Of course, another question might be raised, how would I know this? What proof is there to support my claim? To answer these, first you need a little history. In ancient times, the world of men and the supernatural was intertwined, but over time the two worlds separated. Human looked towards more "logical" answers to the world, and as such the world of the supernatural became more and more myth. But there always remained a small number of humans that kept connected to both the worlds. The majority of these humans are magically gifted, simply referred to as mages. More about mages later.
However, the world of humans and the supernatural did collide in recent history, all due to the actions of one mage, Ayla Zwahlen. In 1901, Ayla would cause a certain type of event known in the supernatural world as a Time-Break. This event would become known as the Liechtenstein Incident after the fact. To this day, because of the Time-Break not much is known about what exactly happened, but a few things of importance are still known. All that is known boils down to one fact, this incident was responsible for the reshaping of the supernatural world and to some extent, the world of humans.
The Liechtenstein Incident called for the Grand Council, the Shadow Court, the Church and the world's superpowers at the time to set aside their differences and unite against Ayla Zwahlen. When the incident was finished, a new organization stood bridging the world of humans and the world of the supernatural. This organization was called, the International Ministry of Supernatural Affairs or just I.M.O.S.A. However over time, knowledge of the supernatural world return to a similar level as it was prior to the Liechtenstein Incident.
This lost of knowledge would lead to less funding for I.M.O.S.A, which would drive them to the edge of disbanding. But, just when they reached what looked like the end, the world called for their aid. The Axis had delved into the supernatural, and the leaders of the Allied nations rediscovered I.M.O.S.A. When the war ended and the UN was founded, I.M.O.S.A thought that they would just fade away again. But that wasn't the case.
I.M.O.S.A would not fade into the shadows, as its effect on the world was to great to cover up after the Second World War. So, instead of stepping back into the shadows, the world of the supernatural became more well known across the world, and I.M.O.S.A was there to protect the two worlds from each other. Of course, there was challenges, as humans feared the supernatural, and from that fear came prejudice and hate. This would eventually build up until the world was on the edge of a war between humans and the supernatural. I.M.O.S.A had one chance to strike a peace between the worlds before blood was shed.
And so they did. Six islands where constructed using magitech. These islands were created as a place where the supernatural could live in peace. Alongside the islands, two more things where done, I.M.O.S.A devoted resources to educating the next generation of humans across the world about the supernatural world in hopes that the next generation would be able to accept the supernatural. The other thing was that they begun gathering more agents, in order to keep the peace.
But where could they get more agents? The answer to that question is more simple than you think. The six islands where not just a place for the supernatural to live without a worry about the human world, they were also home to the six I.M.O.S.A Academies. These academies were created with two purposes in mind, to educate the children of the supernatural world, and to train possible future recruits. Other schools were created on the islands to fulfil the first purpose over time, and the I.M.O.S.A Academies became specialized for the purpose of training future agents of I.M.O.S.A.
The year is 2052, and the time of year, autumn, just before the start of the new school year. I.M.O.S.A has funding from nations all around the Earth, and operates almost everywhere. The academies each are in operation, training new agents, but some are more effective than others. Petwora has a reputation of being the worst of the six Academies, and as such, trouble students from the other Academies are usually transferred to Petwora. The Academies are known to be fiercely competitive with each other, and as such, a hierarchy has been developed. Petwora faces a possible crisis this year, that being the possible loss of funding from the North American nations. The only way they can avoid the crisis is by out performing at least one other Academy...
This is the year. Petwora either will fall, or rise. Either way, a new age is dawning...
IMOSA Principles
1. Protect Mankind from the Supernatural
2. Protect the Supernatural from Mankind
3. Protect the Supernatural from the Supernatural
This RP should be familiar to anyone who was in any of my RPs that take place in the Petwora-verse (which has been changed so many times by this point). You will be a student, and I will say this, don't worry about the school side of this RP, as most of this RP will focus on other aspects of being a student at the Petwora Academy. There will however be some classes shown, but only when they support the story arch.

RULES
1. NO Godmodding, and stuff like that
2. My word is law, and when I am not online, my Co-OP's word is law.
3. There is a difference however between Immortality and Invulnerability/Invincibility (of course it can be debated, but this is my thread and this is the stance I take). To put it as simple as possible... Immortal = No Death by Age, Invulnerable/Invincible = Only Death by Age. So, invulnerable/invincible beings are a no, as your characters can be injured and can die.
4. No Overpowered characters. Note, my characters may come off as OP, but remember, I am the OP, and there is always reasoning behind why they are so strong. Just remember, fair does not mean equal, so no complaining.
5. Be a voice of reason, not a control freak. Control freaks will be banished in the blink of an eye.
6. All disputes between people will be kept out of the OOC, settle them via TG.
7. No starting with powerful artifacts.
8. READ THE LORE PROVIDED BEFORE MAKING APP OR ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT LORE (Supernatural races aren't talked about in depth, so ask away on that topic)
9. Inform everyone if you are to be absent for an extended period of time through the OOC
10. If you want to make a character connected to any of the Eight families, run the idea through me first
11. Three Strikes and you're out, unless you really mess up.
