Act One - A Seed Is Born And Harvested

As always, the lecture theatre had been particularly filled to the brim with students making their greatest attempts to gain knowledge of the systems around them, whilst at the same time they tried to look as interested as possible. It was not compulsory to attend each and every lecture, but reading out of the textbook made passing the course basically impossible. With attendance came the assistance of study notes, and perhaps the occasional freak resourse the speaker would give; hence the reason students would sit patiently through the boring speeches given.

Not only that, but when the government had made the desision to privatize the nation's universities, fees had jumped to levels which made attending seem at least worthwhile. Not one person would fail, even if the reason was that they pushed themselves because they didnt have the money to re-enrol. Nevertheless, Indigo was one such student, and with his textbook open to the relevant page, he took notes quickly. Indigo was one of the few who found Mr. Hanley's lectures interesting. Of course, the young adult had also gained himself a great interest in the political systems of the world.

Quite possibly, he had the most different name in Anatoba City where he resided, and with a full name of Indigo Blue, one could not beg to differ in opinion. Often he would ponder why his parents named him after a colour, but more so his mind was plauged with his dreams and plans for the future. For now, he was studying intently about the systems already around the world. With the knowledge backing him in future, he would have the ability to lead others toward his term as a political leader, perhaps even as President. Indigo certainly dreamed rather large, but then as the old proverbial sayings said, "One must dream large, to achieve little...". Perhaps they were true, or perhaps they were not. The young man who had been named differently however seemed to believe in it, for he had adopted the saying as his own.

Not one person could dream of the future which God had prepared for Indigo; perhaps it was too great a destiny for man to fathom. And yet still, it remained existant, and still, it remained unfurfilled...

OOC: If you plan to join in on the roleplay, you can as some roles I suppose. Just contact me on IRC and we should be able to sought something out. Otherwise, please dont post random crap.

About 'From Just A Small Seed' - General Overview for Act One

Obviously, just after reading the above introductory post to this roleplay, you are most likely wondering exactly what the story is about. This quick note I am writing here is here to tell you just that. Please observe this post regarding all notes about the roleplay, and even if you dont choose to take part, which I hope you do, this will provide some insight into the general theme and direction this story is to undertake.

It is set in the general halls of society of Anatoba City, the infamous capital of Austar Union, where education is something one chooses to die for. Naturally under the President Grove regime, most things have in fact been privatized, including post-nessasary education such as college or university. Indigo Blue is the main character of this story, where he begins just as a regular person, no different from any other except his name of course.

Within the first act, nothing spectacular will really happen except the general life of a college student, studying a course called Political and Legal Studies, whereby Lawyers, and hopeful polititions do attend so they may understand more of the industry/world they wish to live in. Some have joined the course for simple interest reasons, but most like Indigo have an interest in Politics, and do in fact plan to work in the area regarding it, in one way shape or form.

Other participation is not required, but at the same time I do like to have others take part. Basically for Act One, its quite simple, and is really just a college life roleplay with no special tweaks. For now I choose not to reveal the general plot of the story, but lets just say that Indigo and perhaps even a few other developed characters will affect the course which the entire nation and its government takes. I cannot say exactly how this will happen, but if you do take part, you can be one of those who can proudly claim that they took part in making the story happen.

Other further Acts will be set in a slightly different time-frame during Indigo's life, however it will still remain open. The setting will just be slightly and somewhat different. So if you do want to take part, feel free to contact me on IRC, AIM, or even MSN. I dont really mind, and I want to provide at least some entertainment to the people of nationstates, who are most definatly bored due to a lack of interesting events happening (that I am aware of).
