BANSHŌ

Banshō [Setting Sun] is an agency with roots back to the inception of Pro Heroes. This agency is all about efficiency, efficiency, efficiency! Their track record speaks for itself, with some of the highest success rates in villain capture and emergency resolutions. Surprisingly, those fixations on getting the job done above anything don't result in a lack of ethics, as members are very much aligned on the side of good. They suffer a bit in popularity as many members aren't sociable or can be awkward, yet Banshō remains a pillar of the community! Maybe more so than you think, as Banshō has a subdivision called...

IN'EI

In'ei is a faint dimness where the presence of light can be felt.

To the hero industry and the public, In'ei technically doesn't exist. It functions as a collection of specialized individuals who have either formally resigned themselves from the active duty of the Bansho or other Agencies or are notable recruits who are headhunted. However, ultimately, all still operate on Bansho's behalf, with their true loyalty never in question.

Banshō Mission Statement

Banshō will always put the lives of innocents first. We will do what is fair and honest when enacting justice, and no job is too difficult. Banshō always gets results.

In'ei Mission Statement

Members of In'ei are Black Ops/Deep Cover Heroes who are allowed the freedom to operate as agents of any faction and can move and act as they please without repercussion, meaning they can take on missions that are unusually dangerous or would otherwise require clearance and a notification. In return, any members of Banshō and the Hero Association aware of their status assume no responsibility for their actions. They can disavow or cut off any member anytime if they become a liability. If you're a member of In'ei, you forfeit your life as a normal person, and only in the most pressing circumstances will you be allowed to return to active duty.

BANSHŌ MEMBERS

	Taira Tsuneo aka. Truthteller Pro Hero, Leader (NPC) The stern leader of Bansho. A man praised for his level-headedness, efficiency, and stalwart views on how Pro Heroes should act, there is no one better suited to lead Bansho into the future! His quirk, Truthteller, allows him to identify lies whenever someone answers a question (his or otherwise).
	Kido Tetsuo aka. Crimson Commander Pro Hero (NPC) A hardboiled, no-nonsense, former professional kickboxer recruited to Bansho specifically for his combat abilities. The public named him Crimson Commander for his ability to ignite his whole body and turn into a living flame.
	Ismini Demetria aka. Athena Pro Hero/Teacher at UAU (NPC) Ismini, who is better known as Athena, is a transplant from Greece. She splits her time between Bansho and UAU, where she reports back on students who show skills that would suit their agency. She is friendly, courageous, and an expert when it comes to evacuation during crises due to her quirk 'Dauntless Shield.'
	Kido Satoshi aka. Flint 4th Year Hero Student (Intern) The adult son of the Crimson Commander, Satoshi, is a bit of a punk. Having interned at Bansho since he first received his provisional license, he was recruited to learn some proper discipline at the behest of his father. His quirk, Dragontooth, allows him to manifest a metal wand that allows him to control fire.
	Ylva Riis aka. Gungnir 3rd Year Hero Student (Intern) Ylva Riis is a Third Year at UAU in the hero department. She is tenacious, fearless, and confident, having been recruited by Bansho to keep an eye on her partially because of her reputation from her Shiketsu days and partially due to her track record of producing results over anything else. She doesn't like small talk.

IN'EI MEMBERS

	Kumojiki [Shūrin] "Villain"/Arms Dealer (NPC) Shūrin, who is more commonly known as Kumojiki [e.g., Cloud Eating Demon], is a somewhat infamous "villain" who specializes in Arms Deals and the import/distribution of rare arms around Tokyo. He is known for his ruthless business tactics and is the type to keep his ear to the ground. Just like the rest of In'ei he is an undercover agent who shares information through the proper channels in order to "squash" his "competition"
	Yaeko "Civilian"/Medical Clinic Owner (NPC) The woman, only known as Yaeko, is an underworld doctor who owns a clinic out of Shinjuku. If you operate outside the law and need medical care, you go to Yaeko. The only thing she requests in return is money or information, particularly the kind she can use to build her practice further and line her pockets. She gives free medical care to any member of In'ei as long as they know the correct code of the day.
	Chi-Chi "the Miracle" "Vigilante" (NPC) Chi-Chi is a firecracker who fights crime day in and day out! Some call her harmless, others a public menace, as her quirk, Bug Out, can cause a lot of collateral damage. Luckily this collateral damage never involves people! She works as an advance scout for In'ei reporting on the movements of villains and particularly nasty vigilantes when out on one of her solo adventures.
