Apokalipse — Roleplayer Guild

Don't be daunted by length. Most of this information is just for reference (:

With Voldemort defeated, the Wizarding World expects peace to reign. However, without their knowing, a movement is being spurred by the wake of the destruction. Magical creatures are no longer coming to work; children are being kidnapped and replaced with Changelings; riots are covering Muggle streets. With the war, a new understanding as dawned upon the creatures of magic – they are victims of racism, too. And so, they refuse to be pawns of wizards and witches, and are demanding equal rights. Not only are the magical creatures rebelling, but a new organization under the name of TWK has began to rise. TWK is fighting for the right to expose magic to muggles, believing that they have a right to know and be a part of the magical world. They have done dangerous stunts such as purposely exposing witches – though the Democracy of Magical Beings has been quick to sweep it under the rug. As a student and the future of this world, what is morally right?

HEADMISTRESS: Gaia Endicott

Dear _____ _____,
I  would like to welcome you to Salem Witches’ Institute. This school offers a rigorous course to teach young witches and wizards such as yourself the correct and most efficient way to use magic. In the attached packet, you will find all that is needed in order to prepare for a wonderful year of school.

The school year begins the 27th of August, 2015. We will be expecting you.

Sincerely,

The Republic of Magic is the governing body of the United States of America’s wizarding community. While it is called the Republic of Magic, it is actually a democracy. In colonial times, it might have truly been a republic, but the government has shifted slightly. However, because the government has not officially been stated as a democracy, the name remains to be the Republic of Magic. 

The president of the American wizarding community is Odin Oppenheimer.

|Alvis Valentine|

Alvis Valentine is an up-and-coming politician who is fully supporting TWK and the magical rebellion. He strongly believes that it is time for wizards and witches to come out of their traditional ways and embrace a life where magical creatures, muggles, and wizards live side by side. Not only are his opinions strong and from an open-minded standpoint, he is extremely charismatic with a swaggering confidence that causes ladies to swoon.

|Heimdall Abbing|

Heimdall Abbing is Alvis Valentine’s main competitor due to his strict, aggressive way of politics. He is a crude man with a short temper who is loyal to traditions. He believes that muggles would become frightened by wizards and would cause war between the two vastly different species of human. His popularity stems from his fierce speeches that echo speeches of Puritans years and years ago.

The Rebellion began on December 15, 2014, when a centaur by the name of Alphard was shot and killed by an Auror named Etamin Fomalhaut. Fomalhaut had reported that Alphard was attacking him and he was proven innocent at his trial despite evidence suggesting that Alphard had just been walking through the woods. This caused a huge stir in the magical creatures community and they begun to riot and protest, demanding the prosecution of Fomalhaut. Many claimed it was an injustice and that pure prejudice was the reason behind Fomalhaut’s actions. As of now, there are riots erupting every day and peaceful protests being held. The magical creatures community is at war with not only the wizards, but with themselves – some believe violence is the only way and others believe peaceful protesting is best.

The first day of school will always be a Blue day and a Red day is always after a Blue day, repeating the pattern until the last day of school.

The school was founded in 1665, twenty-seven years before the Salem Witch Trials. It was founded by three women: Sarah Good, Tituba, and Sarah Warren. As such, the three houses were named after the three.
GOOD
This house possesses strong-minded individuals. Most American leaders were in Good because of the characteristic motivation for others to admire them and their ability to produce grand ideas and bring support for it. Members are usually motivated by self-love and are visionaries. Their personalities tend to be charismatic and daring.

Colors: Red and Black

TITUBA
This house relies heavily on emotions and their heart. Their “motivation is to love and be loved back” and are typically sympathetic and invested in others’ welfare. They want to be accepted by others and, because of this, they do not like conflict and are very supportive.

Colors: Blue and White

WARREN
This house prefers logic over reason. Members of this house strive for perfection and to continuously improve. They favor order over chaos and can be “critical and cautious.” Their moral standards are typically high and they mostly see in black-and-white.

Colors: Light Green and Copper

SORTING CEREMONY
Salem Witches’ Institute uses a colonial candle holder in order to determine a student’s house. This candle holder once belonged to Sarah Good, one of the three founders of Salem Witches’ Institute. The candle holder has been enchanted to detect the inner most desires and thoughts of the person who holds it. The sorting ceremony is simple enough: the first year student holds the candle holder with their left hand and lights the candle with a match given to them by the sorting master, Professor Endymion. The flame takes to the candle quickly and sparks into the colors of the house the child is sorted into. This candle holder is known as the Sifting Lamp.

TRANSPORTATION
The Peregrine is an old Peugeot that travels unexpectedly 270 mph. It is driven by Mercury and Pluto; Mercury drives and Pluto navigates. Mercury is notorious for her bad directions and Pluto is infamous for her bad driving; unfortunately, at night when Mercury is too tired, Pluto drives and Mercury navigates. As such, what would usually be a four day trip for The Peregrine becomes a seven day long journey. The Peregrine makes its trip all around the United States, it even goes underwater in order to get to Hawaii and travels through Canada to Alaska, stopping at bus stops in the capitals of each state. The bus stops are usually enchanted so passers-by don’t see multiple kids climbing into the tiny car.

Pluto usually hands out room numbers to every student that gets in the car before they enter the back of the car. In the back of the car, there are no seats, but a staircase leading downwards. When you go down the staircase, you enter the stairwell of the Peregrine Hotel. There are ten floors of the Peregrine Hotel with fifty rooms on each floor; usually the number rooms will have the floor first and the room number second. The floor that the student is on when they first enter the hotel is floor 10 and it counts backwards from there. The rooms are simple and small with all the furniture nailed down due to the fact that Mercury is a bit of a crazy driver and speeds severely. Each room has its own bathroom and a mini fridge as well as a small bed, a dresser, and a small TV. The hotel has managed to have wifi connection despite having been charmed since magic usually messes with electronics. Many students have tried to figure out how this is so they can replicate the solution at Salem Witches’ Institute which has no wifi and the only TVs that work there are the ones installed by the teachers. Every room has a window that shows the road and the scenery as well as blinds. The rooms also have intercoms that are used to ask Mercury and Pluto questions when they need help or need to know the distance; however, most students just keep it on so they can listen to the vulgar old women fighting and arguing, which they do nonstop. After the first floor, there is a ground floor which contains a hangout area for the students as well as a cafeteria and an arcade.

Note: The Peregrine is known by many other nicknames such as The Horse, The Cheetah, The Ugly Tan Thing (or King Tutt for short), and many more

DELIVERY SYSTEM
While their European brethren prefer owls, out of American pride, the witches and wizards of America prefer to use eagles. This change happened in 1782 and, as such, Salem Witches’ Institute immediately chose the eagle for their delivery system. A falcon can be used in place of a eagle as well as an owl, but generally, owls are looked down upon due to the stigma of denying American heritage. 
Most eagles are provided to students and kept in the aviary, but as such, students are allowed to bring their own eagle or falcon.

Salem Witches’ Institute; taken by Victoria Calliope in 1921

 “Salem Witches’ Institute is an old academy located somewhere in Massachusetts, invisible to the eye of muggles, known for possessing many hidden doors and staircases. The school seems to have a mind of its own and has shown to be very mischievous, often turning students around and confusing them. If the walls are damaged, it automatically repairs it, and if the windows break, then the glass crawls back into place. It is truly a magnificently magical place.

However, the rigorous academics is anything but. The classes are far advanced and tough, the homework long and strenuous – the amount of classes alone would kill! But nobody could say that Salem Witches’ Institute does not do its job. Headmistress Gaia Endicott works hard to assimilate the Institute’s young students into the wizarding and muggle world alike. She forces the students to embrace a strong, open-minded voice and encourages the students to debate controversial, but eye-opening, topics. 
Salem Witches’ Institute is the school of the future.”

-The Weekly Witching

|The Entrance Hall|

The Entrance Hall is connected to the main door and is a relatively square room. There is a balcony overlooking the entrance hall and two staircases facing the entrance door, curving slightly and connecting to the balcony. A beautiful chandelier hangs in the middle of the ceiling, glittering with light. The two windows that frame the white front door are draped in antique curtains. Opposite the entrance door is another door that leads to the Great Hall and on the left and right side, there are wooden arches that leads to hallways. Antique portraits of famous colonial people are hung on the antique wallpapered walls. Sometimes clubs will use the Entrance Hall for bake sales in order to raise money for their extracurricular activities and field trips.

|The Great Hall|

The Great Hall is a large rectangular room with light-colored wood and white bottom border with a light yellow paint. Two long oaken tables are horizontally situated on the left with two identical tables are next to them with simple oak chairs with ivory cushions. At the very back of the room is one more table, on a raised platform, where the teachers sit. This is where breakfast, lunch, and dinner is held. Dinner is always at 6:30 every night and breakfast is at 5:30 in the morning. Lunch is between third and fourth period. Various portraits hang on the walls, mostly Victorian and colonial in style.

|Hospital Ward|

The Hospital Ward are simply that, the Hospital Ward. It is on the hallway right of the entrance hall, the first door on the right. It is governed by Mrs. Woden, a kind but eccentrically dark witch who is always wearing dark robes. The Hospital Ward is a long rectangular room that is quite like a hallway, lined with hospital beds with a curtain that can be pulled around the bed. The floor is a dark oak and the walls are a dark beige.

|The Grand Library|

Salem Witches’ Institute is known for having a large library that spans three floors, small stairs and balconies situated in the room. The Grand Library is on the left hallway from the entrance hall and is the very last door on the left. Every wall is covered by a mahogany bookshelf, leaving no room for hanging pictures, and the room is generally open, with only the walls being occupied. Small tan tables are periodically situated in the center of the room with mahogany chairs and tan cushions. On the far back wall, there is a small door that leads to the Forbidden Section. For a student to be able to enter the Forbidden Section, they would need three signatures from three teachers. However, if a student were to be in the Forbidden Section and were to pull down a black book by the name of Secrets, Lies, and the Foretold by Quincy Delphi, the book shelf would swing open to reveal a hidden staircase.

|The Wanter’s Room|

The Wanter’s Room is a secret room that, when someone knocks on the wall three times, will change to whatever room that person needs at that one moment. To get to the Wanter’s Room, one must find the a black book in the Forbidden Section of the Grand Library and walk down a staircase which leads to a small, quaint room with no doors. Once one is in that room, they must think really hard and desperately of needing a room, and a grand black door will appear.

|Student Store|

The Student Store is located to the left of the Entrance Hall, the first door on the right. It has a tan wooden flooring and floral wallpaper walls and a golden chandelier hangs from the ceiling. The room has two rows of shelves going down the middle, back to back, with two more rows on the sides of the room. The Student Store sells school supplies, candy, magazines, newspaper, and stress balls for the students for last-minute needs.

|The Lounge|

On the first floor, the third door on the right on the left side of the entrance room, is the Lounge. The Lounge is the hang out spot for all the students and it is encouraged for students to interact with other houses. The Lounge has low lighting and has a central platform in the room, where a bar that serves chips and sodas is with vintage bar stools. On the level floor, there are multiple furry, long couches with circular ends and are a dark brown; there are tan throw pillows on it. On the end of every couch is an end table with vintage lamps and flowers on them. The walls are filled with miscellaneous portraits and paintings. Because of the low lighting, there is always a chaperone stationed in the room to ensure no funny business is going on.

|The Aviary|

The Aviary is on the uppermost floor with windows on two of the walls with white drapes. Large black bird cages fill the room, lining the two walls with no windows, and having two rows in the middle of the room, back to back. Messaging birds and birds that need rest are placed in the Aviary and this is where students and teachers go to for postage.

|The Quidditch Field|

The Quidditch Field is located a half a mile behind the school and is large and circular with four towers with the houses’ colors on their respective one. The Quidditch Field looks like a typical Quidditch Field.

|The Courtyard|

The Courtyard is immediately behind the school and is made of white stone with a large, circular fountain in the middle. It is another hangout for students are particularly sunny and pretty days. Unlike the Lounge, there is usually no chaperone on duty due to the courtyard being easily seen through the windows.

|the Garden|

The Garden is located behind the Courtyard and is filled with tall bushes, beautiful flowers, and willow trees. The Garden is large and contains exotic flowers from all over the world. Deep into the Garden is a gazebo where most couples go to have “alone time.”

|Lake Blue|

Lake Blue is a small lake off the right side of Salem Witches’ Institute and is only a two minute walk. It is known for its beautiful blue color. However, at night, a light mist comes over it and if someone were to go swimming, then they will be lured and killed by Sirens.

“Honeycutt is a small, quaint town that is a five minute walk from Salem Witches’ Institute. Honeycutt is a sweet reminder of home with its vaguely Southern style, fun shops, and kind community. By the end of a student’s education, Honeycutt will be a tender memory of toasty warmth.

Honeycutt is an unforgettable town that will make a student’s life at Salem Witches’ Institute memorable.”

She is a muggleborn and runs no-kill shelters in the muggle world as well as safe havens for magical creatures who have been abused and mistreated by muggles.

Martin Wieland is a columnist for Magic Daily that answers letters from readers, most of them asking about TWK and the muggle world in general. Martin Wieland, though a pureblood, had renounced his wizardry heritage when he was younger and fully accepted the muggle way of living until Sheila Herschel recruited him for Magic Daily and he was brought back into the wizarding world. While he may come off as arrogant and pretentious, he is not and he believes that humans are the sole saviors of the world.

Gawain Wagner is a political cartoonist for Magic Daily and is known for his twisted and sardonic sense of humor. His cartoon style draws in the readers and is often ridiculing the Republic of Magic, a government that boasts about its freedom, for restricting the freedom of others, such as muggles right to know and magical creatures. He can be a little arrogant and piggish, but his intentions are good.

Damon Yount is a journalist for Daily Magic who mostly reports the happenings of TWK’s movements and the magical creature rebellions. Damon Yount is the only journalist in Daily Magic who has reservations regarding the issue of TWK. Damon Yount has written that, while muggles have a right to be exposed to magic, there might be a backlash in the form of discrimination on either side and Yount has done strenuous research on society and reaction to change and has used that to support both claims.
