Herculean Academy: Arc 1 - Welcome To The Academy

Previously on Herculean Academy...

- A group of teenagers with superpowers wake up on train, with no idea of where they are or how they got there. However, they soon realise they are all headed to Herculean Academy, a secret Superhero School located underground.

- Three of the students, Alexis (played by co-GM Rune_Alchemist), Kitty (played by our co-Gm on Hiatus, Nightmare Bunny) and Graham (played by Ogobrogo), immediately hit it off as they all share a love for Pokemon puns and are dubbed the 'Loser Trio' by snobby fellow student Brett (played by Fabricant, who unfortunately no longer part of the roleplay).

- Needless to say, Brett and Alexis take a disliking ot eachother and start a fight, both them just happening to have sound-based powers. This causes the train to crash, meaning that one of the teachers, an Eldrichian alien parasite called Meredith (also played by Rune), has to come and find the source of the chaos.

- Some of the students are badly injured in the crash and have to be taken to see the school nurse Dorian (also played by Bunny). These students included Kitty, a quiet girl called Aspen (played by Classified, who may or may not still be here) and a young boy called Cheol who escorted her (played by me!)

- Eventually all the students were rounded up and taken to the platform once Meredith had found out what had happened, where they were introduced to vice-principal Nina Smith (also played by me). She welcomed them to Herculean and was about to take them inside the school when...

- ... three government agents showed up, escorting a young girl bound in a wheelchair and straitjacket. This girl was known only by the name of Deia (played by TheHangedMan) and possessed powers far greater than many other superheroes. The agents entrusted Nina with caring for Deia, hoping that she could find some way to make Deia useful for the side of good.

- Nina then escorted everyone inside the school and deciding on the rooming situation. She then allowed everyone to pick their own room. During this, however, young Cheol fainted and had to be taken to the school nurse. Once he was 'patched up', he met up with own roomate Paul (played by Vec).

- After the rooming situation had been decided, everyone was taken the cafeteria to eat.

- Also, there is a sexy vampire chick called Anastia Anastasia (played by Zoldyck), and everyone wants her booty. Mostly Alexis. She really wants Anastasia's booty. She can barely control herself. Seriously, Alexis, just kiss her. Right now.

Oh God, Rune's going to kill me for that last part!

And so ends the prologue of Herculean Academy, and now we begin with the first story arc, in which our heroes(?) will begin their first day of classes.

This will be the perfect time to introduce new characters, who you can all say were on the train to begin with, but just didn't really interact with anyone.

Let the chaos begin!

(If you want to see the prologue for yourself, please go here. There's more information there if you're confused.)

Arc 1

Welcome to the Academy

Rules

1. You may play up to four characters. They can be either students or teacher, but you can only have a limit of two teachers. If you want, all of your characters can be students, if you think you can handle it.

2. Make sure we don't have to many characters with the same powers. If too many people have too similar abilities, I'm gonna have to put a restriction.

3. Please try and keep characters from getting overpowered, at least to begin with. They might get stronger as the roleplay goes on, however, maybe even discovering extra powers. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

4. While I do expect to see the common powers such as super-strength, super-speed and various elemental abilities, I'd like to also see some more unusual powers because, let's be honest, slightly strange and obscure powers can be a lot of fun. Be creative, have fun with it.

5. No powerless Batman-esq vigilantes. At least, not for now. I might bring in a storyline about vigilantes later on, who knows.

6. I'm allowing both supernatural and sci-fi superheroes. If you want your character to be a young Doctor Strange, go for it! It will make this roleplay even more fun.

7. While drama is all cool in IC, I'd like there to be none (or next to none) in the OOC. I want us to all get along. I might even set up a Chatzy so we can all get to know each other a little better as I've found that a roleplay remains going if we all get on with each other.

8. I am the GM. Rune is my co-GM, and Zoldyck is standing in for Bunny while she's away as my second co-GM. I would like to respect our authority. If you are doing something against these rules or making things uncomfortable for a number of players, I, Rune or Zol will give you a warning and ask you to stop. If you continue to cause trouble, however, we'll have to ask you to leave.

9. Keep this PG-13, please. Mild swearing is aloud and mild swearing, but no sexual content.

10. If you are planning on dropping out, please tell me. I know it's not always nice to tell someone you're quitting their game, but I promise I won't get mad at you. I might be a little sad, especially if I've particularly enjoyed being part of this roleplay with you, but I'll understand. Sometimes, you have other priorities or too many RPs to keep track of. Either way, I'll understand. And if you're too busy at this moment but want to return later on when you're a little more freed up, don't be afraid to ask. I'll definitely let you return whenever you're ready.

11. After writing your CS, don't immediately post it in the character section. Send it to me, Rune or Zol first veer PM. If we approve of it, you may put it in the Character section. If we ask you to change something, please respect our decision.

13. While this roleplay will have it's serious moments and I expect characters to grow, it will be mostly light, fun and slice-of-life based, at least to begin with. Maybe when one of the numerous subplots I have planned get rolling, it might become more serious. Still, I want this to be a quite fun game. And that being said...

14. ... have fun! I made this game for people to enjoy.

Herculean Academy, The Top School for Aspiring Superheroes: Prologue

Just a note to everyone: we are going to be making a new thread. This one has become quite cluttered and we've lost a lot of people, so we feel moving to a new thread, especially since we'll be adding new people, would be a good idea.

It's not a complete reboot. Everything that had happened in this thread is still valid. The next thread will just simply be moving us on to the first day of classes.

I'm making the thread right now. We won't move immediately, but soon.

Soon.

Is this still open? 'Cause I'd totally be interested.

Herculean Academy:
The Top School For Aspiring Superheroes

"The measure of a man is what he does with power." - Plato

YOU are a normal teenager.

Well, almost normal.

You go to school, you takes your classes, you wish the teachers would give you less homework. Maybe you have friends, maybe a large group or only a couple. Maybe you're a loner. Maybe you're the top student, somewhat a teacher's pet who gets bullied for being a 'know-it-all'. Or maybe you are a bully, a delinquent who has been to the detention room so often, you pretty much have a seat with your name on it.

Either way, you're still pretty much an almost teenager.

An almost normal teenager who has superpowers.

You have superpowers. When you were nine, you may accidentally have accidentally frozen your neighbour's annoying terrier when you were simply trying to shoo it away. Or maybe you have super-strength, and when you angrily slammed the door to your room when you were just thirteen, you took the door right off. Maybe when you were on the run from a group of bullies and wished desperately that you could just disappear... you did. You literally became invisible.

Maybe you were shocked when this happened. Or maybe you weren't. Because you have superpowers, it's very likely to inherited them from your parents, who might actually be superheroes. Or villains. Or both. It's likely you know about this, unless your parents have been trying to protect you this entire time and have kept their identity so secret that even you, their own child, don't know.

Or maybe your parents are Average Joes and Josephines who simply carried a superpower gene. Or maybe you're adopted, secretly or otherwise.

Of course, you may not have been born with powers at all, but gained them through some scientific accident. Or maybe you gained them from magic. Maybe you don't have powers at all, but have some kind of object that gives you special powers.

Or maybe you were one of the many children who were kidnapped to be used in the illegal Esper program and were rescued by one of the many superheroes.

Either way, you have powers. You may be scared, or confused, or maybe excited. And then you receive a mysterious letter:

"Dear _____,
it has come to our attention that you have a gift. You might have known it for a long time, or maybe just realised. Whatever the case, you probably are uncertain as to what to do with your power.

This why we are inviting you to come join Herculean Academy, a boarding school built to house unique individuals such as yourself them and teach them how to control their powers and how to use them for good, and not evil. You have likely heard of the Elite, the most powerful group of superheroes in New York? Well, we trained them.

Well, some of them.

But we have trained many other superheroes, taught them to use their powers, helped them establish an identity and put them to work in a position that best suited their powers. Some of them went on to be solo heroes, others were part of group. Some may have been put up as a support team for another hero due to the fact that their powers may not have been, let's say, combat orientated.

But we have done our best for them and we will do our best for YOU.

If you wish to attend, please show this letter to your parent and/or guardian, who we hope knows of your powers. If not, you might want to have long, quiet chat with them. Once you've got that awkward situation out of the way, please fill in the attached form and send it to us at the return addressed.

Yours faithfully
Vice-Principal Smith"

So this is an roleplay that has already been running for three months (though surprisingly we've all spent way much more time in the OOC so we're barely into the first story arc and the characters have spent more time doing crazy shenaningans than fighting evil). We've also had several dropouts, and some of the players have had to go on hiatus for a bit due to personal reasons, though hopefully they'll be back some day.

However, the roleplay needs some new blood.

So...

If anyone is interested, please fill in the CS skeleton below. You can be either a teacher or a student. Fill in the CS (you can post WIP CSs below and work on them as you go), and post it here. I will then check on it to see if its acceptable. If it is, you're in. I might ask you to change some things, but considering I'm pretty lax, it might not happen.

CS

Real Name:

Superhero Alias: (if you're a first year or someone who has just transferred to the school, it's likely you won't have one of these yet)

Gender:

Age: (for kids, this would be between 11 and 18, but for teachers, it can be pretty much any age above 25)

Appearance: (pictures are allowed)

Power Set:

Other Skills: (e.g. martial arts, a good amount of knowledge on a particular topic or subject, cooking, photographic memory, good at reading and understanding people, able to speak another language etc etc.)

Weaknesses: (from emotional to physical. Of course, be logical about this. If your character's powers are fire-based, then they'd be weak against water. Of course, adding other weaknesses like a low self-esteem or an inability to work well with others is good too.)

Subject: (Teachers Only)

Personality:

Backstory: (should include: whether their parents have powers or not, whether their parents are heroes, villains or civilians, how your character got their powers, and what they were doing before the school found them)

Other: (e.g. voice actors, theme songs, any quirks or tidbits that weren't included above)
