Nearly one thousand years ago, a war started between the humans and all manner of supernatural creatures. No one can recall who started the attack. And no one really knows why. But for some reason, the creatures we call "monsters" rose up against the human race. I guess they were sick of being ignored, sick of being treated like lesser beings, sick of being hated for no reason other than their otherworldly nature.
As said before, a war broke out, though I suppose we can't really call it a war. Though humans had their weapons, guns, tanks and the like, the opposition had powers and abilities that modern science just couldn't mimic. For years, the human race was picked off until what was left of the UN agreed to surrender earth to the creatures. Humanity had lost.
Over the next couple centuries, earth's lands had been divided amongst the supernatural races, each turning their piece into their own kingdoms. The small percentage of humans left were allowed to keep and live in small villages scattered across the world.
For a time, things were peaceful. But soon, certain races were dissatisfied with what they had. Kingdoms wanted to expand and no one wanted to give up any land. Tensions began getting high.
Not wanting to have another war on their hands, Oberon, king of the elves, suggested a school where students of all races could study. A place that would accept all into its walls. And so Oriens Aeternitas was built in hopes of teaching the future generations to get along.
However, things are bound to happen if you allow anyone in.

Kingdoms:
I currently have no specific royalty for the beastmen, and shapeshifters. If anyone wants to be royalty for those kingdoms, or even for the elves, send me a pm.

One of the largest kingdoms on Earth at the moment, the Elvin race, or the Blessed Folk, have control over most of the American continents. Though called elves, this kingdom contains many of the races humans used to deem "fairies" or fae. Having both light and dark elves and fae, they are considered the most neutral race, never fully aligning with "good" or "evil". Although there does seem to be some hostility between them and the vampire race.
All elves possess heightened senses, and great longevity (up to 6000 years). Only the first generation of elves are immortal and they have seemed to have disappeared. Elves are also known for their great wisdom.
The elves are currently ruled by pure-blood elf, Oberon Cross, and his elemental wife, Gaia, second princess of the elemental kingdom. They currently have 2 daughters, 19 year old Blaire and 18 year old Rosalind.
Though the ruling family are elves, the true power behind this kingdom is the fae of the Seelie Court, hidden away from public view.
Their currency are "lief" (pronounced "leef") and comes in both a dark green paper and silver coin currency.
Elf Kingdom Includes:
- Light Elves
- Dark Elves
- Fairies
- Sirens
- Mermaids
- Gnomes
- Giants
- ETC
- Light Elves
The vampire kingdom is the second largest on earth, covering for all manner of undead life forms. They control Europe and sections of central Asia. Having lived on Earth for over 1000 years now, they no longer are weak to sunlight or garlic, though they have kept their weaknesses to silver and holy magic.
Those of the vampire kingdom also have lost the need to consume blood or flesh to survive. However, drinking human blood and eating human flesh do seem to give them immense power and regenerative abilities.
Vampires possess heightened senses and longevity (though weaker than elves), increased strength and agility (though weaker than beastmen), and limited healing and regenerative abilities (weaker than shapeshifters). A very well rounded race in terms of power, only a handful develop magic abilities as they generally lack the ability to produce mana.
The first generation of vampires are immortal but are still weak to the weaknesses of the past.
They are ruled by the Von Friedhof family, a very mysterious family who've kept themselves hidden for now.
Vampire Kingdom Includes:
- Vampires (born and turned)
- Zombies
- Ghosts*
- Ghouls
- Wraith**
- Jiangshi
- ETC
*Though ghosts are spirits from any race, once brought back, they fall under the jurisdiction of the vampire kingdom to control.
**Wraiths are spirits and poltergeists, however unlike spirits, they do not exhibit the personalities of their past selves. Instead, they tend to be controlled by negative emotions.
- Vampires (born and turned)
The beastmen kingdom span over southern Africa and Australia. Physically, they are the strongest kingdom. Though most known for their werewolves, like the royal family, they also cover a variety of races that borrow their power from their animal counterpart.
All beastmen have heightened senses, increased strength, speed and stamina, along with the ability to morph into animal form. Some can morph at will while others are affected by external conditions, like the moon.
*Nekos and similar types of -mimis are usually the crossbreed between a beastman and a human. They still have the ability to shift to animal form but lack the ability to hold a fully human form, thus the ears and tail. There are exceptions though.
**Beastmen revere 3 specific species of beastmen: dragons, unicorns and phoenixes. The Trinity. Each valued for a different trait: Dragons for their strength, Unicorns for their wisdom and Phoenixes for their resilience. Few leave their close-knit communities but it isn't unheard of for someone to wander out and live amongst the others.
Beastmen Kingdom Includes:
- WereAnything
- Selkies
- Kitsune
- Tanuki
- ETC
- WereAnything
Shapeshifters, who control northern Africa and parts of southern Asia, are much like the beastman kingdom except they are not limited to only 2 forms (human and beast). Though they lack the strength of the beastmen, they make up for it with the flexibility of their transformations, from animals to people and everything in between. Though shapeshifters usually only stick to a certain type of transforming, either humanoid, object or beast.
Shapeshifters also possess impressive healing and regenerative abilities, though few can grow major organs back.
Shapeshifter Kingdom Includes:
- Humanoid Shifters (Who turn into other people)
- Beast Shifters (Who turn into animals)
- Nonliving Shifters (Who turn into objects)
- Humanoid Shifters (Who turn into other people)
Elementals control the southern half of South America.
Elemental powers are not uncommon among the other races. Vampires who can control ice to elves that can control light to humans who can control water. Elemental magic seems to be the very basics of special abilities. So what makes one of the elemental race?
An elemental is very much in tune with their element, able to sense when it is near and some high level elementals can even see things through their element* (like dolls in Darker than Black). An elemental will also be able to heal when in contact with their element, are immune to attacks of the same element, and can even turn into their element with enough training. Their physical capabilities are equal to a human's but their mastery of their powers makes them a formidable foe.
Elemental Kingdom Includes:
- Elementals
- Sylphs (wind)
- Undines (water)
- Nymphs
- Salamanders (fire)
- Yukionna (ice)
- ETC
*This does not apply to all elements. Such as light, sound and air.
- Elementals
The angels have no land on Earth and instead are content with their heavenly kingdom. The only race who didn't participate in the war, they are generally a benevolent group and love all manner of life.
Angels have varied abilities and powers. They are weak to curse magic and cannot use it or dark magic.
They are ruled by God, but few have ever seen him. Instead, they are relayed orders by the archangels and higher ups.
Demons not only have their Hellish kingdom but also northern Asia as well. Demons are often confused for vampires as both have a weakness for holy magic, but demons do not have a weakness for silver and may not possess all the physical capabilities of a vampire.
Coming in all sorts of shapes and sizes, it's no wonder that demon powers come in all types. Though they cannot use light or holy magic.
Originally ruled by Lucifer, a revolution 30 or so years ago switched the reign of power when Barbelos, the new ruler of the demons, killed Lucifer. Lucifer had no children but Barbelos may.
Ever since the supernatural had taken over, humans had become an extreme minority and second class citizens on their own planet. For centuries, they were sold as slaves, pets for the wealthy or food sources for vampires, until around 100 years ago when each kingdom signed a treaty allowing humans their rights back. Now they live in various small camps and cities scattered around the world.

School Motto: "Enim Novis Initiis Novum Futura"
School Colors: Black, Blue and Silver
School Mascots: Grizzly Bear and Unicorn
School uniforms must be worn for each theory type class (classes that don't require any activity) at least. The school uniforms are customizable as long as it still resembles the original uniform and the main pieces were made by the school. You do not need to tell us how you wear it. I just didn't want to come up with unique outfits for all my characters.

The north wing and towers of the castle have been converted to student dormitories. The floors are all co-ed but the rooms are not.
The detention room is used to punish people who have committed capital offense or pose great threat to the school. Past the door is a sort of limbo. Constructed by advanced magic, it is a dark and cold space where all powers and magic are rendered null and with no indication of distance or time.
Classes:
General education classes are typically decided by the age of the student. However, some students can test into a higher or lower level class through a voluntary aptitude test. Due to these sort of classes being rather boring to rp, we'll need no actual teachers for them. They'll just be NPCs, unless someone wants to be a teacher. We also probably won't be rping these classes.
Math (Teacher Reserved)
English
History (Teacher Reserved)
Science (Alexandra Edgar)
Languages
ETC
Students can sign up for up to 3 combat classes. Each class is a collection of all students who've signed up for it, despite the student's age or experience. Though a student must be at least 14 ears of age to enroll.
Unarmed Combat - Teaching the basics of hand to hand combat
Swordsmanship - Swords
Archery - Bows and Arrows
Marksmanship - Guns
"Alternative Tactics" - Cheating 101
Magic (Alexandra Edgar) - For anyone with magic based abilities. Split into Offensive, Defensive, Support and Other.
Alchemy (Alexandra Edgar)
Shapeshifting (No Teacher Yet) - For beastmen and shapeshifters.
More to come once I think of them.
