Magical Academy: Modern Revolution RPG
L'Académie de l'Aube: A Statement Forged in Magic
Welcome to L'Académie de l'Aube, the most controversial magical institution in centuries. It is a place built on a radical idea: that magic is not a static privilege of the blooded, but a dynamic force that belongs to anyone with the strength to wield it. The old families, the traditionalists, and the corrupt Ministry that serves them see this place as a disease. They call it a dangerous experiment, a den of unstable power, and an insult to their heritage. They are watching, waiting for the chance to burn it to the ground.
You are part of this grand, desperate experiment. You may be a disowned heir, a terrified adult who just discovered their powers, or a wild talent pulled from the streets. Your secrets are your armor, and your alliances are your only true weapons. Here, passing an exam is secondary to surviving the social minefield. A whispered rumor can be more deadly than a curse, and a forbidden romance could shatter the fragile peace.
This is your chance to prove the propaganda wrong. To forge a new legacy. To find your place in a world that was not built for you.
Your legend won't be written in ink, but in the alliances you forge and the secrets you keep. Welcome to the Dawn.

Key Figures of the Dawn
A guide to the people who will shape your time at the academy.
Faculty & Administration
Dean Elara Vance: The Visionary
The founder of the academy and a powerful witch from a respected family who sacrificed everything for her ideals. She is the calm, intelligent leader who genuinely believes in her mission, but her political naivety may be her greatest weakness. She is your ultimate authority and a potential mentor, but she may not be able to protect you from the storm she's unleashed.
Julien Thorne: The Harried Administrator
The Dean's overworked assistant, a former ministry bureaucrat who handles the endless logistical nightmares of running a revolutionary school. He is fiercely loyal but lives in a state of constant panic, convinced the academy is about to be shut down. He's the man to see for practical problems, but don't expect him to be a calming influence.
Professor Kaelen "Kael" Ironhand: The Broken Soldier
Your hands-on Elemental Magic professor, a grizzled ex-mercenary with a silver prosthetic arm. His classes are loud, dangerous, and effective. He teaches that magic is a tool, but beneath the gruff exterior, he battles crippling PTSD with illegal potions. He can teach you to fight, but he might also teach you about the price of violence.
Madame Colette Dubois: The Grudge-Bearing Intellectual
Your Modern Magical Philosophy professor, a brilliant but bitter academic who was cast out from the traditionalist elite. Her lectures are inspiring, but she carries a deep-seated need for vindication against her old rivals. She will challenge you to think, but be wary of becoming a pawn in her personal war.
Professor Alistair Finch: The Kind-Hearted Fraud
Your History of Magic professor, a gentle, dusty soul who teaches the ugly, unvarnished truth. He is a reformer at heart and a supportive teacher, but his most closely guarded secret is that his impressive credentials are mostly forged. He is a friend to the students, but a man living on borrowed time.
Dr. Lena Petrova: The Awkward Genius
The reclusive master of Technomancy, a non-blooded prodigy who blends magic with modern technology. She is a true innovator but is terrified of social interaction. If you can get past her crippling anxiety, she can open your mind to the future of magic.
Instructor Rhys Valerius: The Ruthless Survivor
Your Defensive Magic instructor, a stern, scarred non-blooded duelist who rose through the ranks of a private security firm. He teaches brutal, no-frills combat magic and has no time for the academy's philosophy. He believes survival is all that matters, and he will teach you how to stay alive when the rules no longer apply.
Elodie Montclair: The Tactician
Your Magical Etiquette professor doesn't teach manners; she teaches warfare. A retired Ministry diplomat, Elodie Montclair runs her classes like a series of covert operations. She is a sharp, pragmatic woman who will arm you with the knowledge to navigate the Ministry's bureaucratic minefields and argue with goblin bankers. Her dry wit is as sharp as a stiletto. She fights the system with its own rules, and she is fiercely dedicated to her students, driven by a secret failure in her past that fuels her crusade to ensure no one under her protection is ever broken again.
Notable Students
Seraphina Moreau: The Disowned Heiress
The prodigiously talented but arrogant daughter of a powerful family, exiled to the academy after a public scandal. She is the queen bee of the "magic-blooded" students, but her privilege is a fragile cage. She is a source of immense conflict, a potential rival, and behind the icy mask, a terrified young woman desperate for connection.
Liam Wright: The Anxious Late-Bloomer
A kind-hearted librarian in his late twenties whose newly awakened, uncontrollable power burned down his apartment building. He is eager to learn but constantly overwhelmed by fear and self-doubt. He is a source of genuine friendship and a potential romance, a gentle soul in a harsh new world.
Nocturne "Nox" Corbeau: The Feral Survivor
A feral 18-year-old from the streets, brought to the academy as a last resort. She is hostile, distrustful, and views everyone with suspicion. Her magic is chaotic and emotion-fueled. She is the most difficult student to befriend, but her loyalty, once earned, would be absolute and fierce.
Emil Weber: The True Believer
A cheerful, empathetic "magic-blooded" student from a progressive family who genuinely believes in the academy's mission. He is the group's moral compass, constantly trying to mediate conflicts and befriend everyone. He is a steadfast ally, a talented healer, and a beacon of hope in a divided school.

Added a google doc so you can see the character description the bots are getting/all the spells and location stuff since that’s all in the script.
Keywords: are what bring up the description and are usually just different words for that same thing. Think sock, socks, foot warmer, etc. The Personality: is just the description
