[center] The year is 2066.

It's been twenty years since the two adjacent, yet unforeseen worlds, Lucis and Earth, finally contacted each other.

On a single fateful day, the very fabrication of the universe and time, collapsed. This, in turn, opened a massive wormhole right over the South American continent. Originally viewed by Earthlings to be a hostile creation, it was soon shown to be a gateway to another world -- "Lucis". Described as a strange world built upon the concepts of magic and alchemy, it is an entrance into an entirely different reality. 

Earth, a world simple yet complex, has found comfort in technology. While tomes may be near unreadable by an Earthling, a Lucisean would be more than likely to get lost while handling a cellphone from the 2010 era. 

Though the two world have many differences, they have lived in relevant peace for the past twenty years.

The rift -- now nicknamed "The Black Gale" -- is an entirely wild realm with little knowledge about it. With limitations set-up in order to safeguard travel and communication, the two worlds are easily able to access each other. This is made entirely possible by "combat schools" which are created in order to prevent monsters from The Black Gale from attacking either worlds. 

People who attend these combat schools are anywhere between the ages of fifteen to twenty. Like most schools, Arcane Artes is a school that recruits at age fifteen and keeps students for five years (similiar to Hogwarts, there will be first/second/third/fourth/final year students, you are free to play as [u][i]any[/i][/u] year, a prodigy or otherwise and similiar to that, there are summer breaks for each school-year in which the students are allowed to return home). Students who attend these schools are trained, partnered and eventually graduate to become seasoned warriors and heroes known as "Gatekeepers".

Students receive a letter exactly one month prior to attending. Each year, on the international holiday that celebrates peace between Lucis and Earth, new students leave home to start their first day at school. As to how students are picked are unknown, but they posses some sort of skill with magic, alchemy, weapons, technology or otherwise. Although it is optional to attend the school, it's very rare for a student to turn down a letter due to abusive environment, desire for change or a thirst for adventure. You happen to be playing as one of the students attending this academy in particular.

A variety of classes, weapons and races will be introduced. I'm not putting a limitation on anything, really, however, I'll be closely moderating what characters I accept in order to prevent Mary-Sues and Gary-Stus.

A lot of this is still in the works and I've recruited my usual Roleplay partner (Grey) to co-GM with me. This Roleplay has been launched before on various sites and is generally a success. I have no intentions on letting this die early on and it will be treated differently than most Supernatural "academy" Roleplays, since it's more of a slice of life, mixed with adventure and so on.

While there will be a plot present, I heavily expect character development and people to make their own substories to add onto the main plot (without hogging it, that is).

This will be High-Free, but still very relaxed, like my usual Roleplays.

Ask questions, offer suggestions, etc.

Overall, there's more to come!
