This is a story of Conflict, of Heroes and Villains , of by gone youth and better days. Of hopes, dreams, sacrifice and at times necessary Evil. A Continuation of Legends new and conclusion of stories old.
I am your GM RedArmyShogun, aka Red, RAS, Shogun, also joined by @EmperorsChosen @Azurian Dream @Jessica2477 @Demon Shinobi as Co-gm's or story assistants
This is the third part in a series of two previous Boku no Hero Academia Rp's found here and here. This is a continuation of the second RP in which a villain in concert with a underground organization, manages to shake the very pillars of hero society and far off Future Japan in an AU setting. This story is the continuation of two PC centric groups that operate under different philosophies and must learn to come to understanding or maybe even come to blows against the other. The Hero Association and the Anti-Quirk counter terror Unit ANVIL. However machinations or misunderstandings are the least of their worries as they face off against the enigmatic group known simply as The Organization and a resurgent Yakuza threat. But even this is not all the forces of Good or at lease order face off against an assorted cast of villains ranging from the nonviolent and tricky, to the Criminally insane.
Please read below and see if you would like to take part in this adventure, and do try to read over everything, important tidbits may be there. IF you would like to join and weren't in the RP to start with, please DM me.

Set in the setting of BNHA, this is an alternate universe in which Allmight and Deku among others do not exist, or at least not in a capacity that you as the viewer would know. New heroes and new villains have risen. All for one and one for all are not things, quirks and do not reflect on the current history. This will also be addressed in the Q&A.
Set around the stories of two former Class 1A's of the Prestigious UA Academy, this story continues with the 2nd Generation of characters, many of whom continue the legacy, genetic and otherwise of the Original class. Located in the first and 2nd link respectively. While at odds with one another at times it never developed to the point it has outside of the 2nd Generation. With their children in danger, prison breaks en masse and general helplessness to react to the situation, one given form by the will of Akio Kura, did that trust and those bonds fall apart.
His constant assaults and a wish to Destroy Hero Society, to make a world in which the quirkless could live, would become a pawn in the sinister schemes of unknown task masters and his dream would be given form by those he had sought to destroy. Misoka Daichi. After the death of a Villain she was tasked to capture and hearing his final request, Misoka could only look on as her own child and those of her friends, of strangers and countrymen were crushed and threatened like they were nothing. She saw the wisdom in the parting words of Rintaro and in the brief discussion she had with Akio in the old subways of Tokyo after a failed capture attempt. Quirks could no longer be something that the Politicians could ignore, it could not be used to send school children to fight to the death against uncaring terrors.. And Scum like this who acted so brazenly could not be allowed to live. If Hero Society could not keep the peace, then she would.
Such did the ANVIL initiative, Anti-Villain come to be. An Elite counter terrorism force made up of quirk users to handle the jobs that HA could not, either quickly or safely. But such an imitative was doomed to stall... Till the final efforts of the new class 1A were being rewarded on this day in May for all of their struggles and battles to this point, the political limelight they were forced into, even if it was for the political gain of another, things seemed calm. It was then that the Villain would play his final role. The Bloody Seventh. Numerous civilians, heroes, the Prime Minister and the Mayor of Tokyo would all fall to this attack. Though most of the Villains were captured or forced back, with Akio taking his own life, this was the final nail in opposition towards ANVIL. Faith in the police was at an all time low and HA was forced to finally allow for reforms, quirks were to be written into the laws and a new Era was to be born.
However not all was peace. Prison breaks continue and weapons are being smuggled into Japan. The Yakuza have even sound the Drums of War and organized under the leadership of one Woman, to an extent one could scarcely imagine and never seen before in History. In the face of all of this Class 1A, old and new are on different sides, Misoka Daichi now heads ANVIL, but the unit seems to be slipping from it's original purpose and her grasp of control. Even as new Icons like public star Ayame Daichi and human wrecking ball Kanna Tanaka stands alongside others on recruitment posters, given the poor and often ignored rural areas a sense of hope.
On the other side, you have the replacements for Gregori Yamagata, a man who sacrificed as much as he could to keep the blood thirsty investors at bay, leaving Allo Tamoyo and Kazuo Mizushima to fill his shoes, to steer, the former UA into a new direction as THE Hero Academy of the Hero Association. Popular in the Urban areas still by and large with it's cult like ratings board they must guide new rising stars like the venerable Chevalier and even the plucky upstart Gold Finger among many of their fellow classmen now hold the line, be it fame or trying to restore the faith of heroes.
It is in this conflict, in which ANVIL and HA will have to find a new balance.. For if they do not all of Japan may fall to the self proclaimed "Empress." Not to mention other hidden forces and Agendas. But will such a thing be so simple? The Torch has been passed but can they keep it and unravel the hidden threat that lead so many to slaughter?
~~FACTIONS ~~
In the Wake of Villain escapes, the reemergence of the Yakuza threat, Japan was met with a rapid and deadly rise of crime and a sudden influx of illegal arms. What started as one prison break and the release of dangerous Quirk using criminals soon became a full on wave of Terrorism and malcontent that Japanese Society and Police were ill equipped to deal with. The Police were found impotent and unable to deal with the more deadly of quirks and the Heroes were too spread thin. Seeing the truth to all of this, or rather the long term effects, Misoka Daichi led the call for an ANTI-VILLAIN task force. A couple of short months later, her pleas were being held up in the politics of the National Diet, even now Japan attempted to hold to its democratic principles, to the old slow ways. National Party members continued to court the Money and Prestige that was in the Hero Association. That was until the internal Terror attack called the Bloody Seventh in which large numbers of the Public and of the Japanese Government were wounded and killed during an award ceremony for the Students of UA Class 1A at that time...
Japan would now rise to the challenge, but even so the halls of Democracy can turn but so fast and it would take nearly two years till the group was able to carry out its tasks.
ANVIL's logo is a steel Anvil withstanding the joint blows of a lightning bolt and of a hammer, with the Crest of Japan engraved upon its face and two crossed Katana behind it. A bulwark of the Nation that would not yield and would do whatever it took to preserve the safety of Japan. It's fighting force is the Katanas forged in the fire of these times.
Operating under the Ministry of Justice and in Cooperation with the Ministry of Defense, ANVIL is a public protection force which functions in the role of a State Police force, armed or containing combative quirk users within its formations, they unlike the HA are authorized with full law enforcement powers and the means to combat force in kind. Officially ANVIL tries to handle enforcement in more peaceful ways but they are authorized in certain situations to use lethal force without question. Towards this end the JSDF provides some of the Equipment that ANVIL uses.
Being that ANVIL agents are paid civil servants wages and operate under mostly Police rankings they are not as well paid as their pro hero counterparts, are publicly known and have a "base" uniform. Typically ANVIL assault teams and Agents are afforded some liberty in personal gear and mission clothing that makes them stand out to a limited degree. ANVIL currently has a lukewarm relationship that borders on cold with HA given differing operational practices and philosophies.
*ANVIL tends to operate as an anti-quirk force which while possessing some firepower tends to have rules on the deployment of it which can be more strict than sending in quirk users with permission to be lethal.
With the closing of two of its Academy grounds and a third being absorbed into ANVIL and it's Recruit depots, the Hero Association would find itself on the back foot in the wake of the Bloody Seventh and the aftermath. Rather than throwing in the towel the Association readily agreed to the reforms handed down from Tokyo, the chief one being that no one under the age of 17 who did not have parental permission and finished High School could attend Hero Training.
Another problem in the wake of the attacks were skittish investors and the warriness of dozens of Hero Agency offices which had no means to coordinate nor to protect themselves. To these ends Headmaster Gregori would take the battered Kazuo Mizushima and the eccentric Allo Tamoyo into his plot to save the UA.
Together they would set about reforms bringing in capital, changing how heroes operated and bringing in the smaller training schools to make a venerable fortress, even if a super corporate skyscraper one. UA would become HA, Hero Academia of the Hero Association. Gregori in apologies for his former disgrace would step down from his post, with the board of directors naming Allo as Venture CEO and Kazuo as Academy Headmaster. The two would find other jobs landing on their plate within the new facility till more pros could be brought in. A new focus would be demanded, counting on performance and investment with the still nice portions of Urban Japan being seen as the fulcrum of operations.
Today in the Modern Hero Academy, normal classroom curriculum is no longer part of the course outside of degree earning electives and heroes have gotten more used to working together to tackle the general crime and new Villain threat. Now HA most prove it still has value and worth, as more and more the chaotic situation in Japan has lead to it and the Agents of ANVIL stepping into one another's territory of operations or some in the HA not liking the existence of as they see it, a tyrannical ANVIL, just as much as the later sees them as incompetent corporate pawns.
Today the HA has many of the daily necessities within it's compound that a Pro Hero could want, as billboards of the Top 10 seem to ever increasingly face off against ANVIL recruitment and propaganda signs. The now of the HA may for now lay in the hands of an uncaring business board, but it's past and it's future as always will lay in the hands and acts of it's Heroes.
Born from backroom prison deals and the aftermath of the Great Summer Prison Break during the class 1A timeline, the UYS or The Yakuza as it is simply known is the results of the efforts of one Mikazuki Takanashi, "The Empress" as some call her. During the age of heroes and the Hero Association, the Yakuza was often caught off on the backfoot, with their public personas, office buildings, company pins and general demeanor, the Yakuza were easy targets for the new pro heroes to make a target of. Over the following decades the Yakuza was forced underground, it's activities constrained, lacking purpose and direction the Yakuza and it's dozens of Families, Branches and Clans could only look on with gnashed teeth cursing the heavens, cursing the Hero Association till one faithful day.
During the hero days of Siberian Thunder a young teenage girl with a powerful quirk and a mean streak a mile wide came to lead a gang, claiming territory she would bit by bit come to the attention of a Local Yakuza Boss who took a direct interest in her, doubly so when he learned of the troubled youths past and origin, she was passed for succession to the Imperial Throne, though for what little that mattered in Democratic Japan, a sore chip that made her all the more violent and charismatic. She would climb the ranks to Captain and then through a coup become the head herself… That was not to last as Siberian Thunder would with a few others bust the Gang and help arrest all of its members, including her.
The Violence however did not stop in prison, if anything it escalated massively. Her Yakuza clan quickly became infamous for arranged murders and assaults upon other prisoners and staff, forcing other Yakuza groups under her protective Umbrella. Her power and influence would continue to grow till the point she had privileges offered as "peace offerings" from the guards to keep the attacks from happening. By the time Akio's group led the massive breakout she was directly called "The Empress" and her Clan had more in common with the most vile of US and European Criminal Empires than that of the Yakuza.
After her breakout and that of the remaining clan heads, the Empress had a meeting to "persuade" the other leaders, from her own prison and soon after others, that the times had changed. Should the Yakuza continue as it was, well… It would not survive. A few leaders willingly bowed and bent the knee, a few others did not and reacted in assorted ways, only to be gunned down or poisoned en masse. The Yakuza would really become THE Yakuza, united and with influence rivaling that of the Mafia. The Goals of the group and its newfound purpose was rather simple and another group was more than happy to arm them to this regard;
Retaking all lost territory, restoration of the Imperial Mandate, re-emergence from the shadows and Revenge upon the Hero Association and the incompetent Ministers of Japan. With one simple command the path of the Yakuza became manifest;
Let Fly the banners of old and carve forth a bloody path! For only in spilled blood can there be Honor! Only with Force can there be Respect! O'Japan, your Children who are lost and Shunned, come into the embrace of the one true Empress!
And with this did the Yakuza become all the more Militarized and terroristic in its actions and purpose. The power of the fist and being flashy would no longer hold sway, the Yakuza would take up arms and sink in the shadows as needed, for all that matters is reclaiming what is theirs by right.
The Organization is much as the name would suggestion, an Organization that arose with the first Quirks of Mankind. Simply put in conspiracy circles one would speak of hidden sects or secret societies then this is part of what they mean. Though it's talons are rather selective and the group acts on a principle of collective interests with a large degree of freedom. Among its members are politicians, industrialists, military officers, the rich and the eccentric. The Organization is by its very nature everywhere and nowhere, together and separate, it is known there is a council of shadowy backers who will show up in a rotating council, be it the true backers or proxies speaking from shadowy screens is unknown, typically consensus is reached by a Chairman who is known and who has changed hands many times over history.
Typically The Organization will engage in services or the movement of resources on behalf of its members or to proxy organizations and causes in kind. Towards these ends and tying with the first quirk usages, a select few were quick to capitalize on mankind's new power, selecting puppets to act in accordance to the will of the Council and the Chairman, the Enforcers.
Enforcers are selected from Children with Unique and battle suited quirks. Indoctrinated at an early age, taken from terrible situations or even purchased from the worst of slums, their origins are often one of pity and little value. These children are given the best of education and martial training, whilst also being indoctrinated within the Organization, coming to see it as their purpose, their family, their one truth, rather than mindless servants however, Enforcers are taught a variety of skills and are taught to accomplish their missions with their own skill set, with cooperative tasks being rare but of the utmost importance.
Enforcers act as middlemen, negotiators and messengers for situations that the powerful or strange may want a hand in but cannot do so themselves. Enforcers are also called upon to be Assassins and Agents, using their skills to remove problematic "issues" that stand within the Organizations way, be they reporters, crime lords, politicians and even heroes. Overall not even the Enforcers know who is fully in control and the groups numbers are unknown with its purpose and goals being in flux and at the whims of the situation before them. The Enforcers are also as strange and varied in means and talents, only unified by a common upbringing and via having spilled the blood of others.
For it is the Will of the Few, the calling of the powerful or the mad. It is not made for one, but for the few of the many, hence it's simple name that lacks any meaning within it.
That is The Organization. The Collective will of the anonymous cells that make the whole of a Body.

Q: What is the hidden word?
A: Your Word of the Day is Academia. Add it to the bottom of your sheet in EXTRA.
Q: I have real life happenings and can't make the post, will you kick me?
A: No, provided you let us know. Between public Libraries and Cellphones you can post a simple terse message, only Cthulhu coming for your soul will be acceptable as an excuse here. Communication is expected and Key/
Q: Will you just kill my pc's? I wouldn't like that :c
A: Typically unless that death serves a purpose I will transfer them out.
Q: This seems harsh to new people, why should normal members decide my sheet?
A: This RP has had an ending, something rare on Iwaku, we lost half our number along the way and most of our players that stayed have been here for nearly a year. I owe it to them to not allow all of their work to be dismissed casually and I will strive to see this RP through to the end, I would like for you to come along, I would like to see you become invested.
Q: Why Collabs?
A: We found them to work with crazy timezones and for short replies and battles. We also have an ooc section on discord to post more "casual" interactions, typically we work in a "story arc" then a "down time arc" one is for story and battle, the other for relationship development. Because of time constraints Collabs may be encouraged for some.
Q: What is the more "detailed" differences between ANVIL and HA?
A: ANVIL is Civil Servants, part of the normal Police under the Justice Ministry and thus have more "simple" costumes and operate on name, typically they aim to capture dangerous Quirk Users alive but have the Authority to kill them. HA is pretty much like in the show, they get more perks, better pay and often better gear and of course hero names.
OOC wise ANVIL has ranks while UA has hero board raitings. In the former case this will mostly be used for GM instruction purposes and flavor text, in the barracks or on the field you can be as casual as you like with an officer, but in Public settings, like with the Media it is discouraged, while higher hero ratings equals more pay an IC influence.
Q: Should I be ANVIL or HA?
A: We are mostly even so pick what you like, if the numbers become lopsided this will change.
Q: When will sheets be expected by?
A: By the 20th at the latest, I would much rather before then.
Q: Your Lore thread is Ugly.
A: Well I'm not insulting you but okay. If you have images to spiff it up I will take them. I'm that shameless.
Q: Hey! I have a super duper RP Idea! I want to be like Thor but be the Child of A European President and have all sorts of guns and jets an-
A: No.
Q: B-but
A: No.
Q: When will the IC be launched?
A: I am aiming before the CS signups are closed, so between now and the 20th, 15th for good measure, 20th at the latest.
Q:I have some other Question that isn't listed here?
A: DM Me or another GM on Iwaku or Discord.
Q: How do Collabs work in regards to the RP posting speed?
A: Collabs are expected to be done in a speedy manner, but it is not unusual for them to take up to two weeks or longer in some cases, while I want to avoid the later, during these times you normal posting does not apply, though if you only responded to them a couple of times a week there will be issue taken with it.
