the Setup
At Ipswich Academy boarding school, students enrolled are just like everyone else. Only, all the students are in fraternities. But, these "frats" are different from your typical Greek Housing. These special housing groups were actually created around ones' species. You read that right, species.
Sons and daughters of different factions of witches (like Wiccans), warlords (dark mages), vampires, werewolves, psychics, and anything imaginable, and, of course, a human or two. However, all the students enrolled in the school act and look as humans because, should they be caught using their powers or in their true form, they would be expelled, or worse... killed.
Ipswich Academy, the religious private school, seems to attract just about everyone. Yet, only those with superior grades and service are accepted.
More About the School
Ipswich Academy is an old school that's been open since the Salem Witch Trials. Some say the place is... haunted.
Its mascot is Salem the Black Cat.
Once accepted into the school, the first day on campus is spent sorting and separating students into their proper housing groups, or, as the school calls them, their clan.
The slogan is... "Home to the supernatural talents of some of the world's finest minds!"

Living in the boarding school, especially a religious one such as this, can be rather boring. However, when students began disappearing and appearing dead days later, the students begin wishing that the school had remaining boring.
But, out of fear, the students stayed at the school as they waited for police, teachers, or advisers to tell them otherwise. Some of the students are getting impatient and are ready to take matters into their own hands.
So, to deal with the unease amongst the clans, a game was implemented amongst the students. The rules are simple, don't tell the faculty and don't die. However, the latter is the problem. Can werewolves and vampires really get along when each clan begins to blame the other? Will the students discover that there is more than meets the eye? Will rules be broken?
The tension is growing and things are getting out of hand. If someone doesn't start confessing soon, stuff might start going down. Now, it's only a matter of time before someone snaps and the secret identities of the students are revealed.
Your powers are to be restricted to using them in your frat house, with those like you, and alone, or in situations of extreme danger, without the knowlege of the faculty or other fraternities

A maximum of 40 roleplayable students are allowed at the school. In reality, there are about 200.
There are about seven teachers:
Science
History
English
Math/Statistics
Latin
Religion
Psychology **Note all students attend all of these classes five days a week for about an hour.
A single doctor lives on campus as well as a nurse.
The headmaster is also a key man at the school as well as their one janitor.
The Wiccan:
Those who belong to a religious belief of being one with Nature and never harming others. The Wiccan are generally women, who are more in tune with Mother Nature, although males do exist. They practice White Magic.
The Vampires:
The children of the night. They have a tendency to drink blood, but not all of them depend on it for their survival. They are creatures who prey on the life force of others, and have the capacity of turning others. They are rather sensual beings whose strength, speed and power surpass humans.
The Werewolves:
The berserkers. They are turned or descendants of those who can shape-shift into wolves. They have super-human strength, speed, stamina and incredible self-healing abilities. They tend to be brash and impulsive.
The Psychics:
Indistinguishable from normal humans except for their uncanny abilities, which include but are not limited to seeing the future, telekinesis, telepathy, and seeing spirits. They tend to be of a reserved nature, and easily influenced by their powers.
The Humans:
Just your average humans, their parents placed them in this school for religious reasons. What could their purpose be in this magical place?
The Wizards/Warlocks:
Sons and daughters of prestigious clans, magic runs in their veins. Their abilities are as diverse as summoning demons to fight for them, to controlling the elements, to a certain control of time and space. Physically, though, they have the same abilities as your average human.
The Plot so far:
Things have gotten off to a wild start here at Ipswich! Not even the first day of class, and there's already trouble. Students were now in an assembly, to determine which house they would belong into. However, as the second person was being sorted, there was an attack on the school by gun-wielding enemies. However, the school guardians and grandsons of the principal of the school, quickly took care of it. As the sorting went on, there was a rowdy bunch making a bit too much noise, and calling a bit too much attention, which made the brothers take care or the troublemakers, giving them detention of sorts and finishing the whole sorting! Now the students are being sent to their rooms and the first day of class is soon to begin.
There are a total of five to six people living in each of the select houses (vampire, werewolf, warlock, etc.). Some students are privileged enough to get their own room (upperclassmen - so 11th and 12th graders), while others have to share. The room sizes are either single, double, or triple. You can request any of them, but you usually don't get a say in the matter.
Each of the houses comes fully furnished and has two and a half bathrooms (one male, one female, and one shared). There is also a large living room and study area as well. The kitchen is set up bar style, with no actual table aside from the coffee table in front of the couch.
After the welcoming ceremony, the students were sent home. Why? Well, during the ceremony some punk attacked and some other students decided not to pay attention. Annoyed, the brothers ended the assembly.
During that time, Varick is bitten by a vampire and later passes out, ending Deka's plans for that evening - seeing Hikari in private. With all events coming to an end, everyone went to sleep.
The next day (the first day of classes), starts off odd for Varick. Lawrence is sleeping with him. Embarrassed and late to class, Varick forgets to put on a shirt. Oh, and while that is all happening, Jason, the math teacher, just up and leaves! Varick, who is soon put on the spot by his classmates is now bright red. Lucky, the brothers are nearby and Lawrence offers him his shirt. Now topless, the females (and males) in the class drool over his body.
Meanwhile Deka is playing with Ri. Teasing back, Ri pulls a trigger which causes Deka to attack her. Finally out cold, Deka is taken away to cool off. Only, he comes back. Annoyed with Ri, Deka is ordered to go with the twins. While with them, Deka gives Hikari his first kiss - ever! Upset with himself, Deka runs away. He wants to die, and, to his luck, Hikaru ends up threatening to kill him. Sadly, Deka passes out and a pissed Lawrence sees everything.
While all this drama is going on, Vira and Prince are getting feisty. Prince even confesses that he's going to marry her. After saying it, he shows the girl his true wolf form. Practically squeeing, Vira continues to fall for the handsome brother.
Anyways, back with Deka/Lawrence/twins, more drama is going down. Now, Deka is fighting to protect Kari from Lawrence. Once both the brothers are cooled down, Lawrence and Hikaru take Kari to the nurse. While she is resting, Lawrence speaks with a fellow vampire and Hikaru is wandering about. Deka, who had vanished for a bit, comes back and falls asleep beside Hikari.
Oh, so about Ri who was assaulted. Varick's with her. Varick and her talk about life some and Varick then offers to help find Ri a mate. While discussing who he'd recommend, Aidan shows up. He was just one of the men Varick suggested. Coincidentally, Aidan and Ri do have things in common and Aidan even apologizes for Deka's poor behavior. But when Mika joins them, Aidan starts discussing the up and coming dance that is happening that Friday.
As you can see, a lot has happened and it's only 15 minutes past 10AM! Oh the drama!
April 23 @ 9:28AM
SPOILERX
The day has just begun, well, not really because it's roughly 6:45PM, but still! The students have just finished up their giant feast and were introduced to their headmaster and his grandsons - the school's guardians. As students were being called forward to be separated into their houses, evil twins decided to try and expose the guardians for what they really are. But, Prince's distraction allowed Ace to quickly thwart the attempted reveal.
All the students, well for the most part, were impressed by the skill and speed of the brothers. It was just a cool event to witness. Nonetheless, Juri (the school nurse) is continuing the sorting process. When a student's name is called, the come forward and stick out their right hand (palm facing upward). Ace, youngest of the brothers, then reads their palm and sorts them based on something unknown to the students (they sorted according to species).
All of the students are accounted for... well, minus Mika and Varick. Varick is taking his new friend to her place, although, she's only wanting to suck his blood. Poor Varick! Luckily, Lawrence (the eldest brother) is onto Mika. Too bad he can't go outside yet....

Hello everyone, Wavikz here! All right, so I'm sure you're all wondering why the students are being called into an assembly. Right? If not, cool! But still read this post. ^^
So here's the reason. Prior to being accepted to Ipswich, all students received a letter that stated the following...
Dear interested student,
Congratulations! It is an honor and privilege to welcome you to our humble school. We hope that our classes and atmosphere will help with your growth and maturity.
However, we know your secret. That's right, we know you have a special... supernatural power. Should you be caught using this power or found in your true form, you would be expelled.
Please refrain from exposing yourself to other students. Your identity is to be kept a secret.
As you all know, just about everyone is finding out someone's powers. Now because of this, the Headmaster is worried about the deaths on campus. When students began disappearing and appearing dead days later, the Headmaster can't help but wonder if these misfortunes could have been prevented if students didn't find out about each other.
To make matters worse, Mitch Yasui has received a count from Ace that the missing/dead toll has increased from 5 to 13 just since the beginning of school. With his nerves reaching their max, Mitch is afraid he might have to close down the school. Unless one of the brothers is willing to step up and take some serious action. Unfortunately, Deka has his own little secret - he believes he has killed 5 innocent people so far. Lawrence too has a few secrets he doesn't want to reveal. Because the guardians are keeping secrets from one another, it is only natural that the school should have issues.
So, what will happen at Ipswich? Well, that's where you, the students and/or faculty come in. Mitch believes that vampires and werewolves will always hate each other. He is also a firm believer that Wiccans, Warlocks, and Psychics are moral enemies too. Because of this, he is preparing a closing address. But perhaps the students can change his heart and prove that maybe, just maybe they can overcome their differences and stand together to ward off or even fight the evil that plagues their very school.
Each clan has their own sets of rules, about how they behave to the world, and what rules their decision-making, and even what they think! Learn about how your clan thinks, and try to follow their morals! But remember, no matter how much your clan influences you, you are still an individual!
Werewolves
Pack animals by nature, they are not afraid to risk their lives for the good of their families. Those close to them are of most importance to them, even more than themselves, but don't expect much mercy if you're not part of their world. Their mortal enemies are the Vampires.
Vampires
Living in eternal "Carpe Diem", they care more about themselves and their enjoyment than anything. Not the most social of individuals, its quite hard to have a deep relationship with them, but the few who do manage to get truly close are deeply valued. Their mortal enemies are the werewolves, but they do tend to look down on Psychics, seeing them as glorified humans, and usually don't think much of humans either.
Warlocks
As Machiavelli would say, "the end justifies the means", the warlocks are trying to make the world a better place, whether in the best or the worst of ways. They are quite the scientific bunch, sometimes a bit too much, and have their priorities a bit jumbled. Can be quite social or not, but be careful, as most tend to forget people are people and not just subjects. Opposites in beliefs to the Wicca, they don't really get along with those "tree huggers". They also think little of the Psychics, just like the vampires do.
Wicca
Trying to live in sync with the rest of the world, they always look for the "greater good." The greater good they look for is for the world, not necessarily humanity. They are forbidden to take lives, and value even the lives of bugs. The most sociable of the species, they like to make friends. Opposite to the Warlocks, they don't really get along with anyone who forgets the values of life. They get most along with psychics.
Psychics
The closest to regular humans, they hold quite the spiritual beliefs. Combining elements from most major religions, they do believe in God, and in doing to others as they want done to them. Not as radical as the Wicca, they place human lives above everything. They get along best with the Wiccan, and are underestimated by most species.

Sophia walked down a small hallway towards her dorm room. she could here her footsteps echoing off the walls, as if she was the first one there. when she got to her room she opened the door and dumped her bags on the ground "so this is where I'm staying"she whispered, breaking the silence.She looked around her room, it was huge. She hoped that she would get a room mate as otherwise she would get bored too easily. she opened her first bag and started to hang posters on the walls.
Walking through the dark hallway Mika felt right at home. She skipped through the hallway towards to where her dormitory was with a bag in one hand and her black umbrella in the other. She twirled her umbrella and straightened out her nice, black,lacy dress.She stopped in front of the door with the room number that was on the piece of paper she got when she first got accepted into the school.She went to open the door but it was already halfway open,so she took in a deep breath and pushed the door open all the way.
She saw a girl hanging posters on the wall. "Uhmm hello..." Mika said shyly as she put her umbrella and bag down. "Im Mika... I guess were gonna be roommates huh?"
Mika walked over to the girl and held out her hand."Whats your name?"

((Just an FYI, your roommates are based off of your species and you live in a house offset in a location that suits you. I'll explain this later in one of the reserved posts. :)))
Kara looked reluctantly at the slip of paper containing her house and dorm number. She didn't want to be here and more then she wanted to be what she was. Looking up at where she was to live she put on her best fake smile and walked in. "hello" She called out and waited a second before calling out again. She shrugged and assumed no one else was in before walking up the steps to her dorm room.
((Nah, you can keep it like that. I'm sure we'll get more females under that category. For now, just assume she's ignoring you. XD Oh, and I'll tell my partner. :)))
Juri, the school nurse, was bouncing around checking in on all the students. Varick was beside her. "Why don't you inform everyone that there will be a school meeting in the main lecture hall?" Her red hair whooshed into his face as a harsh wind pushed at them.
"Oh... okay." Varick nodded and walked off to find the new arrivals. Some of them were new, but there were others that were returning students. He looked at a list in his hands. Marco and Sohpiya are the newbies here. Hikaru and Hikari are older, but this is their first time here. Hmmm... are they twins? That's a weird pairing. Hikaru. Hikari. I hope I don't mix them up! Flipping the sheet over, he saw more names. Wow. Everyone is just about new this year.
Varick sighed and knocked gently on the first house - the Descendants of Sybil. "Hello?" He pushed open the door and saw no one. Shrugging, he tagged a note on the door. 'Meeting in the main lecture hall. MANDATORY! Moving onward, he skipped to the Descendants of Cain's place. Knocking again, he opened the door. "Hel... oh, hello!" He gave Mika a warm smile. "We have a meeting in a few. Finish up and then meet in the main lecture hall. You really can't miss it. It says, 'MAIN LECTURE HALL.'" He snickered and pivoted around, but only to run into Juri.
"Oof... oh, hey?" He blinked at the female before him.
"Hey there sweet thing."
"Ummmm, hi?"
"Headmaster wants to see you. Not sure why. I'll be finishing up your job."
"Oh?" Varick shrugged, but was still trying to have a conversation with Mika. So, he stayed.
It took Mika a while to notice she was being ignored. She then heard from the back of her head Tora's voice,"How rude! If she was a human she'd be dead meat in a second!""Tora that's not nice!" She whispered back to herself as she hoped Tora would be nice to her roommate if she got hungry for blood.
She then sensed someone walking towards the room and jumped when the person walked in. She turned around to see a guy in the doorway. "Oh hello!" She said as she smiled back. "Thank you ill go down in a bit." She decided to try and make a friend out of this opportunity and she put out her hand once again hoping she would not be ignored this time."Im Mika Nanayse, and you are?"

Hikari and Hikaru walked along the hallways, still carrying their luggage and completely lost.
"Hi-kun! I told you we should have gotten help!" Hikari was whining to her older twin brother. It was all due to the fact that he didn't want her to ask directions!
"I'm not letting you ask those idiots where we have to go,"said Hikaru, feeling uncomfortable whenever his sister was near boys. He couldn't help being the jealous older brother, especially when his dear sister was such a space case that she never got the troubles she was getting himself into. You cant trust kids even in a religious school.
With puffed cheeks Hikari kept going. "Hi-kun hidoi! Ah! Look! There's someone over there!"
And with that Hikari ran off to find someone to guide them, with Hikaru not far behind.
Kara went up to her dorm and opened it casually since there was no one around and set her things on a near by desk. She looked around her new room and spotted the bed first. Her shoulders dropped as she noticed there was only one. Kara didn't want to be alone in the house and especially her dorm but she sucked it up and started to unpack her small and only suitcase.
Standing in the dorm room she had had last year Thyme let a smile grace her lightly glossed lips. Yes it was good to back at school, though she loved her parents, the brunette always felt more at home here. Dropping her bags down on the floor she slowly started to set-up her side of the room. The neon orange comforter set was the first bit of color she aided fallowed by pillows and her stuffed fox clover else. Setting up her books and posters came next. . So far it was shaping up to look just like it had last year, and female Wiccan was a creature of habit if nothing. She had to finish up here then move on to the lecture hall for the opening meeting. She also wanted her room set up before any of the others showed. By then it would just get crowded and loud and while she loved her other wiccan very much she wanted a moment of peace before classes started.
Arriving at the house of aleister for the first time will was kind of nervous but not to badly he used a very simple levitation spell to carry his things behind him. "Hello is any one here" he said as he entered the house which he felt right at home. Walking around he felt that he should find a room then noticed a posting in the kitchen and that he would be allowed to have a single if he chose to. Picking up a quill he put his name on the singles list then found a room with only a full size bed and unpacked his things with magic of course including a very complex monitor system that includes a total of 8 monitors.
Jason looked around campus and noticed someone that looked like staff "Umm excuse me but could you direct me to the head masters office, speaking to juri "I am a new hire to the academy and would like to know where i will be living while i teach her." Jason then noticed varick not saying anything but knew immediately that he was human. Jason then looked back at juri waiting for his answer.
((wow you gals post fast))
