[HIDER=PRCU (2014)]
BACKGROUND:

Since our inception, humanity has constantly changed. Constantly evolved. Our way of life as humans is forever adapting to all that surrounds us, shaping to keep up with the world. Society changes and along with it so does our culture. Technology is constantly barreling forward as new devices are being designed every hour of every day. But humanity itself is also changing, in ways mostly unseen to the naked eye but under a microscope there's a very different story.

After millennia of Earth being routinely doused in what is known as coronal mass ejections, the side effects are starting to show. The coronal mass ejections or CMEs, are a massive burst of solar wind and magnetic fields being released into space and often directly at Earth. Most often these CMEs also accompany solar flares which release addition energy from the sun into space only for it to collide with Earth. Carried within these events are high energy particles and it is these particles which have began to cause humanity to change and develop new and sometimes unfathomable abilities. Composed primarily of high-energy protons and atomic nuclei, they are of mysterious origin and the limits to their potential remain unknown.

The resulting effect of the high energy particles is an evolution that was first mistaken for a mutation and coined as the condition 'Viriumosis'. As research continued, it was realized that the mutation was not a temporary condition but the start of a new species as the 'Homo-Virium' was not the result of disease but rather was born with their abilities. The genetic difference became known as the 'Hype-Gene' or 'Hype-Factor' and was most common in families with a long spanning ancestry and history. The 'Hype-Gene' was a culminative result of high energy particles stored within the donating parent's chromosomes which resulted in the creation of the 'Hype-Gene' in their offspring. As such, a human born without a 'Hype-Gene' cannot develop Hyperhuman abilities no matter how many high energy particles they absorb throughout their life, however their offspring may be a Hyperhuman. However, whether one parent is a Hyperhuman or both, the child will also turn out as a Hyperhuman and as such the gene isn't exclusively carried within either sex but is a dominant gene within both. Studies are inconclusive whether powers levels are greater or equal within children who have two Hyperhuman parents. Despite that fact that 'Hype-Gene' takes a dominant role during the embryo's development it's practically undetectable until puberty as it lays in a dormant state until puberty. During puberty, the overwhelming release of hormones awakens the dormant 'Hype-Gene' which then begins to develop super-human abilities within the host.

Hyperhuman abilities develop in a wide assortment of powers allowing for various displays of power. While these abilities can be drastically different from one individual to the next, there are notable similarities and overlaps which led to the creation of the Hyperhuman Classification system. This system allows the various abilities displayed by Hyperhumans to be broken down and organized to allow for a quick assessment of abilities and threat level.

As a whole, society is generally wary of Hyperhumans. Made aware of their existence in 1946 in the aftermath of World War II, tensions have remained high as Hyperhumans have fought an uphill battle for acceptance and equal rights to regular humans, otherwise known as Norms. The aftermath of World War II not only brought to the world's attention the horrors committed by Adolf Hitler, but also the experimentation performed on Hyperhumans around the world. These Hyperhumans who for the most part had believed themselves to be one of a kind before the great wars were now aware of the others in the world like them and banded together to make the world aware of their treatment. While the world became aware, they also became paranoid and afraid. Some saw the Hyperhumans as an abomination while others accused them of being aliens masquerading as humans. Laws were passed and mistakes were made as Hyperhumans were forbid from working in the food preparation or medical industry as well as marrying 'Norms.' Lastly, Hyperhumans were outlawed from donating blood, organs or any other bodily substance.

However, despite the enforced laws, many 'Norms' avoid known Hypes as much as possible. Teachers will refuse to instruct Hyperhumans citing 'personal safety issues' along with safety of their entire class. Employers discriminate against Hyperhumans, refusing to hire them and if they do managed to get hired without being outed, upon discovery many Employers will lay off or outright fire the Hyperhuman employees. Though Hyperhumans and Norms can't legally be married, relationships still happen between them despite the disapproval of society. Those who refuse to end the relationships often become the victims of Anti-Hype Protesters and their extremist sects. These extremists seek out and persecute Hypes, beating them within an inch of life if not downright killing them. Protest plague the world's government and Hyperhuman Identification software is sold on street corners and even the Apple App Store. The validity of this software has yet to be seen but people buy it up like it's going out of style.

It's for reasons like the above that the enrollment at the Pacific Royal Collegiate and University has only increased since its doors opened. Parents wanting their child to have a fighting chance enlist the help of the Canadian Hyperhuman Equality, Logistics and Protection department. H.E.L.P. as it's commonly referred to as is the forefront in Hyperhuman civil rights and has erected a safe asylum for Hyperhumans seeking a place of both employment and education.

TIMELINE:

| 1916 | - First confirmed finding of a North American Hyperhuman. While the finding is considered by many to simply be Crypto-Zoology, others turn and point to myths of beings who accomplished great feats. Further efforts are put forth to find and locate other specimens for study.

| 1938 | - Research into Hyperhumans concludes that they are infected and leads to many being quarantined and experimented upon. This is most notable in Germany where Adolf Hitler used the Hyperhuman scare to push his personal agenda forward and exercise his vendetta on the Jewish people, rounding them up into concentration camps and subjecting them to cruel treatments and inhuman experiments.

| 1945 | - World War II is brought to an end when the Americans dropped Hyperhuman weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These hyperhumans had been coerced into numerous experiments and eventually turned into living weapons. As such no 'atomic bomb' or any 'weapon of mass destruction' was created and instead the world's arms race revolved around the manipulation and experimentation of Hyperhumans whose lives were valued at less than those of the regular human being.

| 1951 | - Hyperhumans and Humans are seen as separate species with governments becoming hostile towards Hyperhumans, afraid and paranoid of their abilities despite having previously used them to help settle World War II. 'Inter-species' relationships between Homo Sapiens and Homo Virium is outlawed throughout most of North America and Europe as well as all of Asia, South America and Oceania.

| 1977 | - The Hyperhuman Equality, Logistics & Protection Department better known as H.E.L.P. is founded, a joint creation between the Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) and the Canadian National Defence.

| 1979 | - H.E.L.P. creates several small divisions under itself including the special ops, Specialized Hyperhuman Intervention Federal Taskforce which is abbreviated as S.H.I.F.T. Additionally, the Equality and Rights Division and the Logistics and Research Division are set up.

| 1986 | - Creation of the Pacific Royal Collegiate in Northern British Columbia, Canada. P.R.C. is meant to be used as a safe school environment for Hyperhumans and welcomes those seeking an education in a non-discriminatory environment. To an extent, the school also serves as an asylum from the world for those who have been persecuted.

| 1988 | - The Hyperhuman Education & Advanced Training or H.E.A.T. program is proposed and created as a joint effort with H.E.L.P. This not only grants P.R.C. the ability to teach hyperhumans but also to help them control their developing abilities. Thanks to H.E.L.P. many of these students could go on to work for the organization including the ops division known as S.H.I.F.T.

| 1999 | - Pacific Royal Collegiate is expanded to include University becoming Pacific Royal Collegiate and University. Construction completed of separate male and female dorms for these students.

| 2004 | - Construction of A.R.C. begins.

| 2006 | - Increased enrollment leads to construction of University age Co-Ed dorm.

| 2012 | - A.R.C. is completed and becomes an integral part of the H.E.A.T. program.

| 2014 | - Present Day​

P.R.C.U.:

The Pacific Royal Collegiate And University is a special institute founded in 1986 and led through associated by the Hyperhuman Equality, Logistics and Protection Department. The goal of P.R.C.U. is to train young Hyperhumans to control their abilities and while working with the Hyperhuman Equality, Logistics and Protection Department to foster friendly relations between Hyperhumans and the general populous.

Originally a large Victorian High Gothic style mansion built on Digby Island in British Columbia, Canada, the mansion was built just beyond an old coastal defence built at Frederick Point used as a watch during the Great Wars. The Canadian Government decided to give it to H.E.L.P. who then re-purposed the fort into a base for their own Specialized Hyperhuman Intervention Federal Taskforce along with another old coastal defence at Dundas Point, while the mansion was converted into an academic building. As enrolment increased, H.E.L.P. commissioned the construction of gender specific dorms. Eventually, the class sizes outgrew the mansion and the construction of a new academic building was completed. P.R.C.U. continued to grow and expand adding the University component in 1999. This lead to the construction of three new dormitories, one of which was the first co-ed dorm on campus, a risky move but necessary to update to modern times.

Many students choose live on the campus throughout the year as it is the safest place in the for Hyperhumans. Additionally, many of the students have been abandoned by their parents or simply can't return to their homes due to fear for their own safety. As such, the P.R.C.U. employs a large number of Hyperhumans as it constantly seeks out new teachers and advisers for the youth there. Not all the staff are Hyperhumans however. Those who are accepting of "Hypes" are welcomed inside the campus walls as well. The campus also shares the island with S.H.I.F.T.'s main base which was built around the two re-purposed coastal defences. As such, S.H.I.F.T.'s reserves patrol the exterior of the campus to ensure that Pacific Royal Collegiate and University's students are safe.

Most students at P.R.C.U. are enrolled in the Hyperhuman Education & Advanced Training Program. H.E.A.T. as it's commonly referred to, is an experimental plan of action run at P.R.C.U. in addition to the usual educational programs. As opposed to the standard educational process of going through high school, then choosing a university major, H.E.A.T. combines a general education complete with a speciality and basic military training. Due to the specialized nature of this program it is overseen exclusively by the Specialized Hyperhuman Intervention Federal Taskforce. The goal of H.E.A.T. is to prepare its cadets for commissioning into one of H.E.L.P.'s three divisions while also preparing them with a general education degree. This ensures that its candidates have options in all walks of life, but also have the opportunity for immediately employment that will allow them to use all of heir skills and ability. An additional bonus of the H.E.A.T. program is the extra emphasis placed on controlling and using Hyperhuman abilities. While all students get a chance to train with their powers, H.E.A.T. includes daily activities to hone and sharpen these abilities far beyond the standard exercises.

FACILITIES:

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING:
[img]http://i61.tinypic.com/21nmw6f.jpg[/img]
The Administration Building originally started life as a great mansion built by an eccentric millionaire during the early 1900's. Left unfinished due to the interruption of the Great Wars, it sat empty for numerous decades until the Hyperhuman Equality, Logistics and Protection Department came along and bought it both for its size and remote location on Digby Island. For the first couple of years, the school operated solely out of the mansion with H.E.L.P. having finished the building before having it opened. Originally offering rudimentary courses to ensure the students had their basic education before having H.E.L.P. provide them placements through allied companies and workplaces. However as enrolment expanded, additional buildings were commissioned as separate dormitories were constructed and eventually the Academic Quadrangle.

With these new buildings in place, the Mansion was converted into an Administration building along with housing for the non-military staff employed at Pacific Royal Collegiate and University. Despite keeping the historical exterior of the building intact and well maintained, the building's interior has been renovated and updated every few years since the Institute opened. As it stands currently, the interior of the Administration Building is fully update with the latest modern furnishings though styled in a classical manner to match the building's exterior.​

ACADEMIC QUADRANGLE:
[img]http://i62.tinypic.com/2rrbek5.gif[/img]
The Academic Quadrangle is perhaps the most interesting piece of Architecture on the whole P.R.C.U. Campus, if not the most interesting than the most complex one. Suspended above the ground are six floors full of classrooms and learning environments for the students of P.R.C.U. to use. The Quadrangle is built in four long sections which are set up in a perimeter outside of a large courtyard which contains numerous areas to study along with picnic spots and a pond.

The largest building on campus, the four sides of the Quadrangle are broken into specific categories of class rooms with the science labs and technology making up the Northern Wing. The East and West Wings are divided into various, Language, History, Law, Social and Liberal Art courses. The Library is also found in the West Wing. Lastly the South Wing contains the Math and Science class rooms.​

LABS AND TECHNOLOGY WING:
[img]http://i58.tinypic.com/dz8i10.jpg[/img]
Built overlooking the mansion from the North, the front side of the Academic Quadrangle is dedicated to the instruction of technology, communication and the practical application of sciences. Throughout its six floors, all levels of the institutes educational programs are supported at every degree of understanding to ensure that each student can find the material approachable. 

The technology programs are considered to be rather cutting edge in part due to the creations of many Minerva-type Hyperhumans allied with H.E.L.P. which are supplied to the Institute and in many cases used by the creator themselves in the classroom. These cutting edge technologies range from medical, to robotics and even some military grade technology can be found for the students to get hands on experiene with.​

LAW AND LIBERAL ARTS WINGS:
[img]http://i59.tinypic.com/ixza11.jpg[/img]
Built along either side of the Quadrangle are the Wings containing the Liberal Arts including but not limited to English, Linguistics, Theatre, Musical Theory and various Language Courses. These wings contain some of the more popular courses at the Institute and can often be found with numerous students chatting in the hallways between classes. Whilst class is in session, nearly every room is filled to capacity with students either hurriedly taking down notes, acting out classics or simply slacking in the back believing that the arts are low to no effort courses. These course notably contain the most normal human staff in the whole university which some students find slightly unsettling. A school of law is also included in the East Wing which produces some of the foremost fighters for Hyperhuman Equality. Lastly, a large library is included in the West Wing in order to provide the students with all the resources that they need for their studies.​

SCIENCE AND MATH WING:
[img]http://i57.tinypic.com/sblwrd.jpg[/img]
While no where near as popular as the Arts, the Math and Science wing are among the more practical disciplines available at P.R.C.U. given that most of the students are 'scientific wonders' themselves. Everything from the most basic to complex calculations and mathematic formulas are imparted into the students' minds. Figuratively across the hall, biology, physics and chemistry are instructed to the eager and even the not so eager students. Medical sciences too are taught in this wing and are especially necessary as new discoveries are constantly being made about the Hyperhuman genetic code and its ever growing array of varieties.​

MILITARY ACADEMY:
[img]http://i60.tinypic.com/a2qb74.jpg[/img]
Originally a Coastal Defence post built during the first World War, when the Hyperhuman Equality, Logistics and Protection department took control of the facility they had it renovated and updated, eventually becoming the primary headquarters for their own Specialized Hyperhuman Intervention Federal Taskforce. With the creation of S.H.I.F.T., H.E.L.P. decided to expand upon their educational offerings at P.R.C.U. and added the Military Academy to S.H.I.F.T.'s headquarters. Students enrolled in the Military Academy portion of P.R.C.U. Have the chance to go on to join the Canadian Armed Forces upon graduation though most decided to sign up with H.E.L.P. and consequently the S.H.I.F.T. Division. Furthermore, the Military Academy is heavily involved in the Hyperhuman Education & Advanced Training Program which acts as a fast track for students wishing to become H.E.L.P. Agents.​

MESS HALL (Cafeteria):
[img]http://i58.tinypic.com/nleyb8.jpg[/img]
Constructed as the central point between the dorms, Military Academy and Academic Quadrangle, the Mess Hall is the first stop for many every morning. Consisting of several floors each with their own unique style and blend of flavours, the Mess Hall caters to every food taste offering both local and international selections. Aside from the interior dining rooms, the Mess Hall has several designated eating areas outside as well as balconies on each floor. In order to control the flow of traffic, teams are grouped together and given designated meal times to ensure that everyone has a seat from which to enjoy a meal. As such Teams '1' through '10' eat together, '11' through '20' and so on. Not only does this ease the process of getting a meal, but it also allows the various teams to build camaraderie with the other teams outside of classes.​

RECREATIONAL CENTER:
[img]http://i57.tinypic.com/mkuohc.jpg[/img]
Perhaps the most modern building on the P.R.C.U. campus, the Recreational Center is a top of the line fitness buildings. Several highlights include an Olympic sized swimming pool, a climbing wall, a full gymnastics studio and of course a top of the line fitness center. All students are required to spend at least one mandatory hour each day at the gym to ensure they stay in at least moderately fit physical condition. Outside of the Recreational Center lays a couple basketball courts, and a multi-purpose field. This field is used for all manner of sports but the most popular is football, naturally played by the CFL's rules. Removable bleachers are stored in the back of the Rec Center and are set up for the school's Intramural Games since P.R.C.U. can't exactly compete against other schools.​

COLLEGIATE DORMS:
[img]http://i58.tinypic.com/fw1304.jpg[/img]
The Collegiate Dorms were built to compensate for the ever growing flux of students that were enrolling at Pacific Royal Collegiate during its early years. Erected in a townhouse style building, the dormitories are contained within one building although separated down the middle by a solid wall, on either side of this wall are the gender specific dorms. Built in a mirrored fashion, both sides of the building are identical and contain four floors, each floor containing one grade, with the freshmen occupying the ground floor while the Seniors habitat the top floor. On the second and fourth floors, are laundry rooms for the students to use while on the first and third floors are two large common rooms which include a kitchen allowing for students to have 'community' meals together. Each room houses two to three students complete with a bed, desk and closet for each, community bathrooms are on each floor to ensure that no dorm has to go too far for a shower.​

UNIVERSITY DORMS:
[img]http://i61.tinypic.com/34gaavp.jpg[/img]
Part of the addition when the Collegiate expanded to include University, the University Age dormitories consist of three separate buildings unlike the Collegiate dormitory. The dorm layout in these buildings are also notable different, with a dorm consisting of four bedrooms, a shared bathroom, shared laundry room and shared kitchen and living room. The first two buildings are gender specific, each consisting of two floors of the above layout, while the third building is a Co-Ed facility, and is actually larger than the other two dorms, having a total of four floors. Another notable difference is that the University Dorms have a shared patio and outdoor pool for the older students to enjoy and relax upon. The University dorms were designed to replicate an apartment as much as possible without totally sacrificing the dormitory design.​

NATURE TRAILS:
[img]http://i58.tinypic.com/2vngvhv.jpg[/img]
The Campus is surrounded by a beautiful forest which acts as a sort of natural barrier between the Institute and the rest of the island. In truth, the forest is not entirely natural but instead was created by the use of Neptune-type abilities to manipulate the native plant life to create the thick bush surrounding the campus. To the North of the campus, there's several trails along the coastal cliffs which can be used for relaxing walks and often the students use them for dates. The rest of the forest however is used for camping trips and wilderness survival training which is supervised by S.H.I.F.T. Agent assigned to School Teams involved. These such trips are often used at the beginning of each academic year as a well of introducing new students to their fellow teammates and to build bonds among the team members.​

BEACHES:
[img]http://i60.tinypic.com/sen22p.jpg[/img]
Since the Institute is built on an Island, it's naturally surrounded by water. As such, there are many beaches around Digby Island however the most notable one is the West of the Campus just past the Military Academy. Throughout the summer months, the beach is frequented by many of the students, especially those who live on the Campus full time. A place of constant fun and relaxation, it's not uncommon to come to the beach to find the students using their abilities to manipulate the area with their abilities to create new aquatic sports and games.​

A.R.C. (Augmented Reality Center):
[img]http://i58.tinypic.com/169p7wj.png[/img]
The Augmented Reality Center or A.R.C. is one of the largest facilities on the Pacific Royal Collegiate and University campus. A large circular building with approximately a mile radius, the A.R.C. stands close to a hundred feet in height in order to provide a wide range of simulations within. The interior of the A.R.C. appears to made up of many different panels, and each of these panels are attached to a series of columns which can expand and contract to allow the A.R.C.'s arena to change to all manner of shapes and layouts. Coupled with the cutting edge hard light projection technology, the A.R.C. can replicate and simulate all manner of environments and battlefield simulations.

Participants are needed to wear A.R. Suits which aid in stimulating the other four senses. A.R. Suits also allow for pain simulation in order to fully prepare cadets for battle. A.R. suits are designed to act and feel like Hyperhuman Combat Suits, however they're notable different due to the equipment required to operate with the A.R. Center. These suits are also equipped with glowing LED strips down the suit which can be customized to display team colours. During stealth activities, this feature can be disabled.​

THE BREW:
[img][/img]
Outside of the mess hall there's only one other place on campus to eat. The Brew is a small campus pub serving primarily caffeinated beverages but also alcoholic ones for members of the faculty or returning alumni. Built in the early 2020's as a response to the increasing age of both former students and new enrollments, the pub offers a place of more adult relaxation in the form of a nice cold or hot beverage. Stocked with a wide supply of beverages from around the world with a special emphasis on caffeine, the Brew has something for drinkers of all tastes. Furthermore it arguably serves the best wings and nachos on campus leading to many busy karaoke nights. The Brew is known for being a little too tight on security if only because of the rather large risk involved with copious amounts of sugar, caffeine and meta-human abilities. As much funding as the Corrigan does receive, it's not enough to rebuild the campus.​
[hr]

DRESS CODE:

Pacific Royal Collegiate and University employs a fairly strict dress code due it's military founding. Over the years, this dress code has become slightly more modern but however is still regarded as strict. Enforced by every instructor on the campus, the dress code goes as follows.

Students are expected to wear their uniform to all classes and from 0800hours to 1600hours without exception during the days of Monday through Friday. Casual clothes are permitted after 1600hours outside of the Academic buildings and on the weekends.
Students are to keep their uniforms neat and orderly, wearing a clean uniform everyday. As such each student will have to perform their laundry at least twice a week. Uniforms should be ironed and neatly hung up after washing.

Students are to ensure they wear the correct uniform for each appropriate environment. As such, one should not show up to a formal event in their Standard Uniform, nor should one attend class in their Dress Uniform. Casual Attire is not appropriate for any event unless specified in advance.

STANDARD UNIFORM:

The Standard Uniform is to be worn a daily basis, Monday through Friday during the Academic from 0800hours to 1600hours. After this time casual attire is acceptable outside of the Academic Quadrangle and so long as another event has not been specified for that evening. Every student receives three sets of their standard uniform which includes the following.

A black button-less blazer with Mandarin styled collar. On the shoulder of this blazer are straps which display anywhere from one to four bars. These bards are red for Collegiate students and gold for University students. The number of bars correspondence with your current year, as such a Freshman has one bar on each shoulder, whereas a Senior has four. The blazer has two small pockets, ad over the left breast displays the P.R.C.U. coat of arms. Students may also opt to have their Team insignia attached to on the outside of their right sleeve at the biceps area. For example, members of Team 21 'Blackjack' often have the Ace/Jack insignia placed on their jackets.
A Mandarin Collared long sleeved Dress Shirt or Blouse is also included in the Standard Uniform. This shirt is available in four colour varieties, black, white, red or gold. Like the blazer, the shirt is equipped with shoulder straps which are identical to those on the jacket.

Included for both genders are a pair of black slacks, while men can opt out for a kilt instead whereas women are offered a pleated skirt. Both the skirt and kilt are done in a tartan style of black, red and gold.
Mandatory footwear includes a pair of dress shoes for both genders with men being given a pair of black leather side gusseted loafers. 
Females are supplied a pair of black leather flats, while both genders are additionally given season appropriate footwear for the winter seasons.

While it is optional except under certain circumstances, the only headwear allowed during 0800hours and 1600hours is the supplied black beret.

A black peacoat is supplied for the winter months, students have the option of a thigh length peacoat or a knee length version. Peacoats include the school's coat of arms on the left breast and can be customized to include the team insignia on either arm.

DRESS UNIFORM:

All students are provided with one Dress Uniform, which is reserved for special events. Among these events are Graduation, Formal, Parades or Ceremonial Displays. It's considered an offense to wear the Dress Uniform outside of these events and will lead to discipline.

All students are given a black boat cloak complete with a red interior and gold trim around the edges and collar. This garment is to be worn over the rest of the dress uniform.

A waist length dress jacket for both genders is included. The jacket is a red colour, with wide black labels and gold trim. The sleeves end in French cuffs, bearing large cufflinks, while the shoulders are adorned with epaulettes, red for Collegiate students and gold for University. Lastly, the right shoulder has an gold Austrian Knot which hangs from it.

A black collared dress shirt and gold cummerbund are also included as part of the dress uniform. The dress shirt has a standard collar, as well as standard cuffs so as not to conflict with those on the jacket. A gold tie, or bow tie also generally accompanies this shirt.
Both genders have the option of wearing black dress pants while men are also offered the choice of a kilt. Women on the other hand are offered the alternative of a long skirt. All three garments include gold piping along the side.

Additional accessories include a peaked cap, leather gloves and leather dress shoes. Men are to wear Oxford styled dress shoes while women are encouraged to wear pumps or heels. Heels are however discouraged from being over four inches.

CASUAL ATTIRE:

May be worn anywhere outside of the academic buildings after 1600hours. Casual wear may be permitted at some social events on campus. Aside from these minor restrictions, there are no further limitations on casual wear at Pacific Royal Collegiate and University, students are free to wear or not wear whatever they wish outside of Academic Periods and other training events.​

[hr]
SCHOOL TEAMS:

When Pacific Royal Collegiate first opened, it only had an enrollment of 180 students which lead to the original 22 teams including both the infamous Team 1 'Bulltrue' and Team 21 'Blackjack'. As enrolment increased so too did the number of teams at the school. As of 2014 there are 80 teams of 8 at the school with each team consisting of 8 members of various ages. When the team system was first started a team was made up of two Seniors, two juniors, two sophomores and two freshmen. Each year upon the graduation of the senior members, they were replaced by incoming freshmen. The addition of University changed this and now teams are incredibly variable ranging from teams consisted of one of every education level to teams made up completely of freshmen. Each team is considered a wild card for this reason as students are sorted completely by random.

The other purpose of these teams is to give those who want to have more traditional athletics a chance. Though it's rare for a full team of eight to actually want to play the same sport, if any, as such teams can usually band together to field a full football team or any other sport. Due to the 'special' nature of the school, the students can't compete with the other Universities or high schools in the area, as such the Intramural Program was implemented to give the students as much of a full experience as possible.

[hr]
H.E.L.P.:

Founded in 1977, the Hyperhuman Equality, Logistics & Protection department seeks to help not only Hyperhumans within Canada, but also offers international aid. Originally a joint creation between the Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) and the Canadian National Defence. H.E.L.P. eventually grew to the point where it too split into various divisions. Splitting into three divisions, H.E.L.P. dividing itself into the Equality and Rights Division, Logistics and Research Division and the Protection and Enforcement Division.

The first of these divisions, Equality and Research deals with the social issues that plague Hyperhumans. The employees of this division can constantly be found on Parliament Hill fighting against the rules and limitations placed solely on Hyperhumans. The Logistics and Research Division focuses on further understanding the genetics and development of the Hype-Gene along with numerous technologies which help to protect the average citizen from Hyperhumans who choose to abuse their abilities. Lastly there's the Protection and Enforcement Division who track down and contain those who do in fact abuse their abilities. On the other side of the coin, the Protection and Enforcement Division protect Hyperhumans from those who wish to persecute them.

With the three divisions established, H.E.L.P. was able to expand its efforts and range within which it was able to help Hyperhumans. These efforts culminated in the purchase of an unfinished mansion on Digby Island in British Columbia. The mansion of course would go on to be developed into the Pacific Royal Collegiate and later University. While H.E.L.P. was originally reliant on government funding, eventually they were joined by a man by the name of Robert Priest who possessed the ability to transmute metals. Nicknamed 'Midas', Priest was able to greatly enhance the revenue that H.E.L.P. had at its disposal while care was taken not to upset the economy. Through Priest's assistance, the Institute grew and flourished to the point where it is today.

S.H.I.F.T.;

The Specialized Hyperhuman Intervention Federal Taskforce is a specific team affiliated under H.E.L.P.'s Protection and Enforcement Division. Equipped with specialized gear including the revolutionary Hyperhuman Combat Suits (Affectionately referred to as 'Hammer Pants'), members of S.H.I.F.T. are dispatched when situations become far too dangerous for the military or H.E.L.P. agents to handle directly. S.H.I.F.T. members are trained to resist and avoid even some of the most dangerous Hyperhuman attacks and about 95% are Hyperhumans themselves which naturally grants them an edge in combat. Broken down into squads of eight, all squads are hand-picked by their leader so as they can guarantee what's up their sleeves are only preferred cards.

S.H.I.F.T. was first established in response to a rising number of vigilantes who were abusing their Hyperhuman abilities. Due to vigilantism being outlawed through all of North America, those who committed it were brought into conflict with law enforcement who more often than not were given permission to use lethal force due to the abilities displayed by those they came up against. S.H.I.F.T. was created to intervene and contain the situation to prevent the loss of life on both sides. As such, standard armament for S.H.I.F.T. Agents includes both lethal and non-lethal weapons such as tasers and tranquillizers. Many students at P.R.C.U. enroll in the H.E.A.T. program in hopes of one day being picked to join S.H.I.F.T.

Director Winter Caspian​

| ALIAS(ES): |
N/A​

| SEX: |
F​

| H-CLASS: |
Neptune​

| ABILITIES: |
Connected to elemental powers such as earth or sand manipulation, thus falling into the Neptune-Class, Winter can create, shape and manipulate glass. Glass is defined as an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid material that exhibits a glass transition, which is the reversible transition in amorphous materials (or in amorphous regions within semicrystalline materials) from a hard and relatively brittle state into a molten or rubber-like state. Winter can be a deadly foe if necessary due the wide variety of glass available especially in urban environments. Without glass around, Winter can create it provided some of the basic materials are available such as sand.

Most commonly glass refers to soda-lime glass, but it includes also fulgurite and obsidian, allowing Winter a wide range of materials to manipulate to her will.​

| HISTORY: |
"I will not rest until we can be free to demonstrate our abilities the same as you and your kin!"

The current Director for the Department of Hyperhuman Equality, Logistics and Protection, Winter Caspian is a force to be reckoned with. A rare case of a student attending P.R.C.U. before transitioning to another school, Winter did just that completing the collegiate courses as Pacific Royal before attending and graduating with an Honour Bachelors of Law from Queen's University. Following this, she returned to P.R.C.U. and completed a fast track program earning a diploma in Social Relations. 

Winter started her career working in H.E.L.P.'s Equality and Rights Division before eventually advancing to the position of Director in 2013. Aggressive with a take no prisoners attitude, Winter has sat the Prime Minister himself down to fight for equal rights to all Hyperhumans. A feat no previous Director had managed before, leaving Winter with quite the infamous reputation among both the organization and Canada's political system.​

| HISTORY: |
"I believe in equality for all, no matter their abilities, race, gender or sexuality."

The recently elected Chancellor of Pacific Royal Collegiate and University. Dr. Jonas Lehrer stands as a role model not only to his students but also to all of the Hyperhuman Community. Having been the Chancellor for just over three years, Dr. Lehrer has already make his own unique mark on the University, enrollment further increasing under his new publicity campaign. What was most impressive about it however, was not the effectiveness of the campaign but rather the way which Dr. Lehrer instructed the staff to carry it out, allowing it to escape under the radar of many bigots, keeping the Institute safe from harm. 

Highly regarded, Dr. Lehrer is one of the few staff not to have graduated from P.R.C.U. instead a graduate from McGill University in Montreal Quebec. As such, very little is publically known about Dr. Lehrer including his Hype-Gene abilities. The result of this is a lot of students gossiping about what the Chancellor is truly capable of. Often during the introductory week, students will gather around fires swapping stories about what they may or may not have seen Dr. Lehrer do.​

Killian possess an advanced immune system, superhuman senses, enhanced stamina and endurance. However, Killian's most impressive ability is his regenerative and reconstructive healing factor allowing him to recover from even the most grievous of injuries. Though it's never been tested, the lead researcher at the Logistics and Research center believes that Killian may even be able to revive from the dead.​

| HISTORY: |
"You can call us S.H.I.F.T."

The Commanding Officer in charge of the Specialized Hyperhuman Intervention Federal Taskforce, Commander Killian O'Bran reports directly to the Protection and Enforcement Division and even the Director of the Hyperhuman Equality, Logistics and Protection Department herself. As one of the original graduates from P.R.C.U., O'Bran still proudly bears his Team 1 'Bulltrue' insignia on his arm after leading the team to victory over the others in his final year. As such, O'Bran's code name is derived from this and his Irish heritage, the name Tavros coming from a divine bull in Celtic mythology. 

Despite having numerous taskforces under his command, O'Bran still likes to take to the field himself and often hand picks a team for himself under the belief that one should only keep their aces up their sleeves. In further extension of this belief, S.H.I.F.T. Team Leaders are allowed to pick graduates from P.R.C.U. as opposed to having graduates assigned to them.​

| H-CLASS: |

| ABILITIES: |
Like his father, Bobby has the ability to transmute matter. In fact, their abilities are identical including their limitations. Bobby however has more control over his abilities than his father however he lacks the reluctance his father has and often abuses his abilities especially in his romantic conquests.​

| HISTORY: |
"So tell me, are diamonds really a girl's best friend?"

Head of P.R.C.U.'s science department, Bobby teaches several classes though he does have a slight penchant for ending up in bed with his grad students, a misdemeanor the school has overlooked due to his and his father's unfortunate value to the both the institute and H.E.L.P. in general. That said, ever since H.E.L.P. came up the leadership of Winter Caspian, Bobby has been under closer surveillance and unable to get away with his usual shenanigans. To no one's surprise, Bobby is the Team Leader for Team 69.​

| NAME: |
Robert William Priest Sr.​

| ALIAS(ES): |
Midas​

| SEX: |
M​

| H-CLASS: |
Orcus​

| ABILITIES: |
Robot Priest's Hyper-Gene allows him to transmutate matter from one substance to another. Most notably, he prefers to change metals from a lesser alloy into a more valuable one. Robot gained his alias due to his love of turning cheap dining utensils made of stainless steel into solid gold. While this ability comes at many risk's, Robot has managed to avoid turning anyone into gold or stone over the year through his eccentric fear of touching and often ensures his hands are covered by a pair of leather gloves which on more than a few cases have been accidentally transmutated into other materials. Thankfully a glove is rather easy to undo unlike the complex human body. Robot's ability is also only tied to his hands.​

| HISTORY: |
"It's all Fool's Gold."

An eccentric millionaire with the ability to transmutate matter, Robert Priest Sr. built his fortune by turning worthless metals into something new and profitable. His ability allowed him to turn aluminum into titanium, rust into steel or even copper into gold. Found by the Department of Hyperhuman Quality, Logistics and Protection, Priest found himself interested in the group and decided to invest in it while sending his son away to P.R.C.U. Over the years, Priest has been a primary 'investor' in the institute providing near limitless funds to the school while keeping under the radar so as not to upset the economy. For this reason, Robot has to be careful about what he transmutate, as too much of a precious metal or gem could affect the entire world.​
