It’s time to opt in and roll up your characters for Halforums Academy 2! In case you’re new or have forgotten, here’s a link to last year’s Halforums Academy threads.

HA1 Story update thread:
https://www.halforums.com/posts/1082371/
As with last year, there will be no explicit content in the feed, though the story will undoubtedly involve characters “getting busy” with each other. Unlike the sims, where the action is watched from on high by an omniscient being, Artificial Academy requires me to run the game from the perspective of one of the students, though which student that is will change from day to day. I do my best to not have the student act out of character (in accordance with your descriptions in your character sheet) when I am in control of them. You may roll male or female, and there’s no real problem with you creating a character who is not “you,” but if you ask me trying to make your avatar as similar to yourself as possible is part of the fun.
EVEN IF YOU HAD A CHARACTER ROLLED LAST TIME, IF YOU WANT IN THIS TIME YOU NEED TO REROLL AS THE CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES HAVE CHANGED AND THERE IS NO “IMPORT.”
Major changes include new personality types, an overhaul of the traits/quirks, elimination of the “tastes” section, the addition of fighting styles and tokens, exams, grades, and how clubs work has changed. It is now possible for students to play hooky from class/clubs, change clubs, and be eliminated from the game via pregnancy (both parents drop out). Murder is still possible, and still removes both the killer and the victim from the game, unless one or the other makes a lucky saving throw (unless both do, in which case they cancel out and both are still removed). Students may now make plans to go on dates on sundays, the dates are part of gameplay, and every other saturday is an exam day. There is a “teacher” slot in the class but I doubt we will be using it as the “teacher” is still the same age and stature as the student body, just with imposed hurdles and consequences to interaction with the students.
Unlike last year, I’ve created a blogger blog to contain the updates, which I think will help presentation some and lend some more permanence to the story in case something happens to the thread (you never know). That blog address is http://halforumsacademy2.blogspot.com/ though I will still create a discussion/update thread where links to updates will be posted.
This space reserved for cast list. Names will turn blue/pink as I complete their character, with a link to a picture of said character. Requests for changes to appearance must be made before the game proper starts. In the unlikely event we get more volunteers than the class can hold, slots will be first-come-first served, with a waiting list of students waiting to transfer in if and when slots become available.
