Fandom Salem High Character Info and Sheets

[Becca's Bliss]

Overview


Halloween is just around the corner. At Salem High, this means many things: homecoming, a fall festival, the occasional prank or two — you know, normal high school stuff. But Salem High isn't a normal high school. Not by a longshot.
1895- Salem Academy of Witchcraft and Other Magicks is founded by Abitha Lawrence, a young wizard, in order to provide an education to witches, wizards, sorcerers, and other magic-wielders without interference from humans.
1921- The Supernatural Non-discrimination Act requires magic schools to permit all supernatural students, given that they have physical forms and able minds, to attend classes, regardless of species.
1967- The case of Gomez v. Brown rules that all magically-attuned humans, such as wiccans and mediums, should be considered honorary members of the supernatural community.
2009- Salem High begins admitting non-supernatural students as part of an effort to eventually merge the supernatural and mortal communities.
The supernatural students of Salem High weren't particularly happy when they found out humans would be attending their school, but most of them got over it pretty quickly. Over the past few years, the two groups of students have coexisted with very few altercations. A few of the humans have gotten suspicious of their classmates, but none of them would guess that their school was filled with monsters, some of them being descended from legendary beings like Dracula or Medusa. At least, if the humans do suspect something supernatural at work, they haven't said anything about it. However, something is going on at school —something that could affect all the students, supernatural or mortal.
September 8, 2016- A group of students went missing: a werewolf and eight humans.
All teachers and other authorities who have looked into this disappearance seem to have gone missing as well. Tensions are high in the supernatural community. Some parents have threatened to keep their children home from school until the issue is resolved. Among the humans, a few of the more suspicious ones have decided to take matters into their own hands. On both sides, there is a growing fear that they might not survive through Halloween.

• 
  They will not come back to life if the silver that killed them is removed from their bodies
  
• 
  Most werewolves tend to be social people with strong family ties and a sense of duty to those they turn

• 
  Regular weapons, while not as effective or painful as iron, can still hurt, or even kill, most species of fae
  
  
  
  Nymphs are one of the exceptions as they are also part of the mythoi family and cannot be harmed by weapons that have no enchantments or special properties
  

[*]
Certain plants and spells can be used to either attract or ward off certain species of fae

[*]
Fae wings are very fragile and are at risk of being damaged or torn off


[*]
Diet:

• 
  
  Creaturae lux often eat sweet and sugary foods, like nectars, fruits, and honey, and they have a mostly plant-based (vegetarian, but not necessarily vegan) diet

  Creaturae nox have a more meat-based diet and some enjoy the taste of rotting or rancid food
  
• 
  Most species of fae can eat human food
  
• 
  Nymphs either don’t require food or they create their own food through photosynthesis
  

[*]
Common Misconceptions, Debunked:

• 
  
  The term fae was once short for faerie but now represents a variety of different species
  
• 
  Fairies, sprites, and pixies are not the same species
  
• 
  Goblins are not the only creaturae nox in the fae family, some others being pixies and certain subspecies of fairies or sprites

• 
  Nymphs are born through various forms of asexual reproduction, but are capable of giving birth to hybrid children through sexual reproduction with other species

• 
  All merpeople require constant moisturization and can fall ill by not drinking enough water or by not getting wet or using moisturizer for more than a week at a time
  
• 
  Piranha mermaids can only be harmed by items made of pure gold, which causes a severe burning sensation and drains their energy
  
  
  
  Gold alloys are not as effective, but still cause minor irritation
  
• 
  The effects of this can be weakened or reversed with silver
  

[*]
Piranha mermaids are also very sensitive to sunlight


[*]
Diet:

• 
  
  Regular merpeople have a mostly to completely plant-based diet (vegetarian or vegan), often consisting of seaweed and algae in the past, but mostly consisting of human food within the last 70 years
  
• 
  Piranha mermaids can eat regular food, but require human flesh to survive
  
  
  
  Seafood covered in human blood can be used as a substitute for human flesh, but it decreases their enhanced speed and strength and leaves them with cravings that can’t seem to be satisfied
  

[*]
Common Misconceptions, Debunked:

• 
  
  Merpeople only have fish-like tails, meaning there are no merpeople with tails resembling sharks, octopi, etc.
  
• 
  Merpeople only grow their tails when their legs absorb moisture, which means that if another part of their body gets wet or if they dry themselves off quickly enough, it won’t work
  
• 
  Sirens are not a subspecies of mermaid and are actually a species of winged people from the mythoi family
  
• 
  Not all merpeople have great singing voices, and it is considered rude to assume that they can or to compare one’s voice to another’s
  
• 
  Piranha mermaids are not a separate subspecies, but rather a genetic curse created by a jealous enchantress
  
  
  
  This curse can only affect merpeople with feminine souls
  
• 
  The curse is recessive and is about as rare as green eyes for humans
  
• 
  These are the mermaids that are often talked about by sailors

[*]
Weaknesses:

• 
  
  Elvenfolk who are not magically-attuned have no increased healing factor or healing magic
  
• 
  Trolls turn into stone when hit by UV rays, making it possible to kill or injure them simply by breaking them in the right place
  

[*]
Diet:

• 
  
  Regular human diet, with variations in recipes and food preferences between each species
  

[*]
Common Misconceptions, Debunked:

• 
  
  Elvenfolk was simply a term used to describe all subjects within an elven kingdom and was never meant to apply strictly to elves
  
• 
  “Giants” are technically dwarf giants, but true giants went extinct hundreds of years ago
  
• 
  Very few creaturae nox within the elvenfolk community actually ate humans, and the practice is almost unheard of today
  
• 
  Elvenfolk had no quarrels among the different species and did not actively seek war with humans, but they were skilled fighters and some of them enjoyed the competitiveness of war

  None
  

[*]
Weaknesses:

• 
  
  Homo hispidus have no increased healing factor or healing magic
  
• 
  Their brains aren’t quite as evolved, so they struggle intellectually
  

[*]
Diet:

• 
  
  Raw fruits and vegetables
  
• 
  A few eat insects and other bugs
  
• 
  Can eat human food, but only in small amounts because it upsets their stomach
  

[*]
Common Misconceptions, Debunked:

• 
  
  Homo hispidus are not savage creatures and are actually quite gentle unless provoked
  
• 
  Homo hispidus live in large family groups in well-hidden areas, so the ones that humans occasionally run into are either scouting for a new hiding spot, guarding something they care about, or they’re just rebellious teenagers trying to prove something
  
• 
  Bigfoot is a specific sasquatch, so other sasquatches don’t like being called “bigfeet” or being mistaken for Bigfoot
  
  
  
  Homo hispidus didn’t even start using traditional naming conventions until 45 years ago, so “Bigfoot” was more of a nickname for that specific sasquatch before he adopted it as his actual name
  
  
  
  Sasquatches now tend to have names similar to those of various Native American tribes, while yetis’ names are derived from the many languages spoken in regions near the Himalayas
  

[*]
Homo hispidus do not eat humans, or any animals for that matter, viewing it as morally wrong


[*]
Famous Figures:

• 
  
  Bigfoot
  
• 
  The Abominable Snowman

  Ghosts look like themselves when they were alive
  
• 
  Ghouls look like themselves the moment they died
  
• 
  Zombies look like themselves the moment they were reanimated
  

[*]
Powers:

• 
  
  Ghouls can make themselves look scarier and possess people and objects
  
• 
  Ghosts and ghouls can both turn invisible and pass through objects
  
• 
  Ghosts aren’t able to touch objects, but they have the ability to make their presence known by spreading their aura over something they had strong emotional connections to
  
• 
  Some mummies have a strong connection to their gods and can access their magic
  

[*]
Weaknesses:

• 
  
  Ghosts and ghouls can be forced into the afterlife if an exorcism is done properly
  
• 
  Ghosts and ghouls can be trapped within any hollow object lined with ectoplasm
  
• 
  Ghosts cannot be heard by the living
  
• 
  Zombies can be killed by destroying their brains
  
  
  
  Since mummies have all their internal organs removed, a specific spell is required to return their souls to the afterlife
  

[*]
Most zombies move slowly, either as a side effect of not having a soul or from their state of rigor mortis not completely fading away


[*]
Diet:

• 
  
  Most personam mortuus don’t eat anything, but savage zombies will resort to cannibalism
  

[*]
Common Misconceptions, Debunked:

• 
  
  Ghosts and ghouls are not the same
  
  
  
  Ghosts are creatures who died normally, but had unfinished business
  
• 
  Ghouls also have unfinished business, but died much more gruesome deaths
  

[*]
Most ghosts choose to stay invisible because they can’t communicate with the living or because they don’t need people to be aware of them to complete their unfinished business

• 
  
  In fact, the majority of ghosts with unfinished business just want to watch over a loved one for a while or something simple like that
  

[*]
Mummies are a type of zombie, but instead of a reanimation spell, they require a resurrection spell, which returns their soul to them and slowly rebuilds their body until they are alive again

[*]
Other than mummies, zombies can be reanimated by either voodoo magic or basic necromancy

• 
  
  Zombies generally serve as henchmen of sorts to the mage that reanimated them
  
  
  
  If the mage loses control of the zombie, that’s when it becomes a primitive flesh-eating creature, because it knows that it’s not complete and wants to connect itself to life
  

[*]
Zombies can only be created through magic, so being bitten by a zombie won’t turn you into one



[*]
Famous Figures:

• 
  
  Bloody Mary
  
• 
  Drury Lane Ghost
  
• 
  The Bell Witch
  

Omnium Gatherum

Magically-attuned Humans


Magic-wielding humans whose magic either doesn’t have a physical form or cannot be passed on genetically

• 
  Powers:
  
  
  
  Wiccans practice a spiritual form of magic called wicca
  
• 
  Mediums can communicate with ghosts and can see ghosts and ghouls that are invisible
  
• 
  Magicians are able to cast various spells directed through objects like wands and staffs
  
• 
  Alchemists practice a scientific form of magic known as alchemy
  

[*]
Weaknesses:

• 
  
  Magic is often dependent on spoken words or use of an object, both of which can be prevented
  
• 
  Most magic will not work without access to one’s hands
  
• 
  Humans do not have an increased healing factor, so they can only speed up their healing through magic
  

[*]
Common Misconceptions, Debunked:

• 
  
  Magicians, although very similar to wizards, have weaker magic, which is not passed down genetically
  
• 
  Empaths are technically considered magically-attuned, but they are too common and their connection to magic is too weak for supernatural creatures to risk exposing themselves to them

Supernatural Cultural Fun Facts

• 
  Most supernatural creatures only lived in a certain part of the world up until a couple hundred years ago, and much like it has become a melting pot for different races, the United States currently boasts the most diverse population of supernatural creatures in the world
  
• 
  While speciesism exists within the supernatural community, it isn’t very common, since most supernatural creatures have more contempt toward humans than each other
  
  
  
  Speciesist slurs are considered hateful and are not allowed at school
  
  
  
  Ex.: bloodsucker (vampires); mutt, dog, b*tch (werewolves); undead, living dead (vampires and zombies); midget, hobbit (dwarves); pixie (fairies); fish-breath, fish-feet, fish-face, fish-*anything* (mermaids); gremlin, toad (goblins); monster (any supernatural creature that is not human-passing)
  
  
  
  “Monster”, like many slurs in human society, has been attempted to be reclaimed by the younger generations, so that it loses its negative connotation
  

[*]
Speciesist jokes are considered funny and taken in a joking manner as long as they don’t go too far, but are frowned upon at school

• 
  
  Ex. of okay jokes: Why don’t vampires make good politicians? Because they’re afraid of the SUN; What’s a werewolf’s favorite flower? A nighthowler.
  
• 
  Ex. of bad jokes: What has two eyes but still can’t read? Polyphemus with glasses; What nationality do piranha mermaids prefer to date? I don’t know, but I hear they like Italian.
  

[*]
Interspecies relationships aren’t usually frowned upon, but having children in such a relationship is, due to the unpredictable nature of hybrid children


[*]
The supernatural community tends to be more understanding of SAGA (LGBTQ+) and racial issues than humans

[*]
Movies and tv shows depicting supernatural creatures are generally considered highly offensive to older generations, but laughed at by younger generations

[*]
Elvenfolk are very protective of each other and have the most negative feelings towards humans, since humans were responsible for the extinction of giants and the near-extinction of orcs, a species which remains endangered to this day

[*]
Places that are catered to all supernatural creatures are always required to have at least one healer in their staff, at least 20 feet of space between the floor and the ceiling, tinted windows, and a bunker room for emergencies

[*]
Some of the stranger items catered to supernatural creatures are disguised so that they can be used without drawing suspicion from humans

• 
  
  Ex.: store-bought blood can be bought to look like a juice or a sauce
  

[*]
A typical first aid kit includes bandages, a needle and thread for stitches, basic herbs and potions, an epi-pen, a bottle of water, a vial of blood, silver, tranquilizer darts, and ambrosia

[*]
Halloween is a big deal among most of the supernatural community, and they take pride in throwing the best parties and festivals

[*]
Places that cater to both supernatural creatures and humans are required to paint the bottom left corner of their welcome mat black, to stain the same corner a light blue on all their windows, and to have a sublevel for the supernatural creatures, which can be accessed by asking for the manager and giving them a white flower for “always being so nice”

[*]
Supernatural creatures are always asked to keep a lookout for humans that show the potential for magic, so they can be made a member of the supernatural community and sworn to secrecy before they draw too much attention to themselves

[*]
A human can only become a member of the supernatural community through marriage,  adoption, or giving birth to a supernatural creature, being requested to join the community by a supernatural creature who assumes responsibility for them, or by being magically-attuned




Salem High

• 
  Located near Salem Woods in Salem, Massachusetts
  
• 
  Includes three stories and one sublevel
  
  
  
  The sublevel contains classes for students that don’t look human with simple illusion magic, mostly giants, sprites, homo hispidus, and goblins because of the extremity of their height differences, or students whose parents requested that they be kept away from humans, and it also contains a small cafeteria and gymnasium
  
  
  
  This level can be accessed by a secret trapdoor outside the school
  

[*]
The first floor contains a large dining pavilion, a gymnasium, an indoor pool, the main office, the apothecary’s (nurse’s) room, a multi-purpose room, and a theatre

• 
  
  There are separate sports teams for students that don’t look human or can only play at night
  

[*]
The second floor contains basic educational and elective classes for all students

[*]
The third floor contains specialized classes for supernatural students only


[*]
Students can choose to live on campus in either of the two co-ed dormitory buildings, one of which is for supernatural students only, or they can stay at home

• 
  
  Freshmen and sophomores can room together and share a room with three other students
  
• 
  Juniors share a room with two other students
  
• 
  Seniors share a room with only one other student
  

[*]
Students are asked to customize a class ring as part of the enrollment process and are required to keep it on at all times

• 
  
  This ring helps disguise the supernatural students as normal human beings
  

[*]
Classes are given in a block schedule and night classes are offered for students who feel the need to request them




Humans


While most humans, both staff and students, are completely oblivious to the school’s secrets, there are a few humans that have gotten suspicious or are completely certain that there’s something off about everything that happens at this school

• 
  The Conspiracy Club is a detective club of sorts, where students discuss the strange goings-on at this school
  
  
  
  This club was not accepted as an official school club by administration, which only further fueled suspicions
  

[*]
The Hunters are a group of students, some of them descended from monster hunters, who are convinced that at least some of the students at the school aren’t human

• 
  
  All members of this group either hate supernatural creatures or are afraid of them, but the goal of the group remains undecided, since some people simply want to expose their fellow students, while others wish to kidnap them and run experiments on them, torture them for answers, or just kill them
  
• 
  To join this group, one must be invited to it and do a task of the group’s choosing for proof of loyalty

There may be species that did not get mentioned here. For example, I did not mention leprechauns, gnomes, dragons, yowies, or demons. If you would like to make a character whose species is not listed here, please ask me first. I might not have remembered to add the creature here. I might have gotten lazy and just not mentioned them. However, not every species, on or off this list is playable. Pixies are mindless pests who only seek to create chaos, unicorns and zombies don’t have the minds required for attending classes, and ghosts and ghouls can only be faculty due to their lack of physical forms. Some species are even endangered or extinct. Please feel free to ask me any questions, because unfortunately, I didn’t have the time or energy to write about every single supernatural character to ever exist. If you would like to play an NPC, pre-existing character, or descendant of a pre-existing character, please ask me before creating a profile. If you wish to play a teacher, you can teach no more than two educational classes, and no more than three classes total. Clubs and sports teams will be created as we go along based on your requests. Leadership positions for the Conspiracy Club and the Hunters are open and will need to be requested in your character profiles. These positions will be assigned based on whose character I think is the best fit for them.

[WolfsbaneRain]

[SIZE= 36px]Kaylen Olivia Talbot[/SIZE]


View attachment 237171


Username: WolfsbaneRain


Age: 17


Gender: Female


Species: Werewolf


Ethnicity: White


Height:  5'6"


Weight:  135lbs.


Monster Parent: The Wolf Man


Birthday: March 30th


Alignment: Neutral Good


Dorm Life: Room 202; Human/Creature Building; needs room mates


Romantic and Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual and Hetero-romantic


Appearance: Kaylen is a beautiful girl that stands at 5'6"with bright hazel eyes and dark brown curly hair. Her skin is completely flawless and free of any scars. She generally thanks her superior healing ability for this. All her cuts and scratches are healed before they even have the chance to scar. Her frame is lean but strong at only 135lbs. It seems to her that the longer she goes without killing the more the wolf wants it. It's is getting harder and harder for her to control it, so she resorts to going deep into the woods to avoid any people. While she is in wolf form she towers another foot above her human form. It's no wonder many human consider werewolfs monsters, she can only imagine how intimidating she must look covered in fur and with glowing eyes.


Personality: Kaylen takes to the natural traits of a wolf: wild, loyal and strong. But don't assume that she is too much of a beast to be friendly. She loves having fun times and giving in to impulsive thoughts. Luckily she doesn't get into trouble to often as most of her impulsive actions involve eating. It's a wonder how she's so thin. She loves hanging out in the woods and dragging other people out there with her. She is a very friendly and open person but don't mistake that for bubbly. She usually uses sarcasm and jokes to break the ice instead of just getting in your face. If you are so lucky enough to make a true friend with her you could be considered safe from almost anything. Kaylen is fiercely loyal and protective. But unlike the wolf that she transforms into she hates the idea of killing humans, especially if it's just for the rush of the kill. When she is far enough away from any potential victims, away from the need to kill, Kaylen actually enjoys the rush and thrill that comes with being the wolf. She finds the smell of the deep woods intoxicating, never wanting it to end. Kaylen is a free spirit who finds the pleasure in nature and calls it her home. Because of this she hated being cooped up in a dorm or having to sit for hours and study in school. She finds it quite pointless and take no interest in it at all. You'll find her sleeping in class or just skipping it all together pretty often.


Likes: -The woods -Swimming -Running -Eating -Friends -The wolf(most of the time)


Dislikes: -School -Bright lights -Cities -Small rooms


Strengths: -Loyalty -Humor -Increased Physical Strength -Increased Physical Speed -Increases Healing -Superior Senses


Weaknesses: -Slightly Claustrophobic -Blood lust -Bad at Schoolwork


Fears: -Murdering & becoming a Monster -Being trapped inside a room


History:  Kaylen was conceived during a clear night before her father was cured of his curse. Thinking the curse was solely on him and not on his new born daughter Larry Talbot lovingly raised her by himself, thinking he would live a happy life with his daughter now that he was free from his curse. However, he was sadly mistaken when she turned 13 and experienced her first transformation into the wolf. Fearing that she would become the monster that he was fighting for so long himself he fled with her to an excluded part of the country near the woods where they could live in seclusion away from any humans. Because of this when ever Kaylen transformed she began to enjoy the experience more and more, finally feeling like she was a part of something instead of being isolated; that something being nature and the woods. When the time came that she heard about the school for monsters she was afraid that she would have to beg her father permission to attend, but to her surprise he quickly enrolled her. Her father realized the social strain he was putting on his daughter but thought there was no way she could lead a normal life. The school was a blessing to the both of them, that is until Larry found out humans were attending as well as other supernatural creatures. But by the time he realized Kaylen was already well into her first year of school and enjoying the ability to finally socialize with people other than her father. He received weekly letter from Kaylen telling about all the new things she was experiencing. The damage was done. It would be too cruel to pull Kaylen out of school now. But after several letters back and forth, they finally agreed she would stay. Kaylen assured her father that she had a handle on her dark urges.


Relationship with Family: Kaylen was raised away from society and other people, that is except for her father. Growing up he was her best friend. They have a very close relationship and write to each other nearly every week since she started attending school. Larry often feels guilty for separating her from the world, but being at the age she is now, Kaylen fully understands why her father made the decision he did and continually reminds him that she holds nothing against her father. She sometimes thinks about what terrors her father must have gone through by enduring the curse without anyone being there for him. Her father doesn't talk about his time before being cured and she can only imagine how it must have been.

@WolfsbaneRain She looks great! I would like you to include her alignment (lawful good, chaotic neutral, that sort of thing) and her romantic/sexual orientation. I'd also like to know what happened to her mother, since she isn't mentioned at all. And you also mentioned her living in a dorm, so if you could let me know which dorm building she'll be staying in and what room number you'd like, that would be great. 0xx's are in the sub-level, 1xx's are on the ground floor, and 2xx's are on the second floor. There is one building for supernatural students only and another for both supernatural and human students
