Warmonger Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Inerested. Though I'm not sure how I will be connected. With Ronin I just figured he could be soemthing of a freelance "instructor" slash "fixer" who works with the headmistress. Sen could jsut as easily give in too his dark side.
Sandman XI Posted July 27, 2009 Author Posted July 27, 2009 Right now I'm looking for students first.
Arcane Snowman Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 I'm working on magician who'd greatly appreciate support from an organization like the Shadow Academy, so by all means.
ex3lev3n Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I'm very interested. I have the full stats for my char written up, and am currently working on tweaking his background to facilitate his training and acceptance/kidnapping by the Shadow Academy.
Geez3r Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I'm guessing from all the villains signing up that this is some sort of anti-Claremont. If that's the case, Malice may very well have a keen interest in being a "teacher". Warping the minds of the young is its own reward. And having everything you own be blown up and having your arm dissolved may very well shift his morals around a bit. That being said, I know nothing about Shadow Academy besides its name and I have no idea if and when Malice could participate because of various shenanigans.
quotemyname Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Captain Knievel may very well need a place to hide while while the heat from his trial blows over. IF I escape, and IF this actually transpires, Knievel may be willing to provide some villainous knowledge in exchange for shelter. No promises though, as my character's fate is still to be determined.
Warmonger Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 As Malice Surmised it is more of an Anti-Claremont than just a general villain grouping. I think Sand wanted to know if there was enough interest to form an actual teen group. Taurus is a long-term planner, it comes with being immortal.Over time, he’s noticed several truisms in regards to the quality of the help he’s used or exploited. Quality costs and is rare.Loyalty is rarer still, and few assets possess the power, thetraining, and the reliability to offset their cost, especially in the communityof so-called “supervillains.†With his resources, this should not present a problem That it hasconsistently resurfaced is galling to him. Ms. Scarlet’s training andrecruitment methods saw to a certain level of expertise among the rank-and-file, but beyond a select few other assets, superhumans persistentlyprove more trouble than they are worth. There has to be a better way. Recently, Taurus has taken inspiration from an old enemy. Few secrets are proof against time, the hard-won wisdom of centuries,and near-unimaginable resources. The true face behind the Raven’scowl was one of those secrets, among many Taurus keeps close to his vest. It was Duncan Summers’ success with the ClaremontAcademy that garnered the old bull’s interest after pondering hisown difficulties. Why depend on hiring or engineering the righttalent when you can groom said talent to be what you want fromthe beginning? The Shadow Academy is a dark reflection of the philosophies driving Claremont. Where Summers and his associates pour their effortsinto preparing the heroes of tomorrow, the Shadow Academy moldstomorrow’s criminals into accomplished professionals every bit theequal of whatever stalwart dares stand between them and their ill-gotten gains.
Avenger Assembled Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Would the Shadow Academy, as written, offering shelter to Captain Knievel? He's a bigoted loudmouth with a hate-on against a significant percentage of their students, and not so stupid that he'll believe that he's not surrounded by mutants of various shapes and sizes. I think they'd worry he was sending the wrong message to impressionable evil minds. Villains have pride too. Just a thought. ;)
quotemyname Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 No I suppose not. I wasn't really aware of the literature of the school. Just trying to get involved in stuff :)
Elfy Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I like it, but are there enough non-adult villains to put together something? Funny enough my PL6 current supervillainess concept is a preteen =)
Bendigeidfran Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Well, some of us might have an open spot, so why not? Sign me up for this.
Elfy Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 pokes the thread. let's discuss more about this. let's get characters going. let get with the mischief and give wedgies to the claremont losers =p
Dr Archeville Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Wait, weren't you the one who was going to be overseeing it?
Sandman XI Posted August 7, 2009 Author Posted August 7, 2009 I am. So far the only thing I've seen is ideas. Nothing concrete. The only real person we have is Malice.
quotemyname Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 ex11 sounds pretty into it. I am pretty sure he is planning on having his PL6 join the school. Elfy sounds interested too.
Arcane Snowman Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Similarly I've just gotten my head around my PL 6 villian, who will also cooperate with the Shadow Academy.
Elfy Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 well, let's bring it =) misdeeds to be done. mischief to make. villainy to perform }=)
Sandman XI Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 Arcane Snowman? ex3lev3n? Bendigeidfran? Anyone else?
Dr Archeville Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 On the one hand, Belphegor would be interested in getting in on this. A chance to corrupt some (superpowered) youths? A chance to teach the fine art of forgery? A chance to recruit some of the kids to be his own artificing coven, and help him in creating demonically-infused items? (A chance to teach art history & archaeology, possibly raising a new generation of Evil!Indiana Jones's?) Yes, please! On the other hand, the Shadow Academy is a product of the Labyrinth, which is lead by Taurus, and thus ultimately by Hades. The Greek God of the Underworld may not appreciate a JudaeoChristian demon horning in (pun intended) on his business; he is the jealous type.
Avenger Assembled Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 On the other hand, D-A, Hades may appreciate having a JudeoChristian demon as his employee. "He bows to me, as ultimately ALL the children of Yahweh will one day, bwahahahaha!" :twisted:
angrydurf Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 well as the shadow accademy is but one part of Taurus's massive conspiracy for world domination and taurus but one of Hades servants on earth, I would question how much attention he actually pays to who is employed there :)
Moira Morley Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 I thought Shadow Academy was recruitment for the Nazi expies.
Dr Archeville Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 That's what they want you to think! (Most people who know of the Shadow Academy -- and that's not many, because it is still a secret/hidden school, unlike those fools at Claremont -- think is affiliated with SHADOW. They do nothing to dissuade people of this very incorrect notion.)
