This is the main country the game will be taking place in, but as a side note, don’t feel obligated to make your character from Japan. Do you know how many people are tourists, exchange students, or on work visas? Some of the most famous heroes are in Japan, though, so why not get your start there?
UA is considered the most prestigious hero academy in Japan, warranting exchange students (Ages 15-18) and eyes from all over the world taking note of its longstanding history of producing top-tier heroes. Class 1-A in particular is often regarded as up and coming heroes, the group to keep your sights on, especially at the annual UA Sports Festival—the event that essentially replaced the Olympics!
UA has recently installed dormitories due to a string of villainous attacks to keep students protected on campus under the watchful eyes of the pros, but rumor has it there is a traitor in the midst…
But hey, UA! Why not enjoy what’s in front of you and leave the rest to the adults? Unless you are the adult… then get to work! What are you doing? Don’t you want to get paid?
Note: There are other schools and universities in general. Your character doesn't have to go to U.A.
No, this isn’t the USJ you might be thinking of. If you’re really into being a hero, though, this place is way better than the amusement park, anyway! USJ is the optimal training grounds for new and veteran heroes alike, recreating disaster zones and different conditions to give junior and senior heroes a chance to engage in an environment they might otherwise have little access to. After all, quirks are quite amazing. You never know what conditions you’ll come across in the field.
Located in the Kiyashi Ward, the mall is the perfect place to go spend some time with your friends or shop for that beach trip you’re gearing up for this summer. Food, arcades, clothes, gift shops and more—! It’s incredibly crowded here, however, so if you’re not a fan of crowds, or perhaps your quirk makes it a little inconvenient to be in crowded places, you may want to reconsider or take precautions. You never know who you’ll run into, after all.
These areas are typically less frantic and prone to crime than the lively cities, but that doesn’t stop homes from getting robbed and other nefarious deeds from taking place. You’ll mostly see children and families living in peace, or you’ll get those families that yell at each other every morning over menial things. No place like home!
The sights, the sounds, the food, the shopping, the incredible likelihood of witnessing a crime and a hero punching a villain into the sea—Downtown is quite the lively area! Businesses thrive here and skyscrapers glow with the blue skies and passing clouds over the city. Many hero agencies can be found in these areas, as crime is prevalent where people gather. It’s so easy to pick a pocket on a crowded train or snatch a purse and vanish in a crowd. Probably a little harder to kill a man, but why would you do something like that?
Japan takes pride in its convenience… at least in the cities. You can expect trains to be your best modes for transportation, otherwise buses and cars are going to be your primary methods. Some UA students had to travel two hours a day by train just to get to school. Up hills in the snow—both ways! Thank goodness for the dorms, right?
Or you can be that person that can run at high speeds and transport yourself more efficiently with teleportation or some nonsense. Lucky you!
