Black Balsam Arts Academy, a prestigious boarding high school for the world's brightest creative minds, is located high in the mountains of Southern Oregon, deep in the woods southwest of the town of Ashland, on the California border. Covering over 3,000 acres of mountainous forest, grassy balds, flowery meadows, and some of the most striking vintage architecture one could imagine. A place where young writers, artists, animators, architects, musicians, and filmmakers pour their hearts and souls into their passions and their craft. 97 percent of graduates go on to establish themselves as trailblazers in their respective fields.

You, however, feel as though you don't belong here.

According to the calligraphy notes slid under your room door every evening, someone planted you here.

You soon discover, a lot of your classmates were planted here.

Something tells you the only way to find out why involves journeying deep into the woods beyond campus walls.

Note: this is an open RP! It should not be closed off at any time, so just ask to join in and fill out a character sheet! Feel free to lurk as well, should you not feel like roleplaying. The concept is vague, the plotline is open for change, and really this can be anything we want to make of it, so go wild!
__
Some rules: In addition to site-wide RP rules, some clarifications. Profanity is okay in moderation, as well as violence and gore. NO SLURS. This is not a requirement, but if you would, do your best to provide trigger warnings for the following content: gore, excessive violence, language, meat, parental issues, death.

Where is this character from?: downtown Seattle, Washington
Appearance: they have chestnut-colored skin with shoulder length coffee brown hair, wavy in texture and styled in some sort of a short wolf cut. He has sharp cheekbones, accentuated by honey-gold eyes, and a few ear piercings of the same color. They stand at about 5’10”, with a slightly slouched posture and a thin physique.
~exayuhmple~: face :0, hair and piercings >:)
Usual Clothing: here, have this » pic 1, and pic 2
Personality: A bit shy and socially anxious, enjoying his own company but feeling lonely most of the time. He often acts awkward and nervous around people he doesn’t know, but eventually warms up to them and shows his goofy side. As an artist, his mind often wanders and he finds himself lost in thought many times throughout the day.
Likes: (at least 3) chai lattes, plants, cats, sketching, the rain, and the ocean
Dislikes: (at least 3) people who try to get him to be more outgoing, loud noises, losing their pencils, and having to clean their room
Fears: (at least 2) being left behind or alone, driving, trusting people
Mannerisms: often carries a sketchbook, doodling in it when he gets bored or nervous. Runs his hand through his hair when stressed, and never cleans his room. They usually can’t make it through the day without coffee, and roam the school grounds reading in their spare time.
Backstory:grew up with a single mother and an older sister, the latter having died in a car accident when he was fifteen. He had spent the last few years alone, never getting out of the house unless it was necessary, then quickly went to the school in order to escape the past and pursue his dreams of becoming an artist.
Open for relationships?: Absolutely.
