Hi, any idea why my hiders won't work?

Another 'My Hero Academia' Early days, before UA

Ok I should start working on making a fancy intro post.

What ideas has everyone got for their quirk?

The day has come!

Breath stopped at 5AM, like a permeating calm

Biting my nails at the emergency exit –
which way is tomorrow?

The day has come!



Nights that never end… endlessly falling rain…

Both exist in this terrible world.

So it’s not odd in the slightest – you’re always tripping up, half-asleep

I’m really not trying to criticize you for it



Playing alone in your fantasy world,

Will you still feel embarrassed about the things you imagine there?



This maze is tangled, so tangled, are you really still planning to go?

The sound of a bell, played by a tiny adventurer, signals a new beginning!
Even your destination: don’t know, don’t know

Are you sure you aren’t scared?

But each step you take will change you

The day has come!


Those you can’t seem to understand… those who pretend to understand you…

Both exist in this terrible world.

This place is certainly not Hell, but I expect it’s not Heaven either

It exists as a perforation in the very middle.



As the cards divine what tomorrow will bring 
You’re likely aware their meaning carried off by the wind.



This maze is tangled, so tangled, are you really still planning to go?

The sound of a bell, played by a tiny adventurer, signals a new beginning!

Even your destination: don’t know, don’t know

Are you sure you aren’t scared?

But each step you take will change you

The day has come!



You want to keep believing in the things you’ve seen with those two eyes, but as you cower in the dark

Your horrible predictions are morphing into the truth:
so cry on, cry on!



Real survivors, with undying effort, stab each other in the back 

Those who survive are the winners, and “fairness” is but an illusion!

While the Secret Hunter, creeping your way, tells of worldly affairs;

He sharpens his claws on the emergency exit – which way is tomorrow?

The day has come!

Premises

Mankind has recently started developing superpowers, commonly being referred to as "Quirks" with just under 1 in 10 or 10% of the population having some kind of superpower. These new abilities are mostly minor and often go unnoticed. There are however the few that make an impact.

Some have found they can excel at certain jobs and make an easy living while others have found fame or notoriety in their actions, either deliberate or by accident.
This unexplained sudden gift can also be a curse. There is much of the population that looks down upon 'quirk' users negatively. Quirks users are still a major minority and there are those that think it's unnatural, unholy but mostly unfair.

No one is yet sure how to handle the situation or what is next, but one thing is for sure, people fear what they don't understand. Rumours already circulate the world that only increase the divide between quirk users and not. Stories of institutes torturing and testing people's quirk abilities. Then there is the tales of quirks that are so powerful they make men above and unbound by the laws of civilisation.

Hate groups, sympathy groups, and strange cults have all been born from intolerant lies, fear, deceit and misunderstandings.
Meanwhile rumours of war between the people constantly rise as parliament rush and desperately try to push through new laws to balance and end all this chaos.

This is your story, where will you sit in the grand scheme of things? What future and name will you make for yourself? If any.

One more and I'll make the OOC!
Thanks guys.

Keep the questions coming.

Another 'My Hero Academia' Early days, before UA

I was thinking those titles don't exist yet, you will be labeled according to your actions.

If you become drunk on power and think you have the right to break the law then you will become a villain. Maybe you start trying to help people but nothing goes your way so you slip between both roles. Perhaps you hid your quirk silently keeping it to yourself but continually noticed the way it could help people until you could no longer ignore it.

But short answer is yeah either.
But there's a possibility to fall between the lines.

Hider

Name: Ryder Shaw

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Appearance: Pretty much exactly as image. Dragon tattoo and all. Maybe, just maybe a cleaner shirt.

Personality: Head strong and stubborn. Can be considered abrasive and rude but deep down he is deeply caring and protective. Although he only shows this with a tough love approach.
He is confident and often altruistic in his actions. However his low self worth causes him to act recklessly often with little regard to his own safety.

Background: His mother passed away when he was just a young child. He still remembers the days of seeing her bed stricken with a terminal illness. His father was a respectable hard working guy, doing the best he could with what he had in an unfair world. After his mother's death Ryder's fathers life slowly spiralled out of control from the loss. He became an abusive alcoholic who could hardly provide for his son. Who hardly tried. Ryder suddenly had to grow up fast and became bitter and hard.

Abilities:
Perseverance:

Never give up, never back down. Ryder pushes on despite all odds not knowing when to quit. When his sights are set on something he becomes a true force to be reckoned with. This lets him carry on where others would fall but due to the likely hood of overdoing it this can also be considered a flaw.

Brawling:

His rough street lifestyle and poor upbringing have taught him to be a fighter. While not extremely technical, experience has taught him how to take, dodge and deliver a punch.

Scoundrel:

Those that truly want something will do anything to get it. He is not afraid to lie, cheat or steal to see his ends met, and he has become pretty good at it. Morals are something reserved for those of privilege with a background of luxury and choice.

Relic:
Locket of forgotten memories

A necklace locket that has an early picture of his family inside. Happier simpler times. It has long since been fused shut. To keep it safe it is often tied around his wrist and tucked securely into his glove.

I know there is already a game or two but I'm still hoping to get this one running. I'm just looking for a small dedicated group to begin with, with the possibility of growing the numbers later.

The idea is that it will take place during the early days of discovering 'Perks' with less than 20% of people having them. This will be about how the world and you adapt to this new phenomenon.

I would like a very loose based stat system that just shows a characters strengths vs weaknesses. Where characters can develop but aren't good at everything. (Open to ideas)

So yea, let me know if you are interested and any ideas/suggestions.

Ooh lastly I was thinking
1st generation- you were one of the first to develop powers. No one taught you anything about it. You are older, wiser and have better control of your quirk than the younger generations. You start in a more prominent position and might have a bit of fame/connections already but your quirk will never be as strong as the later generation.

2nd gen - In the middle, you have had a quirk for a little while, whether you have shared this info or not is another story. Your parents probably had one. Perhaps you have already had time to think what this means for you and started preparing.

3rd gen - You know about quirks from TV and possibly your parents but you wouldn't have done much training or prepping for it since as of only a few weeks ago you were just another ordinary teen. While you have little control over it now, your quirk holds high potential.

Police force is subtly against all quirk users while no laws exist yet.
There are radical groups in support and against.

Interested.
Can I get a bit more info on the relic?

It seems every power that is not canon is getting rejected.
So yeah, I'm out.
Good luck though.

@Dark Light I'm not sure what you're doing with that quirk. Are you saying you can stretch your arm or something by bending space? Wouldn't it just be easier to have an elastic body?

@vancexentan

Ok so if he brought point A closer to point B
It would appear as what ever passes through/between these points stretches.
Point A and B don't 'appear' any closer but the space between them has condensed so if you walked or reached through it you would get a 'crazy mirror' effect.
Glass fishbowl sorta thing.

I don't know how else to explain it. He bends space, he doesn't go elastic but the most common way he uses it might give that appearance.
