If so that would technically mean either it's marine biology which would mean Venus teacher character is the first under fire or its normal biology. Thoughts please?!<br/><br/>On another note I would now like to take the opportunity to discuss clubs :) I think the first thing I would like is what clubs you want your character to be in and from there I'll see how many characters are in said club. <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>In regards to this, I think there's a couple questions we have to ask ourselves.  First, do we want to play through the classes themselves or time-skip through them?  If we decide to play through classes, given the number of characters and the fact that we'd be splitting the group up to take different classes at different times, we'd be obligating the teacher characters to do posts instructing the students and the students to respond, creating pretty massive scenes for each part of the group.  I think that the focus of RP aught to be after-class activities (like clubs, character-to-character interaction and whatever larger plot Levi might have), so I think we should time-skip through classes with the option to include minor notable events in class in the first after-classes posts (teachers descriptions taking priority).<br/><br/>The exception to this would be specific scenes that take place during class, but I think these would be pre-planned and maybe even subject to private threads.  Me and LamentingQuill were planning some magic-class dream-magic shenanigans, but this could also be part of a magic/sorcery club.  As for clubs specifically, I think maybe we should pitch ideas for clubs and then enact them if more than other characters would go into that club.  The smaller ones would still be there, but I think it's important that we telegraph what clubs we want to have and which characters would be a part of them, that way we could start brainstorming ideas for larger clubs that might bring multiple characters together that had not yet been acquainted.<br/><br/>One more thing about classes, though.  I think it's a good idea to split the overall group up, but I sort of feel like it might be a good idea to say that there are a bunch of NPC students hanging around.  That way, if someone new joins the group, they could just bring their character out of that vague group instead of having to explain why they joined the school year at a weird time.  If we decide that that's something worth doing, then the next step is to just list the available classes.  Each teacher would probably be teaching multiple periods worth of classes and we could each just come up with a list of the classes our characters are taking and then decide afterwards what their schedule should be.  Basically, just playing it a little fast and loose.
