Don't worry, no offense taken. Actually, Anna wasn't trying to be rude at all (and has no right whatsoever to accuse anyone of being undemocratic) but it's easy to see how she could sound that way. |

Okay, I've done some serious messing with the timestream here. It's pretty clear to me that a lot of folks weren't very comfortable with the ball setting to begin with, and/or were getting left out. So, as of the beginning of the newly opened thread, it is a few days after the start of the new (Spring) semester. I am assuming that all of our characters have returned to the Academy grounds at Tilden. If yours hasn't, that's okay! Your characters are wherever you want them to be, doing whatever you want them to do. Incidentally, now would be a good time to introduce new characters if you've got them. I recognize that some people still had some unfinished business in the old thread, so it's been left open for your past-RPing needs, and will remain that way indefinitely. I'm operating on the assumption that nothing *really* earth-shaking happened at the ball that hasn't been covered already. |

Uhm... just my two cents. The idea to move on is definitely great, but... can't we do something more and have a shiro-year-three? Many of the last newcomers have had serious problems because of the "middle term" setting. Perhaps, a "year three" would be more simple for everyone to handle. Who wants to change his char can have the chance to, without having to bang his own head against the wall looking for a plausible reason to kick a new student into an already-started-school-year. Finally, I have the impression the extreme slowness of Shiro has made it being extremely late with respect to the ongoing events in TEP. Probably the "year three" solution would help a general re-alignment, if that matters at all. |

OK, probably my mistake. Is this a secondary or a high school? And why the lessons don't start at 8.00? And where will I stay? And there are many more similar questions. |

I think it is supposed to be a multi-level establishment, so it has all manner of students (Correct me if I'm wrong). |

Shiro Academy is a broad-based, multi-level educational institution that includes a boarding high school, undergraduate college, graduate university, and a military academy. Students that attend the Academy, irrelevant of which of the four programs they primarily attend, are allowed to take classes from the other programs. In fact, if they so wish, they can apply for dual graduation (Matt, for instance, is going to be applying to graduate both from the High School and College, as he currently lacks a high school degree). There are some restrictions on those with primary enrollment in the high school, I'm sure, but I don't think any of our students are that, at this point. So, its irrelevant. In terms of living...most of us RP that we just happened to be placed in the same dorm. However, if you so preferred, there are alternate living arrangements...you could be in another dorm, have your own apartment, have your own house, etcetera etcetera. I'd personally suggest just picking the dorm, though, as it'll facilitate your meeting us. Singles, doubles, and triples are all available (triples being the norm). |

Triples being norm? In Hungary there are four or five students in a small room which hasn't been renovated since the '60s. Also I noticed that there are two active topics. Which one I should use? |

Oops. The first replacement thread was still on the forum. It's been locked by FPS and moved to parts unknown by me. As for the ones that are still open: "Shiro Academy Year 3" is the current thread. Anything going on in the present should be posted there. "Shiro Academy Year 2" is still open, but anything posted there happened six months previous at the FPS ball. Don't expect any big events or new story arcs. I've left it open because a few people still had a few things they wanted to post. I'll lock and merge it (somehow) with the other archived Shiro Year 2 thread when it's clear that nobody is interested anymore. ------- As far as I can tell, the dorm system at Shiro is based on that of American and western European universities where 2-3 students per room is the norm. The current dorm buildings were built sometime in the mid-'80s for Tilden Territorial University, in order to accomodate the educational needs of an IT boom that never came. It may be a bit more cramped than American dorms, since Shiro protocol dictates that 3 students should be assigned to a room whenever possible while the Tilden rooms were probably designed for 2 occupants or less given the jet-set nature of their original intended clientele. Still, it won't be anywhere near as crowded as the system you describe in Hungary (and presumably, Lazlowia). Perhaps your character might notice the difference? |

Laz, you get the room you want. If you want to be with unnamed students, go for it. If you want to be with some of the other players, go for it just the same. As for the computer... nope. The rooms do not have computers as standard equipment. But there is a "computer room" in each dorm (or on each floor. I do not know and I honestly think it doesn't matter). As a genral rule, unless you're looking for a dinosaurs' playing ground and/or a restaurant cooking Venusian salads, the Academy has everything you'll need to develop your RP. I mean... there is nobody hiding the secret maps of the Academy who'll jump out saying "ah-ha... you're wrong, the swimming pool is overe THERE! your post is wrong!" Relax!

Sheesh, Lazlow, you sound like a freshman! Seriously, though, just RP at will. The fact is that, last year, we almost completely ignored the dorm layout (did anybody else notice how everyone RPed the kitchen being the first room in the lounge, with the actual lounge being the second room in?) It doesn't really matter that much. |

Don't give me any ideas! But yeah, Rez is correct: If your RP ideas call for the Academy to have a certain thing, it has it. If your ideas for the Academy to lack a certain thing, it lacks it. If you think your character should have no roommate, or far too many roommates, or a particular character(s) as a roommate, make it so. There aren't a lot of rules in this thread. |

Okay! I'm assuming here that roommates are segregated by gender, so only boys are with boys and only girls are with girls. Shiro is progressive, but it's not THAT progressive. So that rules out half the cast. Fortunately, it was the creepy half. Let's look at who's left: Matthew Terrus Jr., FPS' character, hasn't got a roommate (his previous roommates having left and gotten themself kidnapped, respectively). Matt is the son of the FPS president of the same name, although he tries to keep this secret by lying about his last name. He is a child prodigy. Jordan (last name?), Reziel's new character, hasn't got a roommate as far as I know. He's a Rezielan military man here for the military program (I think). He's as new to this as Laszlo is. Justin Jung, East Malaysia's character, hasn't got a roommate as far as I know. Admittedly, EM has been away from RP for a while, but says he's reworked his nation and wants to come back. Justin is an East Malaysian prince with Empathy (trademark EMCORP). I'm not honestly sure if Cyril (Dovakhan's character) is back yet; the end of Shiro 2 had him getting shipped off for a year of mandatory military service that was part of the pricetag attached to his education. If he is, he hasn't got a roommate either. There are a couple of Dannistrian guys too, but they managed to pull off a legal religious loophole that says they get their rooms to themselves, the lucky gits. |

Well, I added a new character, Clone Hikaru is still around, but I am not sure how to use him the new one tho I hope to use to bring him out Public story, her name is Ellen Yohshinori, her parents wanted to give her a Western name and originally chose Erin, but due to a mix up at the hospital, they spelled it Ellen. she is a slightly above average student, and Eleven years old, Her father is In the IL Navy and is here in FPS to train Galactica crews on the new systems coming on an update in the fall. actual story, Shuu and his wife Nomiya are jsut that a military family, Ellen is technically adopted she is a Clone from Project Samantha and is stationed in the school to observe and possibly root out any links to the kidnappers and Nei. she has stage one powers (minor telekenesis and can slightly slow time (she seems to have really good reflexes basicly) |

I wondered... Students are allowed to furnish the room aren't they? And would those rooms be permanent for the student's stay or would they be switched around? And would there be an internet connection? |

Definitely an internet connection (but not wireless), there'd be provided furniture, and the room is designed to be the student's for the entire year, though he can get on the wait list to switch if there's some kind of problem. Best opportunities for that would be beginning of first and second semester. |

Cyril is gone, I haven't decided for how long. Kangarawa and I will probably sort out the logistics of that if/when Karen appears (*NOTE TO SELF*). Anyway, for those who don't know Nöêl, she's studying medecine at Shiro on a Dovakhanese scholorship. Her father is from Isslmeer, a partly French-speaking part of Dovakhan, and her mother is from Tokana, a semi-autonomous former Dovakhanese colony in the Indian Ocean. Tokans are related to Dannistrians, so Nöêl has darkish skin. Also, she's fairly feminist, but willing to use her feminine charms to get her way. (I hope I made that clear in my post :P) |

I think at this point it's been long enough that I owe an explanation for what's going on with my characters. Most of you already know this stuff and can ignore this post, but a few don't. Anna's new pet is a member of a species whom I've never given an exact name. Originally, they were simply Xiopothos' metroids, but since then I've tweaked the background to make them something different and unique, although anyone familiar with Games Workshop's Tyranids might see a few substantial analogies. This species are a nasty, horrible, hideous race of bug-like perfect killers. In addition to being biologically superefficient, fast, and ridiculously tough, their fundamental life essence is an "anti-life" of sorts. This has two effects. One, they are immune to magic, psionics, any superpowers I can think of offhand, and in fact anything that involves bending the rules of the natural universe. All of these things rely on the same energy, which this species is the antithesis of. Two, they are able to (indeed, they *must* on a regular basis) kill other lifeforms by sucking out their life energy/psi/chi/whatever-you-want-to-call-it. Several nations have made attempts to control them as weapons, all of which have ended in them turning on their captors. Anna has just brought one of these horrible things onto the campus. Or rather, she's done so again, because Anna herself is a member of the same species. The Kandarinese ruling class have modified her appearance to disguise her as a small human girl and cultured her as one of their own. Fortunately for the rest of the universe, she's quite happy with this, and has come to prefer thinking of herself in terms of the disguise over seeing herself as she truly is. She still has to kill things, though, and the dead animals strewn over Campus that Jill keeps finding are her doing. Due to some quirks in her species' psychology, the pet is essentially under her complete control. |
