Campus Grounds: (9 sub-boards) Located in picturesque Snow Valley Massachusetts, the Prometheus Academy resembles an ivy league college. It’s grounds are marked by a seven foot high brick privacy wall reinforced with interior titanium supports and a hidden security system designed to defend against intruders. Entry through the school’s gate means being scanned by a bank of hidden sensors designed to recognize mutants and detect hidden armaments. Once past the gate the sprawling campus opens up and one has only to follow the manicured, perfectly laid out avenues. A glistening babbling river runs through out the campus beginning on the top of the hill and running through underground channels to emerge behind the administration center before flowing around the central part of the campus. Bridges at key points allow students to cross the river to reach the rest of the campus. (Vehicles other than faculty golf carts are not permitted past the parking lot.) Points of Interest: The Grounds, Admin Building, The Quad, Arts Building, Dorms, Gym, Science Building, Library

Whitehall (6 sub-boards) Located on the hill above House Row the sprawling manor of Whitehall is home to the school’s headmistress and those mutant students who have crawled to the top of the heap. It is here that the hellions reside and undertake specialized training from Miss Frost. Training devised to shape them into useful, willing and mostly unknowing tools of the inner circle and it’s goals. Entry into Whitehall is not easy, only the best, most skilled or most cunning students rise to the top of Prometheus Academy’s scholastic heap and the Hellions are seen in the same light as the school’s star athletes. White hall and it’s gardens are backed against the local snow capped mountains that form the northern boundary of snow valley the cliffs of which are the source of the white river that cuts through the valley and flows throughout the campus. Whitehall once dwelt in Sussex and was the ancestral home of Emma Frost’s parents the Lord and Lady Frost. Whitehall was transported to snow valley during the construction of the Academy and was the first structure on the site.

Failure to submit proper biometric Identification results in an activation of the Garden’s defense grid…something very few people would survive to tell of. Only the Hellions, Miss Frost, or secretly the members of the inner council have access to the training complex. Points of Interest: The Gauntlet, Planning Room, Launch Bay

What if Sometimes it's fun to tell a story that has nothing to do with the active plot, sometimes you just want to see what would happen if a character had made a different choice in life, and sometimes the urge exists to just do something completely odd ball. This section of the board is dedicated to such stories. Threads that take place in this section have -NO- effect what so ever on the rest of the board. What if Magneto gave up his crusade for world domination and joined the X-men? What if Charles Xavier, Cyclops, or Nightcrawler was a villian? These stories can and will happen here. Enjoy! *Please read the rules posted inside*
