King Paulus’s Military Institute

Founded on behalf of King Paulus, ruler of the Kingdom of Buffon, King Paulus’s Military Institute trains Leonaisians from the age of thirteen to become an animists in the span of four years. The requirements to qualify and even graduate from the military institute are brutal and only the finest emerge.

Staff:

Tonsou Legibon: Head Secretary

The Gatekeeper: Gatekeeper to the institute

Others:

Elien De Vos: Ambassador of Buffon

Ogre: Bodyguard to the Ambassador of Buffon

Dumortier: Bodyguard to the Ambassador of Buffon

Tribes: The students at the military institute are divided into the four official tribes. These tribes are strongly associated with the noble tribes of Leonaise, and as a result the rivalry between each tribe, partially driven by the military institute, is genuine. Each tribe is represented by a leader and their four elites. Throughout the year, tribes compete in deadly competitions.

Matrix Opal Lions: Strongly associated with the Faceless King, ruler of Leonaise, and generally headed by one of his children.

Leader: Eternity

Elites: Crow Shaman, Dragongrasped, Cloudstalk, Red

Bronzite Buffalos: Strongly associated with the second most powerful family in Leonaise, the Beno tribe, it is typically headed by one of its members.

Leader: Sin

Elites: Squirm, Loom, Meranti, Even

Jet Apes: The least successful of the four tribes isn’t actually led by any one Leonaise tribe. It’s typically led by the castaways and features many smaller tribes.

Leader: Shitstirrer

Elites: Goner, Patch Face, Silk, Mirage

Red Beryl Mosquitoes: Formerly known as the Malachite Mambas, they were strongly associated with the principal’s own tribe, the Jito tribe. After the principal denounced her daughter due to her odd physical features, she reappeared at the institute having been secretly raised by the vice-principal’s family, the Zadi tribe. The Zadi are now in charge of the Red Beryl Mosquitoes due to her rise.

Leader: White Streak

Elites: Red Streak, Scorpion, Nest, Obsidian Blade

Unaffiliated: Until the annual draft at the turn of the year, new students remain unaffiliated from a tribe. Instead, they are tired to a five person group called a hand until the day of the draft.

Eil’s Hand: Eli, Smoker, Stranger, Ink, Smile

Saro Kimbo’s Hand: Saro Kimbo, Silent, Bite-Sized, Shaggy, Jovial
