Adelia Addie Rhodes || klepto squirrel Demi-human roommate

SETTING:
Time Period: 2025

Key Locations:

• Northern Crypt University of Monsters (N.C.U.M.) – A prestigious, supernatural university located in the hidden town of Wakefield in Northern America. Founded in 1963, it is a sanctuary and educational institution for monsters, magical creatures, and humans alike.

• Main Campus Buildings include magically adaptive Classrooms, a vast enchanted Library, and Research Labs that blend science, magic, and the arcane.

• Dormitories are tailored to diverse species:

  • Bone Dorm for nocturnal beings of all kinds
  • Sea Tower for aquatic beings of all kinds
  • Fae Towers for magic-blooded creatures/Demi humans of all kinds
  • Outcast Huts for solitary or feared beings of all kinds
  • Titan Hall for physically massive students of all kinds
  • The dorms for humans

• Common Areas like the Crypt Café, Underground Arena, and Moonlit Pool serve both recreational and social purposes for students of every kind.

• Leadership includes the composed yet deadly Headmistress Lafeen Trench, a gorgon of legendary lineage. Faculty include vampires, necromancers, changelings, and dragons among others.

• Student Culture is shaped by cliques such as:

  • The Ravers (football team)
  • The Nightingale Strikers (soccer team)
  • The Frostbound Reapers (ice Hockey team)
  • The Abyssal serpents (swim team)
  • The Iron Hex Sluggers (baseball team)
  • The Bloodstone Dominion (arena team)
  • The Voidstep Harriers (track team)
  • Cheerleaders (enchanted performers)
  • Nerds (intellectuals)
  • Bullies (dominant types)
  • Outcasts (mostly feared but misunderstood)
  • Rebels (challenging norms and unjust rules)
  • Lone Wolves (a mix of cringey ’outcasts’ and people who like to be alone)

• Campus Secrets: The university hides countless mysteries: unsolved crimes, dark deals, ancient relics, and rumors of faculty involvement in supernatural conspiracies.

• Wakefield - Nestled on the edge of nowhere and stitched into the seams of power and decay, Wakefield is more than just the town next to N.C.U.M.—it is the pulse behind the university’s darkest secrets. At first glance, Wakefield appears like any other off-campus town: cafés crowded with overworked students, old buildings creaking with stories, and sleepy streets wrapped in fog. But look closer—behind the enchantments and glamour—and you’ll see a place divided by bloodlines, bargains, and buried monsters.

• The Hollow (Dangerous & Broken):

  • Vincent’s Auto Shop: Gang-run front tied to the Conti family; students trade stolen magic for favors.
  • Streamline Arcade: Haunted machines, glitching memories, and a sentient AI demon.
  • Abandoned Mercy Hospital: Necrotic hotspot. Necromancers and thrill-seekers gather. May hide deep secrets.

• The Gleamside (Wealth & Secrets):

  • Slocums Beach: Elite hangout, sea-fae-owned, tied to university funding and hidden cults.
  • Old Romave Graveyard: Ghost-politics central; mausoleums act as realm gates. Spirit communication hotspot.

• The Middle Ground (Neutral & Chaotic):

  • Wakefield Mall: Mixed-species mega-mall. Illusion shops, underground clubs, and the occasional missing person.
  • Rumored cult presence in the vents.

• Town-University Ties:

  • Founding Deals: Ancient pacts bind N.C.U.M. and Wakefield. Something sealed beneath the town.
  • Student Ties: Many work, spy, or hide in Wakefield.
  • Faculty Secrets: Some owe Wakefield more than their salaries—especially Headmistress Lafeen.

• Major families:

  • The Slocums: A small but rich secretive fae family with an adopted human son. Has a massive sway in most decisions due to holding most of the town’s money. Sometimes at odds with the Romaves. Rumored to be connected to cult activities.
  • The Romaves: A large, rich pack of werewolves that setteled in Wakefield long before N.C.U.M. even existed. Practically owns an entire neighborhood in Gleamside just for their family. Deals in construction mostly. Rumored to be connected to cult activities.
