Basic Bases

Virtue Point is a small island that can be found in the Long Island sound and is approximately eight miles long and four miles wide with roughly thirty-five miles of coastline. It was originally found by English Colonists aboard The Virtue, a large trading ship. The island held a small town for early years, though was burned down after the revolutionary war. It wasn’t fully established again until the early sixteen hundreds when it acted as the home to a small port town. In the early twentieth century a large portion of the land was bought up by the Northwell family, a wealthy family who owned a series of trading ships that imported many goods to America.  

Virtue Point, at that point, was handed down the family line, all of which followed in their descendants’ path in trade, though also expanding into advocates of the Meta community and producing specialized products for Metas. Eventually, the Northwell family managed to buy up the rest of island and were its sole inhabitants and a small community of the family’s helpers and groundskeepers.

The island, however, would soon serve a new purpose. While the family’s manor still stands the island has been donated to a small conglomerate of heroes who have now repurposed the island to be the grounds for a school and training course for heroes, as well as the headquarters of a department which deploys heroes to different dangerous sites across the world. The academy is now known as Vigil Academy, School for Heroes.  


Virtue Point is a rather known location, a large and sizable locations, and the building of Vigil Academy has only bolstered its popularity. The school’s colors are a deep blue, a steely white, and a bright yellow and its sigil is a white and yellow V. On the sizable island there are seven places of note, all of which are important to the school’s functioning. These locations include: the student dorms, the academy grounds, Vigil’s Watch, the Virtue Arena, the Northwell manor house, the training grounds, and the power station.

Student Dorms: Comprised of two man buildings, the first, second, and third year dorm, and the fourth year and up dorm. Each dorm house can hold around three hundred and fifty people each, and each is equipped with dining halls, a few different lounges, two different gyms, a medical department, a security department, and escape tunnels.

The Academy Grounds: A large building where most of the classes are held! It is the largest building on the island and considered the safest location next to the dorm houses. The academy is equipped with over eighty classrooms, twenty lecture halls, three mechanic shops, four laboratories, three libraries, three large gymnasiums, an auditorium, a track and field, facilities for teachers, a security and medical department, and sizable escape tunnels.

Vigil’s Watch: The hero department and deployment facility on the island built atop a cove. Those who graduate the school have an option, if they do well, to become members of Vigil. The building is equipped with vehicle garage, a monitoring system, personalized rooms for the members, an armory, a mechanic shop, a lab, a conference room, an observatory, and a lounge.

Virtue Arena: A large arena where events are held, both for sporting, welcoming and closing ceremonies, and can act as an emergency evacuation area if they need perform an evacuation of a highly populated area. The arena can fit over sixty thousand people and its roof can open and close. The central field can open and raise up a stone arena for sparring events.

Northwell Manor: The Northwell’s private estate where its sole heir resides. Mr. Northwell acts as the main source of income for Vigil Academy, both as a donator and promoter for other sources of donations, being a man of many connections. He often hosts private parties for the upper classmen, private donators, and high-class heroes.  

Old Virtue Training Grounds: The original town that was built on the island, however it has been repurposed to act as a sort of training ground for students to practice field work as heroes. Many of the buildings are either empty or are equipped with “obstacles” to help students prepare for intense situations.

Power Station: The power station acts as the island’s main source of power, though it uses an unlisted source of power. While all the buildings have backup power units, this station keeps the island running and functional.

The island is equipped with several different utilities to ensure the students are receiving the best education and are kept safe from all sorts of threats. Vigil’s Watch also holds several different utilities to arm and deploy heroes, as well as monitor the safety of the world.

School’s Staff
Hero Staff: As one would assume, the staff is comprised of several heroes who are either still active in duty or are retired. Both active and retired heroes act as teachers. Their main job is teach students how to properly be heroes in the many societies of the world.

General Staff: In addition to the hero staff there are several general education teachers, janitorial staff, medical staff, a small department of security officers, groundskeepers, and a culinary staff.

Curriculum
The school offers general education, but also several classes specially made to teach students how to be heroes. These classes include:

General Heroing: The general rules and practices of heroes.

Laws and Regulations: The different laws and regulations that each nation/region has imposed on heroes.

Combat Training: Improving one’s fighting abilities as well as minimizing collateral damage.  

Hero Edicate: How to properly act as a hero and how to address civilians

Advanced Heroing: Further rules and practices of heroes.

Profiting and Advertisement: How to make money as a hero and how to advertise yourself.

Magical Studies: Classed dedicated to those with magical abilities and how to engage enemies using magic.

Hero Crafting: Crafting your hero outfit and gear/gadgets to use on the field.

Ability Improvement: How to improve abilities and cover up weaknesses.

Disaster Control: How to properly disarm bombs, evil contraptions, perform medical treatment on civilians, and so forth.

Sidekick Program: Fourth year and up only, can get direct field work as acting as a sidekick to heroes.

Steller Watch: How to deal with threats and problems that originate from the cosmos.

Cooperation: Working with other heroes, local police departments, and everything in between.

Villain Studies: Learn about villains, how to converse and talk down, and rules for general engagement.

School Defense’s
Security: In addition to many heroes (about thirty or so) who are staffed at the island the grounds are also patrolled by robotic security units. The robots vary from small drones to monitor the grounds, deployment units to stop rule breakers and report to teachers, and advanced security if the island is attacked by villains.

Escape Tunnels: All the buildings are connected through a series of tunnels which lead to several different exit points around the island allowing for escape if the island is invaded. At the end of each tunnel are means of transportation to escape, boats, small subs, and a few small aircrafts.

Barrier Field: From the main academy building a large barrier can be emitted around the island which acts as a physical barrier against assaults against the island. The barrier can resist prolonged missile fire, powerful energy blasts, and magical attacks. The barrier extends to the edge of the woods before the beaches of the island, and (while this not publicly known) has a few gaps in it, namely around the escape tunnels as to not block the students’ escape. With the power provided, the barrier can be maintained for a week before the power station shuts down.

Vigil’s Watch Utilities
Highspeed Deployment Vehicles: Several vehicles, specially designed, are stationed at Vigil’s Watch. The vehicles include three aircrafts, all of which are able to travel from the New York area to Japan in the matter of eight hours, five large boats specially made for coastal and sea rescues, five land transportation, intense terrain vehicles, made to transport heroes over rough terrains and evacuate civilians in danger zones, and the Starchaser.

Monitoring Station: A virtual globe of sorts, a projection of earth that provides digital information over selected areas which will provide news and updates on the status of said areas, namely cities. The station also acts the communication hub of the island, the main method leaders of the world can reach out and request help.

Starchaser: A spacecraft able to breach the atmosphere and traverse the cosmos at impressive speeds. The ship is equipped with laser weaponry to engage potential threats that come from beyond and shielding to defend against assaults against the craft. The ship can hold a crew of twenty or so individuals.



The school was crafted with the purpose of providing the young metas of the world the chance to learn how to become good and proper heroes in the changing world. The school stands for all that is good and true, and defending those who cannot. Further, Vigil’s Watch was made to enforce these ideals and put words into practice, providing the world with an organization willing to be heroes and put down empowered menaces that threaten the world’s and its inhabitants’ safety.
