This is the lore thread for Power Holders Academy. It will be updated when I feel it is appropriate, here is what I have NOW.
The dark realm has been around for as long as the universe has, however, it was not known about until the 1600's. Etiam was a mystery, even to those of the dark realm, but those inhabiting the realm of darkness realized what it could do. Since the first appearance, the inhabitants of the dark realm noticed it made the barrier between the realm they resided, and the light realm weaker. Some of the dark realms were even able to escape into the light realm but were exponentially weaker. Only one ever returned to the dark realm, and he'd become king. He'd found a connection between etiam, the power holders, and their realm. Etiorite was what their realm harbored most of, as a visible mineral. They realized that their population matched the Earth's, and began using their influence on separate stones of Etiorite to cause nightmares and influence not just Holders, but regular humans as well. This is because Etiam appearing in the light realm affected regular minerals and gems such as topaz, peridot, ruby, sapphire, emerald, onyx, opal, etc. Their influence on humans was very little but power holders can be much more easily manipulated.
Power Holders Academy was founded in the late 1800's after the government discovered the existence of Power Holders in the 1750's. The reason the Academy was founded was that it was a deal with the first Power Holder known to the earth, James Gardenitodis, who refused to allow Power Holders to be used as "secret weapons" the government said they were a potential threat, and that's when the Academy was suggested. It was agreed that this is where they would stay and would have their own missions assigned by the Academy.
The leveling system was developed soon after 1863 when it became harder to predict how powerful someone was just by looking at what age their powers came in.The leveling system is as follows. The person with the highest etiorite levels was at a 100 level. The lowest was a 1. The looked at many other power holders and none exceeded the level of 100. They noticed the most similarities in the people who had levels 1 - 39 so they were dubbed the level 1 holders. People who were levels 40-69 were level 2 holders, and people who were levels 70-100 were level 3 three holders.
Zero, he wasn't known by any other name. Not in life, not in death. He had been at the academy since birth and knew more than anyone there. His etiorite levels were never recorded, as he had left the academy before they could. He figured out the light and dark realms would clash at the time of the equinox and went to stop. His body was destroyed in the process but he was able to transfer any consciousness he had into his watch. The watch resided where his body had been and one of the other power holders discovered it. He worked long hours to create the system and transferred the conscious to it. Thus Zero lived on.
The four core classes are:
History of Power Holders
Healing
Hand-to-Hand Combat
Portals To Other Areas and their Capabilities
Why these classes?
History is important to learn from mistakes, healing is very important as you never know when one of your colleagues may take a ht in battle, those with high and low etiorite levels would need to practice hand-to-hand combat as while their powers are fall backs with those who have high etiorite levels, there are some things that can and will neutralize those powers, and portals are an absolute need to know with power holders, their capabilities aside from teleportation, however, are very different and would need to be discussed.
