CLOUD ACADEMY discussion

Mod

champion led official undercover defense - or cloud - is an underground organization of, for lack of a better word, superspies. hundreds of individuals wih different backgrounds, talents, and ideas dedicated to one cause: preventing the end of the world. it's harder than it sounds. never fear, though - here at the academy, you'll be taught anything you could possibly need to know to join the cause.

there are four houses in the academy - fern, oleander, jasmine, and wisteria. every student is sorted into a house, and each one is led by a teacher who graduated from that house. the house you are sorted into is determined by your specific skill set and the talents you possess. when students are organized into teams for missions, one from each house will be chosen.

fern house is for intelligence. these are the students spending most of their time in the labs, building new gadgets and discovering exciting new formulas. before you underestimate them, be warned - these are the ones who can assemble a bomb in under half a minute with their eyes closed. watch your back.
oleander house is for charisma. the disguised smooth-talkers, the quick thinkers, the socializers. those who are good with their words, with a true silver tongue. an oleander could lie their way out of almost any situation or convince of you something absolutely ridiculous and you wouldn't question it for a second. be wary of what you hear.
jasmine house is for stealth. the last thing you never see. these are the students in the shadows, the silent attackers, slipping around unseen and watching everything. you'll never notice a jasmine unless they want you to. keep an eye on your surroundings.
wisteria house is for strength. these, quite simply, are the fighters. the powerhouses of their teams. wisterias are skilled in many forms of combat, trained to be the warrior of their team. the defender. if you get into a fight with a wisteria... good luck.
