Custom Hero

The Custom Hero is a non-canon hero character who is the player's customizable character in One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows.

Appearance
The custom hero can have multiple appearances depending on what the player decides, from appearance to gender to voice. There are many different faces, hair styles and outfits available, many of which are direct references to other characters in the One-Punch Man universe.

Personality
The custom hero is a silent protagonist, and doesn't have much to say outside of battles other than standard "yes" and "no" options. The lack of speech is to resemble how the player going through the game would experience scenarios and give relatability throughout the story. Despite the lack of words, this character is heroic and is willing to help out other heroes.

One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows
The custom hero is the perspective from what the player goes through the first season of the anime's story line. There are even some moments that go through the second season of the anime's story for smaller details. Example being when the custom hero reaches B-Class, the Blizzard Group harasses you into joining them. This character's friend is a hero known as Lecture Man, who helps out the custom hero through out the start of their new heroic career.

This character can progress through the hero rankings fast within the story and get stronger by learning how to fight from the Training Monsterbot, then eventually leveling up after defeating Mysterious Beings and sparing with other heroes. The character also starts to follow Saitama around, wanting to learn from him. Though this causes a rivalry between the player and Genos.

Abilities and Powers
Starting at level 1, the character is very weak and has a hard time keeping up with Tiger level threats, though as you level up through out the game and progressing. This character eventually becomes level 99, the maximum level and in S-Class, this makes the custom hero the second strongest character in the game as they are able to defeat any character except Saitama. The custom hero has customizable abilities, being able to learn any style of fighting making them very powerful.
