Pisay Heroes is a collective fanfiction of Heroes by authors from Philippine Science High School: David Ples, Rebecca Yu, and Benny Almirol. Two other co-authors and friends have started writing their own seasons as well.

The premise is simple: one day, the original author decided to make a fanfiction of Heroes, which incorporates his classmates into the story. Ever since then, the work has continued for three years (the authors are currently at fourth year in high school).

The genre is currently unclear, as it straddles the line between a Self Insert Fic and an Elsewhere Fic.

The series currently has four seasons, three of which have concluded, and three supplemental seasons. The four seasons have been authored by David Ples, with Rebecca Yu and Benny Almirol co-authoring the following three seasons. Two other extra seasons are being published by different authors.

The Series continuity includes:

 * Garnet Heroes, the first season of the series. The season introduces 30 different characters, all with posthuman abilities (and was prone to What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway as a result). The plot involves a branch of the Company in the Philippines ran by David. A villain named Micah suddenly appears to wreak havoc on the Company, recruiting other posthumans as well, including Dindo, a drug-addicted arsonist, Migs, a scientist, and Jerson, a mayor from Palawan. First episode can be found here: http://garnetonse.multiply.com/journal/item/1/
 * Champions is the continuation of the first season, and it introduces 25 more characters to the main story line. The story now features characters without powers. The plot involves The Collector, Andro, who plans to collect posthumans for his great collection, and Iego, who Came Back Wrong and is now seeking revenge on David. The first episode is here: http://garnetonse.multiply.com/journal/item/36/Champions_Ep_1
 * Equinox is the third season, following the conclusion of Champions, and introduces 15 more characters to the canon. The plot involves Shaula, who is convinced that she is the herald of an Eldritch Abomination that will bring about The End of the World As We Know It and her various attempts to shun the said abomination, but ultimately fails. The other major plot revolves around Dr. Burdeos, who attempts to create a bacteria that will enhance the gland that provides human abilities, but instead the bacteria started to attack the gland, causing the resultant powers to become malignant. And the bacteria becomes contagious. First episode can be found here: http://garnetonse.multiply.com/journal/item/68/Equinox_Episode_1
 * Season Of Reckoning is the final season, which features a carnival that invites posthumans to join their circle. So far, the season is at its 7th episode. The first episode is here: http://garnetonse.multiply.com/journal/item/103/Season_of_Reckoning_-_Episode_1

The extra seasons (which are still canon, but by different authors) include:

 * Jasmin Heroes, the remake of which has now begun here: http://jirachiwishmaker.multiply.com/journal/item/208/Jasmin_Heroes_Remake_Episode_1
 * Revenant Blight, which occurs sometime after the aforementioned season and ends at around the same time after the sixth episode of Season Of Reckoning. The story shifts to a branch of the Company in Palawan, involving a third scientist that wants to turn all normal humans into posthumans. First episode is here: http://jirachiwishmaker.multiply.com/journal/item/169
 * Crumbling Sanctuary, which occurs after Equinox. It details the aftermath of the Cliff Hanger ending of Equinox. Currently at its 9th episode. First episode is here: http://chuckiepedia.multiply.com/journal/item/84/Cesium_Heroes_Crumbling_Sanctuary_Episode_1
 * Two other seasons are currently in production by different authors.

A word of note: these are REAL PEOPLE in a FICTIONAL STORY. The characters that represent these people may or may not be accurate representations of the real deal. You Have Been Warned.
