Hey. Hey you.
Put down that iPod and pay attention.
High school is boring, right? Wake up, go to school, do homework, go to bed. Repeat. Totally boring, unless you go someplace like Hogwarts, in which case I envy you. Kick Voldemort’s butt for me.
Well, I’ve got good news for you: things are about to get a little more interesting. Better enjoy that coli grinding while you can, ‘cause it’ll be the last one you do for a while. You, being your oblivious self, have no idea that your Average-Joe high school is sitting atop a magical faultline. Yep. Magic. As in, dragons, warlocks, crazy quests, and all that damsel-in-distress business. In the unlikely event that the faultline cracks, your high school - and everyone in it - will be transported to the magical world of Junglearia.
What is Junglearia, you may ask? To put it simply, it’s a mash between your average fantasy Petri dish and the motherload of jungles. Of course, instead of gators/crocs/whatever, you have wyverns. You’re welcome.
Why do you end up there? Just ‘cause. Magic is weird.
And you’ll never guess what’s about to crack. I’ll give you a hint: it begins in f and ends in aultline.
Hope that Dom Push was worthwhile.
Hi there!
So, to summarize, what is this? It’s a high school/slice of life RP, obviously! But with one minor drawback: your high school is now a treehouse 1,000 feet in the air. Better get acclimated to your new flora and fauna soon, because this world is on par with Pandora when it comes to deadliness. “Every living thing that crawls, flies or squats in the mud wants to kill you and eat your eyes for jujubees.” Lovely stuff.
How do you plan on surviving the trolls and sorcerers out to get you? Well, alone, you can’t, which is where the good (or at least neutral) guys of Junglearia come in. A couple of witches offered you a deal: find out the secrets of Junglearia, and they protect you and even find a way to send you home. Awesome, right?
Unsure how to hold up your side of the deal? Don’t stress over it; you have powers too! Upon entering this world, you get a serious level-up, becoming some kind of mythological warrior or warlock. Archer? You get a free bow, arrows, and armor. Centaur? Get used to fur. Mermaid? Find a school of fish and hang with them.
If you missed any of that, here’s a bulleted list to help you get the gist:
- You are a high school student or teacher.
- You will become a powerful creature straight out of the fantasy books.
- You start this journey on earth with no knowledge of this.
- You will encounter monster drama.
- You will encounter high school drama.
- You will make your country proud by kicking dragon tail.
- You will totally stress over what to wear to Junglearia prom.
What could possibly go wrong?
Lore
Of course Junglearia has its own legends and species!
For now, we have 2 species on the roster and 0 legends.
- Chimæra - Creatures of the Night - Chaotic Neutral
- Faerie Lights - Helpful Guides - Neutral Good
The Bare Necessities
I don’t want to spoon-feed you the rules, so just read this and study up. Quiz on Wednesday.
- Respect everyone, including me. That means obey me in case you missed it.
- Don’t metagame/godmod/powerplay/any of that stuff.
- No one-liners unless really truly necessary.
- In the “other” section, randomly place the word “FRUIT” if your character is male, and “PUNCH” if female. That way, I know you read the rules.
- Tell me if you’re leaving!
- Don’t be afraid to make a teacher! Principal is open...
- Sure, you’re allowed to make Junglearia residents, but I want to limit that number to, say, five. Pretty much everything there wants to kill you, so I’d rather people not make helpful citizens.
- Try not to make copies of other powers. One or two is fine, sure, but we don’t need a million alchemists.
- No mutiny. We don’t need that drama...
Aaand now for the application!

What’s this mean? I’m glad you asked.
Nickname: What should I call you OOC?
Name: Character name. Duh.
Gender: I’ll accept anything except walrus.
Age/Grade/Class: If a student, what age and grade they are. If a teacher, what age and class they teach. We have exactly one freshman, could we change that?
Appearance: Pictures are preferred but not required!
Personality: More than a sentence, please.
Special Stuff: The fun suff! What did they turn into? Pyromancer? Alchemist? Half-giant? Get creative! It doesn’t have to be magical! Only rock-solid rule is no demons and no angels if school people, and no gods at all. Hey, overpowered stuff is cool to a degree, but keep the next thing in mind. Also, could you, like chill with the werewolves? We have too many shapeshifters, especially canine.
Not-So-Special Stuff: This is the next thing, by the way. Every power comes with a weakness. More powerful, more weak. If your magic is simple, like wings or some jacked up tail, then this isn’t required. If you’re just short of a god, you need serious drawbacks. Mostly inversely proportionate to powers. Fire magic? Weak to water. Simple.
Other: Anything else?
