Ooh an RP'd University, just what I'm after for Starblayde. I have his secret identity set out to be a Professor at Steel Canyon's University (though he has yet to clock up the offline time there for the Professor badge), taking a sideline in investigating his mutation origins, so this would be perfect. A place to hang around in with a theme other than "yey it's a bar" or "we're just under a statue" will also be great.
Ideally, if I'm online enough to warrant it, I'd be after the Professor of Mutation role for him but were there better candidates he could quite easily be Professor of, um, Art(?).
As for what I want to see from it? Jeez, some RP would be nice, and if we can informally help some people along with their RPing (rather than 'join the university and learn to RP') then that'd be great, too. Colour me anxious to hear more!
Blueside Union: Starblayde (Blaster), Pax Imperia (Tanker), Pax Britannia (Defender)
Redside Union: Natasha Redshade (Stalker)
That's great to hear Starblaydia.
Depending on how popular the University becomes, there may well be oppertunity for more formal education professors, such as art and so on.
Heh, it was an X-Men 2 movie reference.
Blueside Union: Starblayde (Blaster), Pax Imperia (Tanker), Pax Britannia (Defender)
Redside Union: Natasha Redshade (Stalker)
Oh it is? I haven't watched the movie in a long time so I wouldn't remember, but you good sir have just inspired me to take up arms! And watch X-men!
Well i would love to join, my lvl 50 currently needs a supergroup and even better since it's roleplay one.
Superb! I look forward to hearing from you again. It was nice to meet you in game also.
Hello everyone!
About two years ago or so myself and a friend (Nuclear Zealot) ran a role-playing Super Group called the University of Paragon. Now, after a couple of years we have been inspired to re-create the role-playing community that we loved, but this time, with a whole load of new fun and creative ideas to make the experience enjoyable for all. However, to further achieve this we want -your- help! That's right, we want to welcome ideas from the community on how to improve the experience...
... BUT FIRST! I'll tell you a little about what we do:
What is the University of Paragon?
- The University of Paragon is a role-playing Super Group that takes place in the setting and theme of a University that is open to both natural/normal students as well as all forms of heroic entities. The super base is designed to reflect a super hero University.
What is their purpose?
- The University of Paragon, from an In-Character perspective aims to teach Super Heroes how to control and develop their super powers, and how they can be put to good use. This is via in character lessons, meetings, Architect training Missions, and street brawls amongst other things. We would also love to be able to bring a sense of community into it, inviting any and all who wish to give role-play a go, a chance to imagine and create individual ideas that will add to the Super Group itself.
- On an Out-Of-Character level the University of Paragon's objective is to create a fun and unique role-playing atmosphere and community, as well as an area to role-play inside the University. We also accept every range of role-playing ability, and thus accept 'weaker' role-players and offer guidance to help get them on what would, from a public perspective, be considered 'the right tracks'. Once we have enough members we will also run missions together.
What has the University got in store?
- We're still organising stuff at the moment, but we intend on organising terms with various activities including festive/seasonal events.
- We also want to put together a 'task force' within the University for those heroes which are battle able and want to learn in the field. This of course means that the leaders will be on hand to help in any way they can.
What does the University already include?
- As the Super Group has seemingly had active members for quite sometime, we gathered a lot of prestige and have used it to create quite a decent sized University with the following facilities:
<ul type="square"> [*]Reception Area [*]Students Bar[*]Assembly Hall[*]Obstacle Course[*]Magic/Mutation Lecture Room [*]Technological/Science Lecture Room [*]Sparring Dojo [*]Further Facilities Room [*]Command Center/Briefing Room [*]Dean's Office [/list]
- Throughout these facilities have been integrated the necessary player interactive items (EG workshops and teleports). If you would like a tour please ask in-game via one of our globals @Ollie Horsfall or @Vincent Valentino.
How can you get involved?
- Currently we have not opened recruitment, but to get an idea of who is interested, please feel free to reply. Once we open recruitment, for students all you need to do is send an IC tell to either @Ollie Horsfall or @Vincent Valentino, and an interview and tour will be arranged.
- We are currently looking for staff to help run the University. These people would need to be experienced and knowledgeable role-players, willing to dedicate time and effort into the super group. They would also be required to help less experienced role-players. The following positions are available:
[u]Task Master[u]
The Task Master's job is to train the students physically and prepare them for combat. He/she will be in charge of the Task Force and be required to elect members and arrange missions.
[u]Professors[u]
This position requires the member to be active and hold regular and interesting (and interactive) classes relevant to the topic. Also, occasional field trips would be ideal. A good knowledge of how to create missions on Architect would be considered valuable, but not necessary,
The following are required:
Professor of Technology
Professor of Mutation
Professor of Science
Professor of Magic
Welfare Officer
This individual would be required to help deal with any social problems within the University and resolve any complaints/grievances (both In-Character and to extents Out-Of-Character). Obviously anything major would then be escalated to the leaders who will also take care of these matters.
- If you are interested in these positions, please reply to this thread and we will arrange an interview In-Character, and a motive as to why.
Do I have to join the Super Group to take part?
- Quite simply, no. If your super group leader is happy to create coalition then that's great! If not, or if you are not in a super group, contact can be made with an online member so you can be Team-ed so you may enter via the base portal.
- To keep in touch and involved, you will be able to join our forums which are under construction.
Do I have to be a student?
- Nope! You can be an Alumni, a graduated student, it means you get a say in some of the aspects of the university, basically like being on the Board of Governors. However you obviously have to be a student first. Ranks go from Freshman, Senior to Alumni.
- Don't want to be a student but want in on the action? Character too old/already mastered to be a student? Then you can apply to be a member of the University Guardians (protectors of the University).
So! Now I hand it over to you guys. What do you want to see with the University of Paragon?
Thank you,
Balarak Ayarnayo
