• Summary
  
  Many years ago, a tragic event struck the planet, wiping out the human race. It is not known for sure what killed them off, but its catastrophic effects did not seem to affect the Pokemon of the world. It also left many of the structures intact and much data was left over. Pokemon, creatures already capable of extremely fast evolution, evolved slowly to use the technology left over by their precursors, who'd already exposed them to so many ideas and concepts, and many became bipedal and gained more nimble fingers to replace their foreleg paws. Slowly but surely, their society evolved to match the human societies from so long ago, with schools, governments, and more active religions in regards to the Legendary Pokemon. To this day, battling still holds as a worldwide sport, though no longer done by trainers, but by individuals, who pit themselves against other opponents. Contests are simply replaced by performers and entertainers. Still more research the world around them, using their abilities as Pokemon to find secrets that no human could've ever learned or teaching the next generation. One such Pokemon, known as Adagnitio the Noctowl, decided that he had taken his Archaeological career as far as it could go and decided to use the wealth he had accumulated through hard work and dedication to found the Miraculum Academy, an institution dedicated to higher education and educating the bright young minds of today to make a difference in the future, whether that be in the performing arts, a career in science, or any other job one wanted to pursue. You have been allowed to enter this prestigious school, not for your wealth, but your dedication to better yourself for Adagnitio did not believe that wealth should be a factor in one's education. Welcome...to Miraculum Academy, student! I hope your stay is a long and happy one!

• School Rules
  1.) Do not battle on school grounds save for the Training Grounds. Failure to do so will result in punishment to your Head Counselor's discretion.
  
  2.)While freedom of clothing is generally allowed, due not abuse this room. It is at your Head Counselor's discretion what is appropriate to wear and if they demand you change, you will do so or be punished. This is obviously not the case on Weekends, when classes will not be undertaken and Abra Teleporting service will be provided.
  
  3.) Any reports of bullying will be investigated. It will fall into the Head Counselor's discretion as to whether it is bullying or a disagreement and any blatantly false reports will result in punishment. Any true reports will result in a punishment depending on the nature of the transgression.
  
  4.) If for some absurd reason you decide to bring a weapon to school despite already having the ability to breathe fire, shoot electricity, or whatever moves you're capable of using, you WILL be expelled. If you have some actually good reason to have it with you for a period of time (NEVER PERMANENTLY), you may take it up with the Headmaster and it will be discussed at length in an Administration Meeting.
  
  5.) Skipping classes will result in an immediate punishment, including, but not limited to detention, cleaning dishes after every daily meal, cleaning the hallways for a certain period of time, or cleaning the restrooms at the end of the day. If you think this is some slap on the wrist, note that we rarely only assign just one of the punishments.
  
  6.) Skipping out on the punishments will increase the severity of the punishment. Yes, this does mean that, by dodging punishment enough, you can and will eventually be expelled from the grounds.
  
  7.) The Headmaster is always right.
  
  8.) If the Headmaster is wrong, refer to rule #7
  
  
  Signed,
  Headmaster Adagnitio​
  
  
  
  
• Roleplay Rules
  1.) Don't kill other people's characters unless there are unique circumstances and permission is explicitly given. This rule applies to EVERYONE without exception.
  
  2.) Don't god-mod or power-game. This means do not dictate everyone's actions without their permission(god-modding) and don't magically dodge everything and succeed at everything without fail (Power-Gaming)
  
  3.) All characters will be run through by myself. Please do not start RPing until I have approved of the character.
  
  4.) Please use common sense.
  
  5.) As we are still on RPN, please obey all site rules.
  
  6.) Please refrain from using long OOC sentences in IC posts. Doing this: (This is an example) is fine. If you have to say something OOC in an IC post, keep it short and sweet.
  
  7.) Be polite to other RPers. If there is a real issue, please bring it up with me.
  
  8.) I will announce how when a class period begins and ends while doing my best to give everyone plenty of time to post within break periods or during the electives.
  
  9.) If you want to express interest, please type or even copy/paste "Scientia" in your post to show that you actually read the rules.
  
  
  
• SettingThe Miraculum Academy was founded on the famous Mirage Island as events a thousand years ago changed the island from one that only appeared once a week to one that constantly changed save two locations. One is home to Aridia Town the side of the island and one that was home to the Miraculum Academy in the center of the Island, which is accessible via Abra's Teleportation service from each region's central city. The Island is also home to Mirage Pokemon, which resemble the Pokemon of old before the humans' extinction caused Pokemon to rise up and take their place. While they're not real in a literal sense, they can and will battle you so it's best to wander into the wilds with a route back or with a friend. The Academy notes when locations of particular intrigue show up, with some appearing at certain times of the week or month while others are less predictable.
  
• ClassesBesides the standard classes that are usually mandatory, Miraculum Academy provides a number of electives as well for you to sign up for. A list of them are provided below:
  
  Battle Team: A class that is meant to assist those interested in battling by helping them refine their form. Hosts regularly miniature tournaments between members. Meets on Wednesdays from 3:00PM-6:00 PM and on Saturdays from 12:00 PM-3:00 PM. Please wear appropriate clothing for the activities. A waiver will be provided ahead of time. You WILL get hurt in this class as it IS a battling class.
  Members: Zachary Penumbra, Sil Attreak, Mars Bolton, Citrine Jones
  
  Outdoors Club: Travel the ever-changing Mirage Island and learn to survive in a variety of different locations. Environment appropriate equipment will be provided during each outing. The schedule is subject to rapid change and so members will be notified via newsletter when a new outing has been planned rather than have a set schedule.
  Members: Zachary Penumbra, Lotus Crocus, Mars Bolton, Citrine Jones, Klay Chet, Miranda Duvet Pounce
  
  Choir: An elective meant for those finely tuned but not instrument proficient. It's the magical place where all the different voices come together into a lovely performance that will wow the entire school and even the neighborhood during our facility events. And all you have to do to achieve that is sing with passion.
  Sessions will be held on Tuesday and Thursday from 2:00PM-5:00 PM.
  Members: Kliffton Dines, Adagio Libretta, Klay Chet, Miranda Duvet Pounce
  
  Band: Those instrument proficient can try out this elective. Come together in an exciting band practice, as you all play your beloved instruments in harmony and come up with an awesome and energetic performance that will put even the choir group in awe! Who knows? Maybe if you all desire, you could go pro in the future...
  Classes will be held on Wednesday from 12:00 PM to a 3:00 PM.
  Members: Kliffton Dines, Sil Attreak, VAN
  
  Theater: Be it to put your manipulative talents to good use, or to escape to an interactive alternative world, this elective is surely a very interesting experience for all to enjoy! Maybe your talent it's not acting, but costume making, or even makeup! Worry not, for there is certainly space for you to develop and have fun doing what you love most.
  Learn a lot about team work when you're planning a play together, and even more about organization when you separate the tasks amongst yourselves. Then dwell in the reward that is to have a full auditorium applaud all your combined efforts after an unforgettable show!
  Sessions will be held after school from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM unless stated otherwise.
  Members: Kliffton Dines, Adagio Libretta, Lotus Crocus, Klay Chet

  Members: Zachary Penumbra, Sil Attreak, Lotus Crocus, Mars Bolton
  
  (Note: Please refrain from having too many participants in one elective as to keep things diverse.)

  Personality and/or Writing example: (Note from my brother on writing example: Now this one might seem kind of weird but hear me out. I think it's better to write an example of your character doing something rather than describe their personality because a) we tend to change it anyways through development or not b) it shows us how they actually think and stuff c) I can see how you write and if you can portray your characters traits in actual writing versus telling me how they're like. Don't give too much description to the setting, we mostly want to see how your characters acts/thinks/etc.)

• CreditsI believe in credit where credit is due and this Roleplay would not have been possible without the help of the people below and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your great advice, tips, and contributions.
  
  @geeking out Who gave me great tips on how to start out and operate this kind of Roleplay.
  
  welian Who gave me a heck of a lot more confidence in posting this than I initially had(which was slim) and summoned the aid of another, that person being...
  
  Necessity4Fun who created the class descriptions for Choir, Band, and Theatre, saving them from what would've been rather dull descriptions made by me.
  
  Runesage Who initially, though possibly unintentionally, gave me the confidence to even start on this idea in the first place and has been a great help with pitching ideas.
  
  I cannot thank you enough for all the help I've received from you all. Thank you SO much for all of it.
  

Please make sure to read all of the Roleplay Rules. Reading the School Rules are optional, but recommended.

Webs Elk All of those are great questions and I will answer them.

1.) Yes just refrain from Legendary Pokemon.

[Riolux]

Webs Elk Well it's not that they can't still have that. It can just stem from the other normal classes(Though I don't really plan on roleplaying them unless someone has something they want specifically done during that time period)

 

[Riolux]

ACTUALLY! Kira's question just reminded me, but here's my CS.

The Essentials:

Name: Zachary Penumbra

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Species: Umbreon

House: Caligo

Electives: Outdoors Club, Battle Team, Archaeology

Alignment: Neutral Good

Fatal Flaw: Zach has absolutely no regard for staying out of a friend's business when it comes to them being in some sort of trouble and will take it upon himself to help them. In fact, this can extend to nearly anyone, willing to help a complete stranger. This stems from him being from Agate Village, which is more of a retirement village than anything else, meaning that he's used to helping others without being asked and used to stubborn people only saying no out of pride rather than any actual ability to perform the task themselves. Needless to say, this makes him socially awkward around people his age, who'd have less or no difficulty performing those same tasks, which can come off as annoying when he butts in.


Saving Grace: That said, Zach has an immense desire to do good in the world and to live life to the fullest and when his help is accepted or desired, he will do everything his power to help, usually shoving his own problems or tasks to the sideline until he's helped the person. He's got a genuinely good heart and an adventurous spirit.


Appearance: Zach is a blue-eyed Umbreon standing at about 3' 6". He's lean, but athletic, spending a lot of time outdoors and exploring, which usually involves a lot climbing for himself, increasing his stamina and agility. He's often seen wearing a plaid shirt beneath a beige climbing vest and matching cap with blue jeans adorning his legs and black tennis shoes. If he's about to go exploring, he might be wearing knee pads and mountain boots, especially if he feels he's going to be doing a lot of climbing. He commonly wears fingerless gloves and a hiking backpack if he's about to head out as well, but otherwise wears an over the shoulder bag, which contains his laptop, some books, and a handheld music player. He's always wearing a digital watch on his wrist. He's almost never seen without an orange scarf on, which was made for him by his mother.

Personality: [+] Social [+]Attentive [+] Caring [/] Talkative [/] Adventurous [/] Strong-willed [-] Overly prying [-] Short-tempered [-] May get involved in situations that don't involve him [-] Will sometimes enter locations he shouldn't

For the most part, Zachary Penumbra is a social, friendly individual that would spend most of his day either talking to people or exploring his surroundings if his education didn't, to his parents, take priority, having a strong desire to know more about the world around him, taking careful notes of the places he visits and people he meets in his journal. He's a kind-hearted person, more than willing to hear out someone's problem and help them fix it, promising that person his assistance until the issue is resolved. In general, Zach can keep a conversation up for hours when given the chance, simply enjoying conversation. He also enjoys using his time off of school to try and explore new locations, never letting others deter him from doing so. As nice as he can be, Zach's got a bit of a temper and does not take bullying, taunting, or mockery very well, even if he's not the target of it. Zach can also seem a little too blunt sometimes and can ask odd questions or ones that seem spontaneous, which can make him seem nosy. This can also occur when he tries to help despite being explicitly told to back off. While he doesn't normally do this, he will if he feels that the person truly needs it and it may take a bit of a tongue lashing to make him stop, after which he'll usually apologize. The most common time this happens is when he believes or is told that the person in question is being bullied, as he can't stand to see someone be antagonized and not have something done about it. He also has a slightly bad habit of occasionally ignoring 'Warning' and 'Do Not Enter' signs as his curiosity will get the better of him sooner or later, leading him into serious trouble. Overall, though, he is a loyal and accepting friend who'd do anything to help someone.



History: Zach grew up in Agate Village, a retirement village in the Orre region and a peaceful, quiet location, where his family moved to after his father, a Leafeon, retired from his battling career after a long, successful, but tiring life of professional battling, buying a building to set up a shop while Zach's mother, a Sylveon, stayed at home to take care of Zach. Zach was home schooled by his mother as Agate Village had no schools due to the large lack of children, largely in relation to the fact that it was mostly a retirement village. Zach only had one or two friends that he hung out with and, to his disappointment, they were unable to keep up with his youthful energy, as he'd always go and explore the nearby forest, having quickly grown bored of hide n' seek, as he'd already explored the town, rendering most hiding spots moot, and tag, as he'd usually outrun his friends. While his friends followed him out from time to time, they rarely were able to keep up with him, as Zach would speed through the areas he'd already explored, eager to get to the next adventure. In fact, Zach's energetic personality got him into trouble several times, as he'd had problems holding still. His father, however, had just the solution to tire the young Eevee out.



Starting at age 12, Zach's father would hold mock-battles with him after work to serve as Battle Class, which would expand on Zach's battle knowledge as well as expend any extra energy he had. To his father's happiness, Zach took to battling extremely well, enjoying the rush as well as paying close attention to his father's movements. This occasionally led him trying to mimic them and, through practice, successfully pulling off moves he'd otherwise have trouble with, though they were few. Due to his father being Grass-type, he simply couldn't learn the better ones, though he was gifted the TM Work Up. He would continue to improve as a battler as he got older, always taking time out of his day to train.



After Zach started learning at a middle school level, he started taking exploring in a deeper meaning, his mind slowly expanding to notice the fine details In his environment, leading to him revisiting places from his early childhood and becoming amazed all over again as he started to see things that, when younger, he'd ignored. He also started to become more drawn to the people around him and could be seen striking up conversation with the customers at his father's shop. He actually learned a great deal, as Agate Village was, as previously mentioned, a retirement village more than anything, and the elders had no issue with sharing a bit of history with the youngster. Zach would record all these experiences, between exploring, battling, and talking to people, in his journals, which filled up quickly as he'd take notes of almost anything he depicted as significant.



At age 15, Zach, while having a rather intense sparring session early in the night, evolved into an Umbreon, much to his parents' pride and his great excitement. This change marked Zach's first step towards becoming an adult, causing him to be far more capable in battle and enhancing his stamina, allowing him to keep up for longer. Noting his son's new capabilities, he gifted him with the TM Dark Pulse and began to look into greater teaching opportunities for him, feeling that Zach deserved a better future than what home schooling would allow. While it would be difficult, he was sure Zach would meet the requirements to attend one school in particular, though it would take a great deal of preparation. Up until his 17th birthday, Zach studied harder than ever, cramming as much knowledge as he could before his parents sprung him with the news that he would be attending a prestigious school for special Pokemon like himself.


The Extra:


Likes:

-Adventuring

-Battling

-Talking to others



Dislikes:

Bullies

Doing nothing

Being alone


Talents: He's a talented battler, though he lacks refinement, and a great climber.


Hobbies: Updating his journal, listening to music, and reading.

Fighting style: Zach is a huge fan of battling, having learned a lot about it from his father and unlike normal Umbreon, he actually has a strong preference towards quick, hard hits, liking to stay maneuverable and on the move, dodging hits while attacking. Due to his preference towards this fighting style, he's got high attack and speed, but his natural Special Defense isn't as strong as a normal Umbreon's and his Defense is rather lacking.

Fears: Zachary actually has a fear of the dark, though his evolution into Umbreon has aided him greatly. Mostly because he glows. He's also afraid of needles.

Crushes: None as of right now.

Orientation: Heterosexual

Theme Song: To The Ends of The Earth – NateWantsToBattle

Other:

-Has since upgraded his journal to a laptop for convenience and keeps them on a drive.

-Has little experience with kids his own age, making him a bit of a social idiot

-While he hasn't listened to much, he's as huge fan of music and can usually be seen humming to himself

-He is an avid note-taker, which helps him a great deal in his classes.

-While a strong battler in a straight fight and has a good deal of tricks up his sleeve, he's susceptible to taunts and tricks he hasn't seen before.

-His last name is actually his mother's last name, as his father took it to prove that he'd gotten over his pride (which had been a deep issue for their relationship prior to their marriage and Zach's birth).

If our character is doing any electives, do we put that in our CS. And if so, what section do we put it under.
