When your grandfather’s grandfather was yet to be born, a super-virus was unleashed on the world, killing millions. Those that survived the ordeal were forever genetically modified. Some survivors mutated into monsters with great abilities. Others developed the ability to manipulate magic and could perform feats that could be seen as miracles before the virus.
Now, in the present day, these mutants are the norm. So much so, that schools dedicated to teaching these gifted students have gained immense popularity. One such school is Saltpeter Preparatory Academy, the setting for this story. In Saltpeter Prep, you’ll find some of the most variety of mutants in the world. Werewolves, pyrokineticists, medusas, and much, much more attend this school.
However, everything is not as it seems. Mysterious events are happening all over the school and the staff seem to have nothing but apathy towards it. Students turn up slaughtered, teachers vanish into thin air, pudding is served for breakfast. All these, and more, could turn up at any time.
It is up to you, our Freshman Class of 2019 to not only survive your time at school, but also to earn high enough grades so that you might graduate in four years’ time.

Characters in this setting can be as diverse as you’d like. Virtually any superpower and magic are allowed, so long as it is not game-breaking and does not force control away from other people. The only other rule is that there can be no instant-win powers. This means that a medusa’s petrifying gaze is now a petrifying-over-time effect and other powers need to be modified in similar ways.
Some general rule of thumb type stuff you may want to know about character creation are as follows. Magic+Monster is going to be weaker than Magic or Monster by itself. The more specific a power is, the stronger it is, but also the more limited in scope it is. For example, someone who can use magic to manipulate all the elements is going to be weaker than someone who can manipulate only fire, but the person with all the elements can obviously do more overall than the fire user.
Combat may play a role in the story, but it will always be avoidable if you don’t want to do it.
Right now, I’m just gauging interest in the idea, but if you really want to, you can post a character sheet using the following template (though, do note that the template might change and you will need to retroactively fulfill all criteria if it does change);
Name:
Physical Description:
Classification (Magic/Monster/Both):
Description of powers:
Personality:
History:
Extra-Curricular Activities (If Any):
More information about the setting will come out as interest is gained.
