Claims Comment Thread
Here at Starlight Academy, we like to keep things organized both to help locate things faster and to better facilitate plotting. There are three general categories in Starlight Academy: Students, Staff, and Citizens. Please do the appropriate claims for what your characters have.
For additions, corrections, and removals on our list, please comment on this thread.
Students
Students are basically anyone studying at the school, from Preschools to Post-Grad students. As long as someone is taking classes in Starlight, whether it’s just in their free time, they’re learning a trade, or getting a certificate, they’d be categorized as a Student above anything else. The only exception to this would be students of Police Academy. As it stands, Police Academy is not part of Starlight Academy, so they would be on the citizens under Law Enforcement.
Starlight Academy follows the American K-12 Grading System. If you’re unsure what grade to put your character in, check this page. They won’t necessarily have to adhere to that, so you’re free to put whatever grade you want for them. We don’t automatically advance character grades in case the player would prefer them to stay static, so please make sure to update your student’s grade every new school year. The new semester always begins on September!
Starlight Academy has a preschool and a daycare. People with younger characters should consider putting their children as Students rather than citizens. Older characters that haven’t been exposed to civilization don’t necessarily have to put their characters to preschool, though bear in mind they would be required to take remedial classes that would cut into their free time.
If your character sheet does not have a specific grade assigned to it, we will categorize your character according to their age. College and graduate aged students without majors will be listed as undecided. For the sake of time, if any of this information is mentioned in your character's history section but not the general information section at the top of the template, please edit in it.

Use this template to add your student character:
Code:
[b]Name:[/b] [url=LINK TO CHARACTER]Character Name[/url]
[b]Grade:[/b] Preschool/Kindergarten/1st-12th/College Freshman-Senior/Master’s/Doctorate
[b]Major:[/b] For College and Post-grad studentsStaff
Staff members are characters that help run the school. This isn’t restricted solely to teachers. Gardeners, scouts, security, counselors, janitors, school doctors, and other such positions are part of the school staff. Virtually any position in the school, even Department Heads, except for Headmistress is up for grabs.
A character can be a student or have a job outside of the school while still being staff. If they’re a student, they will be put in the Student category while still being Staff. Such examples of this would be interns, student teachers, or even teachers that are teaching while working on their post-grad work. If they have a job outside, they will be put in the Staff category.
Staff in Starlight Academy are closely monitored and expected to be professional. Not to say your staff member can’t do bad things, but if they do, there’ll be repercussions if what they did is ever released to public knowledge.
If there isn’t a specific staff member on the list, always assume there are NPCs taking on their work. Starlight Academy is never short on staff.

Citizens are characters that aren’t Staff or Students, meaning they’re outside Starlight Academy altogether. Characters may be taken to Manta Carlos for their powers and also not have to apply to the Academy especially if they’re done with their schooling, though they are required to take seminars on how the island functions. While Manta Carlos has decent welfare, citizens would not be able to get by on that alone, so they are recommended to take on jobs.
Manta Carlos has a huge and diverse community, so they can do any job imaginable, from fantastical jobs like potion-makers to more sci-fi leaning stuff like space ship pilot. Most public services jobs require mandatory schooling first. Those at the hospital need to be certified MDs and those in law enforcement need to have two years of Police Academy. Players are allowed to have characters in political positions, though Minister is the highest they’re allowed to be.
Making businesses is, in fact, encouraged in Manta Carlos! When making a business, comment on this thread with the appropriate form and post them in the Businesses and Organizations forum. We generally don’t need to accept the businesses, so go ahead and post them in there. If we find a problem with your particular business, we will let you know. As a general rule, public services like law enforcement pages should only be handled by mods, but everything private is fair game. Also, don’t assume that your business is the only or biggest service in Manta Carlos, though you’re free to assume popularity.
We’ve added “crime” as a category in the Business and Public Services list just in case players want to plot with criminals, such as gangs, mercenaries, fences, and forgery work. Most criminals and criminal business are usually located at the Underground or the Strip posing as legal businesses. Overt crime is very much not allowed in Manta Carlos.
