the high school au meme   1. Post with your character with their name and series in the subject line. Optionally: include a small description of what they're like in the AU. 2. Roll 1-19. or come up with your own scenarios. 3. ??? 4. Play out high school AU times.     1. first day Catch up with old friends, brave new teachers, fight your way through the sea of students, and hope you're in the right classroom. Oh, you're the new kid. Well, that's okay as long as you've got more than enough summer vacation anecdotes to fill ten pages of Times New Roman size 12, single-spaced.   2. first period You're gonna be late! Or are you already there? Class hasn't started just yet, so chat it up or copy your classmate's homework before the teacher gets here.   3. lesson proper You're probably diligently taking notes, looking out the window daydreaming or reciting in class, much to your teacher's delight - or dismay. Try not to be too obvious when counting down the minutes and pass that note as discreetly as possible.   4. faculty Have a bone to pick with your terror math teacher. A crush on the cute chemistry teacher? There might be something you want to ask your homeroom teacher about. In any case, you plan on seeing a faculty member today. Or maybe they plan on seeing you!   5. lunch break Man, you are starving. Hopefully, today's menu has something good. If the crowded cafeteria's not your thing, try the rooftop.   6. hooky One of you is skipping class. You should try talking them out of it if that's your thing.   7. detention What on earth did you do to get this? Oh well. Detention can't be that bad when you've got all these very nice, approachable model students around to talk to.   8. p.e. Baseball, basketball, dodgeball - no matter the sport, just remember: you are the star. It's you. At least, you hope it is.   9. home ec. Sewing! Cooking! ... Try not to burn the school down!   10. lab work Frog dissections! Explosions!   11. school fair/festival Every school has one of these. What's your class doing this year?   12. theater Oh boy, oh boy, being the star of this play is your dream. It isn't? Oh. You're still helping with the props and costumes, right?   13. library If you need to look something up or just want some peace and quiet, this is the place. Whatever you do, shh, people are trying to read.   14. bully Whether they take the form of Nelson Muntz or Regina George, if you choose to meet them at the gym at four o' clock or else, be ready to face the consequences... or maybe you don't have to. Not when someone's here to help you out. (This can go either way - one of the participants can be the bully or someone helping the victim.)   15. tutor You're having trouble with a class or you're trying to make up for the days you were absent. It's a good thing someone was nice enough to offer their assistance.   16. clubs Assuming that you actually have one. Are you writing for the school paper? Part of the student council? The marching band? Maybe you're a member of one of those weird occult clubs or something...   17. prom Do you have a dress? A date? Who are you voting for prom king? Is being on prom committee is driving you crazy? Do you even care?   18. graduation Well, it was fun while it lasted. It's time to say those last words, settle those scores and get ready to grow up.   19. roll again/make your own scenario ( from here )

i guess since i bullied you into this i should post

[decks]

[straight-a student, on the karate team, abnormally stronger than she looks. bit of a know-it-all. might fuck you up if you piss her off. is the hair natural? who the hell knows.]

wow you're such a dick omg i can't believe i listen to you

[defecting]

( uchiha sasuke. how do i even begin to describe uchiha sasuke.

uchiha sasuke is that kid. you know, that one kid that everyone in the school seems to have a crush on despite the fact that he's a huge and unfriendly dick. he straight up doesn't talk to people and sits in the back of the class and eats lunch alone but no one seems to get the hint that he might want to be alone. always.

he's also the central figure in the story of one of konoha's most terrible tragedies; namely that his brother, itachi, murdered his entire family and ran off with an international criminal gang called akatsuki. now, i'm not saying that they're like the yakuza -- yeah, they're totally like the yakuza. but more badass. which is why all the swooning fangirls seem to insist that he's just misunderstood when referring to his aloof nature -- see, he's dark! he's got a dark past. he just needs someone to love him and warm his cold, broken heart.

sasuke lives alone, because apparently child services is not a thing in this world, just like in the original universe. which means that there's no one waiting up for him, which means that it's totally okay that he's leaving school after kendo practice way later than any of the other kids, because there's no one to scold him.

he stashes his kendo equipment in his locker and takes up his bookbag, hoisting it onto his shoulders when the door behind him opens. pink hair. sakura. they're in karate together, but he's never actually talked to her. curiosity satisfied, sasuke turns to walk away without even saying hello. because he's a dick like that. )

Jeane | No More Heroes

[begetsvengeance]

[That one athletic girl girl on just about every sports team and club there is, including karate. Keeps to herself more often than not, but she's not shy at all if you wanna talk to her. Also totally a closet nerd.]

Alex Louis Armstrong | Fullmetal Alchemist

[amajorham]

[As the school's gym teacher and football coach Armstrong takes his job very seriously. He does whatever it takes to INSPIRE his students to do well.

...also he kinda has trouble keeping his shirts on. Little too much flexing and riiiiiiip.]

8 and i swear i did roll and got this lmfao

[usskickass]

[Beiste is his Assistant and, at times, Extra Shirt Manager. At the moment, she's helping him into the third of the day.]

No offense, Mr. Armstrong, but ain't this getting a little outta hand? After all the complaints at the last game, I would've thought you'd buy bigger shirts, at least...

Viola Cadaverini | Ace Attorney

[hee_hee_hee]

[Know how they say cafeteria food sucks? That's totally not the case when it comes to this lunch lady. Only problem is that she's so creepy most people assume she puts something in the food. Hopefully not poison.

Also rumored to have family members in the mafia, though this might not be accurate.]

[badtothe]

[Is it wrong to have a favourite lunch lady? Because Bone Cold totally has one. It's not the food- he barely ever eats- so much as the fact that her service comes with a smile he'd be proud to call his own. He can admire anyone who, with a single spooky giggle, can put half the student populace off their food.

He rolls on up with a tray and a wave so cheerful and overly familiar as to be self-parody, not even bothering to order anything.] Afternoon, Vi. [That's probably going to land him a fork in the eye one day.] What's the special today?

Bolin « Legend of Korra

[gotsomemoves]

[Despite having a pretty tough past, Bolin is an all around nice and well-liked guy. He's put life on the streets behind him in favor of working his way up to being a star player on the soccer team. And maybe if he put as much effort into school as he did into sports, his grades might get the improvement that they need.]

Re: Bolin « Legend of Korra

[eyespied]

[And here is your tutor, sir. He's one of the poorer students like yourself, living without parents with two other children who are not his siblings at all. Of that trio, it's this one that's always seen hard at work. At the school concession stand during lunch he sells sodas and candy, he delivers papers before school, and now after school he's tutoring]

Bolin, you missed tutoring yesterday.

Minato Arisato // Persona 3

[arcanaeum]

( Quiet and thoughtful. Surprisingly good grades considering how much he sleeps in class. Attends the track team, photography club, and student council. Has a black hole for a stomach.

Minato's a pretty normal kid, alright! )

James T Kirk | Star Trek Reboot

[lovesthechair]

nine.

[tfu]

[ sorry ladies. even if jim kirk and scotty are both devastatingly handsome and brilliant, they, unfortunately, cannot handle baking a cake. as evident by the black plumes of smoke coming from their oven right now. even scotty, who's seen his fair amount of smoke, fire, and explosions, doesn't know what to do right now. so, he tosses the oven mitts to jim, then places a finger to his nose (thereby relieving him of all cake duty of course). ]

Not it.

Avery | OC

[imnotagirl]

[ the kid that stays away from everyone in order to hide his actual gender. he also ditches. a lot. ]

Shinji Ikari | Neon Genesis Evangelion

[hharinezumi]

Harry Dresden | The Dresden Files

[no_love_potions]

[OOC: Two options!

First: Teenage Harry. A kid growing up in the foster care system after his father died when he was six. Not easy to make friends with but his heart's in the right place. Tons of authority problems so he doesn't have many fans among faculty, he doesn't get very good grades but clearly isn't trying as hard as he could. Hates bullies and isn't afraid to throw the first punch whether he's the victim or somebody else is, scrappy as hell and isn't afraid to take a beating.

Second: Faculty Harry. Probably English, theater or some other artsy class as a teacher. He might also work as a guidance counselor spending time with troubled kids thanks to his background.

Your choice!]

Re: Harry Dresden | The Dresden Files

[liarliarliar]

[Guidance counselor, huh? What a tough job. Today you've been sent one Kano Shuuya due to a fight last week. He and the other student had both been suspended for a week but upon his return you get this kid for a talk. Apparently, he's 'troubled.' He's been written up for sass several times and has been in a couple of smaller fights before.

He doesn't live with a guardian, instead living with two other children who like him had once been adopted by a family. After that family's daughter committed suicide--off the roof of this very school, in fact--the three children left that home to live alone.]

Going to teach this troubled child why it's terrible to get into fights, sir? It's a good idea, the week off was quite the reward.

Seto Kousuke | Kagerou Project

[eyespied]

[Seto Kousuke is a poorer student, living without a guardian with two other teenagers. He spends a lot of time doing part time jobs but is still always able to be a friendly presence in the school]

15

[its_not_fiction]

[Mamoru had agreed to be Seto's tutor since he was supposed to be an adult and 'wanted' to be seen as one.

He didn't show much interest in other students and often studied, so other kids called him boring and ignored him. Yet when ever there was an important test he suddenly became everyone's best friend. Typical.

Mamoru stayed after school in the library waiting for Seto. Hopefully the other boy wasn't going to be a flake.]

Owain | Fire Emblem: Awakening

[twitchyswordhand]

[You guys know that one nerd who's into really into dorky shit, RPs online, LARPs once or twice or...more often than that, is destined to join the anime club the second he gets into college, has a webcomic, will at some point get the Mark of the Exalt as a tattoo because he thinks it looks cool, and is just a nerd?

Yeah.

Also tends to, when he ditches classes (because who doesn't once or twice?) come back with REALLY. WEIRD. stories which...may or may not be true.]

5 looks good.

[tolight]

[ Because really - who doesn't love lunch? On top of that, the weather's really nice, which means eating outside is an option for them. She prefers the grass over the crowded cafeteria anyway.

So Lucina decides to text Owain for an invitation to do just that, then walking right after class is over to find a really nice spot under the tree. Perfect. She's rummaging around her bag to grab her lunch, setting in on the grass in front of her and waiting for her cousin to show up.

When she spots the blond hair not too far from where she's sitting, she waves, trying to catch his attention. ] Owain!

Brigitte Fitzgerald | Ginger Snaps

[search_and_destroy]

[Brigitte is that girl at the back of the class room or tucked away in a corner of the library that is the poster girl for "it's always the quiet ones". She skipped a grade and she gets straight A's but she doesn't talk to anyone and dresses in layers and layers of clothing even in the warmer seasons. They say her family moved after her sister committed suicide but it's all rumors, nothing's been confirmed. Brigitte is certainly morbid enough though, which only fuels the rumors.]

yue katou → angel sanctuary

[adjunctly]

[ oooooookay um drug dealing, foul mouthed senior that’s in a gang, breaks all the pretty girls’ hearts, molests the juniors and bullies you because it’s f u n. have at it, folks, it's canon! o7 ]

6

[moarcowbell]

[ Hey Yue, Sup? Haru came looking for him because of teacher's orders. Normally he wouldn't bother, but at least it got him out of class now too. He found one of Yue's favorite places to sneak off too and poked his head around. ]

Atticus O'Sullivan | Iron Druid Chronicles

[wisdom_of_hounds]

[Atticus is that history teacher that actually makes the subject fun. Flipping tables over to build trenches in the classroom, balls of paper as bombs, visits from re-enactors, and more. His class is mostly lecture but it's still interesting because he's just that good at story telling. He also teaches the mythology class and is the fencing coach. He even helps out the drama students with stage fighting techniques and is probably the biggest and coolest nerd in the school.]

Bone Cold | Kinnikuman Nisei

[badtothe]

[Bone Cold is supposedly "troubled", but all you know is that he's a chain-smoking asshole with the gift of the gab. He's made at least three teachers cry, has been through more counselors than most people have pairs of socks and will gladly lay a hurt on anyone for the right price.

Also a huge attention-seeker. Of course.]

6

[facestealer]

[Every teacher here has more or less given up on trying to get Hanzou to shed the mask- after all, it's a miracle when they get him to turn up more than two days a week. Maybe it's no wonder then that, on those rare days that he decides to put in an appearance, they don't bother enforcing his class attendance either.

He's perched on the railings like some kind of oversized, hulking bird, waiting for Bone Cold to turn up. They haven't arranged anything but he's heard a rumour on the wind that he's got a new client lined up and no doubt he's eager to crow about it.

As usual.]

Robert Chase | House M.D. | OTA

[goodboysgood]

Reynard the Fox | original character based on folklore and fables

[smugfox]

[ooc: Posting him here for nostalgic reasons, the last high school AU was EPIC.

So, yeah, bully, bad boy, flirt, all you don't want your parents to see you with.]

5

[unicorfgmmfff]

[Sorry, were you enjoying your meal? Because suddenly, there's that feeling like someone's watching you. Someone from above.

Someone like the local weirdo, Toska, who is in his senior year and still manages to act like he's 7. At least he's somewhat gifted with making friends with bullies. Today he has somehow managed to get on top of the windowsill above where the tables fold out from, and is watching like a gargoyle.

...Is that a cosplay tail he's wearing.]

Hey. Hey psssssst. Reynard. [He can't really... whisper from this distance. So he's just talking normally and hoping people don't pay attention. Which they do anyway, because there's a kid 10 feet above ground.] Guess what I'm up to. C'mon. Guess.

Sirius Black | Harry Potter

[alwaysimpure]

[ooc: very popular jock type, rich and emotionally abusive family, bully tendencies, hell, it's pretty much canon just with less magic]

7

[io_non_ti_invidio]

[Oops, looks like you got landed in detention. Oh well, same old shit, just a different day.

Today, as soon as the teacher in charge goes off for a short break, this little bugger decides to climb up onto Sirius's desk. After carefully moving whatever he was working on, of course. Yup, it's Lovino Vargas, that one guy that's a dick to literally everyone except the pretty girls in class, and acts like the head of the school even though he's lower on the social scale than most of the nerds and gets bullied twice as hard as the worst of them.

One may or may not also be losing social status points just by being within five feet of him.]

Hey. What are you in for? Today, anyway?

Booker DeWitt | Bioshock Infinite

[thevariable]

[1 | Student
He's hard to get to know but those who are familiar with Booker know him for a few things. He gets the job done when he can, and violence is usually his last resort if he can't get something done the first time. Sent to the office a couple of times, he's passing with a B- average while science is his weak point. There's also a rumour that his girlfriend is pregnant, but no one can confirm or deny that, considering she hasn't been to class for the past year due to illness.

So maybe catch him in the library? That's where he's been spending most of his days, recently. If anyone knows why, good for them.

2 | Teacher
Stuck with a choice, DeWitt couldn't make up his mind and is not only the American History teacher, he's also in charge of the Anatomy class when enough students sign up for it. Helpful as much as he can be, he's rough on the students who try to get close, but prone to having those same people crawl under his skin. Great.

Something else | your choice
Have at it. Juvenile delinquents, visiting school, anything else? ]

teacher dewitt, first day

[violentrondo]

[This year, enough students have shown interest in the Anatomy class for Booker to actually be able to run it. One of them, unfortunately, happens to be a rather infamous face around the school. A delinquent known for getting into fights, and a frequent visitor to both the nurse's and the principal's office, he's not exactly spoken of highly among the staff, and now it looks like DeWitt's going to get first hand experience for himself.

Brady drops by the classroom early enough to snag a seat in the back before they're all taken up, book bag dumped on the floor next to his desk. He's slumped in the chair, feet propped on his desk as he waits for the class to start, flipping through what actually looks to be the class textbook to get a feel for what will be covered during the year. Despite his reputation around the school, he's pretty quiet and minding himself... for the moment, anyway.]

Penny Parker (Spider-man rule 63)

[super_spidering]

[Giant nerd, A student, president of the physics club, vice president of the photography club and by extension of that a member of the year book committee. Surprisingly agile as she used to do gymnastics.]

Setsuna F. Seiei | Gundam 00

[jesus_is_gundam]

[Hey, its that weirdly quiet foreign exchange kid, who is chilling off to the side by himself in the cafeteria. Perhaps you should finally go up and say hi?]

Fionna | Adventure Time

[heroineofooo]

[That chick that seems to be on all the sports teams. Average student who absolutely hates bullies.]

8. p.e. because why not

[scronk]

Fionna!! ((Harry "Gumball" Harris, an old friend of Fionna's, vice-captain of the cheerleaders, and president of school counsil, hurries across the gym floor to the girls side of the court, waving to her with glee. It being free day, it was the only time the teacher didn't nag him for always bothering the ladies. (Excuse him if he'd prefer the class wasn't divided, goodness!!) He holds up two rackets and a birdy.)) I hope one-on-one badmitten suits your fancy today. Marshall was unruly with persistence to have the other set! ((A lollipop hangs from his mouth as he speaks, relatively typical of him. He did love his sweets, and consequently rather liked his bestowed nickname.))

Harry Potter | Rule 63

[girlwhowontdie]

[That kid who does her best to fly under the radar but for one reason or another utterly fails at it. Possibly because she's one of the track team's star runners.]

[deusexhormones]

[Several days ago, Haruki Suzumiya saw something he wanted to couldn't believe. Namely, he saw Harry Potter vanish into thin air. ...Okay so it might have nay, probably was some sort of trick of the light and/or her merging into a crowd, but the most time has passed since the incident, the more time Haruki has become convinced that the girl either turned invisible or teleported, something that his "investigations" have "proved" what with her star abilities on the track team despite and over all lack of general popularity.

...Well and her track times.

...And some residue he found on the floor he's fairly convinced are nanobots or maybe he's just that bored. As such, brimming with conspiracy theories, the tall and well known weirdo that is Haruki makes to try to literally corner Harry Potter the next chance he get to prove his theories]

sansa stark / alayne stone ( a song of ice and fire )

[sorrowed]

i. sansa: is a freshman, the kind you can easily spot in the halls because they always look a little lost. she comes from a rich family, which makes her sometimes unwittingly snobby. a "girly-girl" who is obssessed with teen romance novels and those magazine articles who teach you how to dress your hair to get boys to like you ( though she only has eyes for joffrey )

ii. alayne: she's the quiet girl at the back of the class, always polite but ultimately mysterious. nobody really knows anything about her, except for the fact that her father is petyr baelish, a local councillor for the city.
