If you see the big not-quite-a-bird in the sky circling around please don't shoot.

I mean. You're not going to hit me, but it's kinda rude.

Also, I'm Hawks. If you need anything at all, just let me know.

[ oh. He didn't have to ask. Thst definitely means he's been asked plenty of times. ]

That makes sense I guess. Funny that they get called quirks, though. Kinda apropos.

So is it just flying then? Or am I being too personal.

[velocityraptor]

[ Yeah, he gets asked a lot. ]

Nah, you're fine. I'm a top ranked hero, my quirk is pretty public. It is the flying, I can also manipulate each of my feathers on their own. I can sharpen them into blades, and each of them can carry about two hundred pounds.

[ Those are his official specs. There's...other things. He'll keep those under his hat. ]

[bountyfull]

They give heroes ranks?

[ He's missing so much of the picture here. ]

Here I thought the name hero was given to people who did things because they were the right thing to do. Guess I've got a lot to learn...

That's what motivates most people to get into it, but once you're a professional they do a ranking every six months. The public casts their votes for their favourites, and that combined with your record is what determines your rank.

It's kind of like a fancy job evaluation.

I get the picture that's pretty unique to my world though, it confuses a lot of people. They treat top heroes like celebrities, but that part is the smallest part of the job. Most of it is helping people in need and stopping villains.
