The Demon Prince isn't even born yet!

Set long before the story of The Demon Prince goes to the Academy begins, you will be playing as a student going to Temple.

This world is divided into two. The Human Empire and the Darklands, home to the demons. Demons are generally strong but have inherent weaknesses that can never truly be overcome. Humans are mostly weak and short-lived but can live life freely within the safe borders of the Empire with a certain level of freedom. However, the two sides are constantly at odds with each other. Some Demons require humanity to survive and prosper. Vampires drink blood, goblins are all born male, succubi and incubi feed on life energy. Humans are seen as prey by some demons, or just plain worthless. Demons can be dangerous and unpredictable beings to both themselves and especially humanity. However, humanity has their own weapons to defend themselves: Magic, Magic Power Reinforcement, Paladins who use holy power and Psychics. These 4 superpowers are restrictive to learn, but those who do learn them are a step above normal humans or even normal demons. The Human Empire pushes for progress in each field, with special training regimes and education provided to prospects to prepare them for their future within the Empire. Demons can learn the same abilities, but are all born with their own natural Demonic Power, which is their psychic power equivalent.

This is all coming to fruition with the current Demon King, both a demon of great personal power and who has the demonic ability to mentally dominate other demons; sequestering his forces and resources into a large fortress. The empire stands tense and on guard, as an old enemy raises its head again.

Your character might not know or give a damn about all of this, but there is something special about them. Through luck or effort, they are talented or accomplished. Talented enough to be granted a position at the Empire's most prestigious academy: Temple, and in one of the two most prestigious classes. Either Royal or Orbis. Only roughly 20 students per year are allowed to enter each class. The Royal class selects for talent only, not caring for noble bloodline or rank. The Orbis class selects for current ability, and whilst some members will have some level of talent...most are talentless rubes who have had to claw their way into their position with grit. You are joining Temple at a time of great tension, with various groups working in secret to either start, prevent or profit off the incoming Demon World War.

One thing remains certain, your school life will not be a smooth, pleasant journey.

>Create a new character from scratch. This will involve rolling and voting on Talents, Aptitudes, Traits and such, which will determine what supernatural powers you will be able to learn. You can choose to be a human or a demon spy if you want.
>Give me a choice of pre-made characters (I've got 4 for you to choose from on a scale of difficulty.)
