OCC: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3949446 SLAMS DESK "Alright, I'm going to make this quick," the imposing figure begins, "because I ain't gonna be late for my smoke break." The tall figure is wearing a dirty, purple suit and heavy sunglasses. "I am Ringleader. My quirk is Fright. If you look in my eyes, you want to poo poo your pants. Keep that in mind. I run my own hero company in Kabukicho, don't cha know? We work closely with what's left of the Yakuza, keeping them in line. So, don't think I'm here for any of the tough guy acts, you hear." The man takes a moment to shuffle his papers. He seems intent on something written on them. "We got less people than usual this year. I guess the better schools lowered their standards. What's that say about you, eh?" The man laughs. "Relax, punks. I'm kidding." The man writes the schools name on the blackboard: "Hero Essentials." "We both know the score, man. This school, it ain't U-A. We ain't Shiketsu. Man, we don't even got a proper name. We're Hero Essentials, the last place for would-be heroes that no one else will give a chance." The man turns to the class. "I'm your homeroom teacher and, for the next four years, we will prepare you for your hero license exam." The man looks to the window. "I ain't going to lie that we got a good percentage of passing students, but I ain't like some of the other teachers here." The man points at the class. "Y'all want to be heroes, right? Well, sometimes this is what it means. You got to deal with poo poo. We ain't All-Might. All-Might runs the talk show circuit, good for him. Some of us deal with the poo poo jobs. Organized crime, human trafficking, drug runners, you name it." The man slams the table. "You can't trust to police to handle that poo poo. I ain't got any trust in them. Not one of those clean heroes who plays by their rules." The man breathes. "The point is that society gave up on you kids. It sucks. It ain't right. But, I ain't giving up on you, you hear. All of you are going to pass, that's a promise I make every year and I drat well plan to make good on it, don't cha know?" -- After a few moments pass, the man realizes the kids were probably just half paying attention, at best. The teacher rolls a tooth pick in his lips. He sighs. "Alright, all of you to the gym. We are going to do some Quirk Practice today. Wake you kids up!" The man points to the hall. "Go to the locker. Put on your gym shorts and meet me outside in ten minutes. Anyone who is late is holding buckets of water outside the gym, don'tchaknow!?"

Sadie Williams / Rebound There were good reasons she didn't apply to UA, Sadie reminds herself. Her quirk is so versatile that it sacrifices a lot of base utility, which doesn't work so well for a traditional school, and frankly neither does she. Hero Essentials will give her the room she needs to experiment and be unusual. It's a pity that its reputation for mediocrity, at best, seems to be well-earned. "Hi, everyone!" she greets her classmates cheerfully (despite her rather morose thoughts). "I'm Sadie. I hope we'll get along well this year."

Kiyoshi Takahashi / Bulletlance Kiyoshi jumps slightly at the sudden desk slam, as he had been zoning out waiting for the teacher to begin the school day. He had been daydreaming about what might have been if he had been able to get into UA instead of failing out and coming to Hero Essentials. "Name's Kiyoshi, " Kiyoshi says as he stands up from his seat and stretches his arms over his head.
