Welcome to The Occult You find yourself walking down cobblestone streets, you had heard of this place since you were a kit, it wasn't unknown that the most powerful cats would pass through here on their own magical journey. Yours has only just begun, the letter firmly gripped in your jaw as you look into various shops. You almost miss the sound of approaching pawsteps, a black she-cat situating herself next to you. "You must be a newpaw, I can tell by that letter you're holding. Welcome to The town of The Occult. We've been expecting new life to be breathed into this place for a long time. " She paused, turning towards you now. Her eyes were clear blue orbs, showing she was blind. "We can't wait for you experience what this place to offer." Our History The Occult has existed for centuries, decades of history in each little corner. It all began with a single spellcaster coming forward with his powers, his name? Arthur, a statue of him resides in the center of town. He faced many hardships in his life, trying to build a group of Spellcasters who were willing to come forward. With each new life coming to his town, he discovered the lacking of training in them. Not wanting the powers to go to waste, he began his next project. Building a school. During this time period, the school was only one room with nothing inside it except for books he had found. He personally taught each cat who walked through the entrance, working painstakingly each day and night. The first graduating class had their names etched in the walls of the school. The names are still able to be seen, the wall propped up near the entrance. After this, he placed teachers inside the school for the next generation. He didn't stop there though, he began to work on the shopping district with another group of cats. This group created the trading system by themselves, wanting to wipe themselves free of their past lives. During this time, the war on magic had gone into full swing. Arthur had to abandon all his projects to protect those in his safe haven. The council of cats trying to take them down offered 300 gold coins(7,000 in today's time) for Arthur's capture. Wanting peace to exist for those around him, Arthur set up a magical veil over the town, hiding it away for those who weren't magical. He didn't want to risk their discovery again so he confronted the council and offered his own life for them to stop searching for his group. They accepted and promptly ended his life to send a message. The Shopping District Clothing Shop; placed neatly near the entrance of this district, you can find hats, robes, anything your cat wishes to have of their own. Book store; next to the clothing shop is this store, where books are way more than your tuition into the school. Good luck. Food store; this store consists of an assortment of food for those who wish to have some, there's also a small side area for drinks/potions. Potion store; they hate the food store for opening up a potion side. Weaponsmith; If magic is not your strongest suit, please consider arming yourself. Living Dorms Dorm one; Light, Flare Dorm two; Teacher housing;' Classes Firegenus Watergenus Airgenus Lifegenus Earthgenus Potions Threats to the Occult Black Magic Coven 'Regulars'(cats without magic) Dragons.

1.) Be Respectful; Treat those around you as you would want to be treated. 2.) No Kit____ing; I mean...I never see it on here but I'd like to be extra cautious ya know? 3.) 6 lines minimum; I know it's kinda lame rule but I appreciate if everyone is able to keep up with this rule. Sometimes posting less is fine. 4.) Coat colors; So natural coat colors, eyes go wild but not too wild. I dont want rainbow or neon eyes, if you want like a pastel color that's fine. 5.) No Godmoding; I'd prefer it if your cat had flaws, not just cutesy ones either like 'she's shy, hes clumsy'. Also no over powered cats, the closest we get to those are in the higher ups and even then they are not all knowing powers. The passcode is Lizard tongue. 6.) Relationships; try to make your cats have family with other rpers. 7.) Gender Ratio: Try to keep the gender ratio even by joining with either a she-cat and a male or join with what we are lacking. 8.) Activity: I get we are all busy so if you arent on for two weeks with no explanation, I will message you a warning. Three weeks and I'll delete. The Occult Laws 1.) No killing a familiar, doing so is punishable by death. 2.) No Black Magic. Weather/Season It is Fall, the weather is mild and cloudy Plot The Occult is suffering greatly due to the barrier falling down around them, bits and pieces of the town are beginning to show to the outsiders. The reasoning behind this? The Dark Magic Coven is working to tear down the walls. No one knows who to trust anymore.

Headmaster Witheredpetal // 50 years old // Witheredpetal is a long descendant of the original arthur, her lineage doesn't go neatly up to him but she is one of the last cats who could be connected to him. she is a black molly, her fur rather dull and long. the most noticable part about her though is her eyes. She has white, with a tinge of blue, milky orbs on her face. She is blind though that doesn't stop her from being able to see what's beyond her, she makes her way around fairly easily since she is able to view her surroundings around her through her powers. It was certainly hard for her to do though in the beginning since she can only see from above herself. Teachers Potions Teacher
Gingerfoot // 34
A pale ginger she-cat with green eyes and white markings including three white paws. Gingerfoot is enthusiastic and bright. She can talk for hours on end and it's considered a death sentence to your afternoon if you get her started on an extensive topic. Since becoming older she's mellowed out some, though is still easily distracted -- get her locked on a topic and she'll ramble for hours. Gingerfoot is a kind cat with infectious curiosity. Unfortunately, she isn't exactly the brightest cat what it comes to things outside her specialty. Said specialty being potions and magic relating to plant-life. Her familiar is a small and plump green snake with white wings. She is the potions teacher.
Healers Iceowl // 32 years Despite the cats one may normally see in the Occult, Iceowl is a grey Lynx with darker grey stripes along his back, legs, and tail. His eyes are an icy blue color, for which he was named after. Learning healing magic from a clan far north, he has traveled to share his teachings when he finally settled in the Occult as their main healer. He is calm and rational, as per the nature of his breed, though he becomes stressed and uncomfortable with large crowds. Newpaws Light // 15 years old Light is a white tom with gray stripes decorating his coat. He is a newpaw to the occult, having arrived only just a few moons ago. He can come across as rude as more secretive. He doesn't discuss his past life, the one he had before he arrived at the school.
Flare // 16 years Flare is a black she-cat with lighter grey markings around her eyes, which are a deep blue. She has short fur and a long tail, allowing her to climb unexpected things with surprising ease. She is rather small for her age, but is incredibly energetic as if she were still a kitten, though tends to rush into situations due to this. She has been attending the school for over a year and knows the Occult very well, as she was raised in it as an orphan. She has a special fascination for Pyrokinesis, aided by her tiny black dragon familiar. Spark // 18
A beautiful white tabby tom with dark markings and messy fur. One of his eyes is a distinct yellow, and the other is icy blue. His eyes are sharp and his expression is more often than not a frown. Despite initially seeming quiet, Spark can certainly be chatty when he wants to; he simply deems most unworthy of conversation. While many have labeled himβperhaps justifiablyβas stuffy or unkind, his intelligence and agility for a Newpaw are undeniable. He is quick-thinking and not afraid to be rude to others. Spark is overconfident and vain, and he's easy to break due to this. In addition he isn't very open in general and can get flustered given the right situation especially when he is proven wrong.
Covens Covens are the specific group the cats are organized into depending on the element of magic they are the best at. The first two years in the school they take classes on the different types of magic, then are sorted into a coven in their third year.
Once they graduate they stay in those covens and provide the city with jobs based in those fields, and make up the main army when the city goes into battle. Two or more covens can work together to provide a job that may require both types of magic, such as Earth and Fire for a toolsmith.
Ripplehound // 27 A friendly and happy pitch black tom. His ears are short and pointed, and his eyes are a deep blue color. Ripplehound is a large cat, but not especially bulky. And while he may be friendly, he's known as a bit of a battle maniac and will push for strong cats to battle him. He's so headstrong he'll run into a fight without thinking and get himself injured. In addition to his hasty nature, he can be somewhat unnerving to look at. His large build plays a part in that, but his sharp grin even more so. Even in dangerous battles he'll have an excited smile on his muzzle. Watergenus, and uses physical weapons. His familiar is a water dog, its power and size depends on how much water is nearby. Council Cats outside The Occult The council for government/family/etc

HI UH, THIS LOOKS SUPER FUN?? I'm not the best at writing long posts, but honestly for this I will do my heckin best. What does being a teacher entail? Other than the obvious. I feel like I should ask that before I attempt to apply for the position.
Blizzardwish // 32 years Blizzardwish is a white she-cat with a golden tail and chest. Her eyes are a vibrant green. She arrived at the Occult relatively recently, at 28 years old. She was a skilled combatant and mercenary before joining to work with the School.
Eel // 18 years Eel is a dark brown tom with patchy fur. His eyes are murky green. He's pretty reclusive, and usually only talks when he needs to. He's been with the Occult for quite some time, arriving four or so years ago. While getting him to start talking can be quite difficult, if you manage to start him up about watergenus there is a chance he might not shut up.

Teachers will be teaching classes of different students, like during the day they will go through typical events that teachers do I guess haha ^^; along with helping keeping the school grounds safe. Basically a mentor for apprentices but instead of teaching one you teach a whole class and you teach a specific subjects also ur missing a certain word ;w; sorry haha

Hey! This looks like it's going to be a lot of fun and I'd love to join! But, I have a few questions if you don't mind me asking them :3 I was wondering if cats could learn multiple types of magic, or if they would be limited to one or two, and I also wanted to know more about the familiars you mentioned in the Occult Laws section. Also, sorry if i'm missing something lol, but what exactly are the roles of Covens? Are they the warrior equivalent or? Sorry for all the questions! I just wanna be sure I understand before writing up some characters.)

Wave // 18 Years Wave is a pretty she-cat with calico markings. Her eyes are heavy sea blue-green and her tail is long, making it easy for her to climb. She is very small, and has been at the Occult since she was just 8 years old, making her staying at the Occult for 10 years. She is very independent and calm, and silent when she moves. She has a big crush on Spark, but kept it a secret. She is a bit mean, but mostly just stays away from others. She is very smart too, but when it comes to her skill... @hollyice Lizard Tongue

I'm so glad it's the weekend I could cry lol) I'll get a starter up for Ripplehound once I find a better place to throw him in.)
Spark paced around the room he would be housing in for this year, his tail flicking from side to side and his ears showing his obvious distaste for the whole thing. Spark never before had been forced to share a room with so many cats. Most of the time cats would willingly leave rooms to get away from his scathing glare and snide comments. Unfortunately, now he was going to be stuck with two to three more who didn't exactly have a choice in the matter. The indignity of it all was astounding. Spark sighed and pawed around in his items, pulling out the note that had granted him access to this place. He hadn't been part of the Occult for long, but that didn't mean he was going to stay a Newpaw forever. He planned to graduate as soon as possible with the best marks. He'd even made sure to be the first to the dorm room just so he could claim the space he wanted. Spark was anything but lazy it seemed.
There was a comfortable silence in Gingerfoots room as she did some last minute preparations. She hummed off key to herself as she busied herself with the plants lining the walls and desks of the room. As the potions teacher she was in charge of making sure her ingredients were well taken care of. And she took her job very seriously -- or as seriously as she could take something. Her plump green snake familiar lazed around in the sunlight, the faint beams warming his scales and feathered wings. Gingerfoot rolled her eyes and meowed "You're incredibly lazy you know. It's a good thing I adore you, or I might go looking for a new familiar." of course she never would though. Once she had decided everything was ready to go she gently picked up the snake and settled him into her side bag before throwing that over her shoulder and padding out of her room. There must be some other cats around to chat with while she waited.

Light had just pushed his way inside the room when he noticed a much larger Newpaw inside. Should I even introduce myself? He looks a bit scary. But we are at least going to live together for this year, I need to make some friends. Mama always said to break out my shell more. After a few more heart beats, he approached Spark. "Hello! I'm Light!" He squeaked. He certainly wasn't coming across as a strong cat right now, which was true. He didn't exactly go seeking out others, if it had been under different circumstance he would certainly have avoided even speaking.

Movement at the entrance of his room caught Sparks eye. He looked over and came face to face with a younger looking Newpaw. Tch, of course I would end up with a newbie. Though he didn't know the details of this cats abilities, he was simply the type to assume that kind of thing. "Hm." Spark looked Light up and down with a sharp gaze, seemingly unimpressed "I am Spark." he replied shortly "Since I was here first," he added smugly "I chose my area. I expect you to keep your things in your area." he swept his tail across the part of the area he'd taken for himself. It wasn't as if he'd taken more than anyone else would get. Spark may be insufferably confidence and proud, but he was at the very least fair with this.

The patter of small paws suddenly came from the hallway, gradually becoming louder as their owner dashed closer in a rapid rhythm. The pawsteps stopped just outside of the entrance to the dorm room and into a long slide as dark shadow can be seen skidding past the doorway, which turned into rapid scrambling as the she-cat changed directions. Excitedly she bolted into the room and came to a sudden halt upon seeing the other cats in the room. Flare gasped with excitement as she gazed upon her two roommates. "Hi!" she meowed excitedly. "It's so nice to meet you two, I'm Flare!" A tiny black dragon popped up over her head and looked at the two cats with interest. Flare was a tiny ball of excitement for the upcoming year. Since being in the Flame Coven, she had always looked to learn more intricate spells with her fire magic. This year they are finally moving away from the basics! She thought excitedly, at the same time as greeting the two cats.
