OOC INFORMATION

I just wanted to give a brief premise of a few things here. There is no wand-waving magic here because this isn't Harry Potter. Everything magic wise is either through casting a spell, chanting a spell or a simple thought because we are dealing with witches and warlocks. At the beginning of the roleplay, a total of four boys have disappeared already with a recent disappearance just being discovered. The school is at a bit of a panic and the warlocks are practically blaming the witches for the disappearances. Just to add a dash of drama to the roleplay at the beginning. But we will be starting with it being the third week of school ICly.

ACADEMICS

The institute, just like any other wizarding school in America has different forms of testing. In the sixth year, students can decide to take MAPS, which is Magic Advancement Studies, and are rigorous courses than your regular studies that are taken for a full year instead of half a year. MAPS courses are available to prepare students for a higher-level job once they graduate and the scores range from 1, which is considered Troll through 5, which is considered Mentor. In the last year of school, students are required to take one or two tests, the International Wizarding Empirical Performance (I-WEP) or American Wizarding Test (AWT). These tests are taken into consideration for any job or career that requires post educational witchcraft or wizardry. The I-WEP test consists of one written portion and the second portion is a physical study of the student's choosing, like potions or charms or whatever. The AWT consists of two separate tests as there is one with transfiguration and one without transfiguration. Both tests are scored between 0 (Okay) to 50 (Outstanding).

THE HOUSES

House Danvers was founded by Alyssa Danvers, who believed that the institute should provide newer ways of teaching toward the students. The witches and wizards that are placed in this house value helpfulness and sacrifice. Its members are known for being very passive and fun-loving and healers along with entertainers. The house animal sigil is a crow and their rooms, there is a boys and girls side, reside on the east side of campus and the warlock headmaster office resides here, too.



House Ipswich was founded by Emilia Ipswich, who was also credited for the idea of an all-girl institute in America. The members of this house value loyalty along with good deeds and honor above just about anything else. This house consists of pure-blood witches and wizards, which usually means that its members are really serious and very judgemental of others. Their rooms, which are co-ed, are located on the south side of the campus and their animal sigil is a black labrador.



House Andover was founded by Rebeka Andover and it's the only largest house. Its members value leadership and independence much more than anything else. This house consists of scholars above anything else and that's really about it within this house. Their animal sigil is a white stallion and rooms, which are co-ed are located on the west side of the campus, which is also where the headmistress office is.



It is no doubt who this house was founded by and if you think Sarah Goode, you'd be dead wrong. This house was founded by Isabella Goode and its members favor traditional magic much more than anything else. This house is also known for producing some of the best minds in modern magic in America. Members that are in this house value curiosity and creativity and most of them are rather aloof in a sense. The animal sigil is a red fox and their rooms, there is a boys and girls side, are located on the north side of the campus near Witch Lake, which can be seen from their windows.

Welcome to Salem Witches Institute, the sister school that is equivalent to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It's considered one of the biggest institutes in the United States for witches and warlocks alike and it's a bit more modernized than Hogwarts and accepts students from various kinds of cultures. A new era has dawned upon the institute and this year has been deemed to be quite a shocker for the oncoming students. Their uniform policy is not like that of Hogwarts but there is a dress code, which is much more formal than anything else. That means that guys dressed up in all black suits, with white buttoned-up, collared shirts and a black tie with black dress shoes and socks while the girls dress in a white buttoned-up, collared shirt and a black skirt that's at least two inches above the knee with black heels and socks. Also, forget the stories you have heard about the ghosts of witches stalking the building because it's not true. No ghosts or ghouls lurk the hallowed halls of the institute.

The never forgotten stories that still exist from the Salem Witch Trials time period still hangs over the town of Salem like a dark black cloud. The ones that we're able to escape and flee far away from the ongoing witch hunt, only to return whenever the madness had folded. But they weren't crazy enough to return back to Salem, instead, they dwelled in a nearby town, called Boston. This is when the preparations began between these four witches to open up a magic school, which they succeeded to do so. A few years passed by and the school increased in the year of 1952 and relocated to an area where many witches were burned at the stake in Salem. The four founders of the school designed it to be specifically an all-girls institute, teaching them how to hone their abilities, along with giving them an education in safety and defense. Around the time, wizarding or magical schools in America were only opened to men so Salem Witches Insititute was the first and only school to be all women.

Although, today a new era has dawned upon the institute and things are bound to be shaken up. Originally an all-girls school for witches, it has now opened it's doors to accept men or warlocks. Many people were distraught upon receiving the news and some even took their daughters out of the school because of the recent change. The outrage lasted for an entire summer but died down once the letters were sent out for the upcoming school year. Another change to the institute is that they only accept witches and warlocks as early as fourteen years of age. Since the boy's entry into the prestigious institute, a string of disappearances has occurred but only among the warlocks. People are left stunned, well not everyone because the girls are fine and dandy and is not worried by the disappearances in the slightest bit. Though, most feel and fear for the warlocks and also wonder what the hell is going on. If only they knew that someone among their own ranks is behind the disappearances, will the girls finally coincide with the boys? Or will the girls band together and not make it their problem? This year is shaping up to be on the highway to hell so you better buckle up and be in for one hell of a ride.

@iSuspectI am always in favor of having a discord

@Hey Im Jordan

Knowing me, I’ll probably just end up making one anyway. :) Just wants everyone’s input.

@Fabricant451 @Hey Im Jordan @KZOMBI3 @Roach @sassy1085 @Kaggs @Infinite Cosmos
I thank you all for your interest and expect an OOC to be up tonight, hopefully. Also, would any like discord to be set up?

@Sanity43217
Unsure if you're interested but tagging you here anyway.

<Snipped quote by iSuspect>

I guess this leads to my next questions. What exactly does magic 'cost' and how easy is it to cast? Is the school pretty lax on casting, as long as students don't die?

@Sanity43217

It depends on your age level, to be honest on how easy it is to cast. Staff is not too lax on magic casting. During classes, yes but after classes, no. Of course, you do have those rule breakers. lol

Hope that answers your questions.

Seems pretty interesting. I'll keep my eye out for the first ooc!

What ages would you wish to see most? Young adult? Early fourteens? I'm guessing here that the cap is around eighteen or nineteen?

@Kaggs

I’m honestly not looking for one age over the other. But I’d say that I’d like more young adults because of what I have planned for the roleplay and don’t want anyone being left behind. Make sense?
