This place is known as Silverspell University. It is the place where supernatural beings go to learn the final stages of control of their before they being their adult lives. Humans also attend the University though they are few and far between. The school also serves as a place of sanctuary to those newly inducted into the supernatural world, this mostly serves newly created vampires or humans who had unwittingly stumbled into a world they never knew existed. Some of the students here are from powerful supernatural bloodlines, others are here seeking asylum from persecuters, others still are students on scholarship or that have been taken into the custody of the university. The university also serves as the home of the Council, the governing body of the supernatural. This is partially the reason its location is such a closely guarded secret. The university can only be reached by a vortex portal constructed along the ley lines of the Earth. Thus there are many points from which to reach the university all the while keeping its location a secret. Each student is given an advisor of sorts in a familiar. Gaining a familiar is how each student learns to travel through the ley line portals and get to the university in the first place. Familiars are creatures of unknown origin, they remain with the students through the duration of their stay at the university. They come in many shapes and forms, always animals, and act as a conduit for powers. They can communicate telepathically with their charge and help them navigate through university life and politics as well as helping them adapt to their new home. They are quite often the opposite of the student and yet somehow a perfect match. They teach the students control and how to use their powers and gifts in the most effective manner possible. [hr] The idea is that this will be centered around a University for the supernatural (not the Sam and Dean kind) as well as humans. It will mostly be about the characters free time that they spend in the co-ed dorms. I will assign roommates randomly via random.org just before the roleplay begins for the sake of fairness. If there is interest we can have some interaction during class time but for the most part, it will be outside of class for simplicity's sake. The dorms are more or less very super nice apartments. They are 3 bedrooms and each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, there is also a small kitchen and living area. These apartments are pre-furnished with different levels of luxury items. They come in 3 tiers moderate, luxury, and premium. There is, of course, wi-fi in all of the rooms. The building that houses the dorms also has a gym, pool, hot tubs, spa, ballroom, indoor tennis, basketball, and racketball courts as well as an indoor track and sand volleyball court. Students here can be creatures of your own making or one of the species I've accumulated lore for. Those include but are not limited to vampires, lycanthropes (werewolves), shape-shifters, witches, and elves. If you wish to do so you may propose new elements to the lore I've already accumulated either here in the OOC or by PM. Some of the students come from wealthy high powered families while others are orphans in the custody of the University itself and others still are scholarship students with families who cannot afford the fees of the university. This roleplay will be pretty casual though I would like to see posts at least every other day and for them to be at minimum one paragraph, preferably two. If you are to be gone for an extended period of time please let me know either in the OOC or by PM so that we can make a plan to freeze your character. I will do my best to be on every day though I'm about to be moving twice in less than a month so there may be a day or so that I'm absent.
