ULTRA SONIC
Before the vibrant golden age of Heroes, there was an era now long forgotten. Quirks in this era were still a minority group with only one in about every ten people possessing one, but their numbers were quickly rising with every new generation. A group of Quirkless supremacists argued that this “new step in human evolution” was a stain to be wiped clean, and sought to persecute those that possessed Quirks. With the rising population of people with Quirks came the rise of a new breed of crime. Villain crime. The Yakuza, newly empowered with a growing population of Quirk users tired of being treated like second class citizens, have full control of the underbelly of Japan.
In response to the resulting wave of violent crime and an underprepared police force, vigilante Quirk users had risen up to face them. While they were initially shunned by the government for their reckless actions, nobody could argue with the results. Plans were made to introduce a legal Quirk police force, to be called “Heroes”. Vigilantes could now come clean and receive proper training and compensation for their duties. The system was young, volatile, and flawed.
In addition to allowing vigilantes to become proper Heroes, the country sought out to mold the next generation into Heroes of a higher standard. As most vigilantes started their careers fresh out of high school, what better way to start up the first generation of legal Heroes than to make a high school specifically for training them? To expedite this process, the government formed a contract with an existing high school, which, in return for a grand renovation and government protection, would host the training of these future Heroes.
However, the road to heaven is never smooth. Forces clash as new Quirk bearing students, an academic body of uninformed Quirkless students, a mix of government workers, and a ragtag force of vigilantes-turned-teacher mix in this high school, now dubbed UA.
You are a potential first year applicant to this young hero training program, and part of the second round of students to be accepted into the academy.
Setting Notes
- Quirks are well known about with about one in every ten people possessing one, but they are generally shunned by the quirkless and compared to monsters. Alternatively, some people have taken to worshiping them like gods in a cult-like manner.
- Hero culture is small, only just getting it's roots. Students will have little reference on what exactly a hero is supposed to be outside of comic books.
- While UA didn't have dorms in the show until mid-season, this universe will have dormitories to protect students from potential attacks by quirkless extremist protesters.
- Hero schools are extremely rare across the world, so it's entirely likely the class will contain a few foreign students.
- While this is set many years ago, the technology will be comparable to what is seen in the anime. Think about how progress halted to focus on quirk use.
