OCCUPATIONS
- Students
- Hero Class—
- Maybe you’ve had a pro that you’ve looked up to all your life. Maybe you want to do things for the greater good. Maybe you like being in the limelight or wish to earn a better living. Whatever your motivations, studying to become a hero is the way to go for you! As a student under the heroics program, you will be put under intense training to prepare you for a life of crime-fighting. You’ll be taught to improve the use of your quirks, how to compensate for your weaknesses, how to work alone and how to work with a team, but most importantly...you will be given the proper education needed to be a successful adult! Sorry kiddos, you’ve still gotta learn your maths and English.
- Support Class—
- You may not be the flashy one, but you do like to make a hero shine. As a support student you will be taught how to make or even invent your own gear that will assist heroes in controlling and maximizing their quirks. You will also be taught how to make their costumes. Every hero needs a costume! Just don’t get any weird ideas…
- Business Class—
- What? You think those heroes out there manage themselves? To be a real pro, quirks and skills need to be sold, and the business class learns how to do just that. A hero’s agency will never get to field any calls without a manager to promote their abilities and instill confidence into the state and communities, bringing them into the limelight where they otherwise might fall short. If you heroes want to earn those state dollars, learn to work with the business class.
- General Education—
- Sometimes you just don't qualify for any specific classes, but for the most part you're meeting UA standards so in you go. But fret not if you were gunning for the others! All you have to do is prove yourself, usually at the sports festival, to have your department reconsidered.
- Hero Class—
- Being a staff member doesn’t mean you’ll be behind a desk and in front of a board all day, don’t you worry. A lot of the staff of U.A are still active out in the field! If you have a knack for training up and coming heroes though, then you’ll be a great addition to the school! You’ll be training the students on combat, rescue, and other heroism skills and techniques. You will also be teaching regular classes as well! It is still a school, after all. Just make sure you plug your ears when walking by the English class. The teacher can be pretty, erm, loud.
- You’ve graduated with a degree in heroism and have the license to kick ass! You either have your own agency or are part of one to help manage and promote your work. The cool thing about being a pro-hero, aside from being a hero, of course, is that there’s a variety of ways for you to save the day!
- Crime Fighters—
- You like to take the on the bad guys, ranging from purse snatchers to giants terrorizing the city, bringing justice with your fist! Or foot. Or tail. Or what have you. Just remember your agency will be charged for property damages so do your best!
- Natural Disaster Responder—
- Floods, forest fires, earthquakes and storms; someone’s gotta save people from mother nature’s wrath and your quirks are just right for the job! You’re likely going to be first on the scene, so remember people are counting on you!
- Search & Rescue—
- Your specialty may lie in a different kind of crisis or the aftermath of a disaster, finding those left beneath the debris and getting them out. When it comes to kidnapped children or helping a family out of a burning car, you’re the one they call! Consider yourself the second responder to the NDR team.
- Support—
- Keeping bystanders safe during an attack, dealing with fires or other dangers to the public during an incident—while this may sound more like background work, someone’s got to keep onlookers safe from falling building parts or cars being tossed during a hero-villain battle. You’d be surprised by how many civilians put themselves in harm’s way to get that selfie. Combat-type heroes can’t save everyone, but they can relax knowing they have fellow heroes to take care of the injured civilians and getting the rest of them to safety. Police officers often fall into this category, too.
- Sidekick—
- You’ve already gone through the academy, but you’re not quite there yet when it comes to experience and popularity. Working as a sidekick to a seasoned pro-hero will help get your name out there and give you the experience you need before you’re ready to stand on your own.
- Manager—
- Heroes depend on their popularity to be successful, and while they may be great at the heroics, they still need help with managing their work and their social media. You are the ones heroes rely on to help show the world that they are a hero to call upon when they need it. If they’re popular enough and have numerous gigs, someone needs to fix up their schedules while their busy saving the day.
- While criticized and made fun of by the public, heroes recognize the importance of the police and appreciate their expertise when it comes to investigating. Heroes need all the help they can get, and while their quirks may be great at fighting criminals, the police have the skill set needed to solve a crime and handle the paperwork needed to book them. They’re also there to protect the civilians alongside other support heroes, especially during a hero-villain fight on the streets.
- Not everyone can get into UA or one of those expensive hero academies, you know. Certification exams are incredibly hard, or maybe you just suffer from extreme test anxiety, but you know where and when to be to stop a criminal in their path, no paper and pencil required. Perhaps you fall into the slim category of standing strong without a quirk, fearless in the face of power, but no matter which way you scratch it, you’re breaking the law. But for the greater good!! Really. It’s not like you’re getting paid for it...
- Why use your powers to help people when you can help yourselves? Why limit yourself to what society tells you you should do with your powers when you’re capable of so much more? Feel like rebelling against the rules and knocking those snobby heroes down a peg or two? Then maybe the villain route is the way to go.
- Petty Criminals—
- You like to get in trouble but not THAT much trouble. Maybe pick a pocket or two or snatch a purse and run for the hills, but you gotta do what you gotta do during these hard times. Maybe you’ve never been caught before or you’re just not very good at getting away, but expect a hero to be on your tail in any case.
- Organizations/Alliances—
- You’ve heard rumors bubbling on the surface that an underground organization is rather tired of heroes spewing their sense of justice around when they resort to the same levels of violence as the criminals they face. Who are they to act so holier-than-thou when they run this altruistic show while getting paid for it? Who the Hell do they think they are?
- Arch Nemesis—
- You might be the source of a general amount of illegal activity, but your main goal is to draw out the hero you want to defeat the most and show them what they’re actually good for. Everyone else is a flea on the back of the top dog you want to take out—but you might also want to be sure you’re capable of taking on the hero you’re geared to destroy. Self-declarations of this title might warrant a laugh if you’re just being all bark and no bite.
- Students—
- No matter what way you look at it, being a hero feels less and less like an act of altruism and more like a method to line your wallet on the backs of troubled civilians. You’ve even overheard other students say they’re in it for the cash, the fame… But even so, perhaps you’ve always had that dark streak to you, and are getting rather tired of putting on a mask. What are you doing here again…?
