The Transcendental Institute

To the human realm, the Transcendental Institute for the finer arts looks like a normal prestigious school. With its luscious grounds and magnificent structure fit for royalty, it looks like nothing more than an expensive location where you send your child to provide them a stable learning experience. But to those who can see past its glorious exterior the halls of this school provide a safe place to reveal their true selves and to learn how to control their extraordinary abilities. To the realm of the supernatural the institute is a safe haven, but no safe haven lasts forever.

Each year an unknown identity chooses who will be attending the school. But unlike most schools you don’t send in an entry form or request entry, no, instead you simply receive entry. Each student receives a message, in a method guaranteed to catch their attention, and in this message is enclosed a date, place and time. If said student is able to reach their intended location on the date and at the time intended then they are guided to a secret entrance that is only accessible by presenting the method in which they were contacting, whether it be a note, a coin, etc. , it will automatically open a gate only visible to he wielder and transport them into the main grounds of the institute.

Once arrived, the students are greeted by automated messages that indicate that they are to proceed to the dining hall where among the rows of long tables rests a folder inscribed with their name. Within each folder lie the essentials they will need to navigate the school and their classes, including a map of the school, an introductory pamphlet and their class schedule along with their dorm numbers. Each dorm room sleeps four students who are mixed between new and returning though are separated by gender as most schools are.

Unlike most boarding schools the institute does not have a dress code and isn’t too picky when it comes to physical appearance as long as it is appropriate. As with most schools violence is not tolerated and is enforced strongly when it involves magical talent.

Rules are the same as most Roleplays
No over-powering your character
No using OOC information
No godmodding

If anyone would like to play the Head-Master/Mistress, just ask. I myself don't really want to take that role, though I will if absolutely necessary

Odin

Name: Odin 'Beasty' Steme

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Race/ Species: Beast-lord

Abilities: Beast Morphing. Odin possesses a beast soul, this allows him to morph into any mystical or non-mystical animal or creature at a whim, though he prefers humanoid creatures. At the moment, he has only perfected four forms. These four forms being: A Lyon, a humanoid lion-like creature, a snapper, a crab-like being, a scorpion beast and his last, and most powerful transformation he gained by slaying a truly terrifying being known as the magma giant. . Odin can morph into any other creature he pleases but either has to consume the soul of a creature or create his own form, modeled after a creature, though this takes extensive practice and energy. It also helps if Odin comes into contact with the creature. The downside to this ability is that if Odin stays in one form to long the personality of the animal may carry over. Say Odin had taken the form of a large feral cat. If he were to stay in this form for an extended period of time, he would become more aggressive and commanding.

Earth manipulation: Odin's mother was an earth spirit, therefore Odin has the potential to manipulate the earth and other natural materials on a planetary scale. Though, this would take hundreds of years of experience. Currently, Odin can only do small things, such as create small shields out of stone or make a simple golem out of wood and dirt.

Partial shift: Odin is working to develop this skill. This would allow him to only morph part of his body to give him the abilities of an animal. (E.g. Wings, fins, elongated teeth) As of now, he is only able to grow a tail, small claws, wings, and cat eyes, allowing him to see better in the dark.

Low-level telekinesis: As said previously, Odin's mother was an earth spirit. One of the abilities that she possessed was the power to manipulate the air in swift, sharp movements. This allowed her to push, lift, or even crush and reshape items. This ability was passed down to Odin, though it is extremely hard to use, as it drains him rapidly and can even cause physical and mental torment.

Position: New Student

Appereance:

Personality: Odin is an odd person. He watches the people around him and tends to slowly make connections. He is usually made fun of, he has no real friends as he has been wandering for the last year.

Weapons: The last gift that Odin received before leaving his father's kingdom was a necklace with a pendant in the form of a coin his father had said that the pendant would help him out of many a situation, and not long after Odin left the kingdom, he confirmed this. The coin on the pendant had the ability to take four different forms, a 7.2-foot scythe, a shield made of pure Cesien gold, a metal that can absorb and discharge ambient magical energy, a 3-foot short sword, and a 19-foot bullwhip.

Weapon Forms

Scythe

Short Sword

Cesien Gold Shield

Whip

Pets: None.

History: Odin's father is the great beast-king Ekdevile, this is what grants him his beastsoul. Odin's mother was an earth spirit, an entity tasked with keeping the earth alive and healthy. Only three of these entities can exist at one time. His mother gave birth to him in Ekdevile's kingdom, Vasaade. Odin lived a good life up to his sixth year, when war came to the kingdom. A jealous god by the name Nayura brought his frozen, undead armies to the gates of the kingdom, there was a great war that lasted six years, in this time Odin learned how to fight with great skill. Finally, there was a final battle, with His father, mother, and the most powerful of the royal beasts on the front lines. The undead threat was finally dispelled, but.. His mother was killed in this battle, by Nayura himself nonetheless. After this Odin stayed with his father and trained with his abilities for a year, he left the kingdom with his father's permission shortly after his thirteenth birthday.
