To most of the world, the Ishinomori Academy is simply a perfectly normal, if exclusive boarding school in the perfectly normal town of Asagata. However, this couldn't be much further from the truth. The Academy's student body is made up entirely of transforming superheroes, and the curriculum reflects this. In addition to standard subjects, students study to improve their effectiveness against the forces of evil. The town itself plays an important role in the Academy's unique goals, having been built in what is quite possibly the single worst location on the planet.
To elaborate, the town is located near a haunted Sengoku era battlefield, with an island of animals mutated into sapient humanoids (who believe their rapid evolution to be a sign of their superiority and right to rule over mankind) by less than ethical experiments by a local laboratory and to top it all off, a series of caves further inland seem to serve as a portal to Hell. Normally, this would be grounds for everyone to pack their bags and leave, not to mention making an awful environment to educate children. However, the Academy serves to keep the townspeople safe while using these assorted threats to aid in training the heroes of tomorrow, teaching them the value of teamwork, as well as how to adapt to a variety of foes.
While many of the Academy's students are recruited after being chosen by a deity, finding artifacts of ancient super-science or otherwise gaining their heroic identity, there are rare instances where people are scouted for particularly impressive acts of courage. These students are gifted devices from the Academy's research teams to allow them to transform. However, just because someone is approached by the Academy's representatives doesn't mean they have to attend, in the end the choice lies with them and their families.
So, this RP will follow the students of a school for magical girls/boys and tokusatsu-style heroes in the fictional Japanese town of Asagata through a perfectly normal school year where nothing will go wrong, honest. The RP is intended to be light-hearted and comedic for the most part, although there will be serious moments in the plot. That said, it should still have the potential to come back to comedy after those events.
