Calamity Boarding School, also known as the school closest to Hell. It’s a miracle that the school hasn’t been shut down and its students sent off to juvenile hall, or a mental asylum. This school is most likely one of the worst places to be on earth. No family in their right mind would send their child here. Hell, half of the students that attend aren’t even human.
The school’s become more of a city rather then an actual school, with students more concerned about surviving rather then learning. Even a class system has been put into effect.
And it’s not like the teachers are any better then the students. While there are still a few who try to gie the students some education, a majority of them have gone to do their own thing and have eventually a part of the class system.
And to make matters worse, disaster befalls the school on almost a regular basis. Alien invasions, deranged psychos bent on world domination, rogue dieties, you name it, it’s happened.
But anyway, enough about the school. A new year is starting and a new batch of fresh meat, er, I mean, new students, are unfortunate enough to be starting at this heck hole of a school. Every yar so far has been a rollercoaster of insanity and disaster. Will this year be any different?
Probably not, but anyway. I’ll leave you with this last piece of advice, hold on tight, because it’s going to be one hell of a ride.
Well, that’s enough for the plot. Now I’ve got a lot of explaining to do. This is pretty much a high school RPG. There’s not much of a plot, it’s pretty much just spending a year (or more, it depends) at one of the worst schools on earth. Now, before we go to the sign up, there’s a lot of stuff that needs explainin’. First up:
The Class System
As mentioned in the so-called plot, Calamity Boarding School has taken on a class system of its own. It’s pretty much divided into four classes.
Upper Class: The aristocracy of Calimity Boarding. These guys pretty much rule the school, along with the teachers. These guys live in the dorms (a privilage reserved only for them, the teachers and on some occasions the Middle Class). These guys got into power for one of three reasons, power, wealth or popularity. Mostly it’s a combination of the three. If you want a really good chance of making it a Calamity Boarding, try to make friends with these guys.
Middle Class: These guys don’t have it as good as the Upper Class. While they still get to sleep in the dorms, they are forced to share them amongst themselves, unlike the Upper Class who get it all to themselves. Some even have to sleep outside the dorms with the Lower Class. Apart from the dorms, there’s not much difference between them and the lower class.
Lower Class: These guys make up everyone else in the school. Unlike the first two classes, these guys don’t get to sleep in the dorms, they sleep everywhere else. Whether it be the classrooms, the caferteria, the gymnasium, noone really cares. Those who are unfortunate to have to sleep outside are usually given tents (provided by the Upper and Middle Class). While they don’t have it as good as the other two classes, they don’t really mind. Some people actually prefers this over the other two classes.
Teachers: The final class, these guys are similar to the Upper Class. While most get dorms, some choose to take up residence in their classrooms. What sets them apart from them and the majority of the Upper Class is the privilage of going into the Teacher’s Lounge (more on that later).
Ok, now that that’s out of the way, it’s time for:
Hazards:
As I’ve already mentioned, Calamity Baording is a really dangerous place. Now, we’re not talking about fires and such, I’m talking about all the stuff you thought wasn’t possible. Here’s a list of just a few of them.
Zombies: When you go to a school who’s Gym is built on an indian buriel ground, you’re bound to get the occasional zombie hord trashing the place and turning the students into mindless undead. They’re not much of a threat. They’re slow, mindless and all you have to dois take out their head. Although on some occasions it takes more then that.
Aliens: People often wonder if there was intelligent life in the universe. Well, obviously there isn’t, because of there was, they’d start their invasion anywhere but at Calamity Boarding. They may have superior technology, but seriously, if you try to take over/destroy Calamity Boarding, you’re asking for your invasion to backfire.
Dieties: Now, these guys are the interesting ones. They usually come to our realm for one reason for another, either it be to destroy all humanity, to bring about the end of the world, or just to go on vacation, one thing’s for sure, when one turns up, heads will roll. Especially if said diety falls in love with you.
Giant Mecha: For one reason or another, you’re almost garunteed that some form of giant mecha will trash the school. Whether it’s because it’s involved in some great battle or the pilote (most likely one of the students) didn’t read the manual, part of the school’s going to get demolished, so, for you’re safety, if you see a giant mecha, RUN.
This is just a few of the hazards that occure at Calamity Boarding School. There are others, mutant insects, mad scientists, super villian wannabes among others. Either way, you’re not going to be board this year.
Now, for one last thing. There’s no point in going to Calamity if you have no idea about where to be, so here’s a quick guide on:
Locations:
Dormitories: Dorms are the calamity equivilent to penthouses. The dormatory building’s two stories high. The Upper Class and the Teachers take the dorms on the top floor, while the middle class take the dorms on the bottom floor. It’s as simple as that.
Courtyard: A place normally busling with activity. A place for socialising and shopping. A numberm of students (mostly Lower Class) set up their stalls to sell their stuff (whatever that may be). You can even get weapons here. But, of course, this isn’t that big a deal since you need to defend yourself.
Cafteria: As you may have already guessed, this is a place for eating. A number of the students have taken up jobs here to make a quick buck. Stage performances are sometimes held at night here, so it’s a good idea to stay up late.
Gymnasium: When not in use, this place is similar to the courtyard, but when events are being held, the place almost becomes like an arena. Mainly sporting events and shows that couldn’t be shown at the cafeteria take place here. Although if you’re in the Lower or Middle Class, these events aren’t free. The Upper Class and the Teachers get off because most of the time, they’re sponsering the events.
Classrooms: Believe it or not, there some teachers who want to educate the students here. What’s more surprising is that most of the students will attend these classes from time to time. Even some of the Upper Class come, although most of them get private tutoring.
Teachers Lounge: This place is almost like an exclusive club. Only the teachers and a select few of the Upper Class are allowed here. A very posh place where you can expect the best. All the grand decisions regardign the entire school are discussed here.
Wow, that was a lot. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get on to what’s important. The sign ups.
Name: duh
Age: also duh.
Gender: I will allow both, but only on certain cases. PM me first.
Race: be creative here. You hacve all the freedom in the world.
Class: Teacher, Upper, Middle or Lower, take your pick. However, I do not want too many Teachers or Upper Classmen. I want mainly Lower Classmen. If you’re a new student at the school, put new also.
Appearance: duh
Personality: also duh.
Weapon: like I said before, be creative, you’ve got no limits. Optional
Powers, etc.: This is the really fun part. There’s no limits here. Heck, you can even have the power to destroy the earth, just don’t expect to use it often, and if you do, don’t expect the Earth to stay destroyed.
History: duh
Relations: duh

And now, here’re mine.
Name: Gabrael
Age: ????
Gender: Male
Class: Upper
Race: unknown. Rumours are going around that he’s a human, angel hybrid.
Appearance: He’s got long, pure white hair which reaches down the center of his back and a face that can only be described as beautiful. His eyes are normally blue, however, ome people report that they change colour, depending on his mood. He’s got a lean, yet well sculptured figure (this is uncertain since the only skin shown is his face and that’s it).
As for clothing, Gabrael’s attire mainly consists of black, white and gold (most white). He wears a white, long sleeved, thin turtlenecked shirt with a white over coat over it with gold trim (this is usually done up). He also wears white pants, white gloves with gold trim and black, rather expensive looking shoes.
Personality: This guy’s a bit of an enigma. He’s quite and usually spends his time in thought. He’s soft spoken, gentle and well cultured. A number of people describe him as a ‘nice guy’.
Weapon: He wields two, rather ceramonial looking swords. The metal almost appears white with some gold. He calls these swords seraphin and cherubin.
Powers, etc.: He has an ability which has become known as ‘The Force’. He can move objects with his mind, control peoples minds, along with other actions, not unlike the Force from ‘Star Wars’ (hence its name). Rumours have spred about his other abilties, including that he has a pair of angel wings. Although, these rumours have not been confirmed nor denied.
History: Gabrael’s been a ‘student’ at Calamity Boarding for a while now and is a well known member of the Upper Class, mainly due to the mystery that surrounds him. He’s become notorious for his ‘Force’ abilities and the rumours constantly surrounding him. He’s become incredably popular with the ladies (as do most pretty boys) but he doesn’t seem interested in any of them.
Not much is known about his past. The most people can say is that he just appeared all of a sudden and became a student at the school.

Other:
Name: Zasz (his last name is unknown).
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Class: Lower
Appearance: Zasz’s got wild, tangled brown hair which is tied into a ponytail and eyes which don’t match (one’s brown, the other’s grey). He has the sorta roguish charm that draws people to him (that, and his antics tend to draw attention).
As for clothing, Zasz wears a black suit, well, it would be a suit if he wore it properly. The jacket’s usually undone. The pants are held up with a large brown belt, the white undershirt is usually slopilly tucked in and his cuffs are normally undone. Even the tie to go with the suit is missing. He also wears a pair of dark brown shoes.
Personality: Zasz considers himself a bit of a slacker, mainly lazing about when there’s nothing to do. He does get serious when he’s on the job, but not much though. He’s also a bit fo a prankster. It’s wise not to get on his bad side, or else expect public humiliation like no other. Over all, he’s a pleasant guy to be around, although he can be a bit of an idiot at times.
Weapon: A pair of blades strapped on his forearms. They’re usually hidden underneath his sleeves but all he has to do is jerk his arm for them to slide out.
Powers, etc.: Apart from his mad fighting skills, not much. He does seem to have hightened sense, since he can hear and see what’s going on from a fair distance. But apart from that, nothing.
History: Zasz’s sorta like a mercenary at Calamity Boarding. He takes a number of jobs including deliveries, teaching certain people a lesson and on some occasions body guarding (this is mainly for the Upper Class). When he’s not doing jobs, pulling pranks on people or dealing with the constant hazards that plague Calamity Boarding, he’s normally slacking off at the cafeteria.
He was originally sent to Baording after getting expelled from his other school (he still insists that he was framed). He’s been here for two and a half years.
Relations: none yet

Zasz
-----------------------------------
The bruenette stirred slightly as the sunlight slowly brought him from his sleep. He slowly opened his eyes as he mumbled softly. He was laying on the floor in the kitchen of the cafeteria. Zasz had always slept in that area and was probably even willing to fight for it if anyone ever tried to take it.
This was quite understandable. The kitchen wasn’t a bad place to set up camp. There was always food, it was clean for most of the time and if anything attacked, he could always use one of the knives available. The only problem was that you could never get a sleep in. The cooks would eventually wake your ass up along with everyone else who chose to sleep there.
He let out a small yawn as he stood up and looked over at the clock. It was ten past seven. The cooks should be coming soon. Then it dawned on him,
It was the first day of the school year. A number of students had gone home for the holidays, but most of them (himself included) stayed at the school. The majority didn’t have family of their own and some just prefered the school over their homes.
A small smile crept on Zasz’s face as he went to grab an apple to munch on. It wuold be good to see everyone back.
A new year. A whole new year of fun was ahead of him.
“Good mornin’ world.”
Gabrael
---------------------------------
Gabrael had always been an early riser. He sat by his window, watching the sun rise. His room was decorated with blue and green crystals, so when there was no other light, the room seemed to glow with an unearthly green and blue light. Apart from the crystals, his room was furnished with highly expensive furniture.
Gabrael loved watching the sun rise. Many things with nature fascinated him, especially things as beautiful. But this sunrise was much more important then any other.
“And so, the year begins.”
Soon, everyone would be back at the school, and maybe even a few new faces. Sure, all the previous years had been chaotic and riddled with disatser and adventure, and this one would probably be the same.
But, he wouldn’t have it any other way.
The white haired enigma looked over at his two swords, Seraphin and Cherubin. Thankfully, he rarely had to use these against the other students. The only times were against idiots who wanted to take on the ‘pretty boy’. He smiled, remembering those times.
Then he realized that he was hungry. It was probably time to have some breakfast. However, today, Gabrael didn’t really feel like having any of the lucious breakfasts he and the upper classmen normally ate. He actually felt like something from the cafeteria. Sure, it wasn’t the best food in the world, but there was no other food like it. It had something that Gabrael enjoyed greatly. He stood up and headed for his closet, pulling out his shirt and coat. After getting dressed, he’d go get some breakfast.
Let the year begin.
