9th)
Chemistry (10th)
Physics (11th & 12th)
AP Physics (11th & 12th)
Whichever seems more appropriate for your character, pick that class. The grade levels next to the class names show which grades can take those classes. Also, sometimes teachers will make exceptions to these rules, so your character can be in a class above the grade level.
-
sounds good
-
Great, Now I have to go back to my profile and figure out my grade level..
-
Eh? What about the teachers? I mean, 'cause in all honesty, one math teacher can't teach all of those math sections--they might know how to do them all but lesson plans would be impossible.
BTW, don't we have 4 teachers and 2 students or something like that?? :\ I think we might want to balance it a little more. Maybe? :-[
-
im only student^^
-
Student here.

Actually, we have 3 teachers and 4 students, including myself once I make my profile.
-
Oh? Hm, I must have read that wrong...weeks ago. Sorry!
oh, and you still didn't answer my question about the classes.
-
Oh, right.
I'll have NPC teachers making up for some/most of the classes.
