"We are a final hope in these dreaded people's lives. Away from the prying eyes of a forsaken, corrupted society, safe from the vultures who call themselves a government, we are an established foundation of protection for those who would be labeled as 'abnormal'. This world is going downhill faster than a snow sled in a Northern winter, and it is a natural born instinct to crave an escape route from this Hell that we call our earth. We 'abnormal' people have no chance unless we are together, or perhaps isolated from the rest of the world; it is futile to ask for peace alongside 'normal' human beings, and so we are driven here, to perhaps the last safe place in the world for those of our kind."

-- Madame Athalia Marie Beaumont

The year is 2005, and Hadley Institute for the Arts, located off the coast of the Northeastern United States, is one of the most popular academies for the literal, visual, performing, and musical arts. They hide their secrets well.

Within these elegant walls is a secret that the government has sought after for ages and the public knows virtually nothing about. Ever since its founding in 1912 by musician John William Hadley, the institute has been a place for teenagers to learn about and progress in their fields of art, living culturally among a diverse group of people and seeking one of the best artistic educations in the Western Hemisphere. Quite a few of them don't know what's in store for them on the other side of the tall double doors, though -- vampires and werewolves and Gypsies, oh my!

For years, the government has been lingering on the topic of vampires and werewolves, seeking a final, solid answer to their existence. Hadley Institute just happens to have that answer. Though this secret is kept from the public, rumours circle the word -- fliers, the Internet, even old books from the age it was founded, and naturally, people become interested in such things. That's how most of the vampires and werewolves find solitude and stop running from the dangerous public: they find rumours of Hadley playing host to people like them. The same applies to Gypsies, who find a safe place to practice their culture, though persecution is more familiar to them than that of werewolves and vampires.

The school year progresses like any academy: students attend classes, attend holiday events, make friendships and enemies, fall in love. Occasionally, you hear a howl from the woods, though it's a wonder how wolves got onto Hadley Island. Your best friend might be terribly afraid of sunlight, and you wonder why he keeps asking for red Kool-Aid. That girl in your English class might suddenly curse you for making fun of her exotic hair-do.

It's just any ordinary school... Right?

[i]"We're outcasts.[/align]"There's no other way to describe it, really. The year is 2005, our kinds have existed for generations - since the dawn of time and human existence, to be precise - and yet, we're persecuted. Why can't we live in peace alongside the 'humans'? We're not contagious. In fact, Gypsies were once a race of people on their own, and if you want to think creatively, they still are. Vampires simply crave life -- we're not something the world should shun. Would humans like it if we just snapped their necks and threw them off bridges because they looked at us wrong? And werewolves can't help that they change at the full moon; half of them don't even like it, but they adjust to their lives. The government - Hell, the [u][b]world[/b][/u] - can just take our 'disease' and shove it somewhere.[align=center]"So why do we have to be outcasts?"[/align][align=right]-- Madame Athalia Marie Beaumont[/align][/i]

The year is 2005, and all's quiet on the Eastern Front. Or is it?

Hadley Institute for the Arts is a boarding school off the coast of the Northeastern United States, and it hosts a wide variety of people -- a very wide variety. Founded in 1912 by William John Hadley as a school for the arts, it provided a comfortable setting and an easy way to experience culture, whether it was with music, theatre, literature, or traditional canvas art, but it was more than that: it was a place for vampires and werewolves to live, freely and openly, and actually [i]live[/i]. William John Hadley founded a place for the "abnormal" children of the world to study the arts of the world and be independent from the scornful, often murderous eye of the government.

As comes with a proper school, curriculum is stressed -- the best professors in all fields of study offered at Hadley Institute are set at the school, opening the minds of the students and helping them express themselves. Gypsies are also welcome at the school, escaping the persecution of the world and its discriminators. There's no telling if they're giving you that scary look because of their clairvoyant abilities, if your best friend is a werewolf (so [i]that's[/i] why he didn't come to the midnight party!), or that girl in your third period class is a vampire (I always knew that Kool-Aid looked weird...)

But when you go to Hadley, you learn to get along. There are quite a few disputes, whether it's between humans and vampires or vampires and werewolves, but that's to be expected. In the meantime, escaping the eyes of the government as best as possible, the institute tries its best to avoid a war.
