Background:
Over ten years ago, some children from all over the world, mostly infants and very young children, disappeared all at once, without known reason. The majority of the children came from orphanages and damaged families. The government was quick to hide these disappearances from the media and outside world, often paying off the families to keep quiet. This carried on for several years, without anything happening. Nothing was heard about the children, and the families lost hope.
Eventually, the children were returned to their families. Although not all came back. Wherever the children had been was unknown to all, but no questions were asked. Life went on. But the kids were changed. They didn't act the same as they had before the disappearances. They didn't do well in school and were often not accepted by others in society. They kept to themselves usually. And sometimes, unexplainable things happened with these children that were typically not spoken about ever again.
Over time, news came about what had happened to the children. A secret government organization had been started that began experimenting with the combining of human and animal DNA. They had started with prisoners, adults, people with lifelong sentences who would never return to society. The first experiments didn't go so well. Either they would die or show little to no change. They needed younger subjects, ones they could watch over time. So they took the children. The responses in the younger subjects was different from that of the prisoners. They showed more change, and fewer died. It was believed that when the children began reaching adolescence, the animal DNA would become more present. The children would be able to morph completely or partially into the animal, and easily return to human form. They children had very small chips inserted into their wrists that would make it possible for the organization to monitor them. This was kept secret from the rest of the world.
Shortly after the children were returned, the organization was closed down by a international agent. The children were still monitored, to make sure they didn't hurt anyone, or themselves. From watching the children, they could see that they didn't quite fit in with the normal world. Although they didn't show signs of their animal DNA yet, it was still clear they didn't fit in. So it was decided that a school would be opened, just for the children. They would be taught how to control their animal sides, how to fit better in society, and also classes they would be taught in a normal school, like science and english, etc. They live at the school for the year and then return home for the summer, if there is a home for them to return to. If not, they go home with other shifters, or staff members from the school.
The school goes from fifth grade to twelfth, ranging from ages 10 to 18. The kids can go to the school for all seven years, or they may return to normal human schools if they wish. Harris Boarding School is a very large school in the middle of nowhere, unknown to to most. There are a large variety of classes, such as normal curricular, arts classes, animal classes, etc. The school has a gym, many classrooms, including art classroom and a woodshop, living quarters, an auditorium, a rec room, a large cafeteria, an infirmary, and a huge outdoor area with a lake and foliage and other landscape types for all kinds of species.
There are two students per room, and they are of the same gender, and around the same age.
The school day starts at 9:15am and ends at 4:30pm, although depending on schedules, some may end earlier. Students are then free to do as they wish.
Meals are held in the cafeteria at 8-9am, 12-1:30pm, and 5-7pm. Not mandatory.
Students may have as many or as few classes as they choose. The only mandatory classes are the normal curricular and the animal controlling class. All else is free to choose.
Students must be in their rooms by 10pm.
Students are free to do as they please on saturdays and sundays, although the curfew is midnight.
Substances are not allowed in the school and if caught, can result in punishments, such as cleaning assignments, etc.
Certain behaviors and acts [vandalism, fighting, staying passed curfew, opposite genders in rooms, etc] can also result in punishments.
((but we all know things will still happen, just like a normal school, so if you choose to do these things, don't get caught, or you're cleaning. ;p))

normal roleplay rules, blahblahblah. Multiples are fine if you can control them. Each student can only change into ONE animal. You may play teachers if you like, but they are not necessary, they can just be side characters with little importance.
