The first Meta Ability was manifested by a newborn baby in Qing Qing City, China with the ability to radiate light from its body.
After this phenomenon, many people around the world began to manifest different kinds of superpowers, which became known as Meta Abilities. While the cause of this phenomenon is unknown, it has been theorized that it was caused by the spread of a previously unknown virus carried by mice, although this theory had no hard evidence.
The dawn of this extraordinary era was marred by a breakdown of society caused by the sudden onslaught of criminals empowered by their newfound "superpowers" and ordinary people being prejudiced against the new minority.
As chaos and unrest ensued due to the outbreak of Meta Abilities, ordinary civilians decided to take matters into their own hands to bring order to society and thus the first "Heroes" appeared in the form of Vigilantes and thus beginning the Vigilantes Era
As society adapted to the new status quo, the Police Force moved to prioritize leadership and to maintain the status quo, and as such, decided not to use Quirks as weapons. To fill that void, the profession of crime-fighting Quirk users, Pro Heroes, began to exist, starting in Rhode Island, USA, which caused the Vigilantes to slowly disappear. Authorizing the use of powers that could so easily kill, however, was a greatly criticized decision at first, but eventually became accepted as a legitimate occupation. This became known as the "Advent of the Extraordinary".
As with most great discoveries with the human race, the βAdvent of the Extraordinaryβ was followed by militarization and war. World War Three as it would come to be known. The war sparked between Russia and the United States. Quickly spreading between allied nations and those that opposed the sanctions from the UN. Though the war lasted only five years, the devastation from the quirks used lasted for years afterwards.
Two generations later, brings about the current day. While most have recovered from the third great war. There are some nations that still suffer from the destruction left in its wake. In the worldβs underground there are whispers of a man. A man that can give you anything, but equally take it away. The rumor is that heβs amassed forces unlike any the worldβs seen. Many pro heroes have gone in search of him, yet all of them come back empty handed, or never returned to begin with.
In the current day there is a school known as UA. Internationally renowned for its training of the next generation of heroes. Will this generation be the ones to truly usher in the era of peace? The era without criminals? The era without war? Only time will tell, and your choices going forward.
