The premise is this: You're a student at Hero Academy...or rather what used to be a Hero Academy. Over the past ten years, its found itself struggling to stay relevant. Agencies and sponsors lost interest after several years of its graduates not being proper hero material mentally. It tried to recover but the damage was done. It lost most of its funding. It lost the training facilities. It lost the on-site dormitories. It started to offer more and more non-hero classes to break even, until over half the student body suddenly weren't even trying to become heroes. It's practically a regular high school now. A regular high school with Hero classes.

Last year, the previous Hero class teacher, an old z-list Hero, has finally retired. Every hero is either too famous to take this job, or too busy trying to climb the ranks. Statistically, this school's Hero class mostly produces Emergency Services and Law Enforcement. It's not the place to go if you were a past-his-peak Pro-Hero looking to make a difference to the next generation. But there was one applicant with the relevant experience in the world of Superheroism; Ms. Akane Mako. AKA Madame Obsidian, the famous thief and Supervillain who's reign of infamy lasted close to a year before she got caught. Fresh out of prison, and looking to go straight, she was given the role. She will be your Hero Class teacher this year.

You're a first year at this school. Whether you're here because you didn't quite have the power or skill to make it elsewhere, or you had too much of a vigilante mindset and are looking for somewhere more relaxed . or you're just a local, this is your high school and you were curious, you are part of the Hero Class. If you have grand dreams of fame and acclaim, or you want to be the Number 1 Hero some day, you've started with the king of all disadvantages.

So yeah, that's the idea I have. Let me know if you're interested/have any ideas of your own for the world or story!

I'll add a character sheet and create a Discord Server once we have some interest. Looking forward to doing this!
