Hola.
-Chapter 0 - Prologue-
"Kami?"
"Yes, dearest brother?"
"Mom and Dad have been saying some mean things about me again.."
"I'm sure they don't mean what they say, dearest brother, They've just been very stressed out."
"Are you sure? When the doctor said that I didn't have a Quirk, Dad got really mad.. I hope he doesn't hate me."
"He doesn't, he's just overwhelmed, that's all, you've done nothing wrong, dearest brother."
"Kami? Mom said that I'm a failure, a lost cause… does she hate me?"
"No, dearest brother, her emotions have been getting the better of her, she doesn't actually hate you."
"...Kami?"
"Yes, dearest brother?"
"You don't have to lie for me. I know why they hate me… It's because I have no Quirk, isn't it?"
"They don't hate you, dearest brother. Please don't say such things."
"Yes, they do, Kami.. they've hated me for a long time, I've heard Mom say that that she regrets having me. But, it's okay! At least I have you, Kami-chan! You don't hate me, right?"
"...No, dearest brother. I love you… I'll always love you, whether you have a Quirk or not, it doesn't matter to me. You're my family.."
"...I love you, big sister. Can you do something for me?"
"Whatever you need, dearest brother."
"...Can I sleep with you tonight? My dreams are very mean to me when I'm sleeping by myself, and Mom and Dad are arguing over me."
'...Of course, dearest brother.'
Cold. Barren. Lifeless. Those were the only three words to describe the room that Kaminaga sat idly in, her head facing in no particular direction. As she sat in the middle of the room, directly after making sure that everything was preserved, Kaminaga let her gaze wander across the large space. Truth be told, the room was once livelier than it was now, it was inhabited by a small bundle of joy that once brought her immense happiness. Sadly, that bundle was no longer a part of the room.
The paint on the walls had an alabaster color, though it seemed to peel off on some portions of the surface. All of the toys and plushies that once laid scattered across the floors were nothing but a mere memory.
'Siao… I miss you so much'
As repressed memories began to bubble up within Kaminaga's conscience, she fell backwards onto a cold, empty bed that laid not too far from the center of the spacious interior. It had been such a long time since she'd last seen him. His cutesy facial expressions, chirpy voice, and his exhilarating personality. Kaminaga's eyes watered lightly, her long, white hair falling over her face, hiding her blue eyes in their bloodshot state. She'd promised herself that she would stop crying, that she'd remain strong for him. Unfortunately, this was easier said than done.
Shaking, Kaminaga raised her pale hands directly to her mouth in order to muffle her whimpers of immense sadness, not wanting any of the housekeepers to see or hear her in such a depressing state. After all, her parents had always stressed the importance of maintaining a composed image, no matter the circumstances. Never, even for a split-second, show any signs of vulnerability.
KNOCK-KNOCK
Kaminaga let out a noisy gasp and snapped her head into the opposite direction, severely startled by the abrupt sound of someone knocking on the door of the room. Quickly, she wiped the fallen tears from her eyes by using the tail-end of her shirt and proceeded to stand up and walk towards the door. Kaminaga swiftly opened the door to reveal one of the many butlers that tended to the massive home owned by her parents.
"Um… is everything okay, can I come in? I-I was assigned to take care of this room in p-particular.." The man seemed rather young, and his overly nervous behavior indicated that he was employed just recently. Kaminaga stared at the perturbed male with a somewhat deadpan expression and exhaled.
"Yeah… everything is fine. Please, come in, I'll just leave the room for you. Though, I've already done a good majority of the cleaning.." Kaminaga stepped through the threshold and continued to walk down the hallway to her next location, hoping to find at least one place where she could daydream in peace.
The housekeeper watched as the white-haired teenager moved further and further away from his vision. Sighing, he made his way into the room and closed the door behind him. 'Poor gal..'
Kaminaga made her way down the narrow hallway, her steps marching in a rhythmic tune. She kept her head down, refusing to let anyone see into her sunken eyes. 'Don't show weakness… never show weakness…' Her nails dug deeply into the palm of her hands, dangerously close to drawing blood.
This wasn't the first time she'd came close to imploding, there were several times where she had wanted to destroy everything in her path. She was tired of always holding in her emotions. Every day, Kaminaga felt like she was getting closer and closer to her breaking point. She was physically and emotionally tired.
As she came to the end of the hallway, Kaminaga quickly slipped into one of the many bathrooms that were built into the large home. After locking the door behind her, she placed her hands on the bathroom sink, rapidly letting out pants of exhaustion. Kaminaga looked into the mirror; her hair was tangled in knots, a drastic downgrade from its usual wavy and majestic form. Her face was drenched in sweat, and her eyes… were as red as fire.
'I'm a fucking mess… goddamn it. I wish Siao were still here… he'd be able to calm me down…'
But, he wasn't here…
He had left a long time…
And, to this day, Kaminaga still couldn't learn to move forward.
'I'm so fucking weak… I'm sorry, Siao. I wish I could've seen the signs earlier… don't worry. I'll keep my promise to you… no matter what it takes.'
As Kaminaga continued to learn over the counter, she felt a fire light up within her body, gradually feeling her with determination. Finally, the teenager stood up straight, letting her hands fall from the countertop to her sides. Her head slowly lifted to look back into the mirror, repressed fury sitting deep within her sky-blue eyes.
'I will keep my promise to you, Siao… nobody will stop me… not even Mom and Dad.'
Okay, I guess I should introduce myself now~ If it wasn't obvious enough, my name is heartattak, but all of you can refer to me as either Hearts or HK! Is this my first rodeo? Noooo, but I've been out of this game for so long, It might as well be. That being said, thank you for taking the time to check out my story! I'm sooo excited to get things started with you all! It's going to be a blast, and I can't wait to see all of the amazing OCs you guys (hopefully) send my way! And, I promise to make the most out of every accepted character! Nobody gets left behind! Everyone will have their shining moments! Also, I'd like to show my appreciation to Insanity's Jewel for being such a wonderful friend and encouraging me to move forward with creating this story~ This would not be happening right now if it wasn't for him!
Now, before I get into the rules, I wanna give you all a brief summary of the school… Meiyo Academy. Firstly, this school specializes in creating underground heroes for confidential operations and missions that take place out of the vision of both the media and general public! Secondly, while it's amongst some of the best hero schools in Japan, Meiyo Academy isn't on any of the academy listings. This is due to the fact that Meiyo Academy is purposefully kept a secret by government officials and other pro heroes in order to maintain it's undisclosed status. Interestingly enough, this school only functions during the night as well… If you're going to attend, you'd better be one hell of a night owl (I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT HERO EXERCISES ARE ONLY DONE AT NIGHT! NORMAL SUBJECTS ARE LEARNED DURING THE DAY! IT'D BE WEIRD FOR TEENAGERS TO NOT BE IN SCHOOL DURING DAYLIGHT XD). As for the total number of students accepted into a class, the maximum amount is 16, nothing more. Lastly, every student and staff member must sign an important contract stating that they will NOT, under any circumstances, inform anyone of the school's existence, nor the activities that take place within the academy… there will be consequences. Also, It should be noted that this story takes place 20 years after Deku and the gang have graduated from UA!
At Meiyo, hero course students go through the usual exercises performed at other hero schools. Combat, rescue, all of that good stuff, but there are quite a few differences as well~ Interrogation exercises, stealth training, survival tactics, and strategic thinking play a HUGE role within this school. Aggressive antics and gung-ho personalities are usually frowned upon within this school (this doesn't mean that you can't send in characters who are loud, abrasive, and impulsive… it's just something to think about).
If you're wondering how others are even able to find out about Meiyo Academy, there are flyers hidden throughout Kanazawa, which is the main setting of our story. These flyers give out very vague details on a meeting point that's basically a choosing ground to pick out the ones who are best suited for the Academy! Those who don't fit the mold of what the school is looking for will be removed from the meeting with no memory of anything that was discussed… more on that in the next chapter.
I think this is a decent amount of information for the time being! Now… time for the rules.
Rules
1- No Gary Stus or Mary Sues… I think you guys should be pretty familiar with this one. Also, where is the fun in creating a character that's perfect from the very beginning? I don't get it…
2- Make sure that if I accept your character, you review as much as possible! I'm not expecting you to review every single chapter, just make sure to let me know you're still around!
3- DON'T SEND ME ANY CHARACTERS THAT ARE ALREADY BEING USED IN OTHER STORIES! I'll KNOW!
4- I'll be accepting a total of 14 characters for Class 1-A. Any extras that I like enough will be sent to Class 1-B.
5- When submitting a character, NEVER LEAVE THEM IN THE REVIEW SECTION! They WILL be ignored! Only submit them via PM. The review section is strictly for REVIEWS.
6- When sending your character, please title the submission as,"Restless: [Character Name, Class 1-A]". For example, "Restless: Kaminaga Kinji, Class 1-A".
7- PLEASE DON'T SEND ME ANYTHING THAT INVOLVES TIME MANIPULATION, TELEKINESIS, OR ANY OTHER OVERUSED POWER! PLEASE! I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH! LET'S TRY TO MAKE THIS A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE!
8- This is vital… DO NOT RUSH ME! Don't even think about it. I have a life like all of you, I can't dedicate myself to this every single day or even a week. So… just know that if I feel like you're being pushy or demanding an update from me, your character will NOT have a very fun time. Let this be my first and only warning…
9- The deadline for the characters is on July 1st! That should be plenty of time to get your characters situated!
10- I will be VEEEERY hard on foreign characters, this might not seem like a big deal to others, but it is to me! Submit a foreign student at your OWN risk. If it impresses me, I might allow it.
11- Don't get pissy if I don't immediately respond to your PM! I'll try my absolute best to get to every single character as soon as possible. Some submissions will be long after all…
12- IF YOU SUBMIT A CHARACTER THAT SHARES THE SAME BLOOD OF ANY OF THE MAJOR BNHA HEROES, YOU'LL BE REJECTED VERY QUICKLY! You've been warned.
13- Don't use ANY other form except the one I've given you to use, don't be lazy, peeps.
14- Students only. I'm not accepting any strictly villainous characters or Pro Heroes unless they're involved in your character's backstory. Even then, don't expect them to have a huge presence
15- While I don't want your character to be absolutely flawless, they can be powerful. However, it has to MAKE SENSE! Also, include some drawbacks or weaknesses! They can be both physical and/or mental weaknesses!
