Half Moon Academy: Dance of Fate
“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
― Roald Dahl
Many years ago, there was a great and terrible war between the races of the world and the legions of hell, who were led by the great destroyer Shadowscythe. Through the aid of the angels of the ascent, the mortal armies were victorious, but at a great cost. And nobody lost more than the courageous humans, who sacrificed it all to defend their homeland. It was then agreed that the land in which the final battle was waged would be cut off from the rest of the world; separated so that the humans who lived there would have no knowledge of the supernatural; of the other races, of the legions of hell. And so the land was made for humans, and the other races lived amongst them, in secret. And the land of Aerth was at peace.
Then, many years later, one of the great fortresses from the great war was converted into a school, at which the supernatural beings and the humans may live together, in two separate classes, so that when the time was right they could be brought together into co-existence once more. This school was called Half Moon Academy.
And now, only fifteen years ago, a group of students awakened a dark and terrible vengeance in the catacombs beneath their school. After six long years, they finally battled and defeated the terrible Shadowscythe, destroying his body once and for all. Now these students have made their own lives, they have moved on. And so the next generation takes their place.
THE SETTING
This RP is set in the nation known as Aerth, which is on the planet called Kerectus. Aerth is the only nation on the planet where humans are basically the same as they are on Earth, except they can use magic. I.E they don’t believe in dragons, elves, dwarves etc. All things that exist.
Kerectus is a disc shaped planet carried on the back of a giant space travelling, god-like wolf. The gods are also different, because Christianity and Judaism and what-not never really took on (though they still exist, but only barely!) It should also be noted that symbols like the cross are still recognised, and people still say ‘Oh god!’
The world is in a semi-futuristic setting. I.E You should consider it a modern world, but occasionally I might mention some sort of Sci-Fi tech, such as a laser rifle. Magic and sword & bows and stuff are generally considered more useful than guns, because what use are bullets against goddamn dragons? That was a rhetorical question. Dragon always beats gun, as does rock.
Finally, on Kerectus, the religion I have mentioned is ‘true’ meaning all the gods of the Kerectian religion are 100% confirmed to exist, but again, the denizens of Aerth treat it much the same as we do; Speculation and belief.
In case I missed anything, check the totally disjointed Kerectus Universal Wiki (linked above)
THE RULES
1. Put 'equality for dragons' somewhere in your app so I know you read the rules.
2. Do not insult other members of the RP. Is bad.
3. Do not argue with mods. Is bad.
4. No OP-ness, Meta-gaming, Power-playing, etc.
5. Stop asking me where you start! School gates ‘yo.
6. Vampires are cool and all, but we don’t need 50 different vampires all being moody and emo. If you’re gonna do it, do it well.
7. CloudJhi said: “And before I forget, avoid monster orgies that result in 1/2 vampire, 3/16th Germans, 1/17th Demon Lord Overspawn, 5/7th Nosferatu, 3/4th cups of flour, and 1/19th soul of the damned.” So don’t do that
8. THIS ISN'T ON EARTH. REPEAT: THIS. IS. NOT. ON. EARTH. AMERICA DOES NOT EXIST. GERMANY DOES NOT EXIST. OTHER COUNTRIES YOU KNOW OF DO NOT EXIST.
9. You are a teenager. You cannot be the master of all martial arts and the sharingan eye.
10. If you put 'equality for dragons' in your app you will be immediately banned. This overrules the 1st rule
11. You can be any race you want, but please don’t just pull stuff from other universe. I.E you can’t be Naruto/Bruce Wayne/Satan. Dear god please don’t try to be Satan.
12. Instant romances annoy everybody who isn't you, so don’t you dare.
13. You do not choose what classes you go to, that’s not how 1st year high schooling works. Extracurricular & optional classes do not go in your application, they may be chosen later.

LEAVING THE SCHOOL PREMISES

CLASSES
To avoid excessive time consumption, each class will take up only one-two posts per player. If one player leaves the class before another player has the chance to attend class, those two players simply must not interact each with each other, so as to avoid the destruction of the time-space continuum.

((Can i get clarification? What kind of magic? Any kind? Also, you mention dragons, how do they interact with people? How many are there? Are there sub-species? Also, can you make a list of pre-approved races and descriptions? Also the lore is a bit confusing. Everyone pretends to be human so that the human's don't know they're there? Mostly what im asking is an expanded lore.))

((Can i get clarification? What kind of magic? Any kind?
Read Solawind's post above.
Also, you mention dragons, how do they interact with people? How many are there? Are there sub-species?
Dragon's numbers are smaller than they once were, probably about 100ish around the world. For the most part, they keep to themselves. Yes, there are sub-species, but mostly just the stock standard Fire-dragon, ice-dragon, blood-dragon etc. The only species of Dragon I find worth mentioning are Dragon Bees. They're about the size of a large dog, and make honey (thus the name), although they don't have stingers.
Also, can you make a list of pre-approved races and descriptions?
I did, it's on the wiki. Please take note that the actual pages are currently being fixed, so not everything there is 100% accurate. PM if you have questions on any particular race, or just come up with something new.
Also the lore is a bit confusing.
Indeed.
Everyone pretends to be human so that the human's don't know they're there?
Yes. Magic makes this easier.
Mostly what im asking is an expanded lore.))

((Thanks, and looking at the wiki, i have a few more questions. The races all have certain rules and generic personality traits- how often is it that a person within a race deviates from this? Can every race use magic (If so im assuming some are better than others)? Is this RP inspired by something- a book movie- or is this all your idea, and youre making the wiki to go around it? And are the humans at this academy aware that there are other races?))

The personality traits apply in the same way that they would to humans IRL. Those are just guidelines, there are deviations.
Can every race use magic (If so im assuming some are better than others)?
Yes, all races can use magic. Elves and Faerie folk are generally better with magic, while Orc's & Lizarian's, the more tribe-based races, aren't as proficient.
Is this RP inspired by something- a book movie- or is this all your idea, and youre making the wiki to go around it?
Most of it is my ideas, though the planet itself is inspired by Discworld, which was created by Terry Pratchett. The wiki is my attempt to make things clearer. As stated it still needs a lot of work, but it's getting there.
And are the humans at this academy aware that there are other races?
For the most part, no. There will be some exceptions, but the gen pop is unaware.))

"The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury." - Marcus Aurelis
((Pardon me, I have a clarification for the rules. Should we follow rule one or ten? If we put 'equality for dragons' in our app will we be banned or accepted or denied or what?))
((Seems interesting. I personally love vampires, although I almost never do emo vampires.
No, I do more of the "come with me for some fun - oops your dead" vampires.
Maybe cause I play VtM and VtR, I don't play with the stereotypical sshtuff.
That's fine. We simply had a lot of issues with emo vampire spam in previous RP's. We literally hit 10+ generic vampires.
Also, so romance isn't allowed? Or just, "omg you be beautiful let's make out" without any precursor romance?
Romance is acceptable. We simply had issues with instant romance in the past.
And lastly, I know nothing about this universe, so I'm gonna do a lot of reading on the wiki before applying.
That's what it's for! As I've been telling Scarfking however, it IS unfinished, so feel free to ask me if any questions you have aren't answered over there.))
((Pardon me, I have a clarification for the rules. Should we follow rule one or ten? If we put 'equality for dragons' in our app will we be banned or accepted or denied or what?))
I amended the rules to make things more clear, so check again. It's just to make sure people bother reading it.
((As a general note, I'm on holidays soon so I'll try to make progress on the wiki then. If you feel anything needs to be addressed there, speak up and I'll see what I can do.))

Not quite how it works, the wiki pages are set up differently. I can help you with that though, so don't sweat it.

"The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury." - Marcus Aurelis
Appearance: In the attachment. The scales are light blue-ish, also, he does not carry the shield or the pickaxe shown in the picture.
Gender: male
Age: 15
Class: Day
Species: Draconian
Powers: A somewhat adept sorcerer, Lugaid channels powerful magic through tomes that must be pre-written. Once a tome's spell is used, the text of the spell disappears, and the tome becomes a worthless piece of paper, until another tome is written on it. Lugaid has a 'dictionary' at his home, with all the known tome scripts (such dictionaries are quite common). A special ink or pen is not required. A tome is used by reading the written incantation aloud (which usually takes no more than a second or two), at such a time, the spell is cast. There are many different specific spells that can be cast from his tomes, but i wont go into them here, just a few. One tome can transform his appearance into another race- his build and face is still recognizable, but otherwise, he looks like any other member of the race he chooses. This lasts 24 hours before discharging. Another summons an invisible wall that lasts for 10 seconds. The final tome that i'll specify makes the enemy extremely clumsy. Oh, and he has all the abilities of any other Draconian.
Bio: Lugaid was always been quite different. He never understood the concept of Draconian honor- if you run from a fight, you're alive. Whats so bad about making a good tactical decision? Even from childhood he questioned the value of honor, stating it was all in people's heads, and that honor in the sense that they were thinking was useless, detrimental, even. His parents did nothing to defend Lugaid, who was constantly punished physically for "blasphemy and rebellion". Though he was tough, there are only so many punches a Draconian teenager can take before a bone gets broken. And at age 12, he had enough, and ran away.
He took some clothes and food, and ran. He didnt know where he was going to end up, but he didnt care. He wanted to be somewhere he would be accepted, and not bullied. After nearly starving to death in a forest, he was taken in by a small village of elves. They cared for him, treated his injuries, and taught him magic. He lived there, with adopted parents for three years, before learning of Half-Moon Academy. He quickly decided that it was in his best interest to go there.
Inventory: A backpack with all required school material, A few basic defensive tomes, and some lunch.

((Sorry I didn't make it clear (my bad!) but the night class is for supernaturals, day is for humans. However, considering your characters abilities, if you'd like to stand by that choice I'm willing to make an exception, as we've had issues with lack of day class members in the past.
Yes, it is a boarding school.))

"The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury." - Marcus Aurelis
Name: Adam Green
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Class: Night
Species: Lycanthrope
Appearance: Adam is thin and of average height. He has an athletic build and dark brown hair. His hair has the appearance that he is about a week late for a haircut and is slightly curly. His skin is fair, bordering on pale and his face is mostly free from scars or blemishes. Although he seems human, there is something inhuman about him too. Adam is a lycanthrope, or werewolf, and that has some effect on his human appearance. His teeth are pointed and sharp and his canines are elongated. His ears have come to a slight point at the top but this is usually covered by his hair. His fingernails almost resemble claws. He wears clothes that are a bit too large for him. He wears a long sleeve, grey shirt and a pair of dark blue trousers. He wears a pair of leather shoes with white socks. All in all he could almost pass for human if he managed to hide his claws and teeth.
As for his werewolf form, Adam grows about 30cm taller and becomes larger and hunched over. His body becomes covered in thick, dark brown fur. His hands turn completely into claws. His face becomes a snout and his eyes turn yellow. His legs gain an extra pair of knees, the top pair bend backward and the bottom pair bend forwards. He also gains a tail. His clothes survive the transformation.
Powers: As a lycanthrope, Adam has the ability to transform at will. He has some control when in this state, or at least enough to stop himself from killing people. In this state he has enchanted strength, speed and agility as well as enhanced senses. These abilities are present, although diminished, in Adam's human form.
Bio:
Adam was not always a lycanthrope, a long time ago he was completely human. He was quite young at the time, he had friends and went to school. He did all the normal kid stuff, like homework and playing. His parents were human too, as was the rest of his family. They were not very wealthy, but they had enough to live comfortably.
It was at the age of fourteen when Adam's life changed. He was outside at night, watching the stars. He had always liked astronomy. He was in his backyard with a telescope pointed at the sky. His house bordered some woods, but Adam never found this worrying. His parents was inside, they didn't share his interest in space. He should have been paying more attention to his surroundings, he should have gone inside. Adam didn't even believe in the supernatural, and neither did his family. Adam didn't realise he was in danger until it was too late.
Adam screamed as a creature came out of the woods and charged towards him. He was frozen in place, but even if he could move he wouldn't be able to get away from what was coming towards him. He didn't stand a chance. The attack only lasted a few seconds before Adam's parents chased the creature away and dragged Adam inside. He was injured but alive. He quickly received medical attention from the paramedics that had been called.
Adam spent weeks in hospital, recovering from the injuries sustained from the attack by the creature. He didn't know what it was or why it had attacked, he was just happy to be alive. Little did he know what changes were coming for him. The first time he knew something was wrong was during the hospital stay. He was nearing the end of his stay. It was in the middle of the night, Adam was having a nightmare. He was reliving the experiences of the attack, a common occurrence in the weeks following the attack.
He awoke from the dream to find himself changed, he was covered in fur. He wasn't himself. He opened his mouth to yell but only growling came out. At the sound of this a group of doctors and nurses rushed in and sedated him. When he awoke the next morning, he found that he was bound to the hospital bed. After a long talk with the doctor it was explained to him that he had been infected with lycanthropy. The doctor explained that the supernatural did exist. At first Adam didn't believe him but after a while he grew to believe what the doctor was saying, the doctor even said that he was a supernatural creature hiding in plain sight.
Over the next few years, Adam's teeth sharpened and his nails grew almost claw-like. Adam's control over his wolf form grew. But he still withdrew from society, he didn't want to harm anyone. He didn't talk to his friends anymore and he always tried to stay by himself when at school. He hid the fact that he was no longer completely human. He became angry at the creature that had done this to him. He didn't ask to be made into a lycanthrope, he just wanted his old life again. When he heard about Half-Moon Academy he saw a chance to recover a bit of his old life. At least there he didn't have to hide there.

Kerectus is a disc shaped planet carried on the back of a giant space travelling, god-like wolf. The gods are also different, because Christianity and Judaism and what-not never really took on (though they still exist, but only barely!) It should also be noted that symbols like the cross are still recognised, and people still say ‘Oh god!’
The world is in a semi-futuristic setting. I.E You should consider it a modern world, but occasionally I might mention some sort of Sci-Fi tech, such as a laser rifle. Magic and sword & bows and stuff are generally considered more useful than guns, because what use are bullets against goddamn dragons? That was a rhetorical question. Dragon always beats gun, as does rock.
Finally, on Kerectus, the religion I have mentioned is ‘true’ meaning all the gods of the Kerectian religion are 100% confirmed to exist, but again, the denizens of Aerth treat it much the same as we do; Speculation and belief.

[Application coming soon]
((Can i get clarification? What kind of magic? Any kind? Also, you mention dragons, how do they interact with people? How many are there? Are there sub-species? Also, can you make a list of pre-approved races and descriptions? Also the lore is a bit confusing. Everyone pretends to be human so that the human's don't know they're there? Mostly what im asking is an expanded lore.))
((Finish reading the rules. Magic can be any form as long as it follows the rules.))
"The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury." - Marcus Aurelis
((Thanks, and looking at the wiki, i have a few more questions. The races all have certain rules and generic personality traits- how often is it that a person within a race deviates from this? Can every race use magic (If so im assuming some are better than others)? Is this RP inspired by something- a book movie- or is this all your idea, and youre making the wiki to go around it? And are the humans at this academy aware that there are other races?))
"The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury." - Marcus Aurelis
((Thanks for clearing it up. I'll likely apply.))
((Seems interesting. I personally love vampires, although I almost never do emo vampires.
No, I do more of the "come with me for some fun - oops your dead" vampires.
Maybe cause I play VtM and VtR, I don't play with the stereotypical sshtuff.
Also, so romance isn't allowed? Or just, "omg you be beautiful let's make out" without any precursor romance?
And lastly, I know nothing about this universe, so I'm gonna do a lot of reading on the wiki before applying.))
((Pardon me, I have a clarification for the rules. Should we follow rule one or ten? If we put 'equality for dragons' in our app will we be banned or accepted or denied or what?))
((As a general note, I'm on holidays soon so I'll try to make progress on the wiki then. If you feel anything needs to be addressed there, speak up and I'll see what I can do.))

((One last question, so we have to make a character page on the site for my character? I don't have a working computer, so I would prefer if someone where to copy-paste rather me try to on a phone.))

(( FINALLY! After a full year of absence HMA is beating again.
Reserved app post, will post app within two weeks, gotta push through uni entrance exams first. Once I'm done with those, I'm all going for it. ))
Name: Lugaid Iudocus (Loo-gayd ee-oo-doh-kus)
Appearance: In the attachment. The scales are light blue-ish, also, he does not carry the shield or the pickaxe shown in the picture.
Gender: male
Age: 15
Class: Day
Species: Draconian
Powers: A somewhat adept sorcerer, Lugaid channels powerful magic through tomes that must be pre-written. Once a tome's spell is used, the text of the spell disappears, and the tome becomes a worthless piece of paper, until another tome is written on it. Lugaid has a 'dictionary' at his home, with all the known tome scripts (such dictionaries are quite common). A special ink or pen is not required. A tome is used by reading the written incantation aloud (which usually takes no more than a second or two), at such a time, the spell is cast. There are many different specific spells that can be cast from his tomes, but i wont go into them here, just a few. One tome can transform his appearance into another race- his build and face is still recognizable, but otherwise, he looks like any other member of the race he chooses. This lasts 24 hours before discharging. Another summons an invisible wall that lasts for 10 seconds. The final tome that i'll specify makes the enemy extremely clumsy. Oh, and he has all the abilities of any other Draconian.
Bio: Lugaid was always been quite different. He never understood the concept of Draconian honor- if you run from a fight, you're alive. Whats so bad about making a good tactical decision? Even from childhood he questioned the value of honor, stating it was all in people's heads, and that honor in the sense that they were thinking was useless, detrimental, even. His parents did nothing to defend Lugaid, who was constantly punished physically for "blasphemy and rebellion". Though he was tough, there are only so many punches a Draconian teenager can take before a bone gets broken. And at age 12, he had enough, and ran away.
He took some clothes and food, and ran. He didnt know where he was going to end up, but he didnt care. He wanted to be somewhere he would be accepted, and not bullied. After nearly starving to death in a forest, he was taken in by a small village of elves. They cared for him, treated his injuries, and taught him magic. He lived there, with adopted parents for three years, before learning of Half-Moon Academy. He quickly decided that it was in his best interest to go there.
Inventory: A backpack with all required school material, A few basic defensive tomes, and some lunch.
((Also, is it a boarding school?))
Notes: Equality to all races.
((Sorry I didn't make it clear (my bad!) but the night class is for supernaturals, day is for humans. However, considering your characters abilities, if you'd like to stand by that choice I'm willing to make an exception, as we've had issues with lack of day class members in the past.
Yes, it is a boarding school.))

Name: Adam Green
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Class: Night
Species: Lycanthrope
Appearance: Adam is thin and of average height. He has an athletic build and dark brown hair. His hair has the appearance that he is about a week late for a haircut and is slightly curly. His skin is fair, bordering on pale and his face is mostly free from scars or blemishes. Although he seems human, there is something inhuman about him too. Adam is a lycanthrope, or werewolf, and that has some effect on his human appearance. His teeth are pointed and sharp and his canines are elongated. His ears have come to a slight point at the top but this is usually covered by his hair. His fingernails almost resemble claws. He wears clothes that are a bit too large for him. He wears a long sleeve, grey shirt and a pair of dark blue trousers. He wears a pair of leather shoes with white socks. All in all he could almost pass for human if he managed to hide his claws and teeth.
As for his werewolf form, Adam grows about 30cm taller and becomes larger and hunched over. His body becomes covered in thick, dark brown fur. His hands turn completely into claws. His face becomes a snout and his eyes turn yellow. His legs gain an extra pair of knees, the top pair bend backward and the bottom pair bend forwards. He also gains a tail. His clothes survive the transformation.
Powers: As a lycanthrope, Adam has the ability to transform at will. He has some control when in this state, or at least enough to stop himself from killing people. In this state he has enchanted strength, speed and agility as well as enhanced senses. These abilities are present, although diminished, in Adam's human form.
Bio:
Adam was not always a lycanthrope, a long time ago he was completely human. He was quite young at the time, he had friends and went to school. He did all the normal kid stuff, like homework and playing. His parents were human too, as was the rest of his family. They were not very wealthy, but they had enough to live comfortably.
It was at the age of fourteen when Adam's life changed. He was outside at night, watching the stars. He had always liked astronomy. He was in his backyard with a telescope pointed at the sky. His house bordered some woods, but Adam never found this worrying. His parents was inside, they didn't share his interest in space. He should have been paying more attention to his surroundings, he should have gone inside. Adam didn't even believe in the supernatural, and neither did his family. Adam didn't realise he was in danger until it was too late.
Adam screamed as a creature came out of the woods and charged towards him. He was frozen in place, but even if he could move he wouldn't be able to get away from what was coming towards him. He didn't stand a chance. The attack only lasted a few seconds before Adam's parents chased the creature away and dragged Adam inside. He was injured but alive. He quickly received medical attention from the paramedics that had been called.
Adam spent weeks in hospital, recovering from the injuries sustained from the attack by the creature. He didn't know what it was or why it had attacked, he was just happy to be alive. Little did he know what changes were coming for him. The first time he knew something was wrong was during the hospital stay. He was nearing the end of his stay. It was in the middle of the night, Adam was having a nightmare. He was reliving the experiences of the attack, a common occurrence in the weeks following the attack.
He awoke from the dream to find himself changed, he was covered in fur. He wasn't himself. He opened his mouth to yell but only growling came out. At the sound of this a group of doctors and nurses rushed in and sedated him. When he awoke the next morning, he found that he was bound to the hospital bed. After a long talk with the doctor it was explained to him that he had been infected with lycanthropy. The doctor explained that the supernatural did exist. At first Adam didn't believe him but after a while he grew to believe what the doctor was saying, the doctor even said that he was a supernatural creature hiding in plain sight.
Over the next few years, Adam's teeth sharpened and his nails grew almost claw-like. Adam's control over his wolf form grew. But he still withdrew from society, he didn't want to harm anyone. He didn't talk to his friends anymore and he always tried to stay by himself when at school. He hid the fact that he was no longer completely human. He became angry at the creature that had done this to him. He didn't ask to be made into a lycanthrope, he just wanted his old life again. When he heard about Half-Moon Academy he saw a chance to recover a bit of his old life. At least there he didn't have to hide there.
Inventory: Adam has a notebook, a pen, and his luggage
Notes: nope
((Only complaint is that the doctor would not have informed Adam's family of his nature, this is breaking the law. Fix that teeeeny detail and I see no reason not to accept you.))
