The Metropolitan, moderately cyberesque cityscape of AEironire was a complex configured landscape which comprised of an urban setting merged with patches of forests and jungles. All enclosed within an outer force field which resembled the glazing of a glass dome.

It was a safe haven enclosed from the rest of the world given the devastating combined effects of adverse weather conditions and the knock-on potency of an atomic explosion. Whose nuclear matter and radiation densities had been transported worldwide through extra-torrential wind and weather patterns.

Life had been uneventfully peaceful within the landscape infrastructure for the last 2 years or so. However, populations were increasing and resources such as ores, food, pharmaceuticals and all other essentials were running out. With a stabilised but growing socio-economic culture - tension was beginning to break lose.

As it was, all was in peace and in balance for now. But for how long would the democratic society survive within the safe asylum until the outside world was free of radioactive ionisation, harbouring in the air? Potentially lethal and killing with an unknown half-life? And could the surviving populace hold out much longer in these confined conditions? Would the order be maintained with the regulating bodies of society without any shadow organisations unleashing their own corrupt plans governed by sinister motives?

Only time would tell.
___________________________

Sumervale PolyTechnic college.

The SumerVale PolyTechnic college was a lively and prosperous educational institute that stood within the city centre of AEironire. It was an institute that demanded high merit and caliber in order to be accepted for admission so application was naturally competitive.

Authentically built, modern and state of the art- it offered education for subjects of any kind that one wanted. Though there was a high demand for physicists and chemistry graduates for research and other such subjects that would aid the understanding of nuclear intervention and how to live with it. Or possibly ride through it…

And it was for the latter reason strange applicants were being accepted as of late. Not that anyone questioned the insitute’s authoratives. They knew best and everyone passively accepted their choices for school candidates and how the body regulated itself.

______________________________________

High Prefect’s office

“Having trouble fitting in again?” an authoratively polished voice enquired with a sharp calmness. His heliotrope eyes stabbed through the darkness, whilst the rest of the conservatory setting was obscured in ink black shadow.

“What’s it to you?” a cool voice replied, tempered with dark undertones. Cyaneous eyes penetrating the darkness as the respondent passively opened his eyelids. He was a medium-built, adolescent anthromorphian spined hybrid with long ears that draped over his shoulders.

Sitting back in his chair with his college blazer, white shirt and red tie, he folded his arms and swayed one of feet of his crossed legs impatiently. Fresh-faced and full of attitude.

Despite his bold retaliation, it was clear that this individual was holding fewer cards than his opposing speaker.

“We are the institute that took you in, you deprived street urchin. Don’t compromise your position.” The heliotrope eyes spoke with a fanged smile. His form faintly outlined as the dark clouds outside drifted to reveal some moonlight that crept through the window pane behind him.

“You might have some talent that would benefit this institute. Otherwise we could’ve left you out there in the radioactive outback… living within the confines of chocking smog and acid rain.”

“So you took me in for a reason? Right? Otherwise why put up with my attitude?” the neon-green eyes spoke with a toothy smile that shone through the darkness. He stood up and folded his arms to exhibit his bold disposition.

“They took me in for a reason too…” the authoritarian spoke coolly as he slowly rose.

The green donning eyes suddenly widened in panic as he found his neck abruptly locked within the elbow belonging to a strong-abled body behind him. He then realised that the durable grip in fact belonged to the head boy he was talking too. He gasped and coughed, his eyes narrowing as he stared at the figure behind him from the corner of his eye with contempt.

“My power outmatch yours by a long shot punk. And I’ve been here longer than you have. So don’t make me end this too soon for your repeating sophomore career…” the voice finished, before hefting the student and throwing him through door of the room. Flying he went-the door knocked off its hinges as he found himself rolling against the carpet of the hallway and eventually crashing into a flower pot vase. Its china cracking into shards which danced upon the carpet, before settling down with the soil, roots and leaves of the indigenous plant that was once contained.

The hallway light revealed the casualty in question. The anthromorphic, teal hybrid dressed in casual uniform blazer and shirt, tie and trousers wearily picked himself up and massaged his aching forehead as he gathered his bearings after the brutal dealing.

He dusted himself of the debris, grit and palm leaves before combing his spined thick hair with his fingers gruffly. He took one last look over his shoulder from where he had been thrown out and narrowed his eyes.

“Pft, I can take him down. The head boy and all of those Prefects…” he drawled with anger, before turning to make his way down the abyss of the high office sector within the institute. Jogging down the stairs to catch the assembly which was to start within 10 minutes…

_______________________________________________________________

Hallway, Sophomore welcome

The teal student continued his way down the hallways. Entering the student zone, which was bustling with festivity in the form of new sophomore students chatting to one another and other institute tutors serving canapés.

He found himself irate and agitated as he tried to push through all the new ‘happy-go-lucky’ sophomores. And tutors that will have recognised him from last year.

He felt a sense of anger and despondence as he looked on at everyone. Really naïve and ignorant of the whole ensemble is what he thought. Likely to be feel so proud and gratified to be here.

But it was all a lie…

The only thing the new students should have felt from being here should’ve been a sense of gratitude that they weren’t here the year before. They honestly didn’t know what they were getting themselves into…

“Hey!” a girl suddenly bumped into the hybrid. It was a blond creature with aqua-green eyes and was roughly 5’7 in height. A little shorter than the teal student himself.

“I’m Sakura. I’m one of the new students here starting in the Sophomore year,” she smiled cheerfully “and I trust you are too right? What’s your name?”

The teal hybrid jerked back his face and gave the blond hedgehog an insolent look, before turning on his heels and clearing off from the grand hallway. Pushing past some of the seniors and adults, one of them spilt their wine on their suit as a result which caused him to wave a vengeful fist in his direction. In spite of the fact the student’s back was turned and he would therefor be unable to see it.

The student boy stopped again. Same creature. But different somehow... was it the hair? Brunette with pink high-lights? He didn't really pay attention to the last girl he had bumped into but either way there was an uncanny resemblance.

“Hi! I baked these cookies as a welcome… do you want one?” she tilted her head welcomingly as she held out a tray of baked goods.

“You again? Just get out of my way. I don’t need your stupid welcome parties…” he deliberated for a moment as he cast his eyes upwards in thought, before turning back to look at the tray-carrying girl with a look of contempt “… OR your cookies!”
With that, he pushed passed Sayuri- the twin sister of Sakura- before heading outside. Into the school gardens and fountains as nightfall continued to prevail.

“Well what’s his problem… ?” Sayuri sighed with a sad look on her face as she tilted her ears downwards “honestly. Why do some people have to be so mean?”

She looked ahead at the other new students all around, wondering if they might be a little more forthcoming in introducing themselves. Or accepting a cookie at the very least.

____________________________________

OOC:

Ok this RP is just an excuse for a high-school RP

Or better still, College- set in a post-modern dystopia.

The introduction is just a setting but don’t feel limited to expand within the AEironire confines as it were.

It would be easiest to enter as a student though so I suggest that. Students at the school have been accepted either because they are academically gifted, or they have a talent. The Hybrid (whose name I won’t disclose yet) has a super natural ability which he gained from the nuclear effects of the outside world which is why he was taken into the school. That is against the law of AEironire to take anyone out of the radioactive environment but the school obviously have some sinister undertakers.

This is really a B-side RP. Of moderate level but please help all beginners should you join and if you’re one of the experienced roleplayers.
Sakura and Sayuri are twins who belong to Sayuri Solo Courage from DA. Welcome to her ^^. Be nice please.

Any questions, don’t hesitate to OOC here or pm me. (:

OOC: Sounds interesting! Verrrrry interesting, indeed! I love the whole setup actually, I'm not normally a fan of school based rps but I can see myself getting behind this one. I particularly like the idea of the glass domed city and the mystery and intrique that surrounds the world around it. Very intriquing indeed, and I have to admit I love the idea of a more chilled out and relaxed type rp, too. Especially considering how busy I am with other rps too plus creating a new rp soonish as well... yup, this ticks all of Ash's loveboxes. XD

Let's see where we can go with this then, shall we?

--------------------------------------------------

IC:
The teacher stood back, away from the interacting students as he busily scarfed down a plateful of food and dined on the sumptuous cookies he had partaken from one of the blonde twins whose names he had to confess he couldn't remember. But even then, he rarely remembered any of the students names who came to this school, even those in his own classes. He often had difficulty even remembering most of the students, bar those who tended to be remarkably exceptional for extraordinary reasons.

He pushed the glasses back onto the bridge of his nose, as he continued to smile out at the crowds of students collected, his slicked back blue hair giving him a rather serene air about him. Professor Albaz worked for the college moreso for the funding grant that he used to help him research the effects of the outer world, and whilst he rarely ever left his laboratory and research, even ignoring the majority of his own classes, he couldn't resist free food. And there may still yet have been some particularly interesting new students, whom might be interesting and in some instances valuable to his research.

Like the angry teal hybrid who burst out of the hallway and rather rudely brushed past the sweet twins handing out free cookies (which he'd have to remember to pick up some more of before they were all gone). He was a rather interesting character, from what Professor Albaz could remember of the last year. Professor Albaz laughed at the Hybrid's actions, and then continued to down his food merrily.

--------------------------------------------------

OOC: What's that, you say? Experienced rper taking charge of an experienced, if but eccentric, teacher? Oh ho ho. Always here to offer advice bar IC and OOC! n___n

Also, Sayuri Solo Courage sounds familiar. Verrrry familiar. Hmm...

OOC: This caught my eye somewhat, so I think I'll settle on down for some RPing. If I vanish for too long feel free to PM me and/or punch me through the face. A quick question though Ben, those characters with abilities, do we have to disclose said abilities up front, or can we leave them secret for now? I mean I assume you'd want to know them so I can send you details in a pm, but for others? It dosn't really make a difference to me, but, yanno, mystery.

IC:

Rufous Jameson sat quietly at the back of the classroom, watching the interaction quietly and trying not to be noticed. The anger visible in that tall hybrid's body language and audible in his tone making the chocolate coloured wolf shrink back into his chair, ears pinned back under his big, wide headphones. That was somebody he obviously didn't want to mess with.

Sighing a little, he tried to calm his nerves, reaching between his legs and shuffling a little to uncurl his tail, that had tucked there, trying to pass the motion off as tucking in his messy school shirt, the yellow t-shirt clearly visible beneath. The fur on his neck settled as he steadied himself. Oh well. At least that girl with the cookies seemed nice. Maybe he would talk with her.

Possibly.

Eventually.

OOC: All right, here I am! Sorry I'm a bit late! Its been a crazy day. n.n Thanks so much for the invite and the intro! Oh, just one thing though... Sayuri is brunette with pink highlights, and Sakura's the blonde one. n.n; They basically look like recolours of each other. I should really do proper pics of the two... ANYWAY!

~*~*~*~*~*~

I.C.:

"I don't know, but I'm gonna find out."

Sakura growls. She TRIED to be nice and avert from her normal anti-social ways for her sister's sake today, but this guy just went too far. The aqua green-eyed hedgehog girl will jog up to the teal student and slide to a stop right afront him.

"You just stop right there, turn yourself around and apologize to my sister, mister! A simple no thank you would do instead of pushing people around like some violent minded neanderthal!"

... like Sakura's one to talk. She actually got expelled from a previous school for defenestrating a guy who flipped Sayuri's skirt. She MIGHT have gotten off with a month or so of detention, or possible a temporary suspension... had it not been for the fact she defenestrated him from the third story and into an empty dumpster below. Quite protective, she is.

"She has very sensitive feelings, so go apologize before I really get upset with you, Buzzard Bait!"

OOC: Aw thanks for joining guys (:
Ash good to have you on! :D And thanks for the compliments. Glad you approve. No worries, the RP probably won't be too focused on school and class. It's advantageous to have in many ways cos it gives an excuse for a social setting. Love your character. Can't believe he laughed at mine... cheek of it all xD Had to lol @ the excuse for free food as well.

CD, OMG!! I pmed you but I'll say it again, it's super dooper to be RPing with you again. Wayhey! Indeed you can hold fire with any power revelation til later on and such. 😉 And loving Rufous already. I'll try not to have 'teal' be nasty to him.
Punch you in the face? Can I bap you on the nose afterwards too? xD No worries, I've become good at bugging people for any reason whatsoever so you can trust me to keep you in the loop if all goes well.

Sakura, yeha! Well done you made it. I corrected Sayuri's outlook there in my intro post. Sorry about that ditsy moment. And wow the twins sure do have different temperaments alright huh? Better think hard about my next post. Look forward to what you have to offer,

Yes, in spite of hectiness all around with RP's and RL... why not another? lol Give it a go anyways (:

IC:

School Hallway

The teal hybrid's eyes opened wide with shock. He had to admit, he hadn't expected such a bold move from the blond hedgehog there. She seemed like one of those 'overly' friendly individuals who'd greet people so hospitably and chat away until the cows came home.
Instead of finding himself recluse, far away from everyone else- he found the blond creature standing right in front of him. Giving him a glare that would make an ice-storm look warm.

"She has very sensitive feelings, so go apologize before I really get upset with you, Buzzard Bait!"

"...oh right... the girl with cookies..." the hybrid comprehended "you're sisters..." he muttered under his breath.

"Darn right you jerk!" Sakura answered him assertively "I am not going to ask you again. You go over there and apologise to her right now. Or I will make you regret what you did."

The hybrid clicked his tongue as he threw his glance to look at the ground with contempt. In his mind this was all ridiculous. He really felt her sister needed to grow herself a backbone and why should he apologise.
Still... what if he would regret it? He didn't know anything about her. And even if he did want to take it out in a battle of brawns, now wasn't the right time or place.

"...ok fine..." he mumbled, walking passed her towards Sayuri. Who was still standing in the distance. A little forlorn with her tray of cookies.
The hybrid turned to look over his shoulder, noting that Sakura was still watching him with a cold glare.

"Hey..." the hybrid reluctantly said as he stepped in front of Sayuri "sorry for being a jerk."

"...I guess..."

Sakura had caught up with the two creatures and had heard the last sentence. Her gaze hardened to another level.

"...right..." the hybrid met the gaze with a sullen expression on his face, before turning to look at Sayuri "my name is Reynor. What's yours?"

______________

Behind Rufous stood a three-tailed vulpine. The first striking freature on her face being the heavy black eye make-up and the long blond hair that draped over her shoulders. By instant profiling one might view her as the rock-chick, or emo type of student.

Her name was Athena O'shea and she was in the 2nd year of the institute. She had earlier noted Reynor busting through the hall and departing abruptly. An air of aggression about him.
She also noted Professor Albaz about the vicinity. Picking at canapes as he made his way around. Likely he was just here for the food. Then he'd disappear into the shadows to continue his research on his geeky subjects.
Typical.
She also couldn't help but notice him laugh at Reynor's expense. A bit insensitive considering he was repeating the year? That's a hard time for anyone to go through.

Dismissing her thoughts, she turned her attention back to Rufous.

Noticing the headphones being donned by the Rufous, who was sitting at the back of the classroom- she managed to walk behind him and tap him on the shoulder. Wondering if it was enough to gain his attention.

"Hey you, what are you listening to?" she asked, ready to judge him on his taste of music.

Sayuri smiles a little after the apology, her nature of not being able to stay angry at anyone for long surfacing.

"My name is Sayuri. Sayuri Hope Solo, but my friends usually just call me Sayu for short."

Is her soft spoken and sweetly smiling reply. The brunette, pink eyed hedgehog will then turn to her blonde sister.

"And this is my twin sister Sakura, the older of the two of us. her full name is Sakura Courage Solo, but everyone usually just calls her Saku for short. In any case, its a pleasure meeting you Reynor."

She offers her hand for a shake, since he obviously didn't want a cookie earlier, thus she won't press that issue. Sakura isn't shaking hands yet, aqua green eyes wandering about. Something feels off here... she's just not sure what. Maybe its just her cynical attitude acting up again.

OOC: Glad to be aboard, shug. I miss the old days, lazy as I've become.

IC:

The lupine yet out a yelp at the tap, his fur standing on end instantly. Turning quickly in panic, while still managing to shuffle slightly away on his chair, he spotted Athena and relaxed a bit. Just another student. He had no idea what else it could be in a classroom of course, but still... Letting out his breath to calm himself, he chewed a little on the end of his pencil.

"Um.. it's a um, self help tape. For concentration, you know?" He replied sheepishly, looking down from her gaze.

OOC: Hi there, Sayuri! Welcome to the Mobius Forum and the RP Guild! n___n It's always nice to see a new face! Well, I say that, but I get this feeling of... deja vu. Have you been a member of the forum before, or have we chatted across maybe dA sometime ago? Regardless of if we have or haven't, its awesome to see you and it should be a blast to rp with you, too!

IC:
Another new student stood at one side of the classroom, surrounded in a group of other freshman and chatting with them. A roarish collective of laughter could be heard from the group, as all of their attentions were turned to the friendly, widely smiling charmer who laughed and joked with them. Eventually, the new student waved goodbye to the others, before proceeding to move along and greet other new students with a warm smile and hearty laugh.

His name was Trey Stane, a friendly and approachable dog breed with a messy hair style, which really could have done with a haircut. Despite the mop on his head's rather unkempt condition, the rest of him was dressed impeccably. No loose shirt or tie anywhere to speak of.

He had seen another couple of student gatherings, one involving a rather shy looking student being spoken to by an attractive, distinctive looking emo/punk type student whom Trey was sure was probably older than the rest, and another grouping of two extremely similar looking girls (twin sisters?) speaking to that teal hybrid whom had made such a scene moments earlier.

Trey would have introduced himself, but he knew it was rude to butt into another person's conversation, even to introduce himself. He just carried on walking, looking for someone else to mingle with.

OOC: thank you for inviting me here i'm a new to this place in but with RP i guess i can say i'm somewhat experienced though i wish i knew much to say and how to say and that i knew how to speak correctly again but that is how i speak online and that is how my characters speak ._.' heh ^_^'''

IC:
From another corner of the classroom, one of the new students stand alone watching the many other students walking around speaking with one another. Noticing the teal hybrid pushing past them causing a bit of a noise which bother him abit. speaking quietly to himself he continued to scan the room as if he were looking for one who was to hunt him down and end him there though he would know that should not happen in such a place as this.

"Hmm? What was that all about? "

The dark hedgehog continued to mumble questions to himself until he pushed them all behead and focused himself again on the large crowd of new students.

A pair of emerald eyes had watched Reynor's passage with mild interest from near the refreshment table. Those eyes belonged to a slim, tall black cat. A thin, vaguely amused smile crept onto the cat's lips before he sipped at his drink.

Someone hailed him from afar and began chatting with him. All the while, the cat was utterly disinterested in the talk, it being little more than school gossip not fit for print on the lavatory walls. In fact, those emerald eyes were intrigued, indeed mesmerised, by the cookies up for the taking - and the attractive brunette dispensing them. The cat politely excused himself from his conversation and, trying not to appear too eager, advanced toward the cookie girl. Quickly calculating how best to be present himself, he slowed his pace and approached the brunette with the single-mindedness of a homing missile. Something was feverishly tugging at the corner of his mind, and his eyes shifted ever so slightly to notice a blonde beside her, glaring in his direction. The cat did not miss a step; he kept walking toward the brunette. Any double take now would appear to be markedly unusual, and that was a poor first impression to make.

"Excuse me," he said in a low voice. "Might I ask for a cookie?"

Sakura looked the cat up and down. The black hair on his head was slicked back and he had a professional, composed aura about him. His green eyes, slightly closed, seemed more fixated on the brunette hedgehog than the cookies she had, and Sakura felt red flags going up left, right, and centre. Suddenly, his eyes flashed toward her, as if inquiring about why she had such a look about her. He took this to mean she wanted to know who he was.

"My apologies for not introducing myself," he said. "My name is Tyler Smith."

There was something somewhat charming about him, and yet Sakura knew she had heard that name before. Perhaps a bit of gossip here or there about the callous way he romanced the pretty girls and then discarded them once he grew tired of them during freshman year, or a little scurrilous detail about how he had so easily ingratiated himself with the preps at the beginning of last year and was, if not liked, at least tolerated by the upperclassmen.

There he was, in the fur, flashing a million watt smile designed to charm snakes out of their skins and the lasses out of...well...Sakura had her suspicions about Tyler Smith, as if Reynor did not already cut an odd enough character.

OOC: Hey Kate!~ Like Ash, I'm usually not interested in school-type stories, but as always your RP has a pretty sweet twist to it. I'd really love to join right now, but now would not be the best timing for me, as I have finals during the next two weeks, so I don't want to risk getting caught up in another RP just yet. /dies. I'd hate to join then suddenly drop. x__x This RP doesn't look too difficult to keep up in, so I shall try~ If I don't lag behind too much and if things don't progress to a point where it'd be a bit difficult to join, I'll try to hop in in a couple of weeks. :3 I have a good recently-developed character in mind for it as well.

The young woman watches the gathering around the cookie tray through tilted eyes. She is a most unusual sort, with pale grey fur not as thick as that of most of the others', save for thick stormcloud-grey ruffs around her wrists and ankles. She has tufted lynx-like ears and a lion-like tail, but her facial features are somewhat human. She tugs uncomfortably at her school uniform, tail twitching. She had been outside, until Reynor had burst through the doors, followed by a blonde female. The ensuing confrontation had set her even more on edge than she already was, and she thought it best to keep an eye on things. Fortunately, it looks like the teal hybrid was not going to cause a huge fuss, thank goodness. Still, something about him registers as familiar. Maybe it's something in the way he acts, but she has a feeling that they might have something in common....

((If you want a rough idea of her looks, I have a picture here of a very similar character, though Sihr is only about nine inches tall whereas this character is more like 5'9".))

OCC:
I find this very fun to do like reading a story from a vovel or something ^_^

IC:
facing yet again at the crowd, the dark hedgehog soon stood up and walk over to the cookie girl. walking casually past everyone else but hoping not one person would notice him walking past them all.

"Excuse me miss..."

he asked almost as if he were muttering his words.

"may I have one of your cookies?"

though he seemed a abit uninterested in the treat he knew he had not eating in a while and would be good for him to have one small treat.

OOC:
i really hope to rp like this. since really this is a first for me and i hope what i type is okay ^^'''
