[quote]6) Are there permits that allow people those outside of heros, to use their quirks? It seems a waste to not allow someone with a healing quirk, not to use in a hosptial.[/quote]

This concept is pretty interesting.

My take is that the reason people need to go through a hero course to use their quirks is because it is during the hero courses that you physically train your quirk. Not just train to use the quirk better (although that is important), but to know the limits of the quirk, and more importantly, to recognize when something is beyond the limit of your quirk.

Uraraka as an example: why can't she just get a permit to use her quirk in construction? Because without training her quirk for years, she won't recognize when lifting something is beyond her, or she's getting fatigued, or she's unfocused, etc. And then you'd have a 30 ton piece of concrete come crashing down.

So could there be some sort of permit program? I would think so. Similar to irl night classes, or professional certification programs, something to get the proper amount of experience using your quirk to use it in whatever field. It would be cool to see something like that fleshed out.

Building on that... I would like to see Quirks in America being explored. Do you think the hero course-permit system would work here? The country is based on the philosophy of Natural Rights. You can easily see this extending to a right to use your quirk (as quirks could be seen as being "bestowed on you by your creator", to use the language of the Declaration)

Interesting to think about
