Hero Network
ItemShortened to HN, the Hero Network is the professional back channel of the hero industry: an online service locked behind a license, holding activity reports from across the country and letting one hero call in another whose Quirk suits the job.
Overview
The Hero Network, commonly shortened to HN, is the online system through which Pro Heroes reach one another. Getting in requires a Professional Hero License, which keeps the service closed to the public.
Function
Activity reports filed by professionals nationwide are stored on the service. A hero working a case can also put out a request for backup, specifically seeking someone whose Quirk fits what the job demands.
The database is not limited to the hero side of the ledger. Villain names and the Quirks attached to them can be looked up through it as well.
