GraceAcademy

The base passcode "REMEMBERBC-15081" is now active. We welcome all who come to remember our mutual friend.

The base passcode for the memorial gathering will be "REMEMBERBC-15081" The code will be active beginning Friday morning, approximately 24 hours before the gathering. We invite anyone who wishes to visit the memorial during this time, whether or not you will be attending the gathering. Grace Academy is an active RP base, so we do ask that visitors be mindful of regular SG members and try not to disrupt any ongoing RP. The memorial is enough out of the way of most of the base's active areas that it should not present a problem. Thank you!

Grace Academy will be hosting a memorial gathering for BitCook at our base on the Everlasting shard on Saturday August 9th, 1PM EDT/10AM PDT, for any and all who would like to attend. The basecode will be posted closer to the event, so please watch this space or the event announcement on the HC Discord. This gathering will be an opportunity for friends of BC to share their thoughts, memories, and experiences, whether just reminiscing about the good times or sharing the moments when she touched our lives for the better. Depending on the size of the gathering, we intend to meet at a memorial constructed in our base in BC's honor, to the right of the entrance portal. If attendance grows too large, we will relocate to the base's assembly hall. In either case, we invite any who wish to spend time at the memorial to reflect on our lost friend.

It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of the player BitCook. She passed away in the fall of 2024, but her family is only now reaching out to some of her online contacts, so the word has been slow in coming. BitCook, or "BC," was an avid RPer and skilled storyteller, but beyond that, she was a truly remarkable and inspiring person. Anyone who knew her knows that she treated all she met with love, kindness, compassion, and respect. She was someone who brought people together, and a loyal and stalwart friend. Her loss is felt deeply by the many she touched throughout her life, both online and offline. Our hearts especially go out to her family. Grace Academy will be hosting a gathering in her memory at our SG base on the Everlasting shard. This is will be held Saturday, August 9th, 2025, at 1PM EDT/10AM PDT; please see the post below in this thread for further details including base code. It is my understanding that the Prevail SG is also planning a vigil for this coming weekend, though details are still forthcoming. Rest in peace, dear friend. May you hike many more trails under beauteous skies. 😢

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the time period you are talking about (duration of the contest plus a few weeks afterwards) amounts to approximately two months during which the base would be accessible to anyone, which would potentially be highly disruptive to regular use of the base by SG members, and so even using a temporary passcode for this time is out of the question. As such, we will not be able to submit an entry.

I would absolutely love to be able to recognize and honor the great builders in our SG, however we prefer to keep the base access private. Admitting judges is fine, but posting our base passcode openly on the forums where anyone could use it until the event is over and we can change it is out of the question. Will you accept private submissions rather than public postings?

SG Name: Grace Academy RP/RP Friendly: Medium to Heavy RP Theme: Super School for students ages 10-25, and adult teachers/staff. Alignment: Hero Motto: "The easy way is rarely the right way." Discord: https://discord.gg/BjqpVRWsJM Recruitement Message: Grace Academy is proud to announce the beginning of its fifth school year as a SuperGroup! We are a school-themed SG for both student characters of a wide range (ages 10-25), and teachers and other staff characters. Our theme is a bit of “Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters” blended with “Sky High," and maybe a dash of "Hogwarts." We offer a robust and developed setting, with plentiful opportunities to RP both in-game and on Discord. Our membership is friendly and welcoming, so if you're interested please come check us out! IC Background: The Grace Academy was formed by Gloria “Grace” Harris just after the turn of the century. She originally created it as a small orphanage to help young meta humans. For several years she tirelessly worked both to help her young wards as well as advocate for rights for meta youth. For several years she managed with just donations from local companies and people who appreciated the selfless work she was performing. After a generous grant from the FBSA, Grace was able to purchase a small island just off the coast of Peregrine Island, which included an old tower fortress. It was here that she expanded the Academy to an actual school, admitting not only those with nowhere to go, but also those that wanted an education catered to people with abilities. Grace staffed the school largely with current and retired heroes, people who knew from experience what the students were going through, who could be examples and were best equipped to help guide and teach them. Whether students aspire to become heroes themselves or just seek an education, the goal is the same: to help them learn to control and use their powers responsibly and ethically.
