STEP 2 - STUDENT RANKINGS

[Nominee's Name for #1]: Miku Hajimari
[Power]: I do not believe that power can only be the brutal strength that people want to see, albeit I have to say that Miku showing many forms of plant power has a strength in that as well, I mean who can make a tree in a matter of seconds, but not only that, she is someone who does not give up when she has something in mind, in a good way. As proven in the battle for the sports festival, she did not stop simply because someone wanted her to do so or because she had a setback, she simply found a solution for that moment and went on. You could see this as a stubbornness but I see it as simply knowing the capability of your power and mind. 
- Summary of the thread: Miku fighting within the Sports Festival tournament in a 1 vs 1 vs 1 against Rin and Darren, showing different sorts of power in strength and versatile side but also showing that she will not give up after a minor setback or a setback in general but trying to find smart solutions to the problem. 
truepath.boards.net/thread/3954/pvp-tournament-miku-darren-rin
[Teamwork]: Miku taught me as one of the first persons how teamwork can work out great. I did not have much great experiences with that but it worked out very well. Together we combined our strength to work out a rescue mission during Semper Fi, in one of the big water tanks to rescue people from a sunken ship. Even when we could not talk underwater until we reached the ship, it seemed to be go rather smooth if I can say so myself, which means that Miku shows effort to make things easy as much as she can. 
- Summary of the thread: Rescue mission during Semper Fi, where the two girls have to find a couple that is stranded on a sinking ship and get them back to the surface, they don't know how to communicate underwater but try to figure a way out before finally reaching the ship and get in, in which they need a strategy to find the victims and not alarm the bad men in there. 
truepath.boards.net/thread/1910/unsatisfied-method-rescue-miku-rowan?page=1&scrollTo=10596
[Personality]: When I first met Miku, I think she had this insecure side where she did not want to be in anyone their way or speak up to them afraid to hurt their feelings or be a disappointment. I think that through the months of school Miku has learned that she is allowed to speak up or shut down when she wants to, she doesn't have to force herself to talk to anyone if she doesn't want to or be careful with the words she uses because in general she is a nice girl who doesn't want to hurt anyone that she considers her friends or family as well as those she respects or care about in general. She is a caring person that yes wants to show that she is capable of doing whatever you ask from her. I do think she sometimes can be too harsh on herself but everyone can learn from that in their own ways and as she had developed and understood herself so much better in the months that I know her now, I can see a bright future for her because her personality is certainly how I see and aspire myself to be. Growth is something we should not understimate. 
- Summary of the thread: Both girls had not spoken in a long time because of Lady and try to figure out how to become basically friends again and talk about their issues, Miku has rather difficulty with this but learns or accepts to listen to Rowan before they continue on the old path of friendship. 
truepath.boards.net/thread/4280/order-depresso-vanilla-latte-rowan
[Versatility]: Miku's quirk seems to have no stop, in the fight I watched with her against Hino Yojin, there were various plants that she used, her smart idea to use a fanny pack to use dirt even in an area with only concrete shows that she is prepared and not only there to make trees and grass grow, she uses electric bulbs and other sorts of vines I have no name for, as well as in the other fight I watched, which as I like to point out again also shows her power, not only the brutal idea of strength but I think versatility is the most important thing to be able to use. 
- Summary of the thread: Miku fighting Yojin, showing strategy and sacrifice as well as many options of trying to find someone who seems to be prepared for her quirk and she won.

[Nominee's Name for #1]: Kirk Bluster
[Power]: Pointing out that Kirk made it very far into the tournament at the sports festival feels like a bit of an obvious thing, I met Kirk through several meetings and he simply shows a willingness to show his best side, within power of his quirk or simply strength. 
- Summary of the thread: Kirk fights Tetsuko, really? Need more? It's the semi-finals. Keeping up with the movements of Tetsuko...? Showing the power in his moves and what he performs in the post.  
truepath.boards.net/thread/4513/tournament-finals-bluster-shindou-tetsuko
[Teamwork]: It takes team work to be able to form a football team, to show effort for wanting to recruit and support people but also to play with said team and have fun, I believe as I watched Kirk on the first match that he certainly seemed to have fun and worked well with the students who played in the team with him. 
- Summary of the thread: Being the captain of the sports team and showing support in playing the football match, being actively part of it. truepath.boards.net/thread/3448/kick-off-itagakuen-yuuei-fc?page=1&scrollTo=24032
[Personality]: I for a fact feel that Kirk cares a lot about people, always trying to show a positive side and a happy feeling about meeting up and trying to inspire, that's how it felt for me when we discussed matters at hand during the summer break, but not only at that point, through out my meetings with Kirk, with just the two of us, I have never seen him down or upset and always trying to find a solution that makes everyone happy or at least be a start of something of a great idea. He shows kindness and a listening ear for those who need it and of course a lot of motivation and cheer. 
- Summary of the thread: They have a short conversation about the future of their clubs and what to do to attract more club members, Rowan shows her desperate side with the not so active cheerleaders as she wished to have and Kirk showing support by suggesting options of what to do and trying to literally cheer her up.
truepath.boards.net/thread/4347/out-time-kirk-rowan 
[Versatility]: Kirk showing not only the capacity of running and so on which is important for sports that fits his quirk but also being able to perform multiple forms of sports, I dare say he found his hobby and is able to use that in the most versatile way for his quirk which only makes him better at it, because it is something he likes to do and thus likes to get better at. It doesn't seem to be only a thing based on motivation for school or quirk but something he genuinely finds fun to do so. 
- Summary of the thread: Kirk works together with Jace to form a team to defeat the English Cavalry team, showing sportsmanship and teamwork together with Jace to defeat them.

[Nominee's Name for #1]: Rowan Sakamoto
[Power]: I think the strong point that I used within the Cavalry battle at the Sports festival is showing tactics combined with my quirk. I find it sometimes difficult to use my quirk or ability to burn because I do not want to hurt people, so the combination of finding this is something that has a very thin line to do so. Combining to more surprise the German duo than actually hurt them was my plan to get the band that was suppose to give us more points and not forgetting that you are not alone and depending and trusting Haru, I do not think power alone is that important but to understand how it works and what the limits are to not be afraid to depend on others or better said to work together to make it a successful attempt is of importance as well. Thanks to this battle I want to say I learn more of what those limits are, when considering my quirk and I definitely learned more of what I can and cannot do. 
- Summary of the thread: Forming a team with Haru to form a direct attack on the German girls, she was harsh and direct, based on the split persona from Lady and Rowan. Showing a lot of fire power in that matter. 
truepath.boards.net/thread/3801/finale-cavalry-group-vis-germans
[Teamwork]: Right before the sports-festival I decided to approach Farrah to set up the cheerleaders and work hard to be able to cheer (pep rally) for the students during the festival, we worked hard together to come up with a routine and a dance and show with that teamwork, I can't be a captain if the team doesn't want me and when I first met the girls and boy that signed up I made it clear that I understand we have a busy school life and friends and did not demand a lot from them, I just wanted everyone to be enthusiastic about meeting up and understanding that for cheerleaders training is necessary. 
- Summary of the thread: First meeting up with the cheerleaders were Rowan also points out what she expects from them, which is trying to show up as many times as they can and promising not to kick them out when they are busy with something else. She shows charisma and leadership by taking on the idea of writing down the colours and sizes to make the uniforms for the cheerleaders and is glad and flatter when they point out its okay that she is the captain. 
truepath.boards.net/thread/3495/sleep-cheer-repeat-cheerleader-squad
[Personality]: As some of the teachers may know already I had some issue with understanding who I am and what to do about that, I try very well to put my best self forward and hold on to that, I volunteered to talk to some of the new students to give them some insights about U.A. and what they should expect. Trying to show a helpful and patient side of mine as well as kind and motivating. In case of Levin-kun who seemed worried about the academic side I even offered to help him with that if he needed extra tutoring. Not only that but I hoped that they simply were inspired and had a great day. I, myself, try to see the sunnier side of things and to take a step every day with understanding my quirk and trying to get better with using it. 
- Summary of the thread: Rowan applied for a senpai-kouhai (I dunno man) sort of thing where she would talk to a potential first year that was not sure yet about U.A. and how it worked, she bumped into Sapphira during that conversation and told the two of them what to expect and what information she could give about U.A. Teaching them bits (like quirk use in public) and so on, while withstanding the flirting of Isaac (yes Videns made me add this).
truepath.boards.net/thread/4224/wildest-dreams-isaac-sapphira-rowan
[Versatility]: While trying to understand the danger and limits of my quirk, I did not only depend on it during the sports festival, I tried to use the strength I have as well as the ability of my kicks and quirk. Showing different aspects of my fighting style as well as tactic and versatile side. 
- Summary of the thread: Fighting the german twin off by trying to use her quirk to distract them, accidentally burning hair (from Rowan's point of view) but also trying to kick the upper girl off and trying to win higher ground. 
truepath.boards.net/thread/3801/finale-cavalry-group-vis-germans

[Nominee's Name for #1]: Kirk Bluster
[Power]: Kirk is quite the capable combatant, coupled with considerable determination and mental fortitude. His skills with his fairly unassuming Quirk allowed him to reach the semi-finals in the UA combat tournament, his perseverance and unwavering attitude allowing him to stand up against some real heavy hitters in UA, including myself. He's a real hidden powerhouse when it comes to UA's top fighters.

- Summary of the thread:
Tetsuko and Kirk's fight during the semi-finals, in which Kirk puts up a strong show against Tetsuko, using his equipment, skills and raw power to almost defeat her in close range combat.
truepath.boards.net/thread/4513/tournament-finals-bluster-shindou-tetsuko?page=1&scrollTo=33605

[Teamwork]: One need only look as far as Kirk's captaincy of the UA sports club to see his capabilities in a team and as a leader. It seems a strange comparison to make, but I believe his ability to unite the club and become its uncontested leader is a great demonstration of just how excellent Kirk is at promoting morale in those around him, as well as his ability to work alongside them towards a common goal.

- Summary of the thread:
Kirk is unanimously made the leader of the sports club's soccer team, and works alongside his teammates throughout the match, encouraging them as they readily rally beside him.
truepath.boards.net/thread/3448/kick-off-itagakuen-yuuei-fc?page=2

[Personality]: Though some consider Kirk a bit on the... Simpler... Side of things, the truth is that he's quite clever when he needs to be, shown before in his combat abilities. What's more, he's got a surprisingly level head, able to keep his cool and keep the sports club booth running despite a certain unwanted intrusion. He's a kind guy, one who earnestly wants the best for his friends, and is excellent at motivating and encouraging others to be the best that they can be.

- Summary of the thread:
Kirk runs a sports festival booth in which he is very welcoming and encouraging to all who enter, regardless of their perceived physical ability. He also managed to prevent any situations from arising in spite of the arrival of Maxi.

truepath.boards.net/thread/3560/sports-club-booth-point-tetsuko

[Versatility]: Kirk might seem straightforward, but his inventiveness with his own Quirk and natural tendency towards team-based operations - thanks to his sports ability - makes him a naturally flexible Hero. His capability in combat is not restricted to being a bruiser, and has shown an ability to act in a supportive role as well, particularly with that pouch of his.

- Summary of the thread:
Kirk uses his pouch to support the much shyer Jace during the cavalry battle, showing his natural adaptability to certain roles.

truepath.boards.net/thread/3803/finale-cavalry-group-bishies-bishie?page=3&scrollTo=34740

[Nominee's Name for #2]: Elise von Eisenberg
[Power]: Elise displays both mental and physical fortitude in the face of incredible hardship, surviving through a coma and even having the willpower to stand up to the villain responsible for her parents' deaths. Her incredible mental endurance cannot be understated, nor can her physical ability, as Elise has shown to be a combatant of considerable wit and capability. She's trained hard to be able to stand against her peers, and even has the honor and capacity to stand against myself readily, as was evident during one of our combat lessons.

- Summary of the thread: Elise fights against Tetsuko during the CTF training exercise, putting up a very good fight despite having only recently awakened from her coma.

- Summary of the thread: Elise guides the group through the Semper Fi event with strong coordination and cooperation. She's even willing to save the life of one of the soldiers, as part of their best interests.

[Personality]: Elise is a kind hearted and considerate girl, there isn't much more to say there. She's intelligent and wise, with a great understanding of others instilled by the medical discipline she pursues. She's been a personal beacon of support, someone who I can always rely on to seek the best for myself and others. Her own dedication to justice and fairness is indeed the most necessary trait a Hero could have.

- Summary of the thread: Elise explores her deep concern for the state of heroics with a fellow teacher, in the beginning of events that would lead her to have a large role in the disciplinary committee. She displays her desire for justice, fairness, and true heroism as a guiding light.
truepath.boards.net/thread/4364/protecting-spirit-true-heroism-junko

[Versatility]: Versatility is, perhaps, Elise's most unique strong point. Her ability to understand and collect different disciplines is nothing short of staggering, possessing not only great strategic skill, but also great ability in the art of medicine and other physical arts. Her genius is applied to many fields, making her able to fill any role that she needs,  quite the incredible asset to be sure. She can be so much, and above all else, remains a guardian angel.

[Nominee's Name for #1]: Risaka Reinacht

[Power]: Risaka Reinacht can be often described as a power house in many cases, despite being a very straight forward quirk she uses it for every situation that requires overwhelming measures. With an early C ranked strenght, durability and speed she was always using it to gain the upperhand, but yet she didn't rely on it on every case, to her it's a tool among many other tools she has. The real strength in Risaka is her focus on strategic usage, since her quirk was very limited in time she needed to play smart. In terms of raw power she has done a bunch of remarkable actions to display her strength.

- Summary of the thread: A big case of her overwhelming strenght was in a Payload lesson with Geist, her and three others in a team versus four fellow students, she was on the assault side and needed to rescure dummies from the cart before it reached the end. She saved two by outspeeding her opponents in the midst of chaos, and slammed their 'claimed' team leader through two buildings, aswell as acting like a sponge for damage at the start.
truepath.boards.net/thread/3334/combat-lesson-mannequin-madness?page=1&scrollTo=21935

[Teamwork]: Risaka is not the typical kind to go for cooperation as first choice, she relies in her own abilities at first, but that doesn't disclose her from doing decent work with others when a solid opportunity is presented. Her quirk rarely goes well with others. She's a powerhouse that absurd stats, if someone can present a good addition to those individual stats then she is more than willing to take the chance.

- Summary of the thread: In a Sports Festival mtch she was paired up with Melody Miro against a duo from the Canadian Hero School. At first it was clear Risaka didn't have the intention to go full cooperation with Melody, but in an intense hopeless situation it cornerd both Risaka and Melody to work together to combine their strengths to ovbercome the duo opponent, both taking use of their greatest traits.
truepath.boards.net/thread/3802/finale-cavalry-group-canadians-eh?page=1&scrollTo=25497

[Personality]: Truth be told, Risaka is horrible with social circumstances, she's not very fond of overly emotional people and definitely can't show her own without making ugly stares. Mostly everyone knows her as a grumpy, bitter, monochrome girl with a mean fist, but there are certain few that has seen a more dlicate side of her. Risaka doesn't show emotion to not display her weaknesses, instead she only shows her emotions when it matters, in her eyes at least.

- Summary of the thread: She didn't know Relena for too long, but there was something she understood from the blonde girl, in a moment of despair Risaka was the one to offer help to the blonde, despite being the known grumpy girl Relena accepted it, something that Risaka took to heart, from there opening up a whole lot more to the blonde. Risaka has the potential to be a fine hero, she only needs fellow positive people around her, she's been in the negative space for so long.
truepath.boards.net/thread/3988/half-truths-cake?page=1&scrollTo=27659

[Versatility]: Risaka always make sure she is taken seriously and forward, she is not the kind to joke, nor try to make friendly talk with more important manners in the way, which is why she quickly adapts to harsh situations on the spot. She knows her limits and doesn't do risky stuff for the looks. She's a strategist, taking use of the resources around here, and potentially cooperating with people who she can put her trust on.

- Summary of the thread: In a horrifying event she was in the middle of the hot zone. She and three other students was cornered and under fire from every direction, they got aided by a group of soldiers to take down the enemy, but things quickly turned grim when they were up against a literal military tank. They didn't have the ammunition nor the power to take out such a monstrosity, Risaka took the opportunity to use her quirk to swiftly frag the tank, among armed soldiers with little to no protection. She knew she was the only one who could do such a dangerous act, if no one else can then she will.

[Nominee's Name for #1]: Myself, the great Daimon Darren
[Power]: Listen here, fools. When y'all think of "power", you think big explosion, tremendous electrical discharges, torrents of blood, punch that can level a building. Y'all dead wrong. All that power ain't worth shit if you can't land a hit. All that power ain't worth shit if you gotta break yourself to use it. If you think a hero who blocks a haymaker with his face as a badass, you're a fookin idiot. A real badass slips and counters. Strength and toughness are one thing, aye, but what makes or break a fighter is speed, mobility, technique, stamina, in other words, the ability to hit without getting hit. Tyson wasn't a legend because he punched hard, he was a legend because he punched hard and fast and no one saw it comin'. And that's what I do. Ain't no one in this god damn school better at taking down a buncha villains than me, ya hear?!

- Summary of the thread: truepath.boards.net/thread/3732/pvp-tournament-blue-spark-sparks Darren's best showcase of his skill so far; when up against an opponent who can hit harder than he does, and from a range to boot, he's fast enough and can shrug off enough hits to close in and put down his opponent with a hundred punches.

[Teamwork]: Yall say I can't work in a team? Buncha dumbasses, check yo info before you open yo damn mouth. I play in the football team. I even made the decisive pass to Ryu for our first goal! If that's not selfless teamwork, I ain't know what is! What's that? Capture the flag thread? ignore that if you value your life

- Summary of the thread: truepath.boards.net/thread/3448/kick-off-itagakuen-yuuei-fc Football match, Darren shouts a lot and despite playing a bit personal (he didn't exactly set up the decisive pass for Ryuusei as he claims), he knows to be grateful for a good cross.

[Personality]: Y'all say I have a shit personality. I say fuck you, my job is to save people, not smile and be a candy-ass motherfucker for TV. While y'all wasting your time being endearing, I pick up your slack and train the newbies in the martial arts club. They even say I'm a good teacher, so there. Go back to your damn cooking club, normies

- Summary of the thread: truepath.boards.net/thread/4595/early-bird-catches-mentor-darren teaching a newbie students how to use their quirk along with their martial arts

[Versatility]: Listen here, that's the thing I take offense to the most, when I hear dumbasses sayin' I'm only ever good for fightin'. Bitch, wash your eyes with bleach. First of all, unlike some others, my strongest attacks don't level the buildin' I'm in. Very little collateral with a punch or a kick, so I don't endanger civilians nearly as much as some of the other fools do. Second of all, nonlethal force. Self explanatory. Ain't have to worry about no gory accidents with me, I ain't blowing no limbs off my opponents. If y'all think I'm only ever good in a big fight, you're an idiot. I excel in hostage rescue scenarios and chirurgical strikes, AND I can temporize against a big goon.

Third of all, speed, motherfuckers! I'm the fastest hero in this goddamn school and y'all better get your heads out your asses and realizes that counts for somethin'. Gettin' to the crime scene first, catching them people falling from buildings in time, cuttin' the dangerous mid-city villain chases short, all that shit counts. "Oh but Darren you're rude" shut the fuck up you candy-ass dickhead, literally nobody cares when they're fallin' to their death

- Summary of the thread: truepath.boards.net/thread/1886/holy-shark-eats-people-darren Darren happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, for real: a sharkman just rose from the bloody ground when he was jogging in Tokyo Park. As the situation was too dangerous to fight (read: he would have risked getting expelled), he stayed at a distance and distracted the beast and swooped in to save a cop



[Nominee's Name for #1]: Igarashi Ryuusei
[Power]: Same shit as me, only worse because he hides it. You see Ryuusei and you think "here's a scrawny ass motherfucker, i bet I can kick his ass" and boom, before you know it, he forced you into a ground fight and he carries a knife with him, and he knows how to use it. And that's if you see him, cause he can turn invisible and fuck you up without you even realizin' it. Kek @ power noobs getting stabbed in the back and they can't do shit about it lmao, get rekt fuckheads, learn some technique, your dumbass quirk ain't all there is to fightin'

- Summary of the thread: truepath.boards.net/thread/2135/cutting-slicing-darren back in semper fi, fought darren to a close quirkless match

[Teamwork]: He's a prick on the pitch, but I hear he's a good leader on the field. I wouldn't know too much about that, ain't ever got the chance to team up with my boye, but I hear he did a good job at Semper Fi.

- Summary of the thread: truepath.boards.net/thread/2351/antidotes-death-throes-event i don't even know much about this thread myself, but i know he led people in here and was cool and good tm.

[Personality]: Okay, that's where he pisses me off. I mean, not entirely. He's a good dude, but when he goes with that fookin "mmmh i'm so cool and special and mysterious i don't even need to make an effort mmm yeeeeees i'm so 3dg7" he's a real fuckin prick and his face gets 300% more slappable. When he shuts the fuck up with that though, he's pretty fun to be around, and much less of a candy ass motherfucker than the average UA goon, which is three pluses in my book.

- Summary of the thread: truepath.boards.net/thread/3448/kick-off-itagakuen-yuuei-fc "oh look at me i'm ryuusei i'm so cool i don't even need to make an effort"

[Versatility]: I ain't gonna lie, he's probably better than me at everything I listed if you give him time. I may be quicker, but if we send him in a hostage situation or a chirurgical strike, the villains literally won't even know what hit them. Not only that, he's one of them smart detective boys and he can figure shit out better than I can. I guess he likes it. Either way, he can do shit no one else can and then some. You can be sure as hell I ain't ever deleting his number when I turn pro.

- Summary of the thread: truepath.boards.net/thread/1429/students-investigations-darren-ryuusei-janitor Inspector Ryuusei on the case, Darren is more of a distracting police dog in there tbqh
