WIP IN QUESTION: jackdaw

i'll touch on the infamous academy in question w/ some mentions of world building of a world i haven’t fully fleshed out yet :0

keep reading for content below!

DAPT Academy

The academy — Deerfoot Academy for Powered Training — is the nation’s most critically-acclaimed and easily the most heralded training facility that doubles as an education hub for every up and coming powered individual that’s usually coming out of post-18 study. 

It was founded by Alessandar Deerfoot, the city’s longest-standing mayor before his retirement a few years back. His recent death was a shock to many, and only a few weeks before Callisto’s arrival. 

It was a venture, at least 6 decades back, between the conservative government at the time, and various affluent and aristocratic investors with more than enough money to spend on both their future bloodline success and the city’s future. Selfishly, obviously.

The investors change over the years, a sort of secret society without so much the secret, but one of the the most intriguing — as per their donation records — to note is the Fairchild Family. 

A lot of high-ranking heroes work prominently in the city where the main DAPT campus is based in. Therefore, a good chunk of them hold ranks within the academy as instructors, tutors and everything in-between. The reason for that is the city is the capital, and the statistics released in the past three years determined that the majority of nefarious and ne'er-do-well villains get the most up to no good there! So there’s ease of access whilst scheduled in to train the students or holding seminars, as well as safeguarding the next generation.

Whilst facilities like these (because Deerfoot is not alone, there are at least five well known academies across the country!) are mostly received well, there’s a good chunk of the population that argues that exploiting newly-turned adults into the government’s personal registered army is morally corrupt. This is actually a key point in the nation’s political battle between the two opposing parties, because superpowered individuals are so tied to modern society in this world!!!

There is a barrier of magick installed within the main entrance gates and the territory perimeter by the current Headmistress and Chairwoman of DAPT. With her powered tied to something akin to an eidetic memory, the barrier recognises students and other people relevant to the academy that she is aware of. The magick can ebb and flow depending on whether her bonds are held up, and because of that she is at the forefront of every student acceptance meeting, every hiring of instructors, down to the wire because her magick has to register them as people of importance. (Trouble can arise when unscheduled journalists come snooping about.)
