Darken is a school specially made for the supernatural. Be you human, monster, undead, or alive. No student is alike in many ways, but they all have three things in common.
None of them came here on accident, no one is sure how or when the school was created, and no one who attends the school has been outside the establishment since they enrolled.
The students are given world class education in all possible ares of learning, are treated with the highest possible respect and care, and each student is catered to their individual wants and needs. Who would ever want to leave?
The students who find the truth.
In reality...
Darken is a prison. The academy was built as a holding tank for the unnatural species and people of the world. The teachers are mostly experts studying the students's behaviors and habits, and seeing if they might take advantage of their powers.
Students who find the truth about the "school" never stay long. The staff always finds out, and stops any escape before it even starts. these "Expelled" students are either imprisoned, tortured and experimented on, or, more likely, killed.
And our story begins...
It doesn't matter how you find out, the point is you do. Once you know the real motive of the school, you have three objectives:
Recruit
The other users of this SB will have to find out some way. Find them.
Plan
In order to survive, you must trust no one. plan your escape, and make sure no one but your allies ever find out. If there is ever a danger of being found out, get rid of it. Quickly.
Escape
Last of all, succeed where hundreds have failed. Escape the school, or die fighting. Once out, you must find some way to hide. Your powers will look more out of place in the real world. You must conceal your true self, and seek out the safest place for you and your friends to live and hide.
Can you escape Darken Academy? And more importantly...can you stay free?
....
Hi guys! Your friend Fantasy here! I kind of set this up cause a few of my SBs (With the exception of HOTS, cause those guys are super awesome! and Rise of the Legion, which hasn't started yet.) have settled down a little, so I have a lot of space for a new Sb and I recently got super inspired and wanted to write a supernatural thing-a-ding.
Those of you who are normally with my SBs know my rules, but I'll re-sate them, cause whats fun without rules right?
Spoiler! :
As a resident of darken, you must wear a uniform. When you escape, street clothes are fine, but for the most part characters will wear this:
Spoiler! :
And of course, there are different races. Here they are
Spoiler! :
Vampire
Vampires are of the undead and dark class of creatures. Most think Vampires are snobbish and untrustworthy, and are generally avoided by others.
Perks of this race are: Walking on walls/celings, levitation/flying, limited shapeshifting. (Can only turn into one animal)
Common disadvantage: Vampires have insomnia. (Since they're nocturnal) tend to burn energy faster in the heat and sun than at night, and get dangerously dehydrated quickly in hot weather.
Other: In the Darken story, not all Vampires have to drink blood. Some might not, as they have chosen never to bite a living thing, but for vampires, Blood is like a strong and incredibly addictive drug. If they bite someone and get a taste of it, its very easy for them to get addicted to blood (And only the blood of the type they bit. For example, if you bit a man, you'd only be craving the blood of a male victim.) and its extremely hard for a Vampire to break that addiction. also, if you are not bitten for the purpose of becoming a Vampire, you won't turn into one. (So we can have a bit of balance in characters, and not every human in the school is turned into one species.) Also, Vampires aren't immortal. They simply age slower than other races. Vampires may live for 8,000 years if they were careful.
Werewolf
Werewolves are of the Dark class of creatures. They are stereotyped as being big, furry brutes with no minds of their own, and are thought to be a little stupid. Are normally tolerated by the rest of the students.
Perks of this race include: Heightened senses of smell and hearing, night vision, slightly heightened speed (Not super speed, sorry.), incredible stamina, and a sixth sense of danger.
Common disadvantage: well, they're Werewolves...when they change, they don't have much control over what they're doing. Werewolves need a lot of food to keep their energy up.
Demons
Demons are the first species you think of when you think of the Dark class of creatures. They are feared among all the students, and are believed to be brutal, cold blooded killers, and/or nefarious tricksters. Most Demons are indeed very cunning.
Perks of this race include: Wings/flight, retractable claws, raptor-like vision.
Common disadvantages: Demons are kleptomaniacs. They are attracted to valuable, interesting, or shiny objects, as well as anything that looks as if it might be of any value. They get easily distracted by these things, so...um..just keep an eye on them when your in a large city or shopping mall...
Angels
Hoo boy. Angels. The school's inhabitants are quite divided on these children of the light. Some thing them wet smacks and goody two-shoes, and are resentful towards them. Others admire them for how virtuous they are. Angels are of the (Eh-durrr) Light class, but they are also part of the neutral class as well.
Perks of this race include: Wings/flight.
Common disadvantage: Angels can literally do no wrong. Unless necessary for protection, they cant fight or kill, they can't lie or steal, (Ever. They tell the truth about literally everything.) yeah, you get the idea. Its not because they don't want to, its because they're incapable of it in every way possible.
And last but not least...
Humans
Humans are of the neutral class of creatures. Some think humans weaklings, or that they're to soft, and are met with a little bit of scorn.
Perks of this race include: Any supernatural power.
Common disadvantage: No racial advantages. This means they don't have any power except the one they have, so make it good!
Spoiler! :
There are different blood-status's for races as well:
Full-blood
Both your parents were that species of monster (ex: Mother an father were both werewolves) so you were born already that species. Full-blooded characters get ONLY their racial advantages as powers.
Half-Breed/Halfling
Halflings are half monster, (Mother was a Vampire, father was a Demon) or half human.
Halflings characters get to choose three racial advantages fro the parent breeds. (If you are half human, you get the racial advantages and MINOR supernatural powers. Supernatural power can't be as strong as a full-blooded human's and if it is, add a drawback.)
Common
Common are humans who were turned into a different creature. They get the racial advantages of their species, though they might take a while to develop depending on when you were turned, and a minor supernatural power.
And now, my favorite! Character template! Whoo!
Spoiler! :
I am looking forward to meeting all of you, my fellow classmates.
I pray we all make it out of here alive...
