It happened one night about a month ago. Three shooting stars collided with each other right above this city, sending sparks of light raining down upon the city and the surrounding area. It was a once-in-a-lifetime event. It also marked the beginning of a battle that would encompass the city. In the coming weeks, young people – teenagers, children, and young adults – found themselves in possession of supernatural powers. And with these powers came conflict.
Before this tales of power from the stars and the conflict surrounding them can begin, first we need a protagonist.
Let's get down to business, shall we?
First and most importantly, what is your name?
[ ] Write in
Are you a boy or girl?
[ ] Boy
[ ] Girl
You're in high school, this in non-negotiable. What are you?
[ ] Freshman
[ ] Junior
[ ] Senior
You live in Yorizen City, a city that was once three small towns that merged to become one big settlement after a small short silly war. The city can be divided into three areas based around the towns that it was made out from – Yohana, Ryega and Zeno. Yorizen is surrounded by rolling hills, crops, riverbanks and woodlands. While the younger generation including yourself consider themselves see themselves as residences of Yorizen, the older generations tend to see themselves as still members of one of the towns that make up Yorizen. In any case, which area do you live in?
[ ] Yohana – The most rural area of the city. A fair amount of farmland makes up the area. While not the most exciting place, the Yohana area is considered the most relaxing and peaceful part of Yorizen. Most of the younger population finds it boring though. Yorizen River flows right through Yohana, making it also a prime fishing spot.
[ ] Ryega – The former University Town. Yorizen University along with many other smaller institutions are found here. Yorizen Public Library and Yorizen Municipal Hospital are also located here. Currently, there has been rising tension between the locals and the transient student population.
[ ] Zeno – Originally a hot spring town. Hot Spring inns, motels, restaurants, and speciality shops can be found in this area. It is also home to a large department store whose arrival has forced a number of independent family-owned businesses to go out of business.
Okay, tell me more about yourself. What's your current home life like?
[ ] You live with your parents, siblings and grandpa in a middle-class working family in a decent two story house. You are expected to go to school, help around the house, and generally stay out of trouble. It's a pretty normal home.
[ ] You live in a large traditional Japanese mansion as a member of your family clan. Born from a family of wealth, influence, and possibly nobility – you have certain expectations forced upon you. It's a pretty oppressive place depending on how you look at it.
[ ] You live in a small apartment with your mother. Shortly after you were born, your father died in an accident and due to various reasons your mother ended up raising you by herself. You had it rough while growing up but your mother did her very best to raise you well.
What's your social life like?
[ ] You're a loner with a few close friends. Outside of them, your existence is barely acknowledged.
[ ] You're got a circle of friends that you've known since childhood. They've got your back and you theirs.
[ ] You're one of the popular kids at school. Lots of friendly acquaintances but no-one that you're particularly close with.
AN: Right then, I've decided to write another quest. This is sort of a reboot of my previous quest, a typical high school life filled with supernatural battles, since I'll be reusing the premise and maybe characters. Things like the nature of the powers that our character will be different this time around. I may also possible be doing a crossover with other stuff later on but for now, let's make a protagonist.

Name: Takagi Shinzo
Sex: Male
Age: 17
Affiliation: 3rd-year student, Maxwell Private Academy
Appearance:
Traits
Peak Human: You are someone whose body has reached the utmost limits of human ability. Your strength, speed and durability are equal and perhaps greater than even Olympic-level athletes. It wouldn't be wrong to say that you were superhuman.
Intellectual: You're not an idiot, far from it in fact. As you honed your body, you have also sharpened your mind. Your intelligence is such that you have kept your position as the number one student in all your school's exams for the last several years.
Blood Knight: Despite what you say and do, deep down you are always yearning for a fight, and you will never back down from ever being challenged. If someone wants to fight, they'll get one eventually.
Face of a Thug: Regardless of what you wear, at best you look like a delinquent, and at worst a member of the yakuza. You are also frequently thought to be older than you really are.
Power
??? Shard - React (Rank 1): In response to an immediate threat, you will gain physical enhancements based on what you believe in needed to overcome said threat. These enhancements are temporary, lasting for either five minutes or until the threat is resolved, whichever comes first. If the five-minute limit is reached, react will not reactivate for the threat that activated it in the first place.

He lives out in the countryside running a Orphanage, but most of his adventures take place in the Red Light District of Tokyo (Zeno). He's mostly a loner who only lives with the orphans at his place (lives with mother), and only ever really comes out to fight when someone messes with this one girl named Haruka. He doesn't really have any friends because he used to run with the Yakuza, but every time he comes to Tokyo, he meets up with a couple of people who end up helping him out for the rest of the game (Acquaintances but no close friends).

-[X] You're one of the popular kids at school. Lots of friendly acquaintances but no-one that you're particularly close with.
Your name is Takagi Shinzo, a seventeen-year-old Japanese high schooler. Despite your intimidating appearance and stoic demeanour, you are a kind, loyal and gentle person as long as no-one gets on your bad side. Thanks to this, you are somewhat popular at school and have many acquaintances that you are friendly with.
You live with your mother in a small apartment in the Zeno area of Yorizen. The apartment, despite its size and age, is quite comfortable and has all of life's necessities, a testament to your mother's efforts. Thanks to the landlord being an old family friend, the rent is lower than it would normally be for a place like yours. Your mother is frugal with the household budget and has an eye for finding ways to cut down on household costs in order to save up enough money for your college funds.
That sounds about right. A couple more questions and we'll be done.
In Yorizen city, there are four high schools, one in the Yohana and Zeno areas and two in the Ryega area.
North Rizen Public High, located down in the Yohana area, is where around half of Yorizen City's high school student attend. It is considered a fairly average school academically but it does offer a wide range of extracurricular activities. It is most famous for its Kendo and Track clubs with both having reached the nationals in the past. Being the oldest of all the schools, it also has the largest student population of the schools in Yorizen so there are many interesting characters of all kinds found here.
In the Ryega area, there are two schools, Maxwell Academy and Kaido Academy. Maxwell academy was formerly an all-girls private school that became co-ed while Kaido was similarly an all-boys private school as well. However, they are both very different schools.Maxwell Academy was built for the sake of young ladies from rich and influential backgrounds while Kaido was an elite preparatory school with high academic standards. Even after they both became co-ed, Maxwell still remains as a prestigious school that the wealthy and influential population of Yorizen send their children while Kaido is known to be one of the top school with many successful students. Both school, due to being in the same area, have something of a rivalry with each other.
Over near the outskirts of the city in the Zeno area is Ichiyama High. This school is renown for accepting delinquent students, usually those expelled from the other schools. Thanks to this, it has become a school where might makes right. Fighting comes naturally to both the students and surprisingly the faculty who were chosen specifically so that they can deal with the violence the students dealt out. Due to the fact that the school building often gets damaged during a big fight between the various factions in the Ishiyama, it has a surprisingly robust carpentry and construction program to help repair any damage. A number of students that manage to graduate from Ichiyama tend to have fairly decent construction skills.
Now then, Takagi Shinzo, which school do you attend?
[ ] North Rizen Public High - It's a public school so your tuition fees aren't too bad plus most of the people you've known since elementary go there as well. It's not the best or the richest or the smartest school around but it's a decent place to learn in. Having a large student population, there are all kinds of interesting characters to be found here. Compared to the other schools, North Rizen seems pretty normal and that's okay with you. It is also the most peaceful school as well.
[ ] Maxwell Academy - Somehow, for one reason or another, you've managed to get a scholarship to this highly prestigious school for the rich and famous. While you initially had troubles due to your lower class family background, you've become something of a welcome breath of fresh air amongst the students of Maxwell. It helps that you demonstrated your abilities back when you were a freshman when some rich idiot tried to mess with you and your family.
[ ] Kaido Academy - It's tough being at Kaido Academy. It utilises a unique system in which the worst students in the school are placed in Class "E" and are forced to study in poor conditions compare to the rest of the students and are ridiculed and demeaned by both other students and faculty to serve as a driving motivation for every other student to strive for academic success. You're in class C but frankly, you're only here because your mother wants you to, in hopes that you'll enter a good university and be able to live a better life.
[ ] Ichiyama High - As a school full of violence and delinquency as well as teachers who aren't afraid to beat the shit out of any student stupid enough to go against them, Ichiyama is surprising a school where you fit right in. You've garnered something of a reputation here at Ichiyama as one of the top dogs though that has only resulted in other students trying to take you down to raise their own rep. Not to mention the constant recruitment attempts from the factions in the school. You hope that you can manage to at least do well academically here even if the teacher is more liable to go on a rampage rather than teach a class though.
And now last but possibly the most important part of this whole thing is what is it that gave you the powers that this story revolves around.
In recent weeks, strange rumours have been popping up all over the place. Monstrous figures have been sighted in the surrounding woodlands. People with supernatural powers have been seen helping people or abusing their abilities. Rumours of a vending machine that grants wishes near an old abandoned hotel if you had a special coin. All this and more is the result of the star crash that occurred that night one month ago.
And now you'll be discovering the truth behind these rumours.
What was it that lead to you obtaining power?
[ ] You found a yellow coin with a star symbol in the grass. It was warm to touch. Overhearing a rumour about a vending machine that would grant wishes in exchange for these coins, you decided to investigate. There you met someone that gave you a strange drink that they claimed would grant your desires in exchange for the coin. Gain the ability to transform into form based upon your desires. Mysterious power-granting drink in exchange for coins.
[ ] Something made some loud noises behind your apartment building and you went to check it out. All you found were pieces of broken clay surrounding a small glowing crystal shard in the middle. When you touched the crystal, there was a small flash and it disappeared, leaving your body feeling tingly for a little while before fading. Gain a random power. Grows most powerful and versatile as more shards are acquired.
[ ] You found what looked like a black and blue pokeball stuck in the drainage pipe on the roof of your building. There was a blinking yellow button on it and when you pressed it out of curiosity, there was a flash and weird creature appeared floating before you. Somehow imprinting on you, it began following you around. Nobody seems to be able to see it though which is good since it likes eating stuff, both organic and inorganic. Gain the ability to fuse with your partner for power. Grows based on what is fed to your partner

Just added some invisi-text that I forgot. Also the schools can be also described as followed.
North Rizen - Think your typical anime high school except bigger and a large varied student body.
Maxwell Academy - Think Ouran Academy, Shuchi'in Academy and other schools for the rich and famous.
Kaido Academy - Think Kunugigaoka Junior High School from assassination class and Fumizuki Academy from Baka to test to shoukanjuu with maybe less dickery, maybe.
Ichiyama High - Expy of Ichiyama high with crazier students of both male and female persuasion and badass teachers and principal.
