This is a really odd and weird and strange idea but it came to me while out and about and I'm falling in love with it. And I am still working on the details so I would love some help collaborating and fine-tuning this devil of a plot into something spectacular!
Essentially and in a nut shell, here's what I'm thinking -
The world of magic has been a quiet one and it hasn't come out of the shadows yet. Anyone with any sort of gift (magical, supernatural, whatever you like) is careful to not be found out and maybe some don't even know they have the gift. Or maybe people do know and while that has made life complicated, they make do with what hand they've been dealt. Maybe they've had magic all their lives or perhaps it is something new. Whatever their background or sob story, they all receive a letter from an unknown sender, inviting them to the Hollow Academy for The Gifted. As students, teachers, consultants, groundskeeper or perhaps if the academy doesn't suit them, a place of their own in the town of Sleepy Hollow. Whatever the reason for coming, it doesn't matter because once they arrive, their old lives are left behind and now they have a new road to travel on. There are so many exciting things going on in Sleepy Hollow and as every day passes, it becomes harder to leave.
Just the bare bones. It wouldn't just be about everyone at the Academy but also the goings-on in the town. I'd love to mix science in with the magic. Remember Tim Burton's version of Sleepy Hollow? No? Watch it. Now. It's amazing. But aside from that, if you HAVE seen the movie, that's where the inspiration is coming from for this. Except magic is a reality, mixed with science and logic. There is a point to the Academy, essentially someone is building an army of a sort, collecting magic/power. For what exact reason is unknown and will be for awhile during the game as everyone adjusts with their characters and each other.
The idea is mostly for crossing fandoms (example, I would be bringing Annie Edison in)with each other and mashing them all together (AU or canon, your choice ^^) but it can also be open for originals. It would be set in modern day times but that doesn't mean the characters have to have been born in this century. Pretty much, if you can think of a good reason for your character to be called to Sleepy Hollow, tell me. I'm open to all ideas and plot bunnies!
Any other questions? Because I can't think of anything else and I'm too caffeinated to think straight.
