Shou's eye twitched at Shen-Mu's words. His previous sheepishness was gone as he glanced over her briefly. Who do you think you are? Mocking me? Rubbing it in? No one asked you..." Averting his eyes, glaring off, he wanted to relax, but Yuki was still on him for the time being, though he finally let go. Shou let out a sigh of relief as he stepped off, before giving and uncomfortable shudder. Why does everyone have to touch me? This is the worst. Of course, since he went off...

Wait, he resigned from the team too? And now he was facing down Boro. Along with everyone else, it seemed like. Wait a minute...

Ah. Ah! Aaaaah! I'm so stupid! Stupid stupid stupid! Grumbling to himself, he couldn't believe how short sighted he'd been. This whole voting nonsense was probably supposed to test them as heroes or something! And since all these wannabe heroes were so self-sacrificing, everyone was dragging each other back, like crabs in a bucket, even though the only thing outside the bucket was a steep drop. Probably. Besides, if he started whining about wanting to go it'd probably be taken as him being no different from all the hero wanna-

Shrill whistle piercing the room and his thought bubble, once his ears stopped ringing, he clicked his tongue as yet another clamored to the chopping block, or something. Every single thing happening in this room just made Shou want to be anywhere but. He shifted his seating, tempted to just get up and walk away, but Shen-Mu's head turned towards him.

"Who will it be? The one to be resigned? To come here only to immediately leave. I don't know about you. But I didn't come here to immediately turn back."

Raising his head, Shouichi gave Shen-Mu a befuddled look, before shrugging. Eh? She's not being all condescending anymore? Or maybe she is, but she doesn't really sound snippy about it. I don't... But then...he noticed she'd looked towards him. And...her eyes...

...She's blind! Shou realized, jaw dropping in horror. He'd...he'd just shrugged at a girl who couldn't see. Internally cringing himself into a nether realm, he pulled himself back up as he realized he technically hadn't responded yet. Why was the worst thing always happening? But of course, he couldn't come up with anything good to say.

"M-maybe everyone. Th-th-th-this whole th-th-thing is a j-j-j-joke. Hu hu hu..." He capped it off with a forced laugh, only heightening the harshness of his clumsy comment.
Yuki's arm encasing Shou by the shoulders, the hand of the Ice Dragon felt uncomfortably hot. His skin prickled oddly as he squirmed lightly, cringing in discomfort at the touch of another person.

Muttering to Yuki, Shouichi grumbled, "Y-you don't g-g-get it. M-m-my p-parents f-f-forced me into th-th-this. I-if I get k-k-kicked out, th-then all the b-b-better!"

Before he could continue, there was a glint from the other side, Shou starting to tremble as he he lightly turned his head, Satan returning to his vision, his face threatening, his arm raised and dangerous. He wanted to Blink away, but Yuki was right there: they'd already countered his Quirk, and now he was a dead man. He forced his eyes shut, flinching away.

As Satan slapped Shou's shoulder, he let out a low grunt of fright, but there was no pain beyond the forceful slap. Daring to open an eye, he was greeted by Satan's motor mouth once again.

"-then I shall resign and give you my place."

wait what

"-but it churns my insides to see you left out and ignored-"

Okay, now you're kind of pissing me off. Stay in character, 'demon'!

Finishing his line of thought, Satan stomped off, leaving Shou to reimagine the placement of the teams. He was with Yuki and the two girls? Greeeaaat. The only thing worse than deciding groups was actually being on one. Speaking of...well, 'the devil' probably wouldn't be the right term here.

After Shen-Mu introduced herself, Shou wanted to slip away from Yuki's grasp, but instead, he kept his eyes locked on the ground in front of her, as if not daring to touch her with his eyes. "Sh-Shouichi..." he replied softly.

Back against the smoke wrought like steel, Shou's eyes struggled to stay open with a tired bitterness as he watched the others group up like it was natural. There was a pit mulling around in his stomach as he realized that with the smaller amount of groups, there weren't going to be a lot of leftovers. He was going to be lumped with a group that hadn't chosen him, which was perhaps even worse. Thumping his forehead into his knees, he wanted nothing more than to be gone...

After a minutes or so, there was a bit of movement from nearby. Shouichi dared sneak a glance, losing interest the moment he saw who it was. The guy's just restless maybe? He can't be heading over here, his group is already... Wait, he's not stopping. Why is he...oh. Oh no. Oh god of n-

"Hey what's up I'm Satan I noticed you haven't joined a group yet and-"

no no no NO NO NO. Why god?

"-nobody here really likes me-"

Me included!

"They probably think I'm a real demon."

Did you think that was clever or do you really believe that? Oh my god he's got 8th Grader Syndrome it all makes sense now.

Satan continued on, extending a formal invitation, Shou desperately trying to keep his expression neutral, rather than let it slip into one of disgust or fear. Because as much as Shou wanted to be anywhere but right next to this guy, he could still be some delinquent punk who'd rip him to pieces. Assuming it wasn't just some 8th Grader Syndrome bark to conceal the lack of a bite. Was Shou going to let himself be killed by a delinquent punk, or get annoyed to death by him? Eyes glazing over at the horrible choice, he realized, Well, if I piss him off, I die faster, sooooo...

Shifting awkwardly, he opened his mouth. "T-t-team up with y-you?" Slipping his legs down and crossing them, he coiled his arms around his chest, turning his head away. "I d-don't want to b-b-be on any g-group. B-besides, if anyone's g-g-getting voted off i-it's me. I d-d-d-don't even want to b-be here..."

"And you can't have a team of five you friggin' dumbass!"

Heh heh, yeah it would have been cool if I said that, Shouichi considered, but his self preservation instinct kicked in at the last moment as he kept his eyes away, heart beating louder as he started to sweat, hairs on the back of his neck standing as he felt Satan's stare.

Noisy reporters, noisier students: Shouichi was already growing disgusted with the whole arrangement. Every so often he shuffled a bit closer to the door, a part of him wanting to be thankful for the more boisterous students who commanded attention, directing it well away from him. The only tiny detail keeping him from actually being thankful was that they were just as bad, some of them falling into that pace willin-

Rustle rustle

The slight movement from the flowering bush nearby made Shou jump making him take a rather wheezy intake of breath. Patting his chest to still his beating heart, he moved away, looking around in hopes that no one was looking, before moving to a passive stance. Glancing up at the door, he considered going in as a few others went for it, but he didn't want to get attention from anyone. Better to just...

A prescence made itself known to him. While the other students and some relative distance to each other, someone had come to stand in a rather close proximity. Turning his head ever so slightly, he glimpsed a head of long, dark hair.

Eyes bulging, he averted his eyes as quickly as feasible, body going rigid. No. No way, it couldn't be... A girl? Swallowing, he dared steal another glance, this time spotting a bit of her face and glasses. She wasn't paying him much mind, yet there she stood.

Whaaaaaat is this? I don't get it: there's plenty of room back here but why is she so cloooose? D-did she not see me? But there's no one else this close to me. So if someone takes a picture...doesn't she realize I'll probably be in it too? Unless...she wants that? Could it be she...wants...

Shou bit the inside of his mouth. Nononono, don't you go down the road of thinking about 3D like that. Don't you dare. She can't have noticed me. Of course not, I have no presence. The reporters aren't bothering me, my mom's gone, no one cares...like I don't exist at all... As his eyes glazed over at his existential line of though, he suddenly lit up as he realized, Maybe I can just walk right out and no one would know!

As he stood there, closing his eyes, his mind allowed him to get back to his room as he imagined what he was going to do the moment he got back: the swathes of media avaliable to him... True bliss.

As the shape of the noise around him changed, he suddenly opened his eyes, only to be blinded by whiteness. As his cry of fright joined the others, before his panicked lungs met smoke, he didn't have much time to ruminate before finding himself spirited away.

Laying flat, arms and legs pinned together by his own unwillingness to move, once Shou recovered his breath, he shakily stood, the students being instructed by a shockingly average man.

As Boro finished his little orientation, Shou found himself letting out a sigh of derision. Groups. It haaaaad to be groups.

Shou knew groups. Small circles of friend-oh wait, he didn't know groups like that, nor did he know groups picked for the competence of its members. Shou only knew the 'leftovers', unless the teacher took pity on him and let him work alone. Beyond those fortunate days, he only knew groups of friends outcast by a smaller size requirement, delinquents who decided to attend class that day, and other disinterested losers such as himself. Expectations low, he sidled off to the side, avoiding as many paths as possible, waiting for his fellow leftovers to be kicked out to the curb, his face still frumpy at the mere thought of 'groups'.
White noise seemed to pack the space between Shouichi's ears, as he froze up completely. Flash photography and glinting lenses dazzled his round eyes. He'd lost his mother in the crowd...

Shifting awkwardly, sweat beading all over him, he suddenly became more conscious of the way his white T-shirt stretched over his round body while his mud colored slacks bit into his waist. His uneven hair dangled as bowed his head, school bag hanging from his shoulder. Already he was regretting everything. Normally he'd be sleeping so he could catch War:Zero tonight while it aired, but 'I can't miss the first day' he reasoned to himself.

I just want to leave...
I would love to join and this would be my first RP so I might need some help

and I know nothing about My Hero Academia


Well, to briefly explain My Hero Academia, the majority of people on the planet are born with 'Quirks', which are superpowers (like, 80% of people have them if I recall). As such, superheroing is something that requires training and licencing by schools and associations (vigilantism exists but it is largely frowned upon). As explained in the OP, your character would be someone with a Quirk who entered or was entered into an institute intended for outcasts unable to apply to more well known establishments (partly explained here). You might want to snoop around the wikia, at least the page that explains Quirks and gives examples, so you know where to start. Also consider reading the sheets posted in the OOC for a few example characters.
I'll go with Western order for simplicity then.

As for the agency, I have more than enough information for now, much appreciated!
