[quote=@lovely complex] [@NarcissisticPotato] Well quite a few people have been putting in their character sheets that their powers have been passed down from generations. I'd like to think that people with special abilities have been here for a while. I made Ellie's parents alumnae to Mayweather so that grantees the school being around for at least 30 years. I'd like the think the schools (well now school, sorry Delphina) are OLD AS HELL. Though when the academies opened, that was probably during a controversal time for people with powers - trying to get known as heroes rather than freaks. We'll have to see what [@HushedWhispers] has to say on that one. [/quote] [@NarcissisticPotato] The schools have been around for generations and generations, hence the names of the Academies(lol) but your abilities does not have to be passed down from a parent or from your characters parents. Example: Bobby from X-Men though someone carried the gene somewhere down the line in the descendant family line and skipped at least two generations before suddenly falling onto him. Think of this as X-Men Academy, or something of that nature. Makes sense? :)[hr][h3]P.S. So bored already! D:[/h3]
