HAPPY NEW YEARS~
It's 2012 at last! Despite this being a new year, things are going to proceed as normal at the Academy and thus the Activity Check and of the month voting have been put up! Go and vote as well as saving yourself from the dreaded account deletion in two weeks time! Please note that we'd really appreciate anyone who decides to vote in the Of the Months. Last month we didn't even get enough votes to make a choice! Help us prevent that this time guys! <3

Activity has been a little on-and-off thanks to the holidays but don't be afraid to jump back into the role-play if you have the time. We always love our members to be active! Speaking of activity, I'm going to remind you all once again to log into all of your accounts. A lot of you tend to forget and it makes our online list look a bit sickly at times.

[justify]This board is for stand-alone posts (or even full threads, if you wish!) that happened in the past. As this RPG is set on a specific timeline, threads can only be in the present when made in the board. This solves that problem. Note: If you want a future thread, go right ahead. Just mark it clearly as such.[/justify]

These are the dormitories of the thunder students. They are located in one of the two tallest turrets, up in the clouds. The clouds surrounding the windows are usually storm clouds because of the energy charged in the occupants of the dorms.

These dormitories are also located underground, but just underneath the lake. The ceiling is clear, and the water creates alluring patterns on the wall. The air is damp and moist here. In case anyone is worried--yes, they do frequent checks to ensure the ceiling won't shatter and send the wrath of the lake upon the water students.

The Earth dormitories are actually accessed from cellar on the first floor, leading via tunnel onto the grounds and into an underground hollow. Plants grow from the earthen walls and a fragrant scent hangs in the air. There is also an alternate entrance on the grounds themselves, which is the one usually used when the weather is nicer.

While the thunder dorms are located in one of the largest turrets, the wind dorms are located in the other. Clouds completely obscure this area, drawn closer by the aura the wind students give off.

These courses are for the highschool students, grades nine through twelve. Only post in these if you're in the required grade - or else you've been given outside permission by a staff member. Official classes will be marked as such, all others are merely filler threads.

College is, by no means, a mandatory path. In fact, most students choose to leave immediately after grade twelve, sick after four years of forcing themselves to the limit. However, if you're one of those select few willing to push that little bit further, you could be on the way to elemental mastery.

Since the Academy is a school where the students must live-in, like a boarding school, there has to be some place for them to get food. Most kids tend to sit in groups with their element, but seating is not prearranged; there are several tables scattered across the large hall.

Since the Academy was built in a castle, there's no shortage of rooms and hallways. A small portion of the Academy classrooms are now abandoned, and students sometimes use them to practice their powers - or get up to no good. Fights sometimes break out in the hallways, as crossing paths with a rival is sometimes unavoidable.

In a school such as the Academy of the Elements, injury is almost always unavoidable. And some of the injuries cannot be explained, so the Academy has their own medical wing to treat their wounded. For some issues, however, students are shipped to the hospital in Maple Hollow.

If you need a good book on a certain subject, you can be almost positive that the library of the Academy of the Elements has something just right. It's massive, with hundreds upon thousands of books on just about any subject you could imagine. It is located in one of the towers and goes up several floors, with massive windows surrounding it that face the outside.

Remember your creepy basement back home? Multiply that horrific room by about a hundred times, and you've gotten close to what the dungeons look like to most of the student body. Darker student groups such as fire and thunder can often be found lurking down here, and if you aren't careful when walking alone, you might find yourself in a spot of trouble. Old cells litter the place, as it was obviously in use years ago, and some skeletons still lie in piles of bones in their prison.

Step outside of the wide double doors that are the entrance to the academy, and you find yourself on a nice, well-kept lawn. A few trees provide shade for students that like to do homework outside or stand chatting with friends. The lake lies to the northwest, and the wilderness to the east.

Lying slightly to the northwest of the sweeping green lawn, the large lake of the Academy sits at the foot of the large cliffs used for raves and parties. Sand covers part of the shore, creating a pleasant beach for students that want to do a little sunbathing. Careful you don't get burnt!

Located at the very edge of the Academy ground perimeter, a cliff rises out from behind the lake. In the early days of the school, earth students carved a rough trail up the side so that students could climb and enjoy the veiw. The present day population often holds parties here at night, when they can sneak away from the school.

[justify]As the Academy is in a castle, it only made sense for them to utilise the old bell tower for something purposeful. It clangs loudly and obnoxiously at different intervals during the day to symbolise the start and end of classes. It‘s possible to climb the tower and look out the windows onto the grounds, but only the maintenance staff can get into the bell chamber.[/justify]

Formerly just called 'the forest' by the inhabitants of the Academy, a recent discovery of dangerous animals dubbed it a new nickname, which stuck. Students below the age of sixteen are forbidden to enter, and even the older students are cautioned to keep back.

These are the most expensive (and they mean expensive) houses in Maple Hollow. Most of them feature beautiful landscaping, multiple floors, and a pool. There's privacy, too, because your neighbors, while still in sight, aren't quite flanking you. There's a small crime rate, but most can afford security measures, so it's not much of a concern for them.

The most lower class, and of course cheapest, residences. While it is a small town, there's still a reputation for crime in it's downtown alleyways, so the residential areas close-by are also often at risk. But still, if it means a roof over your head... it's worth a little risk, right?

This is the small city near the Academy, the only settlement really close enough for people to be able to go on the weekends. It's your typical place, with nightclubs and restaurants, variety stores and cafes. There is an upper-class area featuring a small collection of mansions, a large residential middle-class area, and a seedy downtown center.
