Superpowers are still relatively new to mankind, first discovered for over a century ago in the city of Tokyo, Japan, news that of a baby that gave off a luminescent glow right after it was born. Since then, strange abilities have been sprouting up across the world. Time passed without the cause being identified; scientists have struggled to find out the cause behind this, lamenting it to evolution, however there is no solid evidence to what brought about this new super gene.
Naturally, humans were scared. They were met with newfound powers, dangerous and abnormal. For much of the first few decades, supers received brutal discrimination and punishment. Many were forced into camps and prisons and some were stolen away for experimenting. But as the numbers increased and the supers became more knowledgeable of their own abilities, they banded together and rose against authoritative figures. As history shows, with time and persistence, compassion begins to grow. The supers collaborated with humans, working side by side to protect civilization and prove that supers aren't all power-hungry monsters. There are a handful of people that have made a stand for the rights of supers and influenced the world to follow in their ideals who led the people with their brilliant and passionate words, opening the door to a brighter future for both humans and supers. Before we knew it, the supernatural became natural, and dreams had become reality.
We now live in a superhuman society with majority of the world's population possessing some kind of special trait. In this world swirling with chaos, the profession that everyone once dreamed about and admired came into the limelight. That profession is...still not quite yours. You are not a professional hero, the symbols of hope and peace for the entire world. You are a student, not at one of the top academies in the entire country, but in a newly established institution that aims to cater to those who are deemed less fortunate in one way or another. Those who failed to pass the grueling entrance examinations of other institutions, lacked financial aid and resources, or individuals who were not blessed with amazing quirks, none of those hold any bearing. No matter your backround or upbringing, you’ll always have a place here.
Welcome to Kosei Academy! This year will certainly be an interesting one. Please, enjoy it to its fullest.
Quirk
A quirk is a special, superhuman ability an individual can possess. Quirks are generally unique to their user, and are classified in multiple categories. Quirks are inherited genetically, and typically manifest in children by the age of four. A child can manifest either one of his parents' Quirks or a composite of the two. There are several laws and procedures to ensure the conscientious use of Quirks. During elementary school, children receive Quirk counseling, in order to learn how to use their powers responsibly. Public display of Quirks are against the law, except in cases of self defense, such as when one is under attack or preventing someone else from being attacked.
Quirk Types
Emitter Class - These quirk class grant the ability to either release certain substances, or alter materials around them in certain ways. While most emitter-type Quirk users generally have a handle on their own "emissions", it's also possible for users to hurt themselves from coming into too much contact with their quirk.
Transformation Class - User of this type of quirk are able to take on a temporary alteration of some kind. Transformation quirks allow the user to temporarily "transform" their body in a variety of manners, sometimes enhancing existing features or perhaps adding new features to the body altogether.
Mutant Class - These quirks can have a wide variety of features and abilities depending on the individual, but the common similarity seems to be that these quirks are a part of the user's physicality. As a result, these Quirks are always active, but generally allow the user the greatest degree of control.

Student Application Form
[Appearance]
Name: What was your name again? Age: Students for this school year are somewhere between 13 to 16. Gender: You tell us, right?
Personality: What are you like? Anything in particular that we need to know? Background: Give us a summary of your life up until now along with the reason you were enrolled at Kosei Academy.
Quirk: I'm hoping for some sort of uniformity for the Quirks to avoid any type of issue. I apologize for this, but I'd like all Quirks to be sent to me via PM so that we can discuss it before we make it official. I know its sort of a hassle, but its for the RP, and technically, all of us. Thank you for your cooperation.
Talents: I'm certain that you have other talents. A sport perhaps? Maybe you enjoy baking or dog grooming? Could you give me 2 at most?
@Demous What @Spy For Alvah and @Rune_Alchemist said. They were pretty spot on. If you have any questions, feel free to ask around. If I'm not around, I'm certain there are other who are more than willing to help you out.
@Spy For Alvah I don't know who this Alvah person is, but I see no reason for you not to join.
I'd prefer you use an actual image for Alma's appearance. Then as for her quirk, I have to say no to that; at least I don't want some sort of direct influence over others. This is sort of a fandom RP and in the series, abilities that influenced others directly were quirks that focused on mind-control and cognitive function impairment. For the former, the prerequisite was answering the user's questions while the latter's prerequisite to work was to make those targeted by her quirk laugh first.
If you really want to use that quirk, we can talk about it in a PM to avoid cluttering up the thread? Just tell me and I'll send you a message.
