LARP

It's time for the Kansakaku High School Cultural Festival, and time is running out - just one day 'till showtime!

The juniors especially are excited. One class has chosen a miko theme, using the town's history as the basis for their shrine. They may be the only class in school offering beautiful girls and divine protection!

Another class is hosting a martial arts tournament - many martial arts champions attend the school, so it promises to be quite the battle!

And much to the other classes' chagrin, one class - overrun by Gundam fanatics - is creating a giant, working mecha, right on school grounds!

Which class will win the hearts of the visitors? And why are teachers taking bets on which class is more likely to destroy the world?

Come and participate all day as a student of the school, or participate for just half an hour as an in-character visitor (no pre-registration necessary for visitors).

All characters will be original. (Luffy will not be lurking around any corners.) You can pre-register your character by completing the survey below to and e-mailing it to larp@animeusa.org.

Register early! The sooner your register, the more likely your character will be just how you'd like it. (Character traits are not guaranteed, but all reasonable attempts will be made to include the character you desire.)

Pre-registered participants will receive a full character profile, including what class they are in and what props/costumes may add to the character. (Hopefully that will make packing for the con easier, rather than harder!)
