Welcome Welcome students, to the Castle of Grave Academy, just your regular All-Ghouls School in Transilvannya, but with a few twists; Grave Academy is a Brazilian, Forum-Based RPG, that started on September 2011, in this verse, Monsters walk among us humans, but they do so when they're not, you know, Hunting, being punished by their law if they don't do so.

But that's where Grave Academy comes in, to teach young monsters how to fit in this Human-dominated world, and there they can learn various subjects, like: Venoms and Antidotes, Camouflage, Defense, Wield of Weapons, and even Magic; The school is directed By the Headmaster, Jack Jerripher, a Eccentric Dullahan, and his Right-Hand Woman, Sophie Merryweather, a bossy Harpy.

A Canonic Fanfic was released on the forum itself in October 31th, specially because of Halloween, and it covers the stories of the recently-dead-turned-ghost Luke Truesdale, as he is welcomed to the World of Monsters by Jack Jerripher, and is invited to the school, where he befriends and interacts with various other classmates, like the snarky Witch, Blair Liddel , the vegetarian Kelpie, Gary Crawford, the competitive Werewolf, Brenda Thompson, and the Keet Wendigo, Kain Winchester, as they encounter various hardships through their school life, and their clashes with the Monster's sworn enemies, the renegade Hunters, along with other foes. Oh, who are we kidding there? Deconstruction, Gut Punch, Tear Jerker

Tropes Describing Grave Academy Include:

Tropes applying to specific Characters:

Luke Truesdale:

The Main protagonist, he dies by being hit by a truck in the first chapter and thus becomes a Ghost and is dragged into the world of the monsters as he enrolls the Grave Academy, he's in the Brinterruves Republic.


Brenda Thompson

A Female Werewolf, she's a smart and soft-spoken girl, but can sometimes be kind of a Deadpan Snarker, was the first to befriend Luke, and also has a close bond with Gary and Blair, but she disapproves of Kain's lecherousness. She's in the Deprecius Republic. Hinting at her true nature as a Stepford Smiler


Kain Winchester

A Half-Wendigo, he is the comedic relief of the group, thinks highly of his looks, although not many people agree with him, he's constantly being lecherous, but he's really someone you can count on. He's in the Lucemis Republic. His father Freaked out when he discovered that his wife and child were monsters, he killed Kain's mother in his front, by the boy's soon-to-be Stepmother.

Gary Crawford

A quiet and smart Kelpie, born and raised on the Kelpie Tribe, somewhere on Italy, he's quick to make friends, and is the target of many a girl's attentions for his looks, although he himself undermines this, at the Third Chapter, before meeting and befriending Luke, he was trapped with Bay Stones and made irascible, picking a fight with the Ghost at the Dining Hall, but once he got rid of the stones, he returned to his kindhearted nature.

Blair Liddel

A young Witch prodigy, she is highly praised for her magic, but she hates all the attention, and although she looks like a poster popular kid, she has many nerdy and derpy hobbies, like LAR Ping, liking to study, designing clothes, etc... She's i the Sapiensorens Republic, like Gary. she's also the Knight of Cerebus for the first volume, as she was revealed to have been working for the villain all along. However, it's noteworthy that she was coerced into doing so, as her entire clan was wiped out by her sister, Blair(her real name is Alice, and since that day, she took her sister's name), who was ALSO under the villain influence, throughout her stay at the castle, she became real friends with everyone, and decided that she wasn't worth it, luckily, she was snapped out of it by Luke in their fight


Jack Jerripher

The Headmaster, if he can be called that, seeing as he's a Headless Horseman, Jack is a bit on the loony side most of the time, but can be wise as a sage if the need arises. He's the Third member in the Council of Swords, and so, he's recognized as the third strongest monster alive. Lost his sister, Teresa, after a fight with an ancient demon

Sophie Merryweather

A bossy Harpy who's the right-hand woman of Jack, she excels in Camouflage, being noted as one of the top practicioners of the art, she's been Jack's freind for a long time, and thus, knows exactly how to deal with his loooniness, she was part of the official Camouflage comitee, and wanted to change its more stern rules, and altought she couldn't in the end, she learned that you just have to live with some things that we can't change. As the Eight member of the Council of Sowrds, she's regarded as the eight strongest monster alive.
