chapter 1: the beginning
we live in a world full of heroes. Around 80% of the earth's population had some sort of ability called a quirk. With the rise of quirks also came the rise of villains but to combat this citizens took up arms thus heroes were born. this is the story of a class of American students learning to become heroes.
This story begins on the day of the entrance exam. In upstate New York the Kent institute is nestled in its wide expansive campus. The main building has an arch like front entrance with windows and columns, two columns in the center extend past the roof. On the sides of the arch are two rectangular sections of the building. The building is about 8 floors tall and 500 yards long. The building appears to be constructed of a white stone material. There are individual buildings on the sides of the main building. The front lawn of the campus has green grass, shrubbery, and trees planted around on the sides. There is a driveway arcing to the main walkway. The walkway is a cobblestone path leading to a small stone set of steps and a ramp.
On this day many potential students from across the North American countries have gathered. A few of them are dressed rather fancily and others are dressed casually. One such student is George Holt, who is dressed casually in a striped green and black long sleeve and jeans. George has a messenger bag slung over his shoulder. George appears to be comprised of an orange and blue waving energy. Though with that energy around him it is hard to get a read on his face as the only thing you can derive are the two glowing blue orbs that are is eyes. George looks around confused. He observes the herd of people walking around. There are a few adults sifting through the crowd, they must be teachers. George decides to go over to one of them for assistance.
George gently taps the shoulder of a rather large burly man "Excuse me sir…. I'm kinda lost… could you perhaps help?..."
The man turns around. He has on soot grey cargo pants, a red t-shirt, welding gloves, a workshop apron, and boots. He has a thick bushy beard and a balding head of hair. He looks George over "Sure thing kid. I probably what you are looking for. You enter the building and follow the signs to the auditorium. Sound alright?" He smiles kindly.
George nods "Thank you sir." He runs off quickly entering the building. George follows the signs which lead him to two women handing out pieces of paper to each student from a table in front of the auditorium. George examines his paper; it has his personal information on it:

Eyes: w/q blue. Wo/q brown.

George tilts his head and makes a motion like he is adjusting glasses as he enters the auditorium.
The auditorium is rows of well-made chairs with fold out desk tables on the sides. There is an upper balcony. The ceiling has a curved design in it so sounds can better travel. This auditorium was clearly built with a massive student body in mind. On the walls are banners with the school initials on it: a KI in blue and gold letters. On the stage is a podium and fake plants that look convincingly real.
George goes to find a seat among the horde of other applicants. He sits next to a boy with a dark green fohawk. The boy is wearing a black leather vest, ripped jeans, a purple shirt, and fingerless gloves. He looks tough.
The boy looks George over "you ready? The thing should be starting up here soon?"
George nods excitedly "Yes. Yes I am. I came prepared for today. Even applied to two different courses to better my odds. You probably can't tell but I'm smiling nervously right now. I'm George by the way." George offers his hand to the boy
The boy chuckles and shakes George's hand firmly which pops George's hand "Iain. You seem smart George. Smarter than most I mean." Iain looks up as the lights start to flicker "I guess it is time."
The lights go out except the ones over the stage. An Asian woman walks onto stage wearing a black pants suit with a blazer and red button up. She has on black pumps. She looks to be in her mid to early 30s. She has wavy brown hair. She steps up to the podium and smiles warmly.
Before the lady gets a chance to speak a few individuals start cat calling her.
The lady counts them "Ok you five please leave the school grounds immediately. That kind of behavior is not tolerated here. Try Purgatory high school over in Chicago." She waves as the five are escorted out. She looks out at everyone "Now that the little distraction is gone allow me to introduce myself, I'm principal Potts and might I say welcome to the Kent Institute." Principal Potts smiles warmly.
