The best way to find information about the characters is to read the stories. At this time, we have over 9 million words of canon storyline... much of which covers the 2006-2007 school year. We have recently started moving into the second school year in the original timeline, but also have a second canon author group working on a second major plotline ten years into the future (school year 2016-2017).

An alternate way to find 'specific' information is to reference the fan created/maintained WIKI.

As you recognized, the Shadowsblade stories are fan fic and one of the big factors in canon WU is that we try to create a much more scientifically sound version of mutant paranormals than the main comic industry types. For the most part, while they are superhuman... they aren't so powerful that they are disconnected from their humanity. Most mutants can be shot and injured by regular firearms. It might not KILL them outright due to reduced penetration or regenerative abilities... but only a couple types of mutants can actually completely ignore the potential of damage from baseline weapons. It's often noted that most of the Marvel Universe is relatively low powered compared to the Avengers, for example, but even the Avengers would have a tough time squaring off with DC's Justice League. We are (intentionally) below both of those. Whateley Universe mutants are more likely to be compared with characters like Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and so forth.

Skill is as important (if not more) than brute force power, and there are 'badass normals' who can challenge the strength of most mutants (there are baseline Martial Artists teaching at WA, as well as baseline mages and psychics in the world - mutants have advantages that allow them to skip years of difficult training and self discipline to get there... but in many cases, the baseline can be just as powerful).


But, as we include in the disclaimer, fan fiction / Independent Fiction (our new name for it) is what it is. It's not canon so you only have to worry about the mechanics and character personalities if you want to. You're welcome to try to fit close to canon if you wish, but if the story you want to tell requires you to go down other paths... go for it.

Welcome, enjoy.
