RocketLord Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 The Atom Family is expanding! Welcome to the brand new Atom Academy, a think tank and place of generally awesome super science and exploration into the unknown for anyone interested! Spurred by a brief discussion of the Atom Family last week and how one would go about creating someone for the family, the best options given current ages were either alternate universe Atoms, future Atoms or something inspired by Marvel Comics' Future Foundation. So, enter, the Atom Academy! Pretty much nothing is set in stone yet (not even the name, though I really like the alliteration), so anyone that's interested, let's have some brainstorming. Throw your ideas in, and we'll figure things out! Some of my thoughts, to get things started: - The Atom Academy is not supposed to be an alternative to Claremont. You can attend Claremont and still be a member of the Atom Academy, and the Atom Academy is not just for teens, but for heroes of all ages. - The Atom Academy should have a super science base somewhere in Freedom City, with access to wonders created by the Atom Family and members of the Academy. I'm thinking something in a mix of the Baxter Building and the post-Schism Jean Grey School of Higher Learning. - While nominally a think tank, the Atom Academy is not just for super geniuses. The main purpose of the Atom Academy is strange science adventures and exploration into the unknown! - Family matters. If the Atom Family was a family by blood, the Atom Academy is destined to become a family by choice.
Heritage Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 I think this definitely has potential! I've always enjoyed the Atoms, and like the idea of seeing them have even an indirect presence in FC:PbP.
RocketLord Posted January 18, 2021 Author Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Uniform concept, based primarily off the Atom Family's Silver Age look. The idea is that the members of the academy doesn't have to wear it, but its appreciated if they do. If they do wear it, they can make adjustments, additions and changes as they like. Add a jacket! Shoulder pads! A cape! Bare arms if you're into that! Change the colors! Your call! Edited January 19, 2021 by RocketLord

Heritage Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Assuming Lulu ever joined, her main body would be pink with the black arm, and pink visor.
RocketLord Posted January 28, 2021 Author Posted January 28, 2021 Visor's just a thing for Rocket, but other can get some if they want.
Tiffany Korta Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Actually a 'lil head-up display for the team sounds like an Atom thing, specially with the guy in the chair being our Zordon!
RocketLord Posted January 28, 2021 Author Posted January 28, 2021 Heads up displays for everyone, then! Some more thoughts based on chats with people: Atom Academy will be based in the former Goodman building, which has now been renamed to Atom Tower. While the Atom Family still lives at the tower, a good number of floors have been added to the top of the building using science, where the Atom Academy is housed.
RocketLord Posted March 8, 2021 Author Posted March 8, 2021 Kaede will be joining with Doctor Evol! And I've started a social thread to get things going, hit me up if you want to join in and we'll find an opening!
