Nerd!
Oh god, did I just bully myself? Jesus, alright, moving on.
So anyway, Angels, Demons, Vampires, the whole lot, all real. Yep, every myth you've ever heard, excluding the Mothman, was reality at one point or another. I'll let that sink in. Alright, you good? Cool. The world was in relative harmony, Angels hung out upstairs, happy with their vaguely totalitarian form of government, the Demons down there in the underworld, only harvesting our mortal souls when they get bored, monsters had been routed deep underground, and Humanity lived on, oblivious to its extrodinarily powerful neighbors.
Well, I suppose all good things come to an end right?
The mythical Midnights were resurfacing. Werewolf packs all but reclaimed Western Europe, bad blood was taking its toll between the Archangels and High Demons, and they knew they could take Earth with a hand behind their back. Humanity, as usual, was oblivious to the mounting war, and those of us who actually knew the things that were aiming to exterminate us are few and far between. So, we all got together, the thirty of us, and decided to build an army of our own.
It was a ragtag group at first, I mean, thirty "Wizards" isn't much when you're fighting the armies of Hell, Heaven, and the Night, but it turns out, some Angels didn't didn't think we were all that bad as a race. After that we started getting more and more members of more and more variety, mainly young activists rebelling against their assorted hierarchies. Called ourselves the Almost Gods and fancied ourselves Crusaders for a better world, even built huge, walled fortresses to house our warriors. And it worked, it's amazing who'll listen to you when you have an army at your back; we were able to prevent a war that would've killed us all. That was twenty years ago.
No one fights fair. Not Heaven, Hell, or us. You fight the war that hasn't even been declared yet and you goddamn better win. We all knew that going in. But at this point, we're not winning. Hell, we're not even a player.
We lost most our numbers to assassination, betrayal, and just flat out desertion, nearly all our our keeps sit in ruin, and of the original thirty, six remain alive. There's me, Yvette, Tony, Jason, Alek, and Nacy.........Yvette's in an asylum in Belgium, driven mad by torture recived not in Hell, but Heaven. Tony and Jason are in comas, they'd actually just decided to get married when a group of "muggers" left the two most powerful men I know bloodied and dying in a goddamn back alley.
No no, I'm fine, I just haven't thought about it in.....years.
Alek's.....God who knows where, he went off to survey what "may be a new breed of Midnights" popping up in bumfuck Austria, but he never came back. I know he's alive because every so often he broadcasts his thoughts to the six of us. He only screams. And Nacy, sweet Nacy, she was only sixteen when all this started you know, was bitten by a vampire and is currently leading their charge against Humanity. And me, I wasn't the strongest, smartest, or even the tallest, but now I am. And now I have to step up.
So that's why I opened this school. That's why I opened our ranks to.....children. And that's why, if we're gonna survive this, we need all the goddamn help we can.
So is it a yes or no?

Attention all newcomers, here's a summary of what's happened so far: First day happened, then a party, at said party, the seven deadly sins appeared, they were fought and defeated, several losses were reported, afterwards it was found that the Catholic Church was attacking campus, survivors of the party fled with the headmaster down a tunnel while most other teachers stayed and fought the church, after escaping into the Romanian countryside, the survivors made their way to a town, boarded a plane, and arrived at a hotel in France.
Have fun.
Each student attending the Academy takes several entrance exams at the beginning of their first year, each one aiming to pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses. There are four categories, Intelligence, Combat, Magik, and Aura, the first of which being the most literal, in a strict sense that is. It's exam is that of the normal human world, math, science, history, etc. thus Humans, who've already revived outside schooling at the time, tend to excel in this area. Combat and Magik are roughly in the same boat, each one has a physical exam in which to either fight tournament style against your classmates, or compete aha ain't one another in a magical duel. Respectively of course. And finally, Aura, the "easiest" test, in which you are simply read by a magic user and given your score.
All exams are scaled 0-100, 0 being quite possibly the least qualified student ever. Of all time. And 100 being so pantsshittingly amazing that you could probably take most, if not all, of the faculty members in the school on in a fight. By yourself. With no arms. And a slight cold.
After each test is issued, students are placed in one of the four classes below, despite they only stand for organizational purposes. An example of this being that students are permitted to not only leave, but take up residence in either of the two villages near the school.
Class A
Each class is a mix of good and bad traits, the prestigious Class A is no different. Their students are hand picked to be the most gifted in Intelligence, and Magik, as well as the worst of the Aura examination. As a result, their overall skill is relatively unmatched, as they believe, by any of the other three classes.
Class B
Fighters. The top Combat test scores, regardless of their other strengths, are placed in Class B. They are the second most populous class as well as the the resident "police force's" main supply of fresh recruits.
Class C
Average test scores and high Auras are sent here, Class C (The C stands for Cool, as in "A D? Cool!") They have the most members and the most forgettable back stories.
Class D
Imagine if a Hufflepuff graduate banged a Hunger Games Tribute that died off camera, and the resulting child had its own love child with a one of James Bond's love interests. Basically the place the school tosses the ones who will inevitably kill both themselves and, possibly, hundreds of people. That and the assholes.

Now, while anyone can apply to the school, despite many rejections, the Academy boasts record making and breaking level of diversity. This includes beings of other planes of existence, vessels of the Essence, Angels, spawns of Satan himself, a few superheroes, vampires, 18 year old gods, and more!Humans
Angels
Demons
New Gods
MidnightsThe Essence
The religious cosmology of the universe is complex, with many pantheons of Gods co-existing alongside each other. It includes elements from multiple religions, mythologies, and modern concepts. Yet there is a being that seems to exist outside of both mortal, and godly bounds: The Essance. A seemingly omnipotent, and omnipresent, Creator figure who, actually, regularly visits the mortal plane. It takes many forms, men, women, non binary, animals, chairs, yet always promotes a feeling of utter peace and calm when encountered. So, to recap, the God of this universe is all powerful, incredibly involved in its creations, and may or may not appear in the form of a schnauzer before giving you fatherly advise about a girl or some shit.They said I couldn't do it, hell, they said it was impossible, but look, here it is, the IC!!!
And look, it's a barely started wiki!!!!
