Tokyo Mystery Riots
A murder?!
Tokyo 5 breaking news! We interrupt this coverage of the Tokyo Riots to bring you this emergency report! The U.S congressman visiting Japan, Elijah Rossi has been murdered! Police received a call recently that the congressman was murdered, his body was found charred in the government diet building. The police have the main culprit of the murder in a holding cell, a Quirker movement leader Akihiko Sutetchi who is known to have a Quirk and was last seen with the congressman before his untimely death.
Akihiko's Associates and other quirker sympathizers are claiming he is innocent as he would never wish harm on another person and that the true reason for the riots is the congressman's followers going to the streets and rallying Quirker vs Quirkist tensions in secret for his own agenda. His assistant is offering a cash reward to anyone who is willing to hunt for information that can lead to his innocence and finding the true culprit. However, matters are made more timely, as the US Officials plan to leave the country in light of this incident. Groups form to try and find what information they can, to find the truth before the most suspicious entities connected to the event can get away...

Medical Misconduct - Side Hero and Side Villain
Description: According to a claim made in a press release by his assistant, the heat generated from Akihiko's Quirk is not hot enough to actually burn someone's body to the severity that the congressman's body was found. Rumors and chatter has quickly spread through word of mouth and online, prompting several to try and investigate the truth to this claim. Some are affiliated with legal methods, others not so much. The fact that Akihiko's Quirk Registry entry has been temporarily redacted - supposedly to prevent tampering - raises quite the issue too...
Heroes are dispatched to investigate Akihiko's medical record and the autopsy report of the victim. However, they'll have to contend with resistance from Tokyo Hospital staff, who seem to have their own agenda in this...
Villains, meanwhile, will be attempting to break into private servers in the Hospital's lowest levels, usually accessible only to medical or governmental staff with the highest authority. There, they might find the classified Quirk registry record, but the heightened security within the hospital will certainly make things difficult!
With shadowy figures aiming to interfere with both groups, just what will they find?
Participants (Side Hero): Elise Von Eisenberg | Tobias Murakami | @victoriakendall | @selenahaymaker
Investigate the Hate
Description: According to some sources. one of the Congressmen's followers was seen leaving the building during the alleged time of the crime with a child in tow. He's now being seen riling up Quirkist by holding rallies in Tokyo park speaking out against pro heroes. This could be your chance to press him and some of his followers for some info regarding what happened. Your methods and affiliation will play a part in the information you get, of course, and one should be careful around the prying eyes of these riled-up Quirkists...
Participants: Aiden Gray | Gabriel Creed | Myrkul | Kasey Setsuna | Freya A. Valentine
What Happens in the Underground (Villain Exclusive)
Description: Elijah Rossi's personal security detail was conspicuously understaffed on the night of the murder, and many of the members have since become prime suspects. However, many have disappeared without a trace since the night of the crime. These members are key witnesses, as revealed in a report leaked to less savory types. Underworld rumors put a group of the members being last seen in The Underground, a haven for scum and villainy. As such, it is those same scum and villainy who are given the chance to pursue this lead, following the last known location in this shadowy place. What they do with what they find, and what jumps out at them from the shadows, is all up to their actions.

Raging Riots(Pro-Hero Exclusive)
Description: Tensions have escalated dramatically in the riots since the murder, but that doesn't seem to be the only cause. People are going all but feral, losing their sense of reason and turning many of the clashes between Quirkers and Quirkists violent. Yet, these aggressors soon claim to have no recollection of their own acts. Akihiko's assistant believes foul play is involved, and has pleaded for help from law enforcement. Regardless these people are gonna need to be pacified before you can get any info out of them. Pro Heroes will need to deal with the violent crowds, and try and determine the cause of the frenzies if possible!

Last Plane to America (Villain and Vigilante Exclusive)
Description: The rumors and whispers in the air have people concerned about the potential flight of US Officials. Some are already set to leave the country, on a plane that carries the body of the deceased Congressman. Political maneaveuring and accusations against the Japanese government have allowed them to take it after only a simple autopsy. But those not bound by the law might be able to investigate the private terminal where the plan is set to leave from, investigating the individuals implicated and even the body itself, should they be able to find it!
Participants: Seigi Touma | Shuichi Shiuchi | @aster | Eduardo Sapo
Tell no Tales
Description: The accused, Akihiko Sutechi, has quickly become the target of hate from Quirkists, but he still hes plenty of information to give about the murder. Currently being held in a specialized cell at a Tokyo MPD station in Nakano, keeping him alive while the investigations continue is vital. However, as rumors swell of attempts to attack the station, to seize Akihiko and put him down, it becomes even more imperative to keep him safe against these attacks. Don't let him be silenced!
