Hulderic Institute for the Anomalous

A category page for members of the Institute can be found here.
The Hulderic Institute for the Anomalous appears to be a mental institute that specifically holds people with extraordinary abilities, notably mancers. However, the institute is in fact a safe haven for powered people, offering a place for them to live without fear of persecution, as well as facilities for them to practice their powers.
== History ==
The institute was founded by Hulderic of Whiitmyl, a Quaartheinian introduced to the world by SwagLord. He was instructed by SwagLord to do this, though it is unknown why. It was originally intended to be a school of sorts, but plans were changed quickly as the government became suspicious of the abnormally high security measures being put in place during the building. It was announced to be a mental institute for dangerous people with extraordinary abilities, and the government left them alone, allowing Hulderic to gather members from institutes across the world, with the government enforcing the transfers.
Before long, certain members became old enough and experienced enough to take up roles as teachers of sorts, training people to make use of their powers and occasionally teaching miscellaneous subjects. Eventually, after many years of gathering members, there were enough veterans to set up a proper system, with at least one specialist in every known primary category of mancy.
There have been a number of attacks on the institute, but it always bounces back.
== Notable Specialists ==
Name 	Field 	Description
Stephen Hudderson	Pyromancy 	Stephen is possibly the best pyromancer the world has ever seen, but his immaturity makes him hard to take seriously. He is a favourite among the students.
Matthias Salberg 	Cryomancy 	Matthias is stoic and determined - qualities often exhibited by cryomancers. While disliked by a lot of students, he is an indispensable member of staff.
Cecilia Cavallo 	Hydromancy 	Cecilia, as a Venetian, discovered her powers young, but barely understood them for most of her life. She flourished at the institute, and began teaching others to unlock their potential within a few years.
Carwyn Griffiths 	Aeromancy 	Carwyn is one of the only members of the institute who originates from Cwm Dyffrynnant, and is valuable not only for his expertise in aeromancy, but also his knowledge of the local area.
Lucy Griffiths 	Geomancy 	Lucy is the younger sister of Carwyn, and specialises in geomancy - the complete opposite to her brother. She and her brother are generally well liked by the students.
Scott Jeffries 	Electromancy	Scott is best known for his overly spiked hair that comes as a result of using his powers. He is often avoided by staff and students alike, due to the lingering electricity travelling around his body.
== Trivia ==
* The Institute has an uneasy relationship with the UNWD, stemming from the latter's tendency to recruit powered people into their ranks as field agents. Lucy Griffiths acts as a liaison between the two, allowing the Institute use of UNWD resources from time to time.
