Her Gift: Idun Academy
Whether you've only just moved into one of the many different communities scattered about Noreshore or you've lived there all your life, there is one thing worth looking forward to for the younger citizens of the city. That is, for a certain portion of the cities young adults. It is enrollment to Idun Academy of Magics and Monsters. As a member of the hidden monster and magic capable society, you are offered the unique chance to become a student for an academy meant for and run by those just like yourself.
Humans are welcomed nowhere near campus and they are under the misconception that the school is only for the privileged. Even when they wish to investigate the school or sneak in, powerful enchantments upon the gate make them lose interest or forget their previous efforts, or at the very least dissuade them from wandering further than they should.
It is because of these countermeasures that students are allowed to roam the school free from their disguises, their shimmers. Even those that bear no monster blood but are still magic capable may engage in recreational courses to pursue further learning in regard to their affinities.
There isn't a monster in all of Noreshore that wouldn't want to apply, even if they simply seek a less restrictive environment, and after a stroke of luck you find a letter placed neatly into your mailbox.
Whether you're alone or are amongst your guardian or guardians, you open the envelope of the letter with great anticipation. As the wax seal cracks in half, you can smell magic in every fiber of the parchment letter within. The usual complex enchantments place on an otherwise less intricate piece of parchment. An enchantment that allows only those of inhuman blood to view the true contents. Any other who gaze upon the paper may see false documents for uninteresting purposes.
You open the letter fully and read the following.
Following a night of celebration, you finish the day with a bit of time on your phone. As a member of the monster and magic capable society you, as well as nearly every other individual like yourself, has access to special applications or media beyond the reach of humans. Looking through forums or posts from your favorite influencers or profiles, you notice a post from a very familiar individual.
She is a current student of Idun Academy, but she is renowned for her chattiness and the frequency of her posts online of subjects that may have only started being talked about a short time ago. Whatever the case, she is always on eye drawing topics in no time. She is a member of the Pixus species. What humans might call "fey". Her pink hair catches the light in a near hallucinatory way.
"A human managed to get into the school the other day," the post reads. "Apparently it was one of those Faithers. You know, the kind that hunted witches back in the day. Thankfully he didn't manage to get far before he was caught, but it's scary to think just how close they had gotten to seeing a student possibly out of their shimmer. Rumor has it that there's been an uncomfortable amount of sightings of Faithers and Hunters in Noreshore, so be careful out there everyone!"
The post catches your interest for a time, but soon enough the pull of sleep ebbs at your conciousness, drawing you into dreams. You succumb to the pull and soon rest for the night, the last hints of excitement for the coming semester fading until you wake.
Greetings!
Welcome to the interest check for Her Gift: Idun Academy. An rp idea that has been on my mind for many nights. I worked hard to get this interest check posted, even if nothing comes of it. I hope that you might be interested though!
I do not plan for there to be a limit to how many decide they want to join. I'll simply start the story and people can even create their own social circles if they want. Whether your character is a member of a monster species that enjoys testing their strength against other monsters of magic capable students and creates a club around such activities or if your character delves into the more occult side of magic or alchemical practices.
Whatever the case, there are many opportunities for good rp to be had in Idun Academy.
The main story will revolve around organizations with less that kind intentions for monster kind steadily making their way closer and closer to the academy and any territories meant for monsters close by. People should expect disappearances, tension and hardships as the students make an effort to experience a full and enjoyable time at Idun.
I hope that you'll throw your hat into the ring if this at all catches your interest. I look forward to having fun with anyone interested in this rp!
