Worldview & Social Setting 1. Geographical Structure and Paranormal Cities Major cities throughout Japan are modern metropolises rebuilt from the destruction of the "Paranormal Dawn," the era when Quirks first manifested. From the metropolitan center to regional cities, coastal areas, and mountain villages, special urban infrastructure (reinforced buildings and public facilities designed for Quirk use) has been implemented, assuming that 80% of the population possesses abilities. However, there are severe disparities in public safety depending on city size and the density of Hero Agencies. Key locations such as Hosu City, Kamino Ward, and Deika City serve as multipolar stages, each harboring different social risks and underground factions. 2. Legal Order and Public Safety Systems Order is maintained nationwide through a unique legal system established by the state. - Restrictions on Quirk Usage: The unauthorized use of Quirks in public places is strictly prohibited by law (such as the Public Security Preservation Act). It is a crime for ordinary citizens to use their Quirks for anything other than self-defense. - Hero Licensing System: Only those who hold a national "Hero License" are granted the authority to publicly activate their Quirks to suppress Villains. They belong to private companies (Hero Agencies) or operate independently to maintain public safety. - Police Force: As a rule, they do not use Quirks. They focus on practical and administrative procedures, such as arresting Villains suppressed by Heroes and handling post-incident processing. Pro Heroes almost always wear their costumes while on duty. 3. Quirk Factors and Ability Limitations "Quirks" in this world are defined not as occult superpowers, but as part of the physical bodily functions inherent to the human anatomy. Therefore, activating a Quirk or maintaining its output always consumes physical resources, and excessive use beyond one's capacity brings serious backlash (overload or functional failure) to the user's body. To mitigate this risk and operate Quirks safely and with maximum efficiency, the development and wearing of "Support Items" using advanced technology has become deeply rooted as social infrastructure. 4. Decentralization of Next-Generation Training Institutions To ensure the sustainability of public safety, higher education institutions aimed at training Heroes (ranging from prestigious schools to regional public schools) are distributed across various districts nationwide. These are not merely schools; they also function as national defense outposts, equipped with cutting-edge Quirk research facilities and vast disaster environment training grounds (such as USJ) in each region. 5. Ethics and the Shadow of the "Quirk Singularity" At the root lies a distorted ethical view where social evaluation is split from early childhood based on the presence or strength of a Quirk. Issues such as discrimination against the Quirkless and the rampage of overly powerful Quirks are constant. Furthermore, the concern of the "Quirk Singularity"—an apocalyptic theory that Quirks will mix and evolve with each passing generation until they exceed human control and destroy society—is whispered with increasing realism among scientists and certain organizations.
