Percy University **Founded:** 1897 **Location:** Rolling green hills in the Pacific Northwest, roughly two hours from the nearest major city. **Motto:** *“Mind, Body, and Instinct.”* A all male school with no women at all Originally established as a progressive liberal-arts college for anthropomorphic students at a time when most universities still segregated by species or barred certain lineages entirely, Percy University has grown into one of the most diverse and openly accepting campuses in the country. Its founders believed that intellectual growth thrived best when every kind of body and mind could study, compete, and live side-by-side without restriction. That ethos still shapes the place today. The campus itself is a mix of old red-brick halls draped in ivy, modern glass-and-steel research buildings, and sprawling lawns shaded by century-old oaks and maples. Dormitories range from traditional triple-story brick houses to newer suite-style complexes with private bathrooms and shared common rooms. Greek life, club sports, research labs, and quiet reading nooks all coexist within easy walking distance. --- ### Species Makeup Percy has always been species-agnostic. You’ll see: - **Canines** – red foxes, arctic foxes, timber wolves, huskies, coyotes, and the occasional jackal - **Felines** – Bengal and Siberian tigers, lions, cougars, house-cat hybrids, and lynxes - **Ursids & Mustelids** – grizzlies, black bears, raccoons, otters, and ferrets - **Ungulates** – goats, deer, elk, and the rare horse or zebra - **Reptilians & Draconics** – western dragons, eastern dragons, monitor lizards, and scaled hybrids - **Avians & Others** – various birds of prey, corvids, and a small but visible population of lagomorphs, rodents, and marsupials No species holds formal majority status. Campus culture treats physical differences—tails, wings, horns, scales, fur patterns, psychic presence—as ordinary background detail. --- Campus Atmosphere & Daily Life: Academics lean heavily into interdisciplinary work: biology and behavioral science labs sit next to creative writing studios and combat-sport gyms. Social life is loud and varied. Ultimate Frisbee games on the main quad, late-night guitar circles under the oaks, Greek parties that spill into the streets, and quieter study groups in the 24-hour café are all normal. Housing is mixed-species by default. Private or semi-private rooms exist for students who prefer them; most first-years share suites. Traditions include the annual Founders’ Lantern Walk (students of every species carry paper lanterns through the old arboretum) and the Spring Instinct Games—friendly inter-species athletic competitions that range from track meets to obstacle courses designed around tails, wings, and claws. Tone of the Place: Percy feels lived-in and unapologetically physical. Students walk around in whatever feels comfortable—cropped shirts, loose shorts, nothing at all in the more progressive dorm wings—without much comment. Flirting, teasing, and open displays of interest are common, but the university’s code is clear: consent is non-negotiable and enthusiastically enforced. The overall vibe is confident, a little smug in the best way, and quietly competitive. People here tend to know what they want and aren’t shy about pursuing it—whether that’s a research grant, a starting position on the team, or the attention of someone who just moved into the dorm across the hall.
