Future Institute (Game Series)

## About

The Future Institute games are a series of mini-campaigns set in the Heartspace Universe, with a rotating MC. Each season consists of 4 sessions, in which a number of characters, most of them pre-existing from other games, are brought in.

The game series was created specifically to allow characters from Heartspace to interact in a game, although.

Because this is a game *set* in the HSU, interactions and plot that have happened on HeartSpace are considered cannon.

## Setup and Premise:

Various high school students (many of whom participate on the HeartSpace app) receive a mysterious acceptance letter inviting them to a special one week intensive program designed to help them become "Future Leaders". The Faculty, and the Intitute itself, seem to be aware, at least to some extent, of the... unusual nature of many of the students.

### Threats and Other Significant NPCs:

* "The Ice Lady"/Sylethrenda - [Season 3] A monstrous ice-woman who tried to destroy the NYC dorms to turn it into a throne for her new kingdom. It was revealed she had been stabbed by an enchanted weapon whose poison turns your power and mind against yourself. Location Unknown.
* "The Fire Lady"/Darina - [Season 3/Season 7] Destroyed the server room for Private Security, in the process destroying pre-existing footage from the dorm cameras. Location Unknown, though her presence was made known by a fire in the FrostFire Park main lodge's kitchen.
* "The Beast" - Somewhat like a werewolf - but larger, meaner, and uglier. A shifter based on the extinct short-faced bear. In one world manged, in the other deranged, and in the third just plain old sad.
* Global Medtech
* "The Mushrooms"
