Important facts of the BNHA universe
Boku-no-Hero-Academia-Erased-Head.gif

1. Important facts about the Boku no Hero universe

Now, I realize some of these are sort of minor spoilers, but do understand all of these are universal facts that apply to EVERYONE in the boku no hero universe. It is therefore important that you keep them in mind when you make your characters, and when you rp as said characters

1- By law it is forbidden to use quirks in public other than for self-defense.

2- On average, quirks manifest at either birth or at age 4 and going beyond that without a quirk manifesting is usually sign you either don´t have one or have a superfulous one. A general sign that pratically guarantees one won´t have a quirk is their foot´s pinky toe have the human amount of joints, as this is a sign of the less evolved version of humanity, before they had quirks

3- With extremely rare exceptions, quirks are either inhereted from one of the parents or a mix of both their parent´s quirks, if they are compatible. It is also common to inheret certain features from one´s parents if they have a mutation type quirk, even if one does not inheret the quirk itself.

4- While it is possible to artificially induce someone into having two quirks or more, the general result is the person who gained exta quirks becoming braindead, unable to speak or think by themselves.

5- Having a quirk is a two step process. You must have both the quirk and the biological mechanisms that allow it to function (the latter being called "the quirk factor"). That means that even if your quirk isn´t biological strictly speaking (Uraraka´s zero gravity for example), it is still backed by biological mechanisms with physical limits (like running can strain your muscles).

6- You are always either a hero, villain, vigilante, criminal or civilian. Everyone starts out as a citzen, and if they commit a crime, they are a criminal. If the nature of that crime, whether committed or just planned and likely to be executed envolves the usage of quirks or a direct offense against society or heroes, then a person is considered a villain. A licensed, law-abiding crime fighter is a hero. A hero who breaks the law or doesn´t have a licence is a vigilante (who are also considered criminals).

7- All Might is the symbol of peace. The number one hero known for having saved over a hundred people in less than 10 minutes in his debut, and whose very existence managed to drop the until always rising crime rates down considerably, inspiring courage in other heroes and fear in criminals and villains. He is the very pillar of society. There is a lot involved in putting on a show as a hero, from attack and hero names for people to remember and be inspired by, to All Might´s smile, the symbol of peace is a master at it that many take after.

8- The Hero ranking is based on popularity and feats alike. The ranking and performance of heroes determines their payment and support from the government.

9- Pro heroes with enough wealth and popularity can start hero agencies, organizations with themselves at the forefront that deal with marketing the hero, dealing with partnerships, help the hero find new incidents to deal with and allow a pro hero to hire sidekicks. However, because sidekicks often don´t get the same recognition as your typical hero, many choose to start agencies as soon as they graduate.

10- There are three types of quirk: Emission, Transformation and Mutation. Emission quirks can create or manipulate susbtances, transformation quirks transform one´s body temporarily, and mutation quirks are an inherent permanent modification to the user´s body, that usually alters their appearance.

11-In the early days of quirks, society was divided and in chaos. With laws unable to handle the suddden emergence of superpowers, evil forces began to take control of the reckless mobs. All Might came to put an end to this age of terror, but records of what actually happened were "few" and not much is known about that time.

12- All Might´s quirk is a world mystery

13- This applies to japanese culture in general, but it is considered that first names have significant measure in how close two people are, relationship wise. Most people refer to one another by their last names until given permission to switch to a first name basis by the other person.

14. Overly Sexual Hero Costumes are Banned

15. It is impossible to give someone a quirk without you yourself having a quirk that manipulates quirks in some way

16. The society of boku no hero is basically frozen in the early 21st century tech, with few advancements technologically or sociological terms except regarding quirks. Some say humans would be taking vacations in other planets by this point if not for the advent of quirks

17. The history of the last century is half-thrown in shade

18. Hero licences are divided into several categories. A provisional hero licence is a hero licence where a student is allowed to intern for a hero on the side, to gian experience, effectively being able to work as hero if so instructed. Support licences are licences for the development of new technology and selling of this technology to heroes and other government entities. A proper hero licence is one given to make someone a full-fledged hero, and can be acquired by passing three years of a hero academy or by working under a hero for sufficiently long and then being atributed by said hero a hero licence.

19. The hero society of my hero academia is focused on show. To be popular and inspire hope and peace, heroes take various measures, afterall, their payment depends on it. This includes the fact that a hero's hero costume is more often than not designed to fit their quirk and heroes are rarely if ever using additional technology beyond the needs or synergies with their quirk.

20. In the first years of the rise of quirks, a flurry of laws were passed to regulate them. Others laws came later, such as the law that prevents hero costumes from being too indicent or show too muc nudity.

21. The first hero system was created in Rhode island, in America. 7 vigilantes became official heroes while the remaining ones, not in this government-run hero system, were considered villains.

22. The criteria innitially used to choose those that would be heroes and those that wouldn't was popularity.

23. After every incident, heroes must file reports to the police detailing the event. After this, a special investigation is conducted, based on which heroes are paid.

24. The UA is the most renowned hero school in Japan. It seems every major hero has graduated from UA. Hence it being such a big deal as it endorsed the PSA.

Peace Sign Academia
2. Peace Sign Academia
Peace Sign Academia is a new hero boarding school founded by a group of lesser ranked heroes who took inspiration from UA and even managed to gain the endorsement of the top hero school.


  • It all starts with All Might. As the symbol of peace took the world by storm, it wasn´t just the youngsters to be swayed by his spirit, but fellow heroes as well. At the time, the founders of PSA were still studying to become heroes themselves. Trying to be like All Might, each of them was unable to reach such destination. No matter what they were lacking in power and core, they were never more than lessser known heroes. But even that kind of hero can serve to better the world, in many ways. One of those is education, they realized.

    And so a group gathered and ideas started to go around. About creating a school were kids would learn to be inspirational like that, and where they could learn to live with the adversity that sometimes faces everyone- heroes and non heroes alike. It was all about continuing All Might´s creation of a world of hope.

    After a small legal squabble with All Might´s agency, and getting the endorsement of UA, the heroes who´d teamed up for this project used their quirks to start it from nothing. The little funding they had went into getting the raw materials, as well as hiring a small construction firm to help them go through some more troublesome aspects. In a few month´s time, the academy was constructed. A bit of paperwork later and it was ready to receive students even making it into the news.

New Rule: Honorifics and Name Order
mumble.gif
3. Honorics and Name Order

Honorifics are a sign of your view and relation with the person you´re adressing. At the end of a person´s name or nickname, add "-" followed by the appropriate honorific. Similarly to the name order, it is possible to adress someone without an honorific, although in this case that is usually either a sign of treating the other person as an enemy or being extremely close to them (best friends/spouse level of closeness) and getting permission.
Note: This is the official version for this RP. It is simplified in both the meaning and the number of the honorifics, but since everyone has to be able to use them, it´s necessary. I hope people in all sides can understand the need for this compromise.
Shi: Referring to someone you don´t know at all or still consider a stranger

San: most common one, formal, used as a default

Chan/Chin: informal and cutesy, mostly applies between girls, or when adressing a small child or a pet

Kun: informal adressing of or referring to a male, usually one younger than yourself or with whom you have a good degree of familiarity

Pyon: Used between lovers

Pi: Adressing a pet

Sama: Adressing or referring to someone who is much higher ranked than you, any form of nobility or royalty, or even just someone for whom you have undying dedication, great respect or are presenting some form of service to.

Dono: Adresses or refers to only a nobleman or affliated with someone of high social standing

Sensei: Used to adress or refer to any form of teacher, master or instructor. When using this honorific, one can also adress the person without using their name, shortening it just to the honorific

Senpai: Used to adress someone slightly older than you or who has been at an occupation longer than you have. When using this honorific, one can also adress the person without using their name, shortening it just to the honorific

Kouhai: The inverse of senpai. When using this honorific, one can also adress the person without using their name, shortening it just to the honorific

Niisan/Neechan: Used to adress an older sibling (the first is for an older brother and the second an older sister). When using this honorific, one can also adress the person without using their name, shortening it just to the honorific.

Jiichan/baasan: Used to adress or refer to an elder or grandparent (first a granfather, second a granmother). When using this honorific, one can also adress the person without using their name, shortening it just to the honorific.

Tan- children´s version of "chan"

Oniichan/Oneechan- How young children adress older people, first for a boy, second for a girl

reference material: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics


In Japan, first names are extremely important and personal. As such, good manners there requires you to adress the other person by their last name until you´ve grown close enough to adress each other by your first names, usually with permission. Special cases, however, are possible, even if they are usually seen as a bother and invasion of privacy.

Chosen Extra Class: General Studies

Appearance:
1023e29c970a1e7d64ef6359e36e7d28.jpg



(soon to be) Hero Costume:
unstoppable_plush_juggernaut_by_beastkid7-d4wxpz4.jpg


Yes, this "armor" is entirely composed of pillows

Height: 4foot9

Weight: 150ibs

Personality: Randie is a clueless person with a very shy and meek personality, but a strong drive to prove themselves. They are a crybaby and a coward, with a tendency to run away from their problems and hide, but work hard to improve and show the world that even with a shitty quirk like theirs, it's possible to become a great hero, for whom they have the utmost respect. For this reason, they try to hide the huge fear they have of the judgment of others by always volunteering first and trying to be as proactive as possible despite the constant failures. Especially in the social aspect. They are too shy and afraid to usually go up to people and when they they usually end up saying something completely innaprorpiate due to their inability to read the mood or it's to scold someone on not following the rules properly. This kindhearted and diligent approach makes them rather naive and seduceable by sweet words, easy to boss around and trick, especially given how easily excitable Randie is. They are, in fact, desperate to live up the expectations of others. So much so they act in an extremely cutesy fashion and are often clumsy and extra girly on purpose, despite clearly being embarassed about it.

Likes: Food, clowns, pillows, praise, people agreeing with him

Dislikes: bullying, surprises, yelling

Mother- Odyno McFace is a nice greek lady with the simple quirk of her face being able to swallow into an eggplant with a light aphrodisiac aroma. She does understand why some men just up and decide to give her money before going to dark alleys.

Quirk: X-treme Allergies- this quirk enhances the user's allergy symptoms to an extreme, and allows them to trasmit diseases out of themselves by licking two people. Sneeze causes great destructing, swallowing makes him grow into the shape of a large eggplant and fever sets his forehead on fire.
