The Synopsis
Where Campus Life Gets Real
Columtreal University isn’t just a school — it’s a proving ground.
Set in the heart of Black Bottom Parish, Columtreal is where ambition, rivalry, and reinvention collide. Students come for the degree, but stay for the legacy — chasing status through Greek life, athletics, campus jobs, and late-night chaos that never makes it into the brochures.
From the towering pillars of fraternity row to the shadows behind the student union, every corner of the campus holds an opportunity — or a consequence.
Pledge loyalty. Earn credit. Get noticed.
Fraternities, sororities, and student clubs open the door to instant drama, social status, and deeper storylines. Professors host live classes where academic performance can actually shape your character’s progression. Campus-wide events, athletic rivalries, and whispers of secret societies make Columtreal feel alive — a place where everyone’s watching, and every action adds to your legend.
And beyond the gates? The rest of Hathian waits — a sprawling world of crime, power, and opportunity just a teleport away.
Whether you’re here to stir things up, play it straight, or build your character’s reputation one class or conflict at a time…
Columtreal is your fresh start — if you can survive it.

Community First. Story Always.
- Be Respectful: We’re a collaborative story-first community. Keep the OOC vibes kind.

- Guns Are Restricted: Only players with Armed status (via the Story HUD) may use firearms.
- Vehicles Require Permits: Clean up after yourself. Don’t leave cars rezzed.
- Human Avatars Only: Domestic pets allowed with animesh. No horses or fantasy species.
Campus Roleplay Highlights
- Join Greek Life or a Sports Team Instantly: No waiting. Frats, sororities, cheer squads, and clubs are open to new faces daily.
- Attend or Teach Classes: Faculty-led academic roleplay offers real-time scenes and HUD-registered progress for students.
- Expand Beyond the Campus: Cross into Hathian, the Backwaters, or Port Laveau — your story doesn’t end at the quad.

❌ Bad Example: Powergaming
/me dodges every punch and lands a perfect roundhouse kick, knocking the other student unconscious in one hit.
✅ Good Example: Fair Conflict
/me stumbles back as the punch grazes his cheek. Shaking it off, he lunges forward, aiming a desperate swing at the other student’s ribs.
❌ Bad Example: Multiple Posts
/me grabs her phone. /me walks into the hallway. /me glares at the professor and speaks. "You're late."
✅ Good Example: Single, Combined Post
/me grabs her phone, slipping it into her back pocket as she heads into the hallway. Spotting the professor, she narrows her eyes and mutters, "You're late."
❌ Bad Example: First Person Writing
/me nods and says, "I really don’t think you get me. I’m not like the others."
✅ Good Example: Third Person Writing
/me nods slowly, his tone low. "You don’t get it," he said, eyes fixed. "He’s not like the others."
