ABOUT FINIX
The Academy is run by the headmaster, Riyu the Vermilion Bird. Created centuries ago, it's the go-to place for mixed breeds to learn how to control their powers and learn of their non-human heritage. Kids learn general education, power control, and even have a chance to join the Academy's Guard, one of the highest honors, if they do well in their classes and pass a field exam, or become part of the school's faculty.
There's no age restriction on those who can join the school. As soon as powers develop and start manifesting themselves they have the option to join. Knowledge of the school is limited to the supernatural. While powers might skip generations and knowledge on the Academy's existence might dwindle the school has a way of finding those that display powers, often sending pamphlets covering as a prestigious boarding school to parents who don't know what's going on with their children. However, once joining the school students aren't allowed out of city limits unless part of the Guard.
Joining the school, the students are paired with another student roughly the same age. This helps develop teamwork and trust between the students, as well as gives them someone to help should powers go out of control, someone to keep the other in check. Called Bond Pairs, these students are connected spiritually to one another. They feel each others strong emotions (such as intense fear, intense happiness, and the sort), injuries, and even death. They are ultimately connected to one another.
The school has another policy, however. Students are outfitted with a bangle that can only be removed under certain circumstances. It keeps their powers in check and limits the abilities they can use, as well as connects them to their Bond Partner. However, the bangle deactivates in certain rooms of the Academy, letting students learn control and develop their abilities further. Outside of the rooms and the Academy the only way for the bangle to deactivate is for someone's Bond Partner to trust them completely. Any bit of doubt keeps the bangle active.
Finix has a Guard, a military group devoted to the protection of the school and its students. It's considered a high honor to be allowed to join the Guard after passing a general field exam. They're tasked with missions outside of the school, such as dealing with the resistance, handling out of control supernatural creatures, and breaking up fights in the school and city.
Near Finix Academy is a city, cleverly called Finix, where students and supernatural creatures can set up residence and shops. It gives the students a bit of freedom outside of the school where they can meander and meet during free days.
