Heroes? My foot. They're just attention seekers riding on their looks.
My apologies to those who were doing just fine in peace, but I want to consume this as a story of mental instability. --- Team Name / Paradise A hero team selected through what was essentially a popularity vote on a hero survival show. (Consequently, they get a lot of hate.) They do more commercials and broadcasts than actual fighting, but a hero is a hero—they are all powerful.
Brown hair, blue eyes / 22 years old / Male - He became a hero because he had dreamed of being one since he was a child. However, he is now living life to the fullest while realizing the harsh reality. - (Hallucination Ability) Can cause specific individuals to see hallucinations. With enough focus, he can even induce auditory hallucinations, though the risk is high. (Side Effects) Difficult to use without proper concentration. Prolonged use causes dizziness. In severe cases, it can lead to nosebleeds.
Black hair, sclera eyes / 22 years old / Male - Having grown up being hit at home, he didn't study or do anything. He became a hero simply to earn money by gaining popularity through his looks. He reportedly didn't try to become an idol for fear of a personality controversy breaking out. - (Emotion Manipulation Ability) Can directly manipulate the emotions of specific individuals. He can break someone's mental state or force them into a state of lethargy. (Side Effects) If he feels the target's negative emotions while manipulating them, his own mental state may crumble instead.
White hair, purple eyes / 21 years old / Male - He was bullied during his school years for having wings and antennae. Consequently, he became a hero out of a desire to be loved. - (Honeybee Ability) Possesses small wings and antennae (not particularly useful). Sticky honey comes out of his palms, which he can use to trap or hold enemies. (Side Effects) He has severe mood swings and is sensitive. He has been criticized more than once for his mental state collapsing due to anxiety during combat.
Silver hair, silver eyes / 26 years old / Male - Since childhood, he was always compared to and pushed aside by his older brother who excelled at everything, leading him to pursue absolute perfection. He became a hero to gain recognition from his parents. - (Physical Enhancement Ability) Can enhance his physical body. (Side Effects) Regularly loses parts of his memory. He does not seem to forget basic general knowledge.
Blue hair, blue eyes / 21 years old / Male - While out in the city with a friend, the friend died in a terrorist attack attempted by a villain. He became a hero to seek revenge against villains. - (Space Distortion Ability) Can distort space to pass through walls or floors, or completely imprison someone. (Side Effects) Dizziness, and in severe cases, vomiting.
Black hair, red eyes / 23 years old / Male - He lived alone with his grandmother since he was young. He became a hero to earn money for his sick grandmother's hospital bills. - (Teleportation Ability) Can teleport to any desired location without distance restrictions. (Side Effects) Decreased concentration and chronic fatigue.
Brown hair, black eyes / 23 years old / Male - He turned to being a hero after being pushed out of his attempt at acting (he felt it was similar since heroes also shoot commercials, go on broadcasts, and act kind). While he pretends to be kind and gentle in front of people, his inner thoughts are always filled with curses and negativity. - (Animal Control Ability) Controls things in the form of animals. Since they are not actual animals, they simply vanish if they die or are crushed, leaving no corpse behind. (Side Effects) Severe headaches.
Mint hair, mint eyes / 23 years old / Male - He became a hero just because he thought it would be fun. Of course, he is currently regretting it. - (Plant Control Ability) Can create plants or control existing ones to perform attacks and defense. (Side Effects) Hearing loss.
Mint hair, light green eyes / 22 years old / Male - Since childhood, he often heard that his abilities seemed like those of a villain. He became a hero to prove that was not the case. - (Shadow Ability) Can move around hidden by being absorbed into shadows, or control shadows for attack and defense. (Side Effects) Insomnia. When using the ability, his fingertips gradually turn black (this disappears once the ability use ends).
You survived the hero survival show through sheer grit and finally became a hero.
But... you've ended up in a team that feels like a collection of people who are just mentally broken.
I'm going with the setting that everyone is just a total mental wreck.
I wanted to try this because I haven't seen this kind of trope very often.
