  Introduction
  
  The Isles Of Hope, also known as Anivila, are unique islands blessed with unique half-animal people, the only inhabiting race. They are all born with minor magical abilities(Secondary Powers), but occasionally, they are gifted with an elemental power, and these rare creatures, are fated to become great fighters, trained within the Elemental Seminary, an important academy. However, they are not trained for fun, they are trained to combat the darkness enveloping the world. Demons, forcing their way through to this world and ripping portals through the realms, are threatening to destroy everything in their entirety.

  Anivila/The Isles Of Hope – General term for all of the islands, an independent area away from the other countries.
  
  
  Zephire – Medium Isle to the East
  
  
  Verica – Largest Isle to the South
  
  
  Xonil – Medium Isle to the West
  
  
  Yevie – Small isle in the Centre
  
  
  Elphin – Country to the North West, near Xonil
  
  
  Mitara – Large country to the South
  
  
  
  
  Zephire
  
  Capital=Sicar
  
  
  Filled with tall rocky mountains and deep underground caves, Zephire is known for it’s abundant minerals and gems. Beautiful and rare gems can be found here, therefore thievery isn’t uncommon. Forests are indeed available, however, they are incredibly sparse. They mainly consist of tall trees, with only a few leaves, but many sharp branches. The towns are mainly built with stone, from the lack of wood present. Despite the barren land, unique creatures can be found here, hidden deep within underground caves, they have miraculously found a way to survive.
  
  
  
  
  Verica
  
  Capital=Veritas
  
  
  Mainly inhabited by tribes, the dense forests on the island are a key element here, used as coverage for attacks. Many small settlements are scattered around, with unique differences in each one. Despite their uniqueness, each tribe is on relatively good terms with each other, and are commanded by one tribe above all others. The trees are a lush green, filled with exotic wildlife. Vines, leaves, and branches are visible in all directions, with an occasional river to supply the water for this lively nature. However, dangerous creatures lurk around every corner, especially at night. The forest is extremely dangerous as darkness falls, even the settlements are not particularly secure.
  
  
  
  
  Xonil
  
  Capital=Dalerin
  
  
  Xonil is a beautiful land, despite the barren implications of a vast desert. It’s sand is a golden yellow, contrasting deeply with the wide but shallow light blue rivers spread throughout the isle. Exotic festivities are held routinely, explicitly expressing it’s lively, joyful atmosphere. Many merchants pass through here, eager for the large trading market Xonil contains. However, the land is very bare, apart from the large settlements around the area. There are no forests, except for a few trees randomly grown around, and not many creatures to hunt. Therefore, Xonil relies heavily upon it’s vast trading market to survive.
  
  
  
  
  Yevie
  
  Capital=Erstonia
  
  
  Yevie is mainly filled with grassy plains, but large forests are spread evenly across. A few mountains are present, but no deserts are available. It is a general island, practically an all-rounder. Much smaller than the other isles around it, Yevie is seen as a holy island, blessed by the high Gods.

  Races
  
  The only race available in Anivila, is the unique half-animal people. They have three forms, human, half and animal:
  
  
  The human form is completely human, particularly useful for blending into a human society.
  
  
  The half form is based off their human structure, but has little details from their animal counterpart.(Ears, tails, wings etc.) This is their most comfortable form.
  
  
  The animal form is completely animal, depending on what animal their counterpart is. They will be able to communicate with other half-animals whilst in this form. Food that their animal eats may also be digested during this transformation.
  
  
  Clothes and other objects are left behind as a half-animal morphs into their animal form, if they choose to occupy them at the time.

  The Elemental Seminary
  
  Combined with the wealth of all three islands surrounding it, the Elemental Seminary is a prestigious school, however, to qualify for this school, you need nothing but the power of an element and a secondary power. Despite the minor qualifications, there are very few students, as being born with an elemental power is very rare, and only occurs within Anivila. This academy is one of the only hopes of this world, with the others training different abilities in far away areas. Many demons spawn nearby, in an attempt to shut down the academy, and carry on destroying the world without trouble.
  
  
  (You start roleplaying as a new student)
  
  
  Students are of all ages, depending on when they apply and when they discover their elemental power. A dorm is situated on campus, with multiple vacant rooms from lack of pupils. Students are supplied with an en-suite bathroom, a small lounge and a luxurious bedroom. A large dining area is available 24/7, constantly supplied with food. However, eating at the proper time is recommended, to support social interaction. In class, students must wear their school uniform (Image below). In their spare time, students may head out to other islands to shop as the academy literally covers the whole island.

  Prologue
  
  (You do not have to read this for the roleplay, this is just some backstory as to why the demons have begun over-running the world.)
  
  
  
  
  On a Winter day, an old scientist, tired from overworking himself, slowly walked home. He was looking forward to hugging his dear wife and chatting with his young son. However, as he got home, he noticed it was darker, with a weirder aura than normal, and had a strange smell in the air. It was eerily silent, with no-one home, despite the fact that his whole family should have been here today. Looking through the kitchen, dining room, living room and the garden, he opened the door to the bathroom, and screamed in horror. His wife, barely recognizable with endless slashes and bruises, was lying in the bathtub, filled to the brim with blood. A note, stained crimson, was pinned to the side of the wall. ‘SHe WaS cHeAtInG oN yOu FoR sO lOnG… hOw DiD yOu NoT nOtIcE? YOU IGNORANT FOOL!’ The old scientist read the note silently, he knew his wife well… and knew her mischievous ways. He loved her dearly, nonetheless, and wanted to prevent her from leaving him, therefore never telling her what he knew. ‘People… just aren’t trustworthy’ He thought out loud with his pessimistic attitude, after realizing the handwriting was his best friend’s. Holding the note carefully, he wondered why his best friend killed his wife, but dismissed the thought. He was angry, furious even, but his emotions slowly numbed away. This sparked, his slow transformation to madness.
  
  
  Slowly but surely, his walk to his son’s bedroom was silent. He wanted to know, whether his son escaped and is free and safe, but at the same time, didn’t. His fear was pushed aside by his curiosity, as he opened the door. He regretted his decision. Body pieces filled the room, a head on the dresser, a torso on the bed and possibly a leg on the desk, it was unrecognisable from the cuts and dirty crimson patterned on. Blood was splashed all over the wall, some still wet despite the amount of time that had obviously passed. The scientist slowly sighed before a long pause. A crescendo of crazed laughter echoed through out the building, his head raised high as his pupils shrunk from madness.

  “ALL THE HUMAN RACE DOES IS CAUSE PAIN! WE SHOULD HAVE NEVER EXISTED IN THE FIRST PLACE, HA, HAHAHA! YES, I SHOULD MAKE IT AS IF WE WERE NEVER BORN INTO THIS HATEFUL WORLD!” Day after day, he researched in utter concentration . His mind set on destroying every human in the world, including himself. Demons, evil, darkness, he aimed to use all these powerful beings to destroy everything. Luckily for him, he lived in the middle of a forest, for his old research purposes, as he had been focusing on plants at the time. Nobody knew of his pain, and the destruction he would bring. They knew him as an amazingly skilled researcher, but that’s all. Eventually, after many years, his crazed research had come to an end. His notes mere scribbles, he spoke the ancient words, never said in centuries.
  
  
  A mysteriously dark portal warped in front of him. He smiled the widest smile seen in years, and eagerly sliced a thousand slices on his body. On the demonic ritual circle on the floor, blood flowed into their respective areas, and begun to glow. A shadowy monster appeared from the portal, grinning the evilest thing ever seen. The scientist smiled, he was finally free from his torment. The shadow eagerly swallowed the scientist in one gulp, gaining extraordinary powers. Cracks appeared between the realms, the powerful barrier the gods once put up, was breaking. Summoning his brethren, together they aimed to take over the world, and everything in it. They had a clear route in and out of the realms; forcefully creating holes in order to traverse freely.
  
  
  This is where you come in. Come, save the world from the darkness befalling onto it.

  Notes
  
  -Set in a medieval timeline
  
  
  -Preferably post a paragraph of at least 5-6+ lines each post, however, 4 lines is the bare minimum.
  
  
  -Usually each island is relatively ‘okay’ with each other, however in the past there have been battles between them. All of them have created a pact to share the middle island though.
  
  
  -Usually the students have a weapon, if they do not have a proper weapon, their magical abilities are greater (Such as a staff, wand or tomb)
  
  
  -The Demons open various portals all over the world, but the school’s teachers have the ability to create portals nearby to the location of the opened portal, its easier than just creating a random portal, as the demons carve the way for them already.
  
  
  -To close a portal, 2+ students must combine their powers and force it towards the portal in question.
