“Others taunt me with having knelt at well-curbs
Always wrong to the light, so never seeing
Deeper down in the well than where the water
Gives me back in a shining surface picture
Me myself in the summer heaven godlike
Looking out of a wreath of fern and cloud puffs.
Once, when trying with chin against a well-curb,
I discerned, as I thought, beyond the picture,
Through the picture, a something white, uncertain,
Something more of the depths—and then I lost it.
Water came to rebuke the too clear water.
One drop fell from a fern, and lo, a ripple
Shook whatever it was lay there at bottom,
Blurred it, blotted it out. What was that whiteness?
Truth? A pebble of quartz? For once, then, something.”

Holy High. A place hidden from the view of mortals. A beautiful, huge, and proud school, hidden in the heights of...
New Jersey?!
Yes. New Jersey. As MC Hammer says, “Ring the bells, school’s back in!”
So the story continues. The many stories of Holy High began with a ball at the end of summer, with laughter and confusion and friendship and memories. Then they ended with a clash in Heaven between heavenly forces and the forces of evil. Pain. Confusion. Loss. Death. Yes, both heavenly and hellish forces died in this battle. In fact, the entire world seems to have begun again.
Yet all of these stories, all of these possibilities, all of these events-all are now a blur.
And as our students enter Holy High for yet another year of classes, the stories which preceded them are nothing but faint slips of memories which, like smoke, disappear the moment they are noticed. Yet the universe remains large and endless and continually forming above, moving in mysterious ways. Why? These young gods, goddesses, Angels, Mages, and other Magical creatures are going to slowly find-out.
Classes have only just begun, and all godly creatures are allowed to attend. Of course, not every creature that enters within the esteemed halls of this school is godly...and chaos is sure to follow these students, even as they hardly remember where this chaos once began.
So come to Holy High, our school above the Earth and yet a part of the earth. A fantastical journey awaits...and passing is soon to be the least of these students’ worries...

Welcome to the new Holy High OOC! To RPers who have been here before, welcome back! To those who are joining for the first time, glad to have you aboard! I am the new OP, Luminesa! You may also call me Lumi, LumLum, etc. Before we get started, let’s lay down the rules, which our old OP (Syrixces, a super-cool dude) used but which I shall now enforce (along with my co-OP, who shall be named soon):
1.) Make sure your posts are at least one paragraph! 5 sentences minimum. You're not required to write a report, no, but we need something to work with to keep this machine rolling!
2.) I myself have 4 characters, so I won't enforce character limits because that would be hypocritical. (Unless we reach a specific limit or a new RPer is trying to add characters.)
3.) If you're going to be off NS for more than 3 days for any reason, TG me and let me know (or contact me on Discord, once I make the link.) I myself have been busy with college classes, so I will try to be available for updates and to post as much as possible.
4.) Try to avoid drama, if you have complaints about how I run the RP please come directly to me. I'll try to handle your complaints as fairly and efficiently as possible.
5.) DO NOT POST IN THE IC IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN APP ACCEPTED YET.
6.) Trolling, flaming, spamming, or any other bad behavior will not be tolerated. 3 strikes and you're out. Your posts will not be read, and anything you post in IC after this point will be ignored collectively by the other members of the RP.
(Really, please don't make me do that. I'm a nice person, and I want to make this as fun as possible for everyone.)
7.) If you want to be the Cardinal God of a religion (God and Zeus are NPCs), you will have to ask for my permission. For example, if you want to be Tsukiyomi/Amaterasu, Odin, etc. you’ll have to ask. And give a good reason. Not just, “But they’re cool!” They could also serve as important opponents later for the characters, which is why I have them set aside. However, feel free to play any gods from any mythos under them.
Also, here is our App, as was written by Syrixces! (Yes, I am borrowing a lot from him.):
