Excited to get started, just have a few questions:

• Around time period are we aiming for?
• Where exactly is Arkham in this story! I know it’s usually around the New England area, but I just want to double check
• Do we have to have access to open the map? I can’t seem to see it when I click on the link

Same here!

Good golly I forgot to include time period I was aiming for our current time period.

Arkham is in Massachusetts, and we love double checking in this household

Another oops, I’ll get that fixed. Laptop just died so I’m stuck on my phone until I get home but will try!

Updated the CS a bit more, but let me know if I’ve missed anything else.

We are curious to know what courses are available to choose from? Is it really any existing modern course, or does this particular institute have only certain/fitting courses?
Additionally, what are the year ranges and their correlating ages? I assume the US academic system is similar to my own in the sense that anyone of any age can pursue an education but is there maybe an age range we're trying to stay within?
Thanks

MU is very heavy on sciences and med with a select few liberal arts courses (like anthropology, modern or classical languages, and modern or ancient history). They aren’t very art heavy or modern for that matter, having only fine arts and art history for the artistically inclined students. One of the major NPCs is a fine arts student

The “year” field is only to indicate how long they’ve been studying at MU. Here’s one of the NPCs as an example:

Full Name: Ophelia Mannheim
Course & Year: Fine Arts, 2nd Year
Age: 23

Age doesn’t really matter it’s when the student enrolled. There are some first year mature students for example since people can sometimes choose to study later on in life or even study another bachelor’s degree. For this story’s sake however, age parameters will stay within the 20s.

Haha I understand the tediousness. It’d be ideal but you don’t have to, you could even post it later on if you find one that matches the description.

PFFF I think I remember seeing this. Amusing read. Definitely not how our story’s site would be like though

Aww I’m glad Definitely important roles (not a plug for the roles or anything haha).

 

[verdantdreams]

Hey everyone! I’ll be closing the CS sheet thread by the end of the week and posting up the starter. Any more story tidbits for your character you’ve forgot to mention, please do so now so I can implement your character as much as possible into the plot, whether it be knowing an NPC or whatnot. All significant people in the second half of your CS will not be played by you unless for a good reason as I may or may not be using them in the story. And don’t forget to check the CS’ first post for any information regarding locations and questions with answers.

Until then, have a listen to the songs I’d think would fit as MM’s opening sequence if it had a TV show

Bop 1
Bop 2
