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 backround or upbringing, you’ll always have a place here. Welcome to Kosei Academy! This year will certainly be an interesting one. Please, enjoy it to its fullest. [color=ed1c24][b][u]Quirks:[/u][/b][/color] [center][IMG]http://i65.tinypic.com/28c34i1.jpg[/IMG][/center] A quirk is a special, superhuman ability an individual can possess. Quirks are generally unique to their user, and are classified in multiple categories. Quirks are inherited genetically, and typically manifest in children by the age of four. A child can manifest either one of his parents' Quirks or a composite of the two. There are several laws and procedures to ensure the conscientious use of Quirks. During elementary school, children receive Quirk counselings, in order to learn how to use their powers responsibly. Public display of Quirks are against the law, except in cases of self defence, such as when one is under attack or preventing someone else from being attacked. [i][color=ed1c24]Emitter Class:[/color] These quirk class grant the ability to either release certain substances, or alter materials around them in certain ways. While most emitter-type Quirk users generally have a handle on their own "emissions", it's also possible for users to hurt themselves from coming into too much contact with their quirk.[/i] [i][color=ed1c24]Transformer Class: [/color]User of this type of quirk are able to take on a temporary alteration of some kind. Transformation quirks allow the user to temporarily "transform" their body in a variety of manners, sometimes enhancing existing features or perhaps adding new features to the body altogether.[/i] [i][color=ed1c24]Mutant Class: [/color]These quirks can have a wide variety of features and abilities depending on the individual, but the common similarity seems to be that these quirks are a part of the user's physicality. As a result, these Quirks are always active, but generally allow the user the greatest degree of control.[/i] [hider= Credit, Original management, etc.] Originally this was an RP run by [@Rob], who dropped out and went AWOL before the IC stuff could happen. All of the above was written by him, however note that any similarities within the IC is purely coincidental. [/hider] [hider=Rules/Guidelines !FUCKING READ THIS!] There are standards I expect, even in a casual roleplay. This is one of the few things I will be completely draconian about; don't follow these, and you might not be long for the RP: One: Basic SPaG. If my spellcheck can trip anything, then yours should too. Please use spellcheck, even if it's just a quick copy-paste into a word document. I also expect punctuation and grammar to be generally correct. If you forget to close a ' " ', that's perfectly fine, if you don't punctuate whole paragraphs, we're gonna have issues. Grammar too. Two: Clear understanding. If your message is garbled, or it's difficult to interpret, I will ask (as nicely as possible I might add,) for it to perhaps be revised so that it can be properly read by others. This is a personal pet peeve, I must say, so please don't do it. Three: For the love of god; DON'T GODMOD. I know I should have written up some rules, but all of the basics you see everywhere apply here. This is the most important. If you need permission to mess with someone's character, ask them either in OC or in PM. If they're fine with it, add a tag like this: . If someone tells me they didn't give permission... These are the ones that I don't judge so harshly, but make life easier: One: Please tag anyone you want to talk to. It makes everything less painful and means that people always know if they're being referred too. Note that I will strive to tag you all in important posts, if I forget one or two of you, feel free to completely roast me for it :P. Two: If you don't understand, ASK ME OR A CO-GM. I know I don't actually have a Co yet, I want to get a feel for how you guys tick, but when I do get one, ask them anything you don't understand. The last thing we need is massive continuity fuckups and complete misinformation spreading because you didn't get something. [/hider]
