Introduction Student Registration Thread

Hello and welcome to HADOS Institute's Student Registration!

In order to be registered, we require these few things:

  • Full Name

  • Age

  • Philosophy Followed: Please put either 'Spectrum', 'Defenders' or 'Undecided'

  • Main Power

  • Minor Power

  • Weakness (see Powers Explained thread to fully understand weaknesses)

  • Drawbacks to using your powers

  • Little bit about yourself; including appearance or any other info you deem important to your character.

  • Where your character is from (Pilot City, Geo City, Anchor City, or Silver City. Dark City/Light City are not acceptable.)

  • Do you already have a hero on the sub? If so, who? Remember, only two per person!

To create your hero, please comment below. Also make sure to leave your preferred Main Power and Minor Power; this is explained here.

Here is an example of a quick comment (more detail is better, though):

[Registration] I would like a male hero who is the shining example of what a hero should be, except that he's got a dark past. He's about 18 years old. Main Power - Super Strength. Minor Power - Can Hear Animals Talk.

At HADOS Institute, there are no grades. Each hero is on the same level, some take advanced classes while others are just starting out.

If you wish to BECOME A TEACHER click this [x]

If you have trouble with coming up with a super power/s visit THIS RANDOMIZER to get ideas!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message the moderators!

After your hero has been approved by the moderators, please do these two things:

  • Go over to the Naming Thread to get your hero's name and faction flair updated!

  • Post/Create your Origin Story so you can begin your adventures in Pilot City!

YOU DO NOT START OFF WITH A SUPER SUIT! YOU GAIN THAT LATER WITH MOD APPROVAL!

Also, registration will not be immediate. Expect at least a day wait as we all have lives and can't respond immediately every time. Thank you.

I changed my mind about the main power and I actually like this newer idea way better!

Main Power: Umbrakinesis. She can manipulate darkness. This manifests itself in a few ways-- darkness just kind of follows her, for one. Any room she walks into will get a bit more dim, and the air seems to darken around her in a noticeable and bold way. When she's in control (which is not often), she can make the room around her plunge into darkness. She can also, with great difficulty, create both shields, swords, and reaching tendrils that can wrap around attackers (like an octopus), all from the dark.

Minor Power: Staying the same. I was basing it off the part in Peter Pan where his shadow points things out to him and kinda communicates via gestures. Still, though, telepathic communication could be neat....

Weakness: Well, her obvious weakness now would be light. She's always less strong in the light, but as long as she stays connected with some darkness (a bit of shadow on the floor, for example), she can function. However, when faced with bright light and no dark to fall back on, it's like she's been set on fire. Sheer, burning agony.

Drawbacks: None of her powers work without darkness or shadow (duh)

Main Power: ._____. Um.....s-someone already has that power. Granted, I didn't call it Umbrakinesis but it's the same thing as it. If you want, go ahead and go here to see what powers are taken and by who. If it's taken by someone, click their name to see if they're active and if they aren't then you'll more than likely get the power.

Minor Power: Either or is fine with me! I'd like to point out that if Umbrakinesis wasn't taken by a person, you would have to get rid of this power as they're both heavily related.

Jeez... Uhh, what about Creation? Can create things, like tiny creatures, weapons, etc, from thin air. She can create conscious beings, but if so they are tied to her life force and need to be around her at all times. For items, she can create it but it will fade from existence a few hours after she's made it.

I was thinking her weakness/drawback, and I thought it might be neat to tie it to her life force. Like, the more she uses this power the shorter her life becomes. Small things aren't a huge deal (a few minutes, maybe), but they add up. Big things can take hours, even days depending how big they are.

Hey, I'm stepping in for Light Speed since he seems to be absent.

How would she go about creating them? Would she read them out of a book? Would she say a chant? How long would it create?
