Westbrook Faculty

[Aglakti Hale]

NAME:
Richard Dauchamp

ALIAS:
Glass House

Force Fielder and former mall cop turned campus security.

AGE:
37

OCCUPATION:
Head of Security

HEIGHT:
6'2

BUILD:
At one time he was athletic, in his thirties he's developed a bit of a beer belly.

HOME TOWN:
Paragon, RI.

POWERS:
Dauchamp creates force fields, but unlike many force fielders they are rigid to the touch and shatter like glass instead of naturally dissipating. The shards are usable for a few minutes before they "melt" away. Dauchamp is able to control the thickness and "strength" of his fields. He's also able to project them offensively.

APPEARANCE:
In his prime, Dauchamp fit one's stereotypical idea of "hero" to a tee. Tall, broad and lean with a full head of blonde hair, he looked like he could have been off of a movie poster. Since rounding the bend of thirty five however, his hair line has receded somewhat and he's lost a bit of his physique from lack of physical activity, a beer gut taking it's place.

BIO:
Richard Dauchamp came from a heroic family and was expected to follow in their footsteps. As a young man though, he was overly concerned about the image and recognition that comes with being a hero and less with the actual hero work itself. Glass House did not last very long, and his license eventually expired. In his twenties, he took up a job as mall security, gradually rising through the ranks to head of mall security.

A better paying job was offered at Westbrook, which he gladly accepted. Dauchamp is a quiet but friendly individual, still he relies heavily on his small security team to be his "ears to the street" at Westbrook and prefers to mill about the hallways and enterances looking important.

NAME:
Christina Romanov (Romano, Romero, Romer, Römisch, etc.)

ALIAS:
Classified (she'll never tell)

Ex-government linguist turned teacher; human lie detector

AGE:
41

OCCUPATION:
Language Teacher

HEIGHT:
5'10

BUILD:
Muscular

HOME TOWN:
Currently Paragon

POWERS:
Super hearing, speech pattern recognition

APPEARANCE:
Ms. Romanov stands 5'10 but appears taller since she frequently wears heels. She has blonde hair and steely blue eyes, and favors wearing black or grey clothing, usually accentuated with one bright accessory such as a scarf.

BIO:
Christina Romanov graduated Bryn Mawr and did her graduate work at Trinity College in Dublin. She's an accomplished linguist who worked for the government during the Cold War period, the capacity of which is unknown. She's studied both linguistics and acting. She can easily pass for a native in several countries if need be, but that's all in her past, which she rarely discloses.

At Westbrook, she's no pushover, and none of her classes are easy A's. She uses a different form of her last name in each class to reflect the class she is teaching, ie: for Spanish, she is Senorita Romero, for Italian, Signorine Romano, etc. She's a tough but fair teacher, accentuated by the fact that it is rumored her acute senses make her somewhat of a human lie detector. If handing Ms. Romanov an excuse for not completing an assignment, she'll need some sort of proof to back up your statement. She believes in homework, reading assignments, essays, foreign language films and exams, anything which will help immerse you in the language you choose. She is head of the foreign language department, and frequently spends her time off from Westbrook abroad.

Rumors also abound that she was once a spy for the CIA and the like. If asked, Ms. Romanov will simply smile and respond with a foreign variation of "look towards the future, not the past."

NAME:
Katrina Bradley

ALIAS:
Metronome

Little firecracker and passionate shop teacher.

AGE:
30

OCCUPATION:
Shop Teacher

HEIGHT:
5' 3

BUILD:
Petite but curvy.

HOME TOWN:
Tucson AZ

POWERS:
She has an affinity for anything clock work, steam powered or "old school" mechanical. She's alright with things powered by electricity but seems to have an innate understanding of industrial revolution era technology. She has built several small steam powered and clockwork robots.

APPEARANCE:
Katrina is short and curvy with a dark olive skin tone due to her mixed ancestry. She has dark chestnut hair with a frizzy unruly texture that must be kept back in a pony tail most of the time. She wears large, thick glasses when she's not wearing her prescription safety goggles. Her manner of dress is comfortable and practical, from polos to overalls and heavy footwear. Miss. Bradley is never without a ready smile and a kind word of advice, though her shop-class related metaphors and dry sense of humor can escape some people.

BIO:
Katrina Bradley was born the youngest of ten children, and the only girl. With nine big brothers, she's always been one to follow more "boyish" pursuits and often hung off the shirt tails of the two oldest brothers who themselves became inventors. Her odd affinity for clockworks came about at a young age, after she animated her own doll with parts stolen from a clock on the mantle piece.

Never one for the super hero game, she decided instead to pursue teaching as her career, figuring that was the best way to share her talents with others.

At Westbrook, she is a relaxed friendly teacher when kids are behaving themselves. The moment someone starts "screwing around" with the machinery though, Miss. Bradley is all business and can be very commanding in spite of the fact that she's shorter than a good number of her own students.

[Mia Cobol]

This is the NPC Jess and I have been working on for a while.

NAME:
Emily Neilson

ALIAS:
N/A

The hip, "hot" art teacher

AGE:
25

OCCUPATION:
Art Teacher and Pryokinesis Trainer

HEIGHT:
5'7"

BUILD:
Slim

HOME TOWN:
Boston, MA

POWERS:
Emily has the ability to generate large amounts of heat around her hands, sometimes to the point of igniting the air around them. Once ignited, she can control the shape, size and intensity of the flames.

APPEARANCE:
Miss Neilson has layered warm, brown hair that reaches just past her shoulders and hazel eyes. She prefers neutral and cool colors and tries to keep up with the latest casual trends. Her usual attire consists of baggy sweaters with cincher belts or tee shirts and light cardigans over leggings and boots.

BIO:
Emily Neilson was one of the first graduates of Westbrook Academy, having transferred to the school at the end of her junior year. During her year at Westbrook she honed her skills under the watchful eye of the faculty, gaining a lot of fine control in a short amount of time. Upon graduation, Emily stayed in Paragon to enroll in Paragon University's prestigious art education program, following her passion. She was even able to use her meta abilities to sculpt scrap metal into art. Through it all she stayed in touch with her alma mater. Once she received her degree, Mr Herrera contacted her about coming on as the full time art teacher.

Emily jumped at the opportunity and started her tenure in the fall of 2010. Her students find her to be the most relatable of the faculty due to her young age. She was the first to have a Twitter and My FacePlace page.

NAME:
Mavis Davis

ALIAS:
Mayday

Math Maven

AGE:
32

OCCUPATION:
General Mathematics Educator

HEIGHT:
5’7

BUILD:
Stocky

HOME TOWN:
Founders Falls, Paragon

POWERS:
Empathy - while Mavis can't actually repair injuries, she can cause a state of stasis to prevent injuries from getting worse until help can arrive.

APPEARANCE:
Tall, stocky with reddish hair and watery blue eyes. Mavis prefers name brands and designer labels.

BIO:
Mavis Davis was a tenured math teacher at Vista Heights High School in Skyway. She recently accepted a position at Westbrook to replace current math teacher Brian Leary who needed an emergency leave of absence to care for his ailing wife.

A meta since birth, Mavis has the ability to create a state of stasis to most wounds and injuries. Other heroes have commented on the irony of her decidedly unempathetic demeanor in comparison to her meta abilities. She often comes across as cold and calculating as the subject she teaches when in reality she has a love of mathematics that she wishes to share with others. She doesn't accept second best, she wants, expects and demands her students give 100% (as 110% is mathematically impossible) in all that they do. She sometimes patrols under the name Mayday, but is semi-retired as of last year.

Ms. Davis was an active member of the Vista Heights faculty, directing the school’s color guard and served as adviser to the mathletes and academic bowl teams. She is brand new to Westbrook Academy and looks forward to bringing her love of mathematics to a private school setting.

NAME:
Wilfred Imp

ALIAS:
White Imp

Metahuman know it all

AGE:
58

OCCUPATION:
General Metahuman studies

HEIGHT:
5' 4"

BUILD:
Thin

HOME TOWN:
New York, New York

POWERS:
Has the ability to create and shape ice.

APPEARANCE:
Wilfred Imp has a short thin body. He has shorter length brown hair usually not kept in any sort of style. Wilfred's powers seem to have slowed down his aging. While he is nearly 60, he looks like he is 30 years younger. His most noticeable feature are the cracks running all along his body. These cracks give off a very fain light blue light.

BIO:
Just after high school Wilfred tried his hand at being a hero. However, it just never suited him. After a year or so, Wilfred hung up his cape and instead attended Paragon University. While not particular interested in being a hero, that didn't mean he wasn't interested in the Metahuman populace in general. Wilfred turned most of his attention to how metahumans were influencing the world around them. Later, he moved further to philosophy of metahuman scholars.

Wilfred started teaching at Westbrook Academy a year or so ago, and his main focus seems to be 'Metahuman History' and 'Metahuman Ethics'. Both classes are required and many students are grateful Wilfred is the one teaching. Where other teachers at the academy show students -how- to use their powers, Wilfred asks his students 'why' instead.

While Wilfred has ice powers, he is not an elemental teacher save for a few Independent Studies. His extensive knowledge makes him able to help with many metahuman based questions, though with more serious questions he may pass the student along to see specific teachers who are better equipped to handle the situation. He is always willing to help students if they have questions and normally can be found in his office until late at night.
