JayBird Joe

Name: Tyler Bolt
Nickname (optional): Ty
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Nationality: American
Dorm: Gold
Appearance: Tyler’s hair is a scruffy blond color that seems to change when in certain brightnesses. In the sun, people have said it looked almost white. He has piercing blue eyes that stand out the most about him, and had a strong muscular build. His hair comes down to the back of his neck, while the front tends to get messed up each time he turns. He stands at about 6’0”.
Outfit (civilian clothes): Tyler doesn’t seem to care about fashion at all. His normal everyday clothes consist of a short sleeve T-Shirt covered up by his favorite sweatshirt; a black hoodie with his favorite bands logo, The Demon Slayers. Ty normally has blue jeans, and tends to hate the school uniform. His shoes are just normal gym shoes. Tyler also has a pair of high tech wireless headphones that he uses all the time, and it’s quite rare to see him with out them.
Costume (hero garb): Ty doesn’t have a hero outfit. He doesn’t see the point of hiding your identity of people are going to hunt you down for it.

Power(s) Enhances strength, and uncontrollable fire powers.
Explanation: Ty seems to have super strength like powers. He claims the most he’s raised was 2 tons, and he was wiped after ward. He’s mastered martial arts and has studied it his whole entire life, making him a force to be reckoned with; especially with his super strength. He can be pretty fast and nimble despite his size and build, and exercises regularly to improve on his skills.
Tyler also has uncontrollable fire powers. Not like making fire balls or anything, but setting himself on fire. This fire is so hot that it cannot be extinguished, and runs for a full hour without stopping. The radius of this inferno reaches to about a yard around him, and a foot above his height. The down side of this power is that he cannot turn it off. Once he is one fire, you can’t stop it. The fire is triggered by anger and frustration of his emotions. If he gets to angry, fire. If he gets to frustrated, fire. Music calms him though, this wearing f headphones all the time to he can prevent any such thing to happen.
Weakness/setback: His weaknesses are that he cannot stop his fire, and doesn’t seem to want to fight anyone, or use his powers in the first place. But because of his powerful flames, he was placed in gold. Another one of his weaknesses is that he can leave blind spots when fighting hand to hand combat; something that he is currently working on.
Extra information: He has a very happy personality, makes jokes all the time and seems like a nice funny guy despite his dangerous powers. He limits himself to friends.
Backstory: Tyler knew that he had powers from the start, however, he didn’t discover his fire powers until he accidentally went off and burned his parents house to the ground when he was 11.
His dad died in that fire, but his mother made it out. The last friend he ever had died at his hands due to another inferno.
The reason Ty was sent to the school in the first place was to get him away from everything else. Also to controls his powers. That’s the reason Ty hates his fire powers. It’s because he killed two of his most loved people he knew. That’s his biggest weakness. All of his clothes had to be personally made with fire resistant powers so he doesn’t burn off his clothes. If you mention family and you question him about his, you’ll certainly see a change in MOOD.

I’m not quite sure that Ty is really suited for Gold, instead I would place him as a high silver.

Hold up, I’ll make him a bit more suitable for Gold. He could be the weaker of the three that are currently in Gold.
It came to mind that if he did go off, the people with better powers could defend themselves against the fire better than a Silver or a Bronze would have.

Edit: Looking back on the other Golds, I understand why you found him unsuitable. I made his physical martial arts a great deal better. He would main his melee moves, and the fire be a disastrous backside to his character. Hope you found him better.

Name: Adrian Tai

Age:17
Gender: Male
Nationality: African American
Dorm: Bronze
Appearance: Adrian stands at 6'0 with a well rounded muscular build. he has completely clean-shaven face with very short hair, his eyes are dark black and slightly larger than normal.
Outfit (civilian clothes): Adrian is always seen in jackets or hoodies, in the summer they just might be thin jackets. he likes to wear jewelry such as two bright gold earrings and a silver ring with his initials etched around them. he tends to have baggy cargo pants or jeans with extra pockets and is a socks with sandals type of guy. he keeps his nails painted black.
Costume (hero garb): the only difference between his hero garb and regular clothes is he might have a hoodie with a facemask of a skull. Also, he carries large headphones set on max volume.

Power(s) Shockwave control
Explanation: Adrian cam absorb shockwaves around them and store them into his body. These are usually either sound or blunt trauma. because of this, he is highly resistant to regular hits as the force is calmly absorbed. he can then release said shock through by creating sound or applying force himself. his storing is constant so the air around him gets quieter the closer it is to his body. this makes music set at max volume inaudible if right next to him.
Weakness/setback: While almost immune to blunt force, any type of puncturing or slash can easily damage him. Also, he cannot create shockwaves from nothing, were he to run out, he would have to find some way to recharge.
Extra information: He tends to spend most of his days listening to extremely loud tunes as a way of "recharging"

Backstory: Adrian lived a boring life with a boring family. his family was known for absolutely and contributed little to the world. His parents were always working simple jobs just enough to support him. Adrian was fascinated with the world of heroes, how they would obtain glamour, money and most of all adoration. He wanted to stand out like the famous heroes of the world. What started out as simple grabs like trying to make his own book or song always flopped, deemed uninteresting or requiring too much of what he didn't have. Eventually, his new attempts became more delinquent, He began stealing, petty vandalism like graffiti, and occasional bullying. yet there were times when he tried to look heroic, like placing someone in danger just to later "save" them. After a bit of persuasion, he managed to get his parents to send him off to a school that promised to better him. It is still unclear whether Adrian wants to actually be a hero, but he certainly won't have his school years going unheard.

Backstory: A simple guy with an uninteresting family. While his parents run middle-end jobs Adrian was somewhat a delinquent. Whether or not he wants to become a hero is questionable, but he definitely wants to make a name for himself.

I know I said a brief backstory but I’m really going to need more than this

Ok everyone the RP thread is now live

https://pokecharms.com/threads/hero-high-semester-1.21988/

just for clarity for everyone

Hero High is actually a really small school
There’s only 90-100 students enrolled at a time. Broken into Tiers as follows
15-20 Gold
30-35 Silver
45-50 Bronze
The reason behind these numbers is that each higher tier generally require more one on one time and private tutoring.
It also means that in order for a student to move up a tier their needs to be an open space for them to move up. So if anyone would like to have your character ‘stuck’ in their tier you can.


In regards to the initial story arc/plan for the posts, there will be a short period of everyone mingling outside before they board the transport. More mingling onboard. Then the opening assembly which will require Formal Uniform (feel free to have your character complain about the uniform) and the first few classes/tests then we can discuss which story arc we want to pursue.

unless I specifically say that your character needs their formal uniform they only have to wear their school jacket and carry their ID card.

if there are any other questions or suggestions just let me know

Name: Alister Bishop
Nickname (optional): None yet
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Nationality: American
Dorm: Bronze(But could have been silver because of his training)
Appearance: Alister is about 6’5 with a fairly athletic build medium length black hair that covers part of his face and pale skin
Outfit (civilian clothes): Under his uniform, Alister wears a variety of T-shirts and navy blue jeans on special occasions but usually he wears gray jogging pants
Costume (hero garb): Though he does not have an actual hero uniform what he does wear is black camouflage shirt and pants with a tactical vest over the shirt with various supplies including combat knives

Power(s) Reactive adaptation
Explanation: Alister's power allows him to change his biology as a reaction for example if caught in a burning building his body will become resistant to burns and his lungs able to breathe in the smoke
Weakness/setback: Firstly it's not really controllable he can accelerate the changes but can't choose exactly what the changes are. Secondly, it is entirely reactive so unless he is in a situation that would require a change nothing will happen. Thirdly it doesn't make him invincible it can be a very defensive power but can make him resist things not make him completely immune to them
Extra information: More minute transformations are more common than major transformations like extra limbs

Backstory: Alister’s parents are high ranking military officials so he always lived a strictly regimented life and when he gained his power he started training to be a military weapon a soldier that can endure almost anything so after a while, he saw less and less of his parents and more of government officials and so after years of training he was finally able to convince the higher-ups to let him go to hero high to get extra training specialized for people with powers though really what he wanted is to get away from the compound for the first time in years

I really like it, so much so I would actually suggest Alister be placed in Silver. So feel free to add to his powers a little, that being said I think extra limbs would be going a little too far, with the exception of gaining wings. Feel free to have Alister gain some control of more general adaptions ie. General durability

Also everyone just for some continuity

Gold students are required to wear Formal uniform right now

Silver students are suggested to wear Formal uniform but you do not have to

Bronze students can wear anything they want but I would suggest standard uniform just for a bit of visual distinction/variety

@Sentorus67 small problem with your first post. Regardless of tier all students are wearing a uniform with their grade tier visible on it. But you can just edit it to something along the lines of being the only Bronze with the courage to approach the Gold students

Hey @IDKWhatUserNameToDo, since we have our chars seeing each other as familiar, do you think there'd be a class where they remember one another? Idk what they'd do to remember one another be it simple math partners or a memorable moment that caught each other's awareness.

Not really sure, but this line:

he was more than happy with his rank at Silver... but always made sure there was no chance he'd return to Bronze.

Just made me think that Leon might have been embarrassed if he had been acknowledged as a previous Bronze tier student or something. Not really sure, but the line; "Some consisted of Bronze students who either complained about their rank or tried to fit in" before that just made that impression on me.

Regards to why they'd remember each other could have a million reasons why. Both of them were bronze tier students in their first year, so they might have seen each other at the dorms a lot, while practicing their powers or something. Idk, Those are just some random suggestion
