Milton Academy was founded in 1979 by Thomas Milton. The purpose of the academy was to educate people with “The Sight” the term referring to those that can see ghosts and have a connection to the spirit world. The school was shut down in 1991 when Dr. Milton’s wife died. In his quest to bring her back to life, body and all. Milton started to use his students as test subjects as he dabbled into the forbidden Necromancy. All forms of spiritual abilities were taught at Milton Academy except for this one. When kids started vanishing the teachers organized and to stop him. By this time he was too powerful and had influenced many students to join his side. The battle was long but eventually the teachers and the non turned students managed to beat back Milton’s forces and force him to flee. The school was closed and Dr. Milton was never heard from again…
Present.
Samantha Prescott was a student at Milton Academy when the battle broke out. Now that she is an adult she decides to reopen Milton Academy and has changed the name to Spirit Academy. All those with the ability to see ghosts are brought here to further hone their abilities.
At some point Milton will make an appearance as the main antagonist. He along with Samantha will be NPC characters. Use of them will be available in the DT shop. For important events they will be designated. Profiles of them can be seen in the DT.
“The Sight”
Manifests at an early age as merrily being able to see ghosts. This is often misconstrued as having an imaginary friend. If they are not made aware of their powers by roughly the age of 7 they’re abilities will vanish altogether. That is why enrollment starts at the age of 5. From ages 5 to 13 students are taught the basics. How to communicate with a ghost. How to sense ghosts and various other basic techniques. By the age of 14 those with the sight must choose their path. From this point on their classes will become very specific aiming towards a certain job placement.
You will be entering as freshmen preparing to choose their path.
Jobs
Mediums- These individuals have the closest connection to the deceased. They can not only see ghosts, but channel them into their body thus increasing their strength and knowledge.
Shamans- Have a connection to spirits of the earth. Plants and animals. All shamans gain a power animal. A spirit of a animal or plant that can help them do deeds impossible for a regular human. Such as heal or dream walk.
Witches- Bind sprits to their will. Using rituals these people bind spirits depending on their power level to do their bidding. This includes element spirits which would allow for elemental control. A regular sprit however can be used to curse someone.

Empaths- Able to connect to living spirits. These individuals can read minds, auras or emotions. Some have even been able to control these aspects of a person.
Rules
About powers- I want this to be as story book about dedication and development. Thus everyone will start off for the most part the same. Sensory abilities can vary, but other than that you are all the same. How do you become a powerful Shaman or whatever? Post. For every post you gain a point, which you can use in the DT shop. The DT shop will be a compiled list of powers, skills and weapons. Items in shop will vary from 1 to 10. (points list is subject to change) If there is a skill that you want that is not listed, pm with a request. If I accept it I will add it to the list for you to buy. After five pages a year of school will have passed. Making it to your next year gets you ten more points. I will keep a tally of points.
About age- You will be starting out as a freshmen. Being as that the school was closed and provided your character had no advanced training they can be over the age of 14.
Posts-
All posts must be 300 words or more and must not be fluff. If either of these rules are broken the post will be ignored and no points will be awarded. Posts exceeding that word count of 300 will receive a extra point for every 300 more words.
God Mod-
This includes killing or hurting another character without permission. I will allow dialogue to be controlled and movements but that is it. If you feel that your character is not represented correctly pm the user.
DT:
The DT will house your profiles. All requests, questions, debates will be asked here and not in the main SB. The shop will be here as well along with your points listed. Post what you want from the shop in DT and I will make the transaction. The new skill or ability can be added to your profile at this point.

Keeping it rated. I will put the highest rating on this. This means cursing and violence is allowed to the extreme if you so wish, but not sex. You can mention that they have but no scenes. They’re fourteen anyways so no allusion sex until they at least 16.
