I mean, most of the OC's I see seems to have to strictly be part of Beacon or other Governments' academies to be able to unlock their auras, manipulate dust and learn their semblance.

What I'm asking is: Can an original character outside of the hunter's job, like, let's say a soldier, a cop or even a fighting loving dude who trained at his home, have the possibility to harness the humongus powers that all those institutions allows their students to learn?

Because, no offense, I begin to find all those hunters teenagers prodigies groups boring.
