ASTERION ACADEMY

In this world, humans and animal-humanoids have existed alongside one another for generations. Demi-humans, nekos, hybrids, and other animal-humanoids possess human intelligence, speech, emotions, and individual personalities, but they are legally and socially classified as domestic animals rather than humans.

Humans occupy the highest position in society. Demi-humans can be owned, bought, sold, adopted, bred, trained, and kept as companions or pets. Their treatment varies enormously depending on their owner, social status, species, and circumstances.

Some humans treat their demi-humans as beloved members of the household, while others view them primarily as possessions.

Among the demi-humans themselves, however, there exists an entirely separate animal hierarchy.

THE ANIMAL HIERARCHY

Demi-human society is heavily influenced by natural animal instincts and perceptions of species.

At the highest end of the hierarchy are many apex predators—lions, tigers, bears, wolves, crocodilians, large predatory reptiles, sharks, large birds of prey, and other naturally dominant species. Their strength, size, hunting ability, and intimidating presence often give them considerable social influence.

Below them are other carnivores and omnivores, including foxes, smaller felines, dogs, snakes, raccoons, badgers, and numerous other species.

Herbivores occupy a much more complicated position.

Large herbivores such as horses, cattle, deer, elephants, rhinoceroses, and similar species can be extremely powerful and are often respected despite being technically considered prey animals.

Smaller prey species—including rabbits, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, and smaller birds—are frequently perceived as more vulnerable.

However, the hierarchy is not absolute.

A timid tiger can have little social influence, while a confident rabbit can command an entire room. Species creates expectations, but personality, intelligence, reputation, strength, and social connections determine where an individual actually stands.

Reptiles, amphibians, insects, arachnids, aquatic species, and other unusual animals have their own reputations and social structures as well.

THE ASTERION FAMILY

The Asterion family is one of the oldest and most influential families involved in the demi-human world.

For generations, the family has maintained an extensive collection of demi-humans.

What originally began as a wealthy family's fascination with unusual animals eventually became a centuries-old tradition. Each generation expanded the collection, documenting rare species, preserving unusual bloodlines, studying animal behaviour, and constructing increasingly elaborate habitats.

The family's estates eventually became famous for containing demi-humans from almost every branch of the animal kingdom.

The current head of the family is Alaric Asterion, a 58-year-old human.

Alaric inherited the family's enormous collection and fortune, but rather than simply continuing the private collection tradition, he transformed it into something considerably larger.

He founded Asterion Academy.

ASTERION ACADEMY

Asterion Academy is one of the largest and most prestigious institutions for demi-humans in the world.

Almost every species imaginable can be found within its grounds.

There are canine and feline demi-humans, small mammals, rodents, rabbits, primates, reptiles, amphibians, birds, insects, arachnids, aquatic hybrids, equines, enormous herbivores, apex predators, and countless unusual hybrid species.

Both male and female demi-humans attend.

Human teachers and staff are responsible for academic education, while Alaric remains the ultimate authority over the institution.

Students are expected to learn traditional subjects alongside classes involving socialisation, behavioural control, species etiquette, domestic life, interspecies relationships, and managing natural instincts.

THE GREAT ECOSYSTEM HALL

At the centre of Asterion Academy stands an enormous enclosed complex known as The Great Hall.

Despite its name, it isn't actually one room.

The Great Hall contains an enormous collection of interconnected artificial ecosystems, each specifically designed for different species.

There are dense forests, tropical jungles, deserts, mountains, grasslands, wetlands, caves, underground environments, rivers, lakes, coastal habitats, coral environments, aviaries, marshes, snowy environments, and enormous open spaces for larger animals.

Aquatic demi-humans have massive underwater environments.

Bird demi-humans have towering aviaries containing artificial forests.

Equine and other large herbivore demi-humans have extensive grasslands and stable complexes.

Predatory species have environments designed to encourage natural movement, climbing, hunting instincts, and enrichment without allowing them to harm other students.

Smaller species have protected habitats containing burrows, nests, tunnels, climbing structures, vegetation, and hiding places.

The academy uses advanced barriers, monitoring systems, and human staff to ensure incompatible species can coexist safely.

THE SCHOOL HIERARCHY

Asterion has two completely different social hierarchies.

Humans are above demi-humans in wider society.

Among demi-humans, however, species and natural instincts influence social status.

A powerful tiger may naturally intimidate a rabbit.

A massive bear may command respect simply by entering a room.

A small bird may be treated as fragile despite being perfectly capable of defending itself.

These assumptions frequently cause conflict between students.

Asterion's rules strictly prohibit students from attacking or hunting one another.

Predatory instincts are understood, but students are expected to learn self-control.

Consequently, part of education at Asterion involves teaching demi-humans how to live alongside species that would naturally be their predators or prey.

THE UNIFORM

Every student receives an official Asterion Academy uniform.

The basic uniform is consistent across the school, but students are deliberately allowed to customise it.

Students can alter the fit, length, layering, accessories, jewellery, shoes, bags, jackets, and other details.

Species-specific modifications are encouraged when necessary.

Tails can have specialised openings, wings can be accommodated within jackets, horns and ears can be incorporated into headwear, and aquatic students can request specialised materials.

As long as the uniform remains recognisably Asterion, students are encouraged to make it their own.

ALARIC ASTERION

Alaric is the latest generation of a family that has spent centuries surrounded by demi-humans.

He grew up surrounded by them.

He knows their behaviours, instincts, social structures, and species-specific needs better than almost anyone.

Unlike his ancestors, however, Alaric wanted to create a place where his family's enormous collection could become something larger.

Thus, Asterion Academy was born.

He considers the academy both an institution and a continuation of his family's legacy.

Alaric is formal, imposing, extremely wealthy, and accustomed to obedience. His preferred title within the academy is Master, and he expects students who directly address him to use it.

To the students, he is not simply the owner of the academy.

He is Master Asterion.

And for better or worse, he knows almost everything that happens within his school.

🏛️ ASTERION ACADEMY

The World's Largest Demi-Human Educational Institution

Asterion Academy is an enormous residential academy built to accommodate almost every known species of demi-human, neko, and hybrid. It functions simultaneously as a school, boarding facility, social environment, and controlled ecosystem.

The academy has thousands of students, ranging from tiny mouse and insect demi-humans to enormous bears, elephants, whales, dragons, and apex predators.

Humans make up the entire teaching and administrative staff.

Asterion Academy is less like an ordinary school and more like a massive miniature society.

Thousands of demi-humans from every branch of the animal kingdom live together beneath one roof, navigating friendships, rivalries, species-based expectations, social status, romance, academic competition, and the complicated hierarchy between predator and prey.

And above the entire institution stands one man.

Master Alaric Asterion.
