This is going to be a little different because I want the players to have a direct input on shaping this world. Names of predominate Superheroes. Places, even countries. And most of all, major world events. This means I’m going to be general when talking about our world. Anyone mentioned or even vaguely mentioned is fair game to pull into your character’s background if you so desire. If world building in a group setting is not for you, this probably isn’t the place for you. That said I hope this creative direction doesn’t scare you off. I will allow inspiration from Marvel, DC and other indie comics. As names, places and events come in through accepted character sheets and OOC chatter, I’ll start compiling it into the 0 post and making edits to this post if needed.

They recognized there needed to be a safe place for those who were not heroes. Children, who had powers they couldn’t control. Individuals who decided they needed to use their abilities for something other than themselves. Thus, White Wood was created. There are two distinct programs at White Wood. The Alpha Program and the Epsilon program. The Alpha is aimed towards children. They accept any child who has magical abilities and/or super powers. The program is there to train them to control their abilities and to make sure they do not harm themselves or others. It also educates them in the dangers they face from others who would want to use their abilities in harmful ways. (E.G. Child Soldier, Evilsidekick, etc) This program is not geared as a gateway into super-heroism. These students are called Alpha students and they wear blue school uniforms. [hider=Alpha Uniform][img] https://www.bluecoatschoolliverpool.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/IMG_4425-e1489058059347-1024x566.jpg[/img][/hider]The following courses are offered to their Alpha students. [hider=Alpha Classes]Maths English History Physics Biology Geography Social Studies Political Science Physical Education Science Music Powers and Abilities (Physical, mental and magical) Extracurricular courses (such as gymnastics, football, band, etc)[/hider] The second program is aimed at training Superheroes. They are young adults/adults who wish to be a Superhero. Anyone under the age of 17 cannot be accepted into this program. This is a rigorous set of courses than span at least four years. Third year students are allowed to go out in the field and intern with a Super if they desire. They are not required to wear a uniform. Below are types, not all inclusive, of courses White Wood offers for their Epsilon students.

It has artificial created ecosystems to support life other than human. There is a large lake in the middle of White Wood that supports aquatic life. The main building also connects to rooms under the lake that allow access to the waters. [img]https://aplusarchitecture.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/050.jpg[/img] There are multiple buildings. Two dorms for Alpha and Epsilon students. A large cafeteria. Specific buildings for courses. Multiple libraries and training centers. [hr]And we've made it to the rules.
