|
You are standing at the gates of the Phaeton Project, the school founded by the members of the Genesis Squadron. |
| File:LoH Cover.jpg | They were the world's first team of super powered emergents brought together, under the leadership of Aloysius Zeroth, to save the world before you were even born. |
|
|
Now they save the world on a daily basis training Emergents like you, people born with limitless potential to do great things ... or great harm if left unharnessed. The school will help you hone your newly emerging powers and to be ready for any situation that might call for you to use them. |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Fire Sculpture|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Are you ready to discover if you want to sculpt anything you can imagine from unbridled energy... |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Training Regimen|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | ...flex muscles 10 times that of an Olympic athlete... |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Faster than the Eye|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | ...crack the sound barrier in your running shoes... |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Puppet Strings|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | ...or access the unused recesses of the mind to unleash arcane and mystical abilities. |
|
|
The first day at a new school is always a challenge and students who can smash through walls or toss balls of fire aren't going to make this any easier. You don't want to just stand around; someone might mistake you for a villain and hurl a bus at you. It's time to get started... |
Entrance
| Beginning of Area: Entrance | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Slow Burn|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Professor Helios: I am Professor Helios. All incoming students have to spar on their first day. It's the best way to observe your abilities and gauge your potential. |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Slow Burn|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Professor Helios: Don't worry, nobody will get hurt too badly... If you don't understand something the automated training assistant will give you advice. |
| Beginning of Fight: Shy Freshman (1) | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Shy Freshman|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Shy Freshman: A fight? Okay...If the professor insists... |
| Beginning of Fight: Shy Freshman (2) | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Shy Freshman|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Shy Freshman: Again? This isn't good for my self-esteem! |
Hoops
| Beginning of Fight: Eager Freshman (1) | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Eager Freshman|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Eager Freshman: Yay! New competition! The more we practice, the better we'll get! |
| Beginning of Fight: Eager Freshman (2) | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Eager Freshman|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Eager Freshman: Come on! The professors are watching! This is our chance to impress them! |
Let's Play
| Beginning of Fight: Fast Learner (1) | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Fast Learner|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Fast Learner: They want us to spar? Sorry -- guess they think taking a loss will be good for you. |
| Beginning of Fight: Fast Learner (2) | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Fast Learner|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Fast Learner: You got lucky that time! Let's go again! |
Physical Education
| Beginning of Area: Physical Education | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Slow Burn|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Professor Helios: We have learned something about all of you. Now it is time for you to learn a little bit about the different teachers you will have the chance to study with. |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Docile Daddy-O-Bot|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Professor Helios: "We are going to fight against a docile Daddy-OBot that we captured and reprogrammed for training purposes." "I know it looks scary but just imagine if it was animated by the consciousness of Daddy-O with an IQ off the charts." |
| Beginning of Fight: Docile Daddy-O-Bot (1) | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Fire Sculpture|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Professor Helios: Forgive me if I sound immodest but I am the most powerful Firesculptor. That is what my students are called because we can bend fire to our will. |
| End of Fight: Docile Daddy-O-Bot (1) | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Slow Burn|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Professor Helios: As you can see I was able to do considerably more damage than you were thanks to my Firesculpting badge. Become a Firesculptor and you will be able to deal more damage ... even twice as much ... than your classmates. |
| Beginning of Fight: Docile Daddy-O-Bot (2) | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Billy Stopless|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Billy Stopless: Heya! I am Billy Stopless and my students are known as The Non-Stops, the fastest moving class in the school.
Let's dismantle this 'bot and I will tell you why the chicken crossed the road. |
| End of Fight: Docile Daddy-O-Bot (2) | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Billy Stopless|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Billy Stopless: My Non-Stop badge meant I was able to deploy multiple threats at one time. I hit it from the left, and the right, and the front, and behind ... all at the same time!
Chicken crossed the road because it did not join the Non-Stops and couldn't warp across it like we can. |
| Beginning of Fight: Docile Daddy-O-Bot (3) | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Training Regimen|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Moxie: I am sure you already know that I am Moxie, probably the strongest person on the planet. My students are called Strongharms and if you come to study with me I will have you bench-pressing box cars by recess. |
| End of Fight: Docile Daddy-O-Bot (3) | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Training Regimen|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Moxie: Thanks to my Strongharm badge I was able to not only deal extra damage but also absorb the brunt of whatever that stupid hunk of metal threw at me. Do you know what the other classes can't do? Take a punch or an oncoming bus. |
| Beginning of Fight: Docile Daddy-O-Bot (4) | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Meditate|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | The Abyss: I am The Abyss. Study as my acolyte and you will learn how to use the most dangerous weapon this world has ever known, the human mind. |
| End of Fight: Docile Daddy-O-Bot (4) | |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Meditate|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | The Abyss: Acolytes are not concerned with hitting as fast or as hard as the other schools. The Acolyte badge means we are able to recover and reuse our best threats. And leave our enemies frightened and alone. |
| [[Image:LoH_Cards_{{#varpull: LoH/cards/Slow Burn|LoH/Card|image}}|180px|]] | Professor Helios: It is time for you to pursue a class. Don't worry; I won't be offended if you pick someone else.
And whatever you choose, don't let Pyrotechnique pick on you too hard. |
