the academy

Located in the bustling Republic City, the Academy of Element Benders stands as one of the top institutions for educating young benders in honing their skills for their respective elements. The Academy, though at the heart of a very modern city, relives the monarchic traditions of their bending forefathers within its academy grounds, encouraging its students to appreciate the roots from which their bending nature sprung from.
 

the four classes

The academy is divided into four classes, each representing a single element. These classes will compete against each other for the title of reigning empire, taking over all academy activities till the next tournament.

rules and guidelines


I. UNIVERSE
— This is an AU roleplay. It takes places in the universe of the Legend of Aang/Korra, therefore your character is not an idol.


II. TIMEFRAME 
— Though the theme takes terms and systems from TLoA and LoK, the era has been set to modern times to allow players to relate to their characters more.


III. CHARACTER 
— Your character can be an academy student or an educator. Keep in mind that your character must be a bender to enroll in the Academy.


IV. LITERACY 
— The roleplay accepts both semi-literate and literate roleplayers, as well as both script and para typing styles.
—  ​​​Emojis, text speak and crack are fine, however not allowed outside the OOC and SNS groups.


V. RELATIONSHIPS
— All orientations are allowed.
— do not discriminate against any orientation.
— There is no relationship ban because we highly encourage plotting, but do not face-chase.
— Move-in couples are allowed, provided that you both also interact with others.


VI. PROHIBITIONS 
— Godmodding, metagaming, face-chasing, selective replies, rude behavior and all other types of inappropriate conduct is not allowed.


VII. IC vs OOC 
— Please know the difference between the two.
— You may construct your character however you wish, but we suggest you avoid inserting too much of your own personality into your character to avoid misunderstandings with other roleplayers.
— OOC drama is frowned upon and prohibited; do not also bring your OOC problems from another roleplay here.


VIII. POINT SYSTEM 
— The roleplay uses a point system both for personal use and for collective class points.
—  Points can be earned through public plots, games and events.
— Personal points determine who reigns as the leader of each class after every activity check, while collective house points determine which class reigns as the 'ruling nation' till the next activity check.


IX. HIATUS AND DEPARTURES 
—  A hiatus lasts for a month while a semi-hiatus lasts anywhere up to two weeks. If you need to take either one, make sure to notify the mod.
—  Leaving the roleplay also constitutes for a little courtesy; notify the mod, leave the groups, and unfriend everyone.
—  Please do not announce your departure in the OOC group; exchanging of other means of contact may be done through private messages.
—  Kickouts are not limited to inactivity; the mod has the right to kick out whoever deliberately breaks the rules more than once.

X. ACTIVITY 
— We highly encourage everyone to welcome new members and socialize outside of PM.
—  You may also roleplay in PM but only plots posted in groups and walls will be counted as your activity and for points.
—  If you do not roleplay in public, you may get mistakenly kicked out. It defeats the purpose of roleplaying if you will simply hide in PM.
