The Armstrong Academy (School is Closed Until Further Notice)

Armstrong Academy: Freshman Year

The Story So Far...

The date is September 2nd, 2913 and excitement fills the air surrounding Armstrong Academy, for today is freshman orientation. Those returning to the school reunite with old friends and mentors, chatting about their summer experiences and what they're looking forward to with the start of the new academic year.

The headmaster, Richard Armstrong, stands proudly in front of the school; greeting students with a welcoming smile and an inspiring presence, a tradition on orientation day. For you see, this is Armstrong's favorite part of any year, it is a moment filled with new beginnings, new friendships, and unlimited possibilities.

This year the academy accepted nearly 100 new students, a record high in this new age of heroics, each student hand-picked by Armstrong himself, each for their own reason, each who will experience their own journey, their own successes, their own failures. It is impossible to tell what this year will hold for his new students but he knows how important it will be for all of them, and how important it is for the academy to serve them as well as it is able.

Before long the new faces arrive from various transports throughout the Multiverse; a carrier-bus, a tradition for collecting the first year students, emerges from it's hyper-space travel and slowly comes to a stop at the academy gates. The transport doors open and students being pouring out, some of them already deep in conversation with new friends they've made on the trip, others, keeping to themselves, a bit overwhelmed with the rush of new experiences. As they arrive Armstrong's smile grows wider and he watches them as they gather around the front courtyard, watching their curiosity spread throughout the crowd as they observe their peers, their faculty, their new home.

The transports begin to pull away -- a signal to Armstrong that his time has come, and so, with a booming voice that commands attention, respect, admiration, he silences the crowd.

Armstrong: Greetings young heroes, and welcome to the Armstrong Academy! My name is Richard Alexander Armstrong; founder of the Armstrong Academy and your standing headmaster for the years to come. It is with great pleasure that I welcome you here, to my home, and now, yours, as we explore together what it means to truly be a hero. Here you will learn from the best the Multiverse has to offer, instructors who've been hand-picked for their expertise in various fields of super-heroics. You will grow from experiences; both personal and shared, and become the hero you're meant to be. Now, on my left here is the assistant headmaster, and my good friend, Harrsion J. Hale.

Hale: Hello everyone, I'm so pleased to see all of your bright, shining faces here in front me of today.

Armstrong: Harrison and I will be leading you on a quick tour of the school. Don't worry about asking any questions during the tour, we'll provide you with a pamphlet that has everything you need to know, and student representatives will be scattered throughout the campus to help you navigate your first week here. Now, is everyone ready?

There is a mutual agreement from the crowd, ranging from enthusiastic cries to more subtle nods.

Armstrong: Great! Let's begin!

The tour begins and the new wave of students fall in line behind Richard Armstrong as he navigates the campus, explaining each of the facilities and services that the academy can offer it's students. It moves through the rotunda in the main hall where banners hang from the rafters displaying emblems and ensigns from throughout the known Multiverse, representing each of the many worlds. Current students watch as the new students pass by, they point and whisper about what powers they might have, how strong they might, what they could possibly bring to the school.

They move through the Science Center where various laboratories are in use as students study various fields -- anatomy and physiology of extraterrestrial life, metahuman biology, quantum physics, and so, so much more. Then through the History Wing where a museum is featured, displaying trophies and artifacts dating back to the golden age of heroes. After that, the Sanctum, where the mystical world is explored; here reality seems to bend and twist, an absurd seemingly incomprehensible field of study magic is, but one that these students will soon become familiar with.

The tour moves outside and they pass through the various fields and arenas. The Forge; a massive dome that can replicate combat simulations proves to be one of the more interesting topics of discussion, as the students try and predict what imaginary foes they may face here, while others boast about how impressive they'll be in The Pit, a sparring arena that limits usage of powers, instead showcasing feats of raw, physical power intermixed with combat skills.

Armstrong swells with pride as he hears the students discuss their excitement and anticipation with one another, for he knows that his vision has been actualized.

As the tour comes to a close the class enters a rather sizable lecture hall, massive tables fill the hall with plenty of seating for it's new occupants. Once everyone is inside Armstrong makes his final announcement.

Armstrong: It's time to begin your journey! Please, take a folder from either myself or Hale and then find yourself a seat. Inside the folder you'll find a detailed map of the campus with all of our facilities listed for your convenience. Also included in your folder is a short questionnaire. Please answer it to the best of your abilities, as your answers will determine your roommate for the academic year. We do our best to pair you together by preference, experiences, and what we feel will help your personal growth the best. Now, enough explaining, lets get to it!

As he finishes his speech he begins handing out folders to the Freshman class, his associate, Hale, does the same. Students begin to take their seats, you should join them.

The First Task - Orientation Form

Question 5 - What Do You Hope To Accomplish

This is a short answer question; what do you, as a student here at Armstrong Academy, hope to have accomplished by the end of your first year. What are your goals? Ambitions?

It doesn't have to be long, a simple paragraph is enough.

The Academy Handbook

Here are the rules of the Academy, follow them or face varying consequences.

Posting Rules

• There will be a deadline for each advancement. The advancements will ideally happen every 2 - 3 days. If my schedule gets more intense there may be more time between advancements. The deadline for the next advancement will be posted with each advancement.
• Posts do not need to be super duper long. I'm sure, in most instances, that a 1 - 3 paragraphs will suffice, but there is no limit. The more detail you give me the more detail I can put into your story.
• Posts should have some element of role play to them.
• Failure to post without reason for absence (ex: if you're going away on a trip and can't post, let me know, if you're really busy with school for a week, let me know, I can keep your character moving for 1-2 weeks) will result in your player character becoming an NPC and your participating in the scenario being ended until the next chapter, where you may enter as a new character.
• Tag me in every one of your advancement posts so I can keep track of every advancement.

Combat Rules

• Assaulting a fellow student or faculty member will result in the appropriate punishment.
• Most combat will be settled rather quickly, given that most combat will be between players and NPC foes. When there are moments of Player v. Player combat it will be handled in a separate thread of my creation. Player v. Player combat is more rare given the rules of the scenario, but there will be situations when it arises.
• You must provide proof for your combat claims, similar to a CAV or other Tournament Debate.
• Act in character for combat; like every other situation. Avoid meta-gaming.
• Myself and the other co-hosts have final say on how combat situations go. There may be plot-shields that prevent you from killing a foe, instead resulting in them being KO'd or severely injured.

Story Rules

• Players will have as much freedom as I can offer; but, like any D&D Campaign, this is an ensemble effort. I've designed a world that your characters exist in. While I accept as many story-telling elements that you offer I may have to edit/ignore certain aspects of the story if they don't fit/are too bizarre or out of character.
• I will synthesize posts if multiple users are contributing to one story line. This may mean that not everything in your post happened exactly as you wrote it. That's my job as a DM, organizing the story and making sure it flows, adjusting to what you all post.
• Actions have consequences; keep this in mind. If you potentially kill an important character you could end a part of someone's story.
• NPC students/faculty/etc., may be more powerful than you. The students in your grade did not have the same limitations as you. Many of them have powers that might be considered mid or high tier if used to their maximum ability. For story-telling purposes, many of them won't have access to their full power at this level, instead, learning as they go. Do not be shocked if you get in a fight with a foe who is vastly more powerful than you.

If there are any other rule questions, ask. I tried to keep this as open as possible given that it is about storytelling and I don't want to limit anyone too much.

To prevent clutter in the thread send rule questions to me via a PM. I will answer you there and if it pertains to the entire scenario will also post the answer here.

Location Guide & Maps

Here is a rough map of the school grounds; I am not a microsoft paint wizard, but by the end of this scenario maybe I'll have my own exhibition.

Location Descriptions

Here is each location in more detail:

• Front Courtyard - A wide, open courtyard; frequently used by students to socialize during their down time.
• Auditorium - A large auditorium which features displays to each different Earth in the Multiverse. Assemblies often happen in here, as well as school theatre productions.
• The Lunch Room - Big ol' Cafeteria for students to eat and refuel.
• The Headmaster's Office - Represented by the RED DOT. This is Armstrong's personal office; access is invite only. Those who have been inside claim it is host to some of the most powerful artifacts in the world, Armstrong displays them as reminders of his past triumphs and keeps them out of the wrong hands.
• The Science Wing - The science wing is home to various laboratories and research facilities all related to the pursuits of science. It is here that one will find the surgery room and nurses office; it is often used for studying Anatomy and Physiology. A genetics facility that is home to the research of metahuman abilities and quirks and is used by many of the biology classes; next door is the chemistry lab, used to study various drugs and chemical compounds. Finally, there is the physics lab; which is used to study various energies and universes through means of science. It is frowned upon by those in the science center to use magic; but you won’t get detention for it, just a stone cold glare. Much of the science wing is decorated with busts and imagery of the multiverses top scientists.
• Engineering Center - Connected to the science center is the engineering center; used by students who are following a technological study. The facilities in the engineering center consist of a weapons room where students can build and deconstruct powerful technological weapons, a firing range, to test these weapons, and a full sized spaceship, that, in emergencies, can be detached from the school and be used to travel through the cosmos. This ship is maintained by the shop class instructor who had built the ship by hand for intergalactic death races throughout the universe.
• The History Wing - The history wing is host to the history classrooms as well as the archives (a large library) and the museum, where artifacts from other earths are preserved for study and examination.
• The Ocularium - The ocularium is home to all of the mystical teachings and facilities on the grounds. Here a library for the occult can be found, and artifacts considered too dangerous to be in the museum. There are rumors of dark magical sacrifices that’ve happened in hidden classrooms, but those are just rumors.
• The Dormitories - There are dorms for both male and female students. Each dorm room has a room area and bedrooms for the students. Roommates share their common area but may keep their own rooms private. Each room comes with image inducing technology to reshape the visual aesthetic of the room to help with cases of homesickness. Rooms are also provided with terminals to access the internet as well as other basic commodities.
• The Pit - A sparring center where power dampeners can be turned on for matches of pure skill and raw physical power.
• The Forge - While it sounds like it may be used for weapon creation, the forge is actually a high tech simulation center used to train students in what it’s like to operate out in the field. Students can fight holographic villains and monsters, attempt to rescue citizens from environmental hazards, or whatever else is required. The Forge is where real heroes are made and is run by the physical education instructor. It’s said that everything seen in The Forge is based on experiences that the faculty have had in their heroic careers, makes us wonder, what the hell did some of these people go through.
• The Arboretum - Represented by the BLUE dot. The arboretum is home to many exotic plants from various worlds and dimensions. It is cared for by both faculty and students and is studied by some of the biology classes. Be careful in here, as some of the plants have a mind of their own!
• The Sanguine Wilds - The sanguine wilds is a grouping of large forest area outside of the grounds. Various wild animals live here and it’s a popular destination for the outing club. It’s dangerous to explore here alone and without a faculty member, as some incredibly dangerous species live in the woods.
• Lover's Lagoon - The lagoon, also known as lover’s lagoon, is a large body of water located on campus. It is rumored that couples will sneak out here late at night for illicit activities, but it’s primary function is for water-based heroes to train their abilities, for practice naval battles, and for relaxing on a hot summer day. During the winter months the lake is frozen and students can often be found ice skating or playing hockey.

When in these locations I will do my best to describe your surroundings. Similar to D&D I won't explain every little detail, but if you need clarification on something or have a question about a detail you deem important, feel free to ask.

Some of these areas are guarded by magical and technological security systems; breaking into the museum is probably going to set that off, or using a lab center without getting permission/after-hours.

Reminder - Keep Unrelated Chatter Out Of Main Thread

Instead use the Discord. Keep the main thread as ON TOPIC as possible to prevent having to sift through off-topic posts to find your advancements.

Hey Peeps

My name is Jökul, I'll be attending this institution with you!

About Me

Fluffy wasn't used to be in the middle of crowds, that wasn't a thing someone of his status would do frequently. But even so, he felt a sense of tranquility there, like he was finally among people like him, different from the powerless common folk.

He paid close attention to the speech and committed everything to memory, it was a good opportunity to take a look at the ones who ran things there. "They got to be imaginably powerful . . .", he thought.

After the speech, he looked around for a bit and was not surprised by the type of people he saw. "Humans everywhere . . . at least it won't be hard to stand out". He grabbed the shrunk suit in his pocket, that his father gave him. "They'll see what I can do".

The form seemed simple, but it'd certainly be important for what would come. He carefully read it and answered the questions.

"1) Okay, class selection. Fighting with your hands or melee weapons is rather primitive, so those are out. Guns are very crude as well. Winners don't take drugs, so performance enhancement is just cheating. Magic might be a bit too much right now, and body improvement is too much work. In that case, history and gadgets it is.

2) What kind of hero I am? Never thought about that, hmm . . .

First is too idealistic, second is way too edgy, and the third is basically asking to be sidelined. I'll lead the weak into victory, fight for myself and my people, and slaughter all who stand in my way . . . alright, they might not like that, some euphemisms should work.

3) Tactics. Powers, gear, and fight smart. This is easy.

4) Why come here? To get more powerful, obviously . . . 'to improve myself to the best of my abilities', yeah, that should work.

5) My plan is to suppress all my peers and prove myself as the best. They'll follow me from there. So . . . 'to stand out and lead my friends into a better future'. Man, I'm good".

And that was just in his head btw. Just in case . . .

This is what I give them:

Question 1 - Class Selection:

• Engineering 148: Introduction to Gadgets - This class focuses on how to create and engineer your own gadgets for offensive, defensive, or supportive use.
• History 102: The History of Earth 1 - This class focuses on giving a detailed history of Earth 1, the Prime Earth in the Multiverse and the location of Armstrong Academy, granting knowledge of the heroes and villains that have populated this world.

Question 2 - What Type Of Hero Are You?

• (D) - Other: A leader who stands with the weak, fights for his friends, and captures enemies

Question 3 - Tactics

• (C) - I rely on my powers to help me save the day, I like using them in creative and experimental ways.

Question 4 - Why Armstrong Academy

• (D) - Other: To improve myself to the best of my abilities

Question 5 - What Do You Hope To Accomplish

To stand out and lead my friends into a better future!

@jacthripper: "Damn, that's dark. With you on the cold drinks and hot babes though. I'm more of a lover than a fighter truth be told."

@lunacyde: "Hey, I mean, life sucks, but that doesn't mean that I can't look for the good in it. What kind of guy are you?"

(Waits expectantly for introduction)

@jacthripper: "Oh, yeah...where are my manners" Jack wiped his hand on his jeans and extended it toward Jokul. "Jack Twain gambler extraordinaire", he said with a wink.

Jack.

@lunacyde: Nice to meet you Mr. Twain, or shall I all you Jack. So you like to gamble? Perhaps you would entertain me sometime? I'm a fair hand at cards as well...

Ringo is taken aback by everything going on around him. "So are we supposed to just tell everyone our answers? " He mumbles, looking for a teacher to clarify. @thetruebarryallen

@jacthripper: "Ah, Jack's fine, I'm not thirty." He eyed the kid across from him keenly. "We will have to..." he trailed off as he saw a few upperclass girls walk by.

The girls.

@lunacyde: (Turns his head and chuckles)

Well, it's good to know that someone else here has good taste!

Armstrong see's the student raise their hand and responds to their question.

Armstrong: Do whatever you'd like to! We're a family here so if you'd like to share your answers with everyone you may, but, if you're more the private type you can simply hand them in to me.

He smiles, a great big Gorilla-toothed smile.

@thetruebarryallen: Ringo gulps as a number of students look his way. He stands and slowly walks up to the smiling man, handing him the forms and ducking back into the crowd.

"10 minutes in, and the humans already can't keep it in their pants. Sigh . . . "

@jacthripper: "You're good man", he fist-bumps Jokul before moving in the direction of the girls. "Me and you....cards later", he smiles before disappearing in the crowd of students, discretely pulling a flask from his hip.

@thetruebarryallen: The overall tour was pretty nice once she ditched her sword in a bush near the entrance of the school. The deep-seated knowledge that it will come back to her eventually both comforted and disturbed her. Saga settled into the seat and took some time to actually get to order her thoughts. Her mind reeled from the things she saw today in the school. Thinking about it only made the situation feel more ridiculous Traveling to other dimensions, alien life forms, and a talking monkey? I thought I'd freak out or get scared but this feels kinda.....dull actually.....compared to watching Star Trek at least...maybe it's because of that damned sword...or that your imagination is greater than reality or however they say it. After some time, she snapped out of her thoughts and found that she had spent several minutes contemplating her day without actually answering the questions. She hurriedly went through orientation form.

1. Class Selection-Using Your Hands and Phys Ed

Well..I never got anything better than a C in my science classes so Anatomy/Physiology, Gadgets, Chem, and Bio are out. I guess history since I do want to learn about the history of the sword and hopefully me as well...that'll help probably? Or maybe not? I don't think superheroes have anything to do with me or the sword? Also PE. PE and sports were always easy. Even before getting the sword. And I guess Martial Arts would help a lot. I need to learn how to fight by myself even if I got a pretty big head start on that.

2. What Type of Hero Are You- (D)- Other Please Explain

She fumbled out an answer onto the paper that she hoped sounded coherent:

I'm not really even sure if I want to even be a hero. Back on my Earth we never had heroes. I mean like the heroes you see in comics here. It's really exciting to think about becoming one but also kind of stressful. Am I going to find out later that I had sex with my son from the future who was visiting the past? I kind of just want to go on being a normal person, but think I might as well be a hero since I can do things no human(back on my Earth at least) can do.

2. Tactics- (A) - I charge in and deal with my problems head on, using my fists and melee weapons to get the job done!

It's the only thing I'm good at really.

4. Why Armstrong Academy- (B) - I want to learn more about my past and think this will help me.

Saga knew something was different about her back on her Earth ever since she found the sword at the bottom of the lake. All of her physical capabilities grew immensely. Doctors told her she was in better physical condition than even Olympic athletes! She could move faster than most people could see and walk on snow without disturbing the surface. She had also gained an affinity for violence. Saga has fortunately rarely used it yet she felt certain whenever she saw people fight that she could take them. She did not like thinking about the strange dreams of going through fantastical lands wielding an exotic array of weapons. It always ended in death. Always either her's or some other person or thing's death would act as the end of the dream. The strangest part was that she had a welcoming sense of familiarity in the different skins she rode whether she was dying or slaying a giant sea creature.

5. What do you hope to accomplish?

I hope to figure out who or what I am and fix whatever's wrong with this sword.

In her mind the sight of a dead body sliced into multiple pieces and the corpse's still living friends looking on with horror made Saga shiver. She quickly added on one last part.

And I also hope to gain control.

Finished with her work, Saga gazed around the room to silently ogle all of the strangely dressed humans and other beings that were to be her future classmates.

@thetruebarryallen:

My name is Junichiro Lancaster, or you can just call me "June". I'll be attending this institution with you.

Lancaster was exotic to meet all of these new people, finally being able to get away from the cold-hellish storm.

He just like everyone else listened to what the headmaster had to say "Hmmm, this is gonna be a good opportunity to see just what everyone is made off". He was thinking during the speech.

After the speech he was ready to introduce himself to all the other newcomers "This is gonna be good, I can feel it".

My Two Class Choices:

"Hmmm let's see here, I'm already an exceptional combatant in hand-to-hand combat and have military training under my belt so martial arts and firearms are primitive. chemistry, PE and biology I feel aren't needed given my exceptional prowess in both physicals and abilities. History is important and very useful as the old man once said knowledge is power. So this just me with engineering or magic, the latter fascinates me more so I'll go with that, probably won't be a walk in the park but hey it's no fun if it's not a challenge"

• Magic 160: Beginners Spell Casting - This class focuses on the introduction of magic and the occult, teaching students how to cast beginner level spells.
• History 102: The History of Earth 1 - This class focuses on giving a detailed history of Earth 1, the Prime Earth in the Multiverse and the location of Armstrong Academy, granting knowledge of the heroes and villains that have populated this world.

Question 2 - What Type Of Hero Are You?

• (D) - I'm just a hero for fun, really.

Question 3 - Tactics

• (C) - I rely on my powers to help me save the day, I like using them in creative and experimental ways.

Question 4 - Why Armstrong Academy

• (D) - Really, just to find all sorts of new people. To learn more about the world, getting a chance to understand myself and further improve on my own capabilities.

Question 5 - What Do You Hope To Accomplish

• To make friends along the way, becoming a worthy hero and to become stronger.

@thetruebarryallen:

Movement 1: A New Journey Begins!

@totallynotjucas: "Its almost like some people don't even appreciate the fact we're here." Overhearing Fluffy's comment Mandy waved as she spoke. "I'm Mandy, and you look like someone who takes this seriously." She paused. "I like that."

@thetruebarryallen

Post #0 Landing in the Academy

Al and his dragon companion Abe sat in front of the bus with showcasing two completely different personalities and feelings about finally landing and seeing the academy.

Al was excited beyond relief finally being able to see the walls outside of Camgrabah which is nice at first until you realize sand has to be one of the most boring thing sot be surrounded by. The school and students around him were something he's never seen before and they didn't like at him like royalty to them, he was just another kid and this was a feeling Al's needed for a very long time.

Abe on the other hand was defiantly impressed by the school but wasn't fond of the looks he was getting from the various students, he shared Al's need to be out the city but this may have been a bit more than he was able to chew. He kept looking around so to give Al the better experience to see their surrounding which he usually wouldn't be able to do due to his innate Blindness so for the sake of his best friend he continued to be Al's eyes in this environment though he'll admit that unlike Al, he did kind of miss the walls that use to surround him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Duo exited the bus Al carrying what little he brought and Abe on his shoulder relaxing without a care in the world feeling more at ease now that they are on the move out of the enclosed space with the other humanoids. They follow the lead of the crowd until they come to a halt as their host begins to speak, only ever catching every other word he says due to their own conversation

"I'm telling you Abe this is what we've been looking for!" Al says with Glee but soon quiets down as the speech is still going and his fellow students begin to look at him.

Abe scoffs and replies in his usual sarcastic tone "I thought stealing your fathers prized sword is what we were looking for, or was that until he caught us and grounded us?"

"You know one of these days partner I'm going to get you a girlfriend maybe you'll stop being such a jer-" Al was interrupted as Abe smacked him with his tail signaling the crowd was moving and we were being shown the grounds.

The Duo were taking in their shared sight and both began to laugh at good places they should "scope out". The duo picked up a folder with a questionnaire and began working together to answer the questions.

The Questions

@thetruebarryallen ^

@stormshadow_x: Having just been rejected by a pair of senior girls Jack began sauntering back through the crowd. The echo of murmering surrounded him, each voice bleeding into the other until it sounded like the low hum of a beehive. Their loss. He was lost in his own thoughts when suddenly he bumped into a fellow student @stormshadow_x, jarring him in surprise. "Whoa, sorry about th-", he smiled from ear to ear at the sight of a small pet dragon on the shoulder of the kid he had just rudely ran into. "Is that a real...?"

@lunacyde

Al and Abe were walking trying to debate on who they should speak to first agreeing their "first" had to be together but Abe wanted to speak with the various other creatures he saw which as you can tell couldn't exactly hold a conversation between the both of them, while Al wanted to speak with some of the kids his age but Abe thought most people Al's age were way more annoying than any creature had the right to be...so that were at a sort of at a split pass right here. The pair continued to argue until a taller and slightly older male bumped into them lightly. (@lunacyde)

Al was ecstatic and took this as a sign while Abe disapproved and refused to acknowledge the boy, the duo heard the boy apologize as he drifted into looking directly at Abe, which made Abe feel uncomfortable slightly leading him to accidentally and involuntarily releasing smoke from his mouth covering the small area around them in a thick black smoke that despite his origin was normal.

"Abe seriously?!" Al yelled as he began to cough " sorry about that he gets flustered really eas -" Al was cut off as his neck was whipped by a bronze tail. " I mean... Hello I'm Alathur and This is Abe but you can call us Al and Abe for short, Sorry about the smoke" Al attempted to stretch his hand out in the direction of the boy but couldn't make direct eye contact due to his blindness leaving his hand to be a bit lower than it should be.

@stormshadow_x:

"The name's Jack." He quickly reached down and grasped Al's outstretched hand heartily. "So where do I go about getting me one of those?"

Al couldn't see Jack gesturing, but he intuitively understood he was talking about Abe.

@thetruebarryallen: Silently taking his seat, Ryan answers the questionnaire in front of him. His eyes make their way down the list of classes before resting on one centred around guns and their usage. Ryan narrows his eyebrows slightly as he thinks over his options. Then, after deciding that since he's already the best with guns he doesn't need to take classes on them, ignores the class entirely and pens in two other classes.

Ryan proudly nods to himself for his amazing decision-making abilities. Truly he is a revolutionary thinker. Moving on, he answers the remaining questions.

Reaching the last question, Ryan sat back in his chair and thought for a long moment. Then just as quickly as he lent back he returned to a normal seating position and began to fill in the space:

Finishing the sheet, Ryan sits in his chair and pretends to write until he sees someone else get up and hand their own sheet in. Afterwards, he follows suit and hands in his own.

@lunacyde:

Al chuckled trying to keep his cool about someone talking to him normally for once.

"If you're referring to Abe, I'd recommended getting a dog, they're much nicer and don't smack you whe-" Cut of yet again as a bronze tail smacks his neck. " Yep defiantly should go for a Dog, Jack was it? Nice to meet you. Al attempting to keep Abe's origin secret as to not lead the first person he met to know of his royal status in fear of being treated different already.

POST 1

Joseph huffed as he grabbed his paper while he took his seat. He hated idiots. He really hated idiots. Just by the random nature of life, he knew many people that crossed his face would probably be idiots. Joseph knew who he was, an overachieving child with an over bearing dad - I hate you dad for putting me in this place.

He looked at the classes. Anatomy - interesting. Biology even more interesting. Combat, I think I just vomited in my mouth. Magic, boring! He checked the two that he knew would put him on the fast track: Engineering 148 and Biology 152.

He contemplated the other questions on the survey. (B) I am not a hero but I do what needs to be done, no matter the cost. Sacrifices save the day, even if it makes me unpopular or feared by both friend and foe. Who really cares about others. They are idiots. I blow things up and fly away. Its not the most sincere opening for anyone.

Tactics he couldn't place himself in a specific category. (D) Other. He simply wrote, see above, because his tactics was a win at all means no matter the sacrifice.

Why Armstrong Academy? He thought to himself as he checked (D) Other. Was there any other choice? Do you know my dad? He didn't tell me there was any other choice. God, I hate him!

What do I hope to accomplish? He huffed again and started writing. I hope not to be bothered. Just let me do my thing as I win many validations from my work through my educators and rub it in my dad's face.

He turned his survey over, crossed his arms and waited.

As you can tell, Sting is a little bit of a smartass douche with daddy issues

"Huh, paperwork. Haven't done this in quite a while," Nyra thought to herself as she looked at the form.

Classes

"Let's see, it seems several of these are combat. Far too barbaric for me. Oh, but what's this?"

• Anatomy and Physiology 110: Physical Adaptations - This class focuses on learning about the anatomy of extra-terrestrial life forms and those enhanced by metahuman abilities.

"Interesting interesting. What should be my other class?" The engineering class catches her attention. "Let's see, 'Introduction to gadgets?' If that's the best the multiverse can offer me, I suppose I should take it."

• Engineering 148: Introduction to Gadgets - This class focuses on how to create and engineer your own gadgets for offensive, defensive, or supportive use

What Type Of Hero Are You?

D-Other; please explain

I transcend concepts such as morality and thus I beleive the title of "Hero" does not suit me.

Tactics

D - Other; please explain.

Combat is beneath me, however if I had no other option, my stategy would likely be a combination of (c) and (b)

Why Armstrong Academy?

D - Other; please explain.

After my planet was destroyed, I needed a source of income. I easily acquired a position on a space colony where my coworker suggested education. I was told that this school is the best in the multiverse. If I can have the best,( and believe me, I can) why go for anything else?

What Do You Hope To Accomplish

Since I'm already the best, I have no immediate goals and I dont need any either, every one will soon see this to be true.

@stormshadow_x: Jack chuckled, he liked the cut of this kid's jib. "I had a dog once, ate me out of house and home. One time I was down to my last bit of jerky and I'll be damned if I didn't give it to him." He ran his hand through his hair messing it up. "Say, you're not one for cards are you?"

Post 1: A Badass New Beginning

TLDR

Badass chooses the Performance Enhancement drugs and Magic class. His answers are

D

B

C

@thetruebarryallen:

Amane sat on her own on the bus, observing the others without being noticed. As the bus arrived and she got off, she was impressed with the school and the amount of students present. She was definitely one of the older ones, but she didn't mind. Many of the students, particularly the men, smiled or glanced at her. She paid them no attention, except for when they weren't looking. She remained cautious on the inside, but calm on the outside.

Throughout the tour, Amane paid special attention to the faculty members and areas of the Academy. Having as much knowledge as possible on the school and those who work in it could prove useful to her. The Sanctum, The Forge, and the Pit intrigued her as these were the areas where she could learn the most, train, and improve her skills.

She did not feel threatened or intimidated by anyone she saw, except for the headmaster, Richard Armstrong. Something about him exuded immense power, wisdom, and knowledge. She would keep a close eye on him.

Amane took a seat at the very back of the lecture hall, in the corner. She could see almost everyone from this angle. She is handed a folder and looks inside.

@thetruebarryallen:

He entered the hall and saw the dozens and dozens of students near him, there seemed to be about twelve different foreigners with large hats carrying banana shaped metal weaponry(?), humanoid bugs and what appeared to be a literal demon. He was in awe. Where he came from, he was the monster, but here? He felt outclassed. A talking monkey grabbed everyone's attention as he gave his orientation, and passed out folders for us to fill out.

Class Selection:

• Magic 160
• Physical Education 101

Question Selections:

• What type of hero are you?
  • (A) I am a beacon of hope and a shining example of super heroics. I help people because I enjoy it, not only because it is my duty. It is every Knight's oath to be the light within the darkness.
• Tactics?
  • (A) Every Knight should want to be first through the gate, I deal with my problems head on using anything I can.

• Why Armstrong Academy
  

• • (D) - I had no where else to go. I was seen as nothing more then a monster in my world.
• What Do You Hope To Accomplish?
  • Further myself to help out on my mission to protect the weak.

@thetruebarryallen

Arfuna Arfata,

What a wonderful name.

Arfuna Arfata.

Just a passing blaze!

It means lots of worries!

For the rest of your daaaays

It's my problem-filled... Arfosophy!

Arfuna Arfata!

While the constant monologuing was a bit tedious for the taste of Arfuna, he did recognize the importance. He'd travelled a long way to get here, and wasn't going to mess it up for the worse. All these new students here with me seem to be getting along, at least.

By the time Arfuna got his forms, the professors were almost out. He worked quickly, though, to reserve the classes he most wanted.

• Engineering 148: Introduction to Gadgets - This class focuses on how to create and engineer your own gadgets for offensive, defensive, or supportive use.

Was at the absolute top of that list. He'd always wondered how his suit worked, and it seemed like now was a good chance to figure it out, maybe even adapt the technology.

From here, Arfuna was stumped. All of these seem so boring, he thought to himself. He figured he'd improve on something he was likely already the best at.

• Firearms 151: Introductions to Guns - This class focuses on learning and applying firearm skills to combat.

And with that, his classes were set.

He looked at his questionnaire and circled everything he thought was good for him.

Question 2 - What Type Of Hero Are You?

• (B) - I do what needs to be done, no matter the cost. I will make the required sacrifices to save the day, even if that makes me unpopular or feared by both friend and foe.

Question 3 - Tactics

• (D) - Other; please explain.

Shoot 'em till they're dead. It's less analytical than it sounds.

Question 4 - Why Armstrong Academy

• (C) - I don't know, it seemed fun?

Question 5 - What Do You Hope To Accomplish

By the end of the first year, I wish to have furthered my understanding of the thing that keeps me alive, my suit. I may need to make adjustments here and there. Nothing much else to it. Gotta do what you gotta do.

@thetruebarryallen: Barney is like two thousand and odd years old

Question 1 - Class Selection

• History 102: The History of Earth 1 - This class focuses on giving a detailed history of Earth 1, the Prime Earth in the Multiverse and the location of Armstrong Academy, granting knowledge of the heroes and villains that have populated this world.
• Physical Education 101: Improving Your Body - This class focuses on exercising the body to increase it's strength, durability and speed.

Question 2 - What Type Of Hero Are You?

Truth be told I've never really tried it, I wouldn't know.

Question 3 - Tactics

I stick to me instincts. Ye mind knows what to do even if ye don't really know it.

Question 4 - Why Armstrong Academy

• (C) - I don't know, it seemed fun?

Question 5 - What Do You Hope To Accomplish

If you can look back on a time of yer life an you've got a good story to tell then it wasn't wasted. I just want to enjoy it.

@lunacyde:

Al chuckled with a cocky smirk " I like to think I am"

"You have no idea how to play cards" Abe whispered.

"Shut Up" Al said gritting his teeth and saying it low.

@thetruebarryallen:

Well now, of all the placed I could have ended up, I never imagined it would be here... It's funny. At one point in time, getting accepted into Armstrong Academy would have been a dream come true, but compared to Limbo this place seems so... mundane...

In any case, there's no use in brooding about it. Just have to keep moving forward.

Question 1 - Class Selection

I should probably start with biology. If I am to return to Limbo, understanding how my powers function would certainly help. I've gotten pretty good at using it for short distances, but nearly every time I have tried to use it cross universe, it's simply ended in me getting stranded some play bizarre...

What else is on the list?

Performance Enhancers? Really? I wonder if Mom and Pop would have let Jane in this school if they knew it had a course like that. Not much point in taking a beginner's course Martial Arts or Weapons training. Engineering would be nice, but again, the first semester course doesn't seem like it will teach much that I don't already know. While I've never been much of a history buff, I'd imagine that course is mainly for the off-world students. Spell casting... That would certainly be useful. In Limbo magic was something that came naturally to those in tune with the dimension itself; you simply imagine and it happens. Here, things aren't quite so simple.

I suppose it's decided then... I'll be taking:

• Biology 152: Intro to Metahuman Powers - This class focuses on learning about the various powers and abilities that metahuman's possess.
• Magic 160: Beginners Spell Casting - This class focuses on the introduction of magic and the occult, teaching students how to cast beginner level spells.

Question 2 - What Type Of Hero Are You?

• (D) - Other: I am far from some sort of moral paragon or cold pragmatist. Working as a hero seems fun and that's all the reason I need.

Question 3 - Tactics

• (C) - I rely on my powers to help me save the day, I like using them in creative and experimental ways.

Question 4 - Why Armstrong Academy

• (D) - Other: Pure chance. This is where I was summoned back to this world and this is where my sister is enrolled. It also seems to be my best chance at getting back home.

Question 5 - What Do You Hope To Accomplish

Can't say I really have any lofty goals. Not getting murdered by my ex girlfriend would be nice.

@stormshadow_x: Jack's perceptive ears picked up whispers between the two, but he couldn't make them out. He smiled, though he knew Al couldn't see it. "Good, then I won't mind taking your money", he remarked with such glee that Al may have had trouble determining whether he was joking or not. "I'm thinking a little 5 card stud after we get settled in, I'll get some of the others to join."

Jim and the others were given a tour like a bunch of lost sheep. Jim was half paying attention, the other half wanted to be outside, he had often wondered if his sonic scream could be used to fly and his mind drifted off to what flying would be like. At the end of the tour Jim snapped back to reality when he was handed a form

Question 1 - Class Selection

Biology 152: Intro to Metahuman Powers

Physical Education 101: Improving Your Body

Jim chose these 2 classes. I've always wanted to learn more about metahuman powers and different applications of them. Maybe i'll learn all the different ways i can learn to use my sonic scream.

He chose "Improving your Body" because he often liked exercising and working out, it would be an easy class for him.

Question 2 - What Type Of Hero Are You?

(D) - Other; please explain

Jim didn't know exactly what kind of hero he was... or if he even was a hero. Jim started writing "I want to be an example to others, but im not afraid to become what i need to be to protect those i care about." Jim stopped, thought about it for a little bit, and continued with "I'm not afraid to take a life, but it's not something i look forward to either. I will do what must be done to protect innocents, if that means the non innocent must cease breathing... so be it"

Question 3 - Tactics

(D) - Other; please explain.

Jim explained... "I like using my weapons, my coils to restrain or dismember my opponents and set them up for a sonic cry they can't dodge. In theory i could use an Area of Effect sonic cry but if the target is restrained they are that much easier to hit. I combine my skill with my weapons to increase the effectiveness of my power.

Question 4 - Why Armstrong Academy

(C) - I don't know, it seemed fun?

This one was actually easy for Jim, he just wanted to be out and away from his family. If Jim got to learn more about powers or who he is then all the better.

Question 5 - What Do You Hope To Accomplish

Jim paused at this question. It was a valid question and yet he found no easy answer. He put his pen to the paper "I guess i want to be better, better than i am right now. I want to come out of this with experiences to help me once i graduate from Armstrong Academy. I wanna learn more about myself. i never met my father, not my biological father anyways and mom was nice, but it always felt like something was missing. Like i said i want to be better than i am now."

Jim was satisfied with his answers he hoped the headmaster would be equally satisfied.

@stormshadow_x:

“Aww yeah Al mate, bust us in if you’s are up for a game of cards yeah?

@stormshadow_x:OoC - Thanks friend. I changed it just a bit.

In-Character:

Jack did a double-take, then turned back to Al. "You know this leprachaun lookin' guy?" @giliad_ He halfheartedly gestured knowing Al couldn't see him.

@giliad_: @lunacyde:

Al was ready to take Jack up on his offer as a suave looking guy called out his name speaking weird, Abe would later explain its just how he spoke.

Al looked to Jack " I don't think so...?" How about you Abe?"

Abe examined his (@giliad_) face and thought something may have been familiar but he wasn't sure and just moved his head in a no motion.

@giliad_: @stormshadow_x:

"Well it looks like my lucky day, I've always wanted to play cards with a leprachaun". He squinted sneaking a sip from his flask. "You have any whiskey in the jar-o, Mick?

@thetruebarryallen:

Melvin Smith

He barely fit in his bus. At twelve years old, a little over eight feet tall, and just shy of four hundred pounds; he towered over everything. His heightened senses overheard more than a few students questioning whether he was a student, instructor, or possibly an extraplanar monster they may have to battle at some point.

Leaving the bus, even some of the instructors seemed perplexed as to why he was here. Many of them mistaking him for a new professor. He didn't blame them; he had reached his full growth potential at the ripe old age of 10 years old. He purposely took a spot in the front row during orientation. Chuckling lightly to himself as some of the students behind him (who he had heard mocking him on the bus) sneered and commented how they couldn't see anything over him.

The tour was awful. He knew what he wanted, and knew what he was going to take. But each class tempted him to veer off what he deemed to be his favored course of action. The school definitely knew how to appeal to it's students.

When it came time to eat he sat in his corner, and analyzed everyone around him. He would do his best to avoid potential enemies; but was also aware that his natural form may make that course difficult. He sized up his potential opposition, listened to their conversation and, most importantly, tried to think of common interests he could use to build prosperous alliances. For he knew, no matter how great the individual, numbers were often the greatest source of strength.

The First Task - Orientation Form

You've been given your first task, filling out your student orientation form. This form will determine what classes you take and what opportunities may be available to you. The questionnaire will also help determine who you will be matched with for a roommate, so students are encouraged to answer as accurately as possible.

Question 1 - Class Selection

• Engineering 148: Introduction to Gadgets - This class focuses on how to create and engineer your own gadgets for offensive, defensive, or supportive use.
• Magic 160: Beginners Spell Casting - This class focuses on the introduction of magic and the occult, teaching students how to cast beginner level spells.

Question 2 - What Type Of Hero Are You?

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes and from all walks of life. Choose the category that you most connect with.

• (B) - I do what needs to be done, no matter the cost. I will make the required sacrifices to save the day, even if that makes me unpopular or feared by both friend and foe.

Question 3 - Tactics

This question is about how to prefer to operate; are you an upfront brawler or do you prefer sticking to the shadows?

• (D) - Other; please explain.

Tactics is arguably the most intricate, complex, and important part of any situation. One must being with an instantaneous analysis of the situation and decide whether there is even time to proceed with caution or if action is needed immediately. As one charges into a situation, they have to pay attention to everything that is happening. Not just their opponents; but their allies, their environment, and those around them. However, one must always analyze their own needs and safety first and foremost. You can't be a hero or help anyone if you're dead, or left helpless yourself. Which oftentimes is not only a hindrance to yourself; but to your allies, and if your allies are focused on you they can't focus on the needs of the situation (saving civilians, fighting foes, supporting a structure, or whatever).

One cannot be afraid to flee, fight at distance, or fight up close and personal. One also must not be afraid to avoid fighting or charging entirely. Sometimes the most useful person is the one who simply sets up a situation for other, more qualified people to handle things. So the short answer is: all of the above.

Question 4 - Why Armstrong Academy

We'd like to know why you chose to come to our school.

• (D) - Other; please explain.

It was here, the military or incarceration. The latter two seemed like arguably the same choice.

Question 5 - What Do You Hope To Accomplish

I've already been trained to kill with anything and everything. My body is a natural weapon that can kill as easily as any sword or gun without my enhancements or training. But those skills don't necessarily appeal to me. Sure, I'm a demon, a monster, and a fairly intimidating beast; but there is far more to my character.

I've learned the basics of magic, and have a natural gift towards intelligence and engineering. While I do intend to further my combat prowess; I feel I have more to offer as an engineer and a sorcerer than I could ever offer as a soldier, assassin, or vigilante. My level of perception is one that allows me to improve society's quality of life, and easily dismantle any army's most capable juggernauts, destroyers, vehicles, or technology.

Overall, I seek to use my mind to improve myself and others.

Thanks for reading,

"Eh"

McGee paused momentarily as his eyes drifted towards the rough-faced teenager who just spoke. His slightly puzzled look quickly snapped to a welcoming grin as if he was greeting a relatively new friend - not quite as intimate as if he were greeting an old friend rather the type of friend you haven't known long enough to consider close but well enough to have the odd conversation or two - and, with characteristic vigor, and extended his arm in for an arm-wrestle-handshake.

"Ah, Jack lad, how're ye doing mate?"
