"So close no matter how far.
Couldn't be much more from the heart.
Forever trusting who we are,
and nothing else matters.
Never opened myself this way;
Life is ours, we live it our way.
All these words I don't just say,
and nothing else matters."

EDIT: The RP has started. I am no longer accepting sign-ups. Click here for the Start-Up thread. This thread will serve as a place for OOC discussions.
You picked up a pamphlet the other day. Looking it over, it appears to be an advertisement for a type of trainer's school.
Lilycove University: A place to grow!
Welcome, prospective student! Thank you for including Lilycove University amongst your considerations. We hope you will read over this pamphlet and see what makes Lilycove University one of the top rated schools in Hoenn!
About the School:
Lilycove University started off as a training program for new trainers who wanted a leg-up over their competition. Today, Lilycove University continues that tradition! Our school is located on the mountain side, just south of Lilycove City, offering a scenic view of the ocean and a close-connection to nature. There's something for everybody here at LU; we hope you join us to find your calling!
Lilycove University has a large campus with facilities to accommodate all types of students from all walks of life. Whether from Unova, Sinnoh, or even right here in Hoenn, students can feel at ease and at home here on our scenic campus!
Should you choose to join LU, student housing is included at no additional cost to you! Our student dorms are of the highest quality among similar schools; fully furnished, with all the necessities for living on campus.
A welcome from the Dean, Walter Harkens:
Good day, and thank you for including Lilycove University in your considerations. At LU, we are continuing our long-standing tradition of offering quality education and experiences that simply could not be found elsewhere. Whether you're a rookie or already a seasoned trainer, there's something for everyone here at the university. We hope that you make an informed decision, and wish you the best of luck in your education!
- Dean Harkens
Student Life:
Once your application is received and processed, you will be placed in one of our three student groups, as well as receive housing instructions and accessories to match your given group. Remember: the group you are placed in is not necessarily indicative of your strength or ability.
Lilycove University has three houses for students. The house you are placed in is final, and is left up to the university board's discretion.
Lumineon House: Represented by navy-blue and pink. Colloquially referred to as "Water House" as well. Lumineon students receive a navy-blue wristband with a light-blue "wing" pattern resembling the fins of a Lumineon, and a small badge resembling an ocean wave.
Ninetales House: Represented by orange and tan. Colloquially referred to as "Fire House" as well. Ninetales students receive an orange wristband with a tan "fan" pattern resembling the tails of a Ninetales, and a small badge resembling a burning flame.
Cacturne House: Represented by pale-green and forest green. Colloquially referred to as "Grass house" as well. Cacturne students receive a pale-green wristband with a forest green "diamond" pattern resembling the head of a Cacturne, and a small badge resembling a smooth leaf.
University Rules:
- Lilycove University adheres to the educational standards of all universities in Hoenn, as documented in Hoenn law. (Standard BMG forum rules apply)
- You are a student, here to learn! While we understand some students may excel in one location over other students, remember that we are all here for the same purpose. (No God-modding)
- Respect your fellow students, and treat them the way you yourself would want to be treated! (No bunnying)
- In dealing with any altercations in matters concerning the atmosphere of the school, Dean Harkens has the utmost authority and the final say in such situations. Likewise, school officials appointed by the Dean have the final authority as well. (Please respect the GM (that's me). I try to remain as unobtrusive as possible, but if things get heated, I will find a solution that hopefully benefits all parties involved.)
- While the university understands, and in a way, encourages students to form bonds with one another, we ask that you remain professional and courteous to your fellow students. (Romance is fine, but please keep it PG-13.)
Miscellaneous guidelines:
-(Be polite and show respect to your fellow players. If you are having a problem with a certain user, contact me via PM.)
-(Keep tennising (multiple consecutive posts between two users) to a minimum.)
-(Occasional swearing is fine, excessive swearing Tenacious D style is not.)
-(Keep your writing neat and legible. Please use proper punctuation, and watch for egregious spelling errors. I'm not expecting perfection, but try to keep it neat.
)
-(Try to stay active. I understand real life comes first, and if you are unable to post for a prolonged period of time, please let me know. Prolonged absence without any notification is cause for removal.)
-(If you have read and agreed to the following rules, include the phrase "Nothing else matters" somewhere in your sign-up.)

Again, we thank you for your consideration, and we hope you choose LU as your educational foundation!
Hmm? At the bottom of the pamphlet, there appears to be some faint lettering...
NOTE TO THE EDITOR: Make damn sure you put in the attached note files I sent you dispelling the rumors of a haunting that plague our school. These damn kids won't drop it, and it's scaring away potential applicants! Remove this note in the final printing...
...whoops.

Example Sign-Up:
Name: Juliana "Julie" Rivers
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance: Juliana is a petite woman, standing around 5'2" with brown eyes. She has medium length black hair that falls to her shoulders. She leaves her hair as is, preferring not to style it. She wears a plain black jacket with a white shirt underneath, and a pair of baggy pants. She has a small, silver locket that hangs around her neck, her most prized possession. She is never seen without it.
Personality: Juliana is very quiet and reserved. Though she's not against meeting new people, she's often far too timid to initiate contact by herself. Her shyness sometimes causes her to stammer and lose her train of thought. She is jumpy and easily frightened, which, unfortunately, other people often take advantage of.
However, despite all this, she is very loyal and protective of her friends. She has a strong sense of justice, and if she sees someone being wronged or needing help, she will rise to the occasion, ignoring her fears and doubts. For the brief moment that this occurs, nothing else matters but the safety of her friends. After the danger has passed and everything is okay, she might freak out and start listing all the things that could have possibly gone wrong.
History: Juliana grew up in Kanto with her mother and father in Saffron City. She lived a relatively normal life, but always had trouble making friends due to her shyness. Her father always encouraged her, helping her overcome her fears when she needed it most. She loved both her parents, but is especially close to her father, who helped her out through troubling times.
To show her appreciation to her father, who used to be a trainer before he retired to raise his family, she decided to follow in his footsteps. Being too afraid to just start a journey by herself with no prior experience, Juliana and her parents both decided that Juliana would go to a trainer's school to learn the basics, make new friends, and, hopefully, improve her overall disposition.
Pokemon Choices: Jigglypuff, Ralts, Abra.
Others: Likes: Justice, honesty, friendship. Dislikes: Bullies, scary things, being the center of attention.
Prefers to be called by her nickname, "Julie."
