RTJ

The game will initally have FIVE player characters. They can be chosen from any of the nine available Cliques (that is, the St Trinians' Character Classes) and I do not want to duplicate any Cliques with PCs. I will look at each application as they come in, but am not handing out slots entirely on a first come, first served basis. I will select the best player characters. Therefore, when applying do try to provide the best you can manage. Poorly written, unusually short, or simply badly-thought out concepts will likely be told thanks, but no thanks.

To apply, please RTJ and send:
1 - Character Name
2 - Character age (see below!)
3 - Character concept. Give a reasonable amount of information here, please. We can go into a lot of detail later, but I want to see that some thought has gone into this. A single sentence is not enough! The personality of the character should come through, as well as something of their background, their behaviour, their goals, their flaws and their strengths too.
4 - Feel free to ask questions! I am happy to help :D
5 - If I like the concept, I'll let you have access to the full character generation details and we can get you statted up.
6 - One last thing...the game will require that all the PCs are good friends, and will belong to a specific close-knit group (which will be decided after the concepts are all selected.) Please don't make a character who is a loner, uncommunicative, unfriendly to everyone or otherwise unable or unwlling to work with other people. It won't get approved, and you will just be wasting your time. And no. Don't even ask. You CANNOT play a boy. Everyone has to be female. No boys. Not in disguise, not openly. Not ever.


Other things to bear in mind:
1 - This is not Anime. No anime/manga concept will be considered. No anime character portraits will be allowed. Yes, this is a game about Schoolgirls, but they are British Public Schoolgrls. St. Trinians predates anime schoolgirls by a very long time, as the original cartoons appeared in 1942.
2 - Characters will be between 15 and 18 years old. They fall into the following year groups at the school:
15 - 4th Form
16 - 5th Form
17 - Lower 6th Form
18 - Upper 6th Form
4th and 5th Years will technically be at GCSE exam age, 6th formers are at A-level age. Nobody younger will be allowed in the game as a PC as they will not have the age to have the skills needed. Anyone over 18 will have left the school.
3 - I am restricting overseas students drastically. St. Trinians does have foreign students, and even has a character class for them. However, in a group of five students, it is unlikely there will be more than one of these. If you wish to come from outside the UK, you need to give a great concept. It's far easier to be British!
4 - This is a Public School. To people who don't understand this, the term means a school that is private, and requires a payment of usually fairly substantial fees to be allowed to attend. It is not a state run school. This does require that you come from a background that can afford to send a child to such a school.
5 - St. Trinians is a violent, chaotic place, filled with criminals, psychotics, sociopaths and the outright demented. And that's the teachers. The pupils are more or less the same. However, this is also a General rated game, so gratuitous sex, violence, torture etc. will not be tolerated. The same goes for naughty words. One or two may slip through the net, but this game is focussing on the true spirit of the St. Trinians concept. If you can get the chance to watch the original movies from the 1950s, as well as the two more recent movies, then do so. They should give a general idea of what I am referring to.
6 - St. Trinians has a school uniform. It is dark (navy) blue and white, with the school crest. Here are several example photos:

In this game, you WILL wear the uniform. I know some schools allow casual dress, but not this one. But uniform is very flexible, as you might expect. The younger girls (1st - 4th years) tend to wear a longer dress, with a rather wild appearance. Older girls are more overtly sexual, with skirts that are VERY short, revealing stockings held up by suspenders, rather low cut white blouses and so forth. The school tie is usually worn, either as normal, a headband, a belt, or in some other unconventional manner. Girls often carry a hockey stick as their weapon of choice.
7 - The girls are wild. Many of them smoke, regardless of their age, and a lot of them drink (usually cheap home-made vodka or gin.) Drugs are available in the school, but I am going to veto PCs actually wandering around taking them. The PCs are being selected for an important mission, so drug users would not be on the team. The girls also gamble a lot. The older girls will be seeing boys and doing appropriate (or inappropriate!) things with them, but please keep that firmly OFF camera, thanks!
