The Arcadian Academy was founded in 1971 by Doctor Nathaniel Barnes as a private school, specializing in Medical Science. The Academy was a first rate school and produced some of the finest scientific minds of its generation. In 1986, 15 years after its founding, the school changed its purpose and started training mutants in the use of their abilities. Dr Barnes had discovered that his son Paul, was a mutant and started to train his son to develop his powers. Paul Barnes was one of San Francisco's first superheroes and fought crime in the city for a number of years before being killed by a mysterious new supervillian. Crushed by the loss of his son, and of his grand-daughter (than aged 8 and blaming her grandfather for the loss of her father), Nathaniel swore to keep his son's memory alive and to continue to train mutants in their gifts. The Academy closed its doors to the vast majority of its students and started training a select few only, these students became the first group of superheroes trained by the academy, and now 11 years later, these original class members have returned to the school in the role of teachers, training the next generation of superheroes to use their gifts wisely and to defend a world which despises anyone different. Original Class Alpha Team Beta Team Gamma Team Team Epsilon Next Generation The Muses The Cadre Blackstar Other Notable People TimeLine & History Resources & Equipment Roleplay VersionTrained by Nathaniel Barnes to be the first of his Hero Teams, Mirage, Panacea, IceHawk, Spirit & Hellfire become the first incarnation of the arcadian academy. Mirage is now the headmaster of the school, having taken over after the death of Dr. Barnes, and he is aided in his teaching by Panacea and IceHawk, both now lecturers at the academy and personal trainers of the Alpha and Beta teams. Spirit was slain by the super villianess, Venom and Hellfire has retired the hero game and is trying to atone for a fatal mistake he made during his time with the academy The first of the new generation of the Arcadian Academy, this team of five young men and women have been personally trained by the experienced hero IceHawk and turned into an elite military style unit. his group consists of Helix, Static, Inferno, Wyld and Songbird The second class of students trained by Panacea, these heroes have been trained as a stealth and recon unit, using old style heroics and guerilla warfare style tactics as opposed to the more disciplined training of the Alpha Team. This group consists of Shade, Weave, Midnight, Fey and Synch This group is the newest member of the academy and are at present in their first year of training, unlike the Alpha and Beta teams, they are not ready for active duty and are currently being trained by a joint effort of all three members of the teaching staff. This group consists of 5 teenagers going by the names Feral, Magma, Shear, Force and Nightmare. This group is the Black Ops unit of the Arcadian Academy, they are under the direct command of Donald Henderson through his Assistant Alfred Blake, for security reason, non of Epsilon Team have ever met Donald or even been to the Academy, all correspondence is done through Alfred. Team Epsilon do the jobs that cant be undertaken by the other groups, whether because of lack of expertise or due to morals. Epsilon Team perform their jobs with the upmost of skill, whether that job is spying and Industrial Espionage to Professional Wetworking. This group consists of 5 Members: Veil, Indigo, Jolt, Void and Brawl In the distant future, the Arcadian academy still stands and is being manned by the now experienced alpha and beta members, lead by Inferno, the new generation of superheroes are the children of the old academy. They are Winter, Black Jade, Shadowbeast, Decibel and Psyclone. In the future of the Arcadian Academy and before the time of the Next Generation, 4 teenage girls were found and trained by Weave as an elite spy unit, loosely affiliated with the academy. These 4 girls become the information gatherers, referred to as the Muses, they are Blue Light, Prism, ........., and ......... . Before the Next Generation and after the Reaver Incident, Shade became Ravenshadow and went solo as a Vigilante, after many adventures he started to form his own group, the Cadre. This loosely formed team of like minded vigilantes were trained by Ravenshadow to use the night as a weapon and to strike fear into the hearts of criminals. They are Shroud, Shadowhawk, Redwing and Crimson Cowl Every team of superheroes needs an enemy and the Academy is no exception, over the years they have faced countless foes and villians but on-one has proved more of a thorn in their side than Blackstar, formed as an evil version of the Academy, this group of mutant terrorists have the financial backing of The Polaris Organisation (a Business conglomerate and front for The Sisterhood) and are renowned within the criminal world as a force to be feared. Lead by the BloodLord, their Membership includes Venom, Deadwing, Skull, Haze and Balrog. No School or team of heroes can functions without trained staff to help them, in the academy, they have the very best, from Sarah Whitney (Worldclass chef and housekeeper), Alfred Blake (utterly fearless butler and personal servant to Donald Henderson), to Anna & Megan Saunders (Chambermaids at the academy). Paul Barnes is the son of Doctor Nathaniel Barnes and the father of Alexia Barnes, the woman who would become Venom.
