* CrapsackWorld: The 14 year old student hero is a war veteran. And the students are in the middle of two more insurgencies with omnicidal ambitions. The public is slowly heading down the stages of genocide and well, see below.

Every member of the class has some sort of issue or baggage associated with them, some of which is carried over from last year and some being new issues that cropped up in this year.

The first season has the bad guys on a winning streak and three student heroes are [[CharactersDroppingLikeFlies knocked out in short order]]. Further, the meta world takes Saint's death as a sign to do the opposite of what he worked for while yet another group has tearing down his legacy as an explicit objective.


Added DiffLines:

* HeroicFatigue: One big effect of modern hero work. [[spoiler: The Guardians accidentally exploit it to eliminate Zach and Yoko.]] The teachers only accelerate [[TheParagon Martin's]] fatigue, even while he's determined to remain a hero.

[[folder: An Age of Heroes...]]
[--It is an age of heroes. From the day the Saint was first seen in newsreels back in '39 all those years ago, there have always been heroes. For decades they've protected the world from superpowered criminals, mad scientists, nazi nitwits, alien invaders, and even the odd incursion from other dimensions. Regardless of their origins — whether they received their powers in some sort of accident, were born with their abilities, used tech to get by, or relied purely on their training and hard work — they have long vowed to protect the world and make it a better place.--] \\\

[--However, in recent years, things have changed. In times gone by, most heroes began their careers well into adulthood, with only the occasional sidekicks being the exception. But as the decades went on, more and more young heroes began receiving their powers or beginning their careers younger and younger, often without the proper training or maturity to properly use them or not get themselves hurt. Or worse. And so a solution was reached. Founded by Saint Solutions, a series of schools for young heroes in training was established across the globe. Now any young whippersnapper who wishes to become a hero or even just learn to control their powers goes to one of these schools. Staffed largely by experienced, older heroes, they're the best place to go for anyone who wishes to hone their skills and truly learn what it takes to become a hero.--] \\\

[--But the best of them all was none other than Saint Academy, located right in Super City, California. And it's President was none other than the original Superhero himself, The Saint. Blessed with great strength and speed as well as extended longevity, he still had a reputation as the world's greatest hero despite retiring long ago, but he nonetheless did his best to make the world a better place in his own way. And that included molding brave new heroes that could help continue to protect the world in his absence.--] \\\

[--Sadly, Saint's goal proved in a way to be prophetic. Several months ago, Saint fought valiantly to help protect Super City from a last desperate assault by Gaea, an organization dedicated to tearing the world apart by sparking anti-superhuman and non-human bigotry amongst the general population until a valiant group of students managed to stop them. But their efforts proved costly. Gaea lashed out in retaliation, and while they were stopped, Saint lost his life in the process.--] \\\

[--Without their greatest hero, the world is at a loss. Supervillains have started popping up out of the woodwork, eager to take advantage of the void left by Saint's absence. Some heroes have begun adopting a rougher, more violent approach, convinced that the Saint's more lenient methods won't cut it anymore. And while the destruction of Gaea has helped repair relations between humans and nonhumans, the loss of the world's premier symbol of peace is threatening to put them at odds once again.--] \\\

[--Thankfully, Saint had an answer to just that. Before he died, he was working on a means to give the many promising students at Saint Academy a means to further hone their experience and skills, as well as give older would-be heroes a chance to show what they were made of. In honor of his memory, the school staff did as he wished, rebranding the school Saint University and opening their doors to anyone wishing to learn how to be a hero. Little did Saint know just important Saint University would be. Because more than ever, the world is in need of heroes.--] \\\
