  In a world where the four seasons thrive, life goes on. And it moves quite fast. Rather they be intentional, natural, or accidental, there are still issues and disasters that happen just like they do in any other world including our own. But there is also great beauty. The kind that easily overshadowed the natural majesty of any others. The first settlers of this land would realize that quite quickly.
  
  To honor the four seasons, one city was created for each. The cities of Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring. Each was built in the very heart of the landscape in their respective season. After so many years of careful care, the land had formed very natural borders to separate the biomes of each area. Every city is unique, with wondrous landscapes, flora, and fauna.
  Before this could bring about a conflict among the people of the cities a plan was soon put into action to ensure at least the slightest bit of unity between the four cities was kept. A school was built right in the center of the land where the seasons met. Though, of course, students don’t always get along and some stereotypes about each one depending on their home cities still exist. But things, though slowly, seem to be improving.
  
  In this world, two species exist. Both species are native to every city and are allowed to travel and inhabit different cities regardless of their birth season.
  
  PECULIARS: The species that is physically human. They appear just as any normal person does, but they have powers related to the city of their birth. They do not have animal characteristics. ( ex: a peculiar with regeneration powers from spring.)
  HYBRIDS: The species that appears mainly human, aside from animal features and characteristics. Hybrids can have animal ears, tails, eyes, etc. The creature they have the characteristics of aligns with the city of their birth. They do not have powers. ( ex: a hybrid with wolf ears and a tail from winter )

This is a really interesting idea! Are insects allowed for Spring/Summer? Or just terrestrial mammals/reptiles/birds?

Thank you for the compliment!
But when it comes down to characters involved with the academy, I'd have to say that the presence of hybrid insects wouldn't be the best or do much good to the planned plot.
Outside of the school, however, there could be some knowledge of their existence (perhaps as a rare breed of hybrids?) if that helps in any way?

I just want to know what the limitations for each place is ^^ Like if aquatics/reptiles are allowed anywhere or if its specifically birds and mammalian hybrids. So insects are a no which is totally fine!

If possible, I'd like to express interest in an Autumn spot and a Winter spot. If we're only allowed to have one character, I'll stick to Winter.
