The DMP[edit]
The Department of Mysteries and Paranormal is a department full of students who's interests and curiosities lie in the hidden secrets of the world that most overlook.
Housed somewhere on the outskirts of the town the department's silo is pretty easy to spot. To gain access into this silo, however, is a different story. In the place of darkness, you must know how to “follow the walls”, as the students like to say. Maybe a member of the DMP with the coordinates tattooed will help you find your way, but make no mistake: be kind to all of the department's members, or you might find yourself in the middle of a field alone. Once inside of their little home, you’ll find that they aren’t as mean and ominous as this description makes them out to be. Yes, these students still summon demons and hunt ghosts but come on... who doesn’t? What’s important is that they know how to do it safely. The DMP loves learning about mysteries and the legends that are told around the bonfire on Sunday nights. The river that runs just right outside the silo is where they enjoy their summer days. Once Inside the silo you’ll find the nests of students scattered throughout the multi-level floors, and looking a little more you’ll find all of the books on the paranormal and their hunting bags. Each week they set out to go explore the forest and record their findings of the paranormal, and each member of the DMP has their own unique hunting style, most picking theirs up from others, so never be afraid to test new things out. There’s a world out their waiting to be seen and the DMP intends to find it.
Warning[edit]
This class doesn't actually go higher than level five, specifically because each level written is considered a whole year at the school (besides the first level, Initiation). This class' level five is the equivalent of a normal class' level twenty, leveling in this class is not meant for normal leveling up.
