Welcome REDACTED,

It is our pleasure to inform you that you have been formally accepted into The Academy program. Over 15 years ago REDACTED contacted your family and the agreement to have you join the ranks was made. They then began to train you into what you are today. Confirmed REDACTED, REDACTED, and REDACTED, your skills are impressive, and we hope you look forward to putting them to practical use.


Always Watching,

REDACTED




Discord Link: discord.gg/EfGJQkE


The Verità is an intelligence organization that can trace its history back to the start of the Cold War when, after decades of bloodshed members of the intelligence community from all over the world realized the rapidly changing world and power structures could mean disaster if proper intelligence wasn’t used to guide national decisions. Secretly members of Soviet, Allied, and Independent countries began to meet and created a shadow group know The Verità.

First cooked up as an idea following the creation of the Five Eyes Agreement, Verita began as an idea, but quickly gaining momentum. It was first heavily aligned with Western Powers and was soon obvious that if it wasn't a global intelligence network it would be part of the problem. Friends and foes alike quickly drew new battlegrounds with intelligence and espionage being the modern spoils of war. As the cold war began to slow the new threat to peace quickly turned to the rapidly changing trials of terrorism and unchecked powers. Needing to adapt to these new methods a secondary program was established called The Academy in 1972.

This program has the sons and daughters of current intelligence members recruited through their parents at a young age for a mentorship of sorts. If the family agrees the child is required to be intensively trained by their parents until they graduate high school at which time they are confirmed as students at the University of Oxford. While studying as a full time student each member of the program will be putting their families training to the test with live missions. The expectations of this are to cultivate the next generation of intelligence assets for The Verita to deploy against known and unknown threats.

With the backstory of the organization getting some more meat on its bones I am looking forward to opening this role play up for applications. I am unsure how many people I am going to accept in this role play. I have thoughts, if there is enough interest, in compartmentalizing two role plays if there is enough interest so please do not fear an overly populated interest / application pool as there might be a plan for that. (Fingers Crossed!)

One thing I wanted to go into more detail on is my goal for this role play. A fun sexy spy thriller is the theme I am going for; however, please think more of the current Bond sort of theme where it is all that, but the cost is very much real. Your characters have yet to kill, but this role play will put them indirectly or sometimes directly in that path. Please feel free to explore this.

Each of those wishing to join this role play will be playing as a new member of the 2020 class. There will be a few guidelines that I will lay out as far as character history and whatnot. Below is the character sheet you will need to fill out to apply to join. Please review and apply by sending me a completed sheet via a Private Message. Should you have any questions I am free to answer them!

Addition Information About The Academy Program


Leadership / Teaching Staff

REDACTED - William Stephenson - Verita Leadership

REDACTED - Elizabeth Lew - Logistics and Travel Training

REDACTED - Nathan Hale - Information & Communications Training

REDACTED - Alexander Koral - Tactical & Support Training

REDACTED - Rose Greenhow - Diplomacy and Negotiation Training

REDACTED - Fritz Duquesne - Weapons and Firearms Training

REDACTED - Sherry Chen - Close Quarters Combat Training

REDACTED - Rabinder Singh - Resident Administrator

Facilities / Living Quarters

The Academy Classroom - At this location all pre and post mission briefs are held. Specific lectures also happen here as well as some communication with Verita.

Student Apartment Complex - All Academy students are housed in a single London Flat code named 'Black Box' but more often referred to as the 'shoe box'. The location has several safe rooms along with a full operations and support room, personal bedrooms and bathrooms for every occupant along with an indoor pool and gym facilities.



Oxford, UK - Hide in plain sight is a common phrase in the spy world. What better place to hide a secret spy program then at a city with over 40,000 students in it. Located an hour away from London by train the city is vibrant, young, and green. With several organizations that unknowingly partner with Verita.

The Academy 'Syllabus'

Training - Everything your sponsor to The Academy made you do led up to surviving The Academy training. Surprise exercise on and off campus are a regular occurrence. The only options besides keeping up is to fail and to do so is not an option. There is more than one way to succeed.

Exams - Exams are delivered in a myriad of ways that seem to only be limited by the training officers imagination. The only consistency is that Exams actually mean live mission exercise. Simply take a tour of a countries embassy all the way to assist with the extraction of an asset are a few examples of previous exams.

REDACTED Test - Very little is known about a students REDACTED test. What is known is that it is the most dangerous task assigned in The Academy with numinous students being labeled MIA or worse.

Final Report - Before a student is confirmed to have graduated they must undergo a Final Report debrief of their REDACTED test and entire time at The Academy. This is is said to be the most comprehensive meeting of an agents life even outdoing a retirement debrief. Reviewing everything from the students background and actions to that of their contacts and family members.

Graduation - Upon graduation a student from the Academy is granted full membership into the ranks of Verita and assigned to a director of a specific region or program. During the graduation ceremony a student is given their formal code name.

Welcome aboard @Infernal Flame!


Happy to be aboard! Also asking this question here, instead of via pm, in case others have a similar query: Are they (meaning the parents and our future spylings) part of Verita or native intelligence corps? Or both?

Your parents are a part of BOTH their direct intelligence agency as well as secretly members of Verita. None of the parents of our characters will be solely members of Verita. In part that is what the Academy program is designed to do (Create Verita only agents).

@World Traveler Oh ok that makes sense! Then the problem of conflicting loyalties doesn't come into play if they're only Verità agents. :) This is going to be so much fun!

I don't have a discord for this role play. IF someone would like to make one that is great, but sadly I don't have the skill set to confidently create one.

Alright gang the IC is up! Please note that this first post will have you getting your character from the airport to Oxford, England (Specifically the team dorms as listed in the OOC extra details post).

At this time no one is allowed to take the same mode of transportation so I will be assigning them now. This has been done in a random but not random order. You can guess how for extra points!

Bus from airport to Oxford. This is assigned to Jesse Conners.@vertigh0st
Car from airport to Oxford. This is assigned to Cairo Lalatovic.@Infernal Flame
Helicopter from airport to Oxford. This is assigned to Madeleine Lau. @Hitman
Plane Directly to Oxford. This is assigned to Colin Sheehan. @World Traveler
Train from London to Oxford. This is assigned to Lucy Watterson.@sassy1085


Upon arrival you will be in front of the black building with nothing of obvious note. Feel free to have a character or two ring the doorbell, but until everyone has arrived (posted) nothing will happen.

I don't normally set deadlines, but would it be okay with everyone if we set an expectation of getting their posts up by Thursday? if not that is totally fine. Just wanting to get an idea of my calendar and single out some time to write.
