Regency Academy

**Regency Academy** is the newly constructed premier hero school in the United Kingdom. It is the brainchild of the current prime minister Hendrickson Bastardsword, who's stated goal was competing with the Japanese hero school UA to create a British Symbol of Peace.

## Facilities

### Campus

The academy is described as having an architectural style borrowed from the fifteenth century, a perpendicular gothic style that echoes the houses of parliament and Big Ben. From a birds-eye view, the school buildings and attached facilities can be seen to form the shape of a massive letter 'R'. Design of the campus is credited to one Baron Augustus 'Gus' Plutarco.

### Dorms

Located in the bottom half of the stem below the bowl of the 'R' when looking from the sky. The dormitories are divided into two floors and split vertically down the middle into male and female dorms. On the top floor are the dorm rooms, each containing a spacious bed chamber and en-suite bathroom for each student. On the bottom floor are the communal areas, also separated into boy's and girl's sides although the segregation is not as harshly enforced. The girl's side includes an extra kitchen and bathroom compared to the boy's side, which has an indoor firepit and juice-bar in those same places.

### Engineering Ward

Located in the northern quadrant of the academy, on the lowest level. It is chromium and advanced looking, it consists of a long corridor with offshoots into various studios and laboratories for support technicians. It has an unusually high ceiling, specifically to accommodate the entrance to the Safe Room which it houses.

### Nurse's Office

A typical nurse's office stocked with beds and medical supplies for treating injured students. It is located on the second story of the school building.

### Safe Room

A supposedly impenetrable vault built into the walls of the academy. It is constructed from thick, nigh-indestructible super-metals supposedly capable of withstanding a direct strike from a ballistic warhead. It was designed to withstand a brute force attack from even the country's top heroes. The entrance to the safe room is a massive, thick round door that must unscrew itself to open. The interior of the saferoom is split into several sections, including a depressing, hospital waiting room-esque entranceway and a large engineering workshop.

### SESSE

The 'Subterranean Enclosed Space Simulation Environment' is an underground facility used for hero exercises such as the Regency Royale. It is formed of a tight, interlocking maze of narrow tunnels originating from four separate entry points and culminating in a wide open, domed center. The tunnels are approximately four meters wide and five meters high. Dim lights run along the lengths of all of the tunnels to provide visibility and there are cameras scattered across the area to allow for outside observation.

## Uniforms

The Regency Academy school uniform consists of a shirt, tie, blazer, and choice of legwear. The blazer has some light coattails and is to be worn buttoned up with the top two of three buttons at all times, but never the third. The tie is always to be worn properly, with no sagging or looseness, and must be of the appropriate length, tied into a full Windsor knot. For legwear, students may take their pick of shorts, trousers, or a pleated skirt, the choice is not segregated by gender. The shorts may be rolled up exactly once and and must be worn in combination with socks up to the knee. The pockets are strictly for show, belongings are to be kept in the student's personal carrier or, if reasonably sized, in the blazer pocket. Trousers must be ironed neatly with a crease running up the middle of each leg. The skirt is knee length, a pair of briefs must be worn under it and shortening it in any way by modifying it or wearing it higher is considered a severe uniform code violation. Violation of any of the above terms will result in a student being reprimanded for untidiness and given a uniform code violation.

The primary color of the uniform is cantaloupe orange, with the highlights (such as the lapels and interior of the blazer, as well as the tie) in apricot orange. The school insignia is embroidered upon the right breast with a secret blend and pattern of fabrics designed to be unreproducible to those outside of official channels. The same insignia is embroidered on the tie with the same security measures. The color of the legwear, regardless of choice, is a creamsicle orange. Shoes must be black and leather and must be of a good quality and in good condition, but unlike other items of the uniform they do not need to be bought directly from the school. Socks worn with the uniform must be of plain colors, preferably white.

The material specially used by Regency Academy was developed by the same company responsible for miracle fiber. It is flexible enough to be one size fits all and resistant enough to come apart when doing ordinary hero training, it's comfort is advertised as 'silken'. This is the secondary motivation besides profits that uniforms must be purchased from the school directly.

Students may wear whatever they want for PE lessons or hero exercises. That said, the school does offer sports gear for sale alongside the normal uniform. The sports uniform consists of a plain white shirt with an insignia on the right breast and marigold exercise shorts with an insignia on the right side. It is made of the same material as the normal uniform, but specially woven to breathe better so as to dissuade excess sweating.

The uniform is not enforced on Wednesdays or weekends.
