For the purposes of reference, I will state all the characters I'm using here.

There is the main Shiro transfers who are Kah'lad, Nee'la and Sha'la.

  • Kah'lad is a male soldier, formerly cadet, of the Dannistrian Army. He has had some difficult times in the past as he lost his parents post-civil war. He shows a small interest in modern Japanese/Infinite Loop culture. His only remaining "family" is a British ex-pat policewoman who had adopted Kah'lad as her "brother". He is also a so-called "Raven" or mecha pilot. In the Dannistrian context these are large robots known as "Armored Cores", used to bring large amounts of fire support especially over terrain where tanks are unable to negotiate.
  • Nee'la is a nekomimi with Dannistrian roots. She is very much the straight man of the Nee'la-Sha'la pair. She is an army nurse and was originally a temporary replacement for Kah'lad but has ended up at Shiro full time. She is an experienced medical practitioner and has been trained to near doctor/consultant level despite "only" being a nurse. She is also seen as the most mature and the "voice of reason" within the Dannistrian group. She is a long time childhood friend of Sha'la and it is implied Nee'la once was as wild a party animal as Sha'la but has since mellowed and matured.
  • Sha'la is another nekomimi with Dannistrian roots. She is the eldest daughter of a rich businessman who made his fortune in the IT industry. As such, Sha'la is something of a party animal who likes to drink and party a lot. Allegedly, she joined the army for fun, as she found her pampered lifestyle to be "boring". She isn't all show and no go, however. Sha'la has proven herself to be an excellent soldier and has come out at the top of all of her combat and officer training classes. She has risen through the ranks so quickly that she now holds a commissioned officer's rank as a result. Anecdotal evidence also suggests she has won several bar fights. She is also a mecha pilot or "Raven".
The other three Shiro transfers are relatively new characters or how aren't as major to my Shiro RPing.

  • Nah'diir is a Dannistrian Army soldier who works as a military Shaman (Think chaplain and unconventional warfare type in one go...sort of). He has been in Shiro for part of the second year but was forced to leave due to mysterious circumstances. He also has a talent for rifle shooting. Paradoxically he is useless with pistols and shorter range weapons. He also has a talent for brewing tea.
  • Li is a newly promoted air force officer who is of Bai Lungese origin (Half Korean, half Chinese). He is the son of an immigrant family who made their escape from Bai Lung to Dannistaan for a supposed better life. joined Shiro initially as a replacement for Nah'diir and as part of the extension to the Shiro program. He had to work hard to overcome racial prejudices to get where he is.
  • Sah'mahn'th or rather Samantha is the newest recruit. She is a petty officer in the Dannistrian Navy and is the only so-called "White Dannistrian" amongst the group. That is, she is of pure British origins. She is a bit shy and her Dannistrian isn't entirely brilliant as she was mostly schooled in a British ex-pats school. She is also a bit squeamish and doesn't like the sight of blood...or funny looking creatures...

Well, it would be better to have a named character than an unnamed one. I can't really choose, becouse I don't know the characters.

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.

I am not surprised that you left out Vincent (he also is roommate-less). I doubt many would like to be roomies with a person like that...

And as for what exactly I mean... That would take a while to adequately explain... and he ain't human.

Also, I have another problem(again). You know, I'll soon go to bed. Than I'll wake up, go to school and return at 3pm.(Budapest time). But while I'm sleeping, there's morning in America. Then BAMM, a dozen posts come, and I just become confused.

Terasu, in general, that's a problem with Shiro. It honestly doesn't matter what time zone you're in...I'm on American time, I am very commonly online, and I still easily fall behind in Shiro.

Thats just the nature of the thread, I'm afraid. Just gotta roll with it.

Actually, this is abnormally fast for Shiro. In any case, things are complicated by the fact that everyone is in one place right now. It probably won't stay that way for long, so things will get to the point where your character is only interacting with one or two others at any given time and you can ignore the others if you want.

ROFL... you're right, Laz. But sadly FPS is right. This is Shiro. I myself have the same problem, trying to cope.

If you'll allow an ex-frustrated-newbie to give you an advice... laugh at the whole situation and just grab the RPing hooks you'll receive from other players, time zones or not. :lol:

Otherwise, you'll just end up being angry at the situation... which is just the contrary of what should happen. After all, we're here to have fun!

Well, it also comes from the fact, that I feel inferior, becouse I'm still a new one here. I don't have such extensive history than the others, I don't even have a country in NS(well actually I have one called New Midriskott in Afghanistan region), but the point is I'm not one of you, and I get get confused easyly. I can't even speak english normally, so I have short posts, which are not so artistic, and of course don't appeal to the others.

Laz, you're not inferior. We're a group of boys and girls (uhm... PERHAPS there are girls, too) having fun. The vast majority of us (or better: the vast majority of THEM) is an english-speaker (canada, US, UK). But some others (like me) aren't. But despite that, I have to be fair with this bunch of primitive and bad american guys: they've never taken advantage of their mother-tongue against "strangers".

About the story of your nation... don't worry. It will come, day after day. Till now, you've been a brave "newbie": you've jumped in shiro, you've even had a thread of yours. That means you can well cope with this. You just need time.

And finally, abut being confused... don't worry. It happens to everyone, above all with shiro. Probably the ONE who's never confused is Kandarin, but we think he's not a REAL living being: probably he's just a computer, so you do not have to worry. And when you feel lost... just raise your hand and say: "hey! what the hell is going on?!?" Do it via PM or posting an OOc note. Someone will come to your help.

Because there is no "we + lazlow".

There's just a group. The RPers of TEP. And you're one of them (or "one of us"? :blink: hey... now it's ME the confused one... :lol:)

Just a question.

If I'm correct, we have the following NAMED students:

FPS -> Matt, Jill

Kand -> Anna

Loop -> Ellen

Terasu -> Hiro

Lazlow -> Laszlo

Dann -> half of the remaining Academy Kah'lad, Nee'la, Sha'la, Nah'diir, Li and Sah'mahn'th

Dov -> Nöêl

Reziel -> Jordan

EM -> Justin

Nameless -> (probably) Vincent



That said, my curiosity i the following: is someone roommate of someone else? Or all of our characters have different rooms?

Okay, so, at this point, I know there's been a lot of questions about room mates. I'd like to suggest room accommodations, if everyone is okay with them. Where possible, I've based them off RP that has already occurred.

I should note, everyone is on the fourth floor. In terms of room numbers...I based them off the two given numbers (401, Jill's, and 434, the triple of Matt and Jordan). I'm playing 401-405 as singles, 406-415 as doubles, and 415-440 as triples. If I've got you in a double and you want to be in a triple, its no problem...I merely put people in doubles when I couldn't find them a third person.

I'm pretty sure 413 is a triple with room for one more. Or at least, that's how we RPed it.

Drakken, just as a reminder, and to any other new person as well, as I said in my little character summary here, all my characters are from the military.

Also, aren't firearms not allowed to be carried by the students on campus? I'm lead to believe it isn't a neutral venue so you have to abide by local laws.

Okay, Dannistaan. My character will surely be happy to find yours.
And 6 characters! I´m getting used to manage one...
My character is the kind of guy who always carry guns (like Sgt. Sagara from the anime/manga Full Metal Panic) and is used to be above the law in his country, that´s why he carrying one in the campus. But since he is not a bad guy (just spoiled by his upbringing), he´ll surrender his gun to the nearest authority as soon as someone remind him he is not allowed to carry one. And he´ll learn to behave in time.

ps.: I´m an AC (and mecha in general)fan too! So i´ll not put mecha on Drakkengard Army (and my character as a pilot) to copy you (i imagined it that way from the start). And since you´re using ACs and ravens as part of your country, i´ll use the wanzers from Front Mission (square - snes/ps/ps2) as the mechas of my country, okay?
ps2.: I´m sorry for creating a room without asking... I thought it was to be done like this since the room numbers seemed aleatory to me.If Dovakhan agree, feel free to have a teacher or any character with authority over others to transfer my character and Dovakhan´s new character(Laurents) to a room in the fourth floor if the academy shouldn´t have this fifth floor i created.

The ACs the Dannistrians use look like the ones in the game but they are nowhere near as powerful as the ones in game (Think of it as them taking baby steps as Dannistaan uses a lot of old tech). I have no problem with you using ACs as well as long as the design isn't the same.

Also, I should've noticed the attitude of your character as I've seen the first season of Full Metal Panic and your character reminded me of someone but I couldn't figure it out until you mention Sagara. I point out that perhaps he shouldn't have a gun because of the strict security in Shiro Academy.

1- What´s is the best decision to correct the problem of my character´s gun in the Academy?
a) Edit my posts (although i don´t know how to do it in here...)
b) Just don´t mention that gun anymore in the RP
c) Throw local security on him

2- Okay. I´ll use some of the AC tech (downgraded of courde) on Drakkengard´s mechas too.:tu:

I'd just like to take the opportunity to point out that there are very, very few things that are forbidden in this thread, and most of them are common sense things (i.e. No hurting or killing characters without the permission of their players, no posting for characters that belong to someone else, etc.). In other words, if you want to have your character be horribly rude, or skip classes, or pull a gun or anything like that, go for it! We're not going to (OOCly) stop you. Just be prepared to RP the likely consequences of such an act.

Do NOT be fooled by Kandarin's sweet tone, Drak. When he says "consequences", he means "terrible things which will haunt your dreams for the whole eternity". Look at his member title. "Patron Saint of EVIL". Not "PS of Sweetness"... so beware!

He does. Teachers often give him (Sagara) into a whole heap of trouble for waving weaponry around. Having said that, according to the second season's first episode, it is implied that bribery is used on the principal to make her look the other way on his misdeeds and misunderstandings.
