[spoili]Justice City. On the nose, sure. But in its defense: it works. Allegedly.
One of the younger cities of Florida, it has become large and prosperous, with a population of 11 million, thanks to [Insert Popular Hero Here] and the sheer amount of aspiring and established crimefighters that make their rounds here. This is Justice City, where the chief exports are paragons of heroism and exemplars of villainy that do battle on the daily. A bit violent, perhaps, but it makes for good headlines, and even better profits.
In this era of heroism, one has to make a buck. Fighting crime costs money - hospital bills, reimbursements for property damage, equipment, proper training, damages of reputation, lawsuits. Good thing heroism pays; provided you're a 'Corper', a derogatory term for a Corporate-Sponsored hero (some, as it were, prefer the old school days of non-profit vigilantism). Heroes who are adverse to pauper-lifestyles look for corporations to sponsor them - in return for a hefty paycheque, state-of-the-art equipment and PR representatives, heroes serve as the public image of corporations, symbols of the company's dedication to social responsibility.
While the adoring masses flash their new-age cellphone cameras to capture the pizzazz of sponsored heroes, villainy and the grittier aspects of the corporate underbelly still rear their ugly heads in Justice City, which makes heroism not just an entrepreneurial endeavor, but also crucial to the city's safety. Hero Schools exist to mold the talented and uniquely gifted heroes of the future.
[Insert School Name Here], in particular, is one of the Ivy League of Hero Schools.
school info
[Insert School Name Here]
Perhaps the world's finest Hero institution, and one of several major hero schools located in the United States of America. The school's primary selling point is to offer aspiring heroes the education and training needed to enter the world of professional heroism - from a societal standpoint, however, it also carries the responsibility of steering uniquely capable individuals away from unsavory exploitation, and ensuring that the more volatile of powered beings are able to safely function in society. To that end, this school - similar to many a hero school - finds itself torn between its two primary objectives; producing the newest crop of professional heroes, as well as instilling responsibility and ethics amongst the talented students.
[Insert School Name] has classes centered around social responsibilities, combat, ordinary school curriculum necessary for life in society, and media presentation. Some of the greatest PR masters and retired media moguls find a calling here, helping mold students into marketable heroes - providing gimmicks, hero names and outfit concepts.
Students deemed applicable are grouped together into teams for hands-on experience - sometimes being held on call as auxiliary hero teams for lesser missions. Trial by fire is not uncommon for the more advanced students, a necessity given the nature of the calling.
As a beacon of heroes, the school is a prime target for acts of villainy and terrorism. As such, in addition to the veritable army of powered students and teachers, the entire school is composed of a jet-black metal alloy, capable of resisting the heaviest of munitions. Security is top-of-the-line, with state-of-the-art technology supplementing trained protectors.
The Five Boroughs: Taking a page out of New York City's book, Justice City is organized into five boroughs (county-level entities) each with their own distinct culture and history, as well as sets of government powers, albeit with each borough government inferior to the city wide government.
Hell's Side: It would be a little on the nose and questionable to name the district of Justice City with the highest amount of crime and poverty 'Hell's Side'. Nonetheless, it's been done - after all, we live in 'Justice City'. With that said, rejuvenation projects have been underway for the better part of a decade, and strides have been made towards the borough's underlying infrastructures.
Points of Interest: St. Hubert's (largest prison of Justice City, specially designed to contain 'supers'), the Sanctuarium (asylum of questionable nature)
Yorkdale: A suburban dream, and the most heavily populated of the Boroughs, being filled with residential areas and mixed use (residential + commercial) areas.
New Rome: Analogous to New York's Manhattan, New Rome is the densely populated mecca of Justice City, and its center for all things commercial, financial and administrative. Corporations, banks and embassies establish headquarters here, forming a veritable forestry of skyscrapers. Culture is as if privatized here, disseminated in the form of immaculate Chinatowns, Little Italy's and Mexicotown's, containing only the finest of each culture's wares and cuisines.
Points of Interest: New Prosperity Bank (said to contain the world's largest amount of holdings), Sacred Trust Hospital (the world's largest hospital, home to some of each field's finest doctors and surgeons), numerous embassies/corporation headquarters, Pagoda Mall (world's largest mall), The Justice Times (largest newspaper publisher in Justice City!)
Kingsville: Identified by its healthy, prosperous flourish, without the overly abundant sheen of commercialization. Culturally, and socially diverse, Kingsville is known as a beacon of artistry, with museums, art shows and concert halls abound, and locally-owned stores upon the boardwalks.
Points of Interest: Mulholland Park (largest park in Justice City, popular rallying point), [Insert Hero School Name]
Oldline: A storied borough filled with character and culture. Racially diverse, with all sorts of cultures making their mark on their neighborhoods both demographically and architecturally. Second to New Rome in its cultural and commercial prominence.
Hyperion League Inc: You know their names, you know their faces, well their costumed ones anyway, you know their power sets, and you know what products they endorse. They are the A-Team of all A-Teams. They save you from not only a tentacled, evil, space monsters but also from bad hair days. They're everywhere and anywhere. One would have to live in a cabin, deep in the woods, and hopefully away from muderous tree crabs, to not know they existed. Of course, they're not the only team at Hyperion League Inc., they're just the only one that gets the name Hyperion League. There are numerous other super teams with their own gimicks, life-saving abilities, arch-nemises, and endorsements. But they're more likely to sell you toilet paper in the fifth pages of a newspaper, who reads those anymore, than to be on a bulletin board. Anyone with a power, set of skills, or just a rad suit and grappling hook, want to be a part of the Hyperion League, but there are only seven members, and one of them is immortal. So, good luck.
Gold Star: Leader of the Hyperion League
Power Set: Immortality, Flight, Super Strength, Hand Lasers, and Expert Marksmanship
Gold Star has been the leader of the Hyperion League since the beginning of it. There are rumors that he founded it. Still, he's a well-mannered hero and a great leader. The Hyperion League has never lost at his hands. Unlike a lot of the other Hyperion League members, he doesn't endorse any products.The only thing he does endorse is not killing, which is odd for a man with both hand lasers AND a gun.
Galatika: Alien Sorceress and Bombshell of the League
Power Set: Flying, Magic, Boobs
Galatika comes from Ninoria, a planet who has a population exactly like humans except with the added bonuses of flight and magic. When she's not busy being a hero, she's an underwear model and pretty much in every thirteen year-old's spank bank. She's had torrid affairs with most of the members of the Hyperion League except for Pixel. Beyond her appearance she's actually one of the stronger fighters in the League, having gone toe-to-toe with Destructor, and putting him behind bars.
Flash Fire: Group Speedster and Social Issue Icon
Power Set: Super Speed and Creating Fire through Said Speed
Flash Fire is an outspoken environmentalist and human rights activist. If something horrible is happening in the world, she'll be there. And she can be there almost immediately given her powers. That's made her rather absentee in the League, but she always there for the big fights. Her abilities make her a powerhouse. She endorses several charities, gluten free foods, vegan foods, and vegan clothing. She has a vlog that is insanely popular and meme-able.
Kid-T: Group Sidekick and Angsty Teen
Power Set: Flying, Telekinesis
Kid-T was Captain-T's sidekick until he died--heart attack from way too many drugs. After that, she auditioned for the Hyperion League and made it in. When she started in the league, she was a teen, but at this moment in time she's in her mid-twenties. It's well known that she dislikes the "Kid" part of her name. She endorses clothing, makeup, phones, and internet social media. She's the sass of the group, capable of doling out insults and punches in fair amounts.
Black Ice: Group Badass
Power Set: Ice Creation and Manipulation, Martial Arts
Black Ice was a loner rogue that managed to make it into the Hyperion League when he realized he needed help fighting his archenemisis King Krystal--who is way more formidable than his name makes him out to be. With the League's help, he was able to defeat the villian, and he joined up afterwards. He's still pretty offset from the group, but he does show up for the big fights and is known to have literally handed a few bad guy's their own asses.
Sonic Saint: Group Genius and Loveable Dork
Power Set: Creates Sonic Waves and Manipulates Sound
While Sonic Saint has the least powerful skill set, he does have something none of the other members have--genius level intellect. He's able to defeat most of his enemies solely through exploiting weakpoints and patterns. And as such, has become an invaluable member of the Hyperion League, sometimes helming missions instead of Gold Star. He endoreses scientific everything and alternative energy. Despite not being outspoken, he is a big cavalier for global warming and even has put himself on the task of fixing it.
Pixel: Group Engima and Cybernetics Expert
Power Set: Internet Powers (?)
Pixel is [Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Sorry. Nothing Personal. But It's Personal.]

There she arrives in whatever dream state you are in, takes on a familiar face in your day to day, and ask three questions: "why do you want to be a hero?" "What are your strengths?" "What are your weaknesses?" That being said, the questions don't have to outright read like that, and there could be other questions interspersed, but those are the minimum. Please write a prompt including that. This will count as your personality and biography

The ball had been a beautiful one if not a tad typical in nature. Do not be mistaken, Persephone thought that Keldia Lue's family were one of the more agreeable houses she's dealt with over the years. But her personal feelings towards them did not make their most recent social endeavor a stand out one. She danced, performed on the harp and made sure that the Mistress Lue's enemies did not attempt anything unpleasant. Quite the routine.
