The Good Guys is a story based on My Hero Academia, but will take elements from the My Hero Academia spin off, Vigilantes, and a series I've binged and started reading, The Boys. Those who'll be participating in this will play teenagers on the older side, who aspire to become professional heroes, but lack the means and resources to pursue such a dream. I don't mind your reason, it just has to make sense; be a delinquent, a vigilante, or whatever. They also have to be exceptional, that's why they were chosen. They will be under the guidance of a named individual who has just enough influence to convince the government to allow her to start a program that targets the underprivileged but talented.
What'll differentiate this from other stories based on the same source materials, to start off, would be the focus on "being a hero", "building and molding one's reputation", along with the repercussions of carelessness and collateral damage. Aside from that, we'll have the standard training, rivalries, villains, and whatnot.
This RP will contain SPOILERS. I won't mention which ones are though, just wanted those who aren't updated with the manga to know.

All individuals are not created equal. Some beings were born with gifts that others don't possess. These gifts, are referred to as quirks. The first incident, the first occurrence of quirks, was in China. An extraordinary infant was born with a unique power and came to be known as the Luminescent Baby. Then, as time passed, similar phenomena had happened all over the world, and soon, the majority of the population had obtained superhuman powers.
We've became a Superhuman society. Our streets became scenes from comic books as cities were plagued with chaos and confusion as a new profession began to dominate the world, Heroes. With the rise of superpowers came an explosive global increase in criminal activity. While governments tried to figure out how to reform laws with quirks in mind, courageous people began performing acts of heroism to keep our cities safe. Protecting us against villains who abuse their powers for evil. With overwhelming public support, heroes found an official place as peacekeepers overseen by the government.
The best, the most popular, the ones with all the t-shirts, and those on all the posters, were paid the most, and get all the fame and glory. Aside from their abilities and contributions to society, a Hero's career also depended on their ability to stay relevant, hence it is rather common for some to become glory-hounds, and egotistical. In a way, they became the new celebrities. And everyone wanted to be one. This social norm that the world had adapted made the hero career more accessible for exceptional students with equally exceptional quirks. Prestigious schools opened their doors to the youth of the world, aiming to train and mold the budding heroes of tomorrow.
