Chimera Academy

In all honesty, I've seen this site a few times before reviewing, and almost joined at several times since October. That's not to say that there's anything wrong with the site, I just didn't have the time. Personal story aside, I really like Chimera Academy. Mythical creature RPs and academy settings aren't usually combined, and if done properly it'll work as shown in this beauty.

Here, we promise to do our very best to teach you the fine art of being imaginary. Well, imaginary to all those who are blind to our existence. We, as you may have already guessed, are the myths of this world - the boogie men and the monsters under your bed. - excerpt from Chimera Academy's advertisement.

Chimera Academy is a site with great organization and design, only lacking color. It seems active enough, and has lived for a few months, which means it's most likely worked out a few kinks between then and now. I believe this site should definitely have more members and activity.

  • Design - 7/10 Chimera Academy has some brilliant codes, and is laid out quite well. The only thing that bothers me is that the striped background and lack of color are rather disarming.
  • Rules - 10/10 Easy, straightforward. Love 'em.
  • Plot - 10/10 Original while using basic dynamics. That's hard to pull off, especially so well.
  • Members - 11/10 ((Not a typo.)) Staff did a baton-pass, which is wonderful. Surprisingly, many sites don't do that. Members seem close.
  • Overall - 9.5/10 Beautiful site. Gotta love it. Deserves more than it's been given thus far. Change that for me please.
