University of Tucker Redux: The Wrecking Ball (Cliché Edition)
This is my first attempt to start a RP rather than story in these forums. The background is right below.
I had placed a personal challenge once: To make an University Thread (http://forums3.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=569526) that is actually interesting to both those participating and those who might read it, free from what I see as severe shortcomings in such threads. But I decided to give up due to lack of time, and truth be told, because I prefer to focus my RPs on either political scheming or wars, which doesn't mean the first may not happen during an event like a ball or... a huge mess. Then I realized a possible way to achieve it, by thinking smaller, and by not taking it seriously at all. But by thinking in University as "Revenge of the Nerds", "Jay and Silent Bob" or -insert Stoner Comedy here- and by extension, many of the restrictions in the original concept are now lifted as this is not serious business.
If the title and the image above hasn't hinted enough, this is another Ball going on, a Wrecking Ball. Whether it'll wreck anything or not is something which isn't writ on stone(I like to keep surprises), and may depend upon how this develops, provided enough people show interest into something that was done to become a joke RP of sorts. University of Tucker is a data haven(computers don't leave logs of who uses them or of the IPs of people using them as proxy servers) where everything is legalized, meaning dances aren't particularly common because most people are too high to dance during parties, or doing it.
Most foreign students will feel bad unless they are geniuses(and to be honest, the only reason a foreigner would come is because the universities of his country were too slow for his capabilities), considering local classmates are usually between thirteen and fifteen years old due to the "high-efficiency education" system usually taken by Confederacy universities which dismiss theoretical babble, at the expense of school being usually tougher challenge. And despite being full of potheads and l33t hackers, Tucker is known for developing radar avionics for air superiority fighters, seriously.
My first character, a misogynist geek fighting against political correctness, braindead high school clique types and feminazis. Think something like Space Moose (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Moose) made human, with as much depth added as possible without making of this a serious RP.
Name: Ruiz Ortega
Degree: Tourism
Photo: Here (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/96/246798878_780b5c4225.jpg?v=0) (Seriously)
Title: Patriotic Nigra
Age: 14
Height: 1.67 meters (5'7'')
Hair: Afro black hair, seriously
Eyes: Hazel
Hobbies: Anything done for "the LULZ", from making improvised spy drones to record naked girls and put it in the Internet, to bullying pricks as Anonymous, drugs, blowing trees with IEDs, laughing at handicaps and telling politically incorrect jokes.
Closet's Content: Claimed to be gay, despite doesn't giving any signs of it.
Clothing: Formal black suit, black tie, shoes and pants
Personality: Ruiz is a nice guy despite the way he fashions himself over a certain Internet meme and questionable behavior under conservative points of view, a nice guy as long as rich "bourgeois kiddies", imbeciles thinking Third Spanish States colleges are just like theirs and that they can run the show in jockstraps, braindead cheerleader types or anyone who tries to place him or herself as superior aren't around, for when they are, the fact that the entire University has residential automation allows him to bully such types through cleverness than through brute force, and in many ways he is the "leader" of the men around due to his sense of balance, for whenever someone tries to impose authority, after being beaten down by everyone else, such one will have a nice week locked inside a bathroom which was last cleaned six months ago, or in a cockroach-ridden cellar. The fact he is not the only one who does such things, but instead a part of Anonymous, offers a powerful shield against attempts to put the blame on him. Furries tend to get the same treatment because Anonymous does not forgive.
My second character, the patroness of the Wrecking Ball, known for her hatred of ^_^ (http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/3339/japanze3vt7.jpg) and did it for being utterly bored and having nothing better to do(what do you think a head of State would do in an anarchy?), although rumors on the Internets claim she is a closet Wapanese.
Name: Cecily Lochelm
Photo: Here (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/Cleyere.jpg)
Title (Short): Head of State
Title (Long): Head of State, Commander Shepard ,Protector of Western culture, Bane of all furries, Overlady of the LARPers and Scourge of the Weeabo
Age: 22
Height: 1.75 meters (5'9'')
Hair: Curly, dark brown, medium-length
Eyes: Light brown
Hobbies: Watching deathmatches*, plate shooting, computer games.
Closet's Content: According to the ever-present rumors on the Internets, Cecily liked too much to tie up dolls when a kid... and most teenagers were afraid of doing her, for they fear they would be done instead. Likewise, there are claims Cecily was bullied when she was still a prepubescent because she liked too much to read Mangas and watch Animes and even tended to cosplay sometimes, and others that she lost her virginity with a Lesbian in Aresium. Internets is serious business though, and such claims lack any solid proof. Cecily doesn't even blink when they are mentioned, caring nothing about what Anonymous think of her.
Clothing: Black and red short gown ragged and mended with staples, adhesive tape and superglue. Do It Yourself mentality sort of thing for people who lack skill on it, but like to look different and don't care what others think. Black flip-flops with heels and a plain collar of wooden beads.
Personality: Erratic is the best word to describe Lockhelm. A day ago Cecily would scoff at the very idea of being a patroness for a "social" event like such and comment about the mediocrity of wasting life away in such things, and tomorrow she is probably going to regret doing it, and then, while a day she would make a random internet post about the frivolity of Internet memes, the other she would be trolling furries under an Anonymous account. Fortunately her erratic social behavior both off and online does not reflect upon her way of handling diplomacy. Rude and cynical is probably another way, and Lockhelm isn't afraid of speaking what she really thinks, or of opening ridiculing furries, cosplayers and people who simply commit plain stupid acts, sometimes mentioning the gene pool as well. That Aaron Paul, the bitter and cynical public relations of Richard Dawkins Institute for Research of Memes is one of her best friends says enough. However, Cecily can be a great friend for those who manage to get past the barrier of her authentic self.
My third character, the mandatory redshirt black guy, like all extras, he doesn't even have any personality to be described and will have a very brief participation in this RP.
Now some important things to remember prior to adding a character:
Nearly everyone in Third Spanish States dislikes American Footbal. Soccer is mildly popular, but not as much as deathmatches and shooting contests. Think what if Utah Militias were anarchist.
It is usually easier to convince someone for a night of sex than for a serious date in Third Spanish States, in fact one would have to try really hard to keep virginity past fifteen years old except for Fatima, a Christian majority town. However I'd rather to avoid going too far into such route here, or I'll start linking "Prince Arturo goes to the Cheap University" at every post I make, and maybe even Close the Pool.
Instead of the usual cliques, usually Third Spanish States High Schools, and to an extent Colleges, have the following "food chain": Anonymous hackers, "pro" bitches(those hot enough to charge a price for it), free bitches(most young girls do anyone), average types, foreigners, wapanese, foreign jocks, foreign rich kiddies, furries and nonhumans(of any type).
There is no "prom queen" contests or alike. Their culture is emphatically cooperative and despises the "industry of beauty" as a "result of the intellectual decadence caused by capitalism". Which does not mean there aren't favored bitches.
They believe they are alone, in in Canon MT Third Spanish States only humans exist as sentient beings. Although this isn't going to be canon, don't expect a warm welcome if you send in an elf or specially a furry/kitsune/etc. They would go to great heights to have absolute certainty of the supremacy of the human species. The reactions wouldn't be entirely serious either.
High School and early College culture is ridden with Internet Memes.
Virtually nobody knows how to dance slowly... nobody knows how to dance at all besides foreigners. A few know Tango though.
Don't take this too seriously, of course.
*No joke here, there are real deathmatches inspired by the computer game versions, although they are fully voluntary, which players usually are people looking to go suicidal with style.
Disco Inferno begins?
