WINTER OF DISCONTENT OOC
“Now is the Winter of Our Discontent....”
It is the winter of 2056, and mankind has made a great discovery. In 2011, humans discovered Magic. Not little spells like wiccans had done in the past, but true Magic; something that had been lost to mankind for many centuries. Not since the time of King Arthur had real magic been used.
Now, magic is taught in certain schools around the world, to “Gifted” young ladies and gentlemen...whose parents can afford the tuition, that is.
This brings us to our setting.
Northern Russia. A disease has broken out among the people. It is a terrible plague, turning healthy human beings into rotting, hunger driven beings, their bodies distorted and flesh falling from bone. They are not shambling, mindless creatures...no. They are far, far worse. They are The Infected. They hunt other living beings with the speed and power of large predatory animals, and their favourite prey is non-Infected human beings.
While scientists and Mages alike search for a cure to a disease that is both magical and physical, the Infection spreads.
Wealthier cities have taken to erecting psudo-magical barriers to keep out the disease, which has been discovered to be airborne, but these do not keep out the Infected themseleves, they simply deter them,
In the city where our story takes place, made wealthy by the Petrov School for the Gifted, An alarm system has been rigged up to warn the residents of an incursion by the Infected. The alarms have never been sounded aside from test drills since the Barrier was erected. Everyone knows, should the Alarm sound, you will go to your designated shelters and let the Police deal with the Infected. Most people don’t take the sounding of the Alarms very seriously however, as no Infected has ever set foot inside the Barrier.
However, all of that is about to change.
THE PREMISE: A bunch of university students from a school for the gifted wind up in a city full of Infected after the Barriers fall. None of them can be sure as to why THEY did not become infected, but it seems like damn near the rest of the city HAS. The RP will be about their fight to survive and discover what caused the barriers to fall. If they can re-erect them, they should be safe. If they can’t, or once the food runs out in their city, they will have to try to make it to the next Uninfected city in one piece through the remnants of fallen cities, small survivor encampments, and the wilds or Northern Russia.
Welcome to my RP. The Roleplay will start out in the Petrov School for the Gifted, so I would like it if most characters would start out as Students there. Petrov School is a University, so no characters under eighteen will be in attendance at the university unless there is an exceptional case. I would prefer if you discussed any character under eighteen with me FIRST before posting it. IM is the easiest way to contact me, but I will check my PMs occasionally as well. If you PM me and I don’t respond, feel free to post in the thread that you have PMed me.

Unlike some schools that teach Gifted Students, The Petrov School for the Gifted doesn’t only teach magic. Rather it is a regular university that also has courses in magic.
All areas of magic are taught at the Petrov School, from simple Mana Manipulation and basic Elemental Arts to Advanced Alchemy and Healing Magic.
Students vary in magical abilities, from Talented Mages to people who have trouble lighting a candle with their Gift. There are also a few Ungifted students at the school, getting into the prestigious academy due to connections or bribes. Feel free to play one of these characters, but realize they must be in high society.
Not all characters will specialize in magic. Some may just take a few courses, others may take a full schedule of magic classes. All characters are Human, no, you may not play an Infected.
Please Note: All students at the Petrov School for the Gifted must wear their uniforms at all times when on the campus. The uniform consists of a goldenrod vest over a white dress shirt with a slate blue blazer and tie and matching skirts or slacks depending on your gender. The skirts are fairly short and worn with light blue knee high socks. (See the pictures in My characters’ descriptions for colour examples.) The School’s crest is on the upper Right arm of the Blazer.

Name: Sonya Morozov
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Appearance:
ART BY ME. NO STEALING
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/PockyAddict/SonyaMorozovColour.jpg
Sonya would be one of those blond haired, blue eyed airhead types if it weren’t for her heterochromia. She has one blue eye and one brown eye, and some people find it very unsettling. Her light blonde hair is wavy and short and she thinks it makes her look sophisticated. She is rather large busted and she “Always [feels] like [her] boobs are getting in the way.” Her cute face and sexy figure bring her a lot of suitors, but she prefers the single life for now.
Personality: Sonya is a cheerful, bubbly sort of person, and seems rather ditzy and klutzy at times, tending to bump into things, or trip on the steps she didn’t notice because she wasn’t paying attention. Most people write her off as a total arihead spacecase because she’s always off in the clouds, but in fact she is very intelligent. She loves science and working with machinery, but her favourite thing is after school: Track and field. She loves the exhilaration of speed.
Sonya is a very caring individual, and is very loyal to her friends. She’s the one that people come to when they need a shoulder to cry on or just someone to talk to.
Sonya is slightly paranoid about the Barriers falling and the city becoming overrun by the infected (she has nightmares about this frequently) and so she takes the survival magic class regardless of the fact that she can barely perform any of the spells.
Class: Junior
Abilities: Sonya is one of those people who has trouble lighting a candle. She has a lot of magical potential; she just is very bad at focusing her mind enough to use it. She knows the Warming spell and some healing magic, as well as some basic elemental magic, mostly fire and wind.
Skills: Sonya is a Home-Ec Wizard. She can cook, and bake and sew and knows first aid. She’s also on the Track Team and is a veritable star at the hundred meter dash. She’s also on the cross country team and the Archery team. Where she lack in magic, she makes up for in real world skills. Sonya’s best subject, however, is science, and she is very good at it despite her ditzy, klutzy nature.

Brief History: Sonya was born in Moscow to the prestigious Morozov Family, one of the most magically Affluent families in Russia. Her mother was always disappointed that Sonya was so PAINFULLY BAD at magic. Her childhood was very hard, growing up with all these expectations and never being able to live up to them. But she remained cheerful, and had a very good childhood excepting school and home life. Her life was really fairly typical of a well bread school girl until the third grade, when she joined the track team. She became very athletic and tomboyish for quite a while, much to her mother’s horror, but when she got into her later teens Sonya returned to her previous very girly self. Part of her still remains tomboyish, however. Her parents were both Alumni of Petrov School, and that’s how she got admitted despite her apparent lack of ability.
Name: Ichigo Toya
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance:
DRAWN BY ME! DON’T STEAL!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v644/PockyAddict/Ichigosquattingcolour.jpg
Ichigo is a tall youth standing at 6’3” tall, and has an athletically built body. His eyes are a purplish brown colour (some people say it’s because he has so much magic in him that it leaks out his eyes). He is very distinctly Japanese looking, with almond shaped eyes and a heart shaped face. His short hair is bluish black and hangs in front of his eyes.
Personality: Most people view Ichigo as a mysterious, dark personality, due to the brooding look he usually has on his face and his tendency not to talk to people. In reality he’s just shy, and is actually a nice guy. He’s very loyal to his friends, and can be somewhat airheaded at times, spacing out and just getting lost in his thoughts. His favourite pastimes are drawing and fencing, both of which he is very skilled at.
Ichigo has a very distinct sense of right and wrong, and also of honour.
Many girls fantasize about him as they see him as dark and mysterious, and often girls will come to watch him when he fences.
Class: Senior (But he is a transfer student)
Abilities: Ichigo is very gifted magically. He can perform many different kinds of magic, but he specialized in the manipulation of raw Mana. He knows some advanced weather working spells (Something he decided to try before he came to Russia) and of course knows basic survival magic (Something else taught to him in Japan). He can manipulate the mana inside his body to keep him going longer, harder and faster than any normal human being could, something that makes him a deadly opponent in a fight.
Skills: Ichigo is a master fencer, and a skilled artist. He doesn’t know a lot of real world skills thanks to having been schooled in magic from a young age, but he can cook some and likes to write haiku style poetry. He can speak several languages including English, Russian, and of course Japanese.
Class Schedule:
Advanced Mana Manipulation 2
World History 2

Advanced Weather Working 1
Brief History: Ichigo was born in Japan to a middle class family. His mother’s side was very steeped in magic and tradition, while his father’s side was more modern and less into magic. Ichigo was born with his mother’s eyes, a seemingly purplish brown signifying his magical abilities the day he opened his eyes.
He went to public schools until he reached middle school when he got a scholarship to go to one of the most prestigious schools in the country, not due to his magical abilities, but due to his skill in Fencing. He made many friends and was an open and carefree individual until his parents decided he should go to Petrov School for his senior year after he was offered a scholarship. He feels very Isolated in such a different country where everyone is very different from him and has become much more shy and quiet.
