Rp idea: clique empire
The story so far:
Cedarwalk college was founded in 1971 it was like any other school it had an average tuition and and a relatively average GPA requirement for students it was seen as a fairly normal college not to sought after but not very ignored by the public, although one thing set it apart from all other colleges the students were known for being incredibly cliquey the problem sounds common amongst schools but this college was difference allot of cliques turned to violence against each other in much more dramatic ways then just exclusion, the professors were well aware of the violence that was constant going-on but could not prove anything most cliques were very thorough when they had to resort to violence. Some of the original cliques include but are not limited to: your standard fraternity jocks, a preppy female and separate male clique, (neither technically had a name but most just referred to them as the preps) a nerd clique, (arcade) gamers, and various fraternity and sorority cliques.
Today not much has changed since the early days but there is a much more diverse student body which in this colleges case means more, and worse cliques. The violence only seems to swell day by day turf has been unfairly dispensed between each clique. There does however exist a glimmer of hope, in 1998 the cliques of the school formed the USB -The united student body- This organization functions as a way to keep some diplomatic peace between cliques, any group that is accepted into the USB is recognized as an official and independent clique In the school. The Students hold USB meetings once a month or under special circumstances.
Violence: In the early days of school the violence between cliques was minimal it was pretty common to find a student bashed and battered because of clique related violence, in more recent cases there have been murders on campuses and “unexplained disappearances” of students. These happenings were always met with the same result a professor was either paid off or they could never find out who committed the crime. These assaults would sometimes occur for simplest of reasons like a kid just accidentally coming into a rival cliques turf.
Known cliques (and a brief description):
The jocks – one of the oldest and most infamous groups they were around from the beginning of the school very traditional when it comes to there belief system they are very unaccepting of outsiders although give strong support to their allies. The jocks have the strongest military of any other clique
Sub-cliques: Football, Soccer, Hockey any common school sport is a sub-clique
Current leader:
OS (Organizational System) type: oligarchy despotism. Established 1972
The RCK (republic of cool kids) – Known by most as the preps or rich kids this clique has also been around since the beginning this clique is considered the leading power (disputably) in the college. Has little focus on military but will use force against their enemy
Sub-cliques: male, female
Current leader:
OS type: Constitutional Monarchy. Established 1972
The UIN (United Indie Nation) – This group is very mysterious with there behavior they are not recognized as a clique by the USB. They came about after the great Hipster revolution of 2012. They are mostly unknown to the Student body and they would like to keep it that way. They are very particualr in who may join them. This group may not actually be in the USB but have a very important role in the politics of the school through there better known allies. They have a very small military but most fighting that needs to be done they get through their alliance.
Sub-cliques: Indie movie-gowers, Indie Music listeners,
Current leader: Harvey lanyard
OS type: utopian despotism (undisputed). Established (date disputed) the original group known as the hipsters began in 1999 but a revolution took place in 2012 (started september 1st) and ended the same year (April 20th) the old organization was overthrown and their name was changed although MOST of their practices are the same.
The goths – A dark and very politically un-powerful organization that were only recently recognized by the USB the members are very ceremonial and are very accepting of outsiders especially outcasts they hold the beliefs in the acolyte very close. They have a medium sized military.
Sub-cliques:
Current leader:
OS type: theocracy. Established 1991
The skaters – Amongst the staff of the school the skaters are considered the most hated the members are often always on the move all members move together towards one common goal skating. While the group does have a seat in the USB the members or their leader rarely show up to the meetings
Sub-cliques:
Current leader:
OS type: Hive-mind (utopian). Established 1985
The GHGA (Great Honored Genius Alliance) – They may have really hyped up their name but essentially these are just the nerds at least that's how people refer to them this group was amongst the first unions in the school although they were originally referred to as the nerds until the USB was created the group was oringally seen as very powerful (not physically of course) until the great nerd/geek civil war of 1989 that tore the clique in half. This group is open to anyone who wants to inquire knowledge, but they must also know a great deal in one subject this is the only group that demands members to have a overall GPA (in their case 3.8)
Sub-cliques:
Current leader:
OS type: Utopian communism (and you thought it wasn't possible) Established 1972
The OI (Obsessions International) – (most refer to them as geeks) This clique was formed after the great nerd/geek civil war in 1989 after they split from the nerds (now known as the GHGA) they are now peaceful towards the GHGA the two groups now accept the others differences and try to put the incident behind themselves. The geeks wanted to split from the nerds because of their mandatory GPA, while the geeks had thirst for universal intelligence, the nerds however prefer singular knowledge over one subject
Sub-cliques: Drama, Engineering, Math, Science, and the list goes on, any subject you could obsess over in school is a sub-clique of this group.
Current leader:
OS type: (let me start by saying its complicated) the geeks have developed a government they call the Great council (basically it's democracy without a presidential body they have a house of legislators that vote on laws but no president/prime minister). Established 1989
The Druggies – A highly controversial group but a group none-the-less the druggies were formed cause...uhh... harmony and peace between...uhh people of the....yeah. Anyway you get the point the group is currently barely hanging onto a thread most Cliques believe they should not be aloud in the USB although they are currently.
Sub-cliques: Stoners, Other addicts.
Current leader:
OS type: Trust me they don't even know what they do. Established 1975
The MLG (major league gamers) – The original group was known as the gamers and was one of the first cliques in the school, the members are very open to other people and can easily get along with anyone who has similar interests...gaming. They are in the USB and are only minor-ly interested in the politics of the school.
Sub-cliques:
Current leader: Daniel Bull
OS type: Semi-Presidential Democracy. Established 1972
Losers – Small nomadic (by nomadic I mean they move when another group pushes them out) tribes that roam the campus there is no organized system and most groups contain anywhere between 1 and 3 people there is simply a mutual respect between the losers. This group is not in the USB there is no sub-clique and no leader the members do not fit in with any other group.
Emos – Similar to the Losers the Emos are small nomadic groups of 1 to 3 people that have no turf and are not part of the USB they have no OS no Sub-cliques and no leader most members do not fit in with any other group and choose to segregate themselves from everyone all members self loath and are not very sociable. Their interests include long walks on the beach and inflicting pain upon themselves.
Staff – A very undermined group they are not recognized by the USB and are not Cliques but they are
an important faction basically it is anyone that works for the school (only under special circumstance can you play as a member of this faction)
Sub-clique: Professors, The dean, janitorial staff, and so on
Leader: Leigh Laurie (The dean)
OS type: gymnasiarchy
The UUHW (Unity of Underprivileged Horny Woman) – An established group of girls most refer to them as sluts a group that doesn't care much about the politics of the school has no standing military and let's their alliance do the talking for them.
Sub-cliques:
Current leader: Lin Autumn
OS type: Pornocracy (yes it's real look it up...actually don't look it up you probably won't get the intended results)
Known alliances:
The UD/SA (Underground Defense/Service Agreement) – A very stable treaty between the UIN the Goths and the Druggies. The treaty claims that that the goths and druggies protect the UIN through their military power while UIN offers “services” for the 2 other groups. This alliance is unknown to all other cliques. This alliance is also currently trying to convince the skaters to join.
The Brains pact – This treaty is between the OI and the GHGA that allows members to freely travel between each others territory.
Addictions united – A military pact between between the MLG and the druggies that exchanges military security and trade between the two cliques.
(I still need an alliance name for the UUHW and RCK as well as a name for the alliance between the RCK and the jocks so if you have an idea let me know)
How the RP will work: At first we need plenty of people to assume the role of a leader in most of the already available cliques although I am always looking to add more to the list of cliques. Most of the plot of RP will circle around the hatred some of these groups will have towards each other and their will likely be a constant struggle for territory (Please note that whatever territory a clique has at the beginning of the RP (which has yet to be decided) will remain theirs forever unless it's part of the plot but eventually they must regain their home territory, we can't just have someones clique kicked out of their Head Quarters).
Known territory:
The jocks – Headquarters is the college locker rooms (mens),
The RCK – Headquarters is in the parking lot,
The UIN – Headquarters is under the main administration building in the boiler room, The UIN has territory in ALMOST every unused basement or boiler room on campus, the UIN has more territory than any other clique but the turf is very undesirable, most boiler rooms are hot dark and depressing.
The goths – Headquarters is in the Liberal arts department building basement, members can be found congregating in almost any dark and private area on campus.
Skaters – The skaters are entirely nomadic and tend to go wherever the best skate spots are found when they get bored with one they move onto the next they can often be found in others territories but good luck trying to catch them.
The GHGA – Headquarters in the math and science department building, The school library (shared territory)
The OI – Headquarters in the auditorium, The school library (shared territory)
The druggies – headquarters the dumpsters behind the liberal arts department building, The druggies territory also includes ALMOST every bathroom on campus.
The MLG – Headquarters undecided [your input here!]
The UUHW – Headquarters undecided [your input here!]
You may have noticed allot of information has been left blank well...this is just an idea and I would love feedback I need people to make characters and most of the first people that join need to become leaders of cliques although you do not have to be it does require some responsibility.
Here is what I need: We always need new cliques although before trying to submit one make sure it would not make more sense as a sub-clique of an already existing group. I also need Sub-cliques for any group. Some cliques could use a more beefed up description as well. I need an idea of what the campus will look like so there is no dispute between what is where. And eventually I am going to need a time line of events. Each clique could probably use more territory except the UIN.
Any input you want to give to make the RP better would be much appreciated this the first RP I have ever started and it will need a lot of work and support from the masses.
Minimal work is needed for the UIN since I am starting my character (Harvey Lanyard) as the leader as the UIN but any other clique is open to whatever change if you become the leader but make sure your actions reflect what that clique would support.
Also I'm gonna say this is a 6 year college if it was 4 year than everyone would want to start as a freshmen and this way you just get more time for your character histroy. If you think this is a dumb idea please tell me.
The school year will begin august 1st and end may 31st if you disagree let me know.
So here is what your character sheet should look like you can always add more but try to fill most of the below requirements...if you have an idea of something that should be added to the character sheet speak up. I'm steeling allot from SteelPlate's zombie RP character sheet so be sure to thank him. As always if you have suggestions as to things I should get rid of or add to the character sheet let me know.
Name – how else do we know what to call you?
Age – if the character is under 19 explain why in character history
Gender – male? female?.....other?
Physical appearance – describe your ugly mug this includes height body build weight hair and eye color you don't have to be specific if their tall just say tall if their fat say fat
Attire – no you can't run around naked...well you can but not all the time
Major – this gives us an idea of what your character is studying
Minor (optional) – not as important but a good fall back plan
Clubs (optional) – Does your character participate in any extracurricular activities? (be sure that it makes sense though cliques and clubs will often have a direct relationship ex: a jock will probably not be in chess club)
Clique – What faction are they part of? If their a new student or freshman they may not be part of one yet, if so explain it in their history. Explain their position in the clique. When did your character join and if they have an important position when did they assume that position keep in mind the person may not rank up within even a year especially to leader so if it is a short time span explain it.
Inventory – What does your character keep on them?
Relationship – single? Dating someone? If so tell who (The significant other doesn't need a character sheet yes you can be in a relationship with other players...obviously) give a brief description of the significant other.
Personality – How does your character act what makes him/her tic.
History – A detailed explanation of their past.
