White Wood Academy

Welcome to White Wood Academy. Whether you are a returning student or a new student, White Wood is the primer place of learning for those with extraordinary abilities. We offer courses for those who are just coming into their powers and for those who want to take the next step into the Superhero community. We accept anyone from all walks of life. Cannot afford the tuition? Apply for a Xerus grant today and join us here at White Wood.

-Headmaster Xerus

Hello and Welcome to my RP! 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.



White Wood was founded in 1946 by a retired Superhero. 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.
The following courses are offered to their Alpha students.

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.

White Wood’s Campus is a multi-acre complex. 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.

There are multiple buildings. Two dorms for Alpha and Epsilon students. A large cafeteria. Specific buildings for courses. Multiple libraries and training centers.

And we've made it to the rules. (If you’re looking for information about characters, please check out the character tab)

1. Don't post your CS in the Character Tab until it has been reviewed and accepted.
2. Follow the rules of the guild.
3. Expect to post once every other week or else your character will be remanded to the GM and becomes an NPC.
3a. If you cannot meet posting requirements let me or my Co-Gm know and we'll work with you.
4. We will cover mature themes in this thread. However if sexy times ensue, take it to PMs.

I'll keep my eye on this. While I can't fully commit to another game, side characters that need puppeting I think I can do.

Phew, okay. Been sitting on this concept (and this character I like) for a while so the words came easily to me. Let me know if there's anything I should change or add!

Would it be safe to assume you are still accepting characters for this role play? If so I have a character from a book I was writing at one point I would like to use here.

I have a few questions, to help make my character and backstory, please.

What is/are the source of powers?
How common are people with powers?
Are powers determined by any particular cause or reason, such as cause of trauma, genetics, or personality? Or perhaps linked to a particular relic/technology or god/alien?
Can people with powers get mutations, either temporary or permanent?
Does gaining powers have any effect on a person's psyche?
You say we are in contact with aliens. Does that mean just the governments, or do they walk among us? Could our characters be aliens?

I know you want to leave a lot of the world building up to us, but please let me know if you already had any answers in mind to these questions. Thank you. =)

@LostButterfly92Sources of power include but are not limited to being born that way, lab accidents, aliens, and magic.
Pretty common
Powers are determined by whatever you want them to be.
People with powers are susceptible to mutations just like anyone else.
It would depend on how they gained their powers. If it was traumatic, I’m sure that would have an effect. If they were born with it, I’m sure it would have less of an impact.
Aliens are rare, but they do walk among us. The government has more contact than the average person. And yes, you can play an alien.

Think of this world a nice mash between Marvel, DC and popular indie superhero comics. How much of one thing over the other is determined by the players.

Alright...here she is. Leaned more into the Nebula aspects, I think. Let me know if there's anything I should change or add. Will be going to bet and probably won't be able to read or respond to anything for the majority of tomorrow, given it's Christmas Day. But y'know I'll be up for like 16 hours and not going to be busy for all of them, haha, so who knows

As far as I am concerned it is. I just figured that everyone was on holiday so I wasn’t going to start asking for CSs until the new year.

I’m just about to head for bed. I’ll look over your CS tomorrow.

@Zoey BoeyAlright, I read it over. I just have two questions, then it’s accepted.

1. How long had she been at The Academy? Your backstory didn’t include that.
2. When she escaped were the other children still there? If so, are they the “bad guys from her old school”?

Overall I enjoy the changes you made. I really like the added Nebula bits. It ties her together better than before.

@NeverEnding Awesome!

1. Now that I think about it, I guess it was because I wasn't sure. This is her first year at the academy is all I know. I would like it to be her first day of school as I would like to roleplay her getting used to an entirely new environment from the get go. So if the RP is starting mid semester she could be a new arrival. She's, well, definitely gonna need a lot of help no matter what but I was hoping that could make for some fun roleplay opportunities. What's more school-y than learning how to read?

2. Yes there were but they were just your "average" trained assassins from birth. And there are also regular ninjas who were adults who came there and make up the bulk of the Warlord's forces and do most of the conquering and killing and all that supervillain stuff. Kay was the Warlord and the Assassin's pet project. I imagined that they've pretty much co-opted the government of a nation state so they also have regular soldiers, too.
