The Academy is not the most attractive of schools, set on a lonely hill, away from prying eyes. But this school has a secret--the students in its walls are trained as the warriors of the next generation, proficient in swordplay and magic alike. The malevolent spirits that roam the region are forces to be reckoned with, and it is up to these brave, young students to learn how to repel them. So it is that children from every corner of the worlds are sent here to be trained.

Classes are taught in the usual subjects, but also every form of survival and self-defense you could imagine. Teachers are veterans, old warriors and scholars, while the staff is also well-prepared for a sudden sabotage. 

The Spirits--their real names carry great power and are never spoken out loud--are flighty things, ranging from weak to extremely powerful. Their biggest goal is to be 'reborn' by inhabiting a ready vessel, which are in great supply at The Academy. Although some towns possess magic barriers to fend off unwanted attention, the Academy has none. This provides an valuable opportunity for experience--or disaster. 

Academy Rules:
All forms of rudeness are not tolerated. Your teachers will protect you, but don't sass them unless you're looking for punishment. 
DO NOT leave the Academy grounds. The Spirits are not as merciful as your teachers.
To study here is a great honor, one that you will hopefully not squander. Please give 100 percent of your effort here at The Academy.
If the bells ring, ALL STUDENTS will gather in the main hall, where you will assemble into attack forces.
To promote safety, a buddy system is in place. Buddies are assigned at orientation. DO NOT RUN OFF ALONE.

Other Rules:
Please fill in the small bio [character tab], but post it in ooc first so I can look it over.
Casual to free, like a paragraph or two.
No rudeness or general unpleasant behavior, please.
I can and I will step in if things get messy. Keep it ooc.
Romance is allowed, obviously, but keep it pg-13.

Also: contact me if you're interested in playing a teacher/staff member. I'll need a few.

I'll add setting details slowly. Basically, spirits are bad souls that try to invade a person's mind and body. Interested yet?
Probably not. Have fun anyway!
