C'EST LA FOLIE NOIRE

The
year is 2013. A man has outed himself as a vampire and committed suicide atop
the empire state building garnering thousands of witnesses as he blazed in the
morning sun. Three months after the incident a woman claiming to be his lover
sacrificed herself to the sun in the middle of times square. More incidents of
these supernatural beings began to pop up all over the world causing mass
hysteria amidst the human population.

The year is 2016
and the world has quieted since the rise of an organization known as the Holy
Cross. Organized by a group of radical religious believers, they have vowed to
eradicate all abominations of God. Their witch hunt has seen public burnings,
stakings and cruel executions of the supernatural. With the humans siding with
the Holy Cross, supernaturals have receded further into the shadows of our
imagination.

The year is 2021.
Not far from the shores of New York lies a private island shaded in mysteries
and secrets. Inhabited only by those permitted on the island, it is a place of
refuge and peace. In the center of it all is a private

Gabriel, whose headmaster is rumored to be a descendant of the island's first
owners and also the school's founders.</span><span style="font-size:

For fear that the
island would be bought out by the Holy Cross, the island's owner agreed to
integration of more outsiders, much to the dismay of the townspeople and
students.



After all, it is
said that Elysian Island and the Academy of St. Gabriel harbor a very dark
secret. While it is known as a school for orphans and privileged alike, it is
also known for it's history of harboring fugitives. A large population of
supernaturals have sought the island as a safe haven from being hunted. For
years they have existed in it's private society able to flaunt their powers
without fear of persecution.



With humans,
supernaturals and holy cross believers threatening the balance of peace of
Elysian Island there is no safety for the bold. Nothing weighs more than a
secret, but no one can be trusted. Will you thrive in the shadows or be
swallowed by this madness dark as night?[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote][/span]<o:p></o:p></span></p>
