I like it, should lead to some interesting rping for all. I know this'll be a great subject to start on in my character's experiences.

For those that don't know, I was Drake Moldune. I'm just going to explain something that will probably go along with what you guys have mentioned about the Edge thing. As some of you may know, Drake and Kyukaku began to fight in the burning building know as the Edge. I'm goint to play it off that the battle was pretty even until the end when The building began to truly collapse. Drake would have taken back control of his body and told Kyukaku to get out while he still could, and stayed in to repent for his sins. As of now I'm not sure if I'm going to have Drake die in the building or some how survive and come to this school later (as my second character). I am going to make a brother of Drake instead that is basically Jackal without a good side. So let me know if this fits alright with the story so far.

I don't really see how your idea would interfere with the overall story unless Kyukaku needed Drake for something. Otherwise it seems to be alright.

The problem i see is... Why did we transfer half way across the country?

Because Hircine was the school that, for reasons unknown, dropped large amounts of money to Varron Councilmembers to get us. For reason unknown.
WHich means WE can develop that somehow, someday!

Come on Paul, even you would enjoy doing the Plot Hole dance! The real reason is that we all felt that San Fransisco fits our board's style perfectly, and considering we're all stubborn, we're not going to let geography stop us. Simply put. Now that we've got the way we integration in mind, we'll have to start working on the environment of Hircine itself. I'd suggest something, but I've got to bail right now. Anyone have any bright ideas?

See, I told you the bribe part would come in handy.

It'd take more than a bribe to move someone like Shamino. Y'all are lucky I moved to San Francisco anyways >.>

Looks good to me, though I would prefer that it be in the same city. I find more more believable since the Masses threads did show that transfer inside the city were a common practice. I think the need to remove to another city is still unfounded.
Also, such a hevay transfer would disrupt Sterns plans, making the break off reasonable. That helps with me having to cancel it.
However, I have to mention that such a transfer would reasonably take a large amount of time, and if the school shut down it would be unlikely that the students would graduate that year. I would like an explination written into this that accounts for the speed whihc the problem was addressed and the acdemic ramifications of the students.

You're a quick robot, and I should've expected as much from you.
I've actually got all that thought out as well, King, I just didn't want to reveal all of it to everyone just yet, I wanted to wait and spring it on them when we actually start RPing.
Oh, and Shamino, that's actually just it: Graduates such as yourself, myself, Taiku, and presumably King, here, weren't included in the giant bribe and transfer. This storyline leaves it open as to why we're all here in the first place. In other words, you've been here long enough to graduate, you can figure out a decent reason to be in San Fran.

OK I see it this way, perhaps I'm wrong and missed something but I would rather have it shoved in my face then have it go unsaid.
I get the point that a school half way across the country gave the Varron Council a huge damn bribe to take their students. Your however missing the point that many of the students and their families (being the ones here) could not realistically or logically afford to move here. The cost of moving such a distance is costly, and as such far beyond many of the students. Your also not taking into account that some of us students have parents how can you justify them just picking up and moving from Varron to San Fran? If your established why would you move? Unless that is your trying to tell me that this whole thing is up to us?
If it is I find it kind of unjust in the sense that as it stands many of us feel displaced. We were all on one board and now we are on a different one that is totally different and have no real clue what is going on. I don't see your storyline covering some of the basic main points here, mainly the family and moving aspects. I would not see it unreasonable to offer some sort of way around this such as something as lame as "Many received transfer notices from their companies telling them they are moving to the San Fran branch." Because as it stands I cannot see this working out to well.

It makes sense. But like Malikai says, it is pretty illogical for such a huge transfer to happen. But it is just a suggestion, gotta be open to them. My only feed back is that there needs to be some elaboration on the graduates coming to be in the school. That my two cents.

The Graduates coming to SF is not a part of the boards matter... They have to give their own reason to do it. But, as I see for a fine way to explain as of why everyone moved willingly, or unwillingly. The government, the big bad beast standing behind you and breathing down your neck. They found out about how bad the situation in Varron was. The students had pollutted the surrounding area with their attitude and bla bla bla... They finally decided it was enough, the biggest trouble makers were hauled into prison. While the rest got a ultimatum. Join 'em or go to Hircine High. They would pay for the transport using train. The kids with parents would have to say bye bye to them and live in the dorms provided by the government (Or Shamino?). Thus, giving a reason for the dorms to be so overcrowded by people. Those students already in Hircine would of course be troubled by the new influx of insane students or insane overly good students. The reason why they were moved so far away? Simple. They were to cut even the ties they had farthest away from Varron. Who in Varron would have a connection to someone in SF? Likely to be 0 for everyone. Hence. We say the government will be the major factor here as to why so many students got transferred to save the environment of Varron and to try to restore the school systems and bla bla bla... and perhaps to hide all the students away for some time? Just an idea... I had more to say, but it seems I have to go help with the dinner now ^^

I think so many of you are trying to think of this in real world logic, and that simply won't cut it. Have you all forgotten that this is part of the XIN world, despite being a new school entirely? With the coperal punishment system in effect who knows what other crazy rules there are? The way I see it, Hircine High is the best school at disciplining it's students, thus with a bit of government funding the worst offenders, or perhaps those with a more verbal influence over the students, some with more personal ties, were sent to the best school for keeping the door closed on public "No-no's".
It's simple, basic, fits in with pretty much everything, and leaves room open for exantion. At least, I think it does. I just woke up, so I'm not quiet sure.

I'm sure this was said, but I got lost in the bigger posts due to my lack of attention today.
Parents wouldn't have to go. Since we must dorm at the school its a boarding school unless you can commute. So, likely almost none of the Varron students should have families going as it would be hard for them to find new jobs in such a mass migration.

The idea behind the Dorm system is that if you don't have family, your put in there. Or so I've read.

Or, to save a lot of time, there's always the idea of "If you can't find a reason for your character to be there, make a new one."
