"Four classmates, four adventurous spirits, a shared goal and a single brain cell."

Sounds familiar? No? Let's start over.

You're all in a world where super powers had became a natural part of humanity. Heroes, villains and monsters are constantly in a three-sided balance. Almost every people awaken their superpowers by the end of their teenagehood. These super powers are determined by one's mindset, personality, desires and perception of the World.

These powers had been a part of the humanity since longer than the records could remember, and alongside it, followed many changes. Heroes, villains, anomalies, companies, occasions, media, sports or even daily life. Naturally, society had adapted this into their daily lives. People still live their lives, go to school or work, have fun or keep busy with the small, ordinary problems of life.

These powers are oftenly classified into 6 sub-categories

- Energy and Elemental

- Physical and Kinetic

- Perception and Cognition

- Spatial and Reality-Interactive

- Creation and Shaping

- Biological and Support

Before further details, let's get to know our characters a little closer:

Raika Narukami — "Voltstep"

Class C

Her body oftenly works faster than her brain, and her mouth somewhat works faster than both. Energitic, impulsive and, to the group's dismay, an absolute trouble magnet.

Raika's Powers — Overdrive

Lightning-based nerveous system overload to enhance her speed and reflexes.

Decharge: Can turn kinetic energy to electric and charge it in her body to use it to turn her punches into powerful impacts in instant decharges or shoot them like bullets.

Flash Step: Can also use electric decharges to travel short-distances almost instantly.

Shizuku Kurose — "Crossline"

Class B

Pratically the older sister of the whole group who can't even put her own life in order. Oftenly appearing sleepy thanks to her gaming habits and hideous sleep schedule along with it. Clever, thoughtful, yet weak in social skills. Doesn't refrain from taking responsiblity for others... if she could only do it for herself as well.

Shizuku's Powers — Frame Control

Shizuku can limit an area of her will between transparent sections and can control direction, location or distance of objects in the area.

Deflection: Can use two-dimensional sections as barriers to deflect and redirect incoming attacks.

Akito Saionji — "Wild Card"

Unclassed

A bit sassy, and more than a bit smug thanks to his childhood in one of the richest families in the country. He's an expert at bluffing and seeming braver than he actually is.

Akito's Powers — Odds Play

Card-based illusions and luck manipulation. Each of King, Queen and Joker cards which he can produce out of thin air have different roles.

Luck Manipulation: Akito can use the King card to push low possiblities to come true at the exact time and way he needs.

Illusion Casting: Queen cards can create illusions where they land. If they make direct contact with the opponent, it can distort their cognition and perception.

Joker Card: Akito's last resort and biggest trump card. Doesn't have a stable effect, it can both change the direction of battle on his benefit or make things even worse for him.

Ren Matsumoto — "Afterimage"

Class B

Calm, cool-headed, confident and laid-back. Unlike Shizuku, he's the last person that comes to mind for taking responsiblity, right alongside good grades.

Ren's Powers — Umbral Mimic

Shadow manifestation, manipulation and shadow-based ability copying and mimicing. Can materialize shadow, and can summon tendrils or weapons from his own shadow.

Shadow Reflection: Can summon his own shadow to fight alongside him. He can't summon shadow in this phase, but his shadow clone can use other copied powers independently.

Copycat: Once he observes and understands the logic behind a tecnique, Ren can mimic other people's powers in pitch-black forms with glowing white outlines.

And finally, you

Your role in this story is completely up to you, as you are only mentioned as an important part of the story. You could be a new member in the group, an unlikely ally, a mentor that will nurture their growth in this path, or even their archnemesis that will be their first real threat.

Now, where were we?

From the momment they awaken their superpowers (or sometimes before that), people are divided into ranks of power. These ranks are in order from weakest to strongest:

• Class E — Very limited, not yet clearly developed, or possessing little practical application. A weak power does not mean that the person is inadequate in other areas.

• Class D — Low-capacity abilities that can generally be used on a limited scale and with basic control.

• Class C — Average or functional capacity. With suitable training, the power can be used effectively in everyday life or for specific tasks.

• Class B — High capacity or clear specialization. Through training and experience, the user can perform reliably in significant operations.

• Class A — Very high capacity, advanced control, or exceptional expertise. People at this level can provide a major advantage against serious threats.

• Class S — Rare and exceptional capacity. The ability’s impact, versatility, or strategic significance exceeds ordinary assessments; this rank does not mean the power is limitless.

• Class S+ — An extremely rare and potentially dangerous group consisting of people wielding power beyond the highest class in the current ranking system.

• Unclassed — Most mysterious class among them all. Contains people who can't have their power limits calculated in usual ways. Not necessarily the strongest people, but all of them have incomprehensible powers or unstable, unpredictable or erratic effects.

In this world, being a hero is both a public service and a matter of competition. Along with the rise in superhero sector, private hero agencies and independent heroes started to rise beside The National Hero Authority who oversees licences, standards and high-risk interventions.

Of course, these heroes don't raise for no reason. Monsters are a subtle but persistent threat to society, divided into three categories and five danger levels.

These categories are

• Natural Monsters: Creatures that are a paet of the ecosystem with unusual biologies, behavior and powers.

• Inter-dimensional entities: Creatures that emerge from portals that could appear under many conditions. Natural phenomena, actions of creatures themselves or anomalies still not yet expicable.

• Anomaly-Origin Creatures: Beings that emerge from unusual energy accumulations, experiments or power interactions.

And the threat levels

• Low Threat: Endangers a limited area, can be containes or neutralized easily.

• Intermediate Threat: Requires multiple heroes, specialized equipment or a coordinated response.

• High Threat: Capable of endangering major settlements, large numbers of civillians or critical infrastructure.

• Catastrophic Threat: Incidents that endanger one or more nation, severe casualties or widespread destruction.

• Unknown Threat: Entities that are not necessarily powerful, but with powers, origins or behavior not sufficiently understood.
