Welcome to Neo Tokyo High School! The player characters in this campaign (at least the initial ones) are all students at one of the first High Schools on Earth to accept attendees and transfer students from, well... anywhere! Be it another planet or another dimension entirely, or even other times, Neo Tokyo accepts them all, because Neo Tokyo has the Earth's first intergalactic spaceport and is on a dimensional nexus, making transportation to and from other dimensions easy.

What's to do here? Well, all the usual anime high school things, punctuated by the Bad Kids, Rival Schools, Exams! (The horror!) and the Monster of the Week. As well as other inconveniences such as invasions of aliens, monsters or the dreaded PICTURE DAY!

IMPORTANT EDIT OCTOBER 2015

All handles besides the GM/OOC handle must have a profile and participate in some sort of RP before a new one will be accepted! The following order is appreciated but not strictly enforced, since we have a large enough student body to support it. Handle Limit is Lifted, but activity is key! If handle goes too much time unplayed, it will be automatically moved to Off-Camera and the player notified. If activity does not pick up in a reasonable amount of time, the handle will be deleted.

1) GM/OOC handle: Once you have more than one handle, please list the handles you play in the profile of this one.
2) Freshman Student (one Stunt, refresh 3)
3) Teacher or other Staff Member. (Five Stunts, Refresh 5)
4) Sophomore Student (two Stunts, refresh 3)
5) Junior Student (three Stunts, refresh 3)
6) Senior Student (four Stunts, Refresh 4)
7) Teacher or other Staff Member. (Five Stunts, Refresh 5)
8) Staff Member -Non Teacher On Campus adult, (Five Stunts, Refresh 5)
9) NPC City Resident/Shopkeeper (Three Stunts, Refresh 3)
10) "Big Bad" Villain NPC (Five Stunts, Refresh 5,) This NPC MUST be the center of your OWN GMed Story arc. If you have an idea for a story arc, check the boards for a signup. First Come, First Played AFTER the Stage Two conclusion.
A) Off-Camera Handles
B) Any number of NPC Non EXP earning handles, MUST be statted out and subject to editing/deletion upon GM review.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You can only swap out handles between terms. You can quit playing one sooner, but you will not be accepted for a new handle until term end.

Whats all this then? Stunts are special things your character can do that make them special.

Refresh is how many FATE Points you get back at the end of ever game session! FATE points let you:
1) add +2 to any roll already made
2) let you reroll any or all of the dice you just rolled
3) Resist a Compel. (The GM can bribe you with a FATE point to act according to your character - good or bad! - and you can 'buy this off' with a FATE point. This isn't recommended because generally when the GM sends a free FATE point your way it's to make the game more interesting!)


For example if I have a character who "Has a Practically Perfect Smile" A stunt could look like this:

"Because I have a Practically Perfect Smile, I gain a +2 when I Flashily try to create an advantage" (Trust me, reading over the Fate Accelerated Simple Rules will make it all clear to you!.

When you make a character and it's a student, you must choose a faction. These are akin to alignments in D&D and are detailed in this thread.
