    The Templeton Tower, or the Castle of Temples, used to be a beautiful castle owned by a couple of suitors in Ireland. But why did it have that burned, dark look? They rumored the castle to be haunted with lots of ghosts, caterwauling through the nooks and crannies of the halls.

    Spoiler: The Tower 


    Around the 1870s, the castle caught on fire from a single match and too much firewood. Strange enough, the one who set the fire died while the whole thing stood intact. Even the haunting tales of apparitions did little to dissuade six entities to change it to a school.
    ...
    Now, almost 300 years later, the famous castle transitioned into an equally extravagant school. The students worked long hours and socialized in harmony. They did everything befitting of a school; turn up, party, study, dance and learn. Unfortunately, the halcyon years grew to a screeching halt. The principal of the school was a demonic entity dubbed "Flashlight".

    During the Bloodstream, Flashlight hand picked twenty out of the thousands of potential students to get in to what he called The Greenlights. This was an Honors Program in where each student went on field trips, committed to their work, and even deliberate on current events. Upon the second week, it was clear that Mr. Flash had a less than honorable reason for the Greenlight Project.

    The world was thrown into despair. Family and loved ones got killed by demons, houses were burned and the students were trapped in their own school. The real plan of the Bloodstream was to make it a slaughter frenzy. If they were to survive and leave Templeton, they were to accept the prisons, try not to breach school rules, and kill one of their own.

    Failure would result in immediate death.

    Spoiler: RULES 

    ....
    Only post what is in the CS Spoiler in the OOC. The Extra Credentials do not go anywhere on your public sheet. The more detailed you are, the more likely you will be accepted. Once I have approved of the sheet, you may write out a RP sample in a spoiler or separate PM.

    This sheet should be made with your heart and soul; dedicate lots of time to your character as they might die in the game.

    First Name: Amadeus
    Middle Name: --
    Last Name: Siguršsson
    Nickname: Deus

    SHST: Relentless Physicist
    SHST Development: Amadeus was a fanatic of the sciences since he was a child, amazed by the wonders of the universe, far or near. This wonder eventually developed into an insatiable hunger for knowledge and a need to understand the universe he lived in as much as he could. He spent many of his teenage days researching about various subjects, looking upon famous scientists as idols. His interest became more concentrated on physics as he grew, leading him to partake in various higher-level classes that helped him gain the knowledge he now has.

    Grade: 10
    IQ: 150

    Gender: male
    Sexual Orientation: straight
    Relationship Status: single
    Age: 17
    Birthday: October 10
    Blood Type: O-

    Birthplace: Iceland
    Ethnicity: Icelandic
    Race: Scandinavian
    Religion: none

    Appearance: Gangling young man with a square jaw. He has his short black hair swept back, and grey eyes, with a short beard growing around his face. Thin nose short eyebrows.
    Clothing: White coat, which he wears over a shirt and casual slacks.
    Height: 1.77m
    Weight: 60kg
    Voice: No problem with English grammar, although he still keeps a slight accent. https://youtu.be/9X1xcfcDjT0?t=33s (I could only find a female example, but you get the point.) Normally maintains a dull tone, though he lets go when voicing a subject in which he's interested. Often sarcastic.

    Personality: Amadeus views the world as a big, complex machine. And as with every machine, every part of it is interrelated. As an analyst, Deus excels in making sense of these connections, seeing how seemingly unrelated factors tie with each other. These are a byproduct of his unrelenting imagination. These connections couldn’t be made if Deus was under the impression that he knew it all - he’s highly receptive of alternative theories, so long as they’re supported by facts. In more subjective matters, he remains neutral, with a “none of my business” sort of attitude. When a new idea piques his interest, Deus can be very enthusiastic. If he finds another that shares an interest, he can be downright excited about discussing it. More likely, though, the only outward evidence of this excitement is his constant pacing and his staring into space. Deus’s analysis, creativity and open mind aren’t tools for his emotional validation. Rather, he acts as a conduit for the truths around him, so far as they can be expressed, and they are proud of this role as a theoretical mediator. Lastly, Deus is a harsh critic; to know one thing and say another would be incredibly disingenious - Deus doesn’t go around intentionally hurting feelings, but he believes truth to be an important factor, and he expects that to be appreciated and reciprocated.

    Nevertheless, Deus is very private and withdrawn. While his intellectualism yields many insights into his surroundings, he ironically considers them an intrusion to his thoughts. Even close friends struggle to get into his heart and mind. Oftentimes he gets so caught up in his logic that he forgets any kind of emotional consideration - subjectivity is dismissed as irrational and tradition as an attempt to bar progress. He is absent-minded and will often forget anything unrelated to his current interest. He can even forget his own health, skipping meals and sleep as he muses. Deus takes pride in his knowledge, and this often leads to cause him frustration of other people and pull out a condescending act. He loathes any kind of rules or guidelines, of social conduct or otherwise, which results in him simply bypassing them. He is so intent on being open to new information that he rarely commits to a decision at all. This applies to his skills as well - he knows that as he practices, he gets better, but it is always just second best of what he could do. Unable to settle for this, his output is often delayed by constant revisions, often making him quit before he even begins.

    Strengths: Intelligence, creativity, curiosity
    Weaknesses: Attention span, emotional relationships
    Skill 1: Drawing
    Skill 2: Logical reasoning
    Skill 3: Writing
    Full Biography: Amadeus Siguršsson was born in Reykjavķk, in Iceland on the 10th of October in 1997. His parents were Jóhannes Siguršsson, an engineer, and Abbigail Ödgärd, a Swedish woman. In 2002, the family moved to Munich, where his father founded Siguršsson Elektronik, a company that manufactured electrical equipment.

    In 2010, his father's company failed. In search of business, the Siguršsson family moved to Great Britain, first to England and then, a few months later, to Ireland. His father intended for him to pursue electrical engineering, but Siguršsson clashed with authorities and resented the school's regimen and teaching method. He expressed that the spirit of learning and creative thought were lost in strict teaching.

    In 2011, at the age of 14, Deus began his creative career as an amateur artist and writer, making it his ultimate goal in life to become a famous author. In April 2012, with his father's approval, he was accepted into the Templeton Highschool. Although he had always been a fanatic of the sciences, Templeton is where he began to pursue his dream of becoming a physicist, inspiring him to take the decision to enroll in honours courses for the next two years. Aside from his courses in school, Amadeus spent much of his time at home researching.

    Extra Info: Amadeus is a proud humanist; he would only dare to hurt a person to prevent even more damage from happening.

    Answer this question: What was the phrase that you saw at the bottom of the spoiler?
    (hint: Has the name of a black and white bear in DR; this is to ensure that you have read the rules.)
    Monobear? I'm not sure what this is asking for.

    I only have one question before I can answer the private message segment:

    Does the execution have to be realistic, or may it include (or is it recommended to include) impossible machines such as the ones seen in DR?

    Also, how are the murders going to be kept secret? If we just play it out, not metagaming would be pretty impossible.

    Preferably realistic. The impossible machines may be to the discretion of what the school incorporates. If you were to include death monsters or zombies induced by magic, you're gonna have to run that by me first.

    As far as murders, only the murder victim, the murderer, and the GMs will receive a PM of the murder in action. The rest will get a body announcement on the PMs. The murder will be played out by just those people. Sorry for not responding.

    I'll PM you shortly about your sheet.
