@Archmage MC I understand what Toonforce is and I don't want it in this RP because it'd involve bending the rules of roleplay's universe to fit it in. I'm confident you won't abuse it but simply having people use these type of characters spells trouble in my books. I'm sorry.
I should have been more specific regarding power levels. Stuff like the lesser heroes or villains of the Marvel/DC Universe; Spiderman, the Suicide Squad, the mutants present in the Deadpool movie other than Deadpool. Mutants like Spyke or Toad. Hawkeye or Black Widow.
There certainly will be people stronger than that in this roleplay but they will most certainly not by the 16 year olds with no training entering high school.
@Archmage MC I like her character but not her power.
I'm going to reject the Toonforce part. I don't mind if you keep certain aspects of it but definitely not the immortality. It's preferable if you didn't use a super power thats on the level of fourth wall breaking. The sort of power level I was going for would be around the teenage mutants in X-Men. You can go stronger or weaker than that but no reality warping, immortality or city crushing skills lol.
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.
CS
Appearance: Picture (anime only) and/or description. Height: In centimeters. Weight: In kilograms. Name: First and last. Age: You should be 16 since it's the first year of high school. Exceptions will be accepted but explain in your bio. Personality: You can use personality traits and/or give a description. Short Bio: What to to put here is up to you but keep it brief. Quirk: Describe your Quirk class, what it does, it's maximum output (e.g. super grip strength up to 500kg) as well as any side effects and things of note. Our powers are still developing, so keep that in mind when deciding their power levels. Other: Whatever doesn't fit above goes here.
Rules
Acceptable grammar.
Quality over quantity.
Respect other players (but don't be afraid to kill them).
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.
... the average amount of hours worked per average Japanese worker is actually lesser than that of the United States. And although it is common for those work hours you mentioned to occur in city areas like Tokyo, those areas actually have extremely dense populations so there are still plenty of people around during work hours.
Buuuuut, like everyone said, I wouldn't worry too much about the realism factor!!
@Weird TalesI'm going to stick to a 1 power per character rule though unless there's a very good reason to do otherwise. You can have a power do multiple things, for example, possess the ability of a frog to have the ability for fast swimming, jumping, secreting poison or a long tongue but definitely not a combination of flight, super strength and laser beams from your eyes.
Gonna head to school to do some quick stuff, OOC will be up in a few hours.

What To Expect
Though I say we've all been selected, we will be starting during the enrollment examination so everyone has an opportunity to show off their Quirks. We will be using the canon setting for convenient's sake (locations and logic) but our plot will not necessarily head into the same direction. This is an AU roleplay. No knowledge of the manga is necessary as we're only using the setting.
This will more or less by a school superhero RP but there will be plenty opportunities to venture out into the world to deal with actual villains. There is no fixed genre here, feel free to go down the romance or drama route. Also, I will be implementing a group system as this is intended to be a large RP. I've had far too much experience with progress halting down because a sole person in a say a group of 10 decides to vanish into thin air. So characters will be assigned to smaller groups but overall still interact with everyone in larger events.
Once we get some interest, I'll do up an OOC and CS skeleton. Anyone have any questions??
Are we following the national storyline similar to the Anime's?
We could but I think our characters have enough personality to have their own plot. You could try to steer it in that direction with your character's actions though.
