Saint Michael's Dormitory. September 9th September, 1990. With the semester starting, and most of the students in their respective dorms, most are asleep to prepare for their morning classes. Others throw your typical all nighters for their 'first night' before class, irresponsible as that may be. Security is lax due to the generally quiet town, only a few guards on shift towards the dormitory entrance. The moment it turned midnight, the campus building had suddenly began to tremble. Without any windows, one would assume that this was an earthquake. However, outside revealed nothing but darkness. At least at first. 12:05, the shaking had stopped. A new light shown through the windows. A hellish field with a blood red moon. Confusion and panic set it, as red vines began to ensnare the exterior of the campus and creep inside. Aside from the hostile plant, various monsters one by one began to enter the school. Those that fell victim to these monsters would seem to vanish into a pile of clothing and steam after killed by them, some unfortunate enough to witness a friend shrivel away to nothing as their soul was sucked out of their bleeding bodies. Those that managed to escape into the church portion of the building seemed to avoid any demon encounters. This is when some demons began to seek out others amidst the chaos to form contracts. This deal, naturally, could save some of those victims, in exchange for an exploitable deal. This event is where most characters would have their contract cemented (Though optionally you can have that contract occur before this event if you wish.) 12:30 The school had begun to shake violently once more, and it was sent beck rippling through darkness, instantly brought back to the human world. Most demons and those strange vines remained in that hellish dimension, aside from the demons that made contracts. Some, however, were able to cling on, and would slink into the mortal world to prepare for a larger feast. To outside observers, the school hadn't moved from its spot, as if time had yet to pass during that whole ordeal. Due to the sudden disappearance and traumatic experiences of survivors, classes were postponed for a month.

A former religious school turned community college. The cathedral had been turned into a dormitory, with the most of the rooms for students and teachers on the upper floors. There is still a church room, along with other features like a cafeteria, recreational rooms, etc. The campus has a second building built for a majority of the classes, a bit spaced out from the cathedral like dorms which sits by its lonesome in the woods. Pines Township: A small city in Wyoming. Notable places within include a park, bowling alley and arcade, movie theater, and bar. Lake Rippletear. A large lake that sits right next to the city, fed by snowmelt from the western mountain range. Beartooth woods: A stretch of woods along a flat valley that fans out south of the city. The Great Maize: Nickname given to the wide stretch of corn fields along flat developed land east of the city, along with various farms both activate and abandoned spread without. Rippletear Mountains: Name of the set of mountains behind the city. [/hider] Character sheets: Customize it however you like, but i'll include the required info for each type. Additional info like personality and backgrounds are optional but encouraged! [hr] Human: Name and Appearance: Sorcerous Garb: Magical transformation appearance. Talisman: make a mark of the color of the talisman gem and how your character typically carries it. Can be a wearable item like a ring or otherwise an item to carry. Grimoire: by default its a black or brown book, but they can have some personalization to it and other designs. Can ignore this if you don't want your book to look special. Grimoire spells: you start with four. Other: Afaik if your character has some kind of occult background they *might* know some low level rituals or potions. Its also possible for such type of magic to be learned as the rp continues. [hr] Demons: Name and Appearance. Type: (Clanborn, Hybrid, Mutt) Clanborn refers to standard demon that inherints features of a clan. Hybrid is a combination of two or more clan traits, and mutt is generic without any clan inheritance.) Birthclan: (Can leave N/A for mutts. List two for hybrids.) Associated clan: (Can leave N/A if your demon isn't currently part of any clans.) familiar form and additional disguises: a Human disguise, a form of an animal or little creature, taking the form of a small object are the general optional forms a demon familiar can learn to take. [hider=Clan info(Ignore if not making any clans)] General info of clan if you're making one. Keep in mind a general theme where inherited powers could come from. Like a clan of fire demons or a clan of animal-like demons as some generic examples. Don't need to be super in depth and we can workshop new info for clans later on as the rp expands. [/hider] Rank: 1-3 starting ranks. each rank adds +1 to each stat. Stat spread: Default is just an even spread. You can make two starting stats 0.5 to make another stat 1.5 Strength, Durability, Speed, Magic Noteworthy Traits: Do they have flying wings, strong claws? Are they resistant to an element like fire? Weak to another? Arcanum: Refers to a special power, ability, or passive feature regarding your demon. Mutts rarely have any, this is more associated to clan inherited perks. Starting spell: You get 1 spell your demon can do to start with. If you don't have an arcanum, you can have two spells. Type: Artifact or Summon. Summon forms general resemble what a demon passively looks like. Weapon forms get an additional form for what their artifact form is, like a weapon. When your sorcerer wields your artifact form, they get half of the demon's stats added to their base pool. (humans/sorcerers are generally equivalent to 0.5 in a given stat by default.)
