"Devenford doesn't access your academic needs, but your passion and ability to fight the threat effectively, and intelligently."
[PLOT]
Yurei, Washington. January 1st, 2000.
"Welcome to YWN, and a happy new year. Now onto recent news, lurking the forests and cities are creatures that shouldn't even exist; the mythical, according to local correspondent Natalie Steinfeld. Although only posing a small threat to the cities nearby, some reports from citiznes say: "the creatures have came into our daily lives, and the military has nothing better to do then add a few patrols and shoot on suspicious sights". There hasn't been confirmation on these mythical beings, but numerous sightings have been reported. I've been Harlem Walsh, YWN."
Yurei, Washington. January 17th, 2000.
"First coming up on the news was reports about the now-confirmed mythical beings, but sightings have gone down rapidly, which has caused the military to be on lower alert. However, a local man, Evander Nichols, believes that there's something else that's killing these monsters, and as no one in Yurei is believed to be of any physical achievement or military action, Nichols is suspecting another threat - but deadlier. Nichols has also told YWN that he had seen what he has thought to have saw a human-being-like creature lurking the forest nearby. I'm Nick-Payton Walsh, YWN."
Yurei is a town in Washington, near some acres of woodland and forestry. Early inhabitants of the town settled far away from the forest, as it contained monsters that they thought were highly hostile. You'll have to take a car and have a one hour drive to get there. Years before the mythical beings came back into existence by collecting the souls that wandered the woods, a boarding school lie next to the forest; surprisingly still accepting, or rather, inviting students. History books call it a normal boarding school that got burnt down in 1890, after Fitzgerld "Fifs" Corbyl (a famous arsonist in that town) burnt down the school which killed the five hundred inhabitants. It was never refurbished or renovated due to the funds going to fix the elementary and high schools in the main town area.
Children of the Houses of Yurei are the ones who are chosen to be the guardians of the town, even if they do not know of their past yet. Five houses make up the Houses of Yurei, brought from the past of their ascentors that attended back in the 19th century. What's special about these kids of the houses are that they gifted in knowing about nature and it's animals, and also possess supernatural abilties, unusually passed down by the spirits that inhabit their bodies; or in other words, their most recent ancestor possesses them. Devenford, an immortal being that controls the school, takes a body of a human. He's the one regrouping what once was a school of skill and intelligence.
Devenford is like a beacon for the supernaturals, it attracts those belonging to the houses and makes them go to that certain area. In this case, Devenford is regrouping them back to kill the beings that have come back.
[MYTHICAL BEINGS]
Basilisk - A legendary lizard who could kill a man with its stare.

[DEVENFORD SCHOOL]
Devenford aforementioned is located near the actual forest. Children as well as inhabiting powers and such, create their own unique weapon or summon a familiar by their side, it is their choice. Apart from attending Devenford, they also attend the normal high school, as to not seem suspicious. On the school site, they often train within the forest, and encounter the beings as training. Trying to defeat them as they try enter the actual city - to cause havoc and stress. More about the school's inside and building will be further explained in the roleplay.
[LOCATIONS]
Devenford School: Located near the forest, it is on the rim of the home of the mythical beings. St. Joseph's High School: In the town, located near the coffee shops and the shopping areas. Peregon High: In the town, located near St. Joseph's, but closer to the suburban areas. Yurei Square: The main place to go shopping and such, the best place for tourists (there's not much people who visit anyway). Located in the middle of Yurei. Remmy's Cafe: The best coffee in town, and where most students go free period. Located in Yurei Square, away from the suburban areas. Yurei Local Library: The name is self explanatory, and is located near Peregon High. Misc: the shopping centres, other libraries, other buildings, houses, etc. (dotted around the Yurei area).
[HOUSES]
There are five houses that make up the Houses of Yurei, and the one's who attended Devenford School.
House Gregory: They are known for their bravery, and their skill in magic. They are responsible for the fall of the mythical beings back in the 19th century. They are highly favoured in the Houses of Yurei.
House Levin: They are known for their intelligence. They built the school with Devenford and they are the smartest of the houses. They devised the plan to stop the mythical from coming back and it laster for years, until the Omni retaliated and broke the barrier that was separating them.
House Keo: They are the natural born fighters and the leaders of the houses. Devenford is from House Keo, and earned his title of protecting the school, and hopefully bringing it back to life. House Keo are a bit of everything, but only the ones whose ancestors are from House Keo are able to harness full power and ability. [3 places are available for this House. With this house, you are allowed two suerpowers. You may reserve a spot for this House.]
House Demantis: They are the loyal and the stealthy. They managed to take down half of the mythical beings in the 19th century, and they were known as the most achieved house in 1879. They are loyal and have a better chance of not being forced or persuaded by evil beings.
House Harper: Not much is known, as they were very secretive and only spoke with House Keo members. However, on account of House Keo, they were very powerful and strong, and harnessed the power of the elements, animals, and nature. They were respectful, and allegdedly refused to fight the mythical beings, but were forced to by House Demantis.
[REGULATIONS]
I mean, you guys probably know all the rules I would assume. The normal ones such as no god-modding, power-playing and such, and well, if you don't know them then you probably should starting learning them. Of course, it is not my fault if you swear or do anything that gets you banned on this roleplay. Also, Hissey's spirit demands you follow the normal rules or you'll probably die.
[CHARACTER]
Name: Age: Gender: Appearance: House: Personality: (optional) Superpower: (no repeats) Weaknesses: Biography: (optional) Familiar Description: (if applicable) Weapon Description: (if applicable: choose between making a weapon or summoning a familar) Other:
[ADMINS]
I'll probably choose admins later on, as I won't be very active sometimes, or I won't be on completely. I live in the UK and timezones are a bit of a downside.

Name: Levia "Crack shot" Riggen Age: 18 Gender: female Appearance: she stands at 4'8, with blue eyes and long, untidy gray hair, she has a athletic body, mostly build for speed then strength, although. Clothing: She wears a black sleeveless t-shirt, with a decal that shows a gray X. She also wears gray cotton pants, with the ends folded up due to it being too long, with white sneakers for running. Over her shirt, she wears a jacket with a hoodie, with a blue scarf around her neck when it is cold. Sometimes, if she has to fight, she has leather gloves studded with iron if she feels safer with them. House: Keo Personality: for being a leader, she is unusually shy, but curious at the same time. She also is a bit of a organizer, trying to make everything the way it should be, making her one of the biggest over-killers of all time. Powers: She can control plasma (heated fire) and use it for many purposes. For example, she can use it for transportation, by using it like a surfboard, by flying through the air supported by plasma. Weaknesses: She was never the tank, so she falls easily under physical blows. She also is a complexiest, making everything simple more complex for herself. Bio: no Weapon description : Her weapon is a very special case, due to it being two connectable pieces. Piece 1: This weapon is a silver and gray mechanical scythe with a blue blade and small thrusters on it. These thrusters help attacking, by increasing attacking speed and efficiency Piece2: This weapon is a fast shooting pistol like weapon, with a hand guard and double shooting capabilities. It can empty a round of 50 faster then a mini gun, and is colored silver, with the hand guard gray. (Connected) this is a true force to be reckoned with, as the pistol is now located where the scythe's blade is connected to the long handle. It can shoot, as well as be used as a melee weapon, at the expense of being heavier then normal. It can also transform into a orbital cannon drone! Yayyyyy :D Other: nah |

| Second power: She has the ability to buff her friends, by sacrificing part of her strength in order to grant them enchancements slighty more powerful then the strength used to enchance them. If she enchances someone, and they end up getting hurt, she also takes some of the pain. |

Name: Daniel Traverse
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: A rather intimidating looking man, he stands at 6'0. He is extremely buff, and has visible muscles on his arms, legs, and huge abs. If one were to look at his face, they'd see a extremely defined jawline. He has dark brown hair, which is in a mess. It drapes down on his eyes.
He has strong cheek bones, above them are his eyes. They are kind of bloodshot, but he sometimes wears glasses. His eyes are a light gray, to the point one may think they are white.
He usually wears tight tee shirts, dark jeans, and maybe some converse shoes. He has a twisted grin when he gets mad, which means you should really get out of his way.
House: Harper
Personality: Generally mysterious, he only helps when people are in absolute need.
Superpower: A surge of extreme physical strength when speaking the word "postestas". Has a (two post) cool down.
Weaknesses: He doesn't do well against groups. He is also bad at keeping cool or keeping attention off him, so don't bring him on stealth missions.
Biography: He worked out a whole lot, was on the wrestling team, and is extremely buff. Without even using his superpower, he can easily win fights. He had a father, who was a Golden Glove award winner. He died when an extremely strong punch to the chest which punctured his lungs.
He grew up with his mom mainly, to which he repeatedly scowled at. He doesn't like her too much. He had an Australian Husky for a short amount of time.
Familiar Description: A husky, much like the one he used to own. (if this + his other superpower are both allowed.)
Weapon Description: (if applicable: choose between making a weapon or summoning a familar)
Other: not really

Above What kind of disaster manipluation? If it is major, it will be too op due to tornados and other major kinds. If it is the minor kind, such as small tornados, or some sort of wave, then it is okay. But please refrain from major terrain changing events, such as volcanos |
