Ashton is ranked as one of the top all boys' boarding schools in the United States. It takes pride in its ability to cultivate young boys into men who will go on to achieve great things, perhaps in part because the school aims to accept only the best--in anything, whether it be athletics, academics, or the arts. With a small student body of only a couple hundred, the competition to get in is fierce. In fact, some might say that the school in general possesses a competitive spirit, but what could one expect from a place full of boys?

Yes, it's a good school, and, looking at the brochures and website, most might even say it's perfect. But it's high school. Friends betray friends, bullies rule, guys duke it out to carve themselves a niche in the power structure, and don't forget about those insanely rich kids who scoff at the scholarship mutts. And some of these students? They're...a little "different." They're gay. Or bi. Or whatever else fits under the rainbow. Girls can't serve as a distraction here, but for these guys, well, that doesn't matter so much. They have to survive the typical high school BS while coming to terms with who they are. And for a certain group in particular, it's their senior year. They better make the most of it while they can.




Hi, and welcome! As the plot overview above might suggest, this is a freeform RP taking place in an all-boys' boarding school. I've run this roleplay on another site with pretty good results, and I wanted to see if the roleplay could receive similar success here on E. Here's the setup at a glance:

Sexuality: This is a M// RP. The sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation of the player doesn't matter. The RP will be placed in light.
Smut Level: The focus will be on plot and character development. Smut can happen, but it shouldn't completely compromise the story, and to be sure, don't expect an orgy to break out in the middle of a World War II lesson, yeah? XD
Post Length: At least two paragraphs.
Post Frequency: When it's your turn to post, try to get a response out in a week. It's perfectly understandable if real life gets in the way, but keep us updated, and try to remove your character from any interactions if you will be gone for a while (in this case, one paragraph is fine). Being gone for more than three weeks, without word, may result in removal.
Writing Style: Third person.
Characters: Humans, aged 18 or 19, so seniors only. Up to 3 PCs per player. Staff likely won't be playable. Those roles never seem to go well, and we will play classes primarily when people need them for plot advancement. However, if enough people show interest in allowing staff, I can consider it more.

Setting

Ashton Boarding School is located in Pennsylvania. The closest town is ten minutes away and is one that some of the guys will go to for fun or work when class isn't in session. It's also roughly half an hour from Philadelphia. The school doesn't tolerate bullying of any kind, but that doesn't mean it won't happen when a teacher isn't looking. There's a GSA. The school requires all students to be in their dorms by 10:30pm.

Ashton has six buildings:

  • The main building where most of the classes are held, including the library and gym. The library is open until 8pm on the weekdays. Attached to the gym is a pool room and a fitness center that are reserved for classes and sports teams.
  • The auditorium, for concerts, plays, and assemblies, but once a quarter, they also showcase student artwork in the lobby. The music rooms are also located here.
  • The Student Union, which houses student living needs. There's the cafeteria, open during the three meals of the day, and the infirmary, which is open from 8am to 8pm every weekday. There's a fitness center for personal use, which is open from the start of dinner to 10pm. There's also an entertainment center with billiards, foosball tables, darts, and a few arcade games. It's open from the start of dinner to 10pm.
  • The three dorm buildings. The lobby of each one has mailboxes and a lounge area.




Dorms

Student dorms come with a cable outlet, two single beds, two dressers, two closets, and two desks. There are three dorm buildings: Wescott Hall, Ballard Hall, and Mitchell Hall. Each building has two wings with 3 floors, each floor having ten rooms and a communal bathroom with showers divided by stalls.

A small rivalry exists between the three buildings, in part because of competitions that are occasionally held, like which hall can get the most canned goods for a food drive, or which hall can be the most decorative for the holidays (though this one isn't that popular). There's even a Saturday in the spring called the Ashton Olympics, where participants try to win against the other halls in various events--very cheesy, but a lot of the guys have fun with it. The rivalry between the halls doesn't affect cliques, but there's an unspoken rule that students should stay in the hall they lived in when they first came here, or else be deemed a traitor.

The Rooms
Any rooms listed below that don't already have two characters are open, and to be sure, the only open rooms are in the A wings, since the table might not exactly be clear. More rooms will be added once these ones are filled.

You can pick a room or I can randomize one for you.

Senior Class Schedule

  • English or AP English
  • US Government or Economics
  • Elective
  • Algebra II, Precalculus, Calculus, AP Calculus, AP Statistics
  • Anatomy, Physics, or some AP science
  • Elective
  • Elective

Electives can be anything that would be believable for a boys boarding school.

Once we have a few characters, I'll put a master schedule up showing who is in what class. We might not play classes that often, but it's still a good idea to pick classes that already have other people in them.




Upcoming Events


  • Friday, Oct. 31 - Some students have planned a Halloween party. It starts at 8 in the entertainment center.
  • Friday, Nov. 7 - The GSA is having an auction to raise funds for [something]. What's being auctioned off? Fellow students--volunteers. For two hours, buyers can have the auctionees do their bidding--clean their room, make them a sandwich, or tempt them into a little...fun. The auction will be held right after school in the auditorium.

    Known volunteers:
  • Friday, Nov. 21 - Twice a year, Ashton gets together with its sister, Bellhart School for Girls, for a formal dance. Every fall is Ashton's turn to host, and it'll be held in the gymnasium. It goes from 8 to 9:30.




Other Details

We'll be starting with the Halloween party.

As far as the general acceptance of non-straight individuals, it's open for discussion, but I won't allow anything worse than general discomfort and the one or two bullies. In other words, it won't be a living hell.

Right now, the three residence halls are all the same, but that doesn't mean they have to be that way, if the majority would rather make them unique in some manner. If you have suggestions on how to do so, let us know! The only rule is that each room can house only two students.

Players do not have to have their characters attend the 'Upcoming Events.' As the roleplay progresses, I will try to add things to the list to help keep things interesting. If you have any ideas, please feel free to share!


And that's all I have to say! Any questions and suggestions are welcome![/list]

I went ahead and created schedules for Sean and Logan. That way, if anyone joins and wants to start thinking about their character's schedule, they can at least have an example to go off of. I added them to the post that has their profiles, and once others join, I'll probably add their profiles there, too. That way they're in one place for ease of reference (and for ease of copy-pasta). Not that a profile can't be changed before the RP actually starts. I would just need to know if any changes are made, and I probably won't add profiles to that post right away anyway.

Anywho, Sean's and Logan's schedules aren't set in stone. I might change or move around their classes once other schedules pop up.

I edited the first post a little to mention that rooms can either be chosen or be left to the Random Generator Goddess, but I warn you about the latter option. She can be merciless. ;)

(Maybe not an important detail, but I knew I was forgetting something...)

Rocklobster: Hello! Glad to hear you're interested!
If you join, what kind of character might you make? Did you have an idea?

xSnorkleRainbow: So, have you had the proper read yet? Is there anything I can do or say to change that tentative interest to something more certain? :-)

Yeah. I told him if he didn't try, he'd get the hose again.  ::)

Lyron

Now, now, bullying is wrong. Or at least that's what I'm supposed to say, but I might just support it in this situation. XD

A drug connection, huh? That sounds cool.

I've been rolling the idea around to play as a "Higher Class" type of character, thinking a student that is already been given early acceptance to a very prestigious college and is in track to go to law school. But being from such wealth has had its draw backs, possibly some prescription abuse or even harder stuff?

Just debating what kind of character development I can do successfully lol. I've been out the game for a while and slowing working my way back into it.

Royce Herrera

Leslie Royce Herrera

Nickname(s): Goes by Royce, Roy or Herrera Call him by his first name and you might get a dead horse's head in your bed.
Age: 18
Birthday: November 28th
Height: 5'10''
Sexual Orientation: Strickly Dickly
Number of Years at Ashton: Four
Room Number: Hall and room number - You can pick one or I can randomize it for you

Appearance Details: His eyes are green.

Personality: Royce is as laid back as they come. With nothing truly to hide, he's relatively an open a book, maybe a bit too open at times since the filter from his brain to his mouth isn't always in order. He considers himself a funny guy and routinely weaves humor and sarcasm into nearly everything he says. He’s very perceptive of others and finds himself lightheartedly poking fun at the idiocies of his peers, his elders, and sometimes even himself.

He's definitely the wrong person to ask for an honest opinion on anyone or anything if one is unable to handle the truth and constructive criticism. He prefers to call himself as a realist, though he’s a realist on the brighter side of the spectrum. He’s not a brooding, cynical asshole always out to put others down but he just tells things how he sees them. Royce will go out of his way to help people if he’s able to. Even the general public when he decides to post a video that features him giving advice on a particular subject. If homeless people ask for money, he'll give them some. He's a guy you can call for a jump if your car battery dies out by the side of the road. Or call him at 3am if you need someone to talk to. He might be a little grumpy, but he's there to listen. He also has a strong dislike for bullies stemmed from having been picked on as a kid.

He is well aware that he has a rather embarrassing nickname and to this day loathes the fact that his parents put it on his birth certificate.

Bio: Royce originally hails from Miami, Florida. He is the only child of his father, Hector Herrera; a pastry chef, Lorelei Herrera; a Dentist. Royce wasn't always the extroverted, chill kind of person he is this day. In his early youth, was a little bit porky and was picked on a lot for it because small children can just be cruel and evil little bastards. Instead of crying home to his parents, he developed an apathetic front in an attempt to show that whatever was said wouldn't really hurt him. Though the truth was that they did.

The bullying began to cease once he finally snapped at his tormentors. He learned how to twist their cruel words back on his them, deconstructing and calling them out for the bastards they really were.  This surprisingly garnered him a lot of respect from his classmates.  Becoming more assertive wasn’t the only change that needed to be made. He also began to become a bit more physically active in shedding off said weight. By the time high school rolled around, he was slimmer, recognized for his looks and gathered more attention from the ladies...even though he had no interest in them as this was around the time he discovered he was interested in the same sex. Wouldn't luck have it that his parents decided to send him to an all boys school. It was like sending a kid to go live in a toy store.

Around freshman year, Royce began producing his own Video Blogs on Youtube, usually just filming his every day actions or vlogging about hot topics in pop culture. He's always got some kind of camera on him, be in an actual video camera or just his phone so not a moment of hilarity in his day to day life can be missed. While in his Senior Year, he's caught a heavy cause of Senioritis and is just making the most of his last year at school while looking to either return home to Miami or to move to the West Coast to study film. His school related extracurricular activities vary. He's a band kid, having played the French Horn since 7th grade and is currently First Chair in the school's Wind Orchestra. He's also a Defender on the soccer team and one of the Photographers and Members of the Year Book staff.

-Vlogging

-Weed
-Holiday Concerts
-Funyuns and Cheetos
-Parties
-Running
-Fashion; He's by no means a queen but he does like to look good.

-Filming his sex sessions
-Talking shit about another person in Spanish and being amused if they don't know they're being talked about.
-Cuddling. Sometimes. Depends on the dude. Or else, he fucks and leaves.

Dislikes:
-Being up before 10 am, so basically every first class he has.
-Teachers who think it's okay to punish students by giving extra assignments
-People who still say 'YOLO'
-Confrontation, doesn't mean he won't pop anyone in the eye though.
-Pretentious assholes.
-Spiders
-Almost all the shows on MTV

Ons: Blow Jobs, Frotting, Fingering, Rimming, Making-Out, Hand Jobs

Alright, it looks like we have enough players that I can make all the threads we'll need. I'll probably start doing that...Wednesday, maybe. I want to give everyone a chance to make their character, and give others a chance to join, so it'll depend on where everyone's at by then. No rush! :-) And if anyone knows of anyone else who might be interested, feel free to send them an invite?

Rocklobster: That sounds like a pretty solid idea, and it looks like there might be the setup for a drug problem if you go that route.

I know how that feels. It can be a little rough to get back into the swing of things initially. I bet you'll be fine with it though. Up to you. :-)

Saphir: I like him already. :D
Leslie, huh? I'm sure Sean's tried to have fun with that once or twice.

Too bad the characters have to be 18 or 19. :-(

Good luck for the group!

Saphir: Sure! I'll take care of that once I am home.
Sean likes a little thrill, yes. ;-)

Nicholas: Aw rats, and I thought we had snagged a higher-up. XD
I had considered adapting this into a college to make this more E-appropriate, but I was admittedly too lazy to take the time to figure out a good way to do that. I would consider it more in-depth if it wouldn't mess up anything people already have planned for their characters, otherwise it might not be too hard of an edit, maybe.

Thanks for the good luck!

I wouldn't mind making edits to Royce if this turned into a college game. Bumping him up to a College freshman or sophomore wouldn't mess with my plans at all.

You are welcome, and no worries!

Lyron

Yeah, I could easily edit my characters' stuff, too, and I could see a benefit of making Logan a junior. I don't mind making the edits if everyone would prefer that over a boarding school. The only things I really see changing are the structure of the classes, the layout of the campus (separate building for the library, probably more than one academic building), and one more field in the character sheet for major. And, well, maybe the addition of fraternities--no houses, probably, but yeah, fraternities could be a thing. Otherwise, the premise would basically be the same: small student body, pretty hard to get into without the smarts, skills, and/or connections. Changing it to college might also might help us get a few more people. And if we did change it, you all are more than welcome to give any kind of input to help flesh it out.

But like I said, I don't want to mess up anyone's plans or anything, since it is changing the setting quite a bit. Just let me know what you all would prefer. :-)

Almost done with this character, have a couple parts to touch up tho. Let me know what you guys thing, the tattoos will be explained in the Bio too.

Sterling Stormare

Sterling James Stormare

Nickname(s):SJ or James
Age:19
Birthday:July 23, 1995
Height:5'10
Sexual Orientation:Bi-Sexual, but will prefer men before women 
Number of Years at Ashton:1st year
Room Number: Do as you please, no preference here.

Appearance Details:
Extra Pictures of Tattoos/Body

Personality: Sterling, an entitled prick who loves nothing but a good time. When money has no true meaning and the only thing you value is the story at the end of the night, you have meet Mr. Stormare. Being the only child of a wealthy family has been the driving cause of Sterling's erratic behavior, but it's worth it for him to be the life of the party. Sterling has trust issues to say the lease, but then again seeing your father get a new wife every 3-4 years will make you undervalue the meaning of a partner. He has created an alter ego within himself to portray someone who has everything figured out but slowly Sterling is feeling his sanity slip away.

Fast cars, expensive clothing, the latest electronic toy, and the occasional line of cocaine fuel this young blond body. Sterling is a joker, loves to have a good time and have attention on him at all times but come morning don't expect him to stay in your bed for long.

Bio: WIP

Likes:
-Cocaine
-Cars
-Hot boys & girls
-Vodka
-Yoga
-Sunrises (Sterling believes as long as he can see the sunrise after partying all night, then he is promised that he will be ok for another day)
-Cigarettes and coffee
Dislikes:
-Shy people
-Relationships
-Controlling people
-Homework
-Out of shape guys
-People who don't find him attractive

Ons:Just about everything under the sun. PM me before our characters interact, tho here a few of my favorites;
-Rimming, Giving and Receiving
-Kissing
-Blow jobs, Giving and Receiving
-Light anal play, Fingers and Small toys
-Grinding on each other, hair pulling
-BITING, not hard enough for blood
Offs:

-Scarring
-Scat
-Bondage, but can be open to it if we can set it up in PM's

Just a quick lil' drop in to say that I am interested, I'll give everything a good read over tonight or once I finish my homework projects.
