    • Information: Power Ranking - Class and Level
    ​
    In Academy city powers are ranked through their Level, which is a means of seeing how far they have progressed through the Power Curriculum Program, with Level 0 being the lowest and the Theoretical Level 6 being the highest.

    However, there is another means of Ranking abilities that is far less used, which is the Class System. The Class System ranks abilities based the generated effect that the power is capable of achieving. The Highest Rank on the Class System is Rank √-1, has only one a pair of words scrawled under it in the notes 'Image Breaker'.

    Below that are Ranks I-X. The creator of this system posits that were two people of the same Level to fight, the one whose power is of a higher Class would win. The thought experiment used as an example for this is:

    Class III, Level 5 - Electromaster would lose to a Class IV, Level 5 - Radio Noise, who would also lose to a Class VI, Level 5 - Railgun.

    One of the major reasons that this system is derided and oft ignored is the theory of Class Shift, or the capacity for someone who has a power to work and develop the power in such a way that it evolves to a more advanced variation of the same ability. It is theorized that Misaka Mikoto first came to the city as a Class III, Level 1 - Electromaster, but has undergone a Class Shift Three times, with two of them expected to have happened during a Level Shift when Misaka's abilities evolved enough during a short enough time period to advance multiple levels during a single Level Shift.

    By the way, can we eventually get an Esper Abilities?
     
    At the moment in the story, both Magic and Esper powers are still on the table.

    And can I get a vote count?
     
    Also, @Lunaryon just saying this option is in the lead by a large amount.

    Alright, Locking Vote then.

    Expect an update... Soon...ish.

    I've got work and it's a double shift, so I should have some time during my break to work on the update, but if it's not out in eight-ish hours then it will likely come out in about twelve hours.

    Probably.
     
    IGNORE ME
    GO TO THIS POST INSTEAD​

    adfu;hasiufdhaeirujbsdf


    I keep trying to work on the update, but every time I look at the character, I get some different idea on the personality.

    So here's some stuff to vote on to make it easier on me. Just be warned that there are hidden costs and bonuses as well.

    [ ] Dunce of the Class (-- to Intelligence -- to Personal Reality -- to Belief, Get Complete Membership in one Skill Out Gang, get 3 Skill-Out Sempais, Locked out of Bookworm and Ojou-sama Personalities)
    [ ] Bottom Rung (- to Intelligence -- to Personal Reality - to Belief, Get Complete Membership in One Skill Out Gang, Locked out of Bookworm and Ojou-Sama Personalities)
    [ ] Middling by (-- to Personal Reality - to Belief, Get Complete Membership in One Skill Out Gang, Locked out of Ojou-Sama Personality)
    [ ] Top 15% (- to Personal Reality, + to Intelligence, Get High Membership in One Skill Out Gang)
    [ ] Top of the Class (+ to Intelligence, Get Good Membership in One Skill Out Gang)

    Choose Two -
    [ ] Minor Friend Saten and Uiharu
    [ ] Connection in Judgement (lose all Skill Out gains)
    [ ] Skill Out Mentor (+ to your Skill Out gains)
    [ ] Live near Touma
    [ ] Doc got Extra Experiments (+???)
    [ ] Extra Allowance (+ to Monthly Allowance)

    I'll get to the Personality when I get off of work.

    Bookworm Personality gets you a bonus to Intelligence, Personal Reality and Belief, and also has a plot hook
    Ojou-Sama is a shy very polite personality that gets you a big bonus to Charisma a plot hook and some OC characters to interact with.

    It's always nice to have friends in high places. Let's see what experiments we have.
     
    Gah... I'm not all that happy with this one... But I'll look at it again when I'm off work and not as stressed/frustrated.

    Think I'll add one or two to each and explain the bonuses a bit better...

    living near Touma mean that we really don't need to go looking for adventure, just wait for Touma horrible lack of luck to draw something in for us
    easy exp gain

    You have me convinced but I like the thought of having connections to Judgement as well as the fact that the Doc got experiments thing might be real important...
