Palladium Academy (Another Superpowered Highschool)

@Savo

Could you provide a description of the academy? Like what it looks like? Classrooms, training room, etc.

@Pirouette

Right, I'm still working on the locations and such... I've been a bit slow on that. I'll try to have it up as soon as possible, apologies for the inconvenience.

Palladium Academy (Another Superpowered Highschool)

Sorry for the double post, but I just need to alert the people with teacher characters about this.

@wxps350@Pirouette@KaiserElectric, check the transmission logs at the top of the page!

526 : Evaluations

@Rune_Alchemist@wxps350@Pirouette@KaiserElectric

---

Sir or Ma'am, due to the influx of students coming in this year, you and nine others are have been randomly selected to participate in evaluating the new students; this is mainly to speed up the procedure of determining how each students stands in conjunction over controlling their powers.

This task is mandatory; if you haven't finished preparing your rooms for the start of next week, you will still have plenty of time to do so after this procedure is complete.

To proceed, please report to Katherine Sinclair's office to prepare for evaluations; her office is located by the Training Rooms. If you are unaware of where this is, take one of the multiple elevators down to the Physical Education Arena. Head to the opposite side of the arena, as that's where the Training Rooms are. Pass by the receptionist and go either left or right, doesn't matter. Keep going until you see a door labeled "Evaluation Chamber;" this is Mrs. Sinclair's office.

We have alerted her that there will be others to help her with this process, so she will be aware of your arrival. Mrs. Sinclair will fill you in on the details and how you are supposed to go about this process once everyone is there.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Palladium Academy (Another Superpowered Highschool)

Anyways, I'll get something up for our teachers soon; keep an eye out for the 0th post!

Edit: And as a side note, I'll be transitioning us to the school after a few more posts. Then we can get everyone's characters something to eat once they arrive, then get to evaluations!

- Lukas Kunze : A Tram Ride to Somewhere -

@Rice Porridge@Rune_Alchemist

Yawning, the young man slumped near the back of the tram held a hand to his mouth as he extended one arm upwards, listening to the sounds of confused students. Strangely enough, he honestly didn't panic at all, keeping his composure as he rubbed his eyelids, scratching his chin as he watched the cacophony of some students as they overreacted to this unfamiliar environment. Lying right on his right was his very own younger sister.

"Well, arentcha' a heavy sleeper," Lukas chuckled a little, patting the snoring girl as she slept through the calm and chaos of the tram. Rubbing the side of his neck, he cracked it a bit as he rolled it to the side, studying the sleek tram.

While he did notice the beautiful scenery outside of the tram with all the magnificent marine wildlife, he was more interested in the beautiful scenery inside the tram. As panicked as they were, there were a buncha' cute girls in the area, either sleeping, or up and about. Heh, this was just too perfect! It was like he was in his own personal heaven!...

Then again, same could be said for some guys who might creep 'round... which begs him to wonder if his own sister would be safe... hmm.

Grasping his sister, he gently let her lie down on the side of the place where he was just sitting, letting her slumber as he studied the other boy right by her. Lukas stared at the sleeping newbie from head to toe, frowning a little. Sure, he seemed milquetoast, but also had an air of seediness to him... what if he was feigning being asleep?

Hmm, well he could always check his eyes, but there were even more important things to do as he rubbed his chin, looking between the ongoing action as he stood up...

... alright, guess this guy looked harmless enough... I mean, if he spotted the guy making a move on her, he would just knock his lights out of course! But for now, its time to set sale for new horizons! Patting himself down, he made sure everything was on his body.

"Lessee', clothes, check, pants, surprised, but check, sword, again, surprised, but check," he thought, grasping the side of the sheathe and giving it a good shake as he smirked. Perfect, everything is in place!

Taking one last look at his sister, he smiled a little as he took control of his own garments and used it to flip himself upside down. This was sure to get peoples attention, especially those lovely maiden's.

One step forward and he was already looking around the vicinity, looking at the calm, frightened, or even bemused faces as some bickered in the middle of the passageway; he had to move to the side just to avoid bumping his head into the duo.

From time to time, he would wink at a hapless lady, prompting him to spout some cheesy lines along the way.

"Hey miss, try not to stand to close; you're so friggin' hot y'might burn me," Lukas snapped his fingers, giving one hot-blooded looking girl a toothy smile and his trademarked wink to the young girl who seemed not to keen on flirting right now.

"Buzz off, or maybe I might make you melt."

Heh, if you're gonna let yourself get set up like that...

"Oh trust me, my hearts already meltin''cause of how beautiful you are," he smiled, chuckling as the girl lost her cool and slung some colored goo at him; looked to be a mixture of pink, yellow, and other warm colors... and he could feel the heat seething from that thing, jesus!

"Go. Away."

Lukas put his hands up, shrugging as he shook his hands, displaying he would stop pushing her buttons for now as he continued on, dodging most of the people who got in his way, whether they were shouting and getting ready to tussle, or petty squabbles... until he found a rather... interesting sight.

A young boy clinging onto a cute looking girl as he fearfully looked around. Yes, it was a guy, he squinted and looked to make sure himself. This was just too perfect; a way to mess around with one dude and a way to impress the alluring lass.

Alright then, lights, camera, action!

"Well, well, well, aren't you lucky to be wakin' up right by a lovely girl in your arms," Lukas giggled as he shoved one hand into his pocket, using the other to cover up his obvious cocky smile. "Or rather, the other way 'round, but aren't you a lucky fella,'" he mused out loud as he flipped himself off the ceiling and used his telekinesis to give him the perfect landing...

Heh, he probably impressed these two already, especially the cute girl in glasses that he winked at.

The ride, for the most part was peaceful and serene... until she starting coming back to her senses. Between the drifts between reality and the dream, she heard a mixture of jabbering happening before it faded back into silence. This lasted for a few minutes before she blindly began to wake up, groaning a little as she rubbed the drool from her cheek.

Well, something like this was to be expected, her eyes listlessly opening up to stare at the somewhat blurry area she was in. Rubbing her eyelids, she procured a small case from the belongings she brought on her. Popping it open, she swiftly took hold of her glasses, setting it on her as her eyes began to adjust to the vicinity.

The first things she saw were the people in the back, acting nonchalant as she, or calm for the most part. Her visage was blank as she peered down the aisle, listening to the chorus of students, baffled over what was going on.

Adriane was much more baffled herself that they didn't know this was going to happen; I mean, they did fill out an application that came with the letter, right? There were terms and conditions on there! Jeez... "Imbeciles, the lot of them," she sighed to herself, leaning forward a little as she dozed off, waiting for this trip to end.

The young lady breathed in an out, but it wasn't long before her short nap was cut off by someone nearby her... or rather, right next to her. Adriane slowly opened her eyes, gradually turning her head to the boy who asked her a question. Her eyes drifted between the boy and his offer of a Kit Kat bar, her mouth locked in a perpetual frown as she eyed some other people around the room.

Of course, she ended up coming back to his offer after the swift acclimation of some of the few people around her. Adriane's fingers lurched forward a bit as she eyed the chocolate treat, though she usually pulled her hand back an unnoticeable amount each time.

Eventually, she did succumb to the piece as the girl immediately grabbed the piece after a few seconds, albeit a little forcefully. Snapping off a small piece, her arms retreated back into her lap as she looked at the piece of candy, munching it down, little by little as if to savor the flavor.

"... thanks," she spoke, almost in a hushed whisper as she brought her head up, eyeing the young man. At least she was put next to someone who decided not to skim through the application... and if he didn't, well, at least he had his wits...

Palladium Academy (Another Superpowered Highschool)

In the future, mayhaps you could join again dude!

Anywho, I'll get a post up tomorrow for my two charys, and allow our staff some interaction! Hope you guys enjoy talking about evals!

World Warriors: The Nomadic Fist (Quirky Fighting Game Influenced Roleplay)

@Holy Soldier out of curiosity, what fighting style were you aiming for and which character already had that? As most of the characters function in certain fighting archetypes, but play out differently.

Palladium Academy (Another Superpowered Highschool)

Oooh are staff aboard the train? I have first years to terrorize

I assume staff are at the academy already.

@Pirouette

Yeah, the staff are all present at the academy. Not like they have any homes to return to or anything :P

That and they need to prepare for the new year ahead, so yeah.

Palladium Academy (Another Superpowered Highschool)

And with that said and done, everyone, the ic has begun! Anyone who has shown interest can still apply during this time! However, I will be closing applicants off once the prologue is over.

With that said, I'll be finishing up my other characters and locations. Later!

Prologue: The Prelude of a New Era

---

---

Alone in a darkened room, a much older man looking to be in his sixties reclines in the back of his chair, listening to the ambience of the speakers as they play a Star Trek episode. The hologram in front of him flashes scenes that go between the inside of the ships and the intergalactic battle going on. The room seems to be neatly packed, old carpets tucked away and well maintained, a wooden clock from an outdated age sits on a wall to his right hand side. While there are traces of slick new technology such as the minuscule holographic projector and the out of place sleek desk, the room is reminiscent of a much older time with some of its hand-crafted wooden coffee tables, two rocking chairs, and strangely enough an unused chimney.

As the man relaxed, a loud buzz fills the air, lingering only for a few seconds before going off. Sighing, the man sits up properly, rubbing his eyes and sniffling as he tugged away at a few loose strands of hair. Clicking the remote at his side, the projector lightly whizzed off and with another tap, the shade started to lift from the window, introducing a dim light into the room.

As the place lit up, the man procured his glasses that were sitting nearby an ash tray; a cigar butt lay there, recently finished as the man set the glasses on his face. "Looks like it's that time of year again," a bass voice grumbled as he coughed a little.

"Come, come, the day is waning sir and or ma'am," he beckoned into the speaker near his desk, setting both his arms on the desk as he stared expectantly at the doorway. Some smoke escaped his nose like a bull as the suit entered the room.

They all wore all the same outfits; crisp jacket, crisp tie, crisp pants, hmph... except this boy looked a little out of his league. He seemed to look around, in wonder of the area from what the man saw; also adorned with glasses. The man patiently await for the boy to stop surveying his room.

...

...

It had been five minutes, couldn't he deliver the news already? Clearing his throat, the headmaster tilted his head a little before speaking. "Are ye quite done sight-seeing boyo'?"

The gruff voice seemed to startle the young man, jolting into position like a fresh-face militant, waiting orders. "Uh-uhm, Mr. Harrowed Mist-"

... oh, it was a girl; no way a man could speak with such a feminine conjecture... they almost all were the same alright.

Leaning back a little, he held up a hand, causing them to yield and wince a little. Poor kid, bracing for an impact that would never come. "I dun go by my vigilante name anymoore; jus' call me Neil Farron," he grumbled, staring the young woman down. "... 'lright? Now, what were yeh sayin'?"

"Ah, uhm," they stumbled, trying to catch their breath as they seemingly tried to match their composure against his own. Honestly, at this point, they failed hard already and should stop embarrassing themselves, putting it lightly. "S-sir, ATLAS requires y-you to read this l-letter."

Really. He would of never guessed. Furthermore, Neil was getting a little irritated by the constant supply of letters. Yes, he was old, but he had access to this magical, futuristic thing known as technology... I mean, there was a right computer at his desk for crying out loud... no mater how many times he would tell them when on break...

"Alright, jus' set it right down... here, missy," Neil tapped the center of the table, vacant as it was. The woman made it brief, quickly setting it down before quickly leaving the room... wonder if she had super-speed?

Ah, no matter, there were other matters to be attended to. Snatching the letter, he swiftly opened it up and began looking over the contents of it all... a list of new aliens under surveillance at Palladium with a brief description over their powers, a meeting he would have to attend this week, and they wanted to alter the speech again...

"Alwehs at the last second," he grumbled, looking over the new premade speech the higher ups at ATLAS required him and the other headmasters to learn and say. Couldn't they try to be punctual? Well, it wasn't his problem if the others couldn't memorize this all fast enough.

Pocketing the letter, Neil stood up, stretching his arms to the ceiling as he stifled a yawn. Letting his arms loose, he scratched the back of his neck as he sniffled, walking towards the unused fireplace. "Well, lets get to work then..."

Slowly, but surely, his whole body began to dissipate into a cloud of gray smoke that started flying up the fireplace, leaving the room completely abandoned.

Time to get to work.

As the hours continued to pass in the waking world, a flaming sun began to show its face once more over the horizon, beckoning those in its wake to rise up once again. However, certain people weren't privy to such natural things. Far below the ocean and out of anyone's sights was a glass tube, surrounded by rocks, coral, and all the works. Within the tube, there lies a silver, bullet trains zooming through the fortified chamber. It was simple, the inside having the usual windows at looking outside to watch the walls quickly zoom on by.

But, there was another catch to the train - it had an overhead window which stretched all the way to the back of each unit. The reason for this was that it gave the train an overview of the ocean above them, allowing the passengers to get a beautiful look of the marine wildlife. It wasn't uncommon to see schools of fish pass them by, or a passing manta ray overhead. Sometimes a few clown fish would show up, or a huge whale shark would obscure a persons view.

And that wasn't getting into the coral that sometimes obscured a persons view.

Even so, some of the students occupying the train wouldn't be able to see such a view with the drugged state they were in. All of them were administered a drug that would keep them asleep for enough hours to load them all onto the train. While some time had pass already, some of the new students were starting to awaken from their slumber, groggy and yawning, trying to figure out what was going on.

Some strange figures were out and about, making it difficult to tell if said person was an alien or human-being with no control over their transformative powers. Those with less than stellar control over their powers were quarantined to the farthest trains, allowing them not to injure anyone, or themselves for that matter.

There was some commotion on trams three and back, but the first two were oddly quiet... probably due to the fact that they were filled with awestruck second to sixth year students who were either chatting or taking in the ambience of the scenery above them.

Moving focus onto the third tram, the new students there were slowly coming to their senses, yourself included. Hopefully they would be able to adjust to their environment soundly and not cause a ruckus... pfft, that was usually par for the course; usually some new students would cause an uproar, others confused, in awe of the scenery, or frightened by all these supers.

But you? That all comes down to you.

So, rise up, young one. Rise up and smell the ashes.
