"Now...it's your turn."

PREMISE
In the wake of Japanese hero All Might's final fight, tensions across the world rise, and wannabe heroes rush to get into their Hero School of choice. You are one such student - selected to join the prestigious New Heights Academy out of nearly half a million other applicants! You would consider yourself lucky...

If the first day of school hadn't gone so terribly for you.

See, while you definitely got in, you still had to take the academy's Entrance Exam. Instead of being the deciding factor of who gets accepted, the Headmasters use the exam to gauge each new student's aptitude and rank them compared to one another. Long story short, you placed rock bottom among the rankings, and everybody knows.

The infamous "Bottom 10".

In the face of adversity and being social outcasts, the Bottom 10 unite with one simple goal: to improve themselves, raise in the rankings, and shove it in the faces of every other student who says they should stay down!

I mean, what else could go wrong for them?

SETTING


New Heights Academy!

Despite being only a decade old, New Heights is a very prominent Hero School. It's one of the few schools to take in students on an international level, was founded by the widely known Atéline twins, and resides on its own private island just North-West of Hawaii. New Heights is known for being very selective in its application process; anyone with a Quirk can apply, but a mere 50 are hand-picked to attend. Though there are rumors that it's actually completely random who they choose to accept...

The academy has dorms for its students, and also invites their immediate family/guardians to come live on the island with them. Being far from mainland and major cities means it's less likely that the school and anyone on the island are collateral damage for villain attacks (which is definitely a bigger concern nowadays).

New Heights is also well-known for its so-called Entrance Exam, but for more controversial reasons. Since the students that are selected to attend are already selected, New Heights uses the exam to test the attendees on their grasp on their Quirk, thinking under pressure, and critical thinking. There are robots worth different points (why fix what isn't broke?) and also special ribbons that have point values on them, to help even the field for non-combative Quirks. The students are ranked, from 50 to 1, based on how they did during the exam. Rankings are public knowledge and are liable to change throughout their time in the academy - this is supposed to foster competitive spirit and healthy rivalries among the different classes, but in practice it produces a very steep social ladder, with those at the top put on a pedestal and those at the bottom barely considered worthy to be there.

But even so, New Heights is praised for its efficiency, and students keep coming year after year.

Recently the word "High-Rise" was stuck in my head for a strange reason.
I guess I have found a use for it.

It's probably gonna be used as a tmporary hero name or something like that.

@TruthHurts22 Could you elaborate on the nature of the exam? Were ribbons distributed randomly along the exam grounds, or was there a particular method to where they were placed? Were they equally as important as fighting robots, or worth more/less points? Also, what's a good ball park for the number of points the bottom ten would have gotten? It seems fairly likely multiple people ended up with 0 points, which in turn would tie them for last place.

Also, can students earn negative points, and is causing disruptions in the exam (possibly dangerous, exam-ending ones) an option without necessarily causing the student in question to be expelled?

Hmm, I'm thinking that my character might be a bit too normal and serious for this now, but I'll get her up later today and we'll see how it goes.

Is there going to be a discord for this? @TruthHurts22

@Ryik Right, probably didn't explain it so well. I was thinking the exam be similar to the one from MHA - all students get put in a secluded arena and go around doing their thing. The Ribbons would've been as important as the bots with some types worth less and some worth more than the combatants, and they would be placed semi-randomly.

I'll say the least amount of points one could get is 5, and I do want to avoid having several characters end up with 0 points, so Rank 49 should have at least 5 points, rank 48 at least 10, and so on. And it depends on just how "exam-ending" you mean.

@King Cosmos Yup! I'm planning on making a discord for this.

Also rip me I forgot to put an appearance slot in the app

@TruthHurts22 Hey there. Regarding the exam. Someone kinda already asked this question but I didnt see a definite answer so here goes. Do students get points deducted when they make mistakes? Like how it went for the provisional hero license exams.

@TreasureSniper Nope, the only way for someone to lose points is if they lose their ribbons. (there's probably a better word for them but eh)

I'll go over the characters sometime later!

@AlternateMan Looks good so far! Only thing is the Quirk name - not a big problem, but they're generally more straight-forward than fanciful. Oh, and minimum amount of points is 5 (well, technically 0, but that's up to you). Not super important to put down right now, though.

@King Cosmos Ooh, I like her. Out of curiosity, do you have a broader idea for what direction to take her Quirk in? I can see several good uses for it with the proper training - having metal-based weapons or armor to conduct the heat, or somehow making bursts of steam, for example. Regardless, she's Accepted! Welcome aboard, 42.

@SilverPaw Love Kian. I'm imagining his hero costume as a fancy protective turtleneck, though, is that what you were going for? :b He's Accepted of course. Two down, eight to go!

@Majoras End You could PM me if you want to has out your idea! Or just put it in and see what happens!

@ShwiggityShwah Very interesting. Would Turbine let him, well, jet around similar to Engine? Or is it more for its wind power? Also you don't have to put it in the format I've put it, so long as all the pieces of my example App are there. But it's up to you!

Almost forgot I wasn't making a stand for a JoJo rp
I'll edit the point to 5. Though I'd prefer to keep it lower than 5 if you're okay with it.
I'm making my own appearances for a cursed reason so it'll take some time.

Let's just go with Weight Manipulation then.

@TruthHurts22

Yes very much. I designed him to be a speedster, but unrefined and a few ranged attack options. He gets quick dashes of air that allow him to fly and move around but they only can go for a few seconds before his engines start stalling. Ill add more when I can.

@TruthHurts22 You got the right of it, it's pretty much a glorified turtle-neck :D

Also, will move him to the character tab soonish - unless you feel like having both the 0th and 1st posts in there for your own purposes?
