Belrose Academy

History
Founded in the early 1900s as a school for the wealthy by Wilton Belrose, Belrose Academy was in dire straits due to mismanagement before the destruction of Detroit. In much the same way Dr. Destroyers attack revitalized Detroit the school went through a critical renaissance and resurgence. Wealthy backers and alumni have rebuilt Belrose Academy into a school for the best of the best, the wealthy elite of Millennium City and their pampered offspring. In the relatively short time since its reconstruction the school has become a well respected name known for its quality curriculum, well funded school sports and activities programs... and its hefty price tag.
Campus
Although located over a mile from the city itself the original campus was almost entirely destroyed by the fallout of the destruction of Detroit. This gave its various sponsors an opportunity to shape the rebuilt school into the pinnacle of modern campus architecture. Belrose is known for its state of the art facilities and lavish on campus housing. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that students at Belrose enjoy accommodations of a standard many times above the average citizen.

Students
- Becky Neven: Wealthy, privileged, extremely talented and an overachiever. Becky isn't well liked, but she's intensely popular, always surrounded by a swarm of cronies and sycophants that hang on her every word. A cheerleader that's involved in several clubs while maintaining top grades, many people wonder how she stays on top while also running a cool new superhero team. And many can't wait to see her crash and burn.
- Laura Spear: A competitive and head strong sports star. Laura is both on the diving squad and the archery team. Though she is amongst the schools more wealthier crowd she chooses to keep away from the snobbery and is more down to earth and flippant when it comes to the idea of social class. She is always preferring to hang with a small select few of people from various walks of life. Laura also has a somewhat friendly rivalry with Becky Nevan, always looking to out do her in grades and awards.
- Buckley Greene: Spoiled, self-involved and completely ignorant of the outside world, Buckley Greene was your typical entitled rich kid until he was kidnapped and held for ransom while on his summer vacation in Thailand. When he returned to school the following academic year, Buck seemed like a completely different person. Distancing himself from his friend groups and spending most of his time either studying or working out, he no longer seems comfortable with the excesses of wealth he once enjoyed. Buck rarely seems to associate with any of his fellow students and can often be seen around campus sporting fresh cuts, bruises and bandages. Though there are plenty rumours circulating about the new Buckley Greene, the question of what happened to him over the summer break hangs heavily in the air.
- Tiffany Valance: Charitably described as a lovable goofball (less charitably described as a goofball) Tiffany 'Tiffy' Valance is something of a slacker with an interest in the occult that marks her as something of a weirdo. Despite this she's very friendly and likable, with many friends who enjoy her easygoing attitude. For some reason, she and Becky dislike each other immensely.
- Erich Zimmerman: A blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign exchange student from Germany, Erich Zimmerman is a recent addition to Belrose Academy's privileged student body. Conducting himself with the social grace and composure of royalty, Erich has become popular among the female students for his good looks, the male students for his friendly demeanor and the faculty for his academic excellence on all fronts. Despite his popularity, however, Erich maintains a cool distance from most of his peers and spends much of his free time alone, oftentimes disappearing from campus altogether. No one seems to suspect that the seemingly perfect young student is not all that he appears to be...

Rumours
- Buckley Greene has joined some kind of underground fight club to earn money because his father cut him off. That's why he always looks so beaten up.
- Buckley Greene got replaced with a life-like robot over summer break. The real Buckley could be anywhere.
- Sometimes it feels like people have seen Buckley in two places at once.
