In Nomine Anime setting: Grigori High
Here's a setting I invented last December for In Nomine Anime. The PCs are celestials with Roles as pupils (or potentially their pets) at Grigori High, a typical Japanese magical girls' school. It should soon become apparent that the game is intended to be played at a high brightness, low contrast, and the humour turned all the way up to garish.
Grigori High is a boarding school for teenage girls with unusual powers. (Including the ability to pronounce the name of the place. In accordance with the law of inverse dignity, high-ranking NPCs such as government ministers and Superiors have increasing difficulty with the name.) The establishment is funded by the Japanese government, which has an obvious interest in keeping supernatural adolescents from disrupting normal life. Various secretive agencies also hope the girls can be trained to serve their country as soldiers, secret agents, crime-fighters and/or geisha. Heaven and Hell both find it useful to conceal the exact nature of the school and cover up any little accidents that may occur there. The teaching staff is composed entirely of nuns, from an order controlled by Laurence. Presumably a few are Soldiers of the Sword, and it is likely that Dominic, Asmodeus and others have agents among the students. However, Celestials are not allowed (except for Remnants), and any who are discovered are liable to be vessel-killed. The punishment for any boys found on the premises is also corporeal and traumatic. |

Not a girl, with the equal and opposite sort of curse?
*evil grin* Botched Song of Numinous Corpus. Interventions explain everything.

Re: In Nomine Anime setting: Grigori High
Also good, but for 'mother', read 'Superior'. Not to be confused with Mother Superior, of course.
