Lamptons exists in a mythological location that is both every nation and none. Any and all fantasy and science fictional races can and do exist here, and the outskirts have no end. Magic, super science, aliens, Androids, super powered beings, fantastical creatures and monsters all live in and around the school. Your imagination is the only limit to what can be found here.

===Non-Human Communities===
There are innumerable races and communities around Larange City. Some are benevolent others hostile. The city and school ignore these communities unless the pose a threat to their interests.
The many and varied communities of the outskirts rang from tribal bands living in cave's to communes of self aware Androids living in high tech facilities. For the most part the communities stick to themselves.
===Non-Human Students===
Non-Human Students are permitted at Lamptons as long as they are of similar life span and appearance as humans. Students with long or short life spans tend to produce learning and discipline issues, as do students that are so different in appearance that they would require special accomodations to attend school.
===Non-Human faculty===
Non-Humans are permitted and encouraged to be faculty at Lamptons as long as they have reached their races age of majority, and are able to follow the schools rules. Again races requiring special accomodations to attend Lamptons will not be considered for facility positions.
===Lamptons and Gender===
Lamptons is not a progressive school and only acknowledges two genders. Male and Female. In order to be considered for admittance as a student or for a faculty position, you must have been born or permanently transformed into a female, with no indication of a Y Chromosome anywhere on your body. Genderless races and beings are considered female for the purpose of admittance, and must always be in a female form or dress while on school ground's.


===Slavery===
'''Slavery'''
Slavery is one of the many things that Larange City and the outskirts turn a blind eye on. Each community has it's own rules and laws some allowing it completely others outlawing it and setting any slaves found in their territory free. The ways to acquire or become a slave vary as much but as everything else.

One rule however does apply at Lamptons, no current student can be a permanent slave, if a student enters into a permanent slave contact, willingly or by force, they are no longer a student at Lamptons. Temporary submission as a slave for no more than 24 hours is permitted as long as it doesn't interfere with your duty to the school.


===Religion===
'''Age of Consent'''
The religions of the region are as numerous and various as the many races and communities. Below is just a sampling of the many religons and their practices. (Feel free to add as needed for your story path.)


====The One====
Age of consent laws are difficult to maintain due to the unsteady nature of the outskirts and it's multi-varried races with different age development rates. For the most part, this is considered to be something that's more socially enforced within each territory within the outskirts, but due to how difficult laws on the matter are to enforce the government has opted to not consider sexual contact with a child of any age as an actual crime. This is not to say such things are entirely permitted, it is heavily frowned upon by most groups except for those that are the most sexually promiscuous. Because of this, a gender-segregated boarding school model for child education has become increasingly popular in order to protect younger children from sexual contact with adults including their parents (with parents who have their children commute from home to school often looked upon with suspicion by their neighbors,) and most of these boarding schools tend to take tactics of varying degrees to attempt to detect any sexual exploitation that might be going on at home. Although it is not a crime, sexual abuse by a parent is still something that can get a child removed from their parent's custody in territories that are more sexually conservative (such as human and elven territories.)

</div>


The One is the primary religion of Lamptons and Larange. The One is an androgynous benevolent being who takes on many forms and is referred to as both sexes and none in it's religious texts. It is used when no gender specific pronoun is required for it's reference; He is used in reference to most Masculine references, anger, aggressiveness, combat, forging etc; she is used in reference to most Feminine references, healing, nurturing, educating, creating etc.
Each community maintains their own age of consent rules. Boarding Schools outside of community bounds are considered their own community with the board of directors or Headmaster/Headmistress being responsible for its own rules and guidelines.


The Church of The One does not discriminate within it's clergy or followers, all races and sexes are permitted to belong and hold positions within it's ranks.
'''Click on the links below for more information on Lamptons and surrounding areas.'''


It is a common held misconception that clergy of The One take vows if chastity and poverty. A misconception that the clergy doesn't discourage. The clergy in fact do not take any vows except to follow the tenants of the one, to teach it's followers and to protect the innocent. The Church holds purity in all its forms as holy, so most of the clergy choose to refrain from all temptations of the flesh and relinquish all vows and ties of family or fealty to all but the church.

The Outskirts:

Lamptons exists in a mythological location that is both every nation and none. Any and all fantasy and science fictional races can and do exist here, and the outskirts have no end. Magic, super science, aliens, Androids, super powered beings, fantastical creatures and monsters all live in and around the school. Your imagination is the only limit to what can be found here.


Slavery Slavery is one of the many things that Larange City and the outskirts turn a blind eye on. Each community has it's own rules and laws some allowing it completely others outlawing it and setting any slaves found in their territory free. The ways to acquire or become a slave vary as much but as everything else.


Age of Consent

Age of consent laws are difficult to maintain due to the unsteady nature of the outskirts and it's multi-varried races with different age development rates. For the most part, this is considered to be something that's more socially enforced within each territory within the outskirts, but due to how difficult laws on the matter are to enforce the government has opted to not consider sexual contact with a child of any age as an actual crime. This is not to say such things are entirely permitted, it is heavily frowned upon by most groups except for those that are the most sexually promiscuous. Because of this, a gender-segregated boarding school model for child education has become increasingly popular in order to protect younger children from sexual contact with adults including their parents (with parents who have their children commute from home to school often looked upon with suspicion by their neighbors,) and most of these boarding schools tend to take tactics of varying degrees to attempt to detect any sexual exploitation that might be going on at home. Although it is not a crime, sexual abuse by a parent is still something that can get a child removed from their parent's custody in territories that are more sexually conservative (such as human and elven territories.)

Each community maintains their own age of consent rules. Boarding Schools outside of community bounds are considered their own community with the board of directors or Headmaster/Headmistress being responsible for its own rules and guidelines.
