Hecate Academy for Higher Learning

• PRELUDE
• OUR STORY
• RULES

  I. In the beginning, there was one. Her true name has become unknown after so many years, so many eons, but we recognize her as Hecate. Goddess of the Witches. It is from Hecate’s will that we, the witches of Salem, live. Her power lives on through us. It is through our actions that her legacy persists.
  
  II. In Salem the real witches were we three: Elizabeth Parris, Mary Walcott, and Abigail Williams. We cast the accusations on other heads to preserve our own. No one thought the wiser, and our progeny grew strong with Hecate’s blessing. Through our protection, true magic was safe kept.
  
  III. For the good of witch-kind, we will do what it takes to live on. Live on through our daughters. Live on through the plagues of mankind. ​

  These are the three oaths of the Parris-Walcott School for Extraordinary Girls. This Academy, housed in New England, takes only the most prestigious of potential witches under its wings. The headmistresses, born from the pure blood of the Walcott bloodline and the Parris bloodline, promote next-level education and exemplary examples of their protegees. For almost two centuries, this school has withstood catastrophe and potential ruin. Witch-hunters of the North have attempted to tear down the school, and wipe out the girls within. Nevertheless, the school persists.
  
  But our story is not about this school, nor its perfect girls.
  
  Blythe Walcott, the daughter of headmistress Marie Walcott, petitioned about six months ago for a change to the system. Blythe, fed up with the elitist mentality of her family and its legacy, asked for a charter to start a school in the south. Married to a southern man, Blythe was privy to the discrimination and the lack of support of witch girls there. She’d seen the worst of it, and had felt at least six girls in the city of New Orleans alone with powers. Her mother and her aunt laughed, but granted her the charter. They expected the Parris-Walcott standard to be upheld, but Blythe had an ace up her sleeve.
  
  She was prepared to accept all girls, regardless of ‘bloodline’. Whether they be voodoo, hedge magic or Salem witchblood, Blythe wanted to educate all. In her heart, she knew it was beneficial for witch-kind.
  
  Her family gave her little to no funding for this venture, perhaps having smelled her treachery, and Blythe was left to scramble pennies to buy an empty estate, deep in the heart of Louisiana. So she opened her school, the Hecate Academy for Higher Learning.
  
  But, despite the best intentions that Blythe Walcott has… evil lingers in the horizon. Opposing forces make their presence known, slowly.
  
  Witch-hunters.
  
  Rebel Witches.
  
  And something else entirely...​

  I dont need to say them explicitly, but follow the site rules. Follow kindness for fellow players. This roleplay I hope to attract people who are interested in telling a story; not just playing a character to a pre-charted plotline. There are some elements that I want as an overarching plot, but I want us to devise things to do, things that can happen, and our own unique environment.
  
  If there's enough interest garnered I'll make a Lore summation and open up the apps.
  
  Thank you for your time!
  
  note: roles I will be considering for this include; young witches of Hecate Academy, witch-hunters of Ozwall Private School (all male), a few teachers for Hecate Academy, and perhaps some faction-less characters. If you've got ideas, hit me up as well! ​

Would it be possible to pair up with a player playing a Witch and play their Familiar?

 

[dendygar]

I'M IN, BABY!

I'd prefer someone playing their own witch. The academy girls would be too inexperienced to have a familiar.

 

[Kimby]

interested!

i've edited the first post to include a bit of what i'm looking for character wise

 

[Mook-LandStrider]

I like it, consider me interested
iZie_b00 Thought this may interest you as well.

Interested

What's the age range for those attending the academies? From your lore about it being higher-level education, I assumed it to be highschool age or even college-age like in the show Magicians.

that's what i was thinking! probably like a high-school/college hybrid. Anywhere from 16-20. It'd probably be like a four to six year education, depending on how long someone would take to be educated and ready to take on the world. Because ya know, hunters. (yikes, scary).
I've got some lore about witch presence in modern media, a bit close to True Blood with coming out, and some clashing with human society. The more education the better, so that the witches don't burn down the entire world and are deemed 'intelligent' enough to live in society without issue.
Obviously there will be and have been issues haha (became a tangent, whoops)

Awesome! That'll def give me a better idea for my FC. Interesting take you have there about the mix with modern times, excited to see this come into fruition. Do you think there will be room for modern technology and magic to mix as well or would that be taboo?

 

[Melomania]

Hello! Consider me interested, seems like a really cool idea!!

i plan on it being in today times, so technology could be quite the competition for witches. A good way to hide them, but also a good way to find them (to the hunters). So far there are no augmentations that would amplify powers or inhibit them... but time will tell.

Hi everyone! Thank you for interest!!!

I've been working on lore for the past few hours and that's nearly done. It's not as extensive as I would like but my eyes are crossing from research by myself. I'm willing to work on it with people later but it's just going to be enough for context in character applications.

Ideally in a few more hours I'll have CS page and Lore page up with applications open

There will also be a discord, but that'll be next after the ^^

there's a placeholder code. http:/blah blah 300x450. It's a url that ends in a .jpg, so don't delete anything else but the string of code.

 

[Xcelgamer]

K thanks

 

[rainywrites]

i'm interested!!!

 

[Leon The Needled Riolu]

Do these witches have to be Human? Or can they be of an entirely different species?

 

[Shagranoz]

Would a character who secretly practices the Dark Arts be appropriate?

Human please ) this is a realistic take on supernatural elements in our world. Think American horror story coven

 

[BELIAL.]

Would a character who secretly practices the Dark Arts be appropriate?

If they are older yes; girls from Louisiana that are invited to the school shouldn’t have a sense to their abilities.
