Ravenhold Academy/Sortie and Missions

## Operations

As apprentice superheroes, students of Ravenhold are deployed in crisis situations across the world when judged ready to handle the duties. Those operations range from mundane ‘Practice patrols’ to world-ending threats.

Students are deployed to Legion base using the Gateway teleporter system hidden in the Nexus far below the school to Legion outposts across the world and then moved about to appropriate position with VTOL aircrafts capable of supersonic flight and cloaked operation.

### **Missions**

All missions feature a currently active superhero, either local or Legion depending on the scale of the mission, to guide the students and act as their team leader. Missions are typically undertaken as a class with the class then being divided into sub teams with objectives appropriate to their abilities and security rating.

## Security Ratings

Ravenhold grades its student on a color-coded scale the aptitude of their students. The scaled goes from red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. With grades toward the violet side of the spectrum being higher rated.

Students are given color-coded badges to represent their ranking. The ranking is not primarily based on capabilities or strength but rather what students are trusted to be able to handle. As such a very powerful student known for insubordination and recklessness could be ranked very low while a reliable student would be higher.

In addition to having skills and abilities appropriate to the threat level, students must show the dedication, ethics, discipline and commitment appropriate for the duties given to them.

### **The Color Scale**

As a rule, a student of a higher tier may answer what would be a lower tier team op by themselves (and their superhero mentor.) A student may also be assigned to support duties against a threat class one tier above their security rating (running surveillance, evacuation or engaging minor threats)

Students earn extra privilege upon attaining high ranks. Most students top at the Green-tier as Blue and Violet class threats are far above the ability of most parahumans.
