In this world filled with magic, there are many magical academies, they are synonymous with pride, legacy, excellence and most kids dream of joining one, dreams that are hardly fulfilled as these elite institutions don't just accept anyone into their ranks.
Well... most of them. There are always exceptions.
Fae Creek City Academy is pretty much open to anyone, this is not born from a spirit of inclusivity or any sort of philosophy, it's mostly just a very sad mix of desperation and greed.
See, Fae Creek City (it's more of a village really), or as many call it, Faker City, is in the purlieu of the empire, the western frontier to be exact, and things such as "law" and "government inspections" aren't very common around there.
This means its magical academy is very much free to do whatever it wants. Dubious teachers, dangerous experiments and expeditions and a high fatality rate (thankfully they also have white mages ready to pick whatever is left for resurrection spells, they don't allow students to just die, not before they pay their loans)
Of course, this paints a bad picture of the academy, many ask "why would you ever go study there?", well, because again, they accept anyone. There are no background checks to see if the person isn't a spy or delving into dark arts, the entrance test is as easy as writing your name and even people who fail at that can get in since the staff can be bribed with pocket change.
The RP
This RP still without a name is a simple concept: Its yet another take on the concept of magical schools, I know, its super rare to see one of these. Its a more comedic and casual take on the concept. Players are free to actually explore magic and get wild, they won't be given a small list of magic types or elements to pick from or have to follow countless rules on what they can do to keep things balanced.
There will be non-mandatory classes, school trips and assignments.
The Characters
Many character types will feel at home in the run-down, corrupt institution know as Fae Creek Academy. Rich kids who just need that magician diploma, distracted witches prone to causing accidents, people whose magical powers are naturally chaotic, mad inventors who cannot do what they want to do in any respectable place and, perhaps the most unfortunate types, kids who are putting some honest effort into it but are born with very low affinity to magic.
Age range would be 15-19 but there are some sad cases of people still stuck in there well into their 20s
The tone of the RP
As the plot hook implies, a lot of things go wrong in Fae Creek. It wouldn't be out there for some students to die, multiple times even. However, to keep with the light tone of the RP and avoid moving into the macabre, these things will follow something close to cartoon logic / cartoon violence instead of realistic stuff.
For player who don't want silly/quirky characters, going for a straight-man archetype who either ignores or calls out the stupidity around them is fine.
