CHARACTER CREATION
[READING IS ONLY COMPULSORY IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS]
GROUP PREMISE
Your character is a teenager [15-18] invited to attend Nielsen Military Academy, an institute with longstanding academic standards and military prestige. A full boarding scholarship has been offered. Upon arrival, you have been told that you were actually selected to participate in a dangerous mission, and that you have the power to change the future.
After being given the option to leave the school and return to a normal life, you have chosen to stay.
GETTING
STARTED
There are two categories that you may apply under, STEELHEART or BLOODHEART.
All characters must look human, and be at least 50% human in construction.
As a general guideline if a person is over 30% android or they have nanobot or implant technology in their system they are considered steelhearted. Most of this will be due to treatment of illness/injury/disability. I will elaborate a little more below about each category.
Fudging your science is ok! Example: A blood-hearted character who can breathe fire, dragon-style. This trait can also be seen in a steelhearted character, who can condense waste gas in a mechanical tongue and expel it as flame.
QUICK GUIDE
The side of the student body with prosthetic/nanobot parts, whose power mainly comes from technology. Steelhearted applicants look outwardly human.
At the extreme side of the scale, include realistic androids like Bailey Rose.
tl;dr: the SCIENCE side of the coin
SMALL TIMELINE FOR STEELHEARTED CHARACTERS
MAKING A BOT
[despite the note] steelhearted members will be mostly human in makeup and 100% human in appearance.
There can be enhanced senses or heightened combat ability, generally speaking a steelhearted student will be more physically resilient where they have prosthetic involvement.
They are more receptive to Lane’s time travel and so have more power after the jump.
Struggle comparatively when sent to the past; actually cannot always travel to the past.
think: fma automail and alchemic science but upgraded for our time period; nanobot things are also ok
The steelhearts’ overseer will be Lane Nielson, the headmaster.
MEDIA
FOR THOUGHT
most steelhearted characters will be similar to the bloodhearted mentioned below [BNHA, x-men] but with pseudo science behind their strength
some series good to mull over [Nier Automata, Detroit: Become Human - my personal go to is Time of Eve] - should be noted that steelhearts and androids look outwardly human
QUICK GUIDE
The side of the student body that are more traditionally human, with powers seemingly developed due to the fallen meteorite [re: the Divide]
Some students were invited not for their power, but for their future [or current] political/social influence.
tl;dr: the MAGIC side of the coin
SMALL TIMELINE FOR BLOODHEARTED CHARACTERS
PROBABLY NOT
A BOT
Generally speaking are more receptive to Anthea’s body aging power and so fairly stable in their older bodies. When under the influence of Lane’s time control, they also travel to the past with more ease. They cannot travel to certain parts of the future.
think: latent teenage bnha quirks with a smidge of x-men; “normal” humans count under this category
The bloodhearts’ overseer will be Anthea Rommedahl, the vice principal.
Certain bloodline abilities may be distributed via wildcard after applications close.
MEDIA
FOR THOUGHT
for bloodhearts I would think about BNHA and x-men as mentioned -- powers and their use, their position against the greater world and how they're sometimes perceived
the series Charlotte (where a passing comet causes preadolescent children to develop supernatural powers) involves time travel to save lives and is a well-matched point of reference for sleeping powers in teens

ACADEMY LIFE
NIELSEN MILITARY ACADEMY
Nielsen Military Academy, known as a prestigious boarding school with a robust training programme and strict entry requirements. Doors were shut to students for the past decade, but has now opened for enrollment with Lane as the new Headmaster. It is built to comfortably house at least a thousand students (but upon its reopening will house far less).
The school has many facilities but - after several years off the radar - is considered fairly old-fashioned. For us, I guess it's still pretty high-tech.
Location-wise it occupies a mountainous area with buildings located underground and in the hollowed out land of the closest range. The current student body occupy the main campus, which has been maintained. Some of the restricted areas have fallen out of use and students are not allowed to trespass.
It is revealed upon arrival that a regular curriculum’s been partly botched in favour of Lane’s specialized missions and future-changing efforts.
However, there are classes and you can still get an education here.

It is quite cold throughout the year, though it only snows during the winter.

AREAS FOR ROLEPLAY
apologies that there's no [decent] map yet
MAIN BUILDING
F6 > offices and administration
F6 > living quarters; everyone lives on the same level
F5 > simlab; other datalabs, mission hall
F4 > infirmary, pharmacy, repairs
F3 > library, study halls, classrooms
F2 > gymnasium, training areas, indoor pool
F1 > kitchens and mess hall, auditorium
> all underground areas are [restricted]
Dormitories [living quarters] are divided by gender with mixed year levels.
Outside there are shooting ranges and weaponry storage; outdoor training areas and observation decks; a few greenhouses, garages and more storage areas. Many of the outdoor areas are not well-manned, but have androids tending to them now.
SIMULATION LAB -- for acclimatizing to using the future body, a VR system where students can go during self-study time or after training classes.
When a student’s future form is unlocked, you may use the simlab freely for anything [there will be prompts available]
SHOP IS CURRENTLY OPEN
Members are able to purchase items in the journal below with currency earned through activity [RP, artwork].
There are two currencies that will be used in the group.
The first is CREDIT; credits will be gained through group activity and can be used to buy store items.
The second is COMPASSION; I’ll tell you what this can be used for later.

STEEL
VS
NOT STEEL
Steelheart and Bloodheart are unofficial terms coined by Anthea and not real school divisions; the number of each may not be equal. Because the student population is so few they’re usually just grouped as recruits by high school level. Lane may refer to himself as being steel. They aren't regarded as derogatory or rude, but not everyone likes them either.
Divisions may be implemented later.
WILDCARD
An option to have my involvement in your character’s building and potential future development; it may be anything - an item, a power, experience, mission, anything.
Not all wildcards are helpful, some are mundane or possibly set you back!
PAST TO
FUTURE
GUIDANCE
tl;dr: age in years and body, but not much else, expect to be messed around with
In order to time travel, it is established that a body aged between 20 and 40 is the most stable. In order to achieve this, Lane and Anthea work together.
The aged up “time travel capable body” is a direct reflection of what powers the body carries currently, but amplified. While it will add to the students’ strength, the real purpose of the age-up is for stable time travel.
Mentally there is some natural maturation, but the change will not be significant enough to change personality as the age up will not come with any memories or experiences -- mostly an older and sturdier body.
