The Brilliance Academy

The Brilliance Academy is a school for all those with magical, supernatural or otherwise beyond exceptional abilities. It is, at it's core, a school to train potential superheroes, however one does not need to have grand aspirations to attend and strengthen their skills.

Teams
Temporary teams are randomly assigned (via an algorithm that weighs and balances powers and abilities) in sophomore year. At the end of sophomore year, after attending classes and getting the feel of working with a team, the students can request teams. Formal teams are created in junior year, and finalized teams are moved to the team dorms.

Finalized teams
Finalized teams are teams that, over the course of junior year, went through and passed the “team dynamic and cohesion” exam. See the section on dorm situations below.

Senior year
In senior year, all teams are assigned Directors. Directors are university students who are in the “leadership program”. They serve to guide the student teams, while also gaining leadership experience, similar to a student teacher or paraprofessional. Directors report to their own panel of directors, who, in turn, help guide the students as well.

Dorms
The school has several dorming situations, individual and teams. Individual dorms are similar to normal dorms, while team dorms are houses/condos that teams share, along with their director.

There are numerous rules to the team dorming scenarios. Example of rules include:


 * Boys and girls ARE allowed to co-dorm
 * Twins cannot be on different teams, unless the two teams are co-teams.
 * Co-teams- teams that work together. (teen titans and teen titans west, etc)
 * Archaic rule: if a team that is 4-1 girl/boy is opposite a team that is 4-1 boy/girl, the boy and the girl must swap.

Power Weighing
The school has several power weighing systems, though the most important one is the color categorical scale. The Categorical Color scale does not measure how powerful an individual’s abilities are, instead it is an appraisal of how dangerous they are in combat.

The colors go in order of the color spectrum, with purple being the least destructive and red being the most.

Yellow is the most common categorical color of common superheroes, however the categories of students are distributed relatively evenly among the indigo through orange range. Red is the most rare category, with only three students and five faculty members. Purple is not rare, it is simply that those with abilities warranting a purple category rarely find themselves needing to attend the Brilliance Academy. Most do not even realize they have an ability at all.

If an individual has multiple powers, the sum of their combined abilities is used to categorize them.

NOTE: if an individual’s power is not their own, ie: received from a weapon, an amulet, or other object/article and/or temporary or granted to them by another being, they cannot be placed higher than yellow. This is such that their power is easily negated. If one’s power does not come from oneself, they cannot be ranked higher than yellow.

Categorical Color
Types of powers and example students in each category are in the chart that follows.

Purple-Indigo-Blue-Green-Yellow-Orange-Red

Classes
A student's class schedule consists of a minimum of 10 classes: 7 on weekdays and three on weekends. Weekend classes are almost always extracurriculurs.
