[OOC] How To Be A Hero - A My Hero Academy RP

_{[Discord Server]}

✮ HOW TO BE A HERO ✮

| MODERN | SCHOOL LIFE | SUPERPOWERS | MID CASUAL |

_{This RP will be based on My Hero Academia, but will be influenced by other series; good examples would be One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100. Despite drawing inspiration from the shonen genre, I plan to include some sort of realism in the story along with darker and more serious themes. A general plot will be present, but will be used more as a guide than something we'll be strictly adhering to.}

SETTING

PREMISE

Superpowers are still relatively new to mankind. First discovered for over a century ago, it was news of a baby that gave off a luminescent glow right after it was born. Since then, strange abilities have been sprouting up across the world. Time passed without the cause being identified; scientists have struggled to find out the cause behind this, lamenting it to evolution, however there is no solid evidence to what brought about this new super gene.

Naturally, humans were scared. They were met with newfound powers, dangerous and abnormal. For much of the first few decades, supers received brutal discrimination and punishment. Many were forced into camps and prisons and some were stolen away for experimenting. But as the numbers increased and the supers became more knowledgeable of their own abilities, they banded together and rose against authoritative figures. As history shows, with time and persistence, compassion begins to grow. The supers collaborated with humans, working side by side to protect civilization and prove that supers aren't all power-hungry monsters. There are a handful of people that have made a stand for the rights of supers and influenced the world to follow in their ideals who led the people with their brilliant and passionate words, opening the door to a brighter future for both humans and supers. Before we knew it, the supernatural became natural, and dreams had become reality.

We now live in a superhuman society with majority of the world's population possessing some kind of special trait. In this world swirling with chaos, the profession that everyone once dreamed about and admired came into the limelight. That profession is...still not quite yours. You are not a professional hero, the symbols of hope and peace for the entire world. You are a student, not at one of the top academies in the entire country, but in a newly established institution that aims to cater to those who are deemed less fortunate in one way or another. Those who failed to pass the grueling entrance examinations of other institutions, lacked financial aid and resources, or individuals who were not blessed with amazing quirks, none of those hold any bearing. No matter your background or upbringing, you’ll always have a place here.

Our story takes place 50 years from the original series. Here you'll be playing as the pioneer batch of the newly established Kosei Academy. The school itself was founded by the hero, Arata Sako. Why would you enroll to such a young school? Well, aside from the high quality of education, top-class training they promise, and various scholarships, they only require a single thing from their applicants; a strong sense of heroism.

Welcome to Kosei Academy! This year will certainly be an interesting one. Please, enjoy it to its fullest.

QUIRK CREATION

When coming up with a Quirk, I suggest to go for simplicity over innate versatility. Most of the Quirks in the series are relatively simple in both concept and application, so try and avoid creating one that comes with a whole set of rules. Most, if not all Quirks, are more of unique biological functions of the body and not some magical ability. I'm not saying that we need to come up with a scientific explanation for the Quirks, just pick something that fits with the setting we have. If you're hoping for something that has a less organic feel, here are some good examples.

SPOILERS

• Meatball
• Black Hole
• Warp Gate
• Homing
• Dark Shadow

A good example would be Bakugo's Explosion Quirk. Despite being as simple as it is, its an amazing ability because of how it is utilized. Kirishima's Hardening Quirk is as bland as it can get, but honestly, its just so practical. Even some of the flashier ones, such as Denki's Electrification, is relatively simple. The power it can produce is definitely significant, but he is only able to discharge electricity indiscriminately; no launching bolts of electricity or increasing his reflexes with electrical charges.

So when coming up with abilities, just keep it simple and we'll be okay.

MUST KNOWS

• Rules: I'm assuming that were all adults here, or at least are mature enough, to know what's acceptable when it comes to role-playing. Just respect the site's general rules, don't forget to communicate with each other if uncertainties arise, and avoid any form of toxicity.
• Expectations: In terms of writing, I'm hoping for posts that at least follow the basics of grammar and spelling. No strict word count is expected, we're going for quality over quantity, but no one liners. Avoid posts that stagnate the story and be proactive when needed.
• Applications: For now, no strict rule for character application. Just apply the same rules for writing and follow the format provided for the sheet. I'll get back to you as soon as I can with a review of your character along with any needed edits.
• Scheduling: No exact level of pacing will be indicated due to how erratic life can get. However, given the right crowd, the story can progress quite rapidly. At most, I'll probably dish out updates every two to three days, then longest interval between updates would be once weekly. In the event such a thing occurs and you aren't able to keep up, please inform the rest of the participants. Just update us on your schedule if issues arise, so that we'll be aware and informed.
• Spoilers: Some of us might not be too familiar with the manga, so let's keep our discussion limited to the information given to us from the anime. If it can't be helped, try your best to not make manga-related information too apparent in any of our threads. If you want to discuss your theories and whatnot, maybe you could do it via PM. I'll try and create some sort of Discord Server for the RP if we get more participants.
• Others: My goal here is for everyone to enjoy themselves. If you're not, please let me know what's wrong. I'm open-minded and very flexible. So don't hesitate to speak up.

KOSEI ACADEMY

THE ACADEMY

_{Male Dorm (1) | Female Dorm (2) | Principal's Residence (4) | Faculty Residences (5) | Training Facility (7)
Main Building (9) | Library (10) | Main Entrance (21) | Path to Park/Garden (23) | Path to Security Personnel Dorm (25) | Mountain Trail (26)}

What makes Kosei different from other academies is the unique curriculum they provide their students with. Although questioned by many, general education has been omitted from the school's teaching syllabus. However, it remains optional for students to take up if they prefer to do so; staff and facilities for such learning would always be available.

Another decision made by the administration that has caused some controversy, is what the media referred to as the premature exposure of the students to actual field training and early internship with the agencies affiliated to the academy.

Focus is redirected towards the heroics course while supporting whatever talents the students excel in. Instead of creating well-rounded heroes and heroines, through the promotion of a competitive environment, Kosei aims to produce what could accurately be described as specialists.

The institute itself is located on an artificial island connected by a large bridge to Musutafa Port. Although heavily influenced by classical architecture, it has a great number of facilities that accommodates each and every students' needs, fostering the growth in their individual strengths. For now, only a total of a hundred students may attend the academy. Despite the strict limitations to how many students can attend the school, the academy encompasses majority of the island and appears more like a small village from a distance, instead of a massive institution.

RANKS

Kosei Academy works on a reward system that grants greater privileges and rights to those with higher rankings. You will see that those with higher rankings will have nicer dorms, less restrictions, and greater influence over school. Do note, however, that lower rankings will not leave you with less. You are guaranteed everything you need to succeed in your training no matter your ranking. Repercussions exists for those who continue to remain in the bottom rankings and show no strive for improving. The natural question here is how does one rise up in the rankings. There are two ways in which to accomplish this.

First there is the old fashioned way. Do well in your training and outperform them and you will see your rank gradually rise up. This is the safest way to do it but it will take a longer period of time regardless of your results.

The second involves a degree of risk. You can challenge anyone of your colleagues for their rank. These are formal challenges and must be officiated by a member of the faculty. The challenged has the right to choose the location, time, and rules of the match. If you succeed you will gain their rank while they will fall down to your previous ranking. If you lose then you are banned from further challenges for the remainder of the term. If you fail three challenges you are then expelled.

QUESTIONS

• Q: Can you only challenge students of a higher rank than you?
  A: You can challenge any student, but there isn't that much to gain when challenging those lower ranked than you. Rejecting challenges is also an option.
• Q: Are we ranked yet?
  A: Currently, everyone's unranked.
• Q: You get expelled when you lose three challenges, regardless of if you're the challenger or the challenged? Or is it if you lose three when you challenge you get expelled?
  A: I used the word fail and not lose. The three lose rule only applies to the challenger.
• Q: Does a member of faculty have to witness it?
  A: Yup. A faculty should be watching to make it an official challenge.
• Q: Are there universal rules to challenges? I.E., does it have to be a fight, or can it be any sort of task?
  A: No hard rules aside from no killing, I guess. But regarding the details of the match, I think I mentioned that it's up for the challenger to decide. One can skew the challenge to make the odds work for them, but if the handicap is too obvious, one could just reject an unfair challenge.
• Q: Can those challenges involve other people? For example, if challenged, could I choose a 2v2 volleyball match as the competition?
  A: Depending on the challenge, but the answer is yes. The only difference here is how you'd handle in dealing with the trading of ranks.

POINTS

In order to curb the influence of outside factors, you will find that money has no value here. All stores instead require points which you will accumulate during your stay here. Your student ID will act as your debit card while you study here and can be used to spend your points. How do you get points? Simple. You will be rewarded a weekly allowance of points based upon your ranking. You will also receive points from teachers for exceptional work. The quickest way to gain points, however, is to perform well in the various events hosted throughout the term as the winners here are awarded various rewards which often include copious amounts of points.

What do you use your points on? Your dorm room, school supplies, and daily meals come free. Points will be used for anything outside those areas. Anything you wish to acquire can be gotten. Whether you want to buy higher quality meals, furniture for you room, or better equipment, all can be gained through the use of points; requests can be made as well. Guard your IDs well for without them you will find yourself quite out of luck.

Kaito Hamasaki

_{Height: 5'9” / 175 cm
Weight: 172 lbs / 78 kg}

Name: Hamasaki, Kaito
Age: 16
Gender: Male

Personality:

Kaito is a trickster who likes to pull pranks on unsuspecting people. Most of which are harmless, but he does not hold back against teachers. He can be really creative and unpredictable, which can be applied to his own quirk and achieve its full potential. He thinks highly of his quirk, often brags about it in a teasing manner. Ironically, he has never told his parents about his quirk. He is confident that no one would be able to catch him. Except by a teacher of course, thus in the end he earns a trip to detention.

Aside from the pranks, he is genuinely friendly to other students, but rather hostile and rebellious towards teachers or adults in general. He simply does not trust any one of them. He has a tendency of doing things on his own and acts selfishly when it came down to searching for his sister's whereabouts. Which leaves him prone to being manipulated if he is pressured into believing his goal is within his grasp.

When it comes down to fighting or any sport really, he can become rather competitive and aggressive the longer it drags on. His reflexes are insanely good, possibly the best trait he has to compliment his teleportation ability and his strength follows closely behind. Although, he can be easily outmatched by someone with a quirk which increases their defenses or an attack which would knock out a normal person, Kaito himself won't fall so easily because he is not normal.

Background:

Kaito has lived in Tokyo for about a year after he ran far away from home in search for his twin sister. They were separated at birth, after an unknown villain supposedly kidnapped her. He wasn't told about it by his parents until he was older, but always felt he had some kind of connection to his long lost sister. The day before he left his home, he saw a news report about mysterious kidnappings in Tokyo. The victims were newborn babies who were already born with their quirks. This got him into thinking that his sister was most likely targeted for that reason. Although Kaito is a twin, his sister was actually born with her quirk while his did not manifest until age four. With both of his parents quirkless and having his own quirk being kept a secret from them, Kaito selfishly decided he was going to take matters into his own hands.

When Kaito first arrived in the city a year ago, he was endlessly searching for his sister day in and day out. This went on for a couple of days before he realized that he couldn't really survive on his own. So he did small jobs for the locals and occasionally got his hands dirty until he got some connections which allowed him to attend school regularly under a new name. The short time he spent with criminals made him distrust adults and begun to hate himself for doing their kind of work. Although, he did receive useful information on the one is looking for.

In preparation for fighting his greatest enemy, he has been focused on developing his physical and combat skills throughout most of the year. Before he left home, he regularly attended mixed martial arts classes for the quirkless since he was young. With his own quirk being kept under wraps at the time, he managed to advance up to a level where quirks were allowed during spars. His physical condition was slightly above average, just enough to be at the lowest rank in the quirk level without relying on his own. Now that he is under a new identity, this gave him the opportunity to freely use his quirk during class, placing him within the top ten of his class at 6th place in such a short time.

The reason he chose Kosei Academy is to become strong enough to capture his target villain and find his sister. His MMA classes do not really focus on refining individual quirks, but on how to utilize them within the rules of the octagon. It is not enough for him to accept that, if he wants to go all out then attending Kosei Academy will do that. He does not really care about being a hero or anything like that, if Kosei Academy can help him achieve his goals then so be it. If not, then he is willing to turn somewhere else.

Quirk: Point to Point

A teleportation quirk which can be used on himself or anything else he touches, including people. However, the maximum weight he can teleport is 344lbs/156kg, which just so happens to be two times his own weight. If he tries to teleport anything beyond his weight limit then nothing will happen. Additionally, he needs to see the location where he wants to teleport. Teleporting through memory requires intense concentration to get the precise location. The maximum distance he can teleport is within a 25 meter radius.

Every time Kaito teleports, his stamina decreases. So, he can eventually pass out if he teleports beyond his limit. His stamina can affect the amount of time it takes to teleport, only if he is teleporting anything greater than his own weight (172lbs/78kg). The teleportation process is instantaneous, even if he is low on stamina, on the condition that if he is teleporting either himself or objects less than his own weight. Any object greater than his own weight will cause some delay which will gradually increase the closer he gets to his overall weight limit and will factor in the status of his current stamina.

Talents:

• Tennis, Baseball, Basketball
• Mixed Martial Arts
• Setting up pranks

@Animal Yeah, it's all ready for Kaito.

Here we go bois.

I'll start hammering out the fine details of this character sheet tonight. Don't know when it'll be done.

[yahoo3422]

Iccho Matsuo

Height: 5'6" (167.64 cm)
Weight: 176 lb (80 kg)

Name: Matsuo, Iccho

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Personality:
Iccho is rather stern and always looking to take charge of a situation. The reason he wants to be in charge because he feels others will screw up. He fully believes in his capabilities and is slow to trust others in basically everyway. This belief that he has the right to be in charge can lead to others feeling Iccho can be abrasive, and that is a kind word for it. He realizes this flaw in himself, but it is rather difficult to overcome.
His biggest fear is failure, so he tries to his best to succeed in everything he does. This is not realistic and it causes him to take failures a lot harder than he should. This leads to an overcompetitive “spirit.” He pushes himself and others to the point of breaking. He has the capability of being a strong and good leader, but he has many personal flaws that he needs to work on to reach his potential.

Background:
Iccho was born and raised in Tsushima, Nagasaki. This means that the whole new world of Kosei Academy will be a whole new experience for Iccho. His father was a fisherman and his mother worked as a school teacher. Iccho idolized his father and how strong he was. When Iccho started to develop his quirk, it was a natural fit on a fishing boat. It is a lot easier to transport fish when they have been paralyzed. He started to go out on his father’s ship, so Iccho has the strength of a fisherman. He works out every day to reach his father.
However, all changed when his father’s boat was destroyed in a storm created by a supervillain. His father took his ship out into the storm to help save a ferry that was caught in the storm. Iccho saw how brave his father was and this inspired Iccho to pursue being a hero. His mother did everything she could to push Iccho away from being a hero, but it was to no avail. Iccho had a group of friends who would help solve problems around the city, but they grew apart when Iccho wanted to take it more seriously and his friends wanted to just have fun.
When his friends abandoned him, Iccho became determined to become a real hero just like his father was. His first option was obviously H.A. High, but he was not able to pass the entrance exam due to his stubbornness when it came to working with others. He did not want to just go into general studies, so he decided to apply to Kosei Academy. It was a new school, and Iccho got into the hero course. He knows that he has to change his ways if he wants to become a hero, but it is hard to trust others when everyone he trusts have abandoned him.

Quirk:
Poison Quill
His body hair can accumulate a large amount of keratin, so his body hairs become sharp quills that can come out of any pore. They are currently only able to be rather small, about 3 inches (7.62 cm). He is able to remove the quills and through them towards his enemy. Iccho can only recuperate his quills about 4 times in a short fight. This limits his ability to throw quills, and can defend himself.
The quills also have a slight paralytic poison on the tips that paralyze a small portion of a human’s body (i.e. if a person gets hit on the upper arm then their upper arm will be paralyzed). The poison is currently not potent enough to spread far in the body or cause major organ failure. Iccho has been able to build up an immunity to his poison over time, so he is not affected by it whenever his body secretes it.

Skills:
Strength and balance gained by working on a fishing boat.
Knowledge of the fish in the waters around Japan.
Very strong swimmer.

You may noticed that I edited some of the coding and fixed up some typos. Otherwise, didn't do much. Everything seems about right. Quirk is perfectly simple and balance, just what I was looking for. Iccho is officially accepted!

Just use the edited copy that I made and feel free to post it in the character tab. Thanks!

Eir Hayashi

_{Height: 5'1 ft / 154.94 cm
Weight: 101 lbs / 46 kg}

---

---

Name: Hayashi, Eir
Age: 13
Gender: Female

Personality:

Eir is a timid girl that doesn't like to stand out in a crowd. She enjoys the solace of silence rather than the company of others more often than not. Hayashi lacks confidence; she constantly questions her abilities, and whether or not she can measure up to the standards expected of her. Eir is far from the ideal hero. She's cowardly, uncertain and unable to stand up for herself. Her introverted nature usually leads Eir to having few friends. If it was for her to decide, Hayashi would never have signed up for the hero course at Kosei Academy. She'd much rather focus on her true passion: art. Eir had always had a natural talent for drawing. Since the teen has a tendency to bottle up her emotions and not share how she feels with others, Eir uses her art as a means of expressing herself. Whenever she isn't rigorously studying to become a better hero, Hayashi is probably working on her next sketch. Eir realizes she isn't living for herself, but doesn't have it in her to change anything about the direction her life is taking.

Background:

Eir Hayashi was born in Kanuma, Tochigi to Teruo and Shoko Hayashi. Teruo, her father, was the physics teacher at a local high school. Her mother ran a general store in town. Teruo had always wanted to be a hero. It was his dream since he was just a boy. He had idolized the profession and those that took it upon themselves to become superheroes. Teruo had tried to become one himself.
But alas, his quirk was near useless for hero work; he could know the answer to any equation he wrote down using a number two pencil. A fine skill for a teacher, but one Teruo could never make use of in his desired profession. Devastated by his own personal failure, Teruo tried to live out his dream through his only child, Eir Hayashi. Her quirk manifested when she was three, when Eir fell thirty five feet straight down into a pit and survived the fall unscathed- albeit, the little girl had been covered in bone-like armor when the authorities retrieved her. Her father was overjoyed when she was returned to his arms. Not because she was alive, but because of the fantastic quirk his child had. The man quickly set her path in stone: she was to be a hero, and nothing less would satisfy her dad.

She felt the pressure of Teruo's expectations throughout her whole life. He pushed her to become what he wanted her to be, shunning anything the child might want for herself as folly. Eir quickly learned to never speak up in disagreement with her old man, because...consequences...always followed. Silent consent was the best way for young Hayashi to avoid the disapproving glare she had come to fear. This defense mechanism leaked into the rest of Eir's life, turning the vibrant child quiet as the grave. She retreated into her shell, finding her only joy in drawing. Even as a child, Eir liked to make pretty pictures. Her wild imagination could be put to the page. Through her pictures, Eir could dream of being something more than her parent's expectations. Eir could be a teacher, an astronaut or a farmer. Or a four headed dragon monster. Whatever she wanted to be, Hayashi could use a pencil or a crayon to make it real.

As time passed, Eir excelled in school. She had an excellent memory, and her parents pushed her to succeed in everything she did. The girl liked to read and study; it gave her an excuse to avoid Tersuo's exhausting 'hero training regime.' That's what he called what could otherwise be described as torture for a middle schooler. Her father tried to turn Miss Hayashi into the perfect example of a human being. He ran her until she collapsed. Pushed her grow her strength until Eir couldn't hold her own arms up anymore. It was cruel, inhumane and nobody did a damn thing to stop Tersuo. Her mother quietly disapproved of the practice. Shoko would sometimes fake that Eir was sick and allow her to stay home with her. She sneaked candy into Eir's perfectly regimented diet. The woman never once tried to stop things, though. Eir didn't know why; she assumed Shoko was just as afraid of Tersuo as Eir was. Eventually, the quiet girl was old enough to send to one of Japan's hero academies. Tersuo tried to enroll her into top schools like U.A High, but Miss Hayashi cleverly sabotaged her own exams. She figured she was far from up to snuff anyway, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Tersuo eventually caught on to her scheme. He punished her for her actions, and then shipped her off to Kosei Academy. Eir had to perform to avoid her father's wrath. She did excellently on the written exam and her performance in the physical exam was satisfactory.

Quirk: Bone Carapace

Eir's quirk turns her into a human tank. On command, the girl can create bone-like armor. Forming it takes only a split second, and she can hold it there for upwards of an hour before she has to break the carapace and recharge. Hayashi's armor is quite heavy, especially for someone of her size; wearing it slows her down considerably. Eir can't move at all while wearing the full suit, leaving her vulnerable to any area of effect attacks unless she wants to anchor herself to one spot. Once Eir has shed a part of her shell, she can't reform it on that same spot for roughly ten seconds. Her carapace, while extremely durable, can still be cracked and destroyed. Eir isn't able to reform a broken shell for hours.

Hayashi's special move is Knuckle Duster Buster. She concentrates her carapace around her fists, forming two bone-like knuckle dusters. Eir's otherwise underwhelming punches become a dangerous threat to anyone that gets too close to her. It's her only true offensive move, but Hayashi can use it to great effect against any opponent that underestimates the power behind her tiny fists.

Talents and Skills:

• Talented artist, particularly at sketching/drawing
• Skilled at climbing
• Excellent memory and keen observer

@Superboy Accepted! Surprised that Eir was actually a little girl. You can post in the character tab.

Since I'm still expecting a few more characters, I'll start the IC with something slow just to allow you guys to start posting or interacting if you choose to.

@Araby264 Ah, don't let me getting all long winded make you feel weird. ^^

@Superboy
nah, that's not it. I just haven't had a decent amount of time to write in about a year, so I'm still getting back into the swing of things. seeing your post just kinda made me realize how much I've... for lack of a better word, 'forgotten' about how to write well.
