Werewolves, Vampires, Witches and Wizards and more. All coexist in this world, hidden from mortals by ancient decree - with those risking discovery punished harshly. Most of the communities live apart, but are obligated to have their children attend one of the few supernatural academies spread across the globe upon their 18th birthday, where they will learn better to control their powers and cooperate with other supernaturals. They generally remain in the academy until around the age of 24, meaning a six-year term. This does however mean that students often come to the academy with preconcieved stereotypes of other supernaturals, and there are very strong cliques. Primarily, these are of [b]Werewolves[/b], [b]Vampires[/b], [b]Witches/Wizards[/b]. These academies also function as governing bodies in the supernatural world, each responsible for maintaining order in their respective territories. Our story takes place in [b]Hawthorne Academy[/b]. This will be a school slice of life roleplay as our young adults try to navigate this complicated social situation - understanding their powers, making friends, enemies, and lovers along the way. Additionally, our characters will become involved in the mystery behind an increasing number of supernatural dissapearances, murders and thefts of ancient artefacts - all of which will center around [b]Hawthorne Academy[/b], hidden in the highlands of present-day Scotland. How much individual characters involve themselves in this plot is ultimately up to the players, but have no doubts that the developments of these mysteries will have consequences for us all. Among other things, players will be free to have their characters attend classes, interact with professors, form friend groups, be assigned roommates, and generally immerse their characters in this supernatural, dark academia setting. Narrative events will be created by me, and these will be explained in a little more depth below. Though, before going into too much detail, I wanted to put this interest check together to test the waters and see how much interest there is! I intentionally want to keep this accessible without too much required reading, but lore will be expanded upon in an OOC post should this gather enough interest. Please do let me know if you're interested, or have any questions.[/color] [sup][h3][color=black][b]_____[/b][/color] [color=555151]themes[/color][/h3][/sup] [color=gray]supernatural / dark fantasy / dark academia / murder mystery / school life / romance / betrayal[/color] [sup][h3][color=black][b]__________[/b][/color] [color=555151]narrative events[/color][/h3][/sup] [color=gray]This roleplay will include [b]narrative events[/b] that players can opt to have their characters involved in. These will range from a calendar of school activities (the annual ball, competitions, etc) to investigations into dissapearances, murders, and more. Some choices in these narrative events will have consequences, but these will all be discussed with players beforehand. At all times, the driving idea is to create collaborative, engaging story. Players are free to choose which narrative events they involve their characters in as they appear. As such, it is possible to focus more on the school slice of life - but there will be a plot, always moving gradually forward, which will have impacts on all characters.[/color] [center][color=gray][b]Thanks for reading![/b][/color][/center]
