Heroes Aren't Born, They're Made
(Claremont Academy MM2ed/freeform game)

When you were in school, did you ever wish that you could fly or lift
a bus over your head? Maybe super-speed would've really helped you
out during those dodgeball games in phys ed that just NEVER seemed to
end? We all know heat vision could have been helpful when you had to
eat the never-quite-hot-enough mashed potatoes in the cafeteria! If
you can relate to any of this, perhaps it's time that you enrolled
your student at the Claremont Academy.

Located on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and situated just ouside
the modern megatropolis that is Freedom City, TX, the Claremont
Academy specializes in helping youngsters with unusual gifts learn to
control their unique abilities while fostering an environment of
strong moral values in addition to teaching the usual curricula.
Under the watchful eyes of Headmaster Duncan McNeil and his staff of
top-flight educators, today's superhuman teens will develop important
life skills and lifelong friendships, in addition to discovering the
many facets of their talents and abilities in the Academy's cutting
edge facilities.

We're currently looking for at least 8 (though we're ready and more
than willing to accomodate up to 20!) motivated writers to join us in
creating a long-lasting and highly entertaining campaign. If you've
played other super-school games before and were disappointed by the
lack of action, don't despair! We promise that every character will
get the chance to go "on missions" and there will be plenty of
excitement to go around, in addition to a dynamic character
advancement system that actually allows you to improve your powers
and character in-game without waiting and wrangling endlessly
for/with moderators or admins. Although characters will be generated
via Mutants and Masterminds 2nd Edition rules, if you don't have any
experience with the setting, apply anyways! The game is largely going
to have a freeform feel to it; at no time will any player be required
to roll dice or crunch numbers. Not familiar with the Freedom City
setting? Never even heard of it? No worries! There's a bevy of files
on the site that you can peruse at your leisure and that will immerse
you in the setting.

Please note, however, that this is not an X-Men or DC comics game, and
any characters from either comic universe will NOT be accepted. It's
not that we don't love the comics, we just want to see something
different. Similarly, you won't run into the problem that some sims
have with five characters having similar, if not totally duplicate,
powers, because we pride originality above all else. You don't have
to feel limited to playing mutants, either, although they're
generally the most prevalent. If you want to play a teenage cyborg, a
magic-wielding Goth, superbly trained athlete with a nose for
detective work, etc, that's fine, as long as you make your character
a teenager between the ages of 13-18 (in the case of aliens, their
biological equivalent!). If you're interested, pop in on our site at
http://z6.invisionfree.com/Claremont_Academy or send an email to me,
John, at xpg_pincushion@yahoo.com or Binx at maxlog_888@yahoo.com.
We're waiting to hear from you!
