If I just have to get the pictures I can do that today by borrowing a computer in a few hours but of I need it for every post it may become a problem till like Friday.

I would prefer you hold off on your interest until you have stable computer access. It's not fair to the other players.

Vanetias

I feel interested. Though for BSDM and NC, is it necessary? or it can be optional?

Haibane

Hi Vanetias, thank you for your enquiry.

They are fairly central themes to the storyline. Given that every student in the academy is blackmailed into attending and cannot leave or report the school's abuses, then NC as a basic concept is always present, though rape as an actual event is not. It often is, but we can adjust things somewhat to suit the preferences of players, for example we have one main character for whose player bondage and impact play (spanking, flogging, etc) are both offs but we have arranged things so the character can still play a central role in the story. It so happened that the kind of character they were playing actually fitted into having those practices restricted. That sounds complicated but the end story is, yes, we are flexible.

You'd need to bear in mind thought that BDSM and NC events will be going on all around you and your character at any time, so you'd need to be okay with them affecting the characters friends and fellow students or even going on in the same room.

I don't think that would work as all the action takes place on campus in the academy itself. Clients never come into the school for obvious reasons. We do have scenes outside of school from time to time but these can often be months apart in real-time and we play them in a separate thread. If we have clients in these scenes we have NPC'd them in the past. If we were going to write such a scene we would welcome a player to play the client but that would be in the nature of a one-shot and the client character would then vanish from the scene, probably never to be re-used as the game doesn't focus on what the clients do. A player really needs to have a student as their main character and they can then pick up other roles as needed elsewhere.

When we started we had several players taking the roles of teachers as well but as time went on they all quit the game. Even the teachers work best as NPCs or in the case of one I'm playing now, as a second character since they too will have some downtime. All the teachers are in effect trapped as victims as well.

If you're a person who likes to be fully dominant and not submit at all, I think this isn't the game for you. We have dominant male characters in the student body but they all have to accept they are not top dog and must obey what the more senior female staff members and the Head Girl tell them. It is an unusual RP in that respect as it requires male characters who can both dominate and submit and players for those roles are rare. Likewise fully submissive males are not of much use either because the boys in the academy are used to train the girls, therefore some sexual assertiveness is essential. We have found it hard to get male players and characters and keep them in the game because many arrive with some misconceptions despite us doing our best to inform people, and many players then quit because the game isn't what they thought it was.

NileGoddess

Haibane is correct, Vanetias. It's hard working a group game with everyone's specific kinks and fetishes. Things you may not actively enjoy may be going on in the same thread you are posting, and while you don't have to read it, you have to allow for other people's preferences. The player base we have now has been extraordinary in being accommodating and respectful.

But as stated, NC is a very strong and recurring theme. It's partially built into the framework of the game, so if you are not comfortable with that, or being on an accepting term with characters with dominant personalities, then this game would not be for you.

I may be interested, if any of you heard of Sono Hanabira series, I would be rping Mai in this, she would be broken hearted but extremely unpredictable. She is exclusively lesbian and is a complete dominant. I be playing her as a transfer student. Does this sound fair?

NileGoddess

Hello someinheritthewealth, and thank you for the interest.

I'm going to have to say no to bringing in a different character from a different series. You can use their likeness in an original character, but so far, other than characters from the Discipline series, all other characters are original builds. Part of the reason we do this is to avoid any characters inappropriate for the game, like those from series that have supernatural powers, for example. Plus, people may not be familiar with the series.

Also, by wanting to play exclusive lesbian, you would be limiting yourself to a very small portion of the game, but the other problem is that there is no room for a totally dominant student. There is a certain hierarchy to the series, one that puts the Morimoto family in control of the school, and most characters simply can't get away with doing things their own way. They may be allowed to do things, but that would depend on you being okay with stepping out of a dominant role from time to time.

Haibane

Hi someinheritthewealth, thanks for your enquiry.

Adding to what Nile Goddess has said we do have a couple of dominant characters, but their players are aware they are not the top of the food chain and while they can behave in dominant ways in some situations, all students must behave in a submissive aspect in response to those in the real positions of power in the school (senior students and most teachers). If you can fit into that heirarchy then that's great, though we did sadly lose one player who found they could not be completely in control and that proved to be a problem.

Please only submit original characters or ones based on or that use likenesses/names of canon characters from the Discipline game or anime (we allow some adjustment of personality for these).

There's a significant non-con theme in the RP; it would be unlikely that a lesbian would have her sexual preferences respected so she'd no doubt suffer at the hands of male students and teachers. If that isn't to your taste then a lesbian would not be a good fit, unless her being forced to do heterosexual acts was what you were actually seeking? In that case it'd work though the game is meant to be a 'light' hentai and not that dark, so prolonged character suffering may not fit the mood well. It all depends what you had in mind.

I am interested in taking over an abandoned character. If there is none to my style I'll submit something.

Hi Zeth, thanks for showing an interest. Have you a preference for a male or female character? Fully submissive (would not suit a male char at all), a bit switchy, more dominant or someone who might be none of those things or those things are not the centre of their involvement in the story and you'd rather work away at character development?

Zeth

I am a little surprised there are no bi or gay guy characters in this game. I never saw the source material, so I'll have to watch it. I might have to make an OC anyways.

There are none because the hentai doesn't have any and this game doesn't actually support it.  Despite this, there are threats of forced bisexualism, but none are specifically played out, at least as far as I know.

Hi again Zeth. Unfortunately bi- or gay males do not fit into this setting. Male characters must be straight; females may be straight, bi or lesbian. But a straight female character should be run by a player willing to have her experience non-con lesbian sexual activity and vice-versa for a lesbian character.

NileGoddess

Zeth, thank you for the interest. As Haibane and King said, any bi or gay male interaction really isn't factored into the scope of this game, nor was it ever mentioned in the series the game is based off of. It's about male interaction in a school mostly full of girls and female faculty. At most in the series, men participated in orgies with other men involving women.

Zeth

Yes, I understand. I am going to watch the Discipline anime first then get back to you. I realize the plot is different, but watching the source material does help understand the tone. I once tried a Firefly role play before watching Firefly and it was a disaster until I watched the first four episodes, then I was in sync with the other players and the game was a success.

Haibane

Discipline is only 6 episodes but the plot gets a bit daft in the last 2, so the first 3 or 4 are all you need.

...I also appreciate you putting in the effort to watch the background material - not all RPers are that committed, so thanks.

King Serperior

I think that the series went down around episode 3.  4-6 was.....not the best representation and was overblown in proportion.  That aside, 1-3 is fairly accurate to the basics of the game, for the most part.

Yeah, consider NileGoddess' game to be based somewhere during eps 1 to 3. The student revolution part we are ignoring!

That is the first time I been complimented for promising to watch pornography. You must be the best GM ever.

Haibane

Haha, thanks. Anyone willing to watch a series just to find out if they want to join an RP is a good sign too.

Name: Chisato Hamada
Age: 17
Position: Student
Sexual Preferences: She likes to play coy and submissive, but she has a deviant strike that likes to switch it up sometimes. She’s sometimes prone to acts of exhibition.
Appearance: Blood Type O, 5'2", 103 lbs. She has long, thick, light auburn hair and brown eyes.
Personality: She's often very spacey and licentious. As the youngest daughter in her family, she's never been given much discipline or notice for that matter. She's always rested right along the line of being a degenerate without stepping out of bounds and shaming the family.
Purpose at Arcadia: Her father is a spokesman for a manufacturing division of family goods for the Morimoto Corporation. As such, he has been able to bring the Hamada family a nice slice of wealth. A good bite of this wealth has gone towards following his pleasures, and those pleasures have led him to a number of soaplands, pink salons, and a couple dozen call girls, who are always more than happy to accept the sum of extra cash he throws their way. His ofttimes sadistic cravings have landed him in a few tight spots before, but normally with no more damage than a couple bruises easily silenced by a few more thousand yen. That was until a particularly long day led him to a few strong drinks and back to a seedy little shop in Yoshiwara he'd frequented before and that rarely cared about his tendencies. This time he left their girl with a little more to care for as she ended up hospitalized by the end of the night. The owner was threatening to bring him to court, when the Morimoto Corporation swept in to cover his tracks and their reputation. In return for quieting the lawyers and paying compensation for the girl, they blackmailed her father into giving his youngest daughter over to their school.

Hopefully she's okay. Please let me know your feedback and I'll work on her some more. I know there's not a lot there, but I wanted to just get what I had out there and see if the backstory seemed okay.

She looks pretty good to me though I don't think the blackmail angle is strong enough - it probably could be if the Morimotos have solid evidence of her father using prostitutes elsewhere as well, the fact he's been using their prostitutes isn't something they would be okay with exposing in a court room. I don't think we can have a parent who is also a client since there's too much risk of the Morimotos own dirty laundry being exposed by lawyers.

We try to have the parents of girls as employees of Morimoto Corp who've been caught defrauding them. He could be a spokesman for one of their manufacturing divisions of family goods and his public face promotes strong family values. He's then caught using prostitutes elsewhere in Tokyo and its this that could damage the Morimoto Corp reputation (share price), so they shut the lawyers up, pay compensation and blackmail him. Would that work?

Also Mio Kitahara - great choice of image for a character!
