Herculean Academy: Arc 1 - Welcome To The Academy

@Melkor's Active Characters

Geoffrey

Real Name: Geoffrey Burr

Superhero Alias: Ventus

Gender: Male

Age: 33

Appearance:

Power Set: Air manipulation. He has the ability to create air constructs by condensing air into shields, platforms, blades and anything else he can think of. He can expand air, sending his opponents and objects flying. He can move objects by controlling the air around it. He is known for his sphere of protection - he condenses air around him in a large sphere which he uses to block all attacks, he can focus part of the sphere if needed, to block a larger attack. He can also compress air so much that it becomes plasma.

Other Skills:
- Burr speaks English, Spanish, German, Japanese and French. English was his first language. He learned spanish from his grandmother, who only spoke the language. Geoffrey learned German and French from a friend, they are his least proficient languages. He also knows a fair amount of Japanese, he learned this while studying sword fighting in Japan.
- He can handle himself with a sword, but is by no means a master.
- He is a former debate coach.

Weaknesses:
- He is useless in a vacuum.
- He cannot keep his sphere of protection up for long because it will begin melting everything, within a few feet, around it. The pressure from condensing the air into an ultimate shield causes it to super heat.
- He becomes too confident in his own abilities.

Subject: Physics.

Personality: Burr is the type of teacher that lectures for an hour and only uses student’s notes for their homework. He’s relatively easy going, but if you set him off, just remember, he used to coach debate. He likes to make friends with his students, but doesn’t allow it to corrupt their grades.

Backstory: Geoffrey was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His father worked as a detective in a large building, Geoff never learned much about it besides that, all he really knew(This was later on), was that they had stopped many threats to the nation and world. His mother taught at a local elementary school.

He didn’t learn of his powers until he was nine. He was incredibly angry and, briefly, removed the air from another child’s lungs, choking the other kid. Not long after that, his parents found out because a letter had arrived at their home, inviting him to a school for children with powers. He attended, graduated and now teaches physics at the Herculean Academy.

After he graduated, he went on to obtain his masters degree in applied physics. He fought crime, while taking his classes, he joined the group of superheroes called Company of Justice. During this time, he also coached debate in a local high school. After he received his degree, he applied to teach at Herculean Academy and was accepted.

@grandsword's Character
Dropped the RP~

Jacques Veilleur

Real Name: Jacques Veilleur

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:male

Age: Appears 60, but due to the nature of the curse keeping him alive, is actually much older

Appearance: fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/347/e/..

Power Set: Jacques is a master of many magics, in particular, adept in the fields of gravity and lightning.
However, his most renowned fields of skill lie in runes and gem based magic. Utilizing runes, he can apply a multitude of effects, ranging from elemental mines, to magical locks, and even if given enough time to carve it, control over an area's very gravity. However his main runes are as follows
Sowilo : the rune of fire. A smaller rune, intended as a magical bonfire, but utilized by jacques as proximity alert mines by the telltale “whoosh” of their activation. (think like the fire rune from skyrim)

Thurisaz: the rune of force. A large rune, utilized as an enhancer to other magics. As suggested by it’s moniker, it increases the power and force of magic used in it’s area. Jacques uses this when he knows he will be in combat to insure he holds advantage, though due to it’s size, it’s only practical use is as a preemptive measure.

Nauthiz: the rune of binding. A mid-sized rune, and the antithesis of Thurisaz. Where as it enhances magic, Nauthiz weakens it. jacques uses it for two main purposes. One, in his training rooms to keep students magic at manageable levels in case of mishaps. And two, to hide his own magical energy via engraved stones kept on his person.

Kenaz: the rune of Sight. This rune is unique, as amongst his others, it not used for offense or “traps” but rather an enhancement of a direct attribute of whatever is in it’s range. Namely ,capability of sight, to the point where the non physical, the ethereal can be gazed upon. Normally, it is a mid-sized rune, carved into occulary objects to enhance their ability, But in Jacques’s case, due to the inability to use the gem lodged in his empty eye socket as he would other gems, he painstakingly carved a miniature variation of kenaz into it, turning the powerless gem into an eye of ethereal sight.

However, he must carve these runes, and thus it is a laborious, if not effective art.

They also cannot be directly applied against a foe, and thus rely upon enemies wandering into their range of effect.

The gems on the other hand, work on a more personal level. By charging them with his will and magic, the gems can effect the body in various manners.
Healing, a short range explosion, increased speed, or strength. Such physical effects are but a glimpse of gemcraft. Unlike runes, the gems can be charged near instantly, and can be moved once active. The drawback is that a gem can only be charged towards one purpose and once fully drained, crumble to pieces, whereas runes will stay effective so long as they are unmarred. They also can only effect one person at once, whereas runes can effect a large area.
His main gems are
Rubies: charged to cause cherry bomb style explosions for disorientation/distraction
Azurite: charged for freezing effects, mainly in tandem with the thurisaz rune to freeze foes solid.
Onyx: charged to provide hardening effects on clothing, effectively able to turn cloth to armor.
Diamond: charged to heal wounds, effects vary on the size of the stone
Quartz crystal: charged to absorb and reflect offensive magic like a shield

Other Skills: due to his long life, and his studies, Jacques is well versed in knowledge of most magics, even if he he prefers to specialize in his chosen fields. Having dealt with his body’s suffering , he also indifferent to almost all but the direst pain.

Weaknesses: despite his unaging body, his body’s age at the time of the curse was already old, so it is subject to the failings of human wear and tear. In addition, he is not immortal. Merely unable to perish from age. Powerful enough enemies or even a gunshot if he were unprepared would kill him the same as any other human.
Subject: unconventional magics and their uses
Personality: His personality is very contradicting. While he is thoroughly pragmatic and nihilistic, he is at the same time devoted and protective. He doesn't lie, but he does keep secrets and withhold the truth. He means well and is known for fondness of others, but often ends up being sarcastic, especially so when he gives advice.
due to the lessons learned in his life, and the mercy given to him at the hands of others, Jacques will not stand those that needlessly harm others, doggedly condemning such action, and refusing to ally with such people.
And yet, his positive traits are overshadowed by his obsession with the losses he had suffered in his life, an obsession which combined with the curse upon him, plunges him frequently into a deep depression.

Backstory: Born an orphan in the year 2100 to uncertain, but apparently magically inclined parents, the man who would become known as omega grew up a thief on the streets of France, stealing to survive.
For ten years, he did so, until he made the mistake of stealing a jewel from a member of the veilleur mage family. in this time, magic was rarer than it had ever been.

strictly confined to such families. He was caught, but despite calls to have him imprisoned, the family's patriarch; a user of magic that measures the potential mana within one's magic pathways, saw immense potential in the boy. And thus, took him in. Under the banner of the veilleur family, Jacques grew into an outstanding young mage, specializing in counter magic, and ironically Jewel Magic. Eventually, his skill led to him not only taking a commanding role In the local mage’s guild, but being granted the status of becoming the family's next head. It was upon his fifty fifth year however that his life would change forever. The mage he had chosen to succeed him in the guild had turned rouge, investigating dangerous and unethical methods of transferring magical energy, having taken the energy of countless others to bolster his own power.

Thus warranting a warrant of demise upon him.

Further more, when confronted by Jacques's adopted father on these charges, the rouge mage killed him without a second thought, and burned out Jacques left eye when he tried to intervene. Feeling guilty for not seeing his apprentice's madness beforehand, and seeking vengeance;Jacques personally pursued the man for five long years, until finally catching him upon the fields bearing his family name. fatally wounding him with use of his trademark jewel magic, combined with.

But as he prepared to end it, using the very jewel he had attempted to steal all those years before from the man he had come to call his father, kept as a prized reminder of his life's journey; the rouge mage revealed he had been gathering mana for a final act of defiance, to disperse his stolen energy as a virus, and cause chaos by giving magic to the masses.

But before that, in a last gasp of murderous intent the rouge gouged Jacques's beloved jewel into the husk of the eye he had destroyed years before. And using half the stolen mana, cursed Jacques with an unaging, yet constantly suffering body. Then committed the fateful act that began a new age of history in his timeline. Jacques however slowly faded from memory.

Shamed by his failures, and loathing his continued existence. he thus sought to end it. Though he despised the curse upon him, he realized the opportunity it gave. pouring his time into research, Jacques created a one way portal through time. he went back, intending to pass his knowledge to those before his time’s fateful events, in attempt to stop them before they would come to pass. And in the process, hopefully erasing his curse from being inflicted so he could perish in peace.

<Snipped quote by DFTBA>

It's euhm... an underground government funded facility. :P

@Zoldyck

you're terrible explaining things :P

Granted...Fell hasn't even given us much to work with there...aside from it's underground.

I imagine it's in a large, underground cave, either natural or man made. The students actually don't know where it is. It was built secretly so as to..you know, super villains wouldn't find it. Probably has some fancy gardens or something on the outside, sort of like the school grounds. At least, that's how I'm imagining it xP

<Snipped quote by Rune_Alchemist>

There could be a limit to her ability to see initially? Like at first, she would just see mundane memories but as she learned to control it, she would be able to see deeper and more emotional memories?

@NarcissisticPotato

hm~

Well, I like it. Just curious as to how you saw the abilities going...but yeah, we decided it sounded like a good idea, so go ahead with it~
