Great Gate
No one knows the origins of the Great Gate. Most have never heard of it yet others claim it has been dormant in New Brimsbury for as long as they can remember. The Gate links the human world to Fovea, homeworld of the Atroxes.
Example of an Atrox
Atroxes are vile creatures that come in different shapes and sizes. They are strong, vicious and some are even intelligent, to an extent. In large groups, they can easily overpower humans and cause damages to human structures. Suffice to say they were considered a real threat to humanity.
Vigil of Old in Beast Form
To fight against the creatures, humans formed the Vigil Portae or Gate Watchers. Equipped with Vigil Seals, they were given the ability to morph into powerful humanoid beasts. And with this gift, they were finally able to take back the world by pushing the Atroxes back to Fovea. In the Grey War, their final battle against the Atroxes, the Vigils managed to collapse the Great Gate. Though not completely sealed, the collapse left only a small opening. This prevents the larger Atroxes from crossing through, thus significantly crippling the Atrox’s offensive forces.
The war was won; Sightings of Artoxes became few and far between.
A century had passed since then, and the world has evolved. People were no longer warriors and mages, and instead became engineers and doctors. The world had turned a new leaf with the discovery of science and technology. All things supernatural were considered superstitious and the vigil was but a forgotten myth.
The gate was hidden in a forest and around it was built a school. Named after a local landmark, a dormant volcano, Vulcan High is now an average high school, albeit an isolated one.
Due to the recent increase in Atrox activities, the students were restricted within the windowless dormitory after 7.25pm, everyday without exception. The students were kept in the dark regarding the gate but that couldn't stop them from coming up with their own version of the myth based on weird sounds some of the students claimed to have heard, little did they know that it was mostly true.
To ensure the safety of the students and at the same time to prevent Atroxes from escaping the school grounds; The Vigil was reformed in the form of the Student Council. Each member is given a Vigil seal which grants them the ability to morph like the Vigils of Old. The student council takes care of the school around the clock. During the day, they run the school, managing funds, arranging clubroom and organizing events while at night they silently patrol the grounds for Atroxes.

Gender: Female
School Year: Senior
Vigil Seal form: An amulet forged from sterling silver, but painted slightly gold. The amulet holds an emblem of two serpentine dragons wrapped about a sword, their wings spread out on either side.
Beast-form Animal: Dragon.
Appearance:
Personality: An individual of arrogance and boastfulness, yet having a powerful enough mind to back up the talk. She is intelligent, strategic, creative, and tries her best to be original with anything she says, whether it be a speech or her sarcastic humor. Florah is not one to be easily persuaded into doing something she is not fond of, and is the first to tell it how it is, for she is quite blunt.
Others: Florah, after every transformation, becomes nauseas due to the rarity and power of her bestial form. She does not fall unconscious however, unless the form is sustained for too long.
- Vice-president:
Ashton Ventresca "Ash"
Gender: Male
School Year: Sophomore
Counsil Post: Vice-President
Vigil Seal form: Ring
Beast-form Animal: Atrox
Appearance:
Personality:
Ash is a born leader and is very friendly despite his intimidating apperance. He can be strict when he has to be but is generally very approachable by his fellow students. He enjoys various sports and had a muscular build. He dislikes violence and will often stand up for less-abled students which more often than not, gets him scorned by the school jocks and bullies. He is known to be unbiased in arguments which often leads him to solve disputes between students.
Others:
Ash is one of those few counsil members who dislikes his beast form (even to the point of despising due to it taking form of an Atrox). Though strong, his form is unpredictable and will often act on its own while keeping Ashton conciously trapped in his own body, aware of everything that is going on but with no means of controlling it. This typically ends with the other counsil members having to gang up and knock him out. Due to his memory of the events, he tends to get depressed after regaining conciousness.

A lone figure waited in the middle of a large circular room. His beard tied neatly as it hung over his chest. He took a deep breath as he pulled a hood over his head. It always seems to give him an odd sense of enigma as he donned the age old robe. Leaving only his mouth visible, he smiled contently. His eyes traced the walls of the empty room, looking for any sign of life. For the moment however, it seemed that he would have to wait.
Right outside, a young man stood shivering. Rubbing his hands together, he scanned the four hooded figures before him. "Cold evening eh?", he said, smiling awkwardly fighting the natural urge to shiver. His breath visible in the night air. "As you all know, tonight we'll have our induction ceremony. This "ritual"..", he said gesturing the quote with his fingers. "...have been performed for many years now. Long before my time.", he said looking at the people before him. "You have all been elected into the council at the end of last year and have been briefed on our current situation. Now all that's left is for you to join us officially as the Vigils.", he completed with a smile.
"So, lets not keep the headmaster waiting any longer, shall we? If you would just follow us into the tower, we can get this thing started.", he said as he walked and joined another group of people waiting for him near the entrance. The four hooded figures began walking, following their predecessors inside.
As much as he's heard about the ritual, Ash couldn't help being nervous. He's heard all the amazing stories of gaining a seal and the transformations. He had never seen a council member transform however and that makes it all the more intense. The cold air surrounding him felt distant, and the whole experience felt surreal to him as he followed the group. Questions ran through his mind, 'What animal will I take after? Hope the seal turns into something I can wear.' But all those thoughts vanished as the group crossed the threshold of the tower.
It was a tower they knew only too well, it being the location of the council offices. Tonight however, was the first time they were given access into the circular room. The true center of the council, the hidden base of the Vigil Portae. His eyes widened as the former student council president pulled on a lever at the side of a large, grotesque statue; revealing a small staircase leading into the underground section of the tower. As they walked on, his eyes wondered towards his comrades. Renard, Evelyn, Krissy....and even to Max and Florah, who had been initiated the year before, wondering if they were nervous as well, thinking of the form these new initiates will take after.
