Played by : F. S.

Club or Secret Society: Metamorphosis
Faculty: Professors

Teaser:

With slight movements, like adjusting the glasses on the tip of their nose, Walters can make an entire classroom tremble in fear. According to Walters, there is no room for deadline extensions, excuses, or mistakes. If a student fails to deliver an assignment on time, or deigns to break a single rule - even the most miniscule - their punishment will be severe. Walters has a piercing gaze that judges whoever is in front of them critically, never bothering to hide behind a friendly or diplomatic facade, regardless of whether the person at hand is a student or a fellow colleague. Walters’ scrupulousness stems from their belief that they are a follower of Ovid’s teachings in the Metamorphoses. The great driving forces of Knowledge and Love, which inform human action in the Ovidian mythos, are also the forces that drive Walters. In the pursuit of Knowledge one must be principled and steadfast. Love, understood as the highest purity and clarity of the soul, is then the natural consequence of life lived in arduous self-improvement and consistent advancement of one’s Knowledge. If there is Knowledge, there is Love, and vice versa. Embracing this harmony of things, Walter is able to freely communicate their feelings and opinions without qualms, shame or sin. Rigour and discretion, Knowledge and Love with no restraints. Walters has learned how to wield the power of their philosophy. And so, knows the time and place for everything.

Metamorphosis

The Metamorphosis are a group related to the cult of Dionysus and Bacchus, to pleasures taken to the extreme, and to change. They push themselves to excess, thus seeking to touch higher peaks of knowledge and understanding, as well as pleasure. They are tied to nature, feelings, sexuality, personal growth and animality: in fact, it is said that each member is associated with a beast, and can only leave it behind when they have reached the highest evolution of themselves. On the night of their initiation, you might hear the group members howling, or meowing, or who knows?
