Everyone at the Academy for the Cursed has some sort of curse, whether they got it at birth or later on in life. Some of them are from witches, some from fae, some from neither. The students who get accepted into the academy are only the ones whose curses somehow impede their daily life (whether it be that they’re so clumsy they can’t hold anything or that they turn into an ogre once the sun sets), but the curses vary in how bad they are and what exactly they do. At the Academy, students learn all of the basic stuff as well as magic (not all of them have the ability for magic) as well as how to manage their curses and live (somewhat) normal, fulfilling lives. However, a lot of drama goes down at the Academy, as one would expect…
Okay, so before we get into it, here’s a few rules:
1) No OP characters. You can have magic, but don’t be like a god or anything.
2) Keep it PG-13. Romance, violence, and language is allowed but don’t get too crazy. Anything too steamy needs to be taken to pm.
3) Be nice to other people OOC!
4) LGBT+ is definitely allowed.
5) andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)’s rules apply.

(Oo! This looks cool could I join too?)
Yay! Thx! I’ll get my character up real quick
Name: Elizabeth Winters
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pancake pansexual
Species: Sorceress, unfortunately.
Curse/curses (no more than two): She physically can't touch the ground. She's stuck, permanently hovering a foot off the ground. She can go up slightly higher, but no lower than one foot, always praying she doesn't drop something.
Personality: She's pretty anxious and doesn't really like people. She's been conditioned to assume people hate her because sorceresses aren't exactly welcomed in her town.
Appearance: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/711428072368379274/ Wears a lot of black, often her hands light on fire by accident if she's feeling angry.
Backstory: This is a new character, so I'm just sort of keeping it vague (aka I have no creativity). Basically, she accidentally killed her dad when she was 6, so the rest of her family hated her, along with the rest of the town, and there was talk of witch burnings, so she just ran away when she was 9.
Other: Ermmmmm, not that I can think of.
(Does this work? I can change some things if not!)
(I’m in too many rps oof, but this looks so cool! Can I join?)
nice character, btw! she works just fine! @Emmylove-is-Hecking-BACKKKKKKK
(Is it okay if I base my character off another character’s species/magic and curse in a graphic novel I read a while back? Totally fine if not)
Name: Romilly “Rune” Mévouinnes
Age (12-18): 16
Gender: female
Sexuality: unsure/undecided (she doesn’t know much about human relationships)
Species: Actually a raven, but for all intents and purposes right now, she’s a human
Curse/curses (no more than two): She was born a normal raven named Rune, and owned as a pet by an old alchemist and magician named Finneas. Due to his experiments she was accidentally turned into a human, but only physically. She has yet to fully learn how to be and act as a human
Personality: Romilly is typically wary of strangers and new people, she gets very curious and as a habit of invading people’s personal space. She has an obsession with shiny things, and collects them in a special drawer. Over the last year, she’s learned how to speak more than simple words and sentences. She also has a special bond and preference to certain other students and teachers in the academy, simply the ones who are nice to her. She appears very childlike, and her intelligence is comparable to a young kid (her mind is still basically a raven, but she’s getting better!)
Appearance: Romilly has soft black, usually messy and tangled hair reaching to the middle of her back. Her nose has a gentle bump that resembles a beak. Her height is an average 5’4”, and she is generally skinny and bony as a result of her malnutrition from living with Finneas.
Backstory: It’s more complicated than this, bit in summary: Finneas found Romilly when she was a raven chick and named her Rune. He raised her as a friend for 14 years in his workshop, but he never had the means to feed her as often as she needed. One night, when she was desperate for food, she flew to where Finneas kept his experimental food recipes and ate one of the biscuits. She turned into a human, and ran away, eventually finding herself in an academy for cursed kids like her
Other: N/A
(Sorry for any possible typos, it was late night when I wrote this)
Name: Ezra Wakefield
Age (12-18): 16
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bi, but prefers guys
Species: Human/Wizard (sort of) - he has control over an ‘astral’, which is like this whispy black smoke with a personality (if anyone wants to know it’s inspired by the graphic novel: “Nightschool” by Svetlana Chmakova (but it’s not the exact same thing)). The stronger he is, the better he can control his astral.
Curse/curses (no more than two): People he gets close to ‘mysteriously’ get hurt often, sometimes killed. If he shows any love/affection to someone, there is a good chance they’ll die.
Personality: Shy and reserved, he’s afraid to get to know people. He gets flustered easily and he’ll freeze up if he’s put on the spot. Really, his only friend is his astral, and that’s his magic.
Appearance: Short and thin with pure white hair that falls over his eyes. Dark brown eyes and pale skin. Often wears long sleeved close and long pants, likes to dress in darker color because he doesn’t want people to notice him.
Backstory: When he was a kid, about 9, he always hung out with his best friend. The two were inseparable. They met up with each other almost every day and did almost anything they could think of. One day, Ezra thought to go walk by a cliff near their houses, and both their parents weren’t home so no one was there to tell them ‘no’. When they were playing a simple game of tag, Ezra was running after his friend. His friend, not watching were they were going, ran too close to the edge of the cliff and fell to their death. Their friend’s mother, a witch, blamed Ezra for her child’s death, and put the curse on Ezra so they could never get close to anyone again without hurting them. His mother and father died since then (his father from a heart attack and his mother from an incurable disease), and Ezra blames himself. He’d been homeschooled by his foster father since then, but so this is the first time in a while he’s going to school with other people.
Other: N/A

Curse/curses (no more than two): Lexath can tell people. Basically, they can make people do what they tell them.
Personality: Lexath is a shy person, though they are hellbent on making friends that don't care about their curse. They are a puffball through and through.
Appearance: They are short and tiny. Lexath's eyes would often be compared to molten gold if she had friends. their skin is pale and ivory, something they got from being Fae blessed. Lexath's hair is poofy and dyed light pink.
Backstory: Their mother helped a fae women when she was pregnant with Lexath, who in return promised they would make it up to her. When Lexie was born, the fae women came back a few years after, she placed a hand on Lexath's throat and said: "I will give you the gift of a convinving voice."
