HAWKS PALACE
The process of entering the palace is... smooth. Painless.
You are falling, but it's not scary at the speed you're going. You drop through the pre-dawn sky like a feather, light and easy on a breeze, descending towards a bright and multicolored island in a sea of dark trees.
When you land, you are somewhere new.

My, heroes are rather exciting, aren't they.
[do any of the photos there stand out? she's sort of specifically looking for anyone who resembles Hawks in them, or anyone who looks important]
no subject
There ARE a couple of pictures that look like Hawks in the next exhibit over.
no subject
...Oh!
[is anyone in the museum going to yell at her if she picks them up or anything, she wants to get a good look at those photos]
no subject
The Hawks pictures are in the History of the Heroic Public Safety Commission section as well as the History's Greatest Villain section. The ones in this section (the HPSC history) mostly just label him as a professional Hero who works with the HPSC.
He looks pretty young in some of the photos. Maybe 18?

child soldiers are normal aren't they]A hero that monitors other heroes...That seems like a difficult job for such a young age.
[is there a blurb to go with it? SHE GOT DISTRACTED BY THE PHOTOS but she would read the blurb on the HPSC too]

This talks about how eventually, the most popular heroes were officially recognized by the government, which formed a division - the origin of the Heroic Public Safety Commission, or HPSC - to regulate and monitor hero activity.
The HPSC oversees hero qualification exams, issues hero licenses, maintains the biannual popularity rankings, and serves as an investigative board when a civilian has a complaint about the conduct of any particular professional hero or if there is suspicion that a hero hasn't been following protocol - for instance, while some violence is unavoidable in capturing villains, killing them is strictly prohibited.
Rarely, the HPSC will sponsor a young aspiring hero into a special training program. The resulting heroes will often work with the HPSC later in their careers to help advance their mutual goals.
(This is where the Hawks photos are).

This one talks about the life and times of All For One, a legendary villain. Born very early after quirks began to develop, his meta-ability - All For One, from which he took his name - allowed him to take and grant the abilities of others freely. This allowed him to gather great amounts of personal power, as well as a following - either through loyalty or through fear - that he could leverage to gain absolute control over the underbelly of society.
His reign persisted through several generations of heroes who lived and died fighting his influence, until it was finally broken by the current number one Hero - the HPSC's specially trained prodigy and the youngest professional hero ever to rank in the top 10 - Hawks - who defeated him in battle with the cooperation of the previous #1, Endeavor.
Today, AFO has been soundly defeated, and we finally live in a time of peace and prosperity!
no subject
whoa he's famous!]
Oh, my. He's really quite something...
[takes a photo of whatever picture of Hawks looks the coolest, tbh. probably one with his friend Endeavor, that seems like it would be nice!
and then she's going to head back outside to go look at the rides, with all of this knowledge tucked in the back of her mind as she goes]
no subject
Picking it up actually gives her a MEMORY. It's of a bloody, drawn-out battle. It's like dozens and dozens of chapters but the gist of it is that, you know, a lot of people get seriously injured and some people do not survive and Hawks at the very end fully decapitates this cackling villain to the mixed triumph and horror of the rest of his allies.
no subject
makes sure to set the photo back carefully, feelin' some kind of way about it]
no subject
When she puts the photo back, a red feather falls out from behind it.
no subject
[she catches the feather carefully in her hand, trying not to smush it]
...Ah.
[a Treasure??? holds it up to the light to see if it's like, shiny or magical or if it's just a feather. sometimes you just gotta Check]
