College Of Magic

A RP where people die. A lot.




Dear Potential Student,

Hello. You are invited to the College of Magic, where we offer you the arts of Spellcasting, Summoning, Ritualism, Elementalism, Conjuring, and many other assorted Arts of Magic. You have been selected due to you high quantities of some form of magical energy. You will not have to worry about paying for a tuition, food, school supplies, or anything else on campus, as we expect that you will earn your stay over the duration of your education.
The College of Magic is a very private place, and would like to keep our location, and even our existence, a secret for the time being. So please, do NOT share this letter with anyone else, or talk about this letter to anyone. A spell has been put on this letter ensuring that anyone you share this information with will not be able to, how should we put it, bother us.
Don’t worry, you yourself will never be bothered by this spell for any reason, and if you choose to not come to our college, that is perfectly fine with us. If you would like to join our college, then please, say the words below between 11:30PM 5/19/2016 and 12:30AM 5/20/2016.

Awaiting your pleasure,
Harrison S. Hoyt



Welcome to modern day Earth. The only difference? Magic is real. Rare, but real. Your character is one of the many with the potential to learn it, and has been sent this letter. For some reason, you get the feeling that this isn’t a joke. There have been too many strange things going on in your life for you to be surprised that magic exist. It would almost have to. So you have decided to follow the letter’s instructions, and it is now 11:20 PM, 5/19/2016.




Hello, this is an interest check for the above RP. As players I will give you a little more info then what your characters have. Each of you will have one or more characters attending this school. Something your characters won't discover until they get there is that only an average of 7.23% of students survive the school. That is to say that the rest die. If your character survives the eight years here then they will be able to move mountains, demolish cities, create life and a number of other things. But they have to survive. The number of ways for a character to die in this RP and the chance of character death is high. Walk down the wrong hallway, up the wrong staircase, or just irritate an older student or teacher and you could find yourself making a new character. Also, as long as another player stays in character and doesn't godmod, there is no restriction on them hurting or killing yours. Don't worry, we won't allow someone to go on a rampage (at least not against other players) but beware of other PCs not liking yours. However, one safeguard that has allowed anyone the chance to survive is that each night at midnight each and every student is automatically returned to their bed unharmed, at least physically, as long as they haven't truly died.

If you are interested in trying to navigate your characters way through this school, or in watching character after character fall, burn, drown, get crushed, bleed to death, or any number of ways we (or another player) can come up with to kill you then please, show your interest.



Also, I will need one or two Co-Host. I have a list of requirements the co-host will have to full-fill, but they will have much power in this campaign.

For both Co-host:
1) Must create and run several teachers.
2) Must help finish the RPs details to add veriety.
3) Must randomly kill unnamed students to keep the threat of death real, and occasionally kill PCs if they enter a death scenario (fall through a trick floor onto some spikes, walk through a one way barrier with monsters on the other side, irritate an older student into attacking them ect.).
4) Voice their opinion on each character in PMs with the other hosts. (This will be the same PM for all of the CSs)

For either Co-host (only one needs to do this, but both can):
5) Create and run subplots.
6) Keep track of in game time passed. (I will be doing this as well but a backup/main would be nice)
7) Help keep the game moving forward.

*Facepalm* shall fix. Thanks @R31GN.

Edit: Although collage wouldn't be a misnomer. There are currently 18 different types of magic taught at the school.

How many classes would a Co-host have to teach? I have some ideas, but suffice it to say, I couldn't fill an entire school day.

I was thinking about Time Magic, and Blood Magic, the latter more specifically involving rituals, and what not to do when trying to achieve something in it.

Also maybe a Demonology course. Not sure.

Definitely interesting. I was going the more standard routes with mine, like Alchemy, Astral Projection/Psychic arts and Gym class.

I assure you, it's magical gym class.

First an update:

I count 6 interested players so far (one in PM) and this has been up less then a day. I will not be able to make a main thread for this RP until next Wednesday due to real life stuff, but I will continue to add more info here.

Added the list of magical classes available. If you think a type of magic is missing or not correctly represented then please feel free to bring it up. The more verity variety the better.

Note: There may be a reason a type of magic is missing, Demonology and healing for instance. Healing is a result, not classification, and several types of magic can heal in different ways. Demons on the other hand don't exist, or at the very least can't be summoned. Many Magic users create what they want to believe are demons, but no one has any kind of magic that can connect to any other realms or dimensions, whether they exist or not. Bringing the dead back to life is also impossible. No one really knows why.

Next, Some answers:

For those who wish to help Co-GM, Please PM me and @Pikmin Eye. He has (finally) officially agreed to help co-host this with me. He has already put in some effort on this. We are friends in real life and have spent some time discussing this RP, and he knows most of the source material I'll be pulling many of the spells themselves from as well as, or better, then I do.

As a Co-GM you will be responsible for a couple of teachers, each of which is in charge of multiple classes. Due to the size of the school (no more then ~300 students at a time, 200 or so of which are newcomers,) teachers don't always have things to do, some of your teachers won't be doing anything other then an occasional appearance.

Only I and the Co-host will control teachers or senior students. All player characters will start the RP ten minutes before the letter teleports you. Of course you can back-story in your first post, or lead up to the moment, but they will be a new student.

If any of you have more questions, feel free to ask.

Speaking of questions...
@R31GN Are you interested in playing as well?

I'll be keeping an eye on this, but as of right now some things have come up in life, and I don't think I'll be able to participate. As I said, I will be reading though.

Not a problem, you can join whenever you wish. Pending character approval of course.

That makes 5 interest at this time then.

Also, I failed my @Xandrya mention in my previous post, so here it is.
