Certain heroes, either because of their rank (Top 10), circumstances (like Eraserhead, Mirko, Ryukyu, etc.), or just plain old "because Rat Satan," would be aware of the magical world and some would even have their place in it. The rest of the world mostly doesn't know (of course, the gov't except for the USA already knows), and unless shit hits the fan, they'd want to keep it that way. As such, most heroes (and by association with the MHA society), would resemble that canon. The characters would be mostly the same, but some would be shaped by circumstances more than others *cough*Izuku and Ochaco*cough*. /p

Itsuka's POV brought up one downside of being one of these creatures: a significantly shorter lifespan. They don't age the same way or rate though. Itsuka already mentioned how it is for werewolves. Weretigers, they're physically at their peak their whole lives up 'til they're 22, but their bodies start shutting down from there, which usually kills them by 23. Werebears can live up to their 30s.

What these gems do is take his magic and help him manifest the attack to his opponent and each higher tier gem needs more power to use them. These correspond to different suits of cards he has. A talented Enchanter can maybe use a Tier 1 or 2 gemstone of an Evoker but is unlikely to be able to use a Tier 4 gem unless they have access to a Mantle.
