Enter: Avalice, the Academy of Might & Magics. A name known to all throughout the world, the fortunate youths who come here and survive the grueling years of academia exit its hallowed halls with the purpose of becoming the world's next legendary heroes! Yes, the ones that common folk will sing songs and write stories about for ages to come. But not every starry-eyed, would-be hero will graduate to the greatest of honors. The courses are tough and the competition tougher still! The graduate rate of Avalice is a dismal 5% of the enormous student population. After all, only the best of the best are fit to be called "Legends". At the top of the student body hierarchy reigns the Miracle Seven: seven students considered the most powerful in the entire school and the most likely to achieve "Legend" status after graduating. Their powers are so great that they even eclipse most of the professors who teach there. But this is not the story of the Miracle Seven. Quite the opposite in fact. Meet Class Camellia, or Class-C for short. One of the subdivisions in which a student is assigned to, Class-C is consistently ranked as the worst performing class of the academy for nearly a decade now. In those 10 years, not a single student from Class-C has managed to graduate from Avalice. It’s not necessarily that the students of Class-C are individually the weakest bunch, but they’ve never had a Professor capable of nurturing their true potential. Chalk it up to misfortune or what have you, but it seems the Curse of Class-C is every Professor’s worst nightmare. A new semester dawns on Avalice and, fearing that another year of failure awaits the students of Class-C, Headmaster Alphonse Augustine has hired a recent academy graduate, genius of the magical arts, and former second seat of the Miracle Seven—one Nyx Yuria—to be Class-C’s new Head Professor. Surely, a former member of the Miracle Seven will finally break this abysmal curse? Unbeknownst to everyone, Nyx is a disgraced graduate. He’s someone who never made it as a hero or adventurer in the real world and constantly lives in the shadow of his self-proclaimed rival: the former first seat of the Miracle Seven during their years at the academy together. Jaded and envious of his vastly more successful peer, Nyx only took the job as an excuse to avoid facing his own failures. All in all, this is starting to smell like a recipe for disaster. Or can Nyx and the students of Class-C band together to finally show the world that they, too, can be legends?[/i] [hr] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/RZpGb2Fv/Archives-Part-Small.png[/img] [hider=Setting][center][hr][img]https://i.postimg.cc/13y7sXJc/Wei-Continent-RPG-World-Map-spring.jpg[/img][hr] Our story takes place in the lands of Alrune; a high-fantasy-style world rich in mana which flows through all life. In the northwestern continent is where the grand city-state of Genelogia lies and, more importantly, where the Academy of Might & Magics—Avalice—resides. Most of human civilization is settled in the northern lands. The lands to the lower south are collectively referred to as the Dark Continent: the realm of Devils; a place where no one dare treads. The technology of Alrune places magic constructs at its forefront. Since mana is so abundant, it is used as a primary energy source. Coal, steam, and electricity are on the rise but isn't as prevalent as mana-powered infrastructure. Firearms are an emergent technology but are not favored over the traditional types of weaponry. And magic is always in fashion.[/center][/hider][hider=Mana]The source of all magical and supernatural abilities. Mana is an energy that flows through all life but not equally. For instance, flora and fauna have minuscule mana pools compared to that of a sentient being like humans. And even within humans, not every person can tap into their mana pool. Those that can are likely able to shape that mana for all manners of use. The size of a person's mana pool varies but those who have larger mana pools are potentially very powerful individuals. Every person has a distinctive mana coloration and characteristic. The latter means that when an individual resonates with mana, it gives those sensitive to mana a unique sensation. In a simplistic sense, you can 'feel' the mana, and that feeling varies depending on the person channeling the mana. Mana, as an energy source, is created by the expulsion and dissipation of mana-based abilities. For instance: when a magic spell is used. The mana pools into either the ground or atmosphere and can then be collected by special machines. Plant-life also expel mana constantly into the atmosphere the same way it does oxygen.[/hider][hider=The Classes]Below is a list of the sub-division classes that a student of Avalice can be assigned to. An assessment exam is used to determine placement. Each class is headed by a single Professor and Class Representative chosen among the students of the class. More information will be added as the story continues.

Each individual within the collective possesses extraordinary talent and massive mana pools. They are so powerful that even most professors are inferior to them in terms of abilities. The Seven are ranked in descending order of seats: 1st seat is the most powerful while 7th is the weakest. They are Avalice's greatest chance of graduation and are considered far and wide as the next generation of legendary heroes in the world. Not only does the title bring them fame and recognition, it also gives them a voice in how the academy is to function. Operating as a council, they can use their administrative powers to affect how the student population is taught and can make changes to any matters regarding student life and extracurricular activities. All members of the Miracle Seven belong to the special sub-division Class Aster, which has been created specifically for them. They are taught their curriculum by a professor who has achieved 'Legend' status in life and has since retired. At the same time, they also continue to have ties to their previous classes before joining the Seven. Any student can become a member of the Miracle Seven at any time. All they have to do is be able to defeat any one of the Seven in an officially sanctioned match; thereby taking over that position of the previous Seven member.[/hider][hider=Devils][center][hr][img]https://i.postimg.cc/TYBYT3hS/devil-silhouette-22.png[/img][hr] Demonic entities of immense magical powers, it is unknown how they first arrived here on Alrune, but, when they did, they brought with them catastrophe. After a long and brutal war, the Devils are said to have wiped out all of the ancient races including the Elves, Dwarves, Fey, and Giants. But the war also devastated a huge population of the Devils and so they claimed the southern lands; resting in their dark domain ever since. This spurred the creation of Avalice in hopes of making legendary heroes worthy of fighting the evils of the world and, someday, to stand against the Devils when they rise again. Although, rumor has it that some Devils have wandered into human lands and have tempted humans into a treaty with them: power for a soul as they say...[/center][/hider] [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/5127619]Link to additional Out-of-Character Information from the Interest Check[/url][hr] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/7ZgVVbzr/Registration-Part.png[/img] *** Format this CS to your preference *** [pre] [b][u]Personal Information[/u][/b] Name: Titles: (Any titles/nicknames your character goes by) Age: (15-17) Gender: Date of Birth: (No year) Hobbies: Height / Weight: Appearance: (Anime pictures only; text description acceptable but not preferred) Personality: History: [b][u]Combat Information[/u][/b] Classification: (Might or Magic?
