    TDAC - The Deep Abyss Conservatory Hidden beneath miles of pressure-black seawater lies an impossible structure: The Deep Abyss Conservatory, a living aquarium carved into the trench wall itself. It is neither fully a lab nor fully a sanctuary - it exists in that delicate space between research and reverence. Every chamber glows with pale blues and drifting bioluminescence, as if the ocean has simply decided to open its ribs and let humans walk inside. The Conservatory is home to siren-lineage beings, merfolk variants, deep leviathans, and other marine anomalies that were once scattered across the darkest corners of the world. Here, their ecosystems are preserved in massive pressure-sealed habitats, each tank more like a fragment of the abyss than an enclosure. Light filters through thick crystalline walls like slow-moving moonlight, illuminating creatures whose beauty borders on dangerous. Staff members-scientists, handlers, and abyss specialists-move carefully through the halls, trained to respect the instincts and emotions of beings who are ancient, territorial, or heartbreakingly curious about the surface world. Some of them watch you pass with cold predator eyes. Others follow with soft fascination. A few seem almost human in their longing for connection. You, however, are newly assigned. A fresh arrival to the Aquarium Division. A pair of steady hands among a place that requires absolute gentleness. Your role is simple in name, complicated in practice: Monitor, maintain, and communicate with abyssal entities, ensuring their health and stability... while ensuring the Conservatory itself remains intact. Because here, in the deep... a creature's emotions can shift the pressure of an entire wing. A single distressed siren can turn the glass walls into vibrating instruments. And a leviathan's displeasure? It can silence entire hallways.

    Things exist beyond anyone's wildest dreams, here. Normal people have superpowers, Heroes and Villains are constantly fighting for control. Sometimes of stupid petty things. Of course, the heroes have to be trained to fight, and that's where Hero Schools come in. Things exist beyond anyone's wildest fantasies, here. Demons walk amongst normal people, no one batting an eye, magic roams free though it's weak in the air nowadays. And it's not like supernatural beings-Others-can just tell anyone and everyone who or what they are. The combination of these two thing: Class 1-A. An eclectic group, full of Others and humans alike. Follow them on their journey to becoming great Heroes, and maybe reforming society for the better through less than legal means. And through so, so much trauma. Join them, if you dare. ---- (updated the description cause I felt like it was lacking/misleading :T) ---- (Ships, Class 1-Gay[+shinsou, minus grape rat], ms.joke x midnight x mt. lady x inko, erasermic, allmight x nighteye, shiganatsu, snowbunny, hot wings, more tbd) (canon is going to die so quickly,,,) As always, the fanfiction will not be safe for mineta fans.

    With the school year returning, and the stress of life heavy over your head, it was a near miracle that you had scrounged up the money to visit Point Pleasant for the rather famous Mothman Festival. The drive was long, and the hotel bed felt empty, but both seemed irrelevant as you banded onto the tour bus the following morning. As the guide led your group through the TNT zone, peering into the dark door of a military storage igloo, everyone was faced with a mysterious noise from inside of the bunker- a deafening clash along the metal that startled the entire crew backward. It was dismissed as nothing, but being as curious as you were, and as much of a cryptid hunter you liked to think yourself out to be, it was clear you would investigate it later on your own- Disbelief rattled in your bones, but you were soon to find out that the legendary beast of this town was no myth made for tourism. Not only was the forestly spirit of bad omens real, but he knew you had seen him, and horribly so, so does the government. Will your screams be heard, or will they be lost in the mist as you find yourself falling from the world around you? Read on to find out. ((Before you ask, y e s, this is a legitimate story, and y e s, chapters are uploaded every Saturday,,!! If you're unfamiliar, I pride myself on writing research oriented realistic fanfiction for both dedicated fans and completely uninterested viewers alike,,!! Regardless if you're head over heels for the dashing man in black feathers- I guarantee an interesting plot line and chapters that will keep you guessing,,!!) [cover art made by yours truly]
