Columbia 1968
-Statistics- Staff Pax Trafalgar Season: Autumn 1967 Weather: New York is experiencing very pleasant weather at the moment: the harsh bite of winter has yet to sweep down on the city, and so far sunny skies with the odd wispy cloud and a crisp fall breeze are the current norm, which is appreciated by both students and teachers alike.	-Plot- Columbia 1968 A 1968 RPG For decades, Columbia University has prided itself for its high standards and Ivy League standing. It has been the home of the best and the brightest, the A students, the great athletes, the legends who will go on to be great assets to society or even come back to teach at this prestigious place. But now, it adds another group to the list of what its students have become – the revolutionaries. It is 1968, and the Vietnam War is raging. Students at Columbia are protected from the draft by their college deferments, but this will not last forever and the civil rights and anti-war movements going on around them are inspiring these privileged Ivy League students to question authority and find their voice. For the first time in a long time, the youth are taking matters into their own hands, thinking for themselves, and speaking up, and now they find themselves fighting desperately to keep those rights. Columbia has become a dangerous place. Students begin skipping classes to attend almost-daily protests and demonstrations, local police are on edge and often violent, members of the staff are trying anything they can think of to redirect their pupils, and various student organisations are emerging, some with very different sets of ideals. The revolutionary culture of art, intellectualism, drugs, and music has swept Columbia up, and now the school is heading towards an inevitable explosion propelled by the unstoppable passing of time...

Hullo, All!

Hi there, everyone. My name's Emma, and I play Pax Trafalgar, as you can see. (If it's less confusing, just call me Pax.

Maybe I shouldn't have said anything...) Heh.

I'm fifteen and have been roleplaying for four years, although I've been on hiatus for the past year - this is my first RP in a while, although I've been the admin of over twenty. (o.O). I made this site because at present, I'm quite interested in the 1960s, particularly what went on in Columbia in '68, as you can see. I'm also a rabid - rabid, honest - Beatles fan, yeah, the kind that knows all the trivia and lyrics...that's me.

Cheers. British Invasion music in general is the love of my life - The Who, The Stones, etc.

In addition to playing drums, I'm a voracious writer, reader, a rather vicious but effective coxswain on the crew team, a general history nerd, film connoisseur, a very liberal Buddhist pacifist type, a Monty Python fan, etc., etc. Anyhow, I love meeting new people and can't wait to see some more members jump on the bandwagon!

Cheers, luvs!
