Premise
You are one of the recipients who have received the special invitations to Zandore’s Academy. It is famed to be the most unique ‘school’ in the world as well as being a complete enigma. Located east of Chiba, Japan, Zandore’s Academy is supposedly found on an offshore island. It has extraordinarily large grounds and a plethora of facilities. As destiny or fate or maybe your parents had it, you enrolled into the school. Unbeknownst to you, you will be forced into the 'Supernatural Studies' club where you will encounter pleasures and horrors alike. Your story begins as you wait along Yokohama port for the school's private ferry to arrive...

Mehehe, who's interested? Basically we'll exploring the mysteries of the school as the supernatural studies club. Searching for about 6~10 people before I get the OOC up. The OOC will flesh out the school history a bit more, architecture and contain the available courses as well as how the rules and how the school works.

There are only two requirements for people who want to join:
1. Commitment - This will be a multi-arc RP and I don't want people who drop like flies and ruining the fun for everyone.
2. Good writing - No need for page long posts, just something of decent length and is a pleasure to read. Oh, grammar is a must.

Information Booklet

Zandore

Zandore founded the school in 1950s. However, the school was but an obscure one and had little influence. Many did not want live away from civilization to study in a school with little history. It was in the mid 1970s that Zandore the II revived the school by amassing enormous funding through various influential people. Yes, Zandore the II was an 'exceptional being'.

The official reason that the school was built is said to be Zandore’s desire to help preserve and protect the greatest humanity has to offer and to provide for them an environment that allows them to expand their abilities to that of their full potential. However, many speculate he did it ad a father to create a home for his son. Regardless of the reason, Zandore's Boarding Academy has produced many excellent individuals throughout the years. However, there have also been numerous graduates that have gone on to become menaces to society; mafia bosses, legendary thieves and whatnot.

Zandore's Academy is a school meant for everyone; geniuses, prodigies, misfits, oddities and monsters alike. Have no fear though, for whatever you arrive as you most certainly will leave as something more. The school holds a completely neutral stand towards its students. While this ensure there is no discrimination, it has caused outsiders to fear the school as much as they respect it.0

Rankings

Zandore's Academy works on a reward system that grants greater privileges and rights to those with higher rankings. Classes in each year are divided from Class S all the way the way to Class F. In short, there are 7 ranks with Class S students receiving the most benefits. They have more leeway regarding school policies and receive various incentives such as additional services and higher allowances. Fret not, even Class F students receive enough to complete their studies. The system is there to motivate students to excel in their fields.

There are two ways to rise in the ranks. Firstly, there is the traditional way of simply producing results. Be it academically, club activities or even external achievements, the teachers will access the weight of these achievements and students are reclassed every 3 months. The second way is via the shuffle matches. A student of lower rank is allowed to challenge an upper rank student. The rules as well as the game are decided by the upper rank student. If the lower rank student wins, they swap ranks. However if he/she loses, they drop in rank. Class F students are not allowed in shuffle matches.

Allowance

As mentioned in your letters, students will all receive a weekly allowance. Your student ID will act as your debit card while you study here. How do you get a higher allowance? Simple. You will be rewarded a weekly allowance based upon your ranking. You will also receive it from teachers for exceptional work. The quickest way to gain higher allowance, however, is to perform well in the various events hosted throughout the term as the winners here are awarded various rewards which often include a large amount of cash.

Your dorm room, school supplies, and daily meals come free. Your allocated allowance can be used for anything outside those areas. Anything you wish to acquire can be gotten. Whether you want to buy coffee, furniture for you room, or an authentic samurai sword all can be gained through the use of points. Guard your IDs well for without them you will find yourself quite out of luck. Should a student file for a new ID, he/she will have their balance reset as well as be dropped down to Class F.

Dorms

Students are free to stay in whichever dorms they please as long as they meet the requirements.
Prominence - To describe Prominence as a mansion would not do it justice. It is an opulent building fashioned after the gothic style meaning it is a large stone structure that comes complete with towers, large windows, and ledges covered in elaborate statues. The interior decoration is equally old fashioned but the air of class and refinement is unmistakable. The dorm grounds are several times larger than the other two, with well-kept gardens and even a large pond. It is surrounded enclosed by three meter high fences. Although it has enough rooms to house several hundred students, it is currently occupied by the 86 Class A and higher students.
West View – Located on the western edge of the island, West View is basically villas donning the side of the beach. They all use a modern concept giving off the air of the wealthy. Since only the beach at West View is maintained by the school, it is a popular spot for students to visit for a swim. However it is also located furthest from the school which in the central area of the island. It currently houses over 200 students, all of Class C or higher.
Academia – Academia is the largest dorm on Zandore Island and while it has the most basic design out of the three dorms, it is by no means run down or anything of the sort. Academia is a company of 5 story terraced houses which form a semi-circle around a park.

September Zedler

Name: September Zedler

Nickname: The Lionheart

Gender:Male

Age: 26

Age Appearance: Early twenties

Personality: September can be described as charming and amiable with a dash of sarcasm. He has a strong personality and seldom loses control of his emotions. He has an easygoing sense of humour, often cracking jokes whenever the mood gets too tense. Despite his rather large stature, his personality meant strangers were seldom intimidated. All in all, September gives of the disposition of a capable elder brother.

However this man isn't without his faults, he takes life seriously, perhaps a bit too seriously according to some. September's eyes are filled with ambition. Motivated by a relentless drive, he has been steadily making his way towards his ultimate goal; to take out a specific Aevum Hunter. Though most of his peers are unaware of this, they are still able to sense Steptember dedication towards whatever cause he was aiming for. This fundamental difference separates him from the crowd, it often creates a wall between him and others despite his friendly disposition.

Backstory: Soon after being born into the recluse islets of Aeria, September was subjected to a gruesome sequence of events. The reason his parents had settled down in such a place was to seek refuge from the people indigenous to these tiny islands. His mother was connected to an Aevum. Though she possessed great power, she refused to fight against the Crucibellia Empire, her family was far more important. However, after several short years of peace, they were eventually discovered by the Aevum Hunters. The natives were all but slaughtered and his mother was barely able to fend off the hunters as they were on the run once again.

Though she was strong, the Aevum Hunters outnumbered her and had comparable strength. They could never settle down longer than a few months before they were discovered again. Eventually life on the edge caused September's father to fall into depravity. Paranoia, hunger and fear had pushed his mind past the breaking point. He eventually sold out his wife and child in exchange for having his life spared. However, the Crucibellia Empire didn't keep their end of the bargain. Though she managed to escape with September yet again, being betrayed and seeing her love killed before her eyes eventually took its toll on Alexendra. Dark thoughts crept into her mind and her connection with her Aevum kept weakening. Without the power of an Aevum, Alexendra was found and killed but not before she ensured the safety of her beloved child.

Fast forward 10 years later, at the age of 19, September finally began his career of becoming a Rift Hunter. It would provide him with the necessary skills for his revenge. Due to his dedication, it only took a 4 years for him to becoming prominently known as 'The Lionheart'. Connections, money, skills; he acquired all of these rapidly. However, a dangerous encounter with powerful rift beasts left his legs mauled. That was 2 years ago. Now, September is midway though his rehabilitation in the town of Kuiper. He had decided to pay a visit to Kukrow for celebratory reasons but that was when...

Classification: Ex-Rift Hunter

Skills:
-Literacy
-Navigation
-Cooking
-Combat (Hand-to-hand and ranged arms)
-Mechanic
-Drawing

Techniques: -in development-

Equipment: -in development-

Position: -in development-

Theme Song: "Let's get wild."

A work in progress. To clarify some stuff, September isn't OP or anything. He might possess a wide array of skills but the dude's pretty much crippled. He can walk for short periods of time but rigorous movement is pretty much a no-no. I also hope the Aevum parent thing wasn't overstepping any boundaries, September himself doesn't possess it.

If they are any problems I can amend him. My brain's currently fizzing out and I need to study for tomorrows exam >_>.
