Dear Sparrow,
You have proven yourself fitting of Trebloome Academy. I, a professor at the academy, wish to extend an invitation to our university. You are different from those around you. We know of love, and of pain. We know of both strength, and of weakness. You are the best of humanity, imperfections and all.
We will teach you to be strong. Your mind shall prosper, your arm strengthen, your soul deepen, and your heart reveal the beauty that lies within. We are so very, very imperfect...
And in our imperfection, we are perfect.
Welcome home, Sparrow.
-Lucien Vairmourne, Jack of Hearts
Welcome to the third chapter of the Trebloome legacy. Trebloome Academy is, of course, a Pokemon role-play that takes place within the halls of an forgotten and prestigious academy. The true heart of Trebloome, however, isn't schoolwork. It isn't battling. It isn't adventuring.
The heart is you. Tears, laughter, sorrow, bliss; these things are the lifeblood of Trebloome. It's about your character's thoughts... Your character's actions. Your character's beliefs. It's about falling in love, it's about making rivals. It's raw humanity at its finest. It's about your character's growth. By singing up for Trebloome, you begin writing another chapter to your character's story. You make them better. You exploit their flaws, their strengths and shake their very core. You'll test your characters, and in turn, your characters will test you.
The Story, So Far...

And so, our story begins... We will fall and crumble, and yet, we will rise through the shattered pieces of our broken self. We will shake the world.
We are perfect, in our imperfection.

The Story, So Far...
Trebloome Academy was first opened as an academy one year ago. The year was ended prematurely, as a mysterious figure named December began showing signs of hostility towards the school. The students were dismissed. One month after the students left, Trebloome Academy was destroyed by December and his followers.
The students returned to Trebloome the following year, though December showed himself once more during a masquerade ball celebration. We continue the story as the students return from a long holiday, in which the students were given time away to go spend with their families and friends.

The Academy
Trebloome Academy is a grand bastion of a school. The stone sanctuary resembles an ancient castle or cathedral, with for spires rising into the sky. Each spire represents one of the houses that Trebloome students are divided into; Body, Mind, Heart, and Soul. The Academy is positioned on an exotic, icy island north of the Sinnoh region. The island is usually cloaked in snow, though warm air currents, springs, and volcanic activity make the island strangely warm in some locations. You will find a multitude of beautiful locations upon the Trebloome island, including pine forests, tundras, hot springs, warm seas, icy mountains, and cracking glaciers.
The university itself is very large and expansive, and is structured so that a circle weaves itself through each of the four towers. At the very heart of the academy, a lush garden and a rose carved from stone may be found.
Your characters arrive by steamship, though a constantly flow of aquatic traffic ensures that new students are always able to make their debut at the academy once invited. If you join the RP after it has already begun, your character will arrive by boat just as all the others, though at a later time.

The Houses
As previously stated, Trebloome divides its students into four different houses. Once you are accepted, I will place your character in a house based on their sign-up.
Body - The house of Body is the house of earthly change. A member of Body tends to be confident, unwavering, and show prowess at all they are interested in. Members of Body can range from both the strongest and the weakest of characters; they are a house of the physical, and of raw character.
Head of Body - Undecided
Mind - The house of Mind is one of curiosity, wisdom, intelligence, and the eccentric. Members of the house of Mind range from quick-thinking rogues, distracted geniuses, and quiet thinkers. You needn't be overly intelligent to join this house; you merely need to look at the question, and ask... Why?
Head of Mind - Undecided
Heart - The house of Heart is the house of the emotional, the artistic, the quick of wit and tongue, the lovers, and even the heartbroken. Passion is the core of this house, and you will find the lovers, the poets, the musicians, the artists, the clever and the sly, and even those who hunger for something more.
Head of Heart - Lucien Vairmourne
Soul - The house of Soul is one of character. Deep, haunting flaws plague members of Soul... Though, on the other side of the coin, members of Soul are often those with great destiny. Philosophers, heroes, and legends often fall into this house. Members of Soul are those who see the world differently than others, and so, we may find both the weakest and the strongest amidst its halls.

Rules
1. You will never insult or deliberately harm another member of the RP. There's absolutely no reason for you to willingly hurt another member's feelings. There are no exceptions to this rule.
2. My word is law. This RP is a creation that I've put a lot of effort and thought into. But it isn't for my enjoyment... It's my gift to you. Anything I say or do is for your best interest, and for the best interest of all your fellow RPers.
3. Please, keep your posts relevant and meaningful. I hate one-line posts. If you can't take the time to seriously contribute with your posts, you shouldn't be in this RP. I'm not saying that all of your posts need to be paragraphs long; they need to actually contribute to the RP in some way.
4. If you're denied, try again! The whole reason I accept/deny RPers is to teach and help my RPers grow. If I deny your sign-up, don't fret. It doesn't mean that I don't want you. It means that I want you, and so I want to help make your character better for this particular RP.
5. If you wish to leave, can't make your timezone work, or just can't post as much as you would like, please, let me know. I don't like random disappearances, and they can really cripple the other RPers. You're free to leave at your own discretion, just let me know beforehand in a PM or something.
6. If you've read this, post something regarding a rose and a thorn in your sign-up. Don't put it in an "other" section, or anything of the sort. Please, make it subtle. I need to know that you've read and understand the rules.
7. Have fun! That's what this game is all about. I like to see RPs not only as entertainment, but as an art form. This game can be something truly beautiful, so let's make it the best that it can be.

Sign-Up
Name: What is your character's name?
Gender: What is your character's gender?
Age: How old is your character? A student should be no younger than fourteen, but no older than nineteen.
Subject: What subject does your character teach? You're allowed to teach more than one subject, but try to show a little restraint. We want opportunities to be fair for everyone. Obviously, this only applies to teacher characters.
Appearance: What does your character look like? This should be fairly descriptive.
Backstory: Who is your character, and where does he/she come from? This should be very descriptive and in-depth. Your student needs to have be something special, but not overly so. A character with a higher intelligence than most of his peers is good. Someone with an IQ of 300 isn't.
Personality: What kind of person is your character? This should also be very descriptive. This should be one of the key foundations to your character; just remember... Everyone has both strengths and weaknesses.
Pokemon: What Pokemon does your character use? You may have six Pokemon, but please, keep the teams realistic. Your characters are budding students; they shouldn't have a team of fully-evolved dragons and starters. Teachers are allowed a stronger team than students. No legends, obviously.
Theme Song: What song best represents your character? This is optional and completely for fun. It can also help get a better feel for a character in the eyes of the other RPers.
---
Unlike in most RPs, students aren't the complete certain of attention. Most of the RP will take place outside of class, and will focus on interaction and plot more than classes. Teachers serve as strong characters who guide and help the students... But that's far from all. There's love, hatred, pain, and joy in their lives, too.
Also, if you're interested in having a character lead a House, let me know in your sign-up. Your character must be a teacher in order to lead a house. I'll consider your character for the position, and let you know if they've been appointed the position.

We are perfect, in our imperfection.
