Idris Academy

Welcome to Idris Academy, a school for magical folk located in the isolated reaches of Greenland. Here, those with magical abilities or superhuman attributes - the Faie, Therians, Mages, Witches, and Warlocks - come to learn. These are students who can hurl fireballs, transform into various animals, teleport from place to place, or live for centuries on end. There are your normal, human high school classes, and then there are the electives designed for each specific magical group. The goal of this school: assimilate these magical children into the human world and teach them how to control and utilize their special abilities.

But there's a problem... normal human beings can often be cruel and condescending. Some of the school's students do not actually want to assimilate. They would rather build their own, magical cities - sometimes empires - and live without having to regulate their special abilities.

This difference in opinion has caused a slight rift in the school...

The small, fictional town of Idris is a magical town located in is located in Northeast Greenland, near the coastal area, protected by wards and kept from prying mundie eyes. To Mundie eyes, the whole area appears to be a barren plot of land perpetually covered in ice. The area surrounding Idris is treacherous for mundies who try to approach and prone to avalanches. The school campus is located in the far west side of Idris, in a magical dome and has four very distinct seasons. Parts of the town of Idris closer to the school are also included in the dome, but further into town, the dome's magic wears off.

( Sports )

Idris has an interesting competitive points system. Each year, the four houses each start off with zero (0) points. As the year progresses, points will be added due to good behavior, scene lottery participating (10 points per completion) and Blitzball wins (# of points scored per team times 3, with an extra + 20 for the winning team), and points will be subtracted due to bad behavior and rule breaking. At the end of the year, the points will be added up and the house with the most points wins the House Cup.
