WEATHER AND UPDATES
MONTH JUNE SEASON SUMMER
UPDATES
NOTICE There is currently a ban on the creation of fire and thunder students. Due to the low population of the other elements, this ban will remain in effect until I feel the need to end it.
19.06.09 We're in desperate need of Water and Earth students at the moment, if people haven't noticed. Those that we do have aren't very active, with the exception of a few members, you know who you are. It's sort of odd having the majority of the characters as Thunder and Fire, considering not only are they allies, but they're also the dark elements. We need some more peacekeepers, geez!
Also, my exams are almost over, so I'll probably try and come up with a new plot after the summer kicks in for precious old Canada over here! Tee hee!

All important threads are located here. Please read the rules and check the other threads as well, because they all have certain signifigance to the site.
All information on the different elements, personalities and species will be under this board. This helps when deciding which element to place your character in.
Once you've read all of the important threads and decided which element you want your character to be in, come here to create your character. Make sure to use the template!
Does your character need someone in their life? Best friend, boyfriend, brother? Other half, girlfriend, sister? Cousin? Anything? Request for someone to be that special person here.
If your character likes to turn to their diary or their blog to rant, rave and vent, post their thread here. The main difference - diaries are private, blogs are public.
These are the dormitories of the fire students. Located in the dungeons, the air is sweltering with heat, and the stone walls are hot to the touch. Don't be caught hanging around here at night, they don't like to be disturbed.
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.
A tunnel from the dungeons leads out into an underground hollow way deep in the forest. There is also a door in the dorm that leads into the woods itself, so earth students sometimes like to sleep outside under the canopy of leaves and stars.
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.
Since the academy was built in a castle, there are no shortage of rooms and hallways. a small portion of the academys 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.
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. The library is also open to students wishing to study, but not practice their powers.
In a school such as the Academy of the Elements, injury is almost always unavoidable. Instead of having wounded students transferred to the hospital in the nearest town for every little injury, there is a nurses office that will serve many first aid purposes.
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.
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. The mess hall has five long tables, one for each element, and one shorter table facing the rest at the front of the room, for the staff.
Been acting up again? You must have been, in order to end up in here. or else you may have been wrongfully accused, possibly framed, maybe? Many students quickly become regulars here when they think they can get away with rule breaking.
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.
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.
Only ask me to set up a residential board if you think your character will actually visit their house, such as if they bring friends or have other siblings at the Academy you can actually RP with. If there's no point, don't ask until there is.
This is the small town near the Academy, the only town 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. Just make sure to specify what type of a place you're in when you make a thread.
