The world has changed pretty drastically over the past few decades.

Technology advanced, lives got longer, people started donating more to Africa. You get the gist.

Oh, and pretty recently something about the human genome made the news. I wont bore you with the details, but the gist is that some people started producing a new energy- one that gave them superpowers. It was like something right out of a comic book. There weren't heroes like in the stories though. People are innately self driven and these powers were... not used to benefit much of anyone.

The world changed after that. These gifted individuals might have had power, but the regulars had numbers, and fear, and religions, and weapons that fired high caliber lead at supersonic speeds which pretty much put anything that wasn't made of stone down as quick as a regular person. They had to find other means for the golems. Civil wars raged, and a lot of people lost their lives. It was a dark time in history, and the scars of the past still haunt the world of today.

And while they were continually defeated by superior force and numbers, more of these... paranormal humans, or Parahumans as people began calling them, kept popping up around the globe. While there were the bad apples- there were also the good ones too. The ones that were paramedics using their electricity to revive their patients, or using their ability to read minds to teach more effectively. The comic books ended up being pretty inaccurate. There weren't many of them, less than a thousandth of the population. Do the math though- in this world that's still over ten million people.

The world saw that these people could slaughter and burn, but it also saw that they could save lives and innovate. The world called for change again- To train these gifted people to push the world forward through academies and learning programs, and the world came together towards one common goal.

A promise for a greater tomorrow.

Not to be confused with The Promise of course.

The Promise is the world's most incredible endeavor yet. An Academy in orbit.

A school among the stars.

The Promise is where you're going, actually. You've either been chosen through a draw and agreed to go to school in a giant space station 22,000 miles away from the ground, or you've been dragged there kicking and screaming to to taught how to be civil or to be ejected into space for the safety of those around you. Your world is changing very soon, and not just because you're going to be leaving it.

Oh, and before I go- yes, you can turn the gravity off.

A quick note, sheets will not be denied or accepted until the OOC is up. Feel free to post them or DM them to me. We can also talk about them in discord- but nothing official yet. In terms of strength, try to go for street level superpowers. Building level metas will be accepted conditionally on a case by case basis. Think Marvel's Defenders TV show.

Final Notes

---

Hi everyone! I'm looking for some fairly motivated and dedicated people who will be around and willing to explore plots that I come up with as well as scheme up new ones along with me for everyone else to jump in on should they see fit. I'm active pretty regularly, so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask and if you're feeling extra spicy, join The Promise discord with this link!

Massive shout out to both @Ruler Inc and @Lord Wraith for their help. This thread wouldn't exist without 'em.

Academy 003: Seeds of Change (Aw shit, here we go again edition)

Trying to work on it on my phone. It is a not a complete post.

If that’s the first question in your mind you’re likely writing a character for the wrong reasons.

Think street level. Marvel’s Defenders (TV show) is a good baseline.

"Okay, mom! I'll fill out the form. Why do they need this information if they have my photograph?"

▼ | BIRTH NAME : |

Sierra Leanne Hilton

▼ | ALSO KNOWN AS: |

N/A

▼ | GENDER : |

Female

▼ | AGE : |

17

⫸ A P P E A R A N C E ⫷

"I feel like I'm going to the doctor or getting my driver's test again."

▼ | P H Y S I C AL S T A T S : |

▸ HEIGHT : | 5'4
▸ WEIGHT : | 112 lbs
▸ ETHNICITY : | American of French/Canadian descent.
▸ HAIR COLOR : | Dark brown
▸ EYE COLOR : | Blue

▼ | PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION : |

Sierra has a squared, angular face, sharp jawline, and piercing eyes. Her eyes are vaguely almond-shaped and possess a icy blue color like her father. Dark hair and eyebrows frame her face, with her hair coming down to the middle of her back when let down. Her skin has a warm ivory tone to it, further committing to her fairly dark color palette, and is incredibly clear of any blemishes or scars aside from a few sun spot freckles here and there from her time in the sun. She is lean, but not skinny, although she doesn't possess a great deal of muscle mass or weight as she does not exercise much beyond jogging and yoga. It keeps her cardio up and figure right, but not much more than that. Her figure is not particularly curvy and so because she doesn't dress provocatively she is spared from sexualization at first glance. She has no piercings or tattoos.

▼ | ATTIRE : |

Sierra's attire changes drastically throughout the day depending on the instance you run into her with- although she tends to go for well fitted clothing that is fairly easy to wear and wash.

⫸ P S Y C H O L O G Y ⫷

"Mom and dad have been really pushing me to get my grades as high as they can go for this. Given what happened, I kinda get it. Oh, and I have a 4.91 rating on Uber."

▼ | PERSONALITY : |

First and foremost, Sierra is an inherently curious individual with far too much energy for her own good. From a young age she could never sit still, which only worsened when her power manifested at the age of five. From then on, she would simply send copies of herself to school, while others would wreck havoc on the neighborhood, house, and home. Her years of experience and literal lifetimes of study have made her an expert in hundreds of skills from cooking to engineering, and yet despite this she carries herself with modesty and no shortage of humility. Her people skills are top notch, and she has found that she far prefers being quietly intelligent rather than a mouthy know it all. She abides by the rule of spreading knowledge wherever she goes, but speaking only when necessary.

Sierra, thus, is kind. She has reached the far end of the Dunning-Kruger curve and knows that even if she knows as much as she does, she still knows nothing. A firm believer that every person she'll ever meet knows something that she doesn't. Her excitement is infectious in nature, her antics and passion often swallowing other people up whole in her energy to do something. Everything she does, she goes with gusto, laughing a full bellied and unladylike laugh, smiling with all teeth, and moving with a flow that is both childishly passionate and wisely experienced, as if she is a master craftsman excitedly creating their magnum opus. This weird combination has often landed her with a few demeaning insults thrown her way about being ADHD or hyperactive. She can be a lot at times, especially to introverts, and has difficulty reigning her ever buzzing mind and energy in- especially when it is alight with many conversations at once. Some people are threatened by her intelligence, or skill set, and the child in her that just wants to be accepted aches with unease and desire to be liked- often resulting in her overcompensation (which therein usually results in her making things worse). She is still not quite sure how to deal with challenges like these, but if there is one thing that has been driven home in her life, it's that there's nothing she cant do if she sets her mind to it. After all... better busy than bored.

▼ | SKILLS : |

Due to her power, Sierra is an extremely diversely skilled and well rounded individual. She has so much time during the day that her opportunity cost for doing things is far lower than most.

Media- Sierra is extremely well versed in all forms of media- movies, books, magazines, video games, comics, you name it and she has almost definitely seen it, read it, or played it and will understand the reference. She is also a massive history and sports buff. If you go up against her on trivia night, she is incredibly sorry for the massive ass whooping you are about to receive.

Languages- Sierra is proficient in reading and writing in eight languages to an advanced degree: English, French, Spanish, German, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and Arabic. She is capable of reading dozens others to a fairly basic degree, and cannot speak them having found the other aforementioned languages more intuitive to her.

Music- Sierra is quite literally her own band, and she is capable of reading, writing, arranging, and performing with several instruments such as the keyboard, electric and acoustic guitar, bass, drums, all sorts of brass and wind instruments, and other stringed instruments. She is also a vocalist- being an alto, and while she's good she is not particularly show stopping or abnormally good.

Art- Sierra is an exceptionally well practiced artist with both pen and pencil as well as paintbrush. She regularly does paintings or sketches of various people, places, and things preferring to draw what she sees instead of what she imagines. Other forms of art she regularly partakes in as well, such as photography and dancing.

Cooking- Sierra is a master chef.

Chess- Chess, and other strategy games are some of Sierra's favorite pastimes. She regularly plays against herself and other people if they are willing to go up against her.

Technology- While not quite as common a skill for young women in her age bracket, Sierra's ever inquisitive brain has taken a liking to anything relating to computers and software. She can build computers, solder electronics, and code entire websites. She is certified for Microsoft Office, the Adobe suit, and is an excellent video editor. While she is not certified, she is extremely experienced in IT and often finds herself diagnosing and solving advanced and simple technical problems.

Well Studied- Years of reading has led Sierra to be extremely knowledgeable in a plethora of subjects such as biology, chemistry, anatomy, history, zoology, Astonomy, physics, pathology, psychology, among many other subjects. She is by no means certified and doesn't regard herself as a substitute for a licensed and practiced individual, but things come in handy here and there.

Naturalist- Years of curiosity has landed her in the wild and in some fairly compromising positions. She's fairly adept as an outdoorswoman. Years of camping, bird watching, hiking, fishing, and generally exploring has made her an excellent survivalist. She is very familiar with most species of animals and plants in all areas of the USA and knows all of the constellations and other celestial objects in the sky. In edition to this, she is also experienced with bow hunting- although she is far from an expert huntswoman.

List may be expanded.

▼ | BACK STORY : |

Most of Sierra's life before the age of five was fairly standard, all things considered. She was a normal child, who did normal things. She was smart, sure, but she wasn't abnormally so for her age. She slept, ate, socialized and went to school just like many of her other friends.

Life changed when her father, an esteemed chemist, brought home a delta crystal that resulted in Sierra becoming the metahuman she is today. The results weren't immediately apparent, instead her abilities manifested a day or so later when she needed to the bathroom but didn't want to miss out on cake at a friend's birthday party. Life was... well, never quite the same after that.

This first use of her abilities resulted in quite a madhouse at first, with her family not knowing quite what to do with her and her being a terrified, traumatized mess of a little girl who suddenly lost her entire friend group in the span of an afternoon. Eventually though, life fell into a sort of rhythm. She was, and always had been an only child in a fairly well off family. She went to school again, this time her mother placing her in an boarding school while she also was home doing a variety of other activities from reading to horse riding. Life was eventful, and exhausting for her family, ultimately resulting in a divorce between her mother and father that was neither her fault nor theirs. Life was suddenly just too weird and too stressful. It's been years now, and she has worked through the feelings of grief and self blame for the most part, and has come to accept her parent's choice.

She bounced between the families for a while initially- mostly as a result of law. She tried stay at both their homes at once, but found that this often worsened the situation as it was her power that had caused the rift in her previously happy family. She took up quieter, smaller, and much less expensive hobbies for a time, with her now being close to fourteen years old, in an effort to not make her situation worse.

The day she turned fifteen, she joined the workforce- finding any and every possible job that would take her early so she could earn some extra cash to further her immense list of hobbies without driving a greater rift between herself and her parents. Working many jobs, and often, resulted in other more work related hobbies such as starting a small time lawn and garden care business in her neighborhood. This was her first introduction to gardening, and more importantly, finances. Naturally, she dove head first in to satisfy her ever prying mind. Day and night, rain or shine- often earning the nickname "Miracle Girl" for her seemingly incredible work ethic and regular use of miracle grow.

Turning sixteen only broadened her horizons further, and since she did not have space in her driveway for more than a few cars she often found herself carpooling or ubering with herself to various jobs- oftentimes playing it off as a case of twins or triplets if anyone happened to notice that she was dropping herself off at work. Her resume was beginning to seem more like a laundry list than an actual resume at this point, and that's when big brother started paying attention. Now, here she is, a 17 year old girl ready to take Academy 003 and anything it can throw at her.

"My army of one is going to fight for you, my army of one is going to fall for you."

▼ | POWER CLASSIFICATION : |

Type-Yellow

▼ | POWER DESCRIPTION : |

Sierra has the ability to clone herself to an unprecedented degree and is able to split and re-merge at a fast pace similar to mitosis. Each version of Sierra operates independently, but harbors a rudimentary hive mind that allows clones to send directives to one another. Each clone is indistinguishable from the others. This allows Sierra to do multiple tasks simultaneously or to cover a large area.

Sierra has no original or main copy, and killing or injuring one single copy does not harm or impede other copies. If one copy is dismembered but still alive, it can recombine with another copy without issue. A copy that is killed or dies cannot be recombined, and acts like a regular corpse. Because of this, while individual copies of her can be drugged or damaged in the grand scheme of things Sierra is technically immune to the effects of drugs, both medicinal and otherwise, and alcohol so long as another copy of her is present. In an event where Sierra is unable to locate or recombine with a copy, she can send a directive that removes its survival instincts, and the clone usually expires shortly after.

▼ | LIMITS : |

Recombination requires physical touch.

Sierra is limited to a maximum of sixty copies at a time, and can only produce thirty copies in a 24 hour period.

An injured or impeded copy cannot duplicate itself.

Cloned copies cannot share their memories remotely with one another, they must recombine to share anything other than directives.

Sierra's body, blood, and organs are extremely similar, genetically, to a human's, but different significantly enough to disqualify her from organ or blood donation.

Cloning only clones the body. Clothing not included. Because of this she almost exclusively clones herself in private.

Sierra and all of her copies are completely sterile.

All clones must be within a 100 mile distance of one another, otherwise they lose their survival instincts and usually perish shortly after. She knows when she is approaching this threshold by instinct and maintains appropriate proximity from her other selves.

Sierra does not have any advanced understanding of where or how her other clones are. She must recombine to inherit the information of a clones previous whereabouts.

▼ | WEAKNESSES : |

All of Sierra's clones are completely human and aside from being clones and capable of cloning themselves have absolutely no standout features or traits. No super strength, no shitting lasers, no blood manipulation- nothin. They are as durable as normal people and are mostly canon fodder in any form of combat.
