St. Argos Academy was founded by Samantha in the late nineteen-forties following the devastating second world war. During the reconstruction of Japan, Samantha spent a great deal of time in the countryside helping to rebuild the nation he had played a role in destroying. Guilt was what moved her to start up her academy on an island in the Eastern Coast of Tokyo, but it quickly changed over the years. Samantha recruited her old friends to help teach and began to scout out the gifted youth in Japan.
Why? That is a question that has been asked for years. The official reason is said to be Samantha’s desire to help preserve and protect the greatest humanity has to offer and to provide for them an environment that allows them to expand their abilities to that of their full potential. Indeed, over the years many excellent individuals have come from the hallowed halls of what became known as St. Argos Academy. However, there have also been numerous graduates that have gone on to do horrible, monstrous things. They all also thanked Samantha's academy for their training.
St. Argos Academy is a school for boys and girls of exceptional gifts and eccentricities no matter their moral standing or family background. They take in people from all walks of life no matter their history or skill set. It is for these reasons that the Academy has another name. The Zoo. A place for misfits and oddities with the occasional monster or exotic beast. Have no fear though, for whatever you arrive as you most certainly will leave as something more.
