BOKU NO HERO ACADEMIA
Imagine a world where superpowers were the norm. A world where everyo- or almost everyone is born super. These superpowers are known as Quirks and 80% of the world's population possesses a Quirk. Most of these Quirks tend to be mundane but there are those born with great power. And among those who wield great power, there are some who tend to abuse it.
Yuuei is the #1 ranked High School in Japan for heroics and is considered as the top Hero Academy in the world. Here, students are trained to become professional superheroes; people that maintain the peace by battling against those who use their Quirks for heinous crimes. Students are separated into specific Departments and Classes - A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K. You have recently enrolled and been selected as the cream of the crop, in short, you're Class A material. What sort of adventures await you?
Quirks
Quirks, despite whatever impression they give, are all physical functions of the body. For example, your sweat could contain nitroglycerin, allowing you to create explosions freely at will. There are three general classes of Quirks; Transformers, Mutants and Activators. Transformers are people whose Quirk's transforms either a certain part or the entirety of their body. Stuff like turning into steal or becoming super sized. Mutants may seem like transformers but their physical form is permanent as are their powers. They do not have the ability to turn them off. People categorized under Mutants tend to have multiple abilities. Every other Quirk falls under Activators. Pyrokinesis, telekinesis or super strength, all of which consciously activated otherwise they have regular human bodies. It's the most broad classification and there are huge varieties of powers, such as controlling gravity or creating a blackhole.
It is possible to possess multiple Quirks but these are extremely rare occurrences. It is however, common for a single Quirk to do multiple things. For example, the ability to manipulate temperature could mean you control both fire and ice.
If you're wondering how strong your Quirk should be, take whatever you currently have in mind and scale it down several notches. If you can level a building, then you would definitely be considered strong. No immortality, no reality warping and etc.
Rules
Acceptable grammar.
Quality over quantity.
Respect other players, try to avoid killing please unless both parties consent.
No godmodding/powerplaying.
No metagaming.
No speedposting. Especially when you're in a group. Don't leave people out.
Please don't just vanish. If you want to go on hiatus, I will allow it so you can return at a later time.
Post character in OOC and await approval before creating it in the character bucket.
Be considerate and realistic in battle posts. E.g. no autohits, no asspulls and no ignoring relevant battle posts.
Please no villains yet. Not able to monitor 24/7.
Main characters of the class or teachers are allowed, though OC are great too!
Please avoid copying other characters from other series so far, want to focus on Quirks and such first!
Finally, HAVE FUN!!!
So new thing I wanted to add that should be able to add a fair amount of fairness to roleplay. There will be stats! Yes, stats!! The stats will be the following:
Strength (STR) - Want to carry someone or that civilian to safety? Going to need this stat then.
Dexterity (DEX) - Want to do that front flip through the window, land in a roll, then end it all not on your face? This stat is quite important then.
Stamina (STA) - How looong are you holding out there m'boy? Can you take a single blow or several? Might want this if you want to take the several.
Wisdom (WIS) - Know your right and lefts? If you don't, you might want to invest more in here.
Intelligence (INT) - One plus one equals....might need some more points here to figure that problem out.
Charisma (CHA) - Hey, striking a very fashionable pose while fighting or lying to your enemies about how scary you are is a great skill!
Quirk - How much control do you have over it? Good news though, everyone here has at least a 2 in this category.
Most humans have a Skill Level of 1 in a certain stat, but 0 in everything else.
The Stat Levels (SL for short) above help dictate how strong or weak one is in certain areas. That way, it's much easier to dictate how things roll in roleplay. Plus, the teacher or head of the session can award Stat Point awards at the end or such depending on how the group treats each situation! Everyone in the group start off with 12 points, though 20 Stat Level is so far the highest in any category. At every third point (so at stat point 4) in a category, the stat point needed to increase the stat level would be 2 (so raising a STR 3 --> 4 requires 2 points). This happens at every 3 levels so don't forget! Finally there are two ways so far to increase without Stat Points:
1) Very Significant Item/Tool - Gives you a +1 Stat Levels to 3 Stats (has to be the same stats over and over, can't choose a new three each time). Has to be an item of HIGH SIGNIFICANCE to your character. A rusty wrench that your family passed down through generations, sure. A pair of fancy shoes you find...not so much.
2) Quirk - Got super strength? Super durability? Get yourself a +3 Stat Levels in that Stat you love so much, and a +1 in Quirk. However, you do have to take a -1 in any Stat Level of your choice as a drawback!
I want to give one last shoutout to the user Animus who created the original Boku no Hero Academia Roleplay forum. Things apparently happened over there and seems like it hasn't been on for a while. However, if he wishes for this to close so he can continue his, I'll be willing to do so. Hope you guys enjoy and sorry if I'm slow!!
