[OOC] Quirky Heroes (Superhero/Comedy)

Quirky Heroes
A My Hero Academia Roleplay
This is the OOC Thread!

An Obligatory Introduction!

Long ago, in the city of Qing Qing, China, a baby was born. From day one, the baby was glowing, literally! From there, an innumerable amount of similar occurrences were reported. In the present day, at least 80% of Humanity possesses a special, superhuman ability. These abilities are universally known as "Quirks". In the early days of this new era, society was chaotic, having suddenly been flooded with super-powered criminals. As chaos continued to plague society, ordinary civilians had decided to take matters into their own hands and the first real "Heroes" were created.

As society adapted to the new status quo, regulations were put in place. Since then, only "Pro Heroes" have been allowed to utilise their Quirks.

How might one become a Pro Hero? Well, you'd have to attend a school or academy dedicated to the practice. While many exist across the world, the most famous is "U.A High", located in Musutafu, a city not too far from Tokyo.

For the most part, this roleplay is focused on the latest batch students in U.A High's Class 1-A, though student from other classes, teachers, pro heroes and even villains are welcome.

Types of Quirks

Emitter

Emitter-type Quirks are abilities that allow their users to generate and possibly control certain things or alter existing things around them in certain ways. Emitter-type Quirks can have a wide variety of different properties and abilities. In addition, some Quirks may require a conscious effort to activate and possibly large amounts of concentration to maintain activity. Emission-type Quirks can have varying ranges; While some users may need physical contact to use them, others can have longer ranges with no distance limitations. For the most part, Emitter-type Quirk users have a firm grip on their abilities, though some individuals may hurt themselves through over-usage.

By a wide margin, Emitter-type Quirks are the most common.

Mutant

Mutant-type Quirks cause the user to possess a permanent "abnormality" that is directly related to their abilities, manifesting as varying bodily structures such as additional appendages, or the ability to add structures to enhance preexisting abilities. Some Mutant-type Quirks can even have certain aspects channelled in a similar manner to Emitter-type Quirks. Mutant-type Quirks are also the only known Quirk type that can be passed down through generations without necessarily bestowing the corresponding ability. In addition, Mutant-type Quirks can never be switched off. However, some Mutant-type Quirks may prove to be inconvenient in day-to-day life. They are the most recognisable Quirks, simply due to their passive activity.

Transformation

Transformation-type Quirks are abilities that cause the user to take on a temporary alteration of some kind, whether it's by enhancing, removing or even adding features to the body. They typically require conscious effort to activate though most users can train themselves to activate their Quirks reflexively. However, most Transformation-type Quirks are only effective at close range. While powerful, they are often temporary and over-exertion can negatively effect the user. They can also be limited based on the body's resilience and resources.

Transformation-type Quirks are sometimes referred to as "Hybrid" or "Composite", as they are essentially a combination of the other two types.

While most Transformation-type Quirks only affect the user, some can affect others, though this is rare.

Known Sub-types

Accumulation

Some Quirks require that the user accumulate a particular resource in advance, such as energy, mass or power. As such, some Quirks are also referred to as "Accumulation-type". Without the necessary resources, these Quirks are generally weakened, if-not useless.

The Rules

• Godmodding, Meta-gaming, all that fluff isn't allowed.
• Keep it PG-13. NSFW Roleplay is not allowed on NationStates, not even in telegrams.
• Try to keep flame wars to an absolute minimum, to which I mean don't start them at all, please.
• Creativity is welcome and appreciated, I expect the majority of the Quirks seen in this roleplay to be custom anyways (ask for permission to use quirks similar to half hot half cold).
• If you want a Quirk seen in the source material though, it'd make most sense that your character is descended from it's original user, so ask permission! (Note: Nobody is allowed to use One for All or All for One.)
• Even animals can have Quirks, though that's an incredibly rare phenomenon. So yes, you CAN roleplay as an intelligent animal with a Quirk.
• Minimum 3 lines for roleplay posts, please!
• Keep OOC to OOC Thread, IC to IC thread.
• Have fun! I'm not joking, fun is MANDATORY.

I've been waiting for one of these to pop up, I'll make a character soon.

[Asardia]

QUIRKY HEROES: THE APPLICATION

Name: Lishan Deresai
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Blood Type: Type A
Appearance: I couldn't find a picture I liked, so here's the description: A black teenager with brown braided hair and brown eyes. He has a notable scar on his forehead (which he received from falling and hitting his head).

Bio: Lishan was born in Ethiopia and spent much of his early years there. He grew up in the relatively small city of Arba Minch, home to about 200,000 people. Lishan and his parents loved to travel to the nearby forests and lakes, where they would sit and laugh while watching the natural wildlife of the country. It was also on one of these trips that Lishan discovered his quirk. Instead of the close national parks, Lishan's family went all the way north to Lake Tana, where he came across some Yellow-Fronted Parrots as they were flying away from a tree. Being only 4 years old, Lishan moved his hand upwards to try to grab them, thinking they were just like pets. As they approached him, he noticed they suddenly slowed down and nearly came to a complete stop before continuing onward. Instances like this one became more common over the next few years, and when family members mentioned the idea of a quirk, Lishan's life spiraled into areas he never knew they would go. They worked hard to be able to save up enough money to allow their child to go to prestigious schools that would foster his power. After getting a massive payment from family and friends abroad, Lishan was sent to Japan and enrolled in UA High

Occupation: UA Student

Quirk Name: Lunar Apocalypse

Quirk Description: With this power, Lishan can alter the motion of objects moving to or away from him. For anything within a 5 feet radius, Lishan is able to decelerate a fast moving object and cause it to either slow down enough to be caught, or he can redirect it. For the latter, Lishan's quirk can be used to quicken the speed of an object that he has already slowed down and touched. It's really just the opposite of Lunar Apocalypse's first application. Imagine the force from Star Wars with added limitations.

QUIRKY HEROES: THE APPLICATION

Name:Lili Enomoto
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Blood Type: 0-
Appearance: Appearance
Bio: Lili grew up in Japan, a regular young girl who strongly looked up to heroes. While she was in elementary school she was bullied by some kids who had already had their quirks manifest. She was bullied for sticking up for other students who didn't have quirks, and one day while her bullies were hitting her hair turned blue and she began to spark, and her body let out a electric discharge scaring the kids away. With her quirk now manifested her parents sought to do whatever they could to get her into the prestigious UA High where her power could be nurtured.

Occupation: UA Student
Quirk Name: Bio-Electric

Quirk Type: Emitter/Accumulation

Quirk Description: Every impact on her body no matter what size stores electricity inside of her equivalent to the force. When she wants to she is able to use the energy in a variety of ways,
she can enhance her speed, fire off lightning bolts, statically charge objects around her, and othe standard electrokinetic feats. As the quirk does use even small impacts that means she will always have at least a bit of charge from just walking and other unnoticeable collisions. Impacts she exerts on objects also count but to a lesser degree and will only be used to jumpstart attacks.

Pending applications have been accepted. Do note that I plan to add a quirk-type section to the application form. Those who had apps accepted before this, don't worry, you're not required to update the application (though it helps). My assumption is that Lishan's Quirk Type is Emitter whereas Lili's is an Emitter & Accumulation Quirk.

QUIRKY HEROES: THE APPLICATION

Name: Hanzo "Negate" Honda
Age: 40
Gender: Male
Blood Type: O-
Appearance: Hanzo is a tall, somewhat muscular man sporting a black pompadour. His hero costume is incredibly simple, consisting of a black tracksuit.

Bio: Being an NPC Character, Hanzo's backstory is not of significant importance, though it will be explored down the line. That and I couldn't think of anything.

Occupation: UA Teacher & Pro Hero

Quirk Name: Negation

Quirk Type: Emitter

Quirk Description: Hanzo is capable of halting the usage of one's Quirk by making physical contact with them. In addition, his Quirk negates any damage that he would've otherwise received from the halted Quirk.

'Tis necessary to keep a class under control. Besides, I doubt Aizawa can even use his quirk effectively now considering the time period.

It'll be very funny if a teacher has Mirio's quirk; just appearing from.....the wall, maybe just to scare their students

Wouldn't be the same quirk but a similar one.

That is true. I just thought the idea was interesting, and the limitations works better for a text based RP anyway.

Am I also correct in assuming we need villains? I have a Gambit inspired character

Yes, villains are a must for having an interesting story

[Ralnis]

So Guori, going to be that guy and ask to be a qurikless student. Thing is that even pros without speed or strength quirks can do superhuman feats in the anime and manga so a quirkless student is possible for the hero course. But that's your own discretion and he will come in with registered gadgets for supplementary enhancements but would mostly be the Batman/Solid Snake of the class.

I think a character like that could have a Quirk that on the surface doesn't seem to do much but actually helps with making their gear (e.g Mei Hatsume's Zoom).

I mean if there's no chance for him to be Quirkless then I have an idea for a Quirk that can help with just that so that he can craft his gadgets but still be in the hero course thanks to his martial arts skills and physical ability to keep up with the cast.

QUIRKY HEROES: THE APPLICATION

Name: Alaska Iodine
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Blood Type: O
Appearance: https://gamemakerstuff.files.wordpress. ... pirate.jpg

Bio: Alaska received her name because her mother lost a bet. Since she lost, she gave her newborn child a name which her friend liked, which was Alaska. Her early years were decent, but Alaska quickly became at odds with her family due to differences in philosophy and her personality. Alaska would skip school and get into trouble with the police when she used her quirk to attack random pedestrians or even police officers. She was kicked out after her a fight with her mom, and now Alaska spends her time committing crimes to keep herself and her group alive and well.

Occupation: (Civilian/Pro Hero/UA Teacher/UA Student/Villain)

Quirk Name: Swiper no Swiping:

Quirk Type: Emitter

Quirk Description: Alaska can conjure puppets which she can control through threads that connect to her hands. These puppets look and act like humans, but have a distinct lifeless aura around them. There are two sets of puppets: The "Main Set" is composed of up to two battle puppets who are physically strong and agile, but are weak in endurance, so attacks from even weaker heroes can take them out. The "Defense Set" is composed of slower but tougher puppets who can handle much higher damage. Due to their contrasting abilities, Alaska usually has a puppet from both sets who she uses in conjunction.

When SnS is active, Alaska is completely defenseless to attacks which hit her. In fact, one strike can cause the puppets to dissipate as she loses concentration. They also have a mind of their own, so Alaska can't always order them around. Alaska prefers long range combat due to the chances that she can be attacked, but the further she is from her puppets, the more their individuality surfaces. They also have a weak spot on their backs (where Alaska's strings connect). Once these are severed, the puppets disappear, and in order to use them again, Alaska must re-attach the strings.

Bio: Makoto was born to a pair of genius inventors who used their quirks to great durable, reliable hero gear and gadgets. He was always excited to see pro heroes wearing his parent's gear in the news. Makoto always hoped to follow in his famous inventor parent's footsteps and take over the family business, but fate had other plans. While on a school trip to the zoo, a group of villains attacked the zoo and started whipping the animals into a frenzy. While fleeing from the battle, Makoto was caught in a collapsing building and barely survived. Unfortunately his arms had to amputated and his face was left horribly scarred. His parents were able to build prosthetic limbs for him, but the trauma caused him to keep his face hidden by a mask. Filled with hatred for the villains who destroyed his body and resolve to save those in need, Makoto decided to sign up to join UA and become a pro hero.
Occupation: UA Student

Quirk Name: Triple threat

Quirk Type: Emitter

Quirk Description: Makoto can create echoes of any force he applies to an object with a maximum of two echoes. The echoes appear as ghostly versions of the part of his body he used to apply the force. The echoes apply the same amount of force in the same direction relative to the affected object and happen one second apart.

It's a good application though one thing to note is that as an he wouldn't be able to produce the echoes through his hands due to their prosthetic nature.

To elaborate (MHA spoilers ahead).

The villain "Overhaul" can disassemble and reassemble anything he touches with his hands. However, Shigaraki and Mr Compress removed his hands, leaving Overhaul practically quirkless.
