Inside Innocence Exposed
a troubled teens/city-life rpg

This post is for those of you who have ventured onto this rpg, but have no clue what we're playing here. I'll attempt to explain. The setting of this RPG is the school of Mount Horizon (located in Agnes, Canada; close to the American border), which is a boot-camp type of school for troubled teens. When the RPG was created four years ago, we took the premise from a show by the name of "Higher Ground," a once-popular teen drama starring Hayden Christensen. Over the years, the RPG has taken on a life of its own, and though we still use the platform of the school for troubled teens, we have expanded and developed the site to include so much more. The town of Agnes, for example, has become the home base of an underground crime-ring. There's guilty fun to be had all around in this controversial little town of Agnes, whether you're engaging in the city-life or boarding school atmospheres of the rp.


SITE STATS:

The board's been up and running for almost four years now (the first site, Healing Waters, ran for two years, and this continuation site has been running for almost the same amount of time). We curently have over 100 different characters on the board, and it's always active, with 10-12 people usually on throughout the night on many occasions. This RPG is like an online home to many of its devoted, long-time members, and we don't plan on leaving anytime soon. And unlike most high school RPGs, this one can be at a comfortable yet active pace; it's definitely not rush-rush nor dead at any time.


ABOUT HORIZON / AGNES:

Mount Horizon is located quite a bit away from the rest of civilization - the nearest town being that of Agnes, where the counselors of Horizon and a diverse assortment of locals reside (residents ranging from criminals to humble townies). The town of Agnes, much like Horizon, is surrounded by a seemingly endless vast of forest and mountains; it's a seemingly small (shady) town, though the buzz of city life also has its own place on the board.

The students enrolled at Horizon deal with issues such as:

• Drug Abuse
• Sexual Abuse
• Verbal Abuse
• Self-Injury
• Eating Disorders
• Neglect
• Abandonment
• Depression
• Etc.

Also at Horizon, teens are placed in one of many "student groups." Each group has two-three counselors who run it, who are always made available for their students to turn to. Also, group outtings or group meetings may be held, but not routinely. Each student group has their own cabins, for boys and girls respectively, though outside of the cabins, all the students intermingle despite their placing.


NOTES:

It is only required to have read the rules and guidelines to place an application on the board. You will only be able to post once your account is validated (unless you are advertising; we are guest-friendly).

Annually, during the summer months, we hold an awards event for the site.
