So, here's the deal with the Dark Lord so far:
I'll take angelwolf123's idea about that he's created by corrupted staff. They thought they would be powerful by creating him, but things got terribly wrong. However, in case they die, the Lord won't die, because he has gathered enough power to stop being dependent on his creators. And not many people from the school's staff will be corrupted.
The Shadow gave a great idea about attacking the school being the first step for taking over the world. However, he would rather use it as a tool than an obstacle. He would invade a supernatural school, which would give him even more power, which can help him take over he world.
I like Moon watcher's idea about a shadow messing up with the little kids' minds. Actually, many shadows might start doing the same.
The biggest goal of the Lord (besides the world) is taking over the academy. Trough the story, he'll be finding different ways to take steps leading to his desire. Dark will be the one of the major tools. (That doesn't mean that he can't do whatever he wants, so angelwolf123 can control him the way she wants. Dark might not obey everything the Lord orders) At first nobody would know anything about this, even the corrupted teachers would for some reason think that the Lord wouldn't be dangerous for now. There will be different kind of shadows. We have Dark, who is trying to befriend the people. We have the shadows who mess up with everyone mentally. There will also be shadows that would even start attacking(They'll come further in the story). You can think of many things that the shadows would do.
In the mean time the main characters are bonding with each other, while improving their powers, balancing between homework\teaching, social life and eventually the Dark Lord issue. That's the basis of the roleplay, the rest will be written by all of us. Feel free to give ideas in the OOC. From time to time I'll give all of you permission to take control over the Lord and most of the shadows (Not Dark. He belongs to angelwolf123, unless she gives the permission) so you can bring your ideas into the story faster. Remember, the ideas aren't only about the Lord issue.
