Final Academy was created for the sole purpose of taking in students that no other magical school would teach. Not because of any problem with grades or behavior, it was because of what they were.
The Parents of students at magic schools alike had forced these other children out, fearing only for their own child's safety. The students that were forced out were witches and wizards who had been bitten/infected and had become werewolves and vampires to start. They were kept at peace within the school with potions. The vampires were allowed to hunt animals, and animals only. Failure to comply with this was expulsion. Then it began to happen to other students who had special abilities that were not only dangerous, but they couldn't control them, such us pyrokenesis. Soon the school began to take in all students with powers. These included:
Pyrokinesis- ability to catch things on fire w/ mind, and/or control fire.
hydrokinesis- Ability to control water with your mind.
Electrokinesis- Ability to control electricity with your mind.
Telekinesis- ability to move objects with mind
Telepathy- ability to hear others' thoughts, ability to speak to someone in their mind.
Empathy- ability to sense others' emotions.
Astral Projection- ability to project yourself into another place. Most can only do this while their true body is sleeping/unconscious.
Invisibility- self explanatory
Super Strength, Super Speed, immortality and such are also self explanatory.
What happens to these students (it's staying WITHIN the school for the most part. Or, if not, at least on topic) and what they end up becoming: good or evil, is for you to decide. It's run by all the teachers together, and they vote on all the decisions.
Final Academy, the school who takes in the ones the world rejects, is on the verge of crumbling from within. It is situated on an unmapped island, bewitched to avert those not tapped as students or mentors.
It is a dark castle, its strong stone rough from years of the elements. On one side is the lake, a crystalline body of water. The forest takes up a good portion of the grounds, just as it always has. But no matter how familiar are the grounds to students, a dark and enticing danger has presented itself...
And so the story continues; the early development of sides to a long standing war. The battle of centuries pulling near-children into its vortex. What it was before is nothing compared to what it will become. Neither side is good, but only one is evil. Not everyone is fighting for what they want, but rather are fighting for what they need. The one thing that losing seems to at least unnerve everyone- life. The falling into nonexistence scares everyone despite their brave words.
The Association, a secret society so secret that the real name of it remains clandestine, only being uttered by the highest members and leaders. Zy Lynch, an ex-hunter who killed for the thrill of it, and the member in charge of the project in the Academy. He who had approached Theo Runner at his apartment in New Jersey, giving him a 'warning' which consisted of a bit of a threat and the suggestion of joining.
Their public aims are that of overcoming repression and oppression caused by mortals and ordinary witches and wizards. This attracts the powerful and those bent on doing anything for the goal.
And then there are those who dare counter them. Something that formed from a brainstorm between Adrienne and Porcelain to fight against her power-hungry brother, Sebastian. Though Adrienne was pulled into the Association, Porcelain continued. Zephyr joined her, and then she imposed Theo Runner as the new leader in order to avert responsibilities.
And now we continue... Where will your character stand, and where will their loyalties lie? Will they pick a side, or stay out of the way-- it's now time for you to decide.
