 B A C K G R O U N D:
B A C K G R O U N D:
Since our inception, humanity has constantly changed. Constantly evolved. Our way of life as humans is forever adapting to all that surrounds us, shaping to keep up with the world. Society changes and along with it so does our culture. Technology is constantly barreling forward as new devices are being designed every hour of every day. But humanity itself is also changing, in ways mostly unseen to the naked eye but under a microscope there's a very different story.

After millennia of Earth being routinely doused in what is known as coronal mass ejections, the side effects are starting to show. The coronal mass ejections or CMEs, are a massive burst of solar wind and magnetic fields being released into space and often directly at Earth. Most often these CMEs also accompany solar flares which release addition energy from the sun into space only for it to collide with Earth. Carried within these events are high energy particles and it is these particles which have began to cause humanity to change and develop new and sometimes unfathomable abilities. Composed primarily of high-energy protons and atomic nuclei, they are of mysterious origin and the limits to their potential remain unknown.

The resulting effect of the high energy particles is an evolution that was first mistaken for a mutation and coined as the condition 'Viriumosis'. As research continued, it was realized that the mutation was not a temporary condition but the start of a new species as the 'Homo-Virium' was not the result of disease but rather was born with their abilities. The genetic difference became known as the 'Hype-Gene' or 'Hype-Factor' and was most common in families with a long spanning ancestry and history. The 'Hype-Gene' was a culminative result of high energy particles stored within the donating parent's chromosomes which resulted in the creation of the 'Hype-Gene' in their offspring. As such, a human born without a 'Hype-Gene' cannot develop Hyperhuman abilities no matter how many high energy particles they absorb throughout their life, however their offspring may be a Hyperhuman. However, whether one parent is a Hyperhuman or both, the child will also turn out as a Hyperhuman and as such the gene isn't exclusively carried within either sex but is a dominant gene within both. Studies are inconclusive whether powers levels are greater or equal within children who have two Hyperhuman parents. Despite that fact that 'Hype-Gene' takes a dominant role during the embryo's development it's practically undetectable until puberty as it lays in a dormant state until puberty. During puberty, the overwhelming release of hormones awakens the dormant 'Hype-Gene' which then begins to develop super-human abilities within the host.

Hyperhuman abilities develop in a wide assortment of powers allowing for various displays of power. While these abilities can be drastically different from one individual to the next, there are notable similarities and overlaps which led to the creation of the Hyperhuman Classification system. This system allows the various abilities displayed by Hyperhumans to be broken down and organized to allow for a quick assessment of abilities and threat level.

As a whole, society is generally wary of Hyperhumans. Made aware of their existence in 1946 in the aftermath of World War II, tensions have remained high as Hyperhumans have fought an uphill battle for acceptance and equal rights to regular humans, otherwise known as Norms. The aftermath of World War II not only brought to the world's attention the horrors committed by Adolf Hitler, but also the experimentation performed on Hyperhumans around the world. These Hyperhumans who for the most part had believed themselves to be one of a kind before the great wars were now aware of the others in the world like them and banded together to make the world aware of their treatment. While the world became aware, they also became paranoid and afraid. Some saw the Hyperhumans as an abomination while others accused them of being aliens masquerading as humans. Laws were passed and mistakes were made as Hyperhumans were forbid from working in the food preparation or medical industry as well as marrying 'Norms.' Lastly, Hyperhumans were outlawed from donating blood, organs or any other bodily substance.

However, despite the enforced laws, many 'Norms' avoid known Hypes as much as possible. Teachers will refuse to instruct Hyperhumans citing 'personal safety issues' along with safety of their entire class. Employers discriminate against Hyperhumans, refusing to hire them and if they do managed to get hired without being outed, upon discovery many Employers will lay off or outright fire the Hyperhuman employees. Though Hyperhumans and Norms can't legally be married, relationships still happen between them despite the disapproval of society. Those who refuse to end the relationships often become the victims of Anti-Hype Protesters and their extremist sects. These extremists seek out and persecute Hypes, beating them within an inch of life if not downright killing them. Protest plague the world's government and Hyperhuman Identification software is sold on street corners and even the Apple App Store. The validity of this software has yet to be seen but people buy it up like it's going out of style.

It's for reasons like the above that enrollment at the Pacific Royal Collegiate and University has only increased since its doors opened. Parents wanting their child to have a fighting chance enlist the help of the Canadian Hyperhuman Equality, Logistics and Protection department. H.E.L.P. as it's commonly referred to as is the forefront in Hyperhuman civil rights and has erected a safe asylum for Hyperhumans seeking a place of both employment and education.

W O R L D   H I S T O R Y:
V I S I T A N T || 2630 - 300 BCE

While the Earth was still young, celestial visitors arrived to observe the primitive civilizations. Landing in the region known as modern Africa, these ‘aliens’ made contact with humanity, their advanced technology and inhuman appearance led their worship as gods. It was through celestial technology that pyramids such as the ones in Egypt and Mesoamerica were constructed. However as the celestials taught humanity, so humanity learned that the celestials were far from gods. Rebelling against the hand that had fed them, humanity sought to become their own masters once again and the celestials were forced to leave. While some technology was left behind, all hard evidence of there having once been alien life on Earth has been lost to the sands of time.

G E N E S I S || 200 BCE - 70 CE

In the beginning there was an Abyss. A dark void that occupied all time and space but then the Light appeared. With the appearance of the Light, a seed was planted within the Abyss, a seed which began to grow and flourish giving birth to a great tree. Within this tree flowed the very essence to life and upon its branches grew many blossoms. Within each blossom there was a universe, filled with numerous worlds. Some branches grew strong, supporting new growth while other branches were stunted, swallowed by the Abyss where they slowly died before breaking off from the tree and disappearing forever.

Our world was born within the middle of several flourishing blossoms. Surrounding by numerous universes filled with life of their own, our universe became known as Midyeden. The intersection at the tip of the branch, Earth was visited by many strange beings as they travelled from universe to universe across the Tree of Life and Death. 

Eventually a mankind would seek the secrets of the Tree as they wondered where these beings they called ‘gods’ came from. Like so many other travellers, eventually a lone Druid found a vein belonging to the great Tree. Allowing their curiosity to get the better of them, the Druid ventured into the vein and found themselves at the center of the Tree of Life and Death. Filled with awe and wonder, they explored the Tree, drinking from its sap and gaining knowledge no man before them had ever known. It was in that moment that they first learned of magical force known as the Vis. Taking a Seed of Life with him, the Druid escaped the Tree and returned to Midyeden. Once home, the Druid planted the Seed and tended to it for the rest of his life. The Seed grew into the mighty White Oak, providing Midyeden with an anchor to Tree of Life and Death allowing magic to flow into the world. With their knowledge from the sap, the Druid instructed his people in how to harness and use the magic from the Tree.

Though the Druid lived many years beyond the expectations of their people, the Tree could not protect them from the sword and they were cut down in their sleep. But death could not hold the Druid as they escaped the Abyss, anchoring their spirit to Midyeden. Even in death the Druid proved to be a teacher and they taught their pupils how they too could escape death. Living as shades and spirits, the Druid and their students continue to pass their knowledge on to those who seek the knowledge of the Tree of Life and Death.

P E R S E C U T I O N || 790 - 1693 CE

During the dawn of the Viking Age, one particular longboat found its way to Ireland. Landing on the Northern coast, the raiders forged their way inland before encountering a group of Draoi. Engaging the Draoi sect in combat, the raiders were driven back by the Draoi’s mastering of the Vis. Returning after dark, the raiders slaughtered the Draoi in their sleep, except for one. Intending to learn the origin the Draoi’s powers the raiders began to torture and interrogate the Draoi. Their attempts ultimately proved futile as the Draoi used the Vis to resist their efforts, simply laughing in their faces and claiming his power came from within.Taking the Draoi’s words literally, the raiders gutted the man, and under instruction from their Godi, drained the blood into several vessels. Using the Draoi’s blood to write, the shaman began to inscribe runes into the ground before filling the letters with the blood. Nothing appeared to happen until the runes suddenly glowed, activating as the Godi spoke the name of each character. It was in this moment the Venari were first born and the feud between Venari and Draoi was created. 

Eventually, the Venari spread beyond the raiders’ crew, making its way into the Germanic forests were a group of knights decided to lay out a code to follow. The Venari were formed under the premise of destroying threats too great for any normal man to face alone and as such the hunt of the Draoi began. Through the years, the Venari were employed by the Spanish Inquisition, the Pope and even Witch Hunters in America. But eventually the world turned on them as well when it seemed the Draoi had been eliminated. The Witch Hunters say no place for magic of any kind and to that end every user of the Vis was hunted down and slaughtered.

C A T A L Y S T || 1967 - 1984 CE

On October 18, 1967, Earth was hit with an immense Coronal Mass Ejection. During a total Lunar Eclipse, the sun emitted a massive interplanetary CME which doused the entire globe with high energy particles causing the largest and brightest occurrence of the aurorae ever recorded. Unfortunately this also brought a geomagnetic storm which ravaged Earth’s electrical transmission lines, causing power outages on a global scale. It was on this day that the Earth nearly stood still, sitting in total darkness for nearly ten minutes before back up systems began to re-activate. Numerous regions around the globe were left in the dark well beyond that. Cities were powerless for nearly a week while some rural areas were forced to survive for nearly a month without power. This event left a death toll numbering in the tens of thousands becoming known as the Dark Eclipse. 

However the aftermath of the Dark Eclipse reached far further than anyone could have ever anticipated. The resulting effect of the high energy particles is a mutation appearing in one person of every million people. While public knowledge of the mutation remains vague, selected sects in the scientific community are aware of it and have dubbed the emergence of the mutation ‘Viriumosis’. In more common jargon, the possession of a mutation is referred to as the ‘Hype-Factor’ or ‘Hype-Gene’. Collectively, these mutants are referred to as ‘Hyperhumans’.

E M E R G E N C E || 1985 - 1999 CE

As the Cold War came to a close, humanity’s attention was turned to a new threat. One that was already in their homes, teaching their children and running their governments. As word of Hyperhumans became public knowledge a perpetual state of fear and paranoia took hold of  the world. Neighbor was turned against neighbor and mother against child as humanity’s pattern of fearing that which they didn’t understand continued. 

Propaganda against Hyperhumans was widespread especially in North America. Laws were passed that prohibited Hyperhumans from positions of authority on suspicion of using their abilities to gain an advantage. Athletes and other competition driven professions were heavily screened. Although there were those who chose to use Hyperhumans to their own advantage and more than one man or woman desperate to make a living allowed themselves to be drawn into the shadier side of things. 

Activism and social conscious was pushed to an all time high during this period as people fought to be treated as equals no matter their colour, sexuality and abilities. Technology took leaps and bounds during this period as Hyperhumans with more subtle abilities were able to integrate into society and excel through their education and in their careers.

V I G I L A N C E || 2000 CE - Present

Due to the emergence of Hyperhumans during the late 80’s, technology advanced at a rapid rate. The majority of Earth’s power is based upon nuclear fusion with coal based energy completely phased out greatly reducing the amount of pollution present in Earth’s atmosphere. Roughly sixty-five percent of power is supplied by nuclear fusion while other clean energy make up the remaining thirty-five percent. Solar power makes up the majority of the secondary energy sources clocking in at twenty-five percent while wind makes up only five percent. The last five percent of energy sources is mixed between nuclear fission, hydroelectric and geothermal power.

Other advances in technology are rather notable among society. As of 2010, three dimensional screens or holographic displays have become commonplace among consumer homes while the self-driving car has been made available to the public market as of 2015. Despite the original fear of Hyperhumans, advances in both law and peace keeping technology has thus far kept any major superpowered crime at bay. Robotic K9 units along with autonomous patrol cars and synthetic officers have become the standard especially among large cities.

 P A C I F I C   R O Y A L   C O L L E G I A T E   &   U N I V E R S I T Y:
P A C I F I C   R O Y A L   C O L L E G I A T E   &   U N I V E R S I T Y:
The Pacific Royal Collegiate And University is a special institute founded in 1986 and is governed by the Bureau of Hyperhuman Equality, Logistics and Protection. The goal of P.R.C.U. is to train young Hyperhumans to control their abilities while working to foster friendly relations between Hyperhumans and the general populous.

Originally a large Victorian High Gothic style mansion built on Dundas Island in British Columbia, Canada. The mansion was built just beyond an old coastal defense fort stationed at Zayas Island that was used during the Great Wars. Buying the mansion from the Canadian Government and coming to an agreement about the use of the surrounding islands, H.E.L.P., then re-purposed the fort into a base for their own use along with another abandoned coastal watchtower situated on the nearby Melville Island. At the same time, the mansion was converted into an academic building. As enrolment increased, H.E.L.P. commissioned the construction of gender-specific dorms. Eventually, the class sizes outgrew the mansion, and the construction of a new academic building was completed. P.R.C.U. continued to grow and expand, adding the University component in 1999. This led to the construction of three new dormitories, one of which was the first co-ed dorm on campus, a risky move but necessary to update to modern times.

Many students choose to live on the campus throughout the year as it is the safest place for any known Hyperhumans. Additionally, many of the students have been abandoned by their parents or are unable to return to their homes out of fear for their own safety. As such, P.R.C.U. employs many Hyperhumans as it constantly seeks out new teachers and advisers for the youth there. Not all the staff are Hyperhumans, however, as those who are accepting of "Hypes" are welcomed inside the campus walls. The campus also shares the island with the bureau's main base, built around the two re-purposed coastal defences. As such, security divisions from the department of Hyperhuman Protection patrol the campus's exterior to ensure that Pacific Royal Collegiate and University's students are safe.

Most students at P.R.C.U. are enrolled in the Hyperhuman Enforcement, Advisory & Training Program or H.E.A.T., as it's commonly referred to. This program is an experimental plan of action run at P.R.C.U. in addition to more traditional educational programs. As opposed to the standard educational process of going through high school, then choosing a university major, the H.E.A.T. program combines a general education complete with a specialty, an introduction to emergency response and basic military training. 

Due to this program's specialized nature, it is overseen exclusively by the Bureau's Training Divison. The goal of H.E.A.T. is to prepare its cadets for commissioning into one of H.E.L.P.'s three divisions; the Department of Enforcement, Logistics Offices or Protection Vision, while also preparing them with a general education degree. This ensures that its candidates have options in all walks of life and have the opportunity for immediate employment that will allow them to use all of their skills and ability. An additional bonus of the H.E.A.T. program is the extra emphasis placed on controlling and using Hyperhuman abilities. While all students get a chance to train with their powers, H.E.A.T. includes daily activities to hone and sharpen these abilities far beyond the standard exercises.

VISION AND VALUES:

VISION:

As the world’s leading institute for Hyperhumans and an advocate for equal freedoms and rights, The Pacific Royal Collegiate and University creates an exceptional learning environment that fosters global citizenship, advances a civil and sustainable society, and supports outstanding research to serve the people of British Columbia, Canada and the world.​

VALUES:
Academic Freedom
The Institute is independent and cherishes and defends free inquiry and scholarly responsibility.​

Advancing and Sharing Knowledge
The Institute supports scholarly pursuits that contribute to knowledge and understanding within and across disciplines and seeks every opportunity to share them broadly.​

Excellence
The Institute, through its students, faculty, staff, and alumni, strives for excellence and educates students to the highest standards.​

Integrity
The Institute acts with integrity, fulfilling promises and ensuring open, respectful relationships.​

Mutual Respect and Equity
The Institute values and respects all members of its communities, each of whom individually and collaboratively contribute to create, strengthen, and enrich our learning environment.

When Pacific Royal Collegiate first opened, it only had 180 students, which led to the original 22 teams, including the infamous Team 1 'Bulltrue' and Team 21 'Blackjack.' As enrolment increased, so too did the number of teams at the school. As of 2014, there are 80 teams of 8 at the school, with each team consisting of 8 members of various ages. When the team system was first started, a team was made up of two seniors, two juniors, two sophomores and two first-year students. Each year upon the graduation of the senior members, they were replaced by incoming freshmen. The addition of University changed this. Now, teams are incredibly variable, ranging from teams consisting of one of every education level to teams made up completely of first-year students. Each team is considered a wild card for this reason, as students are sorted completely by random.

The other purpose of these teams is to give those who want to have more traditional athletics a chance. However, it's rare for a full team of eight to actually want to play the same sport, if any, as such teams can usually band together to field a full football team or any other sport. Due to the school's 'special' nature, the students can't compete with the other Universities or high schools in the area; as such, the Intramural Program was implemented to give the students as much of a full experience as possible.
​
Pacific Royal Collegiate and University employ a fairly strict dress code due to its military founding. Over the years, this dress code has become slightly more modern but is still regarded as strict. Enforced by every instructor on the campus, the dress code goes as follows.

Students are expected to wear their uniform to all classes and from 0800hours to 1600hours without exception from Monday through Friday. Casual clothes are permitted after 1600hours outside of the Academic buildings and on the weekends.
_
Students are to keep their uniforms neat and orderly, wearing a clean uniform every day. As such, each student will have to perform their laundry at least twice a week. Uniforms should be ironed and neatly hung up after washing.
_
Students are to ensure they wear the correct uniform for each appropriate environment. As such, one should not show up to a formal event in their Standard Uniform, nor should one attend class in their Dress Uniform. Casual Attire is not appropriate for any event unless specified in advance.


STANDARD UNIFORM:

The Standard Uniform is to be worn daily, Monday through Friday, from 0800hours to 1600hours. After this time, casual attire is acceptable outside of the Academic Quadrangle and so long as another event has not been specified for that evening. Every student receives three sets of their standard uniform, which includes the following.

A black button-less blazer with Mandarin styled collar. On the shoulder of this blazer are straps that display anywhere from one to four bars. These bards are red for Collegiate students and gold for University students. The number of bars corresponds with your current year; thus, a Freshman has one bar on each shoulder, whereas a Senior has four. The blazer has two small pockets, ad over the left breast displays the P.R.C.U. coat of arms. Students may also opt to have their Team insignia attached to the outside of their right sleeve at the biceps area. For example, Team 21 'Blackjack' often has the Ace/Jack insignia placed on their jackets.

A Mandarin Collared long-sleeved Dress Shirt or Blouse is also included in the Standard Uniform. This shirt is available in four colour varieties, black, white, red or gold. Like the blazer, the shirt is equipped with shoulder straps identical to those on the jacket.

Both genders are a pair of black slacks, while men can opt-out for a kilt instead, whereas women are offered a pleated skirt. Both the skirt and kilt are done in a tartan style of black, red and gold.

Mandatory footwear includes a pair of dress shoes for both genders, with men being given a pair of black leather side gusseted loafers. Females are supplied a pair of black leather flats, while both genders are also given season-appropriate footwear for the winter seasons.

While it is optional except under certain circumstances, the only headwear allowed during 0800hours and 1600hours is the supplied black beret.

A black peacoat is supplied for the winter months, and students can have a thigh-length peacoat or a knee-length version. Peacoats include the school's coat of arms on the left breast and are customized to include the team insignia on either arm.

DRESS UNIFORM:

All students are provided with one Dress Uniform, which is reserved for special events. Among these events are Graduation, Formal, Parades or Ceremonial Displays. It's considered an offence to wear the Dress Uniform outside of these events and lead to discipline.

All students are given a black boat cloak complete with a red interior and gold trim around the edges and collar. This garment is to be worn over the rest of the dress uniform.

A waist-length dress jacket for both genders is included. The jacket is a red colour, with wide black labels and gold trim. The sleeves end in French cuffs, bearing large cufflinks, while the shoulders are adorned with epaulettes, red for Collegiate students and gold for University. Lastly, the right shoulder has a gold Austrian Knot that hangs from it.

A black collared dress shirt and gold cummerbund are also included as part of the dress uniform. The dress shirt has a standard collar and standard cuffs so as not to conflict with those on the jacket. A gold tie or bow tie also generally accompanies this shirt.
Both genders have the option of wearing black dress pants while men are also offered a kilt choice. Women, on the other hand, are offered the alternative of a long skirt. All three garments include gold piping along the side.

Additional accessories include a peaked cap, leather gloves and leather dress shoes. Men are to wear Oxford-style dress shoes while women are encouraged to wear pumps or heels. Heels are, however, discouraged from being over four inches.

CASUAL ATTIRE:

It may be worn anywhere outside of the academic buildings after 1600hours. Casual wear may be permitted at some social events on campus. Aside from these minor restrictions, there are no further limitations on casual wear at Pacific Royal Collegiate and University. Students are free to wear or not wear whatever they wish outside of Academic Periods and other training events.​

For the first couple of years, the school operated solely out of the 1900s era mansion. Originally, the school only offered rudimentary courses to ensure the students had their basic education before providing them placements through allied companies and workplaces. However, as enrolment expanded, additional buildings were commissioned as separate dormitories were constructed and eventually the Academic Quadrangle.

With these new buildings in place, the Mansion was converted into an Administration building and housing for the non-military staff. Currently, the Administration Building interior is fully updated with the latest modern furnishings though styled classically to match the building's exterior.​​

The Academic Quadrangle is suspended above the ground with six floors full of classrooms and learning environments for the students to use. The Quadrangle is built in four long sections set up on a perimeter outside of a large courtyard containing numerous areas to study along with picnic spots and a pond.

The largest building on campus, the four sides of the Quadrangle are broken into specific classrooms with the science labs and technology making up the Northern Wing. The East and West Wings are divided into various Language, History, Law, Social and Liberal Art courses. The Library is also found in the West Wing. Lastly, the South Wing contains the Math and Science classrooms.​

Built overlooking the mansion from the North, the Academic Quadrangle's front side is dedicated to the instruction of technology, communication and the practical application of sciences. Throughout its six floors, all of the institutes' educational programs are supported at every degree of understanding to ensure that each student can find the material approachable.

The technology programs are considered to be rather cutting edge due to the creations of many Hyperhumans allied with H.E.L.P., which are supplied to the Institute and in many cases used by the creator themselves in the classroom. These cutting-edge technologies range from medical to robotics and even some military-grade technology for the students to get hands-on experience with.​

Built along either side of the Quadrangle are the wings containing the Liberal Arts, including but not limited to; English, Theatre, Musical Theory and various Language Courses. These wings contain some of the more popular courses at the institution and can often be found with numerous students chatting in the hallways between classes. Whilst class is in session, nearly every room is filled with students either hurriedly taking down notes, acting out classics or simply slacking in the back, believing that the arts are low to no effort courses.

A school of law is also included in the East Wing, which produces some of the foremost fighters for Hyperhuman Equality. Lastly, a large library is included in the West Wing to provide the students with all the resources they need for their studies.​

While nowhere near as popular as the arts, mathematics and sciences are among the more practical disciplines available at P.R.C.U., especially given that most of the students are 'scientific wonders' themselves. Everything from the most basic to complex calculations and mathematic formulas is imparted into the students' minds.

Figuratively across the hall, biology, physics and chemistry are instructed to the eager and not-so-eager students. Medical sciences are taught in this wing. They are vital as discoveries are constantly being made about the Hyperhuman genetic code and its ever-growing array of varieties.

Originally a Coastal Defence post built during the first World War, when H.E.L.P. took control of the island, they had the facility replaced and repurposed. It would go on to become the primary headquarters for their own Department of Enforcement and Response. With the creation of specialized units such as the Hyperhuman Investigative Tactical Unit or the Hyperhuman Emergency Response Operations, H.E.L.P. decided to expand upon their educational offerings.

Students enrolled at P.R.C.U. have the chance to join the Armed Forces, Canadian or otherwise, upon graduation though most decided to sign up with H.E.L.P. and consequently land roles in either the H.I.T. Unit or as a part of H.E.R.O. Furthermore, the Military Academy is heavily involved in the Hyperhuman Education & Advanced Training Program, which acts as a fast track for students wishing to become H.E.L.P. Agents.​

Constructed as the central point between the dorms, Military Academy and Academic Quadrangle, the Mess Hall is the first stop for many every morning. Consisting of several floors, each with its own unique style and blend of flavours, the Mess Hall caters to every food taste offering local and international selections.

Aside from the interior dining rooms, the Mess Hall has several designated eating areas outside and balconies on each floor. To control traffic flow, teams are grouped and given designated meal times to ensure that everyone has a seat from which to enjoy a meal. These meal times rotate monthly to ensure that each team gets an opportunity to interact. Not only does this ease the process of getting a meal, but it also allows the various teams to build camaraderie with the other teams outside of classes.

Perhaps the most modern building on the P.R.C.U. campus, the Recreational Center is a top-of-the-line fitness building. Several highlights include an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a climbing wall, a full gymnastics studio, and a cutting-edge fitness center. All students must spend at least one mandatory hour each day at the gym to ensure they stay in fit physical condition.

Outside of the Recreational Center lay a couple of basketball courts and a multi-purpose field. This field is used for all sports, but the most popular is Hyperball; a football hybrid sport using powers. Removable bleachers are stored in the back of the Rec Center and are set up for sporting events whether between intramural teams or against the Alexandria Foundation.​

The Collegiate Dorms were built to compensate for the ever-growing flux of students enrolling at Pacific Royal Collegiate during its early years. Erected in a townhouse-style building, the dormitories are contained within one building. Although separated down the middle by a solid wall, on either side of this wall are the gender-specific dorms. 

Built in a mirrored fashion, both sides of the building, are identical and contain four floors, each floor containing one grade, with the freshmen occupying the ground floor while the Seniors habitat the top floor. On the second and fourth floors, are laundry rooms for the students to use, while on the first and third floors are two large common rooms that include a kitchen allowing students to have 'community' meals together. Each room houses two to three students, complete with a bed, desk and closet for each, and community bathrooms are on each floor to ensure that no dorm has to go too far for a shower.

When the Collegiate expanded to include University, the University Age dormitories consist of three separate buildings, unlike the Collegiate dormitory. The dorm layout in these buildings is also notably different, with a dorm consisting of four bedrooms, a shared bathroom, a shared laundry room, a shared kitchen and a living room. The first two buildings are gender-specific, each consisting of two floors of the above layout, while the third building is a Co-Ed facility and is actually larger than the other two dorms, having four floors. Another notable difference is that the University Dorms have a shared patio and outdoor pool for the older students to enjoy and relax upon. The University dorms were designed to replicate an apartment to encourage independence and preparation for life beyond P.R.C.U. without totally sacrificing the dormitory design.​

The Campus is surrounded by a beautiful forest that acts as a natural barrier between the Institute and the rest of the island. In truth, the forest is not entirely natural but instead was created using Hyperhuman abilities to manipulate the native plant life to create the thick bush surrounding the campus. 

There are several trails along the North of the campus along the coastal cliffs that can be used for relaxing walks, and often the students use them for dates. However, the rest of the forest is used for camping trips and wilderness survival training supervised by a H.E.L.P. Agent assigned to the teams involved. These trips are often used at the beginning of each academic year to introduce new students to their fellow teammates and build bonds among the team members.​

Since the school is built on an Island, it's naturally surrounded by water. There are many beaches around Dundas Island. However, the most notable one is just West of the Campus, past the Military Academy. Throughout the summer months, the beach is frequented by many students, especially those who live on the campus full-time. A place of constant fun and relaxation, it's not uncommon to come to the beach to find the students using their abilities to manipulate the area with their abilities to create new aquatic sports and games.​

The Augmented Reality Center or A.R.C. is one of the largest Pacific Royal Collegiate and University campus facilities. A large circular building with approximately a mile radius, the A.R.C. stands close to a hundred feet in height to provide a wide range of simulations. The interior of the A.R.C. appears to be made up of many different panels, and each of these panels is attached to a series of columns that can expand and contract to allow the A.R.C.'s arena to change to all manner of shapes and layouts. Coupled with cutting-edge hard light projection technology, the A.R.C. can replicate and simulate all manner of environments and battlefield simulations.

Participants are needed to wear A.R. Suits, which aid in stimulating the other four senses. A.R. Suits also allow for pain simulation to prepare cadets for battle fully. A.R. suits are designed to act and feel like Hyperhuman Combat Suits; however, they're notably different due to the equipment required to operate with the A.R. Center. These suits are also equipped with glowing LED strips down the suit, customized to display team colours. During stealth activities, this feature can be disabled.

Hell On Earth
~A DC Comics Based RP~
| GM: Lord Wraith | Co-GMs: Roman, BlackSam3091 | Genre: Fandom, Superhuman | Type: Linear |

| PREMISE: |

Where were you the day hope died?

Fifty years ago, the world's supervillains organized themselves and almost over night slaughtered the majority of the Jusitce League and its offshoots. Led by General Zod, Vandal Savage, Lex Luthor and Ra's Al Ghul, the force of Supervillains were nearly unstoppable, finally united for one common goal. Using a hi-jacked Red Tornado, Luthor delivered the first blow as he disabled the Watchtower's environmental systems before sending the orbiting station plummeting to Earth. Despite the best efforts of the League to slow the descent, the damage of the impact was still catesrophic. Those who survived the wreckage were met by a new Amazo who effortless slaughtered the already weakened and injured heroes. Themyscria was next hit as General Zod and his forces descended upon Paradise Island waging war with the Amazons. Team after team of the heroes forces were called in, reserve members, junior members only for each and everyone to be slaughtered as the supervillains exerted a dominance over their foes that had never been seen before. The League of Assassins descended upon Gotham while Wayne Manor was razed to the ground. Not wanting to miss out on the fun, the Joker detonated a dirty bomb reducing Gotham to a smoking crater in a flash of light. 

Metropolis was over run by Intergang, war breaking out in the streets as they moved to take the city. However Metallo had other ideas and tried to take the city as his own leading to his volitile Kryptonite heart being ruptured as the cyborg exploded taking most of the city with him. After a month of fighting, numerous trails of wreckage and most of the known world rendered inhospitable, the supervillains had taken over the world.

Throughout the battle, the world's military became more and more desperate as hero after hero died and city after city fell. Nuclear weapons were unleashed and while they did their job, more than not they just left behind smoking crators. Europe, Russia and Asia were lost to nuclear fallout. Australia was lost to rampant tides after half the moon was destoryed. Most of Canada was lost to a new ice age while the remainder was taken as part of the new world. Africa was set ablaze while South America was sunk below the surface by feuding Atlanteans. In the end, only the former United States of America remained having absorbed both Mexico and the habitable remains of Canada.

In a world without heroes, people live each day trying to get by despite the odds ever against them. But there are some who still cling to the days gone past, the days of superheroes when any second Superman would rise up from the ground and Batman would swing in. It is in these people that hope is reborn and fuels those who are done with being oppressed.

This is the story of those who choose to stand up and fight.

| PLOT: |

Intro- Jailhouse Rock: Having been locked up in the Pandaemonium Prison State under the watch of Blockbuster and his thugs, the heroes must find a way to escape before their sentenced to death or worse... become a meal to the cannabilistic Killer Croc.

Arc 1- T.B.A.

| SETTING: |

With North America being the only habitable continent left, it was divided up among the leading super-villains at the time of their take over. However these former truces have since broken down leading to shifts in power and further destruction leaving the world in a post apocalyptic state. 

1. The Presidium: Of all the territories, the Presidium is the only one that doesn't look touched by war. Over the last fifty years, President Lex Luthor and his Lexbots have spent countless hours rebuilding and upgrading the Presidium. A wealthy state full of higher class living and almost futuristic commodities, as compensation however every man, woman and child is put to use to ensure the territories efficiency. Enforced by Deathstroke and his legion of Deathtroopers, the Presidium is less than democratic and instead mirrors a totalitarian estate. Neither Metropolis or Gotham remains as Luthor had what was left razed to ensure any resistance remanents would be crushed beneath his boot. The Presidium stretches from the remenants of Eastern Ontario and Quebec down through most of the Eastern Coast of the former United States stopping as far west as the border of Ohio and Indiana and as far south as the border of North and South Carolina.

2. Joker Land: A horrific territory where the only law is no laws at all, Joker Land was formed after the Joker escaped Gotham and decided to begin anew. Using his fantical followers, the Joker transformed the South East United States into a nightmarish theme park complete with stretches of rollar coasters covering the entire territory. The neon glow can be seen from any of the surrounding territories as the horrified cries of those unfortunate enough to be trapped echo across the Atlantic. Anarchy reigns in the state of the clown prince of crime and his Harlequins enforce the chaos ensuring everyone gets a chance to have a laugh. With a lack of both resources and workforce, Jokerland makes profit on selling captured victims to Pandaemonium. Outside of the theme park like structures, thousands of make shift shacks dot what was once busy streets.

3. New Kahndaq: A territory originally pleged to Ra's Al Ghul before the remaining League was challenged and destroyed by Black Adam. Now inserting himself as soveign ruler, Black Adam has changed the central territory into New Kahndaq after the loss of his former homeland. Technology is strictly controlled by Black Adam's limited militant forces with whom he has shared some of the secrets to his power, granting them lesser abilities akin to his own. In the last ten year, a great wall was erected around the territory cutting it off from neighbouring Germania, the Presidium, Joker Land and Tower's Fall.

4. Germania: Fomerly the Central West of the United States and the habitable remains of Canada, the area was seized by Vandal Savage after the results of the world fallout. Instituting a hybrid territory that values both knowledge and war time readiness the territory has been transformed into a combination of ancient Athens and Nazi Germany. As such, Savage has employed many of his civilains into a standing army but not without ensuring any of his soldiers are implanted with small explosives at the base of their necks to rule out the thought of any rebellion. Elsewhere scholars work around the clock to rewrite history in favour of its new victors.

5. Tower's Fall: The crash site of the Watchtower after Luthor made it plummet to Earth. Formerly the states of New Mexico and Texas, the Watchtower's impact turned the area into a desert wasteland killing most of the civilians in the area and leveling everything it crushed. What the tower didn't land on was destroyed in the shockwave that escaped the containment of Hal Jordan's ring. Now Tower's Fall is a common area for refugees to inhabit but is more often home to scavengers hoping to find something of worth among the scattered ruins of the Justice League headquarters. 

6. Pandemonium: The territory formerly known as Mexico has come under the domain of the criminal Blockbuster who has transformed the former country into a prison state. Any resistance fighters or discovered metahumans are immediately captured and sent to Pandaemonium where the fight is broken out of them among the many work camps which create and refine the resources employed by the other territories. Life in Pandaemonium is literally compared to hell as Blockbuster employs Bane and Amygdala as his chief wardens. Any prisoner that can't be broken is given to Killer Croc who ensures they are silenced.

7. Gorilla Coast: Using Kryptonian Terraforming technology that Zod intended to use to transform the West Coast into New Kandor, Gorilla Grodd has instead made it into a new jungle habitat and restored most of the former hidden Gorilla City. Many of the humans who had survived the fallout were rounded up by Grodd and his forces, subjected to inhumane experimentation as they were transformed into primates themselves in an attempt to increase his population. They hybrids were forced to breed with the remenants of Gorilla City, giving life to a new population of apes as Grodd rebuilt the cloaking technology to keep his new people safe.

8. Utopia: During the war, the lost city of Atlantis was lost due to interfighting between the half brothers Orin and Orm. When Orm, the Ocean Master killed Orin it was too late to save Atlantis. Together with Black Manta and the forces of the Trench, the underwater army destroyed the land beneath South America, sinking it beneath the surface and claiming it as their own.

9. The Wasteland: From the Northern hemisphere down to mid Ontario was frozen over in a New Ice age after a weapon created by Icicle, Mr. Freeze and Captain Cold back fired. The result lead to a new ace age washing over most of Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Russia and parts of Asia. Unable to survive in the harsh new climate, Cold eventually perished while Icicle and Freeze became sole masters of the large territory. 

10. The Dead Lands: The remenants of Europe, Russia and Asia after the Nuclear Fallout became none as the Dead Lands. Little is known about what's out there or if anything has survived the catasrophe.

11. The Drowned: Unlike South America which was taken for the remaning Atlanteans, Australia and the rest of Oceania was sunk beneath the surface due to rampant tides caused after the Lunar Battle which destroyed half the moon. As such the world's tides have never been the same making coastal regions all over highly dangerous.

12. Sodom and Gamorah: After Africa had been razed, it became known as Sodom and Gamorah. Rumors say fires still burn across the Savanna and any hope of new life has long since beene extinguished by the flames. 

13. Paradise Lost: The ruins of Themyscria Island. Irradiated with Kryptonite, very few structures remain standing and even less life. The ground is littered with the skeletons of both Kryptonians and Amazons alike.

| NOTABLE VILLAINS: |

Lex Luthor: Having infiltrated the Justice League, Lex Luthor broke them from inside using hi-jacking Red Tornados new body using technology from Amazo to kill numerous Leaguers. Those who survived were killed when the tower fell to Earth, decimating most the Southern United States upon impact. Now Luthor resides over a territory North Eastern United States calling himself the President. Lex continues to survive due to having refined the formula from the Lazarus Pit.

The Joker: Claiming himself Emperor over the South East United States, the Joker built himself a world of 'fun'. With Harley Quinn's death, Joker gained a harem of Harlequins. Reluctantly he has allowed Deathstroke's Deathtroopers to patrol his Joker Land although they occaisionally suffer a few losses due to too much fun.

Black Adam: The ruler of New Kahndaq, Black Adam finally extinguished the life of the wizard Shazam and his pet Captain Marvel. Turning his eyes on gaining himself a kingdom after the villains took over, Black Adam killed Ra's Al Ghul and finished off the remaining assassins before seizing the former Assassin Master's territory as his own. 

Vandal Savage: The reigning fruer of Germania, Vandal Savage has built himself a facist nation enforced by a standing military. Ever immortal, Vandal Savage has dedicated his life to knowledge although it is suspected he is building his forces to march on New Kahndaq. 

Gorilla Grodd: Having lost Gorilla City, Grodd took possession of the territory sworn to General Zod using the fallen Kryptonian's own technology to transform the West Coast into a new jungle for his people. Having lost a good number of gorillas, Grodd has been perfecting technology that corrupts a human's DNA to transform them into a more primate state.

Blockbuster: A former gang leader from Bludhaven. Blockbuster was put in charge of the prison state of Pandaemonium by Luthor who supplied the gang leader with the formula derived from the Lazarus Pit. Blockbuster employs the services of Bane, Amygdala and Killer Croc to enforce his prison. Occaisionally Deathtroopers are employed to patrol the border.

Deathstroke: Deathstroke's elite police miltary force that patrols the Praesidium and Joker Land. Made up of mercenaris and former assassins, each members was injected with a chemical cocktail containing Kandorian DNA from General Zod's deceased foces as well as Venom. As a result, they're nearly unstoppable in combat resulting in nearly no resistance from those who live under their boots. Though Deathstroke's forces are primarily employed by Lex Luthor, the mercenary is still willing to work for a higher bidder.

| DECEASED VILLAINS: |

General Zod: Lead the attacks against the Island of Themyscria, the Amazons proved to be a challenge for the Kandorians but ultimately fell as their island was razed. In the heat of the final battle, Zod and his forces were betrayed by Luthor who bombarded the Island with Kryptonite payloads vowing to never allow an alien domain over Earth. The dead Kandorians and Amazons were then used to create a Super Soldier Serum that was given to Deathstroke's forces.

Ra's Al Ghul: After helping the villains take over the world, the Leader of the League of Assassins was confronted by Black Adam who defeated him and his assassins, beheading the Demon's Head with his own blade.

| RULES: |
01. Respect the Game Masters. The GM's words are to be adhered, don't argue or disregard them unnecessarily. If a GM asks you to stop doing something please do it. Likewise if a GM asks you to change something in your post please do it. Failure to adhere to any GM or Moderator requests will result in expulsion from the game.

02. My Co-GMs Roman and BlackSam3091 have the right to veto any of my decisions if I accept a sheet and they later see a flaw. This veto has a 24hr window to expire in fairness to the owner of the sheet. As such, all acceptances will be tentative for 24hrs.

03. Respect the other players. Constructive criticism is fine, but flaming or trying to run players off just because you don't like the way they do things is not okay. Remember, it's the GM's job, not yours, to point out if there's a problem. If you feel that there is a problem, then contact a GM directly.

04.  Likewise any quarrels will be dealt with by the GMs. Don't take them out in the OOC, arguments should be dealt with between the two parties through private messaging. If the involved parties truly can't solve their issues a GM can act as an arbiter upon request.

05. No GIF Wars. This is a thread for discussion of the roleplay, its characters and plots. This is not a Spam Thread. Chat is allowed and encouraged but within reason, please try not to fill the OOC with numerous pages that have little to nothing to do with the roleplay itself. An active OOC generally means an active roleplay so feel free to chat up your fellow players about characters and events in the RP.

06.  Character sheets will not be accepted until the GMs have had time to look over the CS thoroughly. This not only ensures that we the GMs have time to read through Character Sheets appropriately but also that you the Player are receiving proper critique as well as a solid community to interact with in the In Character Threads. We appreciate your patience with this.

07.  All Character Sheets must be submitted to the GMs in the provided or similarly laid out format. Character Sheets which do not use an organized skeleton will be rejected and asked to comply with a standard. Displays of impatience towards acceptance will result in an immediate denial. The GMs have lives outside of RPG and may have their time restricted during the week and/or weekend. Have patience and a positive attitude and you will receive a response.

08. Character Sheets are to be posted in the OOC Thread for review and once accepted posted in the Character Thread. At the end of your sheet, please write your favourite beverage. Failure to comply with these rules will delay your acceptance as you obviously did not read through the rules and therefore can not be trusted to adhere to those laid out for the OOC and IC threads.

09. All characters will be starting in the Pandaemonium Prison State, imprisoned at the starte of the RP. Players who join later in the run will be introduced at earliest convience in a location determined by the current arc. (IE. Characters introduced in Arc 1 will be introduced in Tower's Fall.)

10. While I do encourage diversity among player characters they are not allowed to be members of any Lantern Corps, nor can they be Atlanteans, Amazons, Aliens or Alternate Universe Characters. Characters should be either human, metahuman or homo-magi (See Zatanna).

11. Furthermore, characters are not allowed to own any items previously owned by superheroes or villains. Any items formerly owned by superheroes were either likely destroyed or rounded up by the villains as trophies. But fret not potential player, I will be introducing 'legendary' items for the team to gain. 

12. Gotham is gone, there is nothing left. Please don't ask about it.

13. Writing expectations for this roleplay are at least a two (2) paragraph minimum per post. Three (3) to five (5) paragraph posts however would be awesome so long as you're not simply chewing the scenery. Proper spelling and grammar is also expected but small mistakes here and there are understandable. Blatant offenses will be called out.

14. You are your character, so act like them. Create or portray their mannerisms, powers, and ideals to how they have been established in the game. BE the character, not just yourself with the character's powers. The notes section of your CS has been provided for such a reason, use it to help yourself remain consistent in character portrayals.

15. You are encouraged to post at least once per week. If there are any outside factors as to why you aren't able to post, please let the GMs know. If you find yourself in a plot with another player and they disappear, do your best to move on without them and quickly finish the arc to the best of your ability, or ask for the help of a GM. If you stop posting for two (2) weeks without a message in the OOC, your character will be listed as 'inactive', and after a further week of inactivity, your characters will be expelled, and dealt with as necessary in the IC, whether killed or used as needed and then discarded. Please if you know you’re going to be absent or simply have lost interest in the RP, just let the GM know. 

16.  No God-Modding or metagaming. This refers to controlling or manipulating another player's character in way that is completely self-beneficial and not pre-approved by the other player. This also includes being untouchable against NPC characters as well as being all knowing. Keep your character humanized or risk being expelled from the RP.

17. PC's are not to be killed without permission. Nameless NPC's are fine, but PC's or important NPC's will require authorization by their creator. 

18. This is a Character Driven RP, and as such you are encouraged and expected to take charge of your character's sub-plots and storylines. That said, there will be a heavy emphasis on collaborative activities and team building as well. The GMs will be leading the RP in the traditional sense with a driving plot and will ensure the RP keeps moving however we do want to see you develop your characters and produce your own plots. However we don't want to see you lock your character out of interaction and focus solely on your character and their 'world'. No one enjoys watching you play with yourself, it's always better to let someone else join in on the fun.

19. Absolutely no 'OOC' chatter in the In Character Thread. If you have a question or anything to explain there is an Out Of Character Thread provided. You have no excuse to make an 'OOC' comment in the IC and if done it will be heavily frowned upon.

20. Rule 20 is a lie, my OCD necessitated an even number of rules.

SEXUAL CONDUCT:

I realize that relationships may be part of this RP. While I have no problem with this I do want it kept a specific way to avoid breaking any rules. As part of RPG's rule, mature content is forbidden on the forums. You may however use the standard fade-to-black technique if you desire and that will be fine, just keep it PG-13/14A (May contain: violence, coarse language and/or sexually suggestive scenes.) both leading and following up. I implore you to keep within the age restrictions set up already by administration. As such, let’s keep it simple, ages 14-17 can have relationships with each other and likewise for 18-22. Obviously there's some grey area in there and I'd understand 16-18 should also be a range but please just use your common sense if you're going to seek a relationship within the RP. You have been warned of my expectations on this matter and should you fail to follow through you will be asked to leave the roleplay and reported for breaking site rules.

COMMITMENT AND CONSISTENCY:

If you join this RP, if you take the time to submit an application, I'm putting my faith in you that you'll be committed to it and that the character you play will be consistent with the one in the agreed upon CS. Personally, I have a hard time with this sometimes and I understand that things just happen. That said I’m referring to suddenly giving a character new powers with no explanation or completely changing their backstory in order to add new skills. I’m okay with changes but I’d like a heads-up first so perhaps we can work a more natural way towards these things happening. In terms of commitment, dropping out of the RP randomly for whatever reason is a pain or a GM. Simply put, it wastes my time along with the other players. If you do not think you can join and you're sure something will come up, do not join. Tendency to not care about an RP after a while? Don't join. Simple as that. I will work with you when it comes to bumps in the road. If you think you're going to be out for a couple of days, that's fine. I'll find a way to excuse you from the story or play your character. However, please let the group known as far in advance as possible. If you're going on a trip, tell me something. Do not leave me wondering where you are. Let me know so I can keep things going. I will work around you if you work with me when you can.

| Name: |
Tucker 'Tuck' Taylor Napier

| Alias: |
None at the present, looking to pick one up in the IC.

| Age: |
21

| Appearance: |
Tucker has the appearance of a young man who has lived a hard life. Standing about 5'-11" and coming in at a weight of approximately 180lbs, he possesses a lean but toned body from years of physical labour in the pits of Pandaemonium. Numerous scars line his back and torso from beatings and whips alike from both the wardens and other prisoners. Dirty blonde hair adorns the top of Tucker's head, although he keeps it shaved while a rough five o'clock shadows clings to to his face. His body is often dirt stained and dirty bandages are wrapped around his hands and wrists. A tattered tank top hangs loosely from his shoulder while torn pants are held in place by a belt of scrap fabric which hangs to his knees. Tucker's feet are calloused and bare, not having shoes since before he was imprisoned five years ago. Often he has a makeshift hooded poncho he wears while working in the windy desert.

| Abilities/Skills: |
Tucker possesses the ability to manipulate and shape fibrous and textile materials otherwise recognized as cloth. This most notably includes those materials made out of fiber plants such as cotton, plastics such as polyester, or animal skin and hair such as wool, and other forms of threaded fiber. Although not particularly skilled with his abilities, Tucker will have numerous applications upon further developing his abilities. These applications can include shaping, compressing, liquefying or otherwise manipulating the various aspects of a fabric. This can extend to the hardness and even sharpness of a material. 

Once this portion of Tucker's abilities has been mastered, he will be able to create constructs out of fabric including weapons and armor. This can also extend to other defensive constructs as well including cocoons or even walls to defend teammates. Further mastering would even allow Tucker to fly either by using his abilities to create a flying carpet or manipulate a cape to glide or even fly by animating it like wings. It should be noted that a rope falls under the jurisdiction of Tucker's abilities and can be used as an efficient weapon.

At full mastery of his abilities, Tucker may even be able to create cloth and other fabrics allowing him to instantly repair his clothing or create layers in order to enhance durability. Furthermore, Tucker will be able to transform his body into cloth allowing him to seemingly disappear in front of a foe or conceal himself as an ally or foe's garment. Numerous techniques and tactics will become open to Tucker as he advances in strength and confidence with his abilities.

It's great to be here.

| Name: |
Enrique Isaiah Esteban Alonso

| Alias: |
The Ghost of The Batman

| Age: |
25

| Appearance: |

Enrique has characteristically dark, curly hair and peach toned skin. He has a thin face that comes to a pointed chin. His brown eyes are small, seeming to take up no space at all. Right beneath them are his high cheekbones, just above his pointed nose, shaped like an arrowhead. In general he wears white T-shirts and khaki pants.

| Abilities/Skills: |
Enrique is very strong and physically fit. He is also agile and quick on his feet. These come from needing them to survive. With a choice between fight or flight, he will usually choose flight. Living in the dangerous superprison, he has learned to run away very effectively, climbing gates and ignoring deterrents like barbed wire. In time, these skills could be reversed to make him effective at pursuit on foot as well as combat. But at the moment, he is a clumsy fighter, which adds to the vicious cycle of growing more skilled at escape.

He has a very gifted intelligence and great degree of creativity, which are both often underestimated because of racial prejudice. He has a superb attention to detail which he's used to set up several elaborate shows, pretending to be the spirit of the long dead Batman through use of rigged microphones and recordings, preset traps, and smoke pellets. He has no general supplies besides regular tools (Utility Knife, Screwdrivers, Wire Strippers, etc.). Additionally, he's used dummies and disguised mannequins to present a warped version of the Batman's silhouette.

| Backstory: |
Enrique Isaiah Esteban Alonso was the son of Miguel Esteban Cortez & Maria Alonso Guerrero, a Mexican couple who'd illegally immigrated to the United States in the first place. Unlike anyone seeking a better life, they'd come seeking fantastic amounts of money through dealings with drug traffickers. They went as far as Louisiana before the world changed forever. His parents ended up working in Jokerland, becoming only shells of their former selves. Thirteen years into the new world they had a daughter named Maria. Twelve years later they were surprised to have a son, Enrique.

Seven years after Enrique was born, his sister was beaten savagely and sold to Pandemonium for reasons unshared. This left a deep emotional scar on Enrique, who felt hopeless and lonely. For years he had a fear of the Joker, before it festered into hatred. He was made braver when one of his friends told him a story.

All throughout the shantytowns of Jokerland, legends of The Batman, a mysterious beast who'd always defeated the Joker were whispered in private. Enrique knew next to nothing of the Batman, but he found something spectacular. When his parents visited Towers Fall, taking him along, he found something in the dirt. It was a batarang. Rusty, bent, and completely misshapen. But it was proof to Enrique that hope still existed.

When they returned to Louisiana, Enrique was a new person. He set up several points around his region, using old car stereos and an old mp3 player to create an audible illusion that they were surrounded by an unreasonably fast observer. He'd stenciled out several batarangs and thrown them. He even set a few explosions with gasoline and lighters connected to strings. With some effort, and the proper setting, he convinced the local that the Southern tip of Jokerland was haunted by The Ghost of Batman.

He did not do this often or on the spot. He'd always ambushed Harlequins or set a scene to play out while he was hiding. They were small scale enough to avoid scrutiny, but public enough to make a splash. He'd often chosen to interrupt beatings, abuse of authority, or other instances of injustice.

Realizing that he could make a difference, he overestimated himself and openly insulted The Joker before being beaten and shipped to Pandemonium. But, in the time since he's been imprisoned, nine years, he's been trying to find his sister by networking. Given the setting, he's been laying low, while still occasionally performing and creating the illusion of The Bat's Ghost. Despite his showmanship, his job is blue collar as can be, making bricks.

| Sample Post: |
Fifty years ago in Northern Mexico, one particular water fountain had been refreshing to the people. A two foot tall ceramic wall wound around a pristine pool filled with countless coins that glittered beneath the water's surface. In it's center a beautiful carving of a marble mermaid smiled at passersby.

Fifty years later the temperature was twice as hot as it had been previously. The mermaid had been disfigured long ago. Instead of water, the fountain spat flaming oil skyward, sometimes a stray wind would carry it to an unsuspecting laborer while anyone who helped him was forced to share in his suffering.

Just outside the fountain, a taskmaster was howling at his workers to convince them to carry on in their work, making bricks out of mud. The fountain's heat was used to cook the bricks, hardening them. This was where Enrique worked every day.

"Alonso, time could shape the bricks faster than you," the overseer prodded. "I'd say these bricks must take a year, because you're weak!"

"Yes sir," he said, dragging his fingers down the sides of the nearest square of mud. He picked it up and rushed it over to the outdoor 'oven' before kicking his previous blocks away with the bottom of his shoe. When he got back, he set them to cool on a rack, picking them up using a glove shared with other workers.

While by the rack, he stole an extra moment to lay a red and black wire beneath the bricks and away from the heat. Slowly but surely, he'd been piecing together a surround sound system surrounding his workplace.

| Notes: |
Despite the impersonation of Batman's ghost, I don't mean for this character to be an outright Bat-like, at least in the usual sense. I don't intend for him to dress up as The Bat anytime soon, but I figured that something like this could probably happen without being a problem. In a very direct sense, he could be useful to the party for distractions.

I'm an A&W Root Beer guzzler who prefers that brand over virtually all other sodas.

Bio

Name:
Jackdaw Missouri. He goes by 'Jack', however. Shorter.

Alias:
N/A

Age:
21

Appearance:
Jack's appearance has obviously been tailored from his rough lifestyle growing up, like most young men these days. A calloused and tough-fleshed person, Jack has light, chocolate-brown skin, obviously showing of his African-American descent and heritage. His eyes are a dark gray, with an obvious golden-amber hue amongst the middle of both eyebrows, circulating the iris; a natural, genetic mutation, he had thought at first. Something that stands out on his otherwise chiseled, defined face, is the multitude of sharp, livid-red scars dotting along the flesh. One such scar, long and jagged, goes down his left eye, while a smaller, yet no-less shallower scar dips along his fore-head, skirting over his left eyebrow, effectively creating an 'X'-like scar on the young man's visage. Jack's physique, much like his appearance has been defined by his lifestyle; muscular, yet defined and lean, giving him the build of a tough, strong, and fast man, body built from sprinting long distances with heavy loads, lifting heavy items, and rough-housing and fighting every day/other day. 

His hair is short and black, matching his eyebrows, as in most cases. The young man's clothing tends to change with the day, but his 'main' outfit, constantly washed and dried out, is a tough, durable, leather brown jacket, unzipped, whilst the collar itself is buttoned around his neck. It's weathered, yet practical, obviously having seen better days. Similarly tough, weathered, and lightly faded-along-the-bottom dark jeans completes his lower body, the right pants-leg tucked into the metal-sewn combat boot. Underneath the jacket, he wears a non-descript black shirt, with dark green, padded, fingerless gloves completing the ensemble. Multiple high-caliber bullets were strapped to various strategic points on his clothing - a necessity for his high-powered revolver, which didn't hold magazines. However, it was all taken away when he was 'arrested'.

Abilities/Skills:
Jack's abilities are more that of a natural Meta-Human, rather than anything honestly 'funky', or 'crazy'. The group he traveled with - effectively called his 'family' - has always said that it made him seem like somewhat of an eagle, but Jack doesn't really care. Basically, his strength, speed, durability, agility, and the likes are all enhanced to a level superior to that of a human.  

However, one of his most defining traits is his unnatural reflexes, precision, accuracy, and hand-to-eye coordination. These qualities are supernatural, even to Meta-Human standards. He can hit a fly's wind from miles away, with a sling-shot and a small pebble...trust me, he's done it before. Due to this, his accuracy with any sort of fire-arm/ranged weapon is just...good. It's perfect. A downfall to his powers would most-likely be motion sickness; although his immune system is on-point, he can get sick easily whenever there isn't a sense of gravity around him; basically, levitation isn't his thing, and neither is space-travel, or floating around in a plane. If he's moving at a fast speed through the air, it isn't bad. Just...weightlessness hates him, and he hates it.

Backstory:
Jack's history isn't the most tragic, leading up to the present...but it is definitely filled with different hardships and trials. His original parents...well, naturally, he assumes that they were the classic biker and harlot couple, that had promptly left his butt in some rubble, back at Tower's Fall. The memories are hazy at best, but according to his real mother, they had found his starving body sun-baked to a slab of glass-shredded concrete, about half-way to death. They had taken care of him, nursing his small, child body back to health, good enough to let his Meta-Human factor heal the rest of the injuries and neglect over the course of the next few months. 

They were the Talon Company, an infamous Mercenary company, former Deathtroopers of Presidium, and now a tight-knit, small group that traveled the world, doing often dirty and gruesome deeds for a hefty sum. Due to their lack of allegiance and general mystery, and their lack of Meta-Human prowess, the Talon Company wasn't hunted down by any of the new countries, seeing as their work was efficient, swift, and direct; taking out the Talon Company wasn't something you just did on a passing fancy; they were useful. 

The two people whom had noticed him first, and officially raised him on the dusty trail, was Cassie Missouri and Reggie Missouri, the two Leaders of the Talon Company, and his new mother and father. Life growing up on the road was tough, and his parents, and the Company, expected much out of him - especially when they discovered the true power of his Meta-Human physiology. Despite hesitation amongst the women, the men trained him in the arts of stealth, close-combat, and especially fire-arms, as early as the age of 4, and due to his photographic mind and supernatural body, he rolled with the punches, becoming a skilled Talon Company Mercenary at the age of 12, where he began taking contracts with the rest of the men and women.

 Years passed, with Jack over-all staying off the grid as a mercenary...and then, it was swift, it was bloody, and it was pure traumatizing. At the age of 20, one day before his birthday, they were taken out. Apparently, his father, Reggie, hadn't fulfilled a contract fully, for Vandal Savage - that is, taking out some rebellious forces heading Northwards towards Germania. He wanted Reggie and the Company to do it due to the lack of political and physical backlash it would cause Germania...but Reggie wasn't happy with the money. The contract, albeit promised, wasn't fulfilled.

The Company was swamped by Germanian forces, and taken out.

Only Jack survived, after fighting with everything he had. Without preparation, time, stealth, companions, and night-time to his advantage, he had no chance to take out the forces. In the end, he was shackled and captured.

When he awoke, he was in prison. How did he end up under Blockbuster's charge? He didn't know. Maybe a trade had happened whilst he was out? Regardless...he wanted revenge for his family's death. He wanted; no, needed to get out of this prison.

A bullet would enter Vandal's skull, and he would pull the trigger.

| Name: |
No Birth Name

| Alias: |
The Sloth/Sloth

| Age: |
Physically mid-20s, Actually 3

| Appearance: |

Sloth is a strange, somewhat intimidating creature that exists as a testament to the horrid experiments that go on when lawlessness reigns. His body is covered in thick fur, beneath which there are many scars from "tests" and torture. 
| Abilities/Skills: |
Sloth is a meta, with enhanced strength and dexterity. He has the capability to maneuver his feet as he does his hands, and is very skilled in close combat, using a very barbaric form of wrestling.

| Backstory: |
Sloth was "born" in a dark, secluded lab in the Presidium. One of many experiments of the mad Doctor Michael Grant, he was intended to be part of a mutant human-animal hybrid army with which Grant would stake his claim. Perhaps unfortunately, Lex Luthor caught wind of Grant's plan, and his punishment was swift and brutal: Grant was killed violently, and most of the experiments were destroyed. Sloth, however, being infantile at the time, did manage to escape.

From there, Sloth spent most of his very short life wandering the land, constantly in fear of being killed on a whim. For a short while, Sloth found an almost happiness in the jungles of the Gorilla Coast, where he fit in for the most part, and was able to survive on his own. Unfortunately, this was not to last, as he was found and chased out under threat of death, forced to wander once more.

Eventually, Sloth made it to the border of the former country of Mexico. Almost immediately, he was captured and forced into the camps of Pandemonium, too simple to understand what was happening to him anymore. Now he remains there, waiting either to escape, or to die.

| Sample Post: |
A loud moan came from the dark, windowless cell. By now, most of the guards had learned to ignore it. A few cruel bastards still took the chance to go in... 

Nightshift was new to the job, but he was already making a name for himself. Cruel, strong, and skilled with a gun? Yes, even the big man himself could see that Nightshift was upper management material, which is why he was so infuriated that he had been assigned to guard duty in this middle of nowhere hellhole. Worse, that fucking beast in Cell-5 wouldn't stop SCREECHING... A smile crept over his face. He was going to enjoy this.

Opening the cell quickly, Nightshift walked in to see the disgusting sloth-creature curled up on the floor, still wailing that horrible wail. Shutting that dumb animal up would be easier than... he... thought? The wailing stopped. Had it heard him? Maybe it was just fear. Nightshift did think of himself as a very scary guy... He smirked some more, and turned around to leave the cell, his blood lust delayed for another day... When he heard the last wail he'd ever hear.
---
Sloth was glad they weren't putting him back in the cell, but he was confused. "Barbaric"? "Savage"? The words the strange suited men were using to talk about him were big and confusing. Was it about that mean guard-man he had put to sleep? The one with all the red juice inside? Sloth was frightened. He had never hurt one of the mean guard-men before, so maybe they would go easy on him?

Deep inside, he knew they wouldn't.

| Name: |
James, Jaredson
| Alias: |
Wrath
| Age: |
21
| Appearance: |
As it is he is two forms trapped in one, a fiery butterfly trapped in an earthly cocoon. Tall for his age and well built, his skin is constantly the red of someone freshly sunburnt and his hair is black and long like a Native American which match his eyes of blotted out jet. He wears scavenged firemans clothing in any city for its fire resistance and durability, seeming to be fit enough to bear the weight with ease. With such scavenging often comes a fireman's ax or bill hook to defend himself with.

| Abilities/Skills: |
Lets call homo-magi just for ease and call him a pyromancer for effect.
In truth he is decended from Trigon, but his blood is so thin over the decades to be laughable in comparison. All he is left with is a temper and an infernal heritage.
He can read from scrolls or cast ritualistic spells with time, knowledge and concentration. Sadly he lacks time,  knowledge and concentration. His main power is his pyrokinesis/pyromancy which grows in strength with his temper, the one thing he has in spades. Where his father was the incarnation of wrath, a physically invulnerable and magically super-strong opponent. he is not, he is at the peak of the human condition but still highly mortal except for his invulnerability to heat. He has never tested the highest limits such as jet engines or lava, but it is sufficient for him to not fear his own power to hurt himself.

| Backstory: |
(Who are you? Where did you come from and how did you get thrown in prison.)

| Sample Post: |
"In you go, hot head."

"You really think thats creative?"

"No, the fact you are in a paper-mache' box over a pit of liquid nitrogen is pretty creative though."

This left James to stare a the floor in wonder and fear if such a thing was true or a mere ruse for compliancy, he couldn't afford to test the theory, yet.

Name:  William Dagger

Alias: "The Last Detective"

Age: Forty-five years old

Appearance: William Dagger is a six-foot talk caucasian male. Small, almost unnoticeable scars make up most of his completion. Has black colored hair, and stays moderately groomed and well shaven. Wears his father's old grey GCPD Detective Uniform with a grey fedora, giving him an almost film noir appearance.

Abilities/Skills: 

- High Level of intelligence and Investigation Skill: Growing up, William was always a bright child and was home-schooled by his mother and father. Always inquisitive, William had a knack for problem solving and investigation. Studied available texts on criminal psychology from the local library, but had trouble in more advanced subjects involving deep levels of science or mathematics.
- Tactician: William is always ready for a fight, prepping for any and all situations and lays coming up with back-up plans and finding escape routes. Many would find his compulsion a mental sickness, but to those who have lied close to him find that he is your go-to guy.
- Expert Combatant: Having trained under regulatory SWAT protocol and basic military training since the age of nine, William is a deadly hand to hand fighter and capable gunslinger, even to some metahumans.

Backstory: William Dagger was born in a small town in Virginia, five years after the events leading to the eventual takeover of the United States by several super-villains. His father, a former detective and SWAT officer in Gotham City, joined the Army as a commanding officer at Fort Brutus just outside of the small country town years before. When everything came to an end, Fort Brutus placed marshal law over the small town and closed it off from the outside for sometime. 

William's childhood was cut short at the age of nine when the gang known as "The Jokerz" began terrorizing the citizens still living near the fort. Young William was trained to protect himself and others, and found that he was mystified with the ideals of being a detective like Batman, The Question, and at one time his father. To protect and serve, but able to really make a difference and hopefully find the true source of evil and destroy it at it's core.

At the age of twenty, after years of painstaking training and coming into his own, William's mother was killed by The Jokerz. The manic gang had planted Joker Gas bombs all over town, and set them off just for the giggles. William's father was gunned down by even more Jokerz years later, who raided Fort Brutus by night and slaughter every soldier. Now with no one to protect the town, most people tried to caravan out towards Tower's Fall hoping to find some kind of safe haven there.

William took his father's old uniform and two of his revolvers and struck out on his own, looking for the Jokerz who had slayed his family. For twenty years, William couldn't find a single lead until a small desperate excursion to Joker Land finally gave him the information he needed. Leaving several bodies in his wake, "The Last Detective" was captured by several Deathtroopers and sent to Pandemonium. But luckily, that was exactly what he wanted.

Sample Post: Twelve Jokerz laid in a pool of their own blood, either dead, nearly dead, or laughing through their last breaths. One Joker still remained, the runt of the liter. William could remember his face, seeing him back near Fort Brutus with blood splattered all over his purple overalls and white face-paint all those years ago.

"You won't make me talk man!," the jittery bastard shouted. "I ain't ever gun' never talk to you man! I swear!"

"Works for me," William replied as he lifted his revolver over the clown's knee and fired. The bullet ripped through the Joker's leg instantly, unleashing a pained laugh from the psychopath. Blood red tears dripped down his eyes as he just kept on laughing. It seemed almost as natural as breathing for the lunatic.

"M...Mr. J says, 'sticks and stones may break my bones, but bullets can always be pulled out!'," the Joker continued as he bellowed an even harder laugh. William hated this person,...no, this thing.

"Why did you do it," he questioned as he paced around the downed clown, spinning the chamber of his revolver. He didn't care what The Jokerz motives were. He knew why and how and when, but he just wanted to hear it from this bastard. He wanted the facts. Not just some hearsay bull there just to make him feel some sort of closure. He wanted it straight from the source.

"Mr. J also likes to talk about how snitches will get their intestines ripped out of their asses, so no. Nononononononononononono!"

William grunted and looked out from the small shack this group of gang members had been using for a base and noticed the spotlight of a military helicopter. No, paramilitary. Deathtroopers.

"Well lookie look!," the clown shouted in joy, "looks like I ain't haven't to answer not nothin'."

"Sounds about right," William replied as he slammed the chamber back into his revolver. One shot left.

"This is what is about to happen amigo. You are going to die! End of story! A masterpiece if I do say so myself!!"

"No."

The Joker stopped dead silent, even it's incisive laughter stopping in it's tracks. He looked up to William, who now had his revolver dead against the clown's temple. William Dagger knew what came next. He would end this pathetic bastard's evil existence, walk outside, and surrender. If he was lucky he would be sent to the work camps down in Mexico, or what was left of it. He would need an alias, in case he had family in other parts of the country who were still alive and unharmed for now. He'd been working on one for a while, but one name just came perfectly in mind. 

The Last Detective.

Notes: Coffee and Angry Orchard Hard-Cider. Never at the same time though.

I have the majority of my character finished; the last surviving member of the Mercenary family, the Talon Company...only, I'm curious; how long do you want the Example Post to be? I have a few ideas floating around my head, but it's all jumbled.

Name: Alexander 'Alex' Mcleman
Age: 43
Appearance: 

Alex bears a large burn scar that travels from his cheek down to his chest. His hair is what he calls 'strawberry blonde' but in fact, it is ginger. His hair is messy and usually left as it is when he wakes up. His beard matches his hair in colour but he tends to take more time trimming that than he does his hair. He can usually be seen wearing his fathers "Glasgow" T-shirt with a ragged jacket over it. He also wears old, slightly torn jeans that are upturned at the feet. On his feet he wears regular old boots. He stands at 5 foot 10 and weighs around 75kg. He bears a bit of muscle on his arms but not as much as he did in his youth.
Abilities/Skills: Alex is a master engineer, capable of creating, repairing and modifying weapons using minimal equipment. That being said, he is also quite good at utilizing these weapons and is a crackshot with a rifle. Alex also knows some hand to hand combat, but not enough to pose a major threat to someone who had been properly trained in it.

Really the sample post should adhere to the rules of regular posting.  Rules 13 comes to mind for length -

13. Writing expectations for this roleplay are at least a two (2) paragraph minimum per post. Three (3) to five (5) paragraph posts however would be awesome so long as you're not simply chewing the scenery. Proper spelling and grammar is also expected but small mistakes here and there are understandable. Blatant offenses will be called out.

Though if you want/need to write more than that feel free to go wild.  We'll read the sample regardless of length.

WIP

Name:  Jackson Darcone
Alias: He has been known to don the alias of “White Blaze”
Age: 21
Gender: Male

Appearance:

Jackson has a lean build to him, which means he doesn’t have a lot of muscle on him. That isn’t to say that he doesn’t have msucle, just not as much of say, someone who works out constantly. He has white skin and a mixture of brown and blonde hair. It comes to be about neck length. His bangs cover most of his forehead. The sides of his head is shaved like a buzz-cut. He has soft green eyes that tell of where he’s been and who he is. His height and weight are average -- 5’7 and 150lbs respectively. His attire is pretty normal, given the circumstances. He wears loose yet fit black pants that are held snug at his waistline by a series of belts. He wears a brown-colored tank top. Over it is a black leather jacket that comes with a hood that also has several latches to hold various items. He also has a scarf-like item around his neck that he can use to conceal his face in case of events that he needs to do as such.

Abilities/Skills:

White Fire Manipulation:
Jackson is able to manipulate the hottest type of fire known to man and that is the White Flame. With it, he can utilize high temperatures to incinerate almost anything, reducing it to ashes. He is highly skilled in this skill, so he is able to control the white fire and choose which body part of a human being he wants to reduce to ashes. He is, however, only limited to organic and inorganic materials, but metal is suspect to it as well. Depending on the size of the object/person, it may take time for it/them to be completely reduced to ashes. There‘s also the aspect of whether said person can manipulate ashes.

Jackson can manipulate the white flames in such ways that he can increase the kinetic energy of atoms and molecules, causing them to ignite. This process creates heat and light, which would also be at Jackson’s disposal. However, he is also suspect to becoming lit like a Christmas tree if he isn’t careful.

Other such skills that Jackson can use while using his White Fire is that he can draw fire breath from his mouth and use it to attack his foes, release the white fire in the form of fireballs or heat vision. All of these come with minimal cost, so he uses them repeatedly. It’s actually the more common usage of his power.

Even though he has proved to be highly skilled with this ability, there are still feats that Jackson hasn’t even begun to tap into. He’s heard of people who have fully-mastered this ability that were able to actually use the white fire as means of purification. He knows of one type of fire power that does that and it’s called Holy Fire. He’s heard of people being able to remove evil or darkness from an object or person with as much of a single touch. It’s feats like those that make Jackson want to keep training and hopefully learn from such people so that he can learn the more advanced skills of his ability. Though, he is pretty close to being able to summon beings of fire and light. It’s just not there yet.
