Welcome to Highwind Academy for the Gifted! Founded by Cid Highwind
 The Main Office of Highwind AcademyIn the year 2000, Highwind Academy was established by Cid Highwind. As one of the schools branching from the Shinra Academy, Fantasy High had long been revered as one of the most remarkable schools to ever exist on the face of the planet. Only the most talented students and teachers could ever dream of even setting eyes upon the main office. (Which is actually an airship) Though, the school does take in the occasional dropout from the Shinra Academy and those who could afford to study there.
The Airship:
Cid's pride and joy. The airship is about 3/4's the size of the Shinra Academy (which is quite large. Imagine the Shinra Headquarters building and it's oh-so-many-floors) and is extremely extravagant. The school has 5 main floors. The first floor is the entrance which leads to the second floor, cafeteria, main office, elevator, student services, counselors and the lobby. The lobby is generally used for students who have off-periods, where they would quietly study and snack on something from the vending machines. It's also a place for leisure where students can socialize.
The second and third floors include all the classrooms ranging from Freshman year to College Senior. The third floor is usually reserved for the College students whilst the second floor reserved for the High School students. Each floor is enormously vast, like a whole one-story school in one floor.
The fourth floor holds all of the Dormitories, separating the men from the women. Each dorm holds two students and they are given a number of things, such as furniture, built in Plasma Screen Television Set, bathroom with shower and spa and well as some accommodations.
The fifth floor is the Headmaster's Office. What he does there is unknown.
Academics:
Highwind Academy offers many advanced courses for students. Those who are interested in the military would be transferred to the Shinra Academy. Practically every advanced career could be obtained through the Highwind Academy whether it'd be a career in Medicine, Religion, Business Management, Science, and etc...
Activities:
Students can participate in a number of activities such as Student Counsel, Extracurricular Activities, or even find jobs, which the Academy has a list of recommendations. The Airship flies for most of the day and only lands at lunch and in the evenings, that way students could go about their leisure time.
Help:
If there are any questions, Headmaster Cid is the one person to go to. He will eagerly listen to anyone's problems and even make you join for a cup of tea. biggrin

Cid sat in his office, idly toying with his pen while looking at the new applicants to his academy. He shuffled through the papers and eventually tossed them in the bin out of annoyance before rushing out of his office.
"I'm bored out of my mind!" he grumbled distastefully. The man's loyalty to Shinra was nothing but a bargain. All Cid wanted was to fly...and fly he did even though it meant being somewhat of a dog to Shinra. Though he currently piloted the biggest airship, with the biggest engine, with even bigger cannons...it was all for a stupid school with stupid students and stupid Shinra. Cid popped a cigarette into his mouth and slid a key into the slot. The enormous metal sliding doors deviated from each other and entered into the love of his life....the airship itself. He fingered the delicate buttons and silently fantasized. Of course he came back to reality eventually. With a great sigh, he took his speaker.
"Alright ya filthy bastards! (Referring to the teachers and administrators of Shinra) It's about time to greet the new students so don't cry and hold onto your panties 'cause I'm gonna go fast!" the man laughed manically before taking the wheel.
The Airship shot through the sky like a meteor, leaving behind the smoke from the sonic boom. If one were to be aboard that airship that moment, not one would be spared from vomiting.
After what seemed like hours of agonizing flying (in the teachers' perspective), the ship finally landed, it's propellers gently spinning in tune with the wind. The hatch opened up and those who had weak stomachs practically fell out of the ship while Cid stood ever so victorious. Rows of students cluttered near the airship in awe and fear, mainly because they witnessed the plight of a madman. Cid eyes the students with distaste before jumping out of the ship.
"Alright here, listen up kids. Welcome to my Highwind Academy for the talented. Those fools who are spilling their guts are your teachers. Here, I don't tolerate misbehaviors...and if you do, I'm dropping you out of the ship...literally," he added, making the student body breath with unease. The headmaster smirked before letting out a hearty laughter.
"This....is my pride and joy. Here is a place where you can call home. Laugh, cry, scream so when you look back, you can remember the time you were here. I'm Headmaster Cid, welcome," he smiled.

Cloud looked up at the towering airship from the crowd, and back at the man who jumped out of the ship, wondering what exactly happened. Cloud had followed the other students to the spot where they were supposed to meet the teachers, but he didn't expect such a... big enterance. He looked back at the teachers laying on the ground. Wondered what happened to them... He thought, turning his attention back to the man who jumped out of the ship. So that's our headmaster...
"Cloud....?" A voice said.
Cloud quickly looked back out into the crowd.
"Cloud... I found you!" The voice said, grabbing his arm. It was Zack. "Hey Cloud! I finally found you, I've been looking everywhere for you!" He said, patting him on the shoulder. "Lucky your hair is so yellow and spiky, or I'd never been able to find you in this huge crowd!" He said, chuckling. "That airship looks awesome, I can't wait to get on it!" He said, pointing at the airship.
"Yeah..." Said Cloud.
"Let's get a better view of it then!" Zack said, pushing Cloud through the crowd.

The wind had started picking up, blowing her crosswords out from under her hand. Gasping, Aerith grabbed at the flittering papers, only to reclaim one. Just as the wind seemed ghastly, a giant airship arrived on the scene, going fast.
As excited as the girl was to be living on an airship, having never been on one before, Aerith was also a bit peeved. Really, you'd think he'd have some decency when driving such a behemoth of a machine! They could've thought about some students who were waiting around, doing crossword puzzles.
In any case, the appearance of the headmaster and puking teachers (ew) threw away her distaste and allowed a bottle of nervousness pop its cork. "Wow!" Aerith's face brightened up into a sort of giddiness. It was so big, and the headmaster looked tough. And cool. You had to give him some credit for style.
"I can't wait!" She looked to the person beside her, who was staring at her, as though she were crazy. "We're going to be boarding that airship and living on it and going to school on it!" The pink clad girl exclaimed, not caring about the thoughts of said person.

The wind brushed violently against the student body as the enormous airship imprinted with the Shinra symbol landed. Vincent's hair stung his face as it flew rapidly against the currents much to his chagrin. Oh well, at least he didn't lose any crossword puzzles like the woman in pink did. He watched in utter horror as the headmaster and faculty made themselves known. What the hell is this? He watched in disgust as the teachers emptied their stomaches before setting his eyes upon the madman.
"You've got to be kidding me...." he stared in disbelief. If that was the new headmaster, then what is going to happen to the students? Would they be subjugated to certain abuse like the teachers? Vincent's eyebrows twitched involuntarily.
"Cloud... I found you!"
Vincent's attention perked as he searched for the voice. Cloud? And that voice...Zack? Vincent made his way through the crowd to search for his companions. Cloud and Zack were both long time friends of his, though, they've been parted in middle school due to his training to get into the Turks. He was accepted of course...though....unfortunately he was incredibly intelligent which Shinra found useful so they sent him to the Highwind Academy to nourish it. Vincent was surprised that his companions would be here though. Zack wasn't always so bright and Cloud was a bit naive. It didn't matter to him though.

"Lose something?" Said a dark, malevolent voice. A dark leathered-clad hand presented itself to the young lady in pink, holding one of the many lost cross word puzzles.
Aerith turned her green eyes up into gorgeous jade spectrums. Her cheeks flushed, but she managed to suppress it evenly. "Yes! Thank you." She took the papers back and held them close to her.
The hand belonged to a 6'0" young man with long silver hair, a few tendrils fluttering in the wind. He was very handsome and his eyes flickered with incredible intelligence. A genius of his age. Sephiroth.
"You best hold onto your papers. Wouldn't want to lose anything of importance." Sephiroth tilted his head slightly, a sign of ever-so-little concern.
"Yes, thank you, again." Aerith nodded, smiling nervously. Why was this genius of a man exchanging words with the likes of her? The thought was a little unnerving.

After weaving through the large student body, the raven-haired young man finally reached his companions.
"Cloud...Zack....long time no see. You guys haven't changed at all," Vincent greeted with a small smile.

Cloud turned around to see Vincent standing behind them. "Vincent...?" Cloud said, looking at him.
Zack quickly spun around. "Vincent! What are you doing here? I haven't seen you in a while! How are you?" He said quickly, letting go of Cloud.

"That was weird..." Aerith mumbled to herself, hands clutching the once scattered crosswords, as she watched the mysterious Sephiroth stalk off.
Where was he going? Why did he bother to help her collect what was lost? Sephiroth normally never helped anyone but himself. It was... a bit unnerving.
In any case, the airship was here, and they'd more than likely get inside soon. It looked like a good time to search for friends. If any were here, that is.
Seeing a crate nearby, she took the liberty of standing on top of it, and scout the scores of students. "Hmm... is that... a chocobo or a bit of moving yellow grass?" Aerith pondered, spotting spiked, blond hair sticking clearly out of the crowd.

"Cloud....Zack," Vincent greeted them with a nod, masking his happiness. Even in front of his friends, the raven-haired young man was careful not to show his emotions out of fear of rejection. His heart is easily crushed by betrayal.
"I'm fine. But enough about me...how is it that two goofballs managed to be admitted into the Highwind Academy? Was it by mistake I suppose or maybe you both actually have some talents that I don't know of?" Vincent found himself smirking despite himself.

Yuffie grinned as another clueless students possessions were taken away, Nyuk nyuk nyuk, another one down. She thought moving onward mischievously her hand finding it's way into a another unsuspecting victims pockets. The guy was tall, dark hair, and wearing some fancy black shirt and pants.
Tifa looked up at the airship in somewhat of a awe, her glasses a tad lopsided from the gust. She gripped the small pile of books tightly to her chest at the thought they were going to be living and going to school in what looked like a flying metal death trap. Well...might as well make the best of this.. She thought with a small sigh.

Vincent's smile faded when he felt someone break into his barrier...or rather...his pocket.
"Excuse me..." he muttered darkly and roughly grabbed the hand that sought to rob him of his possessions. Slowly he turned around and glared long and hard at the criminal with his blood-red eyes glowing rather dangerously.
"Girl...if you wish to keep that hand...I suggest that you keep it to yourself," he said coldly. He would've killed her if she even touched what he deemed most precious...a locket containing his beloved.

Cid gloated to himself at the reaction of the students. Some reacted with horror, others with annoyance, and others with complete awe. He scanned the group with hawk-like eyes, weeding out what he deemed weak and pathetic. He looked with interest at a couple of the students who appeared to have great potential and a strength that surpassed his expectations. Cid turned towards the administration.
"Alright you fools, go back in and tell my assistant pilot to start up the ship! We're gettin' ready to go now!" the man barked. A wave of relief seemed to wash over the administrators for they could relax when the assistant pilot took over. Eagerly they entered the airship.

Yuffie smiled sheepishly trying to find a way out of this. Coming up with a blank she decided the best next thing she took a deep breath and screamed loudly. Her eyes tearing up as she makes a mock attempt of pulling away. Heh..this guy doesn't know who he's messing with she thought to herself with a mental grin.
Tifa looked towards the source of the scream only to find a girl in a green t-shirt and tan pants trying to pull away from a tall guy in black.

Shock plastered Vincent's once calm face and he violently withdrew his hand. That damn thief! But before the raven-haired young man could retaliate, he suddenly became aware of the fact that he had a spotlight shined on him. Everyone stared with suspicion much to his chagrin. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead. What the hell am I going to do now? He wondered if Cloud and Zack would be there to bail him out of this situation.....or anyone else.
