when you've read all of the rules, come here. you need to pick one of the secrets on the "canon list" (no preset faces) for your character and then fill out the application. it's a new and unique type of application - it's kind of fun, actually, no long, strenuous writing. the sub-boards of denied and accepted characters are located here as well.

Sub-boards: THE ACCEPTED FILES., THE DENIED FILES.

the fastest form of communication: click a name on your buddy list, type, press enter...and voila! communication anywhere on earth. some kids get it through their laptops and some through computers that sit on their desks, but they are all mutually connected through instant messenger.

another universal communication: myspace! we've all got one. you can be an adult, a teen, or anyone else, this is free for anyone. around here we keep our profiles private to friends, though, because open profiles are for unsafe losers!

need to send an e-mail to a family member or a friend? type in their e-mail address, plug in your message, and wait for that little "e-mail sent" noise that is so often sounded. it's not too hard, just not as quick.

if you need to dial someone up, come here. wait for the beep, drop a call, set a ringtone, send a text message, anonymous call, leave vital information, or set up a date - celluar phones are simply the perfect way to talk to someone just like they were in front of you...unless they don't pick up.

much like the above place, but less central. it also has a large fountain, but it's full of rubbish. the water's kind of dirty, but the first sight is pretty amazing. another beautiful aspect is that sometimes there are large platforms that shoot out water like a different form of fountain.

this is the local train station. there's an internet cafe and a bunch of other small shops within this train station. need to escape? take the tgv.

right on the place de terreaux. full of all kinds of art, current exhibit changing frequently. it's a relaxing, quiet environment.

the central lane for everything! you'll find a variety of shops - mainly cafés and clothing shops (along with monoprix.) there are people bustling about the streets and there's nearly never a moment when anything is quiet. there is usually a marching band playing famous tunes or some kind of event. there is also a fountain that sinks about a foot into the ground with water shooting out in a long row on either side. rue de la république has nearly everything.

basically the exactly same thing with extra crazy birds and minus the fountain. there are more jewelry and clothing shops, however, and the content is sometimes less or more pricey: always one or the other.

this is the highest point in lyon. after going up the funicular you can either walk up the side of the mountain or go all of the way up and then you can see virtually all of the city! there are red roofed buildings, rivers and even a huge ferris wheel to look at. it's quite serene. it can be a lover's point, a place of serenity, a place to rest, or even a field trip for little kids. overall, it's just really beautiful. plus, there's a little café for you to buy a little something from or you can sit at the benches.

the funicular takes people from the bottom of the city (in the old city) to the top of the mountain. it is a railroad cart-esque ride that is pulled by a cable up the side. once it stops you can just jump off and go. it takes around five or ten minutes to get up, but sometimes you can get stuck waiting for the next funicular for at least twenty minutes. some people might just sit around on the down hill slant.

probably the coldest place in lyon, but only because of the naturally cold conditions of a church. it's quiet and you can just go and sit or be crazy little kids. maybe you need to have an important conversation and you need some peace to sit in? well, this church is the place. it's beautifully structured with a golden, huge statue on top.

the rhône and saône are the two main rivers that run through lyon. they are, however, located on the two opposite sides of the city. on the other side of the saône is the "old city." on the edge of the rhône? a public swimming pool.

the internation museum of miniatures - a full museum with a large courtyard that winds up stone stairs. there is a basement filled with wax characters from "la parfum" and as you move up you see things made in the very museum by one man who stays in his studio to work endlessly on the small, finely detailed pieces of artwork.

it's a free park, but with animals! about a fifteen minute subway ride away from the center of lyon, this is a great place to go with friends. there's giraffes, monkeys, deer, goats, elephants, zebras, tigers...so many great things to see! there are also expansive greens and a large, blue lake with access to boats.

probably the only irish pub ever in lyon, let alone france. johnny walsh's pub is run by a french man and all of the servers are french. it's that similar environment, though - crazy drunks, cooky young teenagers, but you'll find a lot more respect and responsible people here. it's the perfect place for a night out on the town.

a night club open from ten pm to five am. lots of drinks and hardly any admission fee, this is the place to be! there's rooms to be bought and beating music to dance to. there's probably some illegal stuff going on, but if security (the one's who actually will kick you out for that kind of thing) finds you...well, tsk tsk.

the university and international ombrosa highschool are two of the finest institutes around. they cater to both french, american, british, and other country's young students and prepare you to get your life on the road.

lyon (and the rest of france) is abundant with cafés! they sell pasteries/etc and are always ready to make a cup of coffee (un café) or a hot chocolate (un chocolat chaud) at any time. it's easy to only pay a few euros and take a sit down in one of the quaint, small cafés of lyon.

literally "the south." on top of having typical, traditional french cuisine, this fancy restaurant has many southern foods (north african and south french). the food is generally all quite delicious.

this board is the location of any shops on rue république you would like to roleplay in - shops where you can grab a café (coffee), buy some shoes, a few shirts, or maybe just loiter around inside of one.

virtually the same description as that of the rue république shops, but this is rue victor hugo! there are a few food shops and a lot of discount, pretty plastic jewelry places. a few high class shops rim the streets as well. it is very easy to spend many euros here, just like on rue république.

when you see the little green flashing plus sign, you know what you've found - a pharmacie! pharmacists, like doctors, can prescribe you what you need to be taking if you just walk into the store. they're quaint little shops, but they kind of smell like hand sanitizer. it's super sterile.
