Note; Sorry about the first flop but after watching AHS: Coven again, I want to do a witch and warlock roleplay. This is just an interest check and much more will be uploaded in the OOC. Enjoy the plot below and hope this gains some interest. :) Also, a Tumblr prompt inspired this roleplay.



Welcome to Salem Witches Institute, the sister school that is equivalent to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It's considered one of the biggest institutes in the United States for witches and warlocks alike and it's a bit more modernized than Hogwarts and accepts students from various kinds of cultures. A new era has dawned upon the institute and this year has been deemed to be quite a shocker for the oncoming students.

Their uniform policy is not like that of Hogwarts but there is a dress code, which is much more formal than anything else. That means that guys dressed up in all black suits, with white buttoned-up, collared shirts and a black tie with black dress shoes and socks while the girls dress in a white buttoned-up, collared shirt and a black skirt that's at least two inches above the knee with black heels and socks. Also, forget the stories you have heard about the ghosts of witches and warlocks stalking the building because it's not true. No ghosts or ghouls lurk the hallowed halls of the institute.

The stories are not forgotten but still exist from the Salem Witch Trials time period still hangs over the town of Salem like a dark black cloud. The ones that we're able to escape and flee far away from the ongoing witch hunt, only to return whenever the madness had folded. But they weren't crazy enough to return back to Salem, instead, they dwelled in a nearby town, called Boston. This is when the preparations began between these four witches to open up a magic school, which they succeeded to do so.

A few years passed by and the school increased in the year 1952 and relocated to an area where many witches were burned at the stake in Salem. The four founders of the school designed it to be specifically an all-girls institute, teaching them how to hone their abilities, along with giving them an education in safety and defense. Around the time, wizarding or magical schools in America were only opened to men so Salem Witches Insititute was the first and only school to be all women.

Although, today a new era has dawned upon the institute and things are bound to be shaken up. Originally an all-girls school for witches, it has now opened its doors to accept men or warlocks. Many people were distraught upon receiving the news and some even took their daughters out of the school because of the recent change. The outrage lasted for an entire summer but died down once the letters were sent out for the upcoming school year. Another change to the institute is that they only accept witches and warlocks as early as fourteen years of age. Since the boy's entry into the prestigious institute, a string of disappearances has occurred but only among the warlocks.

People are left stunned, well not everyone because the girls are fine and dandy and are not worried by the disappearances in the slightest bit. Though, most feel and fear for the warlocks and also wonder what the hell is going on. If only they knew that someone among their own ranks is behind the disappearances, will the girls finally coincide with the boys? Or will the girls band together and not make it their problem? This year is shaping up to be on the highway to hell so you better buckle up and be in for one hell of a ride.

Yes, it will be. Other wizardry schools are not like Hogwarts. c:

Just a few more people before I conjure up an OOC. c:

Thanks, I had seen that in one line; it mentioned the younger classmen being 14, so I was a little confused.

Glad that's cleared up. ^_^

I'm interested.

What are the rules and limits on magic? Since Harry Potter basically doesn't have any.

Roger that!

I now have a new question to ask, can players play as staff at the school or would they only be able to play witches or warlocks?

Not that I want to apply as a staff member... well maybe--I dunno. *ponders*.

Well, since this is a bit different from HP, there will no wands. Magic comes from the basic kinesis such as telekinesis, pyrokinesis, and etc. Spellcasting or Voodoo.

If that makes sense. Think of AHS: Coven, if you have ever seen it. c:

I will only be looking for someone to write as the Headmistress as I will write as the Headmaster. Other staff roles will be NPC. c:

I hope that answers both of your questions. <3

That's not exactly different from HP, wands were optional half the time and magic just tended to do whatever was needed for the plot.

Does that mean each student picks a specialization and whatever spells they cast have to broadly fall into that category or just that available magic is largely elemental and falls into those categories?

I guess I'm just not sure what you mean by "basic" in regards to kinetic powers. The superpowered wiki has hundreds of entries for kinesis abilities. Does basic just mean the ones people have heard of/could identify what they do based on the name?

I just don't want to run into the problem the HP stories tended to have where they'd solve Problem A in Book X through really difficult means and then two books later there's a really simple spell that would have solved Problem A in ten seconds and apparently it is common knowledge. Like how instant transport didn't exist till Book 2 which makes the part in Book 1 where Dumbledore went to visit the Ministry by broom and couldn't get back in time look really silly. Or like how the Fantastic Beasts movies added forensics spells that would have made figuring out the culprit in Book 2 and catching Sirius Black in Book 3 painfully easy.
