Claremont Academy: Taking Attendance 2021-2022

[Gizmo]

2021 - 2022 Claremont Academy School Year begins September 6th!

 

     Dear Parent, Guardian or Mentor Figure,

     Congratulations to your child or ward on being admitted to the upcoming school year at Claremont Academy! We couldn't be more excited to welcome them into our proud legacy of academic excellence, practical experience and community service.

 

     The semester will begin on Monday, September 6th. Dormitory move-in dates begin one week prior on Monday, August 30th. Below you will find a list of supplies each student will be expected to bring with them, along with a list of those provided by the Academy including toiletries, dormitory furniture and active wear to be used during our award winning physical fitness programs. Financial aid is of course available to students attending on scholarship and we offer meal plans to suit all needs. Our administrative offices will have been in touch by now regarding any dietary restrictions, allergies, atmospheric requirements, etc. See the enclosed contact information for any further inquiries.

 

     Claremont Academy has long been home to students of both exceptional ability and exceptional circumstances. While students should be prepared to work hard developing their talents and learning invaluable real world skills they can also look forward to a welcoming community of peers with their own unique perspectives and experiences. Orientation will cover movie nights, extracurricular clubs, our expanded intramural league and other activities. These are the friendships which will last a lifetime.

 

     Welcome to Claremont Academy!

 

Beneath of the Headmistress' signature someone has doodled several costume insignia ideas in blue and red ballpoint pen, featuring different combinations of five pointed stars and stripe patterns. The space between them is mostly filled with pointy S designs.

Make a note in the day planner you picked up from the registrar's office, it's time for a new school year! In preparation, each player with a new or returning student who will be attending Claremont this year should post below with appropriate survey for their character:

 

RETURNING STUDENTS

Name:

Codename:

Year: Sophomore, Junior or Senior

Pronouns:

 

Current Intramural Team:

 

Current Roommate: If both roommates from last year are still active characters they'll most likely be paired together again! If you have an in-character or out-of-character reason to want to switch things up you can send a Ref a private message on the Discord server.

 

Reflection: What goals does the character have after last year? What did they think they did well and what were they disappointed with?

 

Independent Thinker: What has your character begun to question in the past year? Are they rethinking an assumption about themselves or someone else? Have they become mistrustful of an authority figure? Have their post-graduation plans changed?

 

 

NEW STUDENTS

Name:

Codename:

Year: Sophomore, Junior or Senior

Pronouns:

 

Prospective Roommate: If two players want their characters to be rooming together in the dormitories let us know here! You can also say if you'd prefer an NPC roommate or if your character won't be staying in the dormitories during the school year. Otherwise we'll match up unassigned PCs!

 

Goal: Where does your character see themselves upon graduating from Claremont? Do they have a role model they want to live up to or a situation they'd like to change for the better?

 

Favourite Music: What is your character's favourite band or musical artist who released new music in the last year? For students displaced in time or dimensions this can be their last subjective year! What make it their favourite?

[Thunder King]

NEW STUDENTS

Name: Simon Gray

Codename:  Cat-Sith

Year: Sophomore

Pronouns:  He/His

 

Prospective Roommate: Someone who isn't allergic to cats. 

 

Goal:  To learn to live in the new world he's found himself in, to adapt to it. He likes the future and all it's accompanying stuff, he just needs to learn to catch up.

 

Favourite Music:  He doesn't remember any specific songs, but he likes drums, fiddles and flutes. Modern music is weird, but he's getting into it.

[Dr Archeville]

RETURNING STUDENT

 

Name: Heroditus Fabricus Stylianos

Codename: Artificer

Year: Senior

Pronouns: He/Him/His

 

Current Intramural Team: Green Squad

 

Current Roommate: Benjamin "Rebound" d'Amato.

 

Reflection: Glad I was able to help with the Lemurian Werewolf Curse, and with stopping that Alien-Gator at the mall!  I still have much to learn, though, about Surfacer tech and Surfacer cultures.

 

Independent Thinker:  He's still trying to learn about Surfacer stuff, but is more comfortable working on magic and teach than cultural/social stuff.  Becoming a bit more rebellious (for an Atlantean, which is still kinda stuffy by Surfacer standards), no longer sees elders as Authorities Beyond Questioning.  Still uncomfortable around Lemurians, but is actively working on fighting those ingrained reactions, and judges them by their actions, not their appearance.

 

[RocketLord]

RETURNING STUDENT

Name: Charles Gordon Pym

Codename: Nevermore II

Year: Junior

Pronouns: He/Him/His

 

Current Intramural Team: Grey Squad

 

Current Roommate: Tremayne Hannigan, aka Sureshock

 

Reflection: Charlie has started to fall into a leadership role of the informal team of Young Guardians that have been opposing Casanova's New Young Freedom. He would like to continue to build on these experiences, leaning into a leadership role. He feels like he's grown well, learning from the other students and growing friendships. He was a bit disappointed in the lack of official assignments from Claremont, and that he had to go looking for trouble on his own (or together with Raven).

 

Independent Thinker: Charlie has begun to question why his mentor is as much of a loner as he is, why he isn't working with others. He's working on making sure the same doesn't happen to him, but he still greatly respects all the Ravens. His plans after graduating have changed slightly to work more with members outside the Raven Family.

[ChrisClark13]

Name: Angela Elgard

Codename: Onyx

Year: Sophomore

Pronouns: She/Her

 

Prospective Roommate: Preferably another student who has a not-quite-human appearance like she herself does.

 

Goal: Angela wishes to learn to be a Hero, using that status to earn a positive reputation for herself so that she doesn't have to hide her true appearance and status as a "Terminus Baby" from the public at large. Her ideal future also includes somehow using being a Hero to make a living. Angela hasn't picked out a role model in particular, though she often thinks about inhuman and/or "T-Baby" Heroes that have managed to find success.

 

Favourite Music: Recently she heard a new song by a new artist called "WILLOW" on the radio and has been listening to the other new songs by them. Angela feels drawn to the punk style of the artist's new songs and the power vocals.

[Tiffany Korta]

Name: Calliope Sen

Codename: Madame Raven

Year:  Junior

Pronouns: She/Her

 

Current Intramural Team: Grey Squad

 

Current Roommate: Kendra Farrum aka Chronia

 

Reflection: Found out that I have a supervillain for a grandad and what should have happened on my sweet sixteen, pretty happy to have missed that one to be honest! On the plus side I’m getting on we my extended found family and helping improve Freedom.

 

Independent Thinker: Oh, you know average teenage thing, find out who I am and why I’m here, as in time displaced and studying under an older me!

[RocketLord]

NEW STUDENT

Name: James Gabriel Guthrie

Codename: Freedom Eagle ∞

Year: Sophomore

Pronouns: He/Him/His

 

Prospective Roommate: None (Not Patrioteen!)

 

Goal: James hopes that he has returned to his own time by then. Until then, his goal is to learn from the past, hoping that he can become a better hero. He has shown a keen interest in the first Freedom Eagle, hoping to learn from his example.

 

Favourite Music: Future Five released a nice track a few months ago in James' relative time. It really speaks to him and helps him get pumped.

[KnightDisciple]

NEW STUDENT

Name: Sharaf el-Jalil

Codename: Patrioteen

Year: Sophomore

Pronouns: He/Him

 

Prospective Roommate: N/A (not Freedom Eagle!)

 

Goal: Sharaf would like to learn how to control his own power, better use his bonded device, and grow to be a hero worthy of the name he bears. 

 

Favorite Music: Heavy/Symphonic Metal

[Nerdzul]

RETURNING STUDENT

Name: Luke Landers

Codename: Nightscale

Year: Junior

Pronouns: He/Him/His

 

Current Intramural Team: Grey Squad

 

Current Roommate: Leon Moore aka Paper.

 

Reflection: Luke likes this new person that he has become in Claremont, using his powers for the sake of others and not just himself, becoming more of a team player, finding that special someone. All in all he can say that his first year of school had been great and he plans to continue on that path.

 

Independent Thinker: On the other side, he feels guilty that he can't always be around his family and friends from his previous life. He is feeling like he is leaving them behind and living this high, exciting life while they are still struggling with their own troubles, mundane or otherwise from his best friend being turned into a cyborg against his will, one of the local gangs unleashing demons on the streets, his little bro missing him... He wished he could have been there more for them.

 

[Thevshi]

NEW STUDENT

Name: Bernadette O’Connell

Codename: Multi-Girl

Year: Sophomore

Pronouns: She/Her

 

Prospective Roommate: Someone that does not mind a crowd.

 

Goal: Bernadette is at Claremont to help her learn to control her duplication ability. Before her powers manifested, she had been interested in trying to pursue a singing career. Now she is wondering if that is still possible given the emergence of her powers.

 

Favorite Music: Besides generally listening to the standard Top 40 music, Bernadette has continued to keep up with the Irish Indie/Indie-Pop music scene. One of her current favorites from Ireland is Lauren Ann’s “Don’t Take It Out on Me.”

[Kaede Kimura]

Name: Muirne Sceadusangere

Codename: Shadowborne

Year: Junior

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

 

Current Intramural Team: Grey Squad

 

Current Roommate: Olivia Lord AKA Arrow IV

 

Reflection: Muirne is glad to have made progress developing her powers significantly this past year, learning how to do more than rely on her transformation. She is unsettled by the development of Aoife, but is intending to take it in stride. She has found love and companionship, and overall is very pleased with her previous year.

 

Independent Thinker: Muirne's learned to question the realities of her powers, and has started gaining confidence around her peers. Although she hasn't given it much thought, she is no longer as certain of her future as her attachments now lie on both sides of the Atlantic, and she does not want to abandon either side.

[Tiffany Korta]

NEW STUDENT

Name: Rosalind Sommaripa

Codename: Starshine

Year: Sophomore

Pronouns: She/her

 

Prospective Roommate: Oh wow! I’ve never had to share a room before, um I guess not snoreing. Unless I snore then that would be worse...

 

Goal: I guess helping others, or at least helping others helping others!

 

Favourite Music: I mean I should say something cool or something but really I just like pop music.

[Fox]

RETURNING STUDENT

Name: Natalia Koschei

Codename: Nocturne

Year: Junior

Pronouns: she/her

 

Current Intramural Team: Orange

 

Current Roommate: Kid Celtic (inactive)

 

Reflection: Last year was...productive. Natalia needs to expand her use of her powers, and probably work on her stamina.

 

Independent Thinker: Natalia has met too many people who justify her pre-Claremont world view, and too many people who don't fit it at all. A conundrum.

[EternalPhoenix]

NEW STUDENTS

Name: Wilona Tabana

Codename: Effigy

Year: Sophomore

Pronouns: She/Her

 

Prospective Roommate: Naomi Ellison, Invisigirl

 

Goal: Uh. Considering the plan didn't include schooling of any kind before a few months ago? Honestly, WIlona isn't the kind of person who thinks about the future, plan ahead, or make any substantial goals. She'd like to maintain her independence, and for Naomi to further flourish as a artist. Otherwise she's living day to day, firmly in the present.

 

Favorite Music: I don't follow music, really. But she's a fan of metal and hard rock. No bands in particular because until recently she hasn't been able to listen to anything other than local radio. But if there's heavy guitar and/or harsh vocals, she probably likes it. If said vocalist is a woman, she probably loves it.

 

Name: Naomi Ellison

Codename: Invisigirl

Year: Sophomore

Pronouns: She/Her

 

Prospective Roommate: Wilona Tabana, Effigy

 

Goal: Unlike Wilona, Naomi actually has something going on here. She's an artist right down to her soul. She'd like to share her art with the entire world. Do gallery shows. Maybe get a degree in Art, maybe not. Basically she wants to translate her Twitter artist clout to real world artist clout.

 

Favorite Music: Again, I don't follow music. She's a fan of soft music. Romantic love songs. Easy listening. Classical. She appreciates skill and artistry over marketability. So yes, she follows some indie musicians and she probably wouldn't know anyone from the Billboard Top 100 if she met them on the street.

RETURNING STUDENT

 

Name: Leon Moore

Code Name: Paper

Year: Junior

Pronouns: Him/He

 

Current Intramural Team: Violet

 

Current Roommate: Luke Landers (Nighgtscale)

 

Reflection: Last year showed him that while he can still find his way into trouble, there's something satisfying in playing the hero. He just misses his family.

 

Independent Thinker: Leon had originally thought he'd b.s. his way through school and just return to his brother and sister afterwards, returning to his criminal ways... but now... he's not so sure. The thought of losing his adopted family scares him more then anything, but more and more he finds himself looking at conflicting futures. Hard decisions await him in the not-so-distant future.

[Lone_Star]

RETURNING STUDENT

Name: Elena "El" Maddox

Codename: Outrider

Year: Sophomore

Pronouns: She/Hers

 

Current Intramural Team: Green Team

 

Current Roommate: None. She started partway through the previous academic year and was not assigned a roommate.

 

Reflection: This world is still very strange and confusing to her, but hopefully this year she can learn more about the dimension she's in, and get to know people as closer friends, let her guard down a bit more.

 

Independent Thinker: She is still conflicted about leaving her sister behind in her home dimension, even though at this point she is starting to realize that there was nothing she could have done about it. She has made a few friends here, and hopes to gain a more firm foothold in this world, as there does not seem to be a way back. Hopefully in time she can check on her family back home, but for now she is trying to make the most of it.
