mcyt bnha au! (pt. 1 sbi)
inspired by Freakshow - no seriously this entire au idea is inspired by it, check it out
to explain basic mechanics of this bnha au, hero school is like normal high school, with 4 years. hero internships start in 2nd year, and most successful heroes get their hero licenses in 3rd or 4th year. however, it normally takes multiple tries to pass (because of the high amounts of people who want to become heroes), so people start taking the exam since the minimum age of 16. so-called “prodigies” may pass first try, but passing at 17-18 is already impressive.
the school is pronounced “MC” but spelled “emmsii” - kind of like “UA/yuuei”
generally, i based rankings and such on au age (ex. if character is still in school, ill probably make the ranking a lot lower than originally) and tournament placements. however, a lot of pvp youtubers would be official heroes already in this au, and aren’t included in class rankings (obviously).
(sbi character sheets below cut)
techno
quirk: untouchable
desc: he's faster, he's stronger, he's smarter - and he's completely untouchable! the bounds of this quirk are fairly simple: if you try to get him, you will fail. should you come up against him, you are doomed to fail. however, it is not exempt from the effects of other quirks (ex. in extras).
age: 17 (year 3/4)
class placement: 1/28
extras:
-emmsii high school’s most currently successful student, though there’s hot competition for the spot
-rivals with dream, since dream’s quirk basically makes it even between the 2 quirk-wise
-got his hero license in 2nd year (lowest age possible, dang)
-everyone’s kind of intimidated by him, but he’s actually really funny
-gained most of his rep from being challenged by random students and villains, but also gained a lot of rep from helping train/tutor fellow students
-sometimes mistaken as the villain bc of his brand
wilbur
quirk: unanimous
desc: depending on his skill with a given instrument, playing a song for people to hear makes them more agreeable towards you on varying levels and degrees! this quirk has also evolved to incorporate voice in recent years, and more generally, makes people in hearing range match the user’s mood.
age: 18 (senior year)
class placement: 13/28
extras:
-found out about his quirk when he started learning guitar when he was 6 (has been carrying a guitar around since)
-very popular, as you can imagine
-actually originally wanted to be a singer, not a hero - what changed his mind?
-came from london rurals (hence the accent)
-transferred from a london hero school to emmsii in 2nd year
phil
quirk: the survivor
desc: user’s body takes less supplies to run - doesn’t need as much water, food, sleep, etc. in addition, he can also survive in harsher conditions compared to most other people
age: 22 (has been doing official hero work since 17)
hero placement: 12
extras:
-taught at emmsii for a year, hence how he knows the rest of sbi
-he and techno actually won a tournament together
-was supremely underrated for the first few years of his career
-extremely nice, and has been steadily climbing the leaderboards for the last year or so
-specializes in rescue-based disaster-zone hero work, so he’s saved a very large amount of people
tommy
quirk: influencer (i cant name quirks ok)
desc: voice has the ability to affect people’s state of mind - inspire confidence, plant unease, and cause happiness or discomfort. makes the user a bit prone to emotional outbursts, but with practice, can become much more controlled
age: 15 (freshman year)
class placement: 9/28
extras:
-has always wanted to be a hero, it’s basically his childhood dream
-quirk is a bit similar to wilbur’s; they worked together once (that’s how they met)
-despite people calling him annoying, he’s friends with a lot of people and generally really well-liked
-”screaming and swearing doesn’t make you funny tommy” they, said, laughing so hard that they couldn’t breathe
-very emotional and gets angry a lot, and it effects other people, so he gets in trouble quite a bit
