"The Academy is a place where amazing people and creatures of all shapes and sizes and colors can meet together on neutral ground and learn together to harness their unique powers while making new friends..."
 - and excerpt from the Academy's recruitment pamphlet 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The students were all situated in the Academy courtyard, waiting for something to happen.
 Suddenly there was a flash and a tall sinewy man with glowing green eyes appeared, the students all turned their attention to him. he looked around the courtyard quickly then walked back to the front door and threw it open, a tall tree-like woman walked out, accompanied by a surprisingly normal looking man, large but not particularly magical-looking.
 The woman came to the end of the stairs and, in a surprisingly loud voice, called out "Welcome!" when she had everyone's attention she said "I am headmaster Willow, and as you all know, you are here because you are special, here you can feel safe, and learn to control your powers and your unique abilities in your own time, at your own pace, i wish you all happy days, please have a wonderful year!"
 at the end of that short speech, Headmaster Willow turned and walked back into the school, with the same man following her. Students slowly starting shifting out of their comfortable positions and headed off.

( ^ not the best i know but bear with me, this is my first time GMing)

so, just to explain real quick, me and my best friend have made this one roleplay 4 times, it keeps getting deleted in one way or another, but we really enjoy rping it so we keep recreating it, the last one was deleted when the old guild went down.

this rp is just supposed to be something simple, something you can do to spend some time
it's an academy for folk of the magic variety, not just witches and wizards, last time we had some werewolves and a centaur as well, anything magical, as long as it's not op 

not to say nothing interesting will happen, me and my Co-GM (doesn't have an account yet) will throw in events that appear random that will eventually accumulate in some big ultimate pay off
and when that happens will find something else to keep you guys interested until the next plot for world domination come around.

you can go to classes, or not, but if you specifically say you skip classes ;) i play the principal/headmaster so i'm allowed to get you in trouble, nothing too bad though 
just have fun 

if you have any questions feel free to PM me and ask them

i have to say though, if your character(s) are doing something and you decide to be a no-show without telling me why, i'll have to do something about it.

Rules:
1) normal rules, no god-modding, Fade black, ext
2) be nice
3) keep cursing to a minimum
4) if the Gms tell you to do something, do it
5) be respectful
6) character max of 3 per person
7) GM can change the rules whenever we feel the need

[hider=class requirements]
the main core classes are of course math, english, history (bit differant from human history), and science.
there are others as well, everyone has to take a meditation/relaxation class, to learn to focus and control their inner 'energy' or power or the like
and there is a basic spells class, that teaches protective spells and the like,
