Silverspell University

Scientia et in virtute



In a place shielded heavily by magickal wards lies a vast series of buildings nestled deep in the mountains. This place is known as Silverspell University. It is the place where supernatural beings go to learn the final stages of control of their before they being their adult lives. Humans also attend the University though they are few and far between. The school also serves as a place of sanctuary to those newly inducted into the supernatural world, this mostly serves newly created vampires or humans who had unwittingly stumbled into a world they never knew existed. Some of the students here are from powerful supernatural bloodlines, others are here seeking asylum from persecuters, others still are students on scholarship or that have been taken into the custody of the university.

The university also serves as the home of the Council, the governing body of the supernatural. This is partially the reason its location is such a closely guarded secret. The university can only be reached by a vortex portal constructed along the ley lines of the Earth. Thus there are many points from which to reach the university all the while keeping its location a secret. Each student is given an advisor of sorts in a familiar. Gaining a familiar is how each student learns to travel through the ley line portals and get to the university in the first place.

Familiars are creatures of unknown origin, they remain with the students through the duration of their stay at the university. They come in many shapes and forms, always animals, and act as a conduit for powers. They can communicate telepathically with their charge and help them navigate through university life and politics as well as helping them adapt to their new home. They are quite often the opposite of the student and yet somehow a perfect match. They teach the students control and how to use their powers and gifts in the most effective manner possible.



The idea is that this will be centered around a University for the supernatural (not the Sam and Dean kind) as well as humans. It will mostly be about the characters free time that they spend in the co-ed dorms. I will assign roommates randomly via random.org just before the roleplay begins for the sake of fairness. If there is interest we can have some interaction during class time but for the most part, it will be outside of class for simplicity's sake.

The dorms are more or less very super nice apartments. They are 3 bedrooms and each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, there is also a small kitchen and living area. These apartments are pre-furnished with different levels of luxury items. They come in 3 tiers moderate, luxury, and premium. There is, of course, wi-fi in all of the rooms. The building that houses the dorms also has a gym, pool, hot tubs, spa, ballroom, indoor tennis, basketball, and racketball courts as well as an indoor track and sand volleyball court.

Students here can be creatures of your own making or one of the species I've accumulated lore for. Those include but are not limited to vampires, lycanthropes (werewolves), shape-shifters, witches, and elves. If you wish to do so you may propose new elements to the lore I've already accumulated either here in the OOC or by PM. Some of the students come from wealthy high powered families while others are orphans in the custody of the University itself and others still are scholarship students with families who cannot afford the fees of the university.

This roleplay will be pretty casual though I would like to see posts at least every other day and for them to be at minimum one paragraph, preferably two. If you are to be gone for an extended period of time please let me know either in the OOC or by PM so that we can make a plan to freeze your character. I will do my best to be on every day though I'm about to be moving twice in less than a month so there may be a day or so that I'm absent.

@Vrrak Early to mid twenties though older students do exist because of the humans and created vampires.

Is it acceptable to play as a teacher of some sort? Or some other form of faculty?

@SepticGentleman That would be a tough stretch as the roleplay will mostly center around dorm life so a teacher wouldn't have much cause to be in the dorms. Perhaps a dorm matron or patron of some sort would work though. There to keep order of sorts, the university takes a very hands off sort of management of students. In the real world they will have to fend for themselves and learn to navigate social politics.

@Conscripts I'm resistant to the idea because physically the creature would have no way of communication as it has no vocal chords. It would be entirely reliant on whatever magick that keeps it animated to give it some way to communicate. Also, you would be extensively lacking in not just audible communications but physical means as well due to no facial expressions. How are you proposing it will communicate with others? If you're more comfortable we can discuss this via PM or here. It does not matter to me. I'm happy to work with you to make your idea work.

I put a character up, would you like me to submit a lore type thing for dragons as well? I figure they're pretty standard but I could make up something.

I think I can pull off a dorm patron. Would a uhhhhh, humanoid-owl-demon kind of thing work as a species?

Well for communication they could do sign language or write whatever they need to say down on a note or similar program for the vocally impaired. For physical communication without facial features they could just exaggerate their movements, like if they want to convey incredulity they could swing their head towards the person and stare at them.

Also you are kinda vague on the powers of witches, you say they can do things but a couple of examples would be helpful especially with Energy magic because all I know is that the tend to be unstable individuals.

So a demon with a humanoid/owl combo form. Sounds acceptable. It would just be a type of demon that happens to have that physical configuration. Just keep the powers within reason.

@Vrrak I think that would be beneficial for the other players so that everyone has a clear understanding of what your character is. It doesn't have to be as extensive as some of mine but do give lifespan, possible powers/gifts, cultural notes, methods of death, quirks and such.

I think that would make everyone's life a bit difficult.

As for energy magick in witches think Vampire Diaries spirit users. They can see and touch magick that is otherwise unavailable to other witches. The premise behind magick is that witches can feel it and how objects and living things interact with one another and manipulate this interaction to create what is called magick. Energy magick revolves around the magick or energy that keeps living things alive. They manipulate this magick and because most of that comes from their own life source it weakens their immune system and their minds. Most of these witches fall ill or lose their mind rather early in life. They rarely live to be 50.

Other elemental users are what you might consider to be more or less humans with elemental gifts; fire, air, water, and earth. Their magick allows them to touch, create, and manipulate these elements. Solstice and equinox witches are so powerful because they have a culmination of elemental magicks in relation to their solstice/equinox.
Hopefully this helps. If not I can certainly work up a more detailed explanation given a bit of time.

So would a witch with fire magic could do other facets of that, like light and stuff, or are they stuck with only fire and heat?
