Natalie was already awake. She knew that getting a good night's sleep would be important this night, so didn't sleep a wink. She got up at 5am, showered, and did her hair and makeup. She used the heavy black eyeliner look she had when she first came here. Then she put on her jeans and boots as normal, and the leather vest and fingerless gloves she'd bought at the skate shop. Before heading out, she looked at herself in the mirror. The scars on her muscular arms were starkly visible against her pale skin. "I look like a monster," she thought to herself, and then smiled.

Heidi got her breakfast from a vending machine. A granola bar and a bottle of apple juice. After that, she headed for the meet point. Lynn and Keaton were already there, as well as a boy Natalie didn't recognise. He must be Packet. She waved at them as she approached, but today her smile was small, and grim.

Okay, I discussed with my co-GM and two things to balance it:

1) The quirk should be touch-activated, not remote.
2) A stronger limit on how this quirk can be used against player characters. Something like "Can only affect one person at a time and cannot affect the same person again without a cooldown", for example.

My Hero Academia: Raw Potential

Today is your first day at Matsubara High. Luckily for all who enrolled in the Hero class, that's your first class of the day today. Ms. Mako is sitting at her desk. She's already been here for half an hour, looking after her notes. This isn't just your first day. This is new for your teacher too.

Akane was glad she'd been able to decide her curriculum, but having notes left over by the previous teacher certainly helped. That said, towards the end, it was clear to see the former teacher had given up and the classes had gone from 'How to be a famous Hero' to 'How to be a cop'. She'd change that. These kids wanted to be Heroes, and that's what she was going to teach them to be. She wanted them to be successful. She wanted members of her class to reach the single digit ranks. Some newspapers had speculated she'd try to sabotage them because she was a Villain, but nothing could be further from the truth. She knew the value of Heroes, even to Villains. Maybe some of them wouldn't admit it, but the difference between a criminal and a Supervillain, was a good Hero. And in Mako's experience, good Heroes were getting rarer and rarer as the gap between the top ten and the rest widened.

She looked at the clock. Her students would be arriving soon.

Nadeko called the guard over, by waving her arms. She didn't have to wait long. Her arms were eyecatching. He took her ticket, and put it through the barrier. She thanked him, and then boarded the train. Today was her first day at a Hero school. Her parents still weren't completely on board with the idea. The fact her mom had to help her put on her uniform really wasn't painting a picture of competent Hero material. But Nadeko knew she had power, and potential. She was going to become a symbol of inspiration to all other mutant quirk users, to show them that they can. They're not disabled.

There was nowhere to sit on the train, so she had to stand. As she couldn't grip the bars, she put the and of her arm against one and used the tiniest bit of attraction. Just enough to keep her steady as the train turned round corners, or slowed down. An older businessman in a suit grabbed the same railing, and there was embarrassing clink as his wristwatch stuck to the pole. Nadeko blushed, and turned her magnet off.

"Sorry," she apologised meekly. The businessman, looked like he was about to say something, then saw her ams and shut up. There is was, being treated like she was disabled again. Still, it had its perks. Though using your quirk in public is against the law, mutants are by and large excempt from it as you can't 'stop using' a mutation. If people hadn't assumed Nadeko couldn't control the magnetism of her magnets, she'd have been in a lot of trouble by now, but most times it was her only way to interact with objects.

The rest of the trip happened without incident. Nadeko changed her shoes at the locker room, and then headed for the Hero class. She still didn't know what to make of a Villain teaching it, but surely they wouldn't have let it happen if she wasn't going to do a good job. She opened the door by pushing down in the handle, and stepped inside.

"Ohayo gozaimasu!" she announced.

"Morning, Maeda-san," Mako replied cheerfully, with a bright smile and closed eyes, looking much more like a chipper secretary than an ex-criminal. "Please, take a seat anywhere you like."

Ms. Mako

Appearence:

Mako

Old Costume:

Old Costume

Name:
Mako Akane

Supervillian Name:
Madame Obsidian

Gender:
Female

Age:
36

Height:
5”8

Weight:
139 lbs

Personality:
There’s an air of mischief about the former supervillain. Her eyes are seemingly always shut and her mouth is always sporting a sly or bemused smile. She revels in teenage drama, and gets a kick out of watching the sparks fly, though she doesn’t stir the pot herself. She’s found that the pot gets stirred plenty without her input.

Though she does her job well and takes her responsibilities seriously, she does not do so at the cost of her personal enjoyment. She finds this job fun, and during after-school hours, even enjoys a cheeky beer or two at her desk as she sorts out the paperwork.

Just because she’s not a hero, and that she enjoys drama, that doesn’t mean that she is lenient with those who misbehave. If you think she’d go easy on a student who must be punished on her watch for acting villain-like, you’d be mistaken. Her punishments are cruel, but each designed to help you grow as a hero, rather than just to teach you not to do it again. Akane’s stern, serious face, when she stops her perpetual sly smile, and opens her golden eyes revealing their angry spark, is one of the more troubling sights a student can see.

Background:
Akane, even as a child, had a sadistic streak. While not a bully as such, she loved nothing more than to manipulate other students to cause drama and revel in spectating the chaos she’d caused. She was worryingly sadistic, and intelligent and cunning enough that she never received her righteous blame.

She never used her quirk in public ever since she discovered what it did. That’s because she knew what it could be used for. At first, the plan was simply to do wrong, but as she got older, she set her sights on one career path; stealing.

When she left school, she immediately started to use her quirk to break into buildings and steal the valuables without anybody knowing she had committed the crime. All they knew was that it was the same thief, and they were using their quirk, which by its nature burned any evidence which might be traced back to her, and nobody knew anybody with a quirk that could do this.

By the time she was 22, she was rich, and wanted for only one thing; infamy. Seeing the heroes and villains on television, she realised what she wanted; she wanted her deeds known, and credited to her. She wanted to be a supervillain.

She fashioned herself an elaborate costume using her ill-gotten gains, and started offering her services to clients under the name ‘Madame Obsidian’. The more challenging the robbery, the more appealing that job was for her.

Thus began the yearlong career of the professional thief Madame Obsidian. For a brief window of time she was THE supervillain all the Heroes were trying to catch. THE supervillain that everybody was talking about. It felt amazing.

She knew that it was inevitable that she’d be caught eventually, and sure enough, eight months into her career as Madame Obsidian, there were Heroes waiting at her target. She didn’t even put up a fight or tried to flee. She accepted defeat, and played up to the media during her entire arrest. supervillains who fight back until death, or act like once they’re caught, it’s game over. They’re never remembered, yet to this day the people who watched the news around that time still remember the witty and charismatic interviews given by the captured villainess.

She spent nine years in prison, in an isolated, reinforced cell, and frankly, the peace and quiet to think wasn’t that bad. The question she came back to a lot was ‘what would she do with her life now?’ She’d had her fun as a supervillain. It was time for a new life direction.

To the media’s surprise, the famous thief went straight out of prison and into an online teaching course. Despite that being the whole purpose of prison, it was still rare to see a supervillain actually turn over a new leaf! The press anxiously awaited her relapse in crime, and many Heroes who had tangled with her in the past kept a close eye on her.

Quirk:
Akane's quirk is an emission type quirk. She can heat up anything she touches with her hands. The scope of this quirk is so vast that she can warm up her coffee if it gets too cold, or she could superheat stone to it's melting point, breaking a hole in a wall in the process. She has incredible control over it.

Nadeko

Appearance:

Nadeko

Costume:

Costume

Name:
Maeda Nadeko

Hero/Vigilante Name:
Polaris

Gender:
Female

Age:
15

Height:
5”6

Weight:
170 lbs

Personality:
Nadeko is cheerful, cocky and a little bit of a show-off. She's friendly, helpful, kind and a positive person to be around. She can get overbearingly smug and self-centred, or defensive and prickly where her quirk is concerned. It can be a sore subject. Her primary pet peeve is people treating her like she's disable. She doesn't want pity or charity. She wants you to be impressed.

In an emergency situation, however, Nadeko isn't flashy. She has a good, just heart and will prioritise stopping people from getting hurt over looking cool. She's quite intelligent, and knows how to use her quirk creatively. She has good potential as a tactician or strategist though lacks the field experience currently.

Background:
Nadeko grew up with magnets for arms. While the other kids could do everything a quirkless could do, and had superpowers on top of that, Nadeko couldn't pick things up, interact with objects properly, or even eat unassisted. Special tools were ordered for her, that allowed her to accomplish different tasks by herself by attaching metal handles to things like hairbrushes and toothbrushes.

As she grew older, and became more accustomed and adept to using her powers, she stopped seeing them as the drawback everyone else did. She was gifted. She was powerful. She'd show off to the other kids in the class. This is when she started getting dreams of becoming a Hero. Her powers could help people! But more importantly, and though she won't admit it to herself, it came from a desire to prove to the world she wasn't handicapped. She wanted to save them for once.

Her parents were against her forsaking a proper education in favour of trying to get into UA or Shiketsu. She was smart, good at school, and would make a fantastic scientist. Nadeko hated the idea. She didn't want to hide away in a lab, making a small difference where nobody could see her. She wanted to be a symbol of inspiration to others! They compromised and she applied to Matsubara High.

Quirk:
Nadeko's forearms are instead two comically oversized magnets. With these magnets, Nadeko can attract or repel metal objects and other magnetic objects, as well as disrupt magnetic fields and electronic equipment. She can generate magnetic fields strong enough that if she points her arms at a building and pulls, she herself will move forward.

Her forearms are also large, square, and bulletproof, which makes them useful for protecting her chest and head during possible combat encounters. Getting punched by one is no joke either. It's like running head-first into a metal wall.

The obvious downside to this is she has no hands. No fingers. Which is an incredibly limiting drawback in today's world.
