The year is 20XX, the future of the wizarding world has provided Wizards and Witches alike the chance to intermingle with the Muggle world, meaning that, unlike how it was before where magic was seen as nothing but a childish fantasy, now magic exists as a very solid concept in the Muggle world. Magicians are able to use their magic without being forced to hide from the other world. Obviously, such a transition was not easy on the wizarding world’s part, and the old time era bias towards Muggles in general, but with new generations it is safe to say that this mind set has almost been abolished. Yet, this society is not perfect, underneath this era of peace, happiness, and equality, exists a burgeoning movement. Conflicts between old magic and new magic has arisen, magic that would oft be ignored for the more traditional Latin based spells. As such, divides have occurred in the wizarding world over the types of magic currently existing, and some institutions have taken benefit in the push for a more diversity in magic. One of the most prominent educational centers in the world has taken the liberty of dedicating it halls for the study of magical diversity. Esterview School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, located in one of the most boisterous, and often time overwhelming cities around, New York. It is considered to be part of the small collection of Ivy League Wizarding schools in the world, offering invitations to students all around the country, and offering the most diverse catalog of magical arts. Esterview; much like the famed Hogwarts is split into Houses, although each of the houses is dependent upon differing areas of magical study. You play a student of this illustrious Academy, here magic is divided into 4 groups: Naturalism, Taoism, Shamanism, and Voodoo. All these areas of study will be studied extensively here, and will hopefully foster a new respect for diverse and complex arts.

Though of course not everyone is so welcome to the Academy's attempts at blending the two worlds, and so new more isolationist cults have appeared to halt the crowds of eager students looking to attend the Academy and learn, furthermore the school has come under the careful watch of the Congress of Sorcery' as they suspect some students come with far more nefarious plots in mind for the upcoming school year. Whatever it may be, the Esterview administration would not bat an eye to these threats all the whole tending to the impressionable young minds they'll be teaching.

Esterview Academy is based in the metropolitan city of New York. That makes it the most populous Wizarding Academy, and one of hte most prestigious located around the country. Unlike most Magical Academies, Esterview accepts students 15 years or older, and serves as a 'high school' of sorts for wizards and witches that show considerable talents and wish to expand their repertoire. Esterview is seen as a a rather liberal school, and it wishes to encourage it's students to seek magical greatness by the merit of their freedom. They offer attendance to the school by sending invitations to most eager and fledgling wizard and witches around the country, and they have taken magical arts that would have been all but lost to the western hemisphere of the world. They teach 3 different types of magical not commonly seen in places like Hogwarts, or Beaubaxtons. They include:

Oriental Magic:
Which is magic that is borrowed form the Eastern Hemisphere and is prominent for it's focus on balancing the soul, and forces of the natural world. House Luna is regarded as having the most alumni who follow closely with it. Although being placed in any of the houses is done on the virtues within each student and not magical aptitude.

Native American Shamanism:
A magical form that would have all been lost where it not for the small amount of schools preserving it's tradition and passing it on. This magic relies on using spirits as a source of both power and premonition. House Astra is regarded as having the most alumni that preserve it. Although being placed in any of the houses is done on the virtues within each student and not magical aptitude.

Voodoo:
A traditional magic with roots in Africa, and which was further spread in places like Louisiana and the Caribbean, this magic places a large focus on items, dolls, charms, potions and poisons, all used to benefit it's users in more ways than one. House Terra is regarded as having the most alumni who choose to undergo it's rigorous course work. Although being placed in any of the houses is done on the virtues within each student and not magical aptitude.

Naturalism:
A term which more or less categorizes the European Latin based magic that framed the Wizarding world for millennia. While the easiest and more prominent, this magic is taught to all students at the Academy to some degree to make sure they fit easily into a career post graduation. House Solis is synonymous with this magical archetype. Although being placed in any of the houses is done on the virtues within each student and not magical aptitude.

Expectations

• This roleplay takes place in a future beyond that of the series, though there isn’t a set year, it’s safe to assume that your favorite Harry potter characters are either quite old, or dead.
  
• Not allowing anyone to play canon characters, period.
  
• Although, your character can be descendants of canon characters, just be sure to reserve this in the OOC, if there are too many siblings from the same family, I will start locking these families out for the sake of variety.
  
• I’m looking for literate players who can at least post 1 paragraph in IC posts
  
• This roleplay will have some mature themes, along the lines of violence, and mystery, though we should all try to keep it PG-13
  
• Student characters are required to be in their 5th, 6th, or 7th years(meaning that 15 is the youngest, and 19 is the oldest), this will be the set age limit for the entirety of the roleplay.
  
• Choose what House your character will be in, if we get too many characters in one house then I'll start limiting who can join what (though I doubt we will).
  
• Not sure what else to put but this list may be expanded or edited later, depending on the circumstances.
