"The Backbone to Any Good Hero."


Often working under the heroic agencies of bigger name heroes, sidekicks tend to come from lesser known hero schools but that doesn't make them any less important than the other heroes! They can fulfill important tasks related to the hero and often serve them during missions as backup or direct frontline support! There is an even-split demand for sidekicks that specialize in capture and those that specialize in rescue, meaning that there are often roles for anyone who wants to support in the way that they do best.

Most hero agencies cover jurisdiction within a specific portion of a major city, or serve roles that are best suited to their quirks examples being: marine hero agencies that specialize in naval affairs such as ocean poaching or illegal transits, nature hero agencies that specialize in affairs regarding natural locations such as forests and other places that the government wants protected and could prove at risk of being involved with illicit activities, and of course heroics hero agencies who's primary focus is the capture of villains and the rescue of civilians whose bases are often in major and minor cities depending on the hero in questions influence.

The hero to which your sidekick serves can be an existing hero on site or could be an NPC of your creation, though we ask that NPC heroes be checked over by a moderator as to be sure if they're good for use, we ask that NPC heroes be created within the NPC Index so that we can keep a firm list of existing major NPCs. Please follow the NPC rules when creating the hero your sidekick works for when you aren't using a player-controlled hero!

We understand not everyone will want to create a sidekick for a hero agency and so freelance sidekicks are an option as well! These sidekicks often don't serve individual heroes being able to freely work for whichever hero is in need of help during a given situation, and of course are free to pursue heroism on their own accord without having to have someone overseeing them. 

Sidekicks have hero licenses and are certified heroes, but aren't quite on the level of a professional hero. They are often made up of younger heroes or heroes who have just graduated from a lesser known heroic education school and are looking to make a name for themselves!

Balanced sidekicks are those that had a healthy balance of quick education and skill training within their hero school and are often those born with a quirk that had the potential to become a potent quirk once combined with their skills!

Quirk-focused sidekicks are those that were born with an extraordinary quirk and probably received personal training during their heroic educations course but that has left their other skills lacking due to the hyper-focus they had paid to their quirk during their hero classes.

Skill-focused sidekicks are those that were born with a more than lackluster quirk and probably were trained at a hero school that specialized in skill training as opposed to quirk training. Their weak quirks are supplemented by their immense skill in the fields they are proficient in, and serve many purposes to the heroes they work with.

               "Do you take action, or don't cha?! All you need to be a hero is the right                                  answer to that question!!"


Sometimes skirting on the edge of criminality is what's needed to get the job done, not those fancy theatrics they teach you in hero school. Vigilantes are the loose cannons of the heroics world and they spent more time fighting then they did worrying about a license. While vigilantes are morally frowned upon by the government who are worried about the consequences of such illicit activity, most heroes will often work with a vigilante as long as their hearts in the right place. It isn't uncommon to see vigilantes working alongside heroes in the heat of the moment only to be completely wiped from the story to protect all sides involved.

Starting vigilantes may have missed their bus to hero school and found themselves desperate to make a change. They're often aged similarly to a hero student but have been in at least a few fights with actual villains and criminals and have found themselves more hardened for it. Often they keep their identities more hidden as to prevent getting caught early, and aren't allowed to as proudly boast about their accomplishments than what a hero would be allowed to do. But that doesn't mean they aren't heroes in their own right, and sometimes this way of heroism can be the right path if your heart is in the right place, especially in this age of waning heroism.

Balanced vigilantes are those who's quirks and skills are perfectly aligned to help in the capture of villains, and often their skills and quirks were honed in battle with actual villains and criminals instead of just some lousy classroom.

Quirk-focused vigilantes were most likely born with a quirk that was practically made to be used for justice, or their quirk has been perfectly honed in combat against villains and criminals. They've seen their fair share of combat and they've become powerful because of it! Though their lack of skills tend to make them less versatile then their skill based and balanced counterparts.

Skill-focused vigilantes may not fallback onto their quirk but when it comes to versatility there are few more adept. They often find themselves at home in rescue situations where their wide-array of skills gives them an upper-hand compared to the average vigilante or one who's more focused on how to use their quirk. They may not have a powerful super power to fallback on but their giving it the best humanity has to offer!
