🅲🆁🅰🆂🅷 🅲🅾🆄🆁🆂🅴!

It all began somewhere in China. News of a newborn that gave off a luminescent glow had spread. Ever since then, strange abilities were discovered in various places all across the globe. Time eventually passed without the cause being identified.

The world had become a superhuman society, and about majority of its population possessed some kind of special trait. In such a world swirling with chaos, the profession that everyone once dreamed about and admired, came into the limelight. An age of heroism is upon you, and whether you like it or not, you're going to be part of it.

You might be wondering why you're being forced into all of this, right? Well, its all thanks to Tumble, the rookie sensation who's been plowing her way through the rankings within the superhero community.



Welcome to the world of Crash Course! A My Hero Academia RP set several decades from the original series. You may have noticed, but things are a little different here. We've heard stories of prestigious institutions that have made way for the best and the brightest to prosper and shine. That good and all, but what about everyone else? The less privileged, unfortunate, and outcasts? Normally, your guess would be as good as mine, but not this time.

You will be taking the role of an outsider of some sort. Someone who, for one reason or another, never met the standards society had set form them. In the end, you made the wrong choices and were led down the wrong path. Luckily for you, you've been given the opportunity to take few steps back and give things another shot.

Tumble, has invited/forced you, along with several others, to join her at her agency. Although not talked about by most, Tumble's past was far from being ideal. It took the efforts of a single person to make her what she is today. Think of this as her way of giving back to the community.

During the your time under her guidance, not only will your quirks develop, but also your virtues as a person and a member of society. Hopefully, you'll survive and make it through this crash course into the world of heroics.

History

🅸🅽 🆃🅷🅴 🅱🅴🅶🅸🅽🅽🅸🅽🅶

Superpowers were first discovered in China over a hundred years ago. They rapidly sprouted all across the world from then on, but no one could say why or how these superpowers came about. There were records dating back nearly two centuries of people with superpowers though which could mean they existed for far longer.

The regular person feared those with these strange abilities. For much of the first few decades, quirk-users 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 they 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. Those with quirks collaborated with the quirkless, working side by side to protect civilization and prove that they weren't all power-hungry monsters. There are a handful of people that have made a stand for the rights of quirk-users and influenced the world to follow in their ideals, opening the door to a brighter future for both quirk-users and the quirkless.

Inui Takumi, a world-renown hero known by the name of Rider, settled down in Japan and established a school for heroes. The school was named Yuei Academy and situated within the city of Musutafa. It quickly became the number one school for heroics and birthed many successful heroes, including the symbol of peace and justice, All Might.

Originating from the countryside of Japan, a young man that went by the name of Izuku Midoriya was sought out by Rider himself. He heard news of a young boy and his uncontrollable power. With enough convincing, Rider brought Toshinori back to Musutafa, and there, he raised and trained him to use his power. Even before he obtained this power, Toshinori had always admired the heroes of today, dearly wishing that one day, a poor farm boy like him could help people and serve justice. Rider had given him that opportunity when no one else had, and after graduating, Toshinori claimed the name of All Might.

He was unmatched in skill and heart. All Might became the hero of Musutafa and Japan. Words of his heroic deeds spread through the media across the world and as long as All Might remained, the world had nothing to hear.

The vile name Shigaraki struck fear into the people of Japan. Two years ahead of All Might's time, he graduated from the same great school with exceptional grades, but Shigaraki was a mystery to even the principal. Like All Might, Rider specially invited him to Japan on a full ride for his exceptional skill, rescuing him from a similar lifestyle as All Might. But Shigaraki lived quietly and minded his own things. He graduated and applied for a hero license, but his name never showed up in the hero registry.

Shortly after All Might's revealing to the public, Shigaraki took to the streets, slowly building a reputation in the underground world. While All Might contained the peace and raised the flag of justice, the man known as Shigaraki pulled at strings behind the scenes, gradually creating a society of villains that could rival the triads. And once he had enough power, Shigaraki paraded the streets. Just as All Might had skyrocketed through the ranks of heroes, Shigaraki stole the number one place in most wanted criminals of Japan through numerous acts of villainy.

All Might and Shigaraki faced each other time and time again. And then, on April 22, 2010, All Might died in battle at the hands of Shigaraki. The battle brought great destruction upon Japan, and while the public wept over the death of their beloved icon, criminals and villains cheered for Shigaraki's amazing actions. His body was found in a crater out in Japan's downtown area, heart impaled by a street lamp. After Nobleman's death, criminal activity had increased, and heroes these days just weren't what they used to be.

Shigaraki disappeared the night of that great battle, but his supporters still live, awaiting the day he'll lead them all into the new generation.

🆃🅷🅴 🆁🆄🅻🅴🆂

_{By choosing to make a character, we will assume that you've read and accepted all the rules below.}

Character Creation

🅲🅷🅰🆁🅰🅲🆃🅴🆁 🅲🆁🅴🅰🆃🅸🅾🅽

In terms of characters, I'll be keeping an open-mind as long as it fits the setting of the world we're going with

• Given that this RP will be based on My Hero Academia, I hope that we can replicate the tone they set for the series. Light-hearted coupled with the occasional sense of realism.
• Potentially, there's are a large amount of powers/quirks you can choose from, as long as they're within reason. Just remember that Quirks are inherited genetically and typically manifest in children by the age of four, at the latest. They're basically an extension of one's bodily functions, so make sure to not go overboard. You can read more about them here.
• Currently, quirks that I suggest you stay away from would include anything that delves into the concepts of character control, time manipulation, reality bending/warping, and absolute energy manipulation.
• An image for your character is a requirement. It helps both myself and your fellow participants when coming up with posts involving your character. The image that you use for your appearance can either be anime or in a more cartoonish style; no real-life or realistic images. Here are some examples: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6].
• In a nutshell, just make a character that fits, and you're golden.

OOC

🆃🅷🅴 🅾🅾🅲

• As sappy as it sounds, what'll fortify and make this RP a success is gonna be cooperation from everyone who'll participate in it. I'm pretty sure that you all know that the only way this is going to work is through collaboration and having some sort of mutual respect towards each other. Any disputes between players should be taken to PMs. Hopefully, we don't see any form antagonistic behavior towards other players in the OOC. As long as we all keep our cool, then we're all good.
• You can PM me your characters if you want them to be reviewed without the judging gaze of the other players, but they'll only be formally accept character sheets when they're posted in the OOC to give others a chance to give their input about them.
• You can also PM me any questions you have, ask them in the OOC, or join me on Discord. Just PM me for an invite to the RP's server.
• Also, Feel free to engage in general chatter in the OOC. It helps to establish that sense of community.
• Don't reserve any posts in the OOC or Character Tab for a WIP character.
• Lastly, make sure you keep us updated when it comes to activity. If you're leaving for more than a few days or going to be inactive, it would be nice if you notified us. Just so the RP doesn't stagnate.

IC

🆃🅷🅴 🅸🅲

• It goes without saying, but to be sure, remember to avoid any god-modding, metag-aming, power-gaming, et cetera.
• In regards to post length, just remember that quality is valued more than quantity. No need to write a lot, just make sure that what you write should advance the plot and not stagnate the RP. This is a Casual RP, so one-liners don't really have a place here at all.
• For post frequency, one post per week in enough. If you haven't posted in a week, and given no prior explanation as to why, your character will probably be turned into an NPC to be used by the GMs or players freely.
• Posting more frequently isn't frowned upon; just make sure to wait and only post after at least one or two other players have posted. This is just to give room for slower posters to catch up. For extended interactions, head over to PMs or the Discord Server and consider making a collaborative post.
• Not expecting it, but regarding romance in this RP, just keep it PG.
• If you have any story ideas, plot ideas or NPC ideas, feel free to tell me or discuss it in the OOC. This RP should be a collaborative effort and your contributions to the overall plot are much appreciated.

A Magical Guild RP - Fairy Tail and Rave Inspired!

Uh, scrapped?

Aether Online - A VMMORPG RP inspired by Log Horizon, SAO, and Overlord

@Apokalipse Everything checks out, so let’s go to Mouette’s Skills.
For [Flaking Strikes], do you want bonus damage be based on percentage or a fixed amount? Just depends on when you want the in-game spike to occur. With [Poisining], sorry but this woul require a reagent to perform. Poisoning is OP in my book. If you don’t to require a reagent, you can make this into an active spell that grants Mouette a self-buff that allows him to poison targets with his attacks for a certain duration or set number of attacks. I suppose [Pickpocketing] is fine.

@Jedly@Savo@Lord Zee Pending review since your sheets are still a works in progress.

@PyroDash888 That’s a might nice image that you used.

Anyway, [Trapping] is fine. For Poison Arrow, choose between the DOT and CC for now. Just improve it once it gets more levels. Four times the damage is too high for [Ambush Stance]; you can start with two times the damage. I know its kind of low, but I’m assuming the first attack could be stacked with an active skill, elemental advantage, and possibly a critical blow. We can talk about increasing the multiplier and how it scales ones she gets more levels into it. Also, add some quivers to you inventory. The sample is good, no problems seen.

@vietmyke As for Callum, everything seems fine. Now let’s talk about his skills. [Endurance] is fine, but given how buffs it provides, each will be relatively lower as compared to skills that would solely focus on a single aspect; from what I see, it improves resistance to staggering, defense in general, and defense against physical attacks. I suggest maybe just phrase it as a flat damage reduction skill with resistane to staggering. If you want to make it specific to physical attacks, then go for it. I’ll give you the numbers later. [Revitalizing Light] is kind of too powerful since it scales so well. I’ll lower the percentage and just scale it better when he gets levels into it. Honestly, I kind of prefer this character, but Allune does provide more utility and variety to the player pool.

Accepted Characters.

• Tis (@Rune_Alchemist)
• Rael (@Gowi)
• Allune (@vietmyke)
• Mørphine (@McHaggis)
• Tenguu (@Thecrash20)

My brain is malfunctioning and farting all around. I’ll get back to you guys (@Assallya@cloudystar@NarcissisticPotato@demonspade64) in a while.

Aether Online - A VMMORPG RP inspired by Log Horizon, SAO, and Overlord

@McHaggis Heaslut, lol.

Anyway, I enjoyed the sample you had written up. As for his spells, Fade Out, Renewing Ligh,t and Prayer of Defence are fine. I’ll give you an update on the specific numbers of the spells soon. As for your HP/MP, its 110/100.

@Gowi Everything looks good from my end!

@Savo Either. If you have a progression path in mind, let's talk about it in a PM. If you don't mind leaving it up to me and fancy some randomness, I could do that too.

@Thecrash20 Sample's good. As for the spells, I'd prefer if [Life Siphon] would heal you per attack you deal since keeping tract of consecutive blows is kind of difficult. Would this passive work for physical attacks or spells?

[Bone Blade] and [Shadow Blast] are fine. Can't really figure out the type of character you're trying to go with. Looks very hybrid given his skill pool.

---

WILL BE GONE FOR A FEW HOURS, BUT I'LL TRY TO WHIP UP AN OOC THREAD WHEN I GET BACK. AFTER A FEW MORE APPLICANTS, WE CAN GET THIS THING STARTED. WILL FINALIZE THE NUMBERS ON YOUR CHARACTERS AS SOON AS I CAN. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER CONCERNS, FEEL FREE TO SPEAK UP. THANKS GUYS!

Aether Online - A VMMORPG RP inspired by Log Horizon, SAO, and Overlord

@Gowi Actually you could, as long as you're fine sacrificing survivability for threat gain.

@NarcissisticPotato Maybe when we're a little into the RP and have a dedicated player pool?

@Savo Honestly, I enjoyed reading the sample that you wrote up. Can't wait for the actual RP to start and see what else you guys come up with.

Aether Online - A VMMORPG RP inspired by Log Horizon, SAO, and Overlord

@Gowi Uhm, I'm pretty sure I also said to remove this part "increases the user's threat gain." for [Evasion]. Sorry, man.

Aether Online - A VMMORPG RP inspired by Log Horizon, SAO, and Overlord

@Rune_Alchemist Just remove the levels beside the skills and you're golden.

@Gowi Just change the word dexterity in evasion since it kind of entails more than just evading. Maybe ability to dodge instead?

Aether Online - A VMMORPG RP inspired by Log Horizon, SAO, and Overlord

@Gowi
Regarding the Skill [Advance], I know that this is a threat-generating ability, but you included an increase in movement speed. As basic skills, I’d like to avoid them doing more than a single action if possible. So yeah, I’d prefer this be kept as just a passive threat generating skill. [Endurance] is fine. For [Evasion] is this an active or passive skill? And with how critical hits work in the RP as mentione in the OP, avoiding them in this manner is kind of expected from everyone. So maybe remove that bit from the description? Threat generation and the decrease in threat from your allies seem abit out of place here. For me, its either a passive Evasion skill or an active one that would probably last for a short amount of time; like 1 post.

Don’t worry though; these abilities will improve over time and scale with your progression. Eventually, they can get the other effects that you want.

Aside from that, everything is good. After the needed edits, you’re officially accepted! (1)

HP is 170 and MP is 60.

@Rune_Alchemist [Agility] is fine but remove the bit about running speed. [Counter] is fine and easy to level up since it’ll increase the chances of actually countering. No problems with [War Cry], just remove these “Enemies up to ten levels below, may find themselves unable to act and perhaps even deciding that the battle isn't worth it. Leveled by successful uses. Less effective on PCs, and more effective on NPCs.” You don’t need to say that the skill can be leveled up with repeated use since all skills are gonna be like that.

After the needed edits, you’re officially accepted too! (2)

HP is 170 and MP is 60.

@vietmyke [Spellcraft] seems to be doing a bit too much. I’m fine with MP regen and spell strength, but could you remove the ability to craft magical items and magic resistance. That’s somewhat too complex for a novice. Also, no need to state that its increased by using magical spells or crafting items.

For [Earth Shield], just edit out these: “A Low level defense spell”, and “Strength of barrier is determined by spell level and spellcraft level. Leveled by successful uses.” Then just include strength along with size and width. Same comments with [Stalagmite], just remove “A Low level attack spell.” And “overall damage is determined by spell level and spellcraft level. Leveled by successful uses.” Also, no armor piercing damage.

Maybe instead labelling each as an earth spell, you could classify it this way if you plan on getting other elements.

Earth Spells

• [Earth Shield]
• [Stalagmite]

Anyway, HP would be 110 and MP would be 100. When equipping rods, scepters, staves and the like, you’re able to release projectiles of magic. Each attack would use up 5 MP. I’ll get back to you on the numbers on MP regen and the cost per spell. (3)

Also, could you guys removed the levels that you put beside the skills/spells. Thanks a plenty! I'm a bit obsessive-compulsive.

Aether Online - A VMMORPG RP inspired by Log Horizon, SAO, and Overlord

@Legion02 I'd allow for some ranged magical attack, but that would probably cost MP. You'd need a staff or a wand. The amount though would be miniscule since its just somewhat like a basic attack.+

@Gowi So far, so good. Haven't encountered any real issue. The skills are alright.

@Rune_Alchemist@Savo@vietmyke@Apokalipse In a bit of a rush, so I just scanned through your CS. No problems so far, but I'll gie a more detailed review on it later.

@vietmyke Uhm, you're a low-leveled newbie. Things are definitely going to be limited.

@Thecrash20 Upgrading gear wouldn't be a problem, but there would be a limit to how much they can improve. Jumping from Common to Uncommon then to Rare would be quite unlikely.
