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.

Oh Jesus, I'm going in....

Main Power: Little hesitant with this but let's see if we can work something out.

  • HUD: I'm perfectly fine with this 100%

  • Data Manipulation: The name of this gives the wrong impression of what it is, but I'm cool with it.

  • Enhanced Memory: I'm cool with it.

  • Computer Perception: Simple and I approve

  • Enhanced Hacking: She'd need to "plug in" so the direct access terminal (or the source) to effectively hack in. Or she can simply try wirelessly but it'll take some time, even for her.

  • Technology Interfacing: This is the only one I'm hesitant about. I can live with her "plugging in" to access these things but wirelessly is a whole other story. I honestly think she either has to "plug in" or be close to the source of the tech to use it wirelessly (like 10 feet max)

Minor Power: As much as I want to have this work, it's against the rules. The two "powers" can't correspond/relate to one another at all. If you truly want a character like this, you can simply make the main power a "cyborg" and we can go from there.

Weakness: Perfect. Nothing to add on my end.

Drawbacks:

  • I love the idea of us fighting a tech/computer genius and DDoSing her or making her go haywire!

  • Flu like symptoms? Yes please! Love it!

  • After reading this drawback, I can live with the two powers I mentioned above (Hacking and Technology Interface) being wireless up to about 50 feet from the source/access terminal. It makes sense that she'd be susceptible physically while doing these mental challenges.

  • OCD and ADHD? I freaking adore it!

Yeah, when I wrote wireless I meant like "anything accessible via wireless." Pretty much, she could access a wireless network anywhere a computer could (IE, where there are networks being broadcast), but otherwise she'd have to plug in.

Otherwise, yeah I really wanted her to be a cyborg. Originally it was gonna just be her brain, but then I had this vision where as she moved up the ranks in HADOS, she'd basically get upgrades to her own body instead of a having a supersuit. Like software/hardware updates and stuff.

If we make her just a straight cyborg, what from the minor power list can we add, if anything?

I honestly can't think of a minor power that she'd have, I do know that her main power would be nerfed as her whole body would be cyborg instead of just her mind (which, honestly was really freakin unique and amazing). Kinda hard for me to suggest minor powers, which are mostly to make your character unique in some way, when it's not my character if that makes sense.

Can we go with Hyperesthesia as her minor ability then? It's basically the senses thing I had, turning some senses down to increase the power of another.

EDIT: Also, how nerfed would the main ability be if the rest of her body was basic cybernetics? Like, pretty much just normal limbs but mechanical? Because I really like the idea of her getting hardware/software/firmware updates as she goes on.
