I am just finishing up the final touches on Wicked, a systems based supernatural boarding school rpg. We use an EXP progression system, skill sets and magic classes, levels, quests, etc. etc... The premise revolves around outcasted supernatural creatures finding asylum in the fictional town of Salem. The world is heavily influenced by Ghibli movies like Howl's Moving Castle, Totoro, and Castle in the Sky, but with a much darker twist

Salem's Academy for the Gifted is an asylum for supernatural creatures disguised as a prestigious boarding school. Way out in the meadows and far away from civilization, Salem's Academy offers safety and peace to both its students and faculty. They teach the children how to use their vast variety of abilities while keeping the locals happy (and distant) by sending their students on quests to aid them in various jobs. Throughout this fictional world supernatural creatures are despised and even tormented, but the locals of Salem have lived peacefully alongside the Academy for a long time.  

There are two main species that the school caters to - witches and shifters.

Witches can access the amazing abilities that come with magic, from telekinesis to elemental magic and familiars, there are eight different magic classes all with their own minor specialties. Some families specialize in certain kinds of magic over others.

Shifters have the ability to shift back and forth between their human and animal form, every species having a Clan based on bloodlines. For a long time Shifters chose to live almost exclusively in their animal forms, finding that trying to assimilate into the human world was too difficult and dangerous. Shifters have skills such as enhanced senses, strength, or speed as well as combat and creation skills avaliable to all characters. 

Clans serve as a power hierarchy of order, determined by strength as well as certain bloodlines that are practically seen as royalty. Due to their animalistic properties, Shifters are known to be violent and uncivilized. A Clan's leader can be overthrown if they are killed by another Shifter and mates are chosen or claimed by the men. Change is coming even if its slow, and more and more Clans are transitioning to primarily their human form. Since discovering Salem's Academy, Clans have been sending their youth to train so they are able to protect their people agaisnt the growing threat of Daegans.

Daegans - hellish, demonic monsters that have a taste for supernatural flesh. They're terrifying and extremely powerful, and since supernatural creatures are often spread so thin due to the dangers of living a public life, Daegans have no difficulties finding their next victim. Their origin is unknown and their pattern a mystery. They usually spawn from whatever dark place they come from, sniff out some supernaturals to eat, and after causing lots of death and chaos they disappear into thin air. Oh and, only the supernaturals can see them. 

There is potential for more supernatural creatures in the future, but with the level of customization we have right now I think these two species will be enough. Humans will be off limits for awhile, since they serve little in-game purpose unless they are a Hunter. For now, we will only have NPC human Hunters, which are a big threat to all supernatural creatures.

I mostly just need a small group of willing individuals to help me work out the kinks, especially in our game-esque systems, and to give me some overall feedback on the site. Reply here, shoot me a PM, or add me on discord (shay#1668) if you're interested! c:
