Boku no Hero: Hands On Experience

How to be a Hero in a Brave New World


Thirty years ago, a luminescent baby came into the world in the city of Quig Quig, China. As time went on, more and more of the world's youth were born with strange abilities and powers, soon coming to be known as Quirks. Initially feared, tensions were high before the rise of the Hero community. After an extraordinary earthquake struck Los Angeles, one man rose up to help: Marcus Smith. Born with a quirk that made him look well and truly terrifying, the optimistic young man saved countless lives, returning to the rubble again and again as he dug through the remains of the city for every last survivor. As he worked, others with special abilities joined him, helping in any way they could to save lives. They were Heroes. This event sparked the Hero trend, as young people around the nation and soon the globe used their Quirks to help people wherever and whenever they could, making the world a better place.

Today, the Hero community is one of the main pillars of society in the United States, though the trend is actively spreading around the world. Treated as stars, the best heroes are held in renown as shining examples of good in a world full of trouble, receiving ample publicity and generous government pensions. Realizing that the world could always use more Heroes, Marcus and a few similar friends set out to found the Apprentice program, where young people with promising powers could come to learn how to be a Hero with hands-on experience and a few friendly mentors to help them on their way. This is where you come in.

You are one of those few, talented youths. Over the course of the next two years, you will be embarking on a journey of self-discovery and hard work, figuring out the best ways to utilize your Quirks and make the world a better place. Today you take your first step towards finding yourself, your future, and the promise of one day becoming a true Hero.



















OLD STUDENTS: (This section only applies to those of you from Rob's old RP, everyone else can skip it.) If you guys want to keep your old Character Sheets, that's fine and dandy. I've read them all over, no one's broken, and it would provide a good basis for what people coming in are looking for in a good CS. That being said, if you can alter your backstories just a little bit so it makes sense that you're in America, that would be great. Thanks!





Those of you who have had character sheets already approved, please feel free to post those in the CS tab. For the rest of you, go ahead and write that money up and drop it in the OC for review and the CoGMs and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I’ll try to finish writing up the IC soon, at the BARE MINIMUM it will be up by Wednesday. I would like to put it up sooner, but do have work and exams and life going on, so no guarantees.

REMINDER


Quirks only came into existence thirty years ago, so the vast majority of your characters are the first people in their families with Quirks. Only 30% of the world's population has a Quirk so far, and of those roughly 35% have a Quirk that could be considered useful for professional Hero Quirk. In all likelihood, your Quirk is not a fusion of your parents' Quirks, as they would both have to be roughly 15-17 when they had you. That is an option you can pursue, but it is also something to remember. Thanks.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand mentions.

@Rex@samreaper@Iatos@Pirouette@NobodiesHero@TaliPaendrag@Tenma Tendo@Superboy@yahoo3422@Araby264@ChickenTeriyaki@Blu@Lady Selune@Prewiga@Holy Soldier@Cushu@Kalleth@pkken@Surtr@Rin@Stern Algorithm@Vongola_Hasayo@Grape@jynmi88

That should be everyone, I believe. Not much has changed from the Interest Check, soon there will be more information up on the assorted mentors and a little bit of information about the city around you, as it is a solid 50 years in the future from present day. Things are a little different in NYC, though not too much.

Throw new CS's in the OC for review, if you're already accepted slap that sucker in the CS tab. Thanks!

There was a little bit of confusion with your potential quirk. Check your PM's when you get a chance, you never got back to me on the specifics.

One thing, make sure to change the backstory. You're still set up for Rob's old RP with Kosei Academy and a Quirk in the family.

Yes. Yours is actually... a little complex. There's an ongoing debate as things stand right now. I'll tell you more in the PM's later

Sorry for the delay guys, I have some pretty serious stuff going on IRL at the moment, but I'll try to get back to both of you in about... four and a half hours. Teriyaki, we'll probably make your quirk in one form or another, it's just going to need a few limitations. Additionally, if you could change the faceclaim to something drawn/anime and mention somewhere in the backstory how he came to know Arnis, if it's just a hobby thing etc., that would be great.

All good,just remember to change the backstory to incorporate the fact that Quirks are much more uncommon/those who have them are at least under thirty, and that Kosei Academy ISN'T where you're going :P

@Tominas That is so strange. I took Ryoma's CS from the interest thread for this. It should have had his updated history in it, yet it was his old one. Everything is fixed now. I added in the fact that Ryoma's sister, Makoto, was one of the first to be discovered with a Quirk. She's 27. If you want to use her as an NPC, go ahead, I have a Quirk in mind for her and everything.
