The Academy of Vendace Halls
To whom it may concern,
I, Head Master Vladimir Socratic, am pleased to notify you of your acceptance to The Academy of Vendace Halls. Before I enlighten you as to why you will be attending this school there are a few things that I’ll need to shed light on for your sake.
As you know The Academy of Vendace Halls is a school for the supreme. We only accept those who we believe can endure our academy. The enrolment of every student is not without reason; every student has their place and it is up to them to discover it. I hope you discover yours.
My school’s reputation subsists between non-existent to only an occult following. I need to state that whatever you have heard about in regards to my school is merely rumours. My students are sworn to secrecy the moment they step foot through my doors, thus any horrendous rumour you have heard is not true.
Due to your high achievements and excelled skills we have put forth your enrolment without denial. Over the years your skills and attributes have been observed very closely and it is to my great pleasure that I now enrol you into my academy. You sustain the capabilities to graduate and I hope you use them well enough to do so. As a student not only will you engage in customary learning but in addition activities/classes that will strengthen your core species, whatever that may be. Should you ‘carry on’ graduating, your abilities will be at their peak which can only be achieved through attendance of The Academy of Vendace Halls.
Semester 1 starts the 1st September. The delayed will not be tolerated.
Yours Sincerely,
http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/...ps47b2011a.jpg
Head Master Vladimir Socratic.

In Character
Go play kiddies.
Graduating from The Academy of Vendace Halls is not an easy task. The test is not taken lightly and those who do not pass, do not survive.
Throughout the terms, different tests will be put forward, tests which will test you physically and mentally. These tests aren't as simple as handing out an assignment, they could be as subtle as your teacher reminding you of a friends absense, other times, you don't have any help at all with figuring out what the next assessment is. It is a group effort; however, in the past, because of racial pride, many have lost their lives in attempt to complete these tests.
This is a mature themed RP
If you want a different race, not specified, PM myself or SweetCinderella and we will let you know if we approve or disapprove.
Try not to speed post, we know you’re keen to keep it running and want to continue with the interaction your characters are having; however, too many times have we've seen it kill RP’s. Please try to take other’s absence in consideration while you’re posing. We don’t want to come back to fifteen pages of crap to read.
As you read above, swearing is accepted, just not in every second word.
When we say no god-modding, we mean don’t make them good at EVERYTHING.
If you disappear or drop out for no reason, your character will be subject to observing the schools statue – in which it will be possessed by the demon of the statue and sacrificed to the demon’s collection of souls.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! We don’t expect you to go English teacher style on your writing, but at least have the sense to use basic grammar; if you cross the line between Casual and Free Riddle might actually kill herself with the screen of her laptop.
NO ONE LINERS! We know in the middle of a conversation it can be hard to write a full fledged post, but we're sure you can muster at least five lines.
Keep it interesting, although SweetCinderella and I the GM’s of this roleplay, we’re not keeping you on a strict leash; we’re always up for new ideas for the plot and new arcs inbetween.
In saying that, we don’t want that to start arguments and hostility between you and other writers. Please no fighting in the OOC. If we come back to twenty pages of arguments, your character will be sent to a Demon named Marlo’, who will eat you. Not before he screams in your face and kicks you a bit.
If you do have a problem with someone, please PM either myself or Sweet Cinderella before making a scene in the OOC. Sometimes it’s easily sorted out.
Warn about absences and such.
If we say something, reject a character or anything; don’t take it personally, we have a valid reason and we will give you that valid reason. I’m normally pretty laid back with that sort of stuff – the most I’ll do is ask you to change one small aspect.
BE CREATIVE! We don’t want all characters the same.
Most of all, HAVE FUN (:
P.S, If you have read the rules, please put Rawr at the bottom of your CS in size one font and grey in colour.

Nobody ventures into the Forest, for all those who have, never returned. It is said there is a strange evil; a nameless fear, hiding in the fog.

Much has been said of this area’s beauty; however, there is a reason not many visit this place.
The Academy of Vendace Halls exists as a sanctuary to a vast array of fabled creatures; each living either harmoniously or maliciously alongside each other. Just as darkness has the enemy of light, some species loath each other and are sworn rivals. Whilst some stand as a mere waste of existence, not worth the reverence or camaraderie of their peers; others exist to live in unison, parallel to one another.
Angels are divine creatures, warriors of the light. Just like demons they are not as affected by the darkness because they are a part of the darkness. Did you ever wonder if demon was once an angel, then what must a creature like that be like? They are kind creatures, which is evident through their healing powers but sustain a dark, cruel side. They are the original evil, thus upsetting an angel is far more troublesome then upsetting a demon. They do not kill or harm without purpose. Most female angels do not kill at all as it is frowned upon. The purer the angel the more difficult it is to corrupt. An example of this is if a corrupted entity were to try and possess a pure angel the task would be proved difficult and the entity would ultimately fail. Thus they can survive under conditions when others normally could not. Angels, like demons, are the strongest in terms of power, since they can manipulate the elements. When an angel has mastered all four elements they can then call forward ‘the light’ in order to manipulate it as they see fit. One of the grants of The Light allows for them to heal and bring things back to life.
Demons, like their counterparts, are divine creatures. In the food chain they are on the same level as angels since they are almost the same being. Demons are warriors of the darkness and unlike angels who simply have ‘a sinister side’ they are sinister/evil all the time. Demons embrace the darkness in ways that angels do not. They kill when they feel like it; they steal, cheat and lie. Unlike angels, demons are heavily affected by the opposite; light. If a demon has not has its first kill by the age of 6, it is frowned upon. Demons sustain the ability to also survive under circumstance in which most others would not. Demons, like angels, are the strongest in terms of power, since they can manipulate the elements. When an angel has mastered all four elements they can then call forward ‘the darkness’ in order to manipulate it as they see fit. One of the grants of The Darkness allows for demons to control things that are dead.
Witches came about as Lucifers way of granting mortals with supernatural gifts all for his personal gain. Thus some have come to believe that possessing the power of witchcraft is more of a curse as you are bound to follow Lucifer. The term ‘white witch/warlock’ does not exist because in the end everything a witch/warlock does, whether it be good or evil, excels Lucifers gains. There exist more witches than warlocks as it is believed that females are the weaker sex and thus more easily tempted by the devil. The most obvious characteristic of a witch/warlock is the ability to cast spells. A spell consists of a set of words, formula or verse, or a ritual action, or any combination of these in order to carry out a magical action. The belief is that by saying the words and/or performing the actions it delivers the ‘gain’ to Lucifer.
There is an old tale of a witch placing a curse on a warlock who loved the sea. The warlock tried to drown the witch for reasons unknown. However the witch did not drown as she was saved by a mermaid. The mermaid told the witch of an old sea curse that was sealed away. For years the witch hunted down everything she could on this curse and one day she went back to the warlock for revenge. She drowned him with the help of the mermaid. What follows is unknown, but when the warlock awoke the next day he was not what he once was. He was still in a humanoid form however his skin was purplish blue and covered in mucus. The worst part about his appearance was his head was that of an octopus with four tentacles around a lamprey-like mouth. The warlock soon discovered that his powers had changed as had his diet and senses. His sense of hearing had diminished but his eyesight increased being able to see in the dark. His powers had changed. He was no longer the warlock he once was who could manipulate spells. Instead the sea played a crucial part in everything he did. The extent of his powers has yet to be documented. The mermaid having felt guilty for what she had aided in attempted to wash away her guilt by luring the warlock to her by means of his new diet. It is said that the warlock disappeared in the ocean.
Werewolves are legendary creatures who came to be by the ones above in a bid to exterminate the infestation of vampires which overruled long ago. Originally simple humans who were granted the ability to magically transform into wolves or a hybrid wolf-like creature, they lowered the numbers of the vampire race. In present time a mixture of born werewolves or people bitten exist, however the originally families that were granted with the ability were lost years ago. A werewolf’s strength exceeds that of all other races, whilst their speed can be matched. A werewolf learns to change by will, not by the moon that is simply folklore. In true fact that presence of the moon depicts the rate of their healing – the bigger the moon, the quicker they will heal. They cannot be killed with any ordinary weapon, silver is the only weapon. They must be forced back into human form if one wishes to kill a werewolf. Rumours say that werewolves supposedly prowl the night, devouring babies and digging up corpses. Another rumour states that some werewolves become the things they hate the most after death, a vampire.
Varying from person to person; clan to clan, Shifters, depending on age, experience and talent, can shift in to animals, and on the rare occasion, they can take on different human like appearances. A Shifter will start with a human form, and from there, shift into a base form, which is more often an animal of some description. From that base form, be it a wolf, cat or bird – they may be able to shift into other animals. This is a hard ordeal, and can only be accomplished if the Shifter has enough experience and skill to be able to do so. If a Shifter attempts to shift into an animal they have not yet mastered, it will look strange, from an eagle to a frog; the frog may end up with a beak and sprout feathers as it tries to hop. Turning into a different human is the most difficult task for a Shifter; only the most experienced and skilled of Shifters can accomplish this – even then, the human will still look strange, not quite animal; however not quite human.
Different clans can be ranked in nobility, depending on what animal they can shift into; noble animals can be:
Phoenix
Eagle
Swan
Wolf
Jaguar
Hotblood Horse
Large Serpent
Other clans are not as lucky with base shifts, and are looked down upon; these clans can take the forms of:
Monkey
Ferret
Deer
Pig
Turtle
Rat/Mouse
Camel
Killing Shifters has proven a difficult task in the past; they are almost immortal in shift form; however, in human form, they can be killed in any way a mortal human can be killed. To kill a Shifter in animal form, they must first be forced back into their Human form. In order to accomplish this, one must first cut off the left hand of the Shifter and stab it in the heart with silver. This will force them into their original form; however, it heals them too. When a Shifter takes on its Human form, all wounds are healed; however, when forced back, they cannot shift for six hours after.
Sirens originated from the trickster race that is Faeries. In a bid to teach a lesson to those who mistreated their kind, Faeries crafted Sirens off their own blood. They granted Sirens with the ability to appeal and fascinate anyone they desire in order to lead them to their death. Sirens charmed others through the use of their voice and/or touch. In present time Sirens are of a much more sexual nature without the intent to kill or destroy. This is due to modern ideologies.
For generations, Mutant's have been more of a scientific species than anything; modified versions of a Human. However, in the last centuary, they have been achknowledged by the supernatural community and have been rather looked down upon by most. Despite their sometimes brilliant powers, most supernatural beings look down upon this leap in genetics; their limit to one power is the main cause for this, also their humanity.
Their power varies from telekenesis to pyrokenesis, from creating a cube of ice to deconstructing a car. Different Mutants have different powers. Killing them is like killing a normal Human; unless they have amazing healing abilities.
In the supernatural socitey, Vampires are classed in the bottom of the food chain. They may have hightened senses and amplified agility, allowing them super strength, super speed, razor sharp claws, night vision, extremely sensitive hearing and much more.
However, their weaknesses heavily outweigh their strengths. They are sensitive to objects such as garlic and holy objects; they are killed by sunlight and silver. Their skin is weak, and they are easily torn to shreds, they turn to ash when killed and do not need an invitation to enter.
