HEADMASTER JEAN VALJEAN Mythian Academy has a long history, and Jean Valjean has been the Headmaster for only around eight years. He seemed to have dropped in out of nowhere, an angel sent from God himself to guide and lead the school to prosperity, and in the last eight years, that prosperity has been achieved. Valjean is a kind but fair Headmaster, always making sure the student body is well-looked after. His priorities lie with the students, and he makes a note to treat everyone like family; waving hello in the hallways, making sure people are comfortable where they're at. That said, Valjean is a very busy man, and can usually be found working in his office around the clock. SECRETARY CECIL G. PALMER Where Valjean is busy, Cecil is not. The undersecretary for Mythian Academy, Cecil seems to have an arm (or a tentacle?) in everything. He is the voice you hear over the morning announcements, but also the presence who tucks you in at night. He's kind and personable and just loooves the Academy, and everyone in it. In fact, sometimes it seems like Cecil could be in twenty places at once, but he doesn't seem to acknowledge it as anything odd or different--he just is, and he just always seems to know everything about the school. "Good reporting", he'd call it. "Eyes in the back of his head", the students might. And maybe he does have eyes in his head--no one's ever seen him to know. PROFESSOR LUCIEN ENJOLRAS Enjolras is a lively but strict teacher, rousing and passionate in his lessons, but Mythian Politics is far from an easy A. Enjolras takes his work very seriously, but is generally soft when people express interest and dedication in his class. In addition, he also teaches Fire Finery, which is an advanced fire class, focusing on it as more an art from than a tool for destruction. He's not shy to admit that he's part of a revolutionary group that's dedicated to showing the humans their unjust ways and making amends to them -- however, as of right now, the group Les Amis de l'ABC is solely invested in rallying and gathering recruits, instead of revolting. PROFESSOR ORANE GRANTAIRE A recent addition to the teaching staff, Grantaire is one of the art professors (specializing in 2D art, such as drawing and painting) and teaches fire basics, a class he has affectionately nicknamed Fire and You: A Lesson in Not Spontaneously Combusting. One of the far more laid back members of the faculty, his teaching method is more casual than anything and he allows students to have a great deal of freedom during his lessons. PROFESSOR DEREK HALE Having taught at the academy for a few years now, Derek is the professor for Mythian history and survival training, the latter of which includes both wilderness training and the unfortunately necessary integration into human society. While not extremely strict - being more forgiving if approached, or the infraction is not exactly severe - he takes his classes seriously, especially the one that's meant to ensure your survival. PROFESSOR DESTINY RUMANCEK As Hecate reincarnated, Destiny teaches a Divination class, made to help students get more in touch with their souls apart from their body, as well as learn the basics of how to tell the future -- in reading tarot cards, a crystal ball, tea leaves, etc. Destiny is notorious for being a very laid back teacher, though is also known for having episodes when visions come to her. She also teaches Earth Growing class, which focuses on teaching the earth kids how to grow different kind of plants and herbs depending on the climate, quality of the earth, and so on. ( She also might run an undercover drug selling business but. You didn't hear it here, okay? ) In addition, she also teaches the Greek class. PROFESSOR NEWT GEISZLER But, seriously, call him Newt. Mister Newt if you really have to call him something like that. As a teacher, he's way more likely to be causing any accidents to happen than any of his students, which is saying something considering he's in charge of Basic Flight and Science. That said, he still expects your work to be turned in and on time. He's fun and laid back but still a teacher.
