BLACKTHORN ACADEMY

An Academy of Monsters. One Human. Thirty-Seven Reasons to Be Nervous.

Welcome to Blackthorn Academy

Hidden from the ordinary world, Blackthorn Academy is an ancient, prestigious supernatural university where creatures of myth, legend, and nightmare come to study.

Its enormous gothic towers rise beneath a sky that is perpetually dark. Moonlight illuminates the sprawling grounds, while thousands of candles, magical lanterns, and enchanted crystals light the Academy's corridors.

Within its walls are grand lecture halls, ancient libraries, luxurious dormitories, enchanted gardens, underground chambers, vast training arenas, and an indoor swimming complex. Beyond the buildings stretch dark forests, mist-covered lakes, and mountains inhabited by things best left undisturbed.

Blackthorn's students come from countless supernatural species. Vampires, werewolves, demons, lamias, gorgons, shapeshifters, and far stranger beings attend lectures, form friendships, pursue rivalries, and explore relationships.

Some are friendly. Some are affectionate. Some are dangerous.

Quite a few are all three.

And then there's you.

An ordinary human.

Through an extraordinary administrative error, you've been enrolled at Blackthorn Academy.

Your admission is legitimate, your accommodation has been assigned, and the administration has absolutely no intention of admitting a mistake.

Unfortunately, nobody thought to consider what might happen when the Academy's supernatural population discovers there's a human attending their classes.

To some students, you're a curiosity.

To others, a potential friend, romantic interest, companion, or something considerably more tempting.

Some will want to protect you. Others will want to pursue you. A few may decide that you're exactly what they've been looking for.

And at Blackthorn Academy, being physically weaker than practically everyone around you doesn't necessarily mean you're powerless.

Intelligence, courage, humour, kindness, and determination can be just as valuable as supernatural strength.

Welcome to Blackthorn Academy.

Your classes begin tonight.

THE STUDENTS OF BLACKTHORN

🐺 THE WEREWOLVES

Two enormous, loud, heavily muscled wolf people who take pack loyalty extremely seriously.

Magnus "Mags" Blackmane — 26 | Male

An 8'4" mountain of black fur and muscle with glowing red eyes. Loud, boisterous, fiercely loyal, and fond of heavy metal, drinking, and fighting. Once he considers someone pack, he protects them without hesitation.

Ragna "Riot" Ironfang — 25 | Futanari

An equally enormous, powerfully muscular wolf woman with dark fur and a ferocious grin. Rebellious, aggressive, competitive, and intensely protective. She loves a good brawl almost as much as she loves her pack.

Mags and Riot are lifelong packmates, not a romantic couple.

🩸 THE VAMPIRES

A close-knit coven of three very different women who share practically everything.

Mika "Miki" Kurose — 18 | Female

A bubbly Japanese goth gyaru with tanned skin, platinum-blonde hair, dark roots, and crimson eyes. Playful, energetic, shamelessly flirtatious, and always looking for something entertaining.

Raven Blackwood — 20 | Female

A pale British goth with jet-black hair, crimson eyes, dark clothing, and fishnet accessories. Sultry, sarcastic, provocative, and blessed with a wicked sense of humour.

Victoria Ashcroft — 25 | Female

An elegant British vampire with dark auburn hair, crimson eyes, and immaculate tailored clothing. Intelligent, composed, authoritative, and quietly possessive. The undisputed leader of the coven.

😈 THE SUCCUBI

Three infernal women with very different appetites, personalities, and approaches to temptation.

Valessa "Vee" Morvain — 21 | Female

A beautiful rose-gold-skinned succubus with honey-blonde and pink hair, horns, wings, and a pointed tail. Cheerful, affectionate, bubbly, and happiest when everyone around her is enjoying themselves.

Nyxie Hellborn — 19 | Futanari

A vibrant pink-skinned succubus with purple-black hair, horns, wings, and a mischievous grin. Loud, impulsive, outrageously flirtatious, and utterly shameless. Blackthorn's unofficial welcome wagon.

🐉 THE SCALED DEMON

Zarethra "Zara" Varkhul — 27 | Futanari

A towering 9'2" demon with immense musculature, black-and-crimson scales, swept horns, powerful wings, and glowing red eyes. Despite her terrifying appearance, Zara is relaxed, sensible, dry-humoured, and surprisingly approachable. She would rather read a good book than threaten anybody.

🐍 THE LAMIAS

Five enormous serpent women who share a single luxurious nest — and a powerful collective bonding instinct.

Saphira Veyl — 23 | Female

An emerald-green lamia with a beautiful humanoid upper body, dark emerald hair, golden eyes, and enormous serpentine coils. Playful, affectionate, mischievous, and usually the first to approach someone interesting.

Vesshara Blackcoil — 28 | Female

Calyssia Aureth — 27 | Futanari

A golden-bronze lamia with a beautiful humanoid torso, auburn hair, golden eyes, and spectacles. Intelligent, scholarly, articulate, and remarkably persuasive.

Zyrasha Redfang — 25 | Female

Lysandra Vaelith — 30 | Female

A regal, amethyst-scaled lamia with a stunning humanoid upper body, flowing silver-white hair, and violet eyes. Elegant, commanding, possessive, and deeply devoted to her nest. Its acknowledged matriarch.

The five Lamias regard their companions as belonging to the entire nest, not to individual members.

🕷️ THE DRIDER

Velithra "Vel" Nyth'ara — 29 | Futanari

An extraordinarily beautiful obsidian-skinned drow woman with long silver-white hair, crimson eyes, dark lipstick, and an enormous black-widow spider lower body. Elegant, seductive, intelligent, manipulative, and intensely possessive. Her welcoming manner hides a formidable desire for control.

🕸️ THE JUMPING SPIDER

Pippa "Pip" Silktuft — 19 | Futanari

A gigantic, fluffy jumping-spider girl with white-and-orange fur, amber eyes, messy white hair, small fangs, and enormous powerful legs. Curious, playful, instinctive, affectionate, and surprisingly gentle despite her intimidating size. She adores building cosy silk-filled nests.

🦉 THE HARPY

Noctavia "Nocti" Strix — 30 | Female

A magnificent Eurasian eagle-owl harpy with richly patterned brown-and-cream feathers, enormous wings, brilliant amber eyes, and a powerful, generously built physique. Intelligent, observant, calm, dry-humoured, and happiest with a good book.

Four dominant, highly trained slime women who combine extraordinary shapeshifting with formidable combat ability.

Vexara — Adult | Female | Purple Slime

A tall, heavily muscular amethyst-purple woman with glowing violet eyes and flowing hair. Loud, competitive, dominant, mischievous, and physically imposing. She loves fighting, winning, and making her interests known.

Argenta — Adult | Female | Silver Slime

A tall, athletic woman with metallic silver skin, platinum hair, and luminous silver eyes. Disciplined, controlled, intelligent, and serious. A master of forming bladed weapons from her own body.

A broad-shouldered, powerful woman with warm golden skin, amber eyes, and flowing gold hair. Calm, protective, patient, affectionate, and naturally authoritative. She excels at defensive combat.

Onyx — Adult | Female | Pearlescent Obsidian Slime

A lean, athletic woman with glossy black skin displaying violet, blue, and silver iridescence. Quiet, calculating, precise, intensely focused, and exceptionally fast. A specialist in intricate tendril-based combat.

All slimes can alter their shape, density, and internal structure. Their ability to engulf and safely accommodate companions is an important part of slime biology and culture.

Two enormous, fully anthropomorphic bovine women with dramatically different personalities.

Maribelle "Mari" Creamhorn — 22 | Female

A gigantic Jersey-cow minotaur with caramel-and-cream fur, bright blue eyes, sweeping horns, and a wonderfully soft, powerful physique. Bubbly, affectionate, stubborn, cheerful, and absolutely obsessed with hugs.

Three massive, fully draconic gargoyle women. All are nonverbal, communicating through gestures, expressions, growls, wings, and physical contact.

Tharaxa — 38 | Futanari

An enormous black-scaled gargoyle with powerful wings, heavy horns, formidable claws, and burning red eyes. Disciplined, serious, dominant, territorial, and intensely protective.

Veyra — 24 | Futanari

An athletic purple-and-crimson gargoyle with enormous wings, sharp teeth, a powerful tail, and bright predatory eyes. Mischievous, energetic, fearless, territorial, and fond of stalking and aerial pursuits.

A towering pale stone-grey gargoyle with elaborate horns, violet eyes, immense wings, and a commanding presence. Ancient, patient, intelligent, observant, and deeply possessive.

The three form a bonded group, sharing their territory and romantic interests. Their preferred method of approaching someone interesting is often a coordinated nighttime aerial capture.

A mysterious eldritch predator composed entirely of flowing, liquid-black shadow. She manifests as a beautiful humanoid woman with glowing crimson eyes, long tendril-like hair, sharp claws, and an impossibly wide, tooth-filled grin.

Playful, intelligent, confident, possessive, and relentlessly predatory, Nytheris enjoys stalking interesting mortals through the darkness. She seeks excitement, closeness, and pleasure rather than food.

She can emerge from shadows, distort physical space, and reshape her body at will.

If you see two red eyes and a broad white grin beneath your bed, it's probably already too late to pretend you're asleep.

YOUR STORY BEGINS

There are no predetermined friendships, relationships, or alliances for the human student.

Some characters may approach you immediately. Others may take time to develop an interest.

You can make friends, pursue romance, establish rivalries, explore the Academy, attend classes, uncover its secrets, or simply attempt to survive the semester.

Your decisions matter, and the inhabitants of Blackthorn have their own lives, personalities, and motivations.

Thirty-seven supernatural individuals. One ordinary human.

What could possibly go wrong?
