Regnum - Private Secondary School of the Arts and Sciences, a place for young talents to prosper and develop. It provides top-notch education taught by some of Britain's best educators and scholars, as well as countless of activities and clubs for your child to join that will enable it to broaden its horizons and better understand this world. Some of the facilities on campus are a swimming pool, library, performance hall, TV studio, large gym, dining hall, therapy room, labs, computer rooms as well as dormitories for the different houses, given the fact that Regnum serves the purpose of a boarding institution. Our school gives your children the chance to develop their skills in the arts, crafts, languages, cultures and sciences while also improving their social skills through our various programs within the country as well as abroad.
The main building has three floors. On the first there are located the class rooms filled with different project made by the children themselves, two labs, the nursery, performance hall where we hold plays and concerts carried out by groups led by seniors, dining hall where healthy food is served so as to provide everyone with a balanced diet, restrooms as well as councillor's office. Furthermore, the second one houses the teacher's lounge, more class rooms, two labs, TV studio in which movies and projects made or chosen by our students are projected, therapy room and computer rooms that are opened at all times. On the third and last floor are situated the arts studio adorned by the various as well as wonderful works of our students, lecture room in which we hold visits by renowned individuals weekly, and the headmaster's office.
The already mentioned pool as well as gymnasium are located outside the main building in their own separate structures. In order for one to reach them there are paths from the main entrance surrounded by lush vegetation planted and grown by our own students that tend to them everyday.
The dormitories are separated into houses that are located around the school. On the right are the two ones in which the girl reside: Abeo and Basium, while, accordingly to the left, are the boy's places of residence: Callidus and Denuo.
This is Regnum - Secondary Private School of the Arts and Sciences... or at least what it used to be.
Nowadays it quite differs from its past glorious visage. The construction is practically falling apart, with the last floor being quite dangerous and covered in gaping holes all over, it would also seem that nature is slowly yet steadily consuming all - plants have began pushing through brick and tiles while moss devours corners and pillars, water has began to enter through holes and crevices, forming little puddles here and there in which float random notes, documents... the paint has started to fall off in flakes as though it was snow and the projects, drawings and so on that once were plastered over the walls as decorations of pride are now scatted around the site, dirtied, torn and faded, serving as a creepy reminder of how this sad structure used to be filled with laughter and joy. The outside isn't any better. Weeds have taken over the paths and destroyed all those plants that the hundreds of small hands had planted and gently touched. There is shattered glass on the ground near the school that looks as if it were a barrier of some sort, yet in reality those are only the leftovers of broken windows that are now all boarded up, not allowing any sunlight into this condemned place. It doesn't matter anyway, since enough rays already get through thanks to the innumerable cracks and holes. The other facilities such as the pool are even worse, the roof having collapsed in some places. And yet, somehow, there are sites left intact. Such are the library as well as one of the girl dormitories: that of the house of Basium. The decaying seems to have... spared those places, like it didn't have control over them...
Anyway, it was no surprised that the school is in such horrid shape given the fact that it was abandoned some years ago due to a chain of unfortunate events that nobody knows for sure about. What happened at this place has always been a mystery and will probably remain that way. The only thing that is for sure is that there occurred a tragedy that resulted in the deaths of many students and teachers alike. Some people say one day a kid just snapped and went on a killing spree around the campus with a gun he had somehow got his hands on. Others claim that it was the headmaster who dirties his hands and latter on committed suicide. A third theory is that some bizarre suicide happened and then others followed, as though something had possessed the students. But that is a "supernatural" suggestion... Anyway, that doesn't really matter. A conclusion to the story is not needed, the past is better left covered in a thick layer of dust, also preferably locked in a wooden chest then burned. What good will it do to dig up this god forsaken place's secrets. There are only rotting skeletons in the closet, one last scream of agony frozen on their faces. It's not going to change the fact that there were bodies adoring the school like decorations some time ago and that dried up blood can still be seen splattered around, almost like a decoration. Most of all, it will not change the public's opinion that this decaying wreck is haunted.
It all started back when a group of teens entered it in order to go urban exploring. So foolish they were, to enter a construction as unstable and large as this! Losing oneself in it is something bound to happen, while suffering an injury due to a fallen object, a hole in the floor, rotten furniture is even more possible. However, nothing of such sorts happened to the kids that had trespassed on this decaying wreck. Actually, no one really knows what happened to them. No, not because they did not return. Quite the contrary. They all made it back, dirtied and tired, with cuts and bruises, yet still alive... The only issue was their mental state. Most members of the group seemed to have... lost their mind. They did not speak or communicate, only mumbled to themselves, their unblinking eyes staring into the nothingness, past all that is material and real. And, upon the school being mentioned, they would suffer episodes of emotional instability, screaming their lungs out and begging, wheezing, barely able to take a breath. Fortunately enough, latter on some recovered. They either suppressed their memories and wiped out anything associated with Regnum from their brain, while others still suffer when thinking back on the emotions they experienced after leaving that forsaken place. Of course, some were not as lucky and ultimately ended up dead or in an institution, being monitored and cared for 24/7, not functioning as a proper human being should.

Of course, this doesn't matter as well. What happened cannot be erased. Time cannot be reversed. Yet, what is of relevance is that the demise of those teenagers, their childish deed, made others fear that school and call it "cursed", "haunted", "hell", even though the kids themselves could not remember what happened inside the walls of Regnum... Nevertheless, together with terror, there was sparked curiosity. Nowadays others attempt venturing into the site to prove their bravery, to impress, to win, to be looked up to. Some never make it out, others are scared for life and third exit as soon as they enter. No one has actually been able to stay there for over 2 weeks. But you are hoping to beat that, to survive for a whole month. All the stories about ghosts and monsters are just your average urban legends and creepy tales. There is nothing in there except decay and memories. Plus, you made a bet that involves a lot of money. It's totally worth it, isn't it?
Okay so the characters for the roleplay can be other things besides humans. This is to say there are going to be monsters and entities (harmless, helpful or homicidal). An rper can totally have more than one personage!
