[Current Arc: ARC 1: Entrance Exam and Quirk Apprehension Test]
[Location: U.A. Main Building, Class 1-A, Morning]
The main building doesn't ease anyone in. Glass and concrete shaped into a fortress, hallways packed with gray uniforms and the low current of first-day nerves. Room 1-A's door is absurdly large for a classroom. It slides open without ceremony.
Twenty pairs of eyes move at once.
At the front, folded into a yellow sleeping bag behind the podium, is a man with long unwashed black hair and the expression of someone who hasn't slept since 2011. He unzips just enough to puncture a juice pouch with a straw. One eye opens.
"Transfer student." Flat. Not a greeting. He stands, the sleeping bag pooling at his feet. "Name and quirk. Don't editorialize."
The room holds its breath.
Uraraka offers a small nod from the middle row, expression open. Beside her Iida sits at perfect ninety-degree angles, pen already poised. Deku is leaning forward with the specific intensity of someone who catalogs everything.
Yaoyorozu watches with polite neutrality. Todoroki doesn't look up.
Jiro has one earphone jack wrapped around her finger — unconvinced rather than hostile. Kaminari is already grinning. Kirishima leans toward him, whispering. Mineta is already standing on his seat for a better look, expression nakedly appraising. Sero reaches over without looking and pushes him back down. Ashido's head is tilted, bright-eyed. Asui blinks once, slowly. Aoyama has a hand to his chin like he's appraising a painting. Tokoyami is unreadable. Shoji says nothing. Ojiro glances over once then returns to the board. Hagakure's uniform shifts, the seat isn't empty, just occupied by someone invisible.
From the back corner, feet on the desk, Bakugo stares with the flat contempt he seems to distribute freely and without preference.
Aizawa pulls from the juice pouch again.
"Sometime today."
Start with this opening

About

===WHAT IS THIS===
You're a first year student at UA. You enter into the class 1-A and join your classmates such as Deku, Bakugo, Uraraka, and Todoroki. They all have their own goals, little rivalries or tensions, their own reasons for existing. The friendships, rivalries, enemies, successes, and failures you make are your own to shape. This world has a timeline, hero society moves onwards while villains scheme in the background. The story doesn't need chasing, it'll find you.

Note: "Share any stories or things that you enjoyed in the comments. I check semi-frequently and would love to read how other people have been doing."

===MHA: WORLD LOREBOOK===
There is a lorebook for almost most of whatever happens or who is in the My Hero Academia world. Theyve been all hopefully optimized to save context/tokens, and theyre individually audited so its not all wasteful generic token slop.

In my infinite -tism, I decided to lookover, and do everyone single lorebook instead of saying "Go make a lorebook for all characters". The ARCs as well, are done over multiple...multiple revisions.

I should note, this follows a logical timeline, so theres times where it'll just be slice of life stuff. You could prompt to skip ahead basically. The majority of slice of life stuff is mostly pre Arc 7 or 8 according to the standard timeline.
===NOTES===
I edit this a lot. Anytime theres an update, 99% its gonna be with the lorebooks.

It mostly works, characters feel real, the world breathes, arcs unfold naturally. But it's still finding its feet. Expect occasional inconsistencies or the AI going a little off-script. That's normal-ish.
One known quirk: some AIs lose the thread of the lorebook over time. If things start feeling off or the story drifts, drop an [OOC: Header] to nudge it back in place.

[Current Arc: ARC #][Location]

Is actually essential for making sure this AI doesnt start getting too...creative and deviating from standard logic. It should appear once every 8 messages, or every message (ideally).

===WHAT TO EXPECT===
A UA experience that grows with you. Freedom within the walls of the most famous hero school in Japan. And, the canon story of MHA. See who you can save, who you cant. And what changes you'll make.

===AI RECOMMENDATIONS===
Deepseek: Has a mix of fandom and wiki training data, follows the lorebooks better (with reasoning) but the tone isn't as nuanced and immersive sometimes.

GLM: Has more fandom training data, does nuance, character voice, and immersive roleplay much better. But, you might have to call it out because itll just start being wrong because it pulled from someones fanfiction and not the wiki or my lorebooks. Or is straight up doesnt reason and goes off all rails.

Gemini: Has probably the most comprehensive or best wiki or lore accurate training data but will love to talk for you and make things up.

===WHAT ARE MY AI SETTINGS FOR ADVANCED USERS?===
Temp: 0.65
Top P: 09
Top K: 40
Min P: 0.05
Freq Pen: 0.3
Rep Pen: 1.1

Why so low temp? Because I have a fatass lorebook.

===IF YOUVE READ THIS FAR===
This card isn't perfect, its got things that mess up. Feedback GREATLY helps, ive done a lot of testing myself, but I would love to hear suggestions and or issues.

This is most definitely, quite a large and complex card.

===WHATS NEW?===
1.1: Added new greeting for post kamino ward, you'll skip a large amount of school life and getting to know your peers but itll drop you close to the action
1.2: Updated ARC 4 Sports Fest and Tourney
1.3: Keyword additions, core def addition with 1-B roster because AI would frequently forget or lump in a 1-A student into 1-B. Changed some weights. Should prevent AI from making some characters 1-B, biggest offender was Kirishima(due to his similarity to tetsutetsu).
1.4 Edited priority in core definition. How AI works is that it pulls ALL relevant data and applies it. Even spoilers. I needed stronger reinforcements because, while theres a lot of work being done so deku doesnt use blackwhip entrance exam and such, it will still spoil things that only happen in the last three arcs of MHA. Its a fandom and data presence bias that Ive been fighting against with this card.
1.5 Added some scene or locale transitions so AI doesnt do weird things. Also, some lorebooks had some redundant text, and deleted redundant lorebooks I missed.
1.55 Added Kaminari and Mineta friendship and...perverted schemes.
1.56 Added Hero Culture to reinforce ai to try to add nuance
1.6 Added a change to arc 7 to ensure a certain event hopefully triggers
1.61 Added Announcer rules to be ensemble and not like, one person exists ever in any event
1.7 Added training, narrative, and more day to day rules to improve flow.
1.71 Changed how the lorebooks are numbered in the main prompt and added some adherence to hopefully pull smugger AI into line. improved Ochaco.
1.8 Trying out a new main prompt as I update my own prompt settings, also edited Bakugos character thanks to Boroks observation
1.9 Changed Core Def a bit, cleaning it up, and as per some user requests, added some more greetings; a Arc 15 greeting, then two epilogue ones
