EARTH- THE MODERN DAY

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

Like most days in Seattle, the weather is a mix of dark clouds and torrential downpour as the rain that descends seems to slam against the classroom lab windows in an angry fashion, sounding like a loud cracking with each connection. Ethan Miller stole a glance away from his pig cadaver that he and the class were dissecting and glanced at the window nearest him, most people were ignorant about it, but Ethan knew deep down that this was no ordinary rainstorm, some magician somewhere was having a bad day. The class instructor was droning on about the different anatomical parts of the pig, but Ethan had to struggle to listen through his noise cancelling headphones, he had to wear them or the overbearing sound of rushing blood in the student’s bodies standing around him would drive him nuts, but again he had to remind himself that this was the life he chose as a hemonancer.

Closing his eyes in a grimace, he bent over against the metal table causing his lab partner, whom he didn’t know, to take notice and then slowly others started to stare until the instructor stopped the lesson and started towards him. Usually he could push through the loudness, usually he just had to focus on something else entirely, or escape the situation, but he had already used up too many excuses and was in danger of failing this class and his dream of being in the medical field, so now his choices were twofold. The first of which was to quiet the rushing, make the blood go still, but that would kill everybody, so he just had to push through it.

Gritting his teeth he looked up to watch his instructor move towards him, but everything around him started to move so slow, it was like a crawl- he looked out the window and rain looked like little liquid comets slamming into the glass in slow motion, and then it all stopped and resting in his hand was a letter addressed to him in this very room in a peach colored envelope. “It can’t be,” Ethan spoke quietly as he opened the letter precariously and pulled out the parchment.

Dear Ethan Miller, Congratulations you have been pre-approved for selection into The Clockmaster’s University For Magical Aptitude. Upon completion of reading this letter you shall be transported to a land beyond time and space known as The Immortal Hills. There you shall be joined by others with similar auras as yourself and go through our rigorous interview process before you are to be greeted by The Grandfather of Time, The Clockmaster himself Alus Arador. This is a boarding school, where you will learn and live and create a life for eight years in the Immortal Hills, but in reality only five minutes shall pass upon your transportation, and all educational materials will be provided for you. Once more, congratulations on your selection as only eight million people (or Maggies that normies call us) have any sort of magical aptitude. See you in a moment.

Your Homeroom Teacher, Ms. Monik Maglon

When he finished reading, Ethan looked up and watched in awe as the world around him started to melt away like an old oil painting only to be quickly replaced by sand beneath his feet, the sound of an ocean behind his back, a stone staircase leading up the hill facing in front of him, and above him the sky was nearly clear with but a few clouds. It felt warm and quite save for the ocean, and as he looked up, he looked in amazement at the yellow Sun and the blue Sun shining their light into the morning sky. In the next moment, he watched as other individuals blinked into existence.

Hello all and welcome to my interest check. This is an idea I've had cooking for awhile and will be styled in an adventurous slice of life university for young adults (in the story, but it would be preferred if you were an adult too) where students aged 18-25 will be going to a magical boarding school. Said students, since this is set outside of time and space will be from 1880’s to modern time. So you could be a wizard gunslinger from the wild west if you so wanted to. As a quick side note, I’m going to try and steer this roleplay towards a “no wand, no pond” setting, just a catchy way of saying it’s not at all like Harry Potter.

I am also open to lore additions or story ideas, I want this to be a democracy, but I do have a skeleton of a story. Also here is the list of classes you’ll be taking

Alchemy- Potions and other magical brews that enhance your abilities

Ancestral History- This is like a world history class, but it’s going to be more about the history of magic and each character’s lineage

Enochian Language and Literature- This is basically like language arts class, but for the origins of magic where you will learn to speak and read magical words

Artificing Workshop- Here you will make objects of power, want to make a flaming sword that when you cut your opponent you cut their soul? You can. You want to make an armor that absorbs magical energy? You can. There are no limits so long as it doesn’t break the game or the story

Magical Civilization History- Every civilization in history has some kind of magical idolitry, and we can make other stuff up too

Conjuration- In this class you’ll learn to create anything from a grain of sand to a loyal follower, or maybe an entire cosmos if you get powerful enough

Technomancy- You'll learn to use electronics and magic together, the nerds in the school love this class

Anti-Dark Magic Defense- It's like Defense Against The Dark Arts, but harder and deadlier and you even learn about dark magic

Magic Of The Green- You will learn to connect and strengthen your bond with the world around you, spread your aura to every bit of plant-life that you can

Defense Against Eldritch Horrors- The eldritch gods exist in this story and it is this class’s responsibility to teach you not how to fight Cthulu, but survive

Counseling- Not exactly a class, but at some point your character will get PTSD from something and this is where they go

Evolution Of Magic- Magic is always evolving in a fluid like state, this class teaches you the ways you can currently use your magic, as well as ideas for future use

Musical Magic- If you saw Doctor Strange 2’s music fight scene, that’s example of this class’s applications but it is also like the school band

The First Response- This class is about emergency and field battle medical care, not everyone might be gung ho about fighting so we need some medics in this world

The Art Of Illusions- This class is about learning to identify, cast, and protect against illusions while also doubling as an art class because they are considered works of art

Monster Study- Like Care Of Magical Creatures minus Hagrid but you’ll be going on field trips like a safari across The Immortal Hills with it’s different biomes

Occultism- Because this is a land outside of time and space, the barrier between the living and the dead, destiny readings and other divination like practices is pretty thin.

There will be three meals a day and a living quarters for each class teleported in

There’s also some clubs like Dueling Club and Student Council that I know of right now but feel free to make your own. That’s it, hopefully you guys like this idea.

University Of Magical Aptitude

Magic has always been a part of the fabric of our reality, it existed in the stardust of the cosmos, and it exists in the atoms that make up our persons. The first recorded magic users were in Egypt around the year 3200 BC, they were attempting to make contact with the Gods of their culture, but inadvertently let a being of untold dark power peek into our world. Around 900 BC in Ancient Greece, male philosophers and female seers formed one of the first magical societies with the aim to teach themselves and others, going so far as to travel the land, and one of these magicians had found himself in the land of Britian where he went on to teach the sorcerer who would one day be known as Merlin.



The same Merlin who would go on to mentor the famous King Arthur, who himself would perform many legendary feats, most notably pulling the sword from the stone and meeting the Lady of The Lake, but this was just a bedtime story for children. The truth was much darker, but also more grand, Merlin had an enemy that was left out of the legend, a dark and terrible wizard known as Amado D. Thoth and he would go on to become one of the darkest magical users the world would ever know. He nearly brought forth the being that the Egyptians made contact with, which turned out to be an Eldritch Horror, but with the combined might of The Knights Of The Round Table and a wizard under the guidance of Merlin named Alus Arador they banished him to another realm deep under it’s earth in a place called the Immortal Hills.







In doing so, they also needed a guardian to keep watch of Amado, so Alus made his choice and became the Clockmaster, watching over Amado for all time. As Merlin aged he came to the conclusion that other sorcerers must be trained to keep watch over this great evil and so he sent out emissaries across the globe to find others like him. Fast Forward towards the beginning of the 1900’s as an average human scientist, Nikola Tesla ran an experiment with a group of amateur magic users and discovered that each one possessed an aura.

A glow that could not be seen with the naked eye, and each one possessed a different magical aptitude, their auras were each different. It was around this time that supernatural ableism began to take root around the world and people feared those with the gift and instead of celebrated them, called them “Maggies” and herded them into their own communities. In 1905 the Census Bureau found that of the world’s population, only .01% were magically inclined, which equated to 2 million individuals at the time.

During World War 2, the Nazis formed a subsect of their military known as the Thule Society, a group dedicated to the darkest of arts with the sole purpose of subjugating the world in Germany’s image. Led by a descendant of Amado, Jakob Shulz, whose name loosely translated to God’s Sheriff, under the belief that God anointed him to raze the world. In response, the United States Military drafted and trained a group of their own magic users and christened them The United Sorcerers Of America, and wiped the floor with the Thule.





Unfortunately this was all the good will that America in particular could spare the magical community, as once the 1950s rolled around the politicians became even more fearful of the power this community wielded and created the Magician American Government Identification Charter, which would publicly out those different than the rest- much like the Mccarthy era and the red scare. The anti Magical hate had gotten so bad that they weren’t allowed in the same restaurant as normal people, they couldn’t shop in the same stores, and were even kicked out of their homes when they first displayed their powers at the age of eighteen. Then the 60s came, and all across the eastern seaboard of America african americans rose up to fight back against their own injustices and the magical individuals joined them, and this continued for several years until their leader MLK JR was assassinated at a meeting with one of the many magic user communities leaders who was also killed.

While the Civil Rights Era came and went, and the Gay Rights Era of the 70s began, it was only then that America began taking a hard look at the views they had towards the magically inclined and the Aura Unification Recognition Act was signed into law that made anti-magical sentiments a hate crime and they finally started to re-integrate into society.

Then came the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson as he did an interview with a magical individual who revealed to the world a secret that his people had kept: when a person like them turned between the ages of eighteen and twenty five, a letter would be delivered to them and transport them to another realm that taught and schooled them in many things of the magical nature, but there was a catch. For eight years they shared the school with an imprisoned monster and had to replenish the measures in place through a test, which he didn’t go into detail about, but also their time in this school would be wiped from their minds save for the skills and tools they learned, but when asked how he knew about it he teleported away and was never seen again...

Now here we are in the modern age, and a new group of students is about to begin an adventure of a lifetime...

CHARACTER SHEET

NAME

AGE- 18 to 25

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTOR (can use words, or pictures, I would prefer as close to real world as we can get, but I'm not picky)

MAGICAL APTITUDE SCALE 1-8- let's take pyromancy as an example, and this is a freshly turned eighteen year old, 1 would mean he’s the equivalent of a matchstick, he can make small flames but not much else, while a 25 year old with advanced training being a 7 or 8 could create flaming armor, or flaming constructs

MAGICAL AURA- Each character gets one school of magic they can use, so you would have to choose between pyromancy and being, say Aquakinetic

MAGICAL POWERS- This is a subset of your aura, take pyromancy again. Are you defensive or offensive, can you shoot it out like a flamethrower, or create a wall of flame

CLASS SCHEDULE- From the list I provided in the interest check, we’ll be taking all the classes, but you can take them in any order you wish, at the bare minimum it equates to three classes a day, or if you want to be an overachiever and do all 23 classes a day, it’s up to you

CLUBS- I only listed a couple, but feel free to make your own, I provided some lore in my worldbuilding, use it how you wish

Quick sidenote on the character sheet, if two players want to, they can be relatives or get into a relationship. I'll leave this bottom bit here for notes and stuff, but remember this is a democracy and i'm willing to work with people on ideas and such so the most important rule is to have fun :)
