First Floor
The first floor of Revolution Academy is the place every student, faculty member, and visitor walks through. Students and staff are asked to refrain from using their powers extensively out of courtesy for any visitors that walk through the entrance doors. The decor screams antique warmth, giving a welcome glow to any person walking on the deep hardwood floors.

Second Floor
Going up one of the many staircases throughout the school will lead to one of the more commonly occupied levels of the school. This is the level that houses not only the many classrooms, but also the students of the Academy. Once more, the warm, antique decor of the rest of the school continues throughout this level of the school. Atrium | Grand Ballroom | Classrooms | Music Room | I.T. Suite | Photography Lab

Third Floor
The third floor is a restricted area where only X-Men may go under normal circumstances. An observational deck and the Headmaster's Office and X-Men Quarters are the main features of note on this floor. The sight of a student is uncommon, but the usual explanation is that they are there for the company of Laura Kinney. Otherwise, they are waiting for an X-Man's help.

Basement
Taking a different direction this time, the basement is the first point where one would begin to notice the changes from renaissance to futuristic. Places to train and store excess items are located here, and supervision for students is highly recommended when venturing to unknown territory. Important places are located in the basement, though not all locations are meant for exploration, and varying permissions are needed for access to some places.

Phoenix Plaza
A large paved square before the entrance hall of the school. At its center stands a large elegant fountain with water constantly running nearly year-round. The pipes of the fountain freeze during the cold months, and students are asked to refrain from walking on the ice when it is formed at the bottom. The smooth twists of the stone come together and peak into the form of a bird, the Phoenix, in memory of the loss the academy experienced nearly ten years ago.

Memorial Gardens & The Hedge Maze
A place to come and remember the past, it is full of beautiful plants, and rings with bird songs. There are many statues erected in the guise of heroes that have died, some in a state of disrepair. It is a place to go to receive a peaceful respite from the hardships of an academy life. On the other side of the gardens lay a gigantic maze made of a well-kept cultivated hedge. It is a great place to go to hide from people when you are in trouble, or as another route in one's escape from society. Short cuts are simply three-foot-high holes in the brush, allowing easy escape.

Activity Courts & Outdoor Pool
An extensive run of dirt and cement that serves as an area for students to play basketball and other court-like games. Lines are painted on the cement for various forms of entertainment, even for something as simple as four-square. Around the courts there are metal benches as well as walkways of grass. A nearby Olympic-sized pool is open to the residents of Revolution Academy during the warmer seasons of the year. During the winter the pool is emptied and covered. It can get pretty crowed during the day, depending on the weather. It is a great place for students to do laps and work up a tan during their free time.

Breakstone Lake & Blackthorn Forest
Located behind the school, the lake is yet another place for students and faculty to visit to get some fresh air. A small shack encloses a dock that sits at one edge of the lake. The shack houses rowboats and other varying types of equipment for swimming and boating. Those who cannot swim are advised to no farther than knee-deep in water. Just behind the lake is the edge of a large plantation of trees held within the estate that surrounds the school and acts like a dark forest. Many students find it a beneficial place to train, but in the past it has also been said to be a place where misfortune occurs. Wildlife runs freely through the brush, so don't be surprised if strange noises are heard.

Town Center
Once a bustling point of commerce, now desolate due to the opening of the Salem Mall Mega-Plex. Topping the mall, however, is a movie theatre set as the centerfold for the town center. Not many types of films play, but just enough variety to please the occasional movie-goer.

Salem Shopping Mall
Over a hundred shops lay within the mammoth four-story structure, ranging from popular fashion shops to quaint boutiques. A food court is situated in the center of the mall, its collective scent capturing every passerby. The mall is great for a simple walk, as one or two laps are sufficient for a good workout. Scanning the field for a social pick-up is also common, as there is never an absence of eye candy.

Disco 2000
The largest and most talked-about club in Salem Center, Disco 2000 is the hot spot of the area. Without a proper connection, the wait to get in could take up to a few hours. Being a mutant in the club is not uncommon, but it is ill advised as the club is not openly accepting of mutants. A massive dance floor and well-known artist fill the interior, with three bars running along the outer ring, also lined with stools and tables.

The Park
Once a usual, run-of-the-mill children’s play area, the park has long since fallen into disrepair and social decay. Swings are rusted and threaten to fall apart if weight is placed on them, and the playground looks as if it would collapse with the next windstorm. The benches seem to hold up well, though it is not a safe place once night has fallen.

The Curzon Estate
An epic housing estate set in the suburbs of Salem Center. The housing here range from mansions to apartment blocks, and fit nearly any budget. Apartment complexes seem to be the more heavily populated complexes of the Estates. This is the usual place of residence for humans living in Salem Center, or for those who do not live within the Mansion Walls.

New York City
One of the biggest and most commercial centers of America, the city has much more to offer than the tourist-filled landmarks. Located a little over an hour away from Salem Center, public transportation is a recommended way of travel, especially for those visiting from the school. Cab fares average $2/mile, with about $3 upon entry. The Illusion House | Sew Perfect | Bus Station | The Clinic

District X
This neighborhood was known for its unique name, "Alphabet City", the area composed of Avenues A, B, C, and D, located in the East Village of Manhattan, New York. Unlike many spaces of its kind, however, this community was and still is heavily populated with mutants. Once covered with bustling businesses and one of the few sanctuaries for mutants, a bomb destroyed what once was. After the Mutant Fever virus swept the neighborhood, it went to shambles. It is no longer a safe place for everyone, the crime rate growing by the day. New York Apartment Complexes

Revolution Academy has been up and running since September 2005. Our members are dedicated to telling a story rather than just engaging in drama and we pride ourselves on giving them an environment in which they can do so. We are an intermediate board and, as such, ask for 350 words minimum per IC post. Our main aim is to provide a fun place where people can work on and, hopefully, perfect the art of writing and are more than willing to help anyone who truly wishes to improve and become part of our game. All in all we are a friendly board with friendly members and helpful staff, so if this sounds like the sort of place for you, don’t hesitate to join up or drop us a line in the c-box.
When signing up please select a first and last name and use proper capitalisation. Anything that deviates from this will be deleted without notice.
Blood is being shed, and there’s no telling who will continue standing where they initially rose. Some will change sides after a revelation, while others will remain headfast and steady. The mutants had harbored no ill will toward human kind, though there are rumors that they will longer take the insults any longer. They once desired peace and harmony, where both races could be considered as equals.
Now they want revenge.
Nights are getting longer and the days are getting colder as New York finds itself hurled into the depths of WINTER. Forecasters as predicting a particularly cold one this year with more than its fair share of snow, rain, sleet and ice that brings with it the promise of a white Christmas. But don’t forget to wrap up warm, we wouldn’t want you missing the seasonal festivities!
January 5th 2010 • HAPPY NEW YEAR from the Revolution Academy staff! For news and updates (as well as a present) please check out this thread. Roll Call will go up on the 7th of the month and the masquerade will run until February 1st.
December 12th 2009 • Our Masquerade party is up and running! Don't miss out on this special event, have fun and let loose a little. You can view the proceedings here.
November 24th 2009 • Be sure to get your reservation sent for our New Year's Eve Masquerade Party! Masks are assigned in order of first come, first serve, so don't be late.

played by David
This months Character of the Month award goes to David; a long-term and much loved member here at Revolution Academy, who has recently decided to turn his hand to writing Storm, one of the most beloved X-men characters. His posts are always impeccably well written and are obviously a labour of love by their writer. The character is played in a way reminiscent to the X-men cartoons of the early 90’s, which only makes us love the character even more. Congrats David, we love ya!
