About

This world is a modern society where superhuman abilities known as Quirks are a normal part of everyday life. Around 80% of the population has a Quirk, ranging from enhanced physical abilities and elemental powers to unusual biological traits. Quirks are generally inherited genetically and can affect both a person’s abilities and appearance. Because Quirks are so common, society has been built around them. Laws, technology, education, careers, and public infrastructure have all adapted to the existence of superpowers. People without Quirks are a minority, while those with unusual appearances due to their abilities are generally accepted, though discrimination still exists. Quirks also led to a new form of crime. People who use their abilities to harm others or commit crimes are known as **Villains**. To protect the public, society established professional **Pro Heroes**—licensed individuals trained to stop Villains, rescue civilians, respond to disasters, and maintain public safety. Hero work is heavily regulated. A person cannot legally use their Quirk however they want in public, and becoming a Pro Hero requires proper education, training, and licensing. Heroes can work for agencies, operate independently, and employ sidekicks or support staff. Heroism has also become a major part of popular culture. Successful Heroes can become celebrities, receive public rankings, advertise products, and build large followings. Because of this, hero society exists somewhere between law enforcement, emergency services, and celebrity culture. **Hero schools** train students for professional Hero careers. Their education includes Quirk control, combat, rescue work, physical training, law, ethics, and practical exercises. Students learn how to use their abilities effectively while minimizing danger to themselves and civilians. Quirks have different strengths and limitations. Some require physical stamina, specific conditions, or careful control, while others can cause injury or exhaustion when overused. Having a powerful Quirk does not automatically make someone a good Hero; learning how to properly control and apply an ability is just as important. Technology has evolved alongside Quirks as well. **Support items** are specialized equipment designed to help Heroes use their abilities more effectively and safely. Costumes, protective gear, weapons, mobility equipment, and other specialized tools can all be developed around a Hero’s needs. Most people with Quirks are simply civilians living ordinary lives. Not everyone becomes a Hero or Villain, and Quirks are commonly incorporated into everyday jobs and activities.
