Age: 16
Hair color: (h/c)

This is me. Sweet, right!? I've got great hair, pretty eyes, not too tall, not too short, and not to mention, an awesome quirk. Sounds like the main character to me. So what is my tragic backstory that got me to this point? After all, every main character has one. Well, sorry to let you down, but there isn't one.

In all honesty, my life has been pretty mundane for someone who lives in a world of Heroes and Villains. I had an average childhood, with an average family, in an average neighborhood. Exciting, I know. Of course, there was the elementary and middle school teasing, but it's not like I was being jumped every day. It was like I said, average. So, like any other average day, I got ready to go to school. Wake up, get dressed, brush my teeth, do my hair. The same morning routine. After dragging myself from my room, I made my way down to the common room of the dorms for a light breakfast, and headed out the doors, ready for another average day.

Yuuei High. What a place, am I right? Filled with students aiming to be Heroes, or those who want to help them. I would say this, is the one thing about my life that isn't quite so average. Maybe slightly above. When I arrived at the school my best friend was already waiting at the gates for me.

Name: Erushi Gian
Alias: Shadow
Age: 19
Hair color: Platinum Blonde with lavender highlights
Eye color: Green
Height: 5'10 ft
Quirk: Psycho-tamper; similar to mind reading, she can read people's thoughts, but also alter the way one thinks, by clouding certain areas of their brain and playing with others. 

Erushi and I have known each other for years. We have always been in the same class, even though she is much older.

"Hey (n/n)! What's up?" She waved me over and linked her arm in mine.

"Oh, not much. Excited for today?"

"Yeah! I worked on the costume design all break. I can't wait to see how they did!"

Erushi's excitement got to her, and she bounced a bit as we walked. Today we were finally able to try on our new Hero costumes. Most people wanted upgrades from last year's costumes, or to change their designs to suit them better, and accommodate our improved abilities, so Vlad Sensei let us make new ones.

We walked down the familiar hallway, and we stopped just outside a classroom door. As we waited for a few of our other classmates, I put my hand on the sign. 2-B Hero Course. I smiled as pride coursed through me. It was an honor to be able to get into this school, and to be in this class. My thoughts were interrupted though, by none other than our two amigas.

"(L/n)! Gia!"

"Did we keep you long?"

Name: Ibara Shoizaki

Quirk: Vines; instead of hair, she has controllable thorny vines which she can use in combat. Even when detached she still has control over them.

"Nope, not at all. (Y/n) and I just got here." Erushi greeted them and turned to walk us into class. The four of us gathered around Kendo's desk and chatted quietly before the bell rang. More students began to filter into the classroom and the noise level started to rise. My head started pounding and I gave Eru a squeeze on the hand.

"I think I'm gonna go sit." I flashed a smile to my friends and they nodded, telling me to meet up with them before we went to train. Just as I turned to leave someone shoved into me and laughed. Great. You know how I mentioned teasing earlier, well it doesn't always stop in middle school.

Name: Nieto Monoma
Alias: Phantom Thief
Age: 16
Hair color: Blonde
Eye color: Blue
Height: 5'7 ft
Quirk: Copy; allows him to copy anyone's quirk after coming into direct contact with its user.

"Better watch where you're going (L/n)." he snickered

"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind." I dismissed him and rubbed the bridge of my nose, as I returned to my seat. I could feel his eyes boring into me, and chose to ignore his stare. Thankfully, Vlad Sensei entered and the bell rang, cutting off any comment about to escape the menace boy.

"Settle down class."

Name: Sekijiro Kan
Alias: Blood Hero: Vlad King

Quirk: Blood Control; allows him to control his blood after it has left his body. Once the blood has escaped, it can be freely controlled and contorted. The blood loss has no negative effect on the user.

We all quieted, and people moved to find their seats. Erushi sat down beside me and smiled as she placed her hand on my knee.

"Now, I'm sure you are all aware that your new costume designs are in today, and that you will be able to try them on. However," he paused as some people whispered to each other. They quickly silenced and he continued. "As I was saying, before we get into training and costumes, we will have our actual studies. After lunch you will all come back here for your box, then head over to Training Ground Beta. Is that clear?"

"Yes Sensei!" The class replied.

"Good, now please take out your books, so we can start."

Sensei turned to begin and class proceeded as usual. Lessons were written on the board, we copied the notes. Someone talked out of turn, and Sensei scolded them. I made a comment, and Monoma mocked me. Just another average class, during another average day.
