Not everyone can be a hero. Not everyone can fly high enough to touch the sky of success or claim the title as number one. But when the symbol of peace shatters before the public and the once invincible UA is no longer untouchable, the new darkened state of the nation is on the brink of falling apart. Can Class 1-B fight through their second-rate title and be worthy of being heroes, defying against all the odds as the second-rate underdogs they were dubbed to be from the beginning? Or are they just as hopelessly second-rate as everyone says? !SYOC OPEN!

Hi there everyone! I know that I haven't posted in a while, but I've been pretty busy with life (RIP me) however, I've finally found the time to come back! Since this is more of a coming back celebration/new start I wanted to try out something new to fit the theme, so this is the result, my first attempt at a My Hero Academia syoc story. I'm a huge fan of the anime, but there were a few things that I debated changing, which is the focus on class 1-B instead of the main class and tell their story. Which leads us to "Change Up" because we're going to break away from the usual storyline and go with something a bit more refreshing and different.
Midoriya's class, 1-A will be the graduating class in this story, so they are now 3-A.

I hope you guys give this a chance and are willing to submit a character. Please give me whatever you like! Feel free to include class 1-A characters, heroes from the anime/manga or come up with something entirely different and unique. I can't wait to see what you come up with! Thank you, babes! ^^

And everyone, please give a warm welcome to our co-author, LunairiaBlaze! She's literally so amazing and gracious enough to help make this happen, so everyone show her some love! Thanks again. :)

What I'm looking for:

I'll be needing at least 9 main characters, possibly more. This will be our "Class 1-B". I'll also be needing villains and characters from other classes, so fill free to submit whatever kind of character you want.

This story will revolve around both the OCs and canon characters but canon will not be the primary focus, and instead will be more of side characters. Please remember that the OCs need to come from all walks of life, that being said, they don't have to have a background of anything special, or even have a "good" track record. If you want to make more of a "delinquent/troublemaker" oc for the class, then go right ahead. They don't all have to be cut and dry good guys, they are humans who have human faults/weaknesses.

Remember that for this story in particular, class 1-B is directly under 1-A, so they don't have to be "the best" to start with and that's okay. I know that originally in the anime/manga the students in class 1-a and 1-b were split at random, however, for this story we will pretend that class 1-a is the alpha class and 1-b is second best. This time around, they will learn to develop their abilities and hopefully become shinning heroes in time. So you don't have to give me these "perfect and OP" characters. They can have flaws or seem lame at first, and that's fine. So have fun with it and come up with any OC you'd like!

Rules for submitting an OC-

1.) Please only submit your OC through PM only. That's the only way your OC will get accepted. And if you do not mind, title your PM like this: CHARACTER NAME - ALIAS - HERO/VILLAIN

2.) You do not have to follow or favorite, these are optional, though please try to keep up with my updates. And please don't submit over one OC unless you ask first!

3.) I only want active readers for this story, but you do not have to comment every chapter. Constructive criticism is welcome! And try to give me feedback on what you like about the plot and what you aren't very fond of so far. This goes for every chapter you review. I'd really like to see everyone's opinions so I can adapt the story to fit what you all like.

4.) PLEASE, NO MARY-SUES/GARY-STUS. Try to be realistic when creating your OC. No one is perfect, so don't let your OC seem like that unless it's part of your character development/arc. Also, this won't be first come first serve, so please keep this in mind. Let them have flaws; this is what makes up who your character really is.

5.) You can be related to canon characters but try to be realistic about it. If your sister is Uraraka, then you can't also be Shouto's cousin.

6.) Please don't go overboard with your oc in general. I DO NOT WANT OP CHARACTERS. Remember that most of these girls and boys are rookies, which means that this is most likely more than half of the OCs first time really using their powers, so they don't need to be hella fantastic just yet. There will be exceptions for a few OCs, but I don't want anyone to be too good quite yet. I want to help develop their potentials and let us all see them grow.

7.) Love interests are optional, you do not have to have one, but if you decide to it can be anyone. That's entirely up to you. Whether that be canon characters or new OCs.

8.) Last but not least, have fun with it! Create any kind of OC you want! Follow the rules as best as you can and try not to limit yourself. I want a diverse group of OCs, so come up with anything! If you guys have questions of any kind, please let me know right away! ^^

A/N If you're wanting to submit a villain, please make sure you put that down on your form, so I know the difference.
