MOTAVATION! I love it. So, for my school based thread I am thinking about a school....IN HELL! Now this is a school for the upcoming judgement day. Led by the council of the Horsement of the Apocolypse. You are a demon who just got accepted!

Here is my description so far...

To hell and back with a smile on my face.I will cleanse the world of the filthy race! To kill, mutilate, and slaughter! I will destroy the earth's mother and father! I am the demon spawn from hell! I will wipe the floor with all who mean well!I will leave no trace, no stories to tell! No more will this filthy creature rule the world! For today we learn! Because tomorrow, the day of judgement arrives! What you just read is the oath of the demon. This oath has to be said for all demons who have been accepted into the academy. Hiding under the surface for too long under the watchful eye of 4th season students. You need to see the  filthy creatures you will soon destroy.

Does their curriculum mainly involve learning how to torture humans using a variety of methods?

Not sure I get the part about being "blown away" that you mentioned in the contest thread, if indeed you meant it as a pun or joke. Am I being dense or will this connection be revealed in time?

It was going to be revealed. But, the whole site crashed before I could put it in. The school is going to teach demons about the filth of the earth (us humans) and ways they have to cleanse it.

This is actually even more underwhelming then you hyped it to be. Also, it was asked before, but what is their curriculum??

Sounds like the merest fleshnugget of an idea. 9 subjects obviously.

1st subject - History. Boring as hell.

2nd subject - Art. Lotta nudes, not much else.

3rd - Home ec - And the recipe is always a desert.

4th - Home ec again, this time with a more raiding and martial bent. Bring your own siege equipment.

5th - Maths. Cause nothing gets the frothing rage then numbers being all logical and stuff.

6th - Religion. Nuff said.

7th - Gym/Music. Either physical, or more symbolic violence done to each other, or the sheetmusic.

8th - Debate class - Cause it's all about the words and spinning, right captain?

9th - English with a focusGroup Projects - Nothing says treachery and backstabbery, like doing 90% of the work and sharing the grade.

One elective, and it's a Debate/Drama crossover. Nobody is happy. NOBODY.

So, for my first page, I gave a basic idea of what is going on.

Some basic things you need to know. 

You were a "Chanter" in the past life you had. Meaning that by the age of 12, you killed your parents with a sacrificial knife passed down from Chanter to Chanter. Chanters, by the way, worship the Devil! They make  human sacrifices, commit blood letting (Cutting their own vein and led the bowl drip in a bowl, mainly for sacrifices.), wear your stereotypical emo clothing, and of course, chant mantras.

The overworld is basically earth, the underworld is hell, and the upworld is heaven, upworld is what we will call heaven though. 

Humans have ruled the world with hatred. Papal supremacy, ( the act of one man ruling the entire world) has taken place many times throughout the course of history. All non-renewable resources have been exhausted, meaning that all means of modern transportation have become useless. Of course, humans now rely on hydroelectricity to cope with this situation. 

You died by a group called "The Purifiers", a corrupt group of the theocracy, (Government based on religion) that found you and your other group of chanters in an abandoned forest far from the local Purifier headquarters. Rusty, Hydroelectric chainsaws sliced into your throat, slicing through every muscle, artery, vein, you name it. 

In hell, you were accepted into a special academy of the past chanters. it is ran by the Devil, with his friends, The Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The academy purpose is to raise an army of elite demons for the upcoming judgement day. However, you, and other demons think it is a chance to get revenge on "The Filth" (What they call humans.) that wronged you.

"Hello, and of course, WELCOME TO HELL! You did some pretty bad shit up there on the Overworld didn't you...? Come on don't lie to me, you know you did something."

... did... Did you just list of the 9 circles of Hell from The Inferno?

Because, if so, you got the order wrong, but props for the thought.

No, I did not try to list them.

Edit:Thanks!

Actually, I was talking to iavatus.

But you're doing good so far too!

Whoops, well, thanks!
