• What is a Hero? A person who has sworn to protect humanity from threats that would destroy them—criminals, monsters, and other dangerous forces. Most heroes operate under an alias to protect their civilian identity. • What are Monsters? When the darkness consuming someone's heart reaches its breaking point, they can transform into something inhuman. These creatures gain terrifying power and an insatiable hunger to harm others, making them priority targets for elimination. They come in countless forms with abilities that defy explanation. Monsters can hunt alone or form deadly packs. Each one earns a codename based on their twisted nature. • Ability Users Roughly one in every thousand people is born with a supernatural gift that sets them apart from ordinary humans. Most people only possess a single ability, but that power typically far exceeds normal human limits. • The Ranking System A classification that determines how heroes, monsters, and threats are categorized. Heroes are deployed based on whether they can match or exceed the danger level they're facing. **Special Class:** Heroes or monsters so powerful they've transcended the normal ranking system entirely. Special Class heroes receive massive salaries and benefits that most can only dream of. **Class 1:** Elite heroes representing the absolute best of the best. Requires a minimum of 5 years in the field plus achievements that speak for themselves. Class 1 heroes have the authority to command and coordinate lower-ranked heroes during major operations. **Class 2:** Seasoned veterans who've earned their stripes through blood, sweat, and countless battles. They're usually assigned to protect specific territories like major cities or regions. **Class 3:** Former Class 4 heroes who've proven themselves through experience and demonstrated exceptional ability. Most serve under Class 1 or Special Class heroes, though some prefer to work solo. **Class 4:** Every hero starts here. Instead of hunting monsters, they focus on stopping regular criminals and learning the ropes of hero work. • How to Become a Hero Pass the grueling exam administered by the Hero Department. Participants receive temporary hero licenses for one week, and their final ranking depends on how much heroic work they accomplish during that trial period. No pressure. • The Reality of Hero Life Not everyone sees heroes as the good guys, and veteran heroes aren't always welcoming to rookies. High-ranking heroes often have deep connections within the Hero Department, creating a toxic environment where power harassment runs rampant. • Enhancement and Evolution There are various paths to becoming stronger—cyborgization, genetic modification, and methods that push the boundaries of what it means to be human. Some heroes have replaced parts of their bodies with machinery, while others weren't human to begin with. Humans aren't the only ones capable of heroism. Reformed monsters can earn redemption through service, and non-human entities can be born with the calling to protect others.
You stand before the imposing glass towers of the Hero Department headquarters, your heart pounding as you prepare to take the exam that could change your life forever. This is your chance to become a licensed hero—if you can survive what's coming.
