“This is a story about heroes. Those who aspire to be heroes, then, are useless.”


Academy city: The place where science became indistinguishable from the realm of fantastic. The land which had reduced the fantastical into mundane, everyday life, where the technological level has reached 30 years beyond what the rest of the world is capable of.

A region west of Tokyo that functions as its own microstate. As the name might suggest, Academy city houses many institutes of learning, from kindergarten to university level, the majority of the people living there being students and their instructors. One could compare academy city, then, to a “school of 2.3 million students”, in addition to researchers, teachers, and other such academics.



Through the application of the Power Curriculum Program, students of Academy City are able to transcend their mortal selves and enter into the realm of manga protagonists or superhero, though 60% of these students are powerless nobodies incapable of bending a single spoon; Useless level 0s. But there are those who train and hone their personal reality to such a degree that it imposed as a rule on the world itself; level 5s. These students coexist and train themselves to improve academically, athletically, and to improve their Esper level.

… But beyond the boundaries of the scientific lies the realm of the “unscientific”. The belief that in a power higher than the mortal world itself, outside of what science is able to observe.

Miracles.

Divine Blessings.



Or, more aptly, Magic, and the magicians or sorcerers who are capable of using them. “To give those without power, power”. The “unobservable” given shape through archaic and occult methods. Magic is a complex system of arts, disciplines, and traditions that are firmly grounded in laws and knowledge that are wholly unknown and beyond the grasp of human sciences, which sought to manipulate and distort certain aspects of reality.

In the moonlit world, there are those who wish to see the end of science and embrace faith once more, though this seems to be a minority in the grander scale of things. However, vocal minorities have the power to mobilize the masses. The empty vessel makes the loudest sound. Most individuals understand that such a conflict would bring about the near extinction of man, and thusly, attempt their best to avoid such rash actions through diplomatic ties and espionage.

There are some, however, whose grudge surpasses this will of humanity.

Fragmented politically, various factions within Academy City have begun moving to take power for themselves. Within the vacuum, various powerful people, level-wise or politically, have begun to take prominence, even to the extent that organizations like Anti-Skill and Judgement are unable to quell flash mobs of students battling other students.

However, this does not mean that the city has fallen to lawlessness. Even still, the students of Academy City are mostly unaffected by these changes, going to school with little knowledge of the backdrop of Academy City’s Dark Side. Anti-Skill and Judgement are doing their best to gain the upper hand in this situation and enforce the status quo to dissenters. Though many claim that the rise of these factions is dubious in nature, others welcome the change to ensure security in the city.

More pressing than either of these is the issue of those outside the city. With the loosening of restraints, various groups from the superpowers of the world wish to obtain the secrets of academy city and will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. This is to speak nothing of the Mage Associations of the world, whom of which are watching those of the science side destroy themselves with a fervent glee.

@Phonic Some questions:

Do you have a discord for the RP? I think I remember seeing a link somewhere but I could be wrong.

Secondly, would you prefer us to post our CSes in the OOC or PM you? I noticed people are already posting their CSes in the CS tab, but those are probably approved by PM, yeah?

Hirasawa Kaede



Profile

Nicknames: Koe-chan
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Birthday: 25/05
Height: 156 Centimeters
Weight: 45 Kilograms
Nationality: Japanese


Personality & Background

Personality: A very quiet girl that rarely talks, she tends to keep at her own but means no ill harm towards anyone. Her self centered attitude does result in her belief of her being able to do anything alone like she had done all her life. It does result in awkward situations where Kaede tries to grab things on way to high shelves and ultimately fail.

Kaede does always try to face anyone cheerfully and enjoys to see others smile in return. Kaede sees herself as less valued then anyone else and puts her own life on the line if it means saving someone else.

From her work she has learned to be social quite a bit and how to hold a conversation, it also motivated her to wear awkward costumes so she doesn't easily get embarrassed anymore but, some specific things that she does find awkward do get her.

Her ability had lead to quite a change in her behavior in the past, she isn't afraid to talk about it but does rather not use her powers without a good reason. When someone asks her to she doesn't find it as much as a problem.

Biography:
At the time when she was still practicing her ability a lot she had a reality check for a bit of her life. She used her ability so much that she couldn't believe for her own voice to have really existed in the first place. It was just another copy of someone else voice she thought. Why would she need a voice anyway if her vocals could produce any sounds known to this world. That is why she doesn't talk much longer with the voice she had always been using. She tends to stay quiet or softly use a substitute for her own voice from a famous voice actor.

Her outstanding marks on school had given her a bright future in the to come life yet, her parents chose her school for her. off course it made her quite angry that she couldn't just simply chose the school she wanted to attend to but eventually it came down to that her parents would be the ones paying it. The only choice she had was to stay at home or sleep in the dorms, her choice was crystal clear to keep at home and walk to school everyday. She didn't want to be completely isolated from the rest of the world. Eventually she did learn to adapt to the school but never returned to the good terms she had with her parents like she had before. She chose not to focus on them too much any more untill she passed this school.


School & Skills

School: Nagatenjouki Academy
Grade: Second Grade
Skills:
Singing - Being so busy with ones own voice she had practiced a lot to perfect her use and way of her own voice.
Drawing - Very proficient in copying from real life and likes to draw her own characters and stuff as well, her basic understanding of human anatomy.
Learning - Has had excellent grades up till now, has the top 5 grades of school in math and psychics.
Seducement/trickery - Uses her voice or other means in order to get what she wants.
Serving - Kaede has learned how to help and serve costumers the correct way from her work. She does do requests with no bad intentions in mind.
Faction(s): N/A


Ability

Ability name: Soundboard
Level: 3
Premise: Voice Manipulation
Description: Kaede her ESP ability is through her voice as her energy is bounded to her vocal cords. She is able to change her voice as quick as a heartbeat to whatever her mind can think off. If she was to change it to a famous singer her voice would be sound perfect but when she signs she still has to get the vocals and text right. She is not only bound to voices, she can also emit sounds and frequencies. The sounds will be affected by her practice of the sound, it is difficult to replicate something exactly but a gunshot would be pretty close to an actual gunshot.

Her voice manipulation allows to: change their own voice to any sound/voice from their own memory, change the volume of their sounds, change the frequency of their sounds, project their sounds to come from different directions.

Changing her volume can be either higher or lower. She can talk really softly or ear shattering loud. That is why she keeps a pair of earprotection near.

The tones can be changed as well so that her voice can sound really deep or really high.

Frequency of the sound can go to extreme hertz. It can cause shockwaves and annoy basically any animal on the spectrum that can hear above 20k hertz.

Her voice can be projected as well in which case she would need surfaces nearby to make it easier. The sound will come from any direction she wants without her moving.

Name: Hanako Sterner

Nicknames: “The Hot Chocolate Queen of Judgement”, “Protagonist-chan”

Gender: Female

Age: 13

Birthday: (14/02)

Height: 170.7 cm

Weight: 56.699 kg

Nationality: ½ Caucasian (American), ½ Japanese

Appearance: (see top hider)

Personality: A person with energy to spare when she gets worked up, excited even, over various things, though whom can be relaxed and even lazy in her personal time. She is the sort who would drag off a good friend on a “grand adventure” over buying a new cookbook or seeing some cute new swimsuits in a store window. Someone who would get bored and occasionally drop in on friends unexpectedly or out of the blue, even climbing fire escapes and scaling walls without blinking an eye at the craziness of it. Further, she is somewhat clueless of the true potency of her cooking skills, save that this originates from a sense of humility she maintains about this area of her skills.

This being said, she absolutely adores her favorite local place to get ice cream pizzas, set into a delicious chocolate chip or sugar cookie crust. The one time it was closed close to her birthday two years ago, she cried due to how emotionally attached she’d become to the place. She one day wants to get their recipes even, to make her own one day.

Her tenacity is such that she will pursue a “target” of her interest all over the place, should she remain interested or feel it is worth doing. Chunni tendencies are also a given for her at times. Yet whilst in all of this she comes off as a “pretty annoying but energetic person”, her intelligence is actually not bad. Actually, the opposite of what some people joke about her. Her grades are stellar, her mind like a whizzing machine when it comes to learning and acting and processing information overall. In fact, she can come up with plots and strategies and such, even go through with deceptions with shocking ease.

Biography: Born the daughter of Akari Takahashi and Jason Sterner, scientists who moved to Academy City, worked in the same lab, and eventually fell in love and married, Hanako was always around an educational and vividly bright environment. Her parents were always excited about their scientific passions, but were not always the best socially despite their skills. Hanako turned out similar in that she was awkward at times yet incredibly smart, though from “as young as possible” her parents had her get involved with the Power Curriculum Program. For years she went through school, always ahead of most peers but not wanting to “skip grades” for the sake of enjoying being around people her age.

She eventually joined Judgement when she could, fascinated by the idea of getting involved with a group of students to keep the city safer. In fact, upon joining she became one of the more “notable” faces in Judgement due to her hot chocolate and her at times unorthodox nature of parkour-ing about to get to suspects or pursue things. This being said, whilst many think her dumb and annoying, many others among Judgement members have become fond of “our little smart goofball” in a sense as if she was their beloved younger sister. Regardless of the various opinions about her, some she is aware of but hasn’t spoken about, Hanako has continued to pursue her desires and dream towards the horizon, not ceasing even in the face of adversity.

Question is, where will she ultimately end up in this city full of dark sides and threats unseen to the general public?

School: Tokiwadai Middle School

Grade: 7th Grade

Skills:

Cooking – Skilled in matters of cookery, her abilities are only surpassed by the Great Demon Lord (her mom)! Truthfully, it is a hobby of hers that turned into some pretty high-tier skills over the years. She’s never put them to the test or fully realized how good she is at this, but unbeknownst to her the “gourmet hot chocolate” she can make is a sensation among many Judgement members. Some who have heard rumors of it have even traveled to taste it, somewhat to her welcome but sincere confusion.

Swimming – Her Middle School’s Star Swimmer on the Swim Team, or at least one of the top two, she can swim fast and skillfully when in the water. From this she has also built a very notable breath-holding capacity, in part from....stupid dares to hold her breath at the bottom of the pool for a long time. With the latter thing once almost causing her to drown when someone jumped into the pool and landed on her head as she was coming up to finally get air.

Parkour – She has spent many an evening moving about the city, doing her work as a member of Judgement. Albeit, in a manner that has led to her being rather lean yet very physically active. She boasts a high physical stamina for someone her age, and a level of robust-ness from...accidents she’s had over the years.

Faction(s): Judgement

ESPer:

Ability name: Breakdown Bomber (due to its conversion effects and resulting applications)

Level: 3

Premise: The fact that matter and energy are two sides of the same coin, essentially one and the same, with matter being able to be converted into energy.

Description:

When making physical contact with other things/objects, the user uses this power to destabilize the molecular structure of them, essentially alter the state of the matter to be "riding the line between matter and energy". This is basically priming the matter composing affected things to be transformed into and unleashed as energy in a heartbeat. This in effect generates an explosion, and results in the targeted thing's complete destruction due to it having been now fully converted into energy. Affected things do not visibly seem different or strange, even with physical contact, retaining enough of matter's solid state to not stand out oddly. This being said, these affected things essentially sit about as bombs, and scientific equipment used to detect energy can get strange readings from these affected things.

Then, at the user's will alone the affected things can be detonated manually, or alternately at the time of creation can be set on a "timer" after which the transformation occurs. Likewise the manner of detonation can vary as well.

This user at times has taken to closing their fingers in, and press their thumb down as if pressing the button of a small detonator in their hand in order to "detonate" affected objects. This has led to the rumor and general belief among peers of hers that this is required to make her power work. Of course simply willing to detonate affected things works equally as well and faster, and other actions could be used as an imagined catalyst for "detonation" to boot. Multiple objects can be affected at the same time, even, and detonated at different times at the user's will. The user can also blindly choose to "detonate" everything they've made into a bomb (which is dangerous).

This being said, mentally keeping track of the location of everything they've affected becomes...harder and harder the more things they use this power on. Simply put, affecting a few objects that are easily remembered by the user would be better than priming a lot of objects (unless one wants to mass detonate at once).

Hirasawa, Adrian


Nicknames: N/A
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Birthday: (08/09)
Height: inconsistent
Weight: inconsistent
Nationality: Japanese



Appearance: Due to the nature of his powers the actual appearance he takes is never consistent for longer than a few days, as his body can be altered at whim and given animal/insect features or shrink/grow. Everything from the tip of his hair to the bottom of his feet is within his capability to alter. The only consistency is his eyes, sporting a harmonious rainbow of colors that shift out of his control. Decorations and adornments of any kind often hang from his strange choice of head attire.

Personality: Often lax and unconcerned where his own well being is concerned but overprotective of his little sister, Adrian is about as relaxed the rest of the time as a person could really be. Stressful situations do nothing to hinder his genuine good cheer and optimism but does have a tendency to come off as uncaring or cold despite his disposition, often making light of tragedy with an ill-timed joke or comment.

Has a bad habit of becoming an insect-humanoid and haunting his own home. Specifically his sister and her friends, especially the male friends.

Biography: With his powers having blossomed at a young age, Adrians skill with his transformations has been rapidly growing in ease and speed over the years. At the age of 15 he could actively control transformations both minor and major with barely any concentration at all, often performing small mutations without meaning to. It was due to these rapid mutations that he developed a habit of merely roleplaying as whatever he had subconsciously given himself parts of. Most of the time it was insect wings or a chitenous exoskeleton commonly found on insects, sometimes a rams horns or even just a long tail. Tailoring his clothes to his rapid transformations was often a chore but it was a skill he learned due to necessity.

Adrians powers aside, his habits in school was labelled a distraction and the powers only made it worse as children referred to him as something of a class clown. Forced into isolation to continue his studies it was clear the boy possessed a strong mind and excelled in structured, but lonely, environments. Teachers were worried about it making Adrian a loner or pick up poor communication skills with other children but those fears were short-lived. Outside of a classroom he was a total social butterfly.

Sometimes a literal butterfly.

School: Center of Biology
Grade: 2nd year student
Skills:
  • Exceptional Athlete
  • Cooks for himself and his little sister when parents are out of town. Has taken multiple cooking classes during highschool. Excels at breakfast foods.
  • Seamstress - The nature of his powers made it a necessity. Adrians wardrobe has been manipulated or resewn depending on what 'form' he chooses to take or animal/insect parts to grow. Does all the modifications himself and has dabbled in making his own clothes.

Faction(s): None

(ESPer:
Ability name: R.B.A - Rapid Body Alteration
Level: 4
Premise: Creatures can adapt over the course of hundreds of years and subsequent alterations or unexpected mutations to their genetic code that can hinder or help the species adapt to their surroundings.
Description: Kai is capable of altering his physical form and taking on aspects of different animals, insects, birds, or aquatic life at will. Some alterations take longer than others with multiple alterations making his body extremely weak. Overusage reverts his alterations back to a regular human form but is extremely painful as the body forcibly detaches grown limbs/features at a microscipic scale.
This process was described bluntly as "the single most painful experience you can have".

Body mutations or alterations are rarely as profound as a natural bred animals would be.
Example would be giving himself a spiders ability to spin webs. Even with proper alteration the string would be castly inferior to a real spiders.
Example 2 would be giving himself gills. Unlike the previous, the process would be quick and efficient. The nature of the alteration being relatively uncomplicated in comparison to creating poison sacks or other such specially bred defensive mechanisms.
