Hidden away from human view, deep in the Cascade mountains, is Oriens Aeternitatis, more commonly known as Oriens Academy. Here, the students possess rather unique backgrounds and gifts. Monsters and creatures of all kinds come here for all kinds of reasons. Some wish for protection within its walls. Some come for fresh starts. Some come to hide secrets. But most come to learn how to use their abilities and integrate into normal human society. So, why not enroll and start your own stories.

So basically, this is your standard supernatural combat academy. There is no central plot, villain or storyline, so people are encouraged to make their own or join up with others' plots. With almost no limitations for characters and almost complete free reign for roleplayers, this roleplay is meant for people who have characters they've made but couldn't find rps for or those who want freedom with their roleplaying . . . Hopefully, it won't get too chaotic. Hm . . . Maybe I should implement a sort of schedule sign up . . . for the big fights at least.

So make your stories and make your villains (I know I will).

Things to Know:
  • The school motto is "Nova Enim Novis Initiis Posterus" which I'm hoping means "New Beginnings For A New Future."
  • Dorm floors are coed but rooms are not. You can choose between a single room or having a roommate. But you'll be deciding this sort of stuff amongst yourselves.
  • The school is pretty open to acceptances. They do not check backgrounds and anyone who wants to enroll can sort of just walk in and fill out some paper work.
  • Each race will be kingdoms. So royalty attending the school is okay, except for robots of any kind, angels (and nephilim), demons (and half-demons), and humans. That's because these races have no "kingdoms" on earth.
  • I will not be playing the headmaster, so whoever wants him/her can have 'em. If someone wants to be the child of the headmaster/founder, then they can, I suppose.

My Personal Rules:
  • NO METAGAMING! This is my biggest pet peeve. Your character should not be able to know things he/she has not seen or heard for him/herself. And there should be no reason for you to be omniscient. Super hearing can only go so far.
  • No gods/immortals or mechs. Demi-gods and androids are fine. But you should not be immortal or be able to turn into a giant robot. Also, no freaky hybrids. This might be picky of me but I don't really want any neko-vampire-demon-wolf-fairy thingies.
  • All site rules apply.

You don't have to be as detailed with your powers/abilities. I just make mine specific so that people can't say I'm pulling stuff out of nowhere.
Name: Lilith "Bunny" Mills
Age: "I-it's not polite to ask a woman's age, you know." (Looks about 14)
Role: Student
Status: "I've only been here a month."
Race: Angel
Appearance: Bunny has honey blonde hair and sky blue eyes.
Lilith 1.jpg
Powers:
  • Holy/Light Manipulation - Bunny is able to emit and manipulate a white light that possesses strong holy properties. Though it cannot heal, it can cause great damage to creatures of "evil" lineage (demons, vampires, etc) if not treated immediately. If not, then they will start to burn.
  • Wings - Obviously, Bunny uses her wings to fly, but she can also use them as weapons, either by hitting people with them or shooting out feathers to cause a sort of smoke screen.
Abilities:
  • Physical Abilities - Bunny has no extraordinary physical abilities.
  • Weaponry - Bunny's main weapons are her wings and a whip with a sharp silver shard at the end. She also uses a dagger.
  • Fighting Style - Bunny is a mid to far ranged fighter, preferring to keep a distance between her and her enemy because she is no good in close combat with her weak body. As most of her opponents can't fly, she uses that to her advantage and tends to stay in the air. She also makes use of sneak attacks, choosing to blind her opponent or wait for them to be distracted before attacking.
Other: Bunny loves theatre, especially musicals, though she hates gym class. She's on a mission to find a certain person.

Name: Melidianna "Mel" Lecarde
Age: 15
Role: Student
Status: "I just came today."
Race: Technically, she's human.
Appearance: Mel's eyes lack pupils and are the color of lapis lazuli.
Mel 1.jpg
Powers:
  • Summoning - Mel has the power to call forth and send back anything she can envision. Though she mostly uses this for changing her clothes. In combat, she mostly uses it to summon Scourge, a magic length of barbed wire that she can control at will. She also has a variety of "spells" based on tarot cards.
  • Blood of Gaia - This will be explained in the rp.
Abilities:
  • Physical Abilities - Mel has great strength in her legs, allowing her to run faster, jump higher and kick harder than the average human.
  • Weaponry - Mel is proficient in the use of most swords, as well as the bo-staff. She is terrible with all ranged weapons though, from guns to throwing knives to even things like spears.
  • Fighting Style - A speed oriented fighter, Mel uses a lot of kicks and acrobatics in her fighting style, modeling her moves after capoiera. She only uses weapons and her powers when cornered or extremely pissed off.
  • Poker Face - Mel has gained great control of her muscles after years of experience, so she is able to act as if attacks have had little to no effect on her. This of course, doesn't mean that they are uneffective. It is a psychological tactic to trick people into losing their will to fight.
Other: She's a serial killer, known as the "Princess of Lucifer". Though despite her title, she is no demon princess. She is a musical prodigy but terrible in all things art.

Name: Riffael "Riff" Raffit
Age: 17
Role: Student
Status: "I arrived today with Miss Mel."
Race: Riff is a demon but used to be human.
Appearance: Riff has golden blond hair and gold eyes.
Riff 1.jpg
Powers:
  • Ice and Snow Manipulation
  • Dragon Scales - Riff has the ability to form transparent, ice-like scales all over his body. These scales deflect most physical and magic attacks. It's weak against holy, fire and thin needle-like attacks.
  • Sorrow Empowerment - Riff becomes stronger the sadder he is.
Abilities:
  • Physical Abilities - Though Riff is stronger than the average human, he is still weak in comparison to Mel and Vash, especially since his strength was not enhanced when he became a human. He has great endurance though and a super sense of smell.
  • Weaponry - Riff depends more on his powers but is also known to use handguns.
  • Fighting Style - Riff is a defense oriented fighter. Though not very strong or fast, he is smart and focuses on throws and tactics that use the opponent's strength and center of gravity against them.
  • Team Medic - Riff has general knowledge of first aid and acts as the team's medic.
Other: He is one of Mel's servants. He's a cooking genius but is terrible at music and dancing.

~~~~~

Name: Vash Lilicka
Age: 16
Role: Student
Status: "Today."
Race: Vash is a human who was turned demon by Mel.
Appearance: Vash has white hair and amethyst-colored eyes.
Vash 1.jpg
Powers:
  • Metal and Magnetic Field Manipulation - This includes being able to turn into metal.
  • Anger Empowerment - Vash gets stronger the angrier he is.
Abilities:
  • Physical Abilities - Even as a human, Vash had incredible strength and stamina for someone his size. This only increased further when he became a demon. He also has excellent eyesight.
  • Weaponry - Though he has the makings of an excellent sniper, Vash doesn't have the patience for it. Vash rarely uses weapons other than his own fists. He'll sometimes use gauntlets or brass knuckles though. He is rather good with large weapons such as bazookas and missile launchers, able to fire them without suffering from the recoil.
  • Fighting Style - Vash is a strength oriented fighter and a very straight forward one as well. Adopting a boxing style, Vash tries to defeat his enemies quickly with heavy punches, elbow blows and grapples. Since he isn't very fast, he tries to end his fights rather quickly.
Other: He is also Mel's servant. He is great at art and is the worst cook you will ever meet.

They're an incredibly sharp blue, to the point of looking like contacts, with no trace of any other colour.
"You get the point."
Powers/Abilities:
Corrie can control ice. It sounds quite boring, but over the years she's learned to perfect it to the point of scary. Not only can she move ice, snow or cold winds, but she can cause it to form, without any seeming difficulty. If she concentrates, she can cause someone to freeze as well, though it takes considerable energy.

@RacingTheSunrise Accepted. Just remember that it is up to the other rper whether their character freezes or not.

@The Red Tazelwurm Accepted. Though Bliss would just be a shapeshifter. Also, the headmaster wouldn't be human, as this school is run by the supernatural, away from humans in general. So if you want Tadhg to be his son, he should be a creature or a half-breed.

Age: 19
Role: Student/refugee
Status: Four days
Race: Werewolf, thinblooded.
Appearance: Short brown hair, dark green eyes, 6'3"(190cm) and has a slender but trained body. Often wears cargo pants and sneakers with a dress shirt and vest.
Powers/Abilities:
  • Werewolf blood: Even though his biter was only 1/8th werewolf he still regenerates faster, has heightened reflexes and can infect others with his bite. Blood is too thin for actual transformation, though.
  • Enhanced perception: His sense of smell, sight and hearing is noticeably better than normal humans, but not even as good as the average dog.
  • Bad night vision: Even though his eyesight is very good, he can only see a few yards in front of him in low-light situations.
  • Magical residue: Magic energies has seeped into him, and are still completely untrained.
  • Religious background: Growing up in a small religious community and being very firm in his faith has strengthened his resistance towards holy attacks.
  • Combat style: Uses dexterity and his quick reflexes to stay at mid range (around 2 meters/yards). Attacks with claws and handguns, also magic if he learns to use it.
Other: his pack got killed off by religious zealots. They bombarded the pack's hideout with holy magic, and only Johan survived. He lay in a coma in the ruins for a few days. This is when the magical energies seeped into him.
Came to the academy to escape the zealots.

@The King's Queen

I'm quite sure that's alright. From what I can understand it's only immortals/gods, things that can turn into giant robots and over the top race mixes thread owner doesn't want.
Besides, posting the CS won't hurt. ^^

~Name~
Karou Thiago
"H-Hello..."

~Age~
16

~Role~
"I-I am a-a student..."

~Status~
"I-I've only j-just arrived."

~Race~
Neko

~Powers/Abilities~
  • Psychometry- The power to perceive the residual information of an object and/or person by using senses.
  • Illusion Manipulation- The power to create and manipulate illusions.

~Other~
Karou is terrified of thunderstorms, the dark and small spaces. She hates heights and can not swim at all. She is also really clumsy and tends to trip over her own feet..a lot.
 
@Deviant Gentleman Accepted though I fail to see how one's upbringing can make them resistant to holy attacks. I assume he'd already be fairly safe due to him only being 1/8 werewolf though. You don't have to change it.

@Dragonite777 Accepted. You can choose whenever you wish to have class since you're the only teacher so far. And students will choose when they want to attend the class.

@Rainbowwave Accepted though I have no idea why you used two different posts . . .

@The King's Queen Accepted but remember that you need the rper's permission before using psychometry on their characters. And yeah, nekos are okay.

Anyway, we've got a good amount of people now, so I guess we can start whenever I get the first post up. Either tonight or Sunday at the latest.
 
I'll mostly use Psychometry on objects, not characters.
 
What I meant was if she's going to see things that involve other people. The other rper should have the right to decide whether or not she will will find out certain things that have to do with their character, since with psychometry, it's very easy to metagame.
 
-blinks-

TIME TO CRACK OUT A CS THEN, EH?! Lol.

(Totally stealing this idea from a friend, though it is a legitimate 'myth' creature.)

Name: Nix Sonus
Age: 16
Role: Student
Status: "..." (Today)
Race: Siren
Appearance: Short silver hair with long bangs running down each side that become shorter as it comes towards her face. She has one long strip of blue running through her right bang. Her eyes are bright blue (cyan almost). She is thin and small (5'0" 97lbs). She prefers wearing sweaters, scarves and skirts.
Powers/Abilities:

  • Sing - She is able to pacify even the most tense of situations by fascinating the crowd with her songs.
  • Command - She can command people to do her bidding. At the beginning, she'll have no control over it.
  • Fascinate - This is basically like Sing but it covers instruments as well. Though her voice is her strong suit, instruments work as well though weaker and have a higher fail rate.
Other:
  • She has selective mutism. She chooses not to speak for fear of what it would do to her friends. She doesn't like having that power and she'd much rather be stronger in other areas.
  • She is from France.
  • She is resistant to Sirens and Succubuses/Incubuses.
