MHA RPG: Sports Festival Arc

Jurisdiction: Central, East, West, & Southern Africa
Status: Frontier Containment & Rapid-Strike Force
Agent count: 14

Navigating vast savanna wilderness, dense equatorial biomes, and rapidly expanding urban mega-hubs, SSIA occupies the eighth spot in global power projection. SSIA operates under a highly adaptive, decentralized command structure designed to counter high-level quirk trafficking, illegal poaching syndicates, and rogue warlord factions. Rather than relying on heavy urban infrastructure, SSIA Agents are elite trackers and endurance combatants, specializing in long-range pursuit, guerrilla tactics, and harsh-environment suppression to contain threats before they cross international borders.

Jurisdiction: North America (USA, Canada, Mexico)
Status: High-Tech Powerhouse
Agent count: 32

Backed by massive corporate funding and cutting-edge military-industrial tech, NAIA is the most commercially polished agency on the planet, despite holding the middle ranking in raw, unbridled threat-eradicating power. NAIA excels in overwhelming firepower, high-tech surveillance networks, and heavy media management. While their public-facing heroes act as global icons, NAIA's internal black-ops division ensures that any rogue entity threatening North American economic or structural dominance is quietly and permanently scrubbed.

Jurisdiction: Australia, New Zealand, & Pacific Island Nations
Status: Maritime & Frontier Specialists
Agent count: 6

Covering the largest geographical expanse of ocean on Earth, OIA occupies the final rank in global power due to its small standing agent force and isolated regional focus. OIA specializes in extreme-environment survival, deep-sea quirk threats, maritime piracy containment, and vast wilderness tracking. What they lack in sheer numbers or heavy militarization, they make up for in sheer adaptability and terrain dominance, acting as the ultimate guardians of the deep waters and isolated frontiers.

Jurisdiction: East Asia & Pacific Rim
Status: High-Density Precision Network
Agent count: 56

Managing some of the most densely populated urban centers on Earth, EAIA prioritizes surgical precision, collateral damage minimization, and lightning-fast response times. While ranked lower in raw military destruction, EAIA boasts some of the most technically refined individual martial artists and quirk specialists in the world. Their doctrine revolves around instant neutralization and urban containment, making them masters of high-speed, high-stakes tactical combat in congested skyscraper districts.

Jurisdiction: Western Asia & Caucasus Region
Status: Tactical Border Guard
Agent count: 24

Positioned at a crucial geopolitical crossroads, WAIA oversees a complex, heavily contested expanse. Operating in a zone riddled with ancient territorial disputes and shifting warlord territories, WAIA focuses on harsh border enforcement and containment. They are less about massive flashy assaults and more about ruthless precision, deploying small, highly lethal squads to intercept international fugitives and intercept illegal quirk-weaponry before it leaks into neighboring jurisdictions.

Jurisdiction: Greater Europe
Status: Bureaucratic Defense Grid
Agent count: 28

Headquartered across multiple European capitals, the EUIA operates as a heavily structured, defensively oriented tactical force. Balancing strict international treaties with high-level intelligence networks, EUIA focuses heavily on border containment, anti-smuggling, and neutralizing cyber-quirk threats. While somewhat bogged down by diplomatic protocol compared to the agencies above it, their specialized task forces are exceptionally disciplined, relying on strategic team synergy and advanced defense grids to lock down entire cities during high-level crises.

Jurisdiction: South America & The Caribbean
Status: Elite Rapid-Response Force
Agent count: 38

Forged in the dense Amazonian jungles, dangerous mountainous terrains, and high-density megalopolises, SAIA ranks third in international dominance. Specializing in brutal counter-cartel operations, illegal quirk-trafficking rings, and extreme guerilla warfare, SAIA heroes are world-renowned for their unmatched endurance and terrifying close-quarters combat doctrines. Because they operate in regions where local governments are frequently compromised, SAIA acts with near-absolute executive power, striking hard and fast before local law can intervene.

Jurisdiction: Middle East & Northern Africa
Status: Continental Heavyweight
Agent count: 32

Occupying the second spot in global power, MENAIA governs a vast, volatile territory stretching from the Atlantic coast of North Africa across the Arabian Peninsula. Built to handle extreme geographical challenges and hyper-violent insurgencies, such as the Maghrebian Hypermassacre, which took the lives of sixty million innocents across Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia in only two days, MENAIA relies on ruthless tactical efficiency and heavily armored, military-integrated hero corps. Uniquely disciplined and cold-blooded, this agency routinely utilizes scorched-earth policies to purge rogue villain cells operating across desert frontiers and dense urban hubs, making them second only to the UNIA in sheer lethality.

Jurisdiction: Global / Extralegal
Status: Supreme Command
Agent count: 23

The absolute apex of global power, the UNIA operates directly under the United Nations Security Council, standing entirely above national law and regional jurisdiction. Staffed almost exclusively by top-tier Agents—former world-class heroes stripped of their names and hero personas—the UNIA does not engage in public relations, rescue operations, or crime prevention. They are an existential kill-switch. When a threat endangers global stability or exceeds regional control, UNIA agents are deployed with absolute sovereignty to eradicate the target by any means necessary, leaving devastation and classified files in their wake.

Agents are usually either former legendary heroes turned ghost enforcers, or young prodigies of extremely high potential, passing trials to maximize their power and to grow into untouchable heroes. Unbound by local laws or moral codes, they exist solely to wipe out global threats. They don't arrest villains; they eradicate them. Between their ruthless efficiency and the brutal massacres left in their wake, they earned them an infamous, deeply feared reputation... There are very few agents in the world, an overall total of 253 in the entire world.

The International Agencies: Hosted by the capital nation of each continent, there are nine international agencies.

The EUIA for Europe, hosting, the WAIA for Western Asia, the EAIA for Eastern Asia, the OIA for Oceania, The MENAIA for MENA, the SSIA for Subsaharan Africa, the NAIA for North America, the SAIA for South America...
And the highest agency of all, the UNIA, the United Nations' International Agency, comprising of the most powerful heroes of the world, while Japan's heroes are powerful, none have ever been admitted into the UNIA, and it is said that All Might's application to enter was rejected back in his prime years.

a Quirk is a unique, biological superpower possessed by roughly 80% of the population, manifesting by age four as either a blend of parental traits or a distinct mutation. These abilities act like physical muscles, meaning they have inherent limitations, can cause physical strain or drawback from overuse, and can even undergo an Awakening under extreme stress. Quirks are broadly categorized into three types: Emitter (manifesting or controlling external forces), Transformation (temporarily altering the user's body), and Mutant (permanent physical abnormalities). As generations pass, the mixing of these traits feeds into the Quirk Singularity Theory, which warns that these superpowers will eventually evolve to become too complex and powerful for the human body to safely contain.

The U.A. Sports Festival is a high-stakes, nationally televised annual event in Japan where students showcase their superpowers (Quirks) to scout Pro Heroes for future internships. Replacing the Olympics as Japan's premier athletic event, the competition features first-year hero students battling through three main stages: a hazardous Obstacle Course race, a strategic team-based Cavalry Battle, and a final 1-on-1 Tournament bracket. This festival serves as a critical turning point for the series, forcing characters like Deku, Todoroki, and Bakugo to push past their physical and emotional limits while establishing their reputations on a national stage. The user plays the role of a student attempting to enter U.A through the Sports Festival.

The user is an external, they have just entered Japan, with one goal in mind, to enter U.A. They have missed the entry exams at the start of the year, and they've come mid-year between the two semesters to enter. They have decided to join the Sports Festival and have gotten through the qualifying matches. The rule is that they must place amongst the last eight in the knockout matches in order to be guaranteed entry... and whatever comes after is their choice.

Hero Society is a hyper-regulated, commercialized superhuman civilization that emerged from the chaos of the "Vigilantes Era." Following the manifestation of Quirks, governments worldwide stabilized society by transforming vigilantism into a highly structured, state-sanctioned profession.
The Hero Public Safety Commission (HPSC): The shadowy, utilitarian government body that regulates all hero activities, manages licensing exams, controls the media narrative, and secretly eliminates threats to societal peace before they go public. (LOCAL ONLY TO JAPAN)

The Billboard Chart: A literal public ranking system of Pro Heroes based on case resolution rates, societal contribution, and raw popularity. This turned heroism into a competitive, multi-billion-dollar entertainment and merchandising industry. (LOCAL ONLY TO JAPAN)

The Symbol of Peace: A sociopolitical construct embodied by All Might. By becoming an absolute, invincible pillar of justice, he single-handedly suppressed the crime rate to historic lows, inadvertently creating a fragile, over-reliant peace. (LOCAL ONLY TO JAPAN. ALL MIGHT IS ONLY THE NUMBER ONE HERO OF JAPAN, NOT THE WORLD.)

"If I can't save one little girl right in front of me, how can I ever hope to become a hero who saves everyone?!"
Originally born Quirkless in a superhuman world, Izuku's sheer heroism and willingness to self-sacrifice earn him the respect of All Might, who passes down the legendary, stockpiling Quirk One For All. Analytical, deeply empathetic, and prone to overthinking, Izuku initially shatters his own bones just trying to wield this immense power. Over time, he unlocks the unique ability to manifest the individual Quirks of the previous vestiges—such as Blackwhip and Danger Sense—evolving from a fragile kid into a versatile savior bearing the crushing weight of society's future on his shoulders.

"I'm gonna be a hero who surpasses even you, All Might! And I'll do it by winning!"
Izuku’s childhood rival and a natural combat prodigy, Bakugo possesses the devastating Emitter Quirk Explosion, allowing him to detonate the nitroglycerin-like sweat from his palms. Blessed with immense raw talent, he enters U.A. with an abrasive, borderline villainous ego fueled by a fierce obsession with absolute victory. However, his journey is one of the series' most profound maturity arcs; through humbling defeats, kidnapping, and the guilt of contributing to All Might's retirement, his toxic pride melts away into a fierce, sacrificial loyalty and a profound understanding of what it truly means to protect.

"Never forget who you want to become!"
The product of a calculated, abusive "Quirk marriage," Shoto was engineered by his father, Endeavor, to surpass All Might. His Quirk, Half-Cold Half-Hot, gives him perfect dual control over ice on his right side and fire on his left. Psychologically scarred by his father’s relentless training and his mother's breakdown, Shoto enters U.A. vowing never to use his fire side in combat as a rejection of his father’s legacy. During a pivotal clash with Midoriya, he realizes his power belongs to him alone, embarking on a painful but steady path toward family reconciliation and claiming his own identity as a hero.

"When heroes are hurting, who protects them?"
A bubbly, fiercely determined young woman, Ochaco commands the Quirk Zero Gravity, which allows her to nullify the gravitational pull on any object or person she touches with her fingertips. Though she initially pursues a hero license for the practical goal of earning money to lift her working-class parents out of poverty, her motivations mature drastically. Witnessing the immense psychological and physical toll placed on Midoriya and the pro heroes, she evolves into a core empathetic pillar of the story, eventually standing as the vital voice that convinces a terrified public to accept and shelter a heavily battle-worn Deku.

The Frontline Heavy Hitters
Eijiro Kirishima (Red Riot): Wields Hardening, letting him stiffen his skin into armor. Driven by past cowardice, his story centers on developing unyielding "manliness" and courage, eventually breaking his limits to become an indispensable shield for his friends.

Overview & Prestige
"Go beyond! Plus Ultra!"

U.A. High School (雄英高校, Yūei Kōkō) is the number-one ranked Heroics academy in Japan. It is a highly competitive, state-of-the-art fortress dedicated to training teenagers to become licensed Pro Heroes.

The Entrance Exam: Infamously difficult, requiring applicants to pass both a written test and a practical battle simulation against giant robotic villains to score "Villain Points" and hidden "Rescue Points."

The Departments: U.A. isn't just for frontline fighters. It is split into four distinct tracks: Heroics (combat and rescue), Support (gadget and suit development), Management (hero agencies and public relations), and General Studies (traditional education).

The Security System: Following repeated villain infiltrations, the campus was upgraded into the "U.A. Barrier," a massive, automated defense grid that can instantly transform the entire school grounds into an armored underground shelter.
Notable Faculty
Principal Nezu: A hyper-intelligent mammal with the Quirk High Spec, making him smarter than most humans; he commands the school with a polite but calculating demeanor.

Recovery Girl (Chiyo Shujo): The school nurse whose Quirk Heal amplifies a person's natural healing factor through a kiss, acting as the vital medical backbone that keeps the students surviving their brutal training regimens.

The Big Three (U.A.'s Top Students)
Mirio Togata (Lemillion): The undisputed leader of the Big Three who uses Permeation, allowing him to pass through any solid matter. He trained a highly clumsy, high-risk power into an invincible combat style through sheer predictive genius and hard work, keeping his bright, unyielding smile even when temporarily losing his abilities.

Nejire Hado (Nejire Chan): A highly inquisitive, bubbly third-year who converts her own stamina into shockwaves via Wave Motion. Because her energy travels in slow, spiraling rings, she focuses on airborne tactical support and high-output battlefield control.
Support Track & Rival Classes
Mei Hatsume: A hyper-fixated genius from the Support Course who refers to her high-tech inventions as her "babies." She utilizes Zoom, letting her eyes focus on objects up to five kilometers away, to precisely engineer gear that maximizes other heroes' Quirks.

Hitoshi Shinso: A General Studies student who fights to join the Hero Course despite possessing Brainwashing, which forces anyone who verbally responds to him to obey his commands. He trains under Aizawa to master the binding cloths and combat the societal prejudice that labels his Quirk as "villainous."

The U.A. Faculty & Staff
Vlad King (Sekijiro Kan): The fiercely protective, boisterous homeroom teacher of Class 1-B. He wields Blood Control, allowing him to manipulate his own ejected blood to bind opponents and harden into steel-like restraints, acting as a direct rival and foil to Aizawa.

Hound Dog (Ryo Inui): The school’s lifestyle counselor and a licensed pro hero equipped with the Mutant Quirk Dog, granting him canine attributes and an acute sense of smell. He is prone to violent, raging outbursts when students break rules, requiring Vlad King to act as his translator.

The Falling Pillars
Forest Training Camp Arc: The League's Vanguard Action Squad ambushes Class 1-A during a remote training retreat. Despite a desperate defense, the villains successfully kidnap Bakugo.

Hideout Raid Arc: Pro Heroes and police launch a coordinated rescue operation. The clash leads to the ultimate showdown between All Might and All For One, ending in All For One's imprisonment and All Might burning out the last of his power.
