This is the second most important section of our site. If you are reading this you must have already read through all of the sites rules, plot, and extra information. In this board you will find any and all announcements regarding our site. All plot arcs will be put here as well as any contests. We also hope you will look forward to our awards that we will hold every month. Make sure to vote for the people that you think should win the awards!

AWAKENED and its staff welcome all guests to this board here. Perhaps you were looking through our rules and plot and found something that you didn't understand? We ask that you first take a look at our FAQ that is located in additional information before coming to this board. If your question isn't answered there please feel free to post in this board. The staff will happily look at any questions or suggestions that you may have we just ask that you be patient. The staff do have lives outside of AWAKENED that they have to take care of. This board is also guest friendly for anyone who wishes to post here.

With an active site comes active threads and posts. This is where all the finished or dead posts and threads will be placed. Due to the problems with work being stolen this board may only be seen by registered members. If you have a post or a thread that was moved here on accident please don't fret. Just message one of the staff and we will happily move it back to where it should be. In the same token we ask that you pm a staff member when your thread is complete so we can move it to this board accordingly.

Once your characters are accepted by the staff, that means that they're ready to be used. All of their applications will be moved to this board, into their appropriate sub-board. They will be arranged by gender. So all males will go into the males board, and all females will go into the females board. Yes, this will include those potential trap characters as well. They will be moved into the board of their real gender. They may fool the characters with their looks but they cannot fool us! This means you Nadeshiko!

Sub-boards: Females, Males

Well we all know how important this section is. After all, your character does have a face. Or so I would hope. If they don't have a face we have a very serious problem on our hands I would have to say. They may want to go see a doctor about that. If they do have a face though, make sure you come here to claim it. We don't want any face thieves do we? No? That's what I thought. Here you can also claim things like canons. That's quite important too.

Plot pages are very important things. They allow us to do more with our characters. There's the main plot of course, but you know, mini-plots between characters are equally important. They drive the site. They may even help further the plot or even begin to change and add to it. Who knows? Well, you won't. Not unless you start plotting with people in this board! So grab a pretty little plot template and come post in here and make your own! Plot with the others in this board too!

Let's hope you're only here for the nurse's office and not for disciplinary actions. Students who have misbehaved are sent here for detention and punishment for whatever they've done, mostly being assigned extra work or chores around the classroom. The nurse's office is just to the right and there's plenty of cots to spare if you want to catch a quick nap. It's somewhat of a doctor's office, smelling like alcohol. Just make sure you never get invited to the chairman's office, or at least you better hope it's for a good reason and not a bad one.

The smell of books, paper, and chalk isn't unusual in the classrooms. Here students get to learn a variety of subjects taught by the most accredited of teachers. From mathematics to geology, the classrooms are fully equipped with with the latest edition for textbooks and class materials needed to provide a first class education. There are about twenty students per class and that's plenty to keep the teachers busy. Try not to get to class late! Some teachers might keep you in the hallway if you are.

Seiyu Academy is proud of their winning soccer team and created this field for their home players to practice and use for their games. Spacious and open, it has been marked out there are metal bleachers on either side of the field for spectators or mingling students to use. Often enough, there's usually a few students practicing or kicking the ball around for fun. The field is always open for students to play on, so long as they mind not to ruin the lines or nets.

Hidden within a wonderful greenhouse filled with a variety of flowers is the Royal Garden where Seiyo Academy's Guardians reside. Students are strictly forbidden from entering the Guardian's meeting place unless personally invited. There are three paths (the front courtyard, planetarium, and classrooms) that lead to the greenhouse and eventually the Royal Garden. As you walk down either path and through the doors, you'll see that a gazebo rests within the center where the paths merge. Here a table and several chairs surrounding it, where you'll see the Guardian discussing important matters for their ears only.

With a lot more students, the administrative staff have a lot more offices for disciplinary actions. High school students do tend to be a bit more troublesome than those at the Academy. Once entering the main office room, the place is divided into smaller rooms. The counselors help students plan their courses and provide emotional support. A few are for disciplinary purposes, such as detention, but the largest goes to the Chairman and the Nurse's office. Those that are sick and injured are well taken care, but if you just want to nap for a while, go ahead and steal a cot. No one's going to notice.

First thing in the morning and the students are already frantic trying to get to their classes on time and finishing up homework they have been procrastinating on. The classrooms here are no different than the ones in Seiyo Academy, just a bit bigger for the students here. Classes are taught by professors and there are lockers in the hallways for students to use. Try to pay attention in class and not day dream too much, you wouldn't want to fall behind in your studies.

The main building that 'the fate' reside in. Despite being called the holding center the members of the fate and the director himself have rooms and live inside this building. The main reason for its name is from the holding center they have underneath the building. While it doesn't happen often any prisoners that 'the fate' obtain are put here in cell like rooms deep underneath the ground where there is no service and very little little other than the few lanterns kept there so the guards can see their way around. Otherwise these cells are always kept in the dark.

There are several parks located in the city. Two of them have huge playgrounds for any children that wish to play on them. They also have bike and walking trails for older people to enjoy the park as well. The third park is made up of mostly trails and a flower garden and a gazebo with a bench to overlook all of the flowers and even the trail that leads to it. The park is opened from 7 am till dusk thought it is sometimes open later if the park is holding special events, such as concerts.

This district is known as the hottest spot in the city. Everyone who is anyone comes here to hang out. There are dozens of restaurants and shopping centers. The biggest one of the district is the shopping mall that has 4 stories worth of stores. This district is also always hiring so any teenagers that are looking to gain some extra cash should apply at one of these shops for a weekend job. Maybe there will be some discounts where you work as a bonus.

Ah yes the mall, full of many shopping centers. This is where both elementary and high schools come to enjoy themselves. For some students its easier to do homework and study here but most come for the shopping. Open seven days a week its the perfect place to spend your free time and for some to even skip school. Each store changes its items depending on the holiday and during winter time a huge tree will be on display with all kinds of lights and decorations. The mall will sometimes hold bands on the weekends for a cheap or free concert that people can come and enjoy.

This amusement park was slated for demolition fifty years ago, but amu hinamori stopped it from being destroyed. This park holds many memories for her as this was the first place that Ikuto brought her and where she rode in the tea cups. The property is owned by the Hinamori family and some weekends the park is reopened so other lost children can come and enjoy themselves. Some dark nights people say they can see someone's shadow walking around the park. Many believe its Ikuto's spirit since many believe that the cat no longer lives.

This is where all of our lovely members can get together and discuss whatever they would like. Maybe you have some questions about shugo chara the anime or manga. Maybe you want to put up something about who everyone's favorite shipping is or favorite characters. This is also where you can come introduce yourself or let us know if your going to be leaving for a bit. Don't want you being deleted now do we?
