To the human realm, the Transcendental Institute for the finer arts looks like a normal prestigious school. With its luscious grounds and magnificent structure fit for royalty, it looks like nothing more than an expensive location where you send your child to provide them a stable learning experience. But to those who can see past its glorious exterior the halls of this school provide a safe place to reveal their true selves and to learn how to control their extraordinary abilities. To the realm of the supernatural the institute is a safe haven, but no safe haven lasts forever.

Each year an unknown identity chooses who will be attending the school. But unlike most schools you don’t send in an entry form or request entry, no, instead you simply receive entry. Each student receives a message, in a method guaranteed to catch their attention, and in this message is enclosed a date, place and time. If said student is able to reach their intended location on the date and at the time intended then they are guided to a secret entrance that is only accessible by presenting the method in which they were contacting, whether it be a note, a coin, etc. , it will automatically open a gate only visible to he wielder and transport them into the main grounds of the institute.

Once arrived, the students are greeted by automated messages that indicate that they are to proceed to the dining hall where among the rows of long tables rests a folder inscribed with their name. Within each folder lie the essentials they will need to navigate the school and their classes, including a map of the school, an introductory pamphlet and their class schedule along with their dorm numbers. Each dorm room sleeps four students who are mixed between new and returning though are separated by gender as most schools are.

Unlike most boarding schools the institute does not have a dress code and isn’t too picky when it comes to physical appearance as long as it is appropriate. As with most schools violence is not tolerated and is enforced strongly when it involves magical talent.

Rules are the same as most Roleplays
No over-powering your character
No using OOC information
No godmodding

If anyone would like to play the Head-Master/Mistress, just ask. I myself don't really want to take that role, though I will if absolutely necessary
C.S outline

Age:

Position: (Student/Teacher, New/ Returning)
Appearance:
Weapons:(on person or just what you prefer to train with)
Pets: (optional)

Lmao I hope not.

So @ProjectOdin, what kind of standards do you plan to enforce? This a pretty open RP as far as character concepts go, and I would greatly appreciate an assurance that we won't be drowning in Mary Sues.

I think that perhaps a list of what can be used, especially species wise, would be a good way to suppress this issue.

Just a pretty big red flag there, fam.

I feel like discerning judgement would be sufficient. The player base of this RP isn't so large that we would have to be proactive; it's enough to be reactive. Does that make sense?

Agreed. It makes sense. And what wrong with eating?

Well, I can't really give a list, as I'm hoping people will get creative, creating hybrid species or completely original ones. Honestly, I really don't want any vampires or werewolves unless you can put a twist on them, then go ahead. Another thing, I'd like everyone to be at least somewhat humanoid, though if you'd you'd like to play a non-humanoid character PM me, I'll think about it. I'd like the ages for students to be between 12-18, and teachers 20 and up, but there can be some special cases with teachers.

Yes, actually. I've never seen a player other than a GM play a character with power/authority over all others to that extent, and it go well. I would strongly advise you to play any sort of headmaster character yourself, and even then confine the character to being an infrequently-appearing NPC.

I also recommend this. I once allowed one of my own past RPs to have this scenario...it crumbled veeeery quickly, though that might just be the person, it's a lot easier if the Head is usually one of the creators.

@ProjectOdin Can I join? I have never played a play-by-post RP before so I am unfamiliar with how it works, but would like to try out one.

@Enigma0015Just to help you out quickly, the way to get the mention thing to work, is to either press one of their posts and let it automatically type it in when pressing Mention, or you use the [ ]'s either side of their Username.

@ProjectOdinI might have to step down on this, I apologise. I've just looked at some things that are going on and I'm going to find it hard to keep myself in this. I wish you the best of luck!

@LetMeDoStuff Alrighty, don't worry about it. Thanks anyways!

@Enigma0015 Sure! Hopefully you'll be able to get some experience here, haha. Just fill out the sheet and post it in the "characters" section.
