UPDATES
August 8th, 2009 - TRA is now listed as one of Spotlight's featured sites! I'm truly honored. Check it out!
August 6th, 2009 - TRA will be in the running to be the site of the month for Priscilla's SOTM site, Spotlight! This is just a heads up, though. Voting hasn't begun yet. July 15th, 2009 - An FAQ Section has been created and set up! More will be added to it soon. July 6th, 2009 - TRA officially opens; counter is set up.
Why an "Ultimate Genius" Directory?Take a look around. Everywhere you go, you'll find yourself face to face with one heck of an impressive pet. Imagine: an unconverted Plushie Draik. Just the thought of one makes your heart twinge with desire. Or maybe you'll catch sight of a valiant, vigorous Lupe who has the battledome stats of a Neopian Gladiator. Impressed? You must be, in some shape or form. After all, those characteristics were achieved by a lot of time and determination.But let's face it: a pretty Draik or a strapping young Lupe is nothing without a proper education.
 If there's one thing that'll get you places in Neopia, it's intelligence. After all, a dull, slow-witted Neopet just won't charm the pants off of Queen Fyora or King Altador, now will he? Pets that have reached the status of ULTIMATE GENIUS are rarely appreciated (directory-wise) when they have every reason to be. Owners have worked hard to buy book after book, and as a result, they have suffered through chants and cries of "That is like, such a boring book!" or "I have read that book already!" Every book and every complaint is worth it, though. Knowing that one's pet can get into any prestigious academy in Neopia is pretty nifty, and it's definitely something to flaunt! The Fascination of EducationFrequently Asked Questions
In need of some answers? See if you can find any here!
How exactly are pets ranked by intelligence?
Dim Witted (0 - 3 points)
Are there any other ways to increase a pet's intelligence besides having them read books? Coltzan's Shrine - The spirit of the deceased King can make your pet sturdier, can provide you with a bit of food that has seen too much sand, and can even make your hands glow blue. Yet here's another thing: he can increase your pet's intelligence. You can always count on King Coltzan III. Neggs - An ever tasty and luxurious treat, the negg is more than a superior dessert. Neggs have magical powers that can alter a pet in many ways, some good, and some bad. Neggs that can increase a pet's intelligence include the Genius Negg (raises intelligence and gives you 1 of 6 books) and two other exceptional neggs. The Kaleideonegg can be another way to increase your pet's intelligence, but that would be pretty risky for it will randomly alter one of these features of your pet: either color, species, gender, or stats, positively or negatively, meaning it can even lower intelligence. The chances would be pretty low, though! The Witchy Negg may increase intelligence by 5 points, but it does not always happen.
Definitely avoid the following neggs listed:
My pet is a picky reader! Is there any solution to this? If, for any reason, you do not want to use the method mentioned, then you can either sell the book or read it to a different pet. There are plenty of books in Neopia; certainly your picky reader will find one he or she can enjoy. (;
Is there a species that is just naturally intelligent?
This FAQ is still under construction.
Do you have any questions that you feel should be added to the FAQ? Contact me!
The Rewards of Being Knowledgeable
Although reading and learning should be done for the sake of reading and learning, the pets who do the absolute best aren't left unrewarded. Yes, there is a prize for those who can top their fellow peers. Undoubtedly, the Neopian Book Award is a prestigious honor that's definitely worth reading hundreds of books for.
The Neopian Book Award isn't the only award out there, though. If you visit the Booktastic Book Shop on Kreludor, you'll find that all the books there are in a totally different league! Any pet who reads enough of these Booktastic Books will receive the Booktastic Book Award, which is a cute little badge. Now those knowledgeable pets can flaunt their wit on their school blazer lapels!
Book Shops in Neopia!
There seem to be book shops popping up wherever you go! Looking to boost up your pet's intelligence? Check out these shops; maybe one of them will really appeal to your pet's interest.
Magical Bookshop - Neopia Central
Influential Scholars of Neopia
The Students
And finally, the scholars of the Radiance Academy themselves. The pets are organized alphabetically by species and species ONLY. Unfortunately, what with these pets studying everyday (or slacking off; some may have decided to take a self-proclaimed Special Pet Day), it's terribly difficult to update their intelligence points. You'll have to visit their pet lookups to see the number for yourself.
Hover over the links for an image, plus some more additional information on the student! Be forewarned; the browser Opera does not support this feature, so try using IE or FF to view this page. Give a round of applause for Trisha, a.k.a kattrish for this option! Thanks for the coding, Trisha. (: ATTN: I have just discovered the importance of breaking up this section with images! Haha, borders based on species are being made at this moment and should be up soon enough.

Lab Ray Pets
Although pets that are UFT or UFA are not accepted in TRA, lab ray pets certainly are! If you're planning on enrolling a pet that you zap daily, please explain this to me so that I can categorize them specially! If you deem that your pet is done with zapping because you are satisfied with the turnout, contact me and I'll place your pet into the correct species list.
Farewell
Did you enjoy roaming the halls of the Radiance Academy? Well, I sure hope you did! I know all of the students enjoyed it; they like nothing more than being gazed at in admiration and respect. Who wouldn't ? (; Of course, feel free to visit again and again! With Neopia's population increasing by the minute, pets are sure to be rolling in with their books in tow, ready to take Neopia by storm. The Radiance Academy is always changing, one pet at a time.
I'd like to thank my owner, wanderlustre, for taking the time to help me out with this directory! It's been a long, painful journey, but-- You're darn right this has been long and painful! You had me work on this for three days straight with no sleep. Laystone Lustre, just because I'm a pushover, it does not mean you have the right to exploit that and-- Mom! Shush! Ahaha... she's only kidding. Anyway, if you have enrolled your pet at TRA, or if you're ready to lend a hand, make sure to pick a little button to link back to us with! Spread the fascination of education! Thank you, guest, for viewing this site. My owner and I truly appreciate your interest!

TRA is in the running to be one of the best pet pages out there! Voting doesn't begin until September 2nd, but be sure to drop by Spotlight and vote for TRA once the round begins. (:
Enroll Your Pet!
Want to enroll your genius into the Radiance Academy? If your pet meets the following guidelines, feel free to apply.
1. Your pet must have an intelligence status of Ultimate Genius (95 and up)
2. Your pet must not be UFA or UFT
Application FormCURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING ANY APPLICANTS.ATTN: Please read ALL of the following and abide by my requests. I know it can be tedious, but it's terribly hard to organize this site if applications aren't sent in an organized manner. If you fail to follow these guidelines, I will neomail you to inform you that you must send in your application again in the proper manner I require. Do you have more than one pet that you want to enroll? Please send them in separate neomails. Also, please do not submit neopets that are not your own!
The Application
I will contact you with a message once your pet is registered and listed!
*Partial, meaning roleplay is generally closed but exceptions can be made
Important!
If any changes occur, please contact me! You should inform me about any species changes, frozen accounts, or if your pet (yours specifically) wins a Book Award. If such things happen, contact me so that I can alter the information in order to accommodate those changes. After all, I'm just a tiny little Shoyru! I can't keep up with all these changes by myself.
Also, if you want something changed, such as your pet's description or your roleplay status, NM about that as well. Please be reasonable, though. My owner likes to keep me busy, so I don't have a whole lot of time for this directory! I try, though. (;
