It all began in China, in Qingqing City.
There was news that a baby that gave off light was born. Ever since then, superpowers were discovered in various places and time passed without the cause being identified.
Before we knew it, the supernatural became normal, and dreams became reality. The world has become a superhuman society, and about 80% of the world's population now has 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, was the profession of heroes.


Congratulations future hero! You have been chosen as one of the elite few to join the esteemed Hero Track at UA! Your outstanding drive and talent has gotten you this far, but now the real work starts. You will be pushed, tested to your breaking point in the most strenuous ways to make you the best hero you can be! So get ready, because your next adventure is about to begin!

So yeah, I totally want to do a My Hero Academia roleplay even though I'm not very experienced in running a roleplay solely by myself. That being said I will take any and all help in getting this going and keeping it going. Any and all advice is welcome! I don't really have much of a plot aside from students trying to become heroes. I really just wanted to play a younger newer hero in training because the character growth is a beautiful thing to me plus I love the plot idea as cliche as that is.

So it's pretty simple but I'm hoping to get some interest. I have a rough outline for a characyer sheet which I'll put below and it can be tweaked as need be. I also have no problem adding more depth and stuff the the very basic plot line I have. We have some wiggle room here. So I'm looking for about five-ish people to join me in this hopefully.



So I guess that's it, here's hoping for some interest in this!

I'm interested, but to be honest the lack of a plot worries me. I'll help out with planning something if you need it but I'd like to see this RP be more than a rehash of the manga/anime with a different Class 1A.

@King Cosmos I'd like to see it become more than that as well, I had a vague idea about a super villain coming along with the power to neutralize Quirks entirely. Sort of like Aman or Anan or whatever his name was from Legend of Korra? Basically his big thing was permanently removing Quirks from heroes and then leaving them be. Making them "quirkless". But I haven't fine tuned it yet.

Feel free to suggest/input anything you think of though :)

That could be interesting with the character I have in mind.

However it's very similar to... something that hasn't happened in the anime yet.

Having not read the Manga myself and only being in the beginning of s3 I was not aware a similar villain existed in this verse. I can always change this idea but I basically had the idea when I watched the Hero Killer Arc. What if instead of killing fraud heroes because of his fanatical views, he instead neutralizes their Quirks in attempt to make the world normal once more. But he doesn't just go after heroes, he goes after everyone. He can't keep the Quirks and give them to other people though like All For One can, he can just take the quirk and make it disappear for good.

Like I said I can alter this or come up with a new idea if it's too similar to something Canon, it was just the first thing I thought of that seemed interesting to me.

I'm still toying around with character and quirk ideas, I know I'm leaning towards a female character sort of like Ochaco but with a much different quirk than hers. I just am not sure what that is going to be yet.

@Nomadic It's not that similar, other than the fact that Quirks can be permanently taken away. It can still work for the RP, though I'd recommend giving some thought to how exactly his Quirk does what it does.

I wouldn't just make it a touch based thing for example, or if you do make it take a while; you probably don't want to accidentally de-power one of our characters by making it too easy for him to steal Quirks. Make it a more involved process, like he needs to force people to ingest his blood or something, or make it a hidden aspect of another Quirk like how Amon could seal bending by a specific application of chi blocking.

@King Cosmos I actually had an idea for this, taken sort of from how Eraserhead does things with his wraps he wears. This guy will have wraps around his body right? But they're attached to him, and they have the ability of draining Quirks at a slow rate to the point of permanently making them disappear from a person, making them quirkless.

So basically he swoops in and tries to get his enemy wrapped up which weakens them and then slowly takes away their quirk. That would be his combat style at least. I'm still working on names/personality for him and such so he's not done yet.

I don't like the idea of a quirk-remover myself, especially if the PCs would then inexplicably be shielded from such removal due to plot armor and shit. If they have no more conviction than trying to make humanity as a whole quirkless again, I feel like it'd make most sense to go after the younger generation rather than established badasses, especially if the targets have to be subdued for a long time.

Which is sorta horrible and gross too.

Well "plot armor" would also apply to character being killed. That's why I would imagine there wouldn't be plot armor established in this RP. All characters would be equally susceptible to becoming targets if the characters take reckless risks if they encounter the "Big Bad".

The most hard hitting points of BNHA was when Deku thought he was going to live a life without any powers in world full of super humans. Within the universe having a character that could remove your powers and make you "normal" would be horrifying for students of UA. Students who whole hearted desire above all else to become Heroes.

And making him needing to bind his targets makes it a little more terrifying in a way. Like as if a giant spider was slowly wrapping you in its web before feeding. And while "horrible" and "gross" it's a point to make him all that more Villainous in a way. Not only in action but in function.

@ERode I mean like I said it's just an idea I was throwing together, and it can be changed and tweaked as necessary. I have a backstory for him, a reason for why he wants the world to be quirkless. But we can change the dynamic to him going after students, which might fit better for the characters we are playing anyways.

Or we can scrap the idea and make a new villain, I'm seriously not picky I just want a roleplay in this Fandom and I didn't know how else to find one rather than start one myself. *shrug*

A Quirk-remover would be more interesting in terms of how the characters react to the notion of having their Quirks taken away and how the public at large deals with such a threat. Do some people agree with the notion of removing Quirks? People who weren't so lucky as to get a good Quirk might want theirs removed or there might be people who are behind the idea of villains having their Quirks taken away as punishment?

I agree it wouldn't be the most interesting fight, especially if we know there's no actual risk of our characters having their Quirk's removed (though isn't that true of most RP fights? There's exactly as much risk as we want there to be), but it could be an interesting plot point.

@Salty Spitoon that's what I was thinking, he's basically just trying to spread fear at first while at the same time trying to make the world quirkless due to his own personal trauma driving him. I need a name and image for him though, Erode's idea to make him target students instead of pros is interesting. I like the dynamic of it.

I'm pretty sure I nailed down my character's outline too, she's gonna have a 'glitch' quirk I rather like a lot.

@King CosmosThis was my thinking when I created the villain, about how the world sides with this new villain. Those quirkless or without useful Quirks could succumb to bitter emotions and cause even more chaos. There's a bunch of points with this idea to consider and I think it will be fun playing it out.

@Nomadic I wouldn't make him the first villain, nor would I make him the main threat of the whole RP, but I like the idea. Basically I'd treat him like Stain, have him stir up society and cause some introspection among our cast.

@King Cosmos oh yeah he's by no means the main villain or the key part of this roleplay. I want that to be developed by the players as we go along. I'm just spit balling ideas for more filler stuff on top of the basic idea I originally had.

If we have enough interest here I can make the OOC and we can iron things out more iver there.

Is everyone who expressed interest on board for the OOC?

@Nomadic I'm in. I'd also recommend making a discord or something because I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of discussion around this RP and it'll make things easier.
