Sorry to post-back to myself yet again, but it seems like I am creating things while people are off on holiday or something.
Whateley Academy: Supers, Spellcasters, and Psions, oh my!
Keene, New Hampshire, location of Whateley
Post-Vanishing Whateley Academy pillar near the entrance, with the school motto engraved.
Whateley Academy is a unique school that caters to the less mundanes, both Fiction and Real, that have "mutations", magic, or psionics. It has a (normally) friendly rivalry with fellow Northeast USA super-school Xavier Institute of Higher Learning, a sort of competition to see whose school will get the more famous new-blood Real superhero churned out.
Post-Vanishing Locales: A Brief Tour of Whateley
Kane Hall: Kane Hall is the base of operations for the security team of Whateley, as well as a tower observatory and crime lab dedicated to paranormal-related crime scene investigations. The security of Whateley is certainly...odd...compared to most schools. Their team consists of former members of police forces and soldiers from anything from the SEALs to the SAS, and some weapons used by the "Crisis Team" are up to even some major Heavy Weapons Platforms. Then again, in a school where some students can shrug off an RPG-7 blast, you need all the help you can get...
Laird Hall: This building is the location of the martial arts class dojos and exercise classes. Out back is the athletics field. The athletics areas have some materials definitely designed with the workout needs of Bricks in mind.
Shuster Hall: The major hall, Shuster is also a multi-purpose building. It is the administration building, holds classrooms on the upper levels, and has a large glass dome connected to it that is Crystal Hall, the school cafeteria.
Dunn Hall: Across from Shuster is Dunn, the hall that holds the campus infirmary and bioscience labs. Every new student is tested here to show their power "rankings" and various talents. There are rare cases in which new teachers might be tested there as well.
Beck Hall: This is basically the large library and internet server "parent" for all school computers. Beck Hall is filled with all kinds of books, including stores of arcane lore in a locked administrative area.
Boy's Cottages: Two of the cottages where students dwell are the boy's only cottages, Twain and Emerson, at the Northwest arm of the school complex from the Main Five Buildings. Emerson is the closest to the Main Five, and is the boy's cottage "normal zone", designated as the place for the easily passable as human students.
Girl's Cottages: Whitman and Dickinson are the two girl's cottages on the Northeast arm of the school. Dickinson is the girl wing's "normal zone".
Co-ed Cottages: Finally, there are the co-ed buildings, Melville, Poe, and Hawthorne. Melville cottage is the co-ed "normal zone". Poe is the "weird" cottage, designed for any students who have had major transformations in age, gender, and/or species by their initial powers arising, which has led some outside forces to consider the cottage be closed for segregating by mutation. Finally, Hawthorne is the cottage for individuals with mutations that render them dangerous to themselves and those around them, such as students made of living unstable chemicals and overpowering empaths that can cause intense emotions. The major talk of the school is Team Kimba, residents of Poe Cottage that have taken on more villains than some fully-trained supers have. Their numbers consist of various members in strength and power, some of which will be detailed here.
Service Utilities: Many security terminals of varying sensor powers dot the campus, as well as the flag pole itself having a tube system that will light up a different color depending on if there are visitors in the area. If red, all students that cannot pass for humans are supposed to hide from a potential danger and those that do look human fully hide their powers. If yellow, students with lesser mutations but not completely human may come out, but are best to be covered in case of danger. On a green day, all votes are off...students can fly, super-lift, blast energy, anything. The sewer system under the school needs regular maintainence due to the presence of unnatural creatures living there and the rare break-in chance. Finally, there is a service road around the entire grounds, usually actually used by rollerblade, skateboard, or jogging students since security rarely does anything with it.
The Grove: Right outside of campus is a wilderness area that is home to a local werewolf pack as well as the Grove, an ancient spot of ancient power. Inside all the Forces of Nature are at their fullest, and it is a land of treants, kitsune, tanuki, and fey alike. It is off-limits to all students save for a few select individuals such as members of Team Kimba.
Characters and Creatures
Caitlin Bardue: "Goddaughter" of Gunnery Sergeant Bardue, one of the heads of the heavy weapons range in Whateley, Caitlin is a student at Whateley, as well as a former employee. She was Erik Mahren, leader of the heavy weapons range and former Marine, until her older body "burned out", a ferocious and violent explosion that burned out her body and reformed it into a more metallic configuration. She is a 16-year old girl with eyes that appear to be steel discs inlaid with runes, and her hair is a metallic blue-black..literally, like fiber-optic cable. She is a sort of living metal-girl, and is an artificer. She also has a "little" problem: she must wear wards on her clothing or the light arcane electricity field around her body would increase and be fatal to anything within 15 feet of her.
Hank Declan: Born and raised in a military base, Hank Declan, super code name "Lancer", is the tactician and heavy hitter of Team Kimba. He is Brick-plus, with the typical Brick package of super-strength, near-invulnerability, and heavy hitting, as well as having a good head on his shoulders. He is also the boyfriend of Lily "Wallflower", a Junior Member of the S.T.A.R. League superheroes team.
Jade Sinclair: Another member of Team Kimba, due to odd circumstances, Jade is basically permanently stuck at age 11. She is a Regenerator, heavily regrowing even brain damage like she was never hurt without any adverse side effects, and can create shape-changeable spirits from herself. Her current number of spirit extensions can be up to 5, but there are some teachers that believe she can craft even more. She must "charge" them into some sort of object or a special-made human simulation she calls "Shroud", which the spirits will then animate and utilize.
Chou Lee: Chou is a youthful Chinese girl burdened down by a destiny she never wanted. All her powers come from superior training by her sword, Destiny's Wave, which holds the spirit of an ancient Taoist warrior. By merging with the Tao, Chou can go toe to toe with even the nastiest villains. She does, however, have qualms about the fact that she is expected to sometimes face Evil AND Good to preserve the Balance. She also has the misfortune of being hunted by a Demon Lord.
Faction 3: A secret underground group (in more ways than one), Faction 3 is home to the "freaks" that want to finally have respect amongst the other students and the world despite their odd appearances. The leader of Faction 3 is Jade's boyfriend, the enigmatic half-gold dragon Thuban, an informant and master techie known as a Devisor.
The Outcasts: Irrationally (for the most part) feared due to their looks by the other students, the best friends of Caitlin are the three students known as the Outcasts. Their leader is a boy named Jericho, who is blind but able to telepathically sense 360 degrees around himself and is a Devisor. A student that is listed as an "Ultraviolent" due to his unnatural rages caused by hatred toward his appearance, Razorback appears to be another reptilian, almost like a bipedal humanoid velociraptor with a spine ridge. Finally, there is diamondback, a rattlesnake-like naga. She is a mage as well as a fair melee combatant with her tail and a ranged combatant with her venomous spit like a cobra.
Nichole Reilly: Another Kimba that is codenamed Fey, Nichole "Nikki" Reillyy is the next Faerie Queen of the Sidhe. She is a potent spellcaster as well as a reasonable martial artist. The brilliant and comely elf redhead also has a permanent glamour around herself that has the effect of almost entrancing most males. She is also the unfortunate target of more than one paranormal who wants her power under their control.
Tennyo: Billie "Tennyo" Wilson is a 14-year old girl that is an exact clone of the Tenchi Muyo Fiction Ryoko...really embarrassing when the Fiction is also around places. Tennyo is considered a no-harass case in the school, since she can fly, create swords, is nearly indestructible, and can create a "death strike" that implodes a soul. With her own friends in Team Kimba, Tennyo can be funny, happy-go-lucky, albeit sometimes too high-strung, but in combat she is nearly a different creature, ferocious and untamed against her enemies.
