Here's the preliminary writeup on a new VG we've just formed over on Justice server, counterpart to the Little Legends. "Dark Heart High" is a lengthy fanfic in a shojo evil-parody mode, about a seemingly ordinary young girl who gets transferred to a school for up and coming young villains. We are hoping to recreate some of this mood in roleplay and fiction in a Rogue Isles setting with our Satellite Campus.
Dark Heart High
Netherworld Preparatory Institute for the Universal Propagation of Evil
(Rogue Isles Satellite Campus)
Dark Heart High is one of the multiverse's most acclaimed academies for the development and preparation of up-and-coming young villains. It offers instruction in all the fields relating to this topic. Popular courses include Basic Villainy, Deathtrap Construction, Minion Relations, and Accounting. Its principal, Headmaster Hamaji Amakusa, is one of the most renowned masters of the art of villainry to ever live.
The main campus is located, of course, in a dimensional analogue of the Japanese city of Tokyo. Nearby are several realted schools, including Evil Tech (a popular vocational school for minions), Sakura Art (catering to the Magical Girl cliques), Knight School (primarily male heroes such as Kamen and ninja), and Zeros Academy (whose students maintain strict neutrality between heroes and villains).
In 2005, however, recognizing the needs of this particular dimensional cluster, Principal Amakusa took steps to open Dark Heart High's unique educational experience to the many in need of it among the youth of the Rogue Isles. Now serving over two hundred students from around the isles, including such famous names as Patricio Marcone and Desiree Falco, it is one of the pre-eminent educational institutes in the region.
The current faculty includes: (Note that these are NPC's, free to be referred to in roleplay or fiction)
Headmistress Alicia deWinter, administrator of the Rogue Isles Satellite Campus. Headmistress deWinter is an able manipulator, an accomplished sorceress, and a genius in selecting possible star students to undertake "class projects" out among the populace of the Isles. Like most of her staff and students, she is a thorough sociopath, but with her centuries of experience at studying the human condition she is able to feign a pleasant demeanor quite well. She also holds an Arbiter's rank in Arachnos, though the means by which she attained this is unknown. Rumor has it that she is either a descendant of, or the same individual as, the Lady deWinter of Dumas' Musketeer tales.
Professor Annette Foxcourt's name is a corruption of the French "Faux Coeur", which means "False Heart", and is an apt enough nomen for this instructress in the fine arts of Basic and Advanced Villainy. One of the most popular instructors at the school, every student has her classes for at least two years while attending the Satellite Campus. She is young and beautiful and intends to remain that way forever - several students who have attempted to act on the student-teacher crushes she encourages have vanished after a visit to her home for "personal tutoring".
Hassan ibn Jamal al'Libakha, the Physical Education teacher, is a swarthy, wiry man of considerable combat experience. He provides the students their primary education in fighting techniques and tactics, in addition to helping them keep physically fit. He is a hard taskmaster with little tolerance for slackness. Previous to his employ with Dark Heart High, he was a training officer for Libyan dictator Moammar Qaddafi's corps of "amazon" bodyguards, and enjoys a certain reputation for "stamina" among the female student body.
Professor Heinrich Jaeger teaches Shop, Deathtrap Construction, and Lair Architecture. The latter is a popular elective among seniors. His courses focus on "hands-on" work, including live demonstrations of student projects. He is a big fan of the classics, including spiked pits, death rays, and laser grids.
Recent guest lecturers have included Karl Rove (topic: Advanced Villainy, interactions with government officials), Hillary Clinton (topic: Advanced Villainy, taking political office for yourself), George Soros (topic: Accounting, use of financial manipulations to take control of large organizations), and Michael Moore (topic: Public Relations, how to spin a media campaign).
Students of any origin and archetype are welcome. School uniforms are semi-optional - many students prefer to customize them with their own additions.
The official female uniform consists of a black miniskirt, black shoes with blood-red socks, a blood-red blouse with black sailor-type collar, and a grey neckerchief. An official logo pin consisting of a golden horned skull is also recommended. Winter uniform removes the sailor collar and adds a black jacket with the horned skull logo on a breast patch.
Male uniforms share the same color pattern, with trousers instead of skirts (obviously), and the jacket year-round.
(ETA: Spelling correction, uniform summary, male uniform added)--
"I give you the beautiful... the talented... the tirelessly atomic-powered...
