During the 2009 Destroid attack on Millennium City, countless citizens – powered and unpowered alike - took their first steps into a larger world. With their home threatened by this mechanoid menace, they came forward to help their fellow man, whether it was by helping extinguish fires and evacuate the city, or by taking up arms against the Destroids themselves and helping the Champions repel them.
Inspired by these acts, Professor Harold Lockheart – formerly the hero known as Crescent – founded the Halcyon Academy, a school dedicated not only to providing a low-cost, high-quality education to the city’s youth, but also to the training of its heroes of tomorrow. With the assistance of several private investors, including Tanaka Industries and renowned scientist Dr. Silverback, the Halcyon Academy employs traditional teachers for its standard curriculum as well as a number of experienced heroes to serve as mentors to the Academy’s students. Volunteers not only from local supergroups, but the Millennium City Police Department and the Department of Justice, visit the school to deliver lectures and accompany students into the field to obtain much-needed first-hand experience in as safe a manner as possible so that the students may focus on learning rather than staying alive.
Located in downtown Millennium City, student housing is available for those who travel from afar to attend the school, or those who simply prefer the dormitory life to their current living situation. Student aid and grants are available to qualifying students, though the headmaster has taken great pains to try and keep admission costs as low as he can to make the academy a realistic, accessible choice for any and all people who wish to attend.
Halcyon Academy's doors officially opened in September 2009. Since then, the school has seen continual growth as students converge from all corners of the planet, galaxy, and existence.
