V.I.L.E. is made up of rogue mages (and some Candles, when they can recruit them) who steal and otherwise amass magical artifacts for personal gain. They're incredibly secretive, manipulative, and maintain many front organizations. The first step of fighting them is to even know they exist, and most people ffail step one.
Their home-base is V.I.L.E. Isle, in the Canary Islands off the coast of western Africa. V.I.L.E. Isle is home to their Academy where they train new agents, as well as the residence of their five council members. It was also Carmen's home until she ran away a couple years ago.

INTERVIEW SAMPLE PROMPT
(The following scenario is available to all characters who are apping in and is considered canon - all prospective teachers for the academy are interviewed by staff members to ensure they're a good fit. The definition of "good fit" seems to vary wildly from staffer to staffer.)
1. TELL US ABOUT YOUR EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND.
I would have hoped that my... practical interview, would have been enough. But all right, I'm game.
I was trained by V.I.L.E. - that is, Vagrants International League of Enchantment - in their academy. The most exclusive training ground for mages who have turned a new, more sinister leaf.
I'm not with them any more.
3. WHAT UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES DO YOU THINK YOU BRING TO THE ACADEMY?
I've been all over the world, experiencing their cultures. If your curriculum is as world-wide as I have heard, then I'm in a pretty good position to teach these kids some important things.
4. WHAT, IN YOUR OPINION, IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR A SCHOOL TO PROVIDE TO ITS STUDENTS
5. DESCRIBE YOUR COMMUNICATION STYLE AND HOW YOU INTERACT WITH COWORKERS.
6. HOW DO YOU ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO PUSH THEMSELVES AND TAKE THEIR SCHOOLWORK SERIOUSLY?
7. HOW DO YOU MANAGE STUDENTS WHO ARE DEFIANT OR ACTING OUT?
8. HOW DO YOU ENCOURAGE AND MENTOR STUDENTS WHO ARE STRUGGLING OR DEPRESSED?
9. WHAT, IN YOUR OPINION, IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON TO TEACH EVERY STUDENT WHO WALKS THROUGH OUR DOORS?
10. DESCRIBE A POSITIVE TEACHING EXPERIENCE YOU HAD AND WHAT YOU DID.
11. DESCRIBE A NEGATIVE TEACHING EXPERIENCE YOU HAD AND WHAT YOU DID TO TURN IT AROUND.
12. DESCRIBE A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE WITH A COWORKER AND HOW YOU HANDLED IT.
13. HOW DO YOU THINK YOUR CURRENT BOSS OR SUPERVISOR WOULD DESCRIBE YOUR JOB PERFORMANCE?
14. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ARE YOUR GREATEST TEACHING STRENGTHS?
15. WHAT ARE YOUR BIGGEST TEACHING WEAKNESSES?
16. ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF ACADEMY FACULTY IS PROTECTING STUDENTS FROM THAT WHICH MIGHT DO THEM HARM. TELL US HOW EQUIPPED YOU ARE TO DO THIS.
17. WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRIFICE FOR YOUR STUDENTS?
