you didn't answer my question

I kind of did. I said the two races are going to be humans and elves, with others as an afterthought and/or non-playable or nonexistant.

I think the way it's going to go down is humans vs. elves, both as particularly nasty empires, with the end goal of forming a resistance group and taking down one or both.

So I think I want to go with conscripted students age 15-20 humans as the first faction and elves as the second, elf students will infiltrate the school as part of faction b spy efforts. But the ultimate goal will be the overthrow of the human empire.

neither faction A nor B is good. That's for sure.

I'm not really a fan of the human like races vs the beast races, first because the amount of shapeshifting required is quite ridiculous, and second because it just seems mean, what if we had a mix instead? also six races seems a bit much.

Things I want to put up for vote

Other races? specifically elves I was thinking.
should elves be faction B with spies in Faction A's academy using shapeshifting magic to conceal themselves?
Modern twist? Hogwarts style? or just straight fantasy
any good aligned faculty members? perhaps player made?
age range? 16-20 is the obvious choice but it's flexible.

Specifically, this academy exists to train soldiers for the war effort. Magic using individuals are rare in this world, so faction A has begun kidnapping/conscripting young magic users and forcing them into training (with perhaps a small amount of brainwashing on the side) to be the cornerstone of the army against faction B.

No I haven't thought this through much yet. Plus I'm horrible with names.

Anyway, students would be trained in magic for warfare (non militaristic uses of magic would be strictly forbidden from practice) and secondarily for close combat. Particularly problematic students would be taken for "rehabilitation" and so most don't attempt to escape for fear of getting caught. In that way, we're mixing prison drama with classical magic academy. Yay diversity!

Spies would be among the students, spies for both factions, and the main goal would be escape, and hopefully being able to end the war or otherwise take down the villainous evil empire. I'm always open to contributions, so put any suggestions for names or plot or etc. down below if you're interested!

The Shapeshifting Event

You do realize I am but a mere college student who has had 90% of his summer unexpectedly filled up with all manner of things right? I was completely unaware of how much was going to happen over the past few weeks. I am not a career writer.

Regardless. Aeon you're out. I can't take this. It will be fortunate if this ever happens but if it does you won't be there anyway. I'm sure you wouldn't be happy with the direction it goes anyway.
