Personality:
Despite his seemingly harder outer shell, he is actually quite the laid back individual, that is, unless you get to know him in which case he is quite the handful, laughing and carrying on. Sometimes needing to be told "shutup" just so some sanity is kept. His father taught him how to be a gentleman and it is shown in his actions and simple gestures. Actions speak louder than words in his morals and values and will treat those accordingly.

Now, if and when he overloads himself with energy and hurts himself, his mind seems to rewrite itself for a short period of time and he can take on just about any personality or persona and when it wears off, have no recollection of what had happened except for whatever blowback follows. He has master the art of apologizing because of this.

---

Background:
Garin was born in Germany, but raised in Japan because of his fathers job requiring him to travel. At the time, his father had been given a promotion requiring him to move to Japan when Garin was only 6. The move was hard for his parents but he was young enough to worry more about playing and being a child.

Japan was an interesting country, its culture and people were very different from what he remembers Germany being like and the expectations were even higher. It didn't take long before Garin had gotten into his first fight and it was over something that was insignificant but enough to show him where he stood amongst those around him but this never stopped him from trying to be the best. He thrived in school for the most part and joined sports in the meantime. The language was hard sure and the people were a bit harder on him but he found the right group and hung around them for a time. It wasn't until the age of 9 did his quirk kick in when he was in school. He had the flu and didn't feel good, requesting to go to the nurses office. When Garin had gotten up to leave, his body seized before he discharged his first pulse, shutting the school's electricity off for a minute before it came back on but that would be the least of his problems, the kids around him needed medical attention. Some had gotten nerve damage from the blast and others ended up in seizures or convulsions. His parents were called in and told he would no longer be allowed to go to school because of his ability being a bit dangerous. Instead an alterative was given, Kosei Academy. Garin's parents agreed to this and he was transferred quickly.

Quirk: Blitzkrieg (Lightning War)
Garin has the natural ability to create electrical currents and fields. What aids him in this is due to a couple things. His body's natural electrical current is well above the normal human and this is also possible thanks to the body's ability. He is able to create his own electricity however, this can cause heavy strain on the body as too much will shut him down or send him into a seizure. Sturm can generate large electric currents by way of a highly specialized nervous system that has the capacity to synchronize the activity of disc-shaped, electricity-producing cells packed into a specialized electric organ. The nervous system does this through a command nucleus that decides when the electric organ will fire. When the command is given, a complex array of nerves makes sure that the thousands of cells activate at once, no matter how far they are from the command nucleus. When activated, it releases around no less then 1 volt per cell equaling to more than one million volts. It is enough to stun an enemy or send them into muscular convulsions if not death depending on the health of his opponent. He has learned slightly how to advance this ability to shoot out a wide and branching arch of "lightning". Unfortunately it is still in its developmental stage and needs a lot of work but it works similarly to a tesla coil striking at a metal rod but with less accuracy.

Talents:
Garin has been classically trained in the violin, cello and piano but prefers the violin. He does play the guitar as well but mostly as a hobby. He does have a little bit of hacking knowledge. While in japan he has taken up martial arts so he does have some hand to hand experience but just enough to get by.

Name:
Gi Yamaguchi-gumi (He usually doesn't add the gumi)
Age:
16
Gender:
Male
Height:

---

Personality:
As the quote unqoute "grandson"of the current Yamaguchi-Gumi leader, he has inherited the prideful and violent aura that comes with the name Yamaguchi-gumi as well as the aggressive attitude and brutal opinions but he can back this up with fighting prowess. He is never one to give up, willing to go as far as death for those close to him, the ride-or-die phrase befitting of him.

---

---

Background: Gi's father was not the greatest of people. Working a shit job in a shit area dealing with shit people. Stress needs to be released somehow right? Well, through the wonders of alcohol he snuffed his stress with, so long as it stayed in his system, that way he wouldn't remember beating the young Gi for problems others caused for him. His mother wouldn't step in, not anymore at least. After a broken nose, three cracked ribs and a fractured jaw, not including the hospital trip, his mother no longer attempted to stop the father from hitting him. Luck still favored Gi and his mother, as the cops were called and eventually the father was taken away. Unfortunately, this put his mother and himself in a financial predicament. Gi and his mother were on the streets by the age of 6 but still managed to continue his one hobby he had, martial arts.

This is when Gi knew what he had to do, hustle. He started with pickpocketing and was caught the first two times, earning a very hard ass kicking before figuring out what not to do. Slowly he branched out into other crimes like stealing and boosting. This had gained the attention of a certain yakuza family by the name of Yamaguchi-gumi. They promised that they would take care of him and his mother if he came along. Gi didn't take long to say yes. With their help, he honed in his skills and helped teach him the martial arts he wanted. They saw potential with the boy, and they had no idea the amount of potential. They saw it in him more so when he picked up the blade, seemingly to finesse it with ease. Rusty in style and attack but a battle prowess that complemented the rustiness of his movements.

It was by the age of eight did his quirk kick in when a gang fight broke out at a local noodle shop. A gun was pulled and fired at him when he was scared and cornered. "Move...Moooove.....MOOOOOOOVEEEEEE!" His eyes flicked red and in an instant he dodged the bullet and managed to get into the opposing gang members personal space and stabbed him, killing him instantly. After that he collapsed, having exerted all that energy to dodge. These actions in this event had gotten the attention of the leader of the family. Yamaguchi-Gumi requested Gi stay by his side and continue under his guidance.

Years had passed and over time with much training and exercise, he had managed to control his quirk with a bit more ease, though still imperfect. Granddad Gumi as Gi calls him, encouraged him to go to the academy in the hopes to better himself before returning to the family. With this he set off to the school, intentions to do just as he was asked, but fate could have other plans. He has started liking the school and the people he is around. Thoughts of becoming a hero have grown in his mind and his connection to the Yakuza is slowly dimming. Is the possibly of Gi becoming a hero high? No one knows, not even himself.

Quirk: Raikiri - Mutant
Raikiri in Japanese roughly translates to lightning blade, and that is exactly how his quirk can be described but by his speed. His eyes give it away first, changing to a red while the pupils split into three. He is able to move at high speeds and react faster than most, a byproduct of his body's natural muscular and nervous system. But what makes this "Lightning blade" is the fact he complements this with his prowess and finesse of the blade. The combination of speed and edge is quite the vicious quirk. However, the one thing that he lacks is stamina. High speed movements do exert a lot of energy and currently he can only last about fifteen minutes in consistent movement. Should he exceed this or attempt to, he is looking at muscular damage if not worse. If he does exceed it, the worst possible thing to happen is sudden cardiac arrest. Besides the outer workings of his quirk the inner workings are interesting. His muscles are shaped and formed differently from most with a much more lean design despite its build. His heart usually pumps twice as fast as everyone else when in a calm state, including those who also have quirks but will triple in speed when exerting energy. Should he exert more than necessary, his heart will begin to pump out of rhythm and begin causing pain with the worst case the valves and aorta tear sending him into cardiac arrest.

Talents: Through the years of law breaking, he has learned many unneeded but useful skills. It had taken time but he is practically a pro with lock picking and hotwiring. He has been training kenjuitsu and kempo since he was 5 and has become quite the fighter, though more so with handling a blade than anything else. Not a talent per say, but he has learned how to cope with physical pain a bit more so than others thanks to the violent background he has had.

Transformation Class


Gahana is far from an early riser and the morning makes her extremely sluggish. It's also the only time that you'll find her hair not up in a tail, just unedited and flowing free. Until fully awake her reaction skills, general intellect and responses are lower than average. She'll spend most of the morning getting ready to go out and applying makeup and accessories.
Gahana can talk too fast for some people to keep up with and often uses slang and text abbreviations in everyday speech. Her tone of voice isn't ear bleeding high but is rather high, she'll habitually end her sentences with 'Ne' to soften her sentences and add an atmosphere of cuteness to her side of the conversation. Her exterior demeanor is that of a confident, happy and relaxed girl but her true feelings are that of wavering attacks of self doubt and identity dysphoria.

Gahana's mental state is deeply intertwined to how others perceive her. Her fear of being rejected outweighs the fear of harming herself to impress others, both physically and emotionally. With that in mind, Gahana prefers to be called 'Hana'. She prefers this name because 'Gahana' can be a mouthful and doesn't sounds as cute until it is shortened.
Whenever Gahana meets somebody new for the first time, her eyes dart up and down sizing up and accessing how to interact with this new person. She does this in hopes of winning over a new friend. If she can't make friends with just about as many people as possible, she can be crushed deeply emotionally in her mind while expressing a strong exterior shell. Although she attempts to make friends with everyone, the inner circle of friendship she prefers to be with are ones she finds extremely valuable and doesn't take the friendship with any shallow nature. Prioritizing discussion, an exchange of ideas and trust when deciding who are valuable to her and who are not. Generally Gahana can be compassionate and extremely helpful, but if lied to or betrayed she may never be able to forgive someone.

Gahana is indifferent towards animals. She's never owned a pet, when asked if she would like one, she rapidly shakes her head explaining that it's not worth the massive responsibility. Sometimes times with close friends she can be a little flirty. She's not a complete flirt as physical signs of affection trigger her transformation quirk due to embarrassment. When asked if there's anything she would change about herself, it'd normally be something along the lines of
"Nothing at all! Aw, well maybe I'd change so I could be even cuter!★"


Born April first, in Okinawa.
She lives with her mother and father, nether of her parents have a quirk and she's been an only child her entire life. Her mother was simple housewife, teaching Gahana house skills and everyday cooking skills whenever given the chance. Her father was an intense prosecutor for the district who rarely had time to play but always could afford expensive gifts for the family. That isn't to say her father was never around, but he just didn't have as much spare time as everyone would have liked.
Loving the area she lived in there were many places that she could enjoy friendship building activities alongside being a regular teenager.

Signs of the overdrive quirk appeared on Gahana at around the age of two. Her crying would be screeches that could shatter glass and form cracks in the walls. She could lift objects one hundred times her own weight as child. What her parents thought were fevers were actually he body reacting to the use of her quirk. In the beginning stages Gahana wasn't able to control it as easily, and often would pass out from over heating and exhaustion without realizing how long her quirk had been in effect. There had been a few incidents in which someone had gotten hurt. During Kindergarten a group of boys pushed Gahana to the ground. She cried for a moment, got up and pushed them back. The only difference was she had sent them flying into the air, crash landing into a tree. Another incident involving a car and pedestrian. Walking across the street at an intersection a wild car came out of nowhere, reacting fast Gahana placed her hands out to protect herself she unintentionally crushed the front half of the car whilst she still stood in place reasonably unaffected.

It was obvious she wasn't a regular teen. Did this dismay her from doing what she loved? No. But she did change. Frightened her family and friends might stop liking her, she constantly dotted on the thought of how to lose her quirk or change herself to avoid anybody knowing it existed. This identity crisis formed into a girl who was obsessed with all things cute, doing anything she could to be the cutest, overcompensating for that fact that her quirk was extremely destructive and 'manly'. The only thought on her mind is 'How can I get everyone to like me, and keep it that way?'. It wasn't her who found the academy, but while scrambling along the internet she found some kind of Hero Academy on a subreddit. It was made for people just like her, well, people with quirks, not some cute little flower like her.

"No way, you can't be a hero, that's for burly strong men. You'd just fail and everybody would look down on you."

The fear never goes away, but if she could become a real hero, then everybody would like her for her. After all;
"Everybody loves heroes! And nobody said they couldn't be cute★!

Overdrive

The Overdrive quirk is stimulated mentally. Sometimes at will and other times involuntary as with many instances with Gahana. When stimulated, muscle strength is increased to superhuman stats and adrenaline is constantly pumped throughout the body. This allows somebody with the Overdrive quirk to be extremely athletic and almost unstoppable. Whilst a person stimulated with Overdrive may not be feeling pain at the time, they are not immune to cuts, bruises and general trauma, the after affects can and may show signs later. The true downside to Overdrive is determined by how long it is in effect.
For only a few moments it'll simply make somebody sluggish.
Half an Hour, fatigue.
An Hour, extreme fatigue and rise in temperature.
More than two hours, fainting alongside a fever with muscle pain for a few days.
In addition, Gahanas' hair grows in length and eye colour changes.

Theme

Name: Shoko Iseki

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Height: 164cm

Weight: 55kg

Personality:
Shoko is a bit of a walking contradiction, mostly thanks to the way her Quirk has helped shape her personality. She's a quiet and reserved person who most commonly expresses all of her emotions through the same slight smile, but loves being around others despite that. She has a hyper-competitive nature, but will always take a fall for someone else when she can. She'll work herself to exhaustion, and then completely downplay any achievements that come about from that hard work, finding no pride in them unless they involve assisting another person.

Any concern expressed by others for her is immediately dismissed, as it makes her feel uncomfortable -- living in the shadow of her parents and brother her entire life, she's developed something of an inferiority complex, only exacerbated by her Quirk. From a very young age, she decided her place in life was to help others, and her competitive, hard-working disposition has seen to making sure she took that idea far -- far enough to get her into a hero academy as prestigious as Komei. It's not wrong to say she feels like she completely lucked out -- as she feels she has been her entire life -- especially when she stops and thinks about all the incredibly talented students with amazing Quirks that attend Komei Academy.

Background:
Shoko's life has been as normal as it could possibly be, considering her superhero family. Both her parents were high-ranking heroes in their day, enough so that finding someone now who hasn't at least heard of them is nearly impossible. Her father -- who goes by Biobuilder -- is still active, though less so now due to being past his prime, and her mother, Delphi, is fully retired. Finally, her brother Yuuma, five years older than her, has always been the more gifted child of the two. Marked for greatness from a young age, he's excelled in everything hero-related, and is now an official hero known as Blowback who is on track to exceed his parents' reputation.

And then there was Shoko, with her Quirk that certainly at least denoted her as her parents' child -- her father's ability to manipulate mass and turn it into organic matter to patch injuries up is linked to her ability to manipulate wounds, and her mother's extreme, near mind-reading empathy showed itself in the way Shoko's Quirk is employed as empathetic healing. Unfortunately, despite being linked to their Quirks, hers did not seem to inherit the extreme power her parents' had. On the other hand, her brother's Quirk to eat up damage thrown at him and return it exponentially stronger was straight off the A-list. The only thing notable about Shoko's Quirk was that she was one of the uncommon cases where she was born with it already manifested -- her tiny palms red from the moment she took in her first breath.

While her parents were extremely loving and certainly didn't treat her any worse for not being as potential-filled as her brother, Shoko could never help but feel inferior or guilty in some way, especially when she couldn't keep up with her brother in the training her parents provided the two in their off-time. The thought that they might be disappointed in her, even if they never really gave any indication of such thoughts, always hurt her -- though one benefit that came from this was the molding of her excellent work ethic, as she tried desperately day in and day out to live up to her family.

From a very early age, Shoko got into the habit of using her Quirk every chance she could -- whenever she'd see someone get hurt, whether it was a paper cut, a stubbed toe, or a broken bone, she'd immediately jump to action and take on the injury. She's lost count of how many broken bones she's healed through, convinced that she's had a cast somewhere on her body for almost more time than she hasn't. There was always the worry that she'd be taken advantage of for this habit, and while she could tell often when exactly that was happening, she never minded, finding herself feeling happy for helping despite any pain -- it also helped that she made plenty of genuine friends because of her actions.

This habit was part of the reason she got into sports, apart from the drive she felt to do so from her competitive nature -- people got hurt more often in sports than in regular day life, so she could be of more use in the environment.

And that was mostly how her life went; school during the day where she did well, and sports and hero-training with her family during her evenings. And, of course, non-stop use of her power throughout it all.

When the time came for Shoko to start looking into where she'd go for high school, she followed her parents (rather pressing) suggestion to apply for a hero academy. She really didn't think she was cut out for it, but the idea of being a hero very much appealed to her, and her combined desires to not let down her parents and to help as many people as she could lead her to aim for a rather prestigious school -- Komei Academy. She still vividly remembers how nervous and pathetic she felt just before she gathered the courage to inform her parents of her plan, fully expecting them to gently suggest she aim a little lower -- but they didn't. They took the news exactly as they had when her brother had told them he'd be applying for the top hero academy.

She can pinpoint that exact moment, when she realized her parents truly did believe in her, as the single moment that most helped her shoddy self-confidence -- followed very closely by the moment when she opened the letter from Komei that informed her she had made it in.

Even Shoko herself has noticed the growth she's been experiencing as a person lately, and though she still often finds herself thinking that she probably doesn't belong in a place like Komei, she's set on doing all she can to not flunk out, and just maybe eventually do something half as great as the rest of her family members have.

Quirk:
Wound Transference

Classification:
Emitter

Description:
Shoko's Quirk has caused the palms on both her hands to permanently be red, as though the first layer of skin is missing. When this red skin comes into contact with another living being, she can instantly take any injuries the being has onto herself, effectively healing the target at the cost of hurting herself.

Very recently, she's discovered that she can give injuries she has to another person in the same fashion, though, at the moment, this is easily denied by an unwilling target -- and such denials cause her to be run through by a wave of pain.

Transferred wounds are relative to the person they're on -- if Shoko were to take on a gash from a 210cm tall person, the injury would cover the same percentage of her body as it did for her target, but would overall be smaller, due to her being smaller than her target. The inverse is also true. When dealing with people who have more extreme mutations due to their own Quirks, transferred wounds will settle somewhere on the receiver's body that most closely corresponds to the site of the wound on the giver. It is also entirely possible for Shoko's Quirk to have no effect if the target's mutation is too abstract.

---

Talents:
- Pain tolerance: As one might expect, constant use of her Quirk has lead Shoko to be more tolerant of pain than the average person, even if it's still very unpleasant.

- Ambidextrous: Shoko is fully ambidextrous in both her hands and feet, something she's purposely worked on for as long as she can remember.

- Strategy games: Whether it's Chess, Go, or even video games with a focus on strategy, Shoko is quick to understand such games and play them at an impressive level of skill. They're also her main thing she uses to kill time when she finds herself relaxing.

- Athletic: Honed from years of sports, Shoko's athleticism is something to behold for a girl with her frame. She hides a surprising amount of strength, with excellent reflexes and a strong ability to make snap judgments. It was primarily this athleticism that got her into Komei, her Quirk not being the most useful in the entrance exams.

black lioness

Appearance: Mesu isn't one for dressing up too fancily, but she at least wants to look decent. Her hair is an untamed mane of black strands, forever looking like she just got out of bed. Her eyes are a bright orange-amber that seem to glow when she is angry or excited. Her body is lanky and tall, her skin thin yet tan, her teeth a pure and dazzling white. Even when in uniform, she will wear the boy’s version of it with her black fingerless gloves. If told to change into a girl uniform, she will reluctantly do so, but will be a bit on edge wearing a skirt in front of a ton of males. The outfits she wears outside of school consist of army cargo pants and a black sweatshirt as one outfit, a red flannel shirt and black pants as the other. She also wears black converse with her clothes, regardless of school or outside. She has no fancy clothes or party dresses, nor as she ever worn heels.

Name: Mesu Shishi (Mesu-kun is what most of her friends call her)

Gender: Girl

Age: 15 years

Height: 6’1”

Weight: 120 lbs (54.5 kgs)

Personality: Some might think Mesu is a badass by her appearance. And honestly? She could beat someone up if she wanted to. She would if you piss her off enough, but that is extremely hard to do. The girl isn't short-tempered at all; in fact, she's just a quiet guardian over those younger and older than she is herself. Find yourself in a tough situation? Call her, and she'll do whatever it takes to help you out. Very watchful and strategic, usually thinking before she does anything that involves a consequence. Her intelligence is above average on the scale of smartest to dumbest, but she can sometime be a bit clueless or oblivious when it comes to social situations.

Background: Once, an amber-eyed woman fell in love with a dark-haired man. They had only met once in school, and they both fell pretty hard. A decade had passed and they got married, happily moving to the country-side where they can live with their Quirks in peace and without having to fight off villains. They had two daughters, twins that didn't look alike at all. One was a beautiful and rare Quirkless being, with the hair as bright as the sun and eyes like the stars at night. The other was a girl with the looks of both her father and mother, along with the same Quirk and stature as her father. The two grew up side by side, chasing birds in the yellow fields of their plot of land, catching fish in the streams in the woods, or even picking flowers by the woods. Nothing would go on with one of them if the other wasn't there.

Then, they both grew. The star-sister and the black lioness wandered to a nearby town, pointing to places and deciding that the two of them would own a shop together. The star-sister, with her bright eyes, told the lioness sister of her plans to make the shop have cheap things and regular customers, with new stock every month. On Christmas, they would sell tiny ornaments and trees found in the woods near their home. During summer, they could seek sunscreen and umbrellas made by the two themselves. The plan was set, and there was no turning back whatsoever. Well… Until the star-sister fell in love.

He was a dashing young man, a farmer who came to work for their father. He had evergreen eyes and hair that matched the color of the ocean’s foam, not to mention he was muscular and looked prepared for anything. The star-sister’s heart fell for the man, and they both confessed their love to each other. Now, the black lioness did not trust this new farmer; each day he worked, they were missing some chickens, and even once a cow was found dead on their property! She told her sister to not marry him, to come back to the dream of their tiny little town-shop. The star-sister ignored her pleas and ran away with the man, never to be seen again.

Then, a letter turned up. The star-sister was dead, found lying in a hollow pit just outside of town. She had been clawed open, multiple teeth found lodged in her neck and stomach. Most said that she was eaten by a bear or wolf or something of that kind, but the black lioness knew who it was. And she wanted revenge. But she couldn't get it, not yet. For she was not as skilled as most in the ways of her Quirk and had to be taught by her father how to control the beast inside of her. Plus, she wasn't prepared for the outside world; the homeschool that her mother gave her was not enough. She had to go to an actual school.

Mesu chose Komei Academy because of how big and great people talked about it. Her father and mother had told her that that place was where she needed to be if she wanted to avenge her sister. They would teach her all she needed to know, and she would learn how to use her transformation Quirk for good. After showing the school what she could do and how wise she could be, she was finally accepted. Though, the idea of social interactions scared her a bit, she was ready to become a great hero. She would defeat the seafoam man. And she would be the best lioness she could be.

Quirk:

Name: Lioness Rising

Classification: Transformation

Description: Lioness Rising isn't that unique of a quirk; it runs in most of her family. The Quirk involved taking all the power and anger stored up inside a person to turn their legs and arms into fur and claws. Their eyes glow a bright amber and their hair seems to grow a bit longer and wilder than usual. Human teeth are replaced with sharp fangs and a long tail with a hairy, brush-like end will appear above her bottom on her backside. Her hearing, eyesight, strength, and agility are increased to match the ferocious lioness that runs in the Amazon. She can half-way transform, which halves her heightened abilities and makes her more exhausted after the battle. After transforming back into a human, she will be overcome with a hunger for meat and exhaustion, which makes her need to sit down for a while. Her weaknesses from this Quirk are usually tiny distractions (i.e. birds, mice) that will take her off course from what she should be doing and to chase after the creature. Another weakness of hers is blood or anything relating to injuries. Even though lions and such should be accustomed to blood, it makes her nauseated and sick to her stomach, whether she wants it to or not.

Talents:

• Art & Crafts - After many years of fantasizing of the shop they would have, Mesu and her sister began to learn how to knit, crochet, sew, and make works of art. They would make tiny hats for their dolls, scarves for their parents, and even fingerless gloves (they weren't that good) for each other. Mesu still wears those black gloves the star-sister made for her, in memory of why she was at Komei and what she was fighting for.

• Cooking - Give her a pot, a spoon, some ingredients and a recipe, and you've got yourself a lunch. Though she says she isn't that good at cooking and baking, she isn't half bad, and her cooking is worth a try. She used to make lunch for her sister when they were about to go on a day long adventure. She knows how to make only American, Japanese, and French food, since her parents are from France and America, and she lived in Japan her whole life.

Sayuri Takashi

Except she has dark violet eyes and waist length hair usually tied in a low thing ponytail. She's about 5'8”

Name:
Daichi Nakai

Gender:
Male (I-I think?)

Age:
15

Height:
229 cm

Weight:
169 kg

Personality:
A loud, kind individual, Daichi is quick to stand up for others when no one else will. He refuses to back down when he is given a mission, and will hold himself to complete it. Usually, this meant getting groceries from the car, not arresting villains. While he tries not to show it, Daichi is terrified to have been accepted into Komei. He does his best to fit in with the crowd, but refuses to stand down if he sees bullying or some injustice. Due to his problems with internal injuries, Daichi has some health problems, particularly a shortness of breath. Because of his lack of... manhood, Daichi doesn't really feel anything special towards females. He is very self conscious about this deformity and his inability to conceive children, and he will try to hide it as much as possible. Due to his large frame, almost everything he owns is a much larger version of what it is supposed to be, and he is forced to act as carefully as he can around other people. Despite his loud mouthing, he means everything he says, and he cares about everyone and everything, filling the optimistic role nicely. Daichi has an incredibly naive attitude, fueled by a life of sheltering and love, to the point where he believes prison is interchangeable with shelter and killing another person is unthinkable, if not subconsciously impossible. He is far to trusting for his own good, and he does whatever he can to help, usually failing and causing harm.

Despite his cheery attitude and optimistic view on life, Daichi really doesn't care about himself. He does not remember a time when other children would play with him, and he hasn't called someone a 'friend' for the past 11 years. Every time he looks at himself in the mirror, all he ever sees is the same, disgusting monster. He buries all of his self hate under the desire to help others, which was the main reason he decide to enroll into Komei in the first place. Someone could attack him without him batting an eye, but he would do everything in his power to help someone if they needed it. If Daichi ever managed to find a friend, he would do anything and everything to make them happy. He has known since he had first gotten his quirk that he was... special. He was nowhere near as smart or witty as his classmates. He was just the ugly, dumb monster. He is incredibly good at reading, and does so on a university level, but he lacks the ability to do complicated math or memorize things easily. A-at least his vocabulary is amazing! The largest flaw in his personality is by far his naiveté, which has resulted in him giving tens of thousands of yen to 'investors' and the 'homeless'. The one thing he refuses to do is go into the water, which he has an immense fear of. If the water rises above his mouth, he refuses to go near it.

Background:
Born in Kyoto to a single mother, Daichi led a completely normal life. He was quite bright for his age, to the point where his daycare thought he would accomplish great things in the future. His mother, a Florakinetic, owned a small flower shop which kept the family in a comfortable position financially. Daichi dreamed of inheriting his mother's quirk, and taking over the shop when she grew too old. He never knew his father, but he really couldn't care less at the time. After all, kids always look forward to getting their quirks. They never stop to think of what they would do if things turned out differently.

The moment went by instantly for Daichi. He closed his eyes for a second, and he was suddenly taller than his mother. His muscles bulged without any effort, threatening to rip his skin apart, and he felt so much... heavier. None of this was on Daichi's mind however. The only thing that was on his mind was the fact that he couldn't breath. His tongue, a massive blob of flesh, was far back in his mouth, near his throat. Presumably, this was meant to prevent biting it with knife-like teeth. Unfortunately, it also blocked his windpipe, resulting in him passing out. He awoke in the nearby hospital several hours later, his mother sobbing by his side.

His father had the same quirk, and had left the country in order to avoid persecution for tax evasion. Daichi's mother had seen the process of Daichi's quirk activating, which took several minutes until completion. She had been the one to call the ambulance for him. And she was also the person to tell him the bad news.

Having gone so long without oxygen, Daichi's brain had suffered immense damage. It was unlikely for him to ever recover fully, and he was destined to be mentally handicapped. Additionally, his left lung had suffered shock from the event, resulting in a shortness of breath and severe asthma. Daichi remained in the hospital for 4 months, and left just in time for his birthday.

He had turned 4.

As the years went by, it became clear that Daichi had changed, and not just mentally. He lost the numerous friends he had made, and he never managed to make anymore. He was far less expressive, and also was introverted. He began to read almost obsessively, and his small garden nearly tripled in size. He was delving into himself, and shutting everyone else out.

At 8, Daichi was taller than the average man, and weighed just as much. It was then that he decided to join the local soup kitchen. Maybe he wanted to recover himself before he became a social pariah, or maybe he simply wanted to be something besides the monster he appeared to be. Or maybe there was no reason. But the faces of those he saw that day changed him. They didn't sneer at his face, or cringe at his voice. They didn't shake in fear when he walked near them. They simply smiled, and thanked him for the food. He wanted to help people as much as possible.

For the next 6 years, Daichi became a local legend, and was the go-to guy if someone had a problem. People no longer looked at him with fear, but with gratitude. As the years went on, this sense of justice and satisfaction became addictive, to the point where Daichi had selected his future career.

Professional hero.

Daichi spent the next year studying furiously, and spending every waking moment learning. After months of studying and a grueling exam period, he successfully managed to make it into the famous Komei Academy, bottom of his class. After a tearful goodbye with his mother, Daichi left for Musutafu, to show the world that he wasn't just some monster.

Quirk:
Monstrous Physiology

Classification:
Mutant

Description:
Daichi has an incredibly strong body. Something such as a regular punch would probably break a person's hand, and it would take a large number of small caliber bullets to take him down. Strength wise, it would be easy for him to throw cars, let alone punches. Something large, like a building or truck, however, is beyond his capabilities. He is able to see in the dark, and can jump three meters vertically in the air. He is at full strength in the dark.

Unfortunately, Daichi's quirk comes with some side effects. He is, compared to his classmates, mentally dim, and his quirk reshaping his mouth has caused him to develop a severe stutter. Additionally, subtlety is a foreign concept for him, as simply walking generates a lot of noise. Speed is also unknown to him, as he has horrible cardiovascular strength, to the point where jumping places would be faster. Internal damage is by far the biggest threat, as most surgical scalpels cannot pierce his skin, leading to numerous health problems throughout Daichi's life. Daichi has no sense of smell, and his stomach has become incapable of digesting plants, leading to a carnivorous life style. On the topic of food, Daichi requires 5000 calories a day which, while not to threatening in modern day Japan, would be incredibly dangerous in a survival situation. Daichi's durability only extends to physical trauma, and mental attacks are more than twice as effective on him. He has numerous 'weak points' scattered throughout his body, mainly on his back and lower on his neck. These spots glow bright red when he is in a rage, and will cause him to fall unconscious if hit with large amounts of force. His quirk is constantly active, making Daichi gain a very careful disposition when it comes to other people, the inability to swim, and a very low IQ. Finally, Daichi is 50% weaker in the light, leading to his more 'nocturnal' sleep cycle.

Talents:
Boxing: Due to his size and lack of dexterity, Daichi has adopted the western art of Boxing. He is quite experienced, but nowhere near tournament level.

Gardening: Despite being a pure carnivore, Daichi has been known to be an avid gardener, and does his best to keep his plants alive. He's the kind of guy who brings his potted plants inside during bad weather.

Foreign Language: Unsurprisingly for the guy with the intelligence of a child, Daichi has an incredible grasp on foreign languages. He has nearly mastered English (Westaboo), and has made great progress towards Chinese. He will occasionally make exclamations in English, mainly for effect or attention.

Name:
Anneli Kallela

Age:
16
Gender:
Female

Personality:
Between the appearance, an elegant voice that sounds like she had smoked 20 packs of cigarettes in a minute, and how she practically needs to pause after every two sentences to catch her breath, many would assume that Anneli was just the quiet, loner type who would keep to herself and enjoy solitude. Well, shockingly enough, this horrifying girl that looks like she just climbed her way out the Chernobyl reactor actually prefers company. While she might not say much, its literally just because of her current physical restrictions. She enjoys the company of others and listening to the stories and gossip of the day.

Generally speaking, Anneli is a friendly individual who likes the company of people as stated earlier, but the type of people who immensely annoy and anger her are shy or reclusive people. Ironic as that may seem, it does make sense for her. These are people that, her eyes, can breath normally, talk normally, and yet waste it away with some "weak personality" who she'd just love to take away there voice and see how they like it. On that note, anyone who actually get's to know Anneli might discover a heavy undercurrent of anger and resentment towards the world.

Background:
Hmm.... well to call Anneli the ugly duckling would be the understatement of the century. Originally born to much more normal looking parents in Finland, fate decided to deal her a hand that consisted of no face cards and no pairs, aka a shitty life. Her parents were not normal looking, no, they were beautiful, angelic, to a literal degree with her mother. Her mother was an eagle mutant, sporting a brilliant pair of large wings and platinum hair. her father was a handsome man whose transformation abilities were highly refined to allow him to be a one man orchestra.

So, how could this culturally talented, practically picture perfect pair of adults produce a walking chemical disaster that was their daughter? Well, originally, Anneli was a bit of a... "late bloomer" only gaining her quirk when she was around the age of six. Up until then, she had resembled a perfectly healthy little girl sporting the same wonderful blond hair and had seemed enthusiastic about learning music, even at such a young age. Thus it seemed she'd grow up just like her parents.

When her quirk began to finally manifest, her parent's had initially thought she had been burned horribly. Her skin had begun to scar in some places, most notably around her mouth, neck, and arms. They resembled chemical burns and 3rd degree burns, seemingly beginning to form overnight. The initial process was incredibly painful for Anneli, as if her body was burning its self, then reforging what was left over. She was quickly hospitalized where it was finally revealed that this was, in fact, just her quirk finally surfacing after an unusually long period of dormancy.

Anneli's parents could not believe the news. The sagging eyes, the mutilated mouth, the raspy voice, and the burns made her a completely different person. In the eyes of Anneli's parents, she died in that hospital, and now this gremlin had taken her place. They acted almost as if she didn't exist, never eating dinner together, never making eye contact. The warmth that Anneli had once felt with her parents, forever gone. As it had turned out, her great grandfather had suffered from the same quirk, and she had been unlucky enough to inherit that gene from her father.

When Anneli's school offered an exchange program with a far away school in Japan, her parents jumped on the opportunity to send her away. Anneli remembers their fake smiles, how after all these years of silence, they suddenly wanted to give her more "opportunities" in learning a different culture. It didn't matter to Anneli, she frankly wanted nothing to do with them as well. Thus, she transferred, starting a new school life here, at Kosei Academy.

Quirk:
Emitter
"Willie Pete"
Cute name, ain't it? Well its not so cute when you realize its US Army slang for a horrifying incendiary weapon that burns people alive with White Phosphorous, a chemical compound that can range from simply being used as a thermal smokescreen to cooking you to a disgusting crisp. Alenni can emitting the terrible substance in a number of ways.

First and foremost is the infamous "Wille Pete Round" where she can fire off a projectile of sorts that when it impacts a target, it explodes with white, scorching hot cinders, burning their way through most materials and even melting metals. Second is simply emitting a cloud of thick smoke around herself to provide visual cover. This can sometimes interfere with thermal based optics as the heat signatures would be more blurred and not specific. This usually only comes in handy when she creates the cloud in a group of people, preventing the more tech savvy opponent from picking out a particular target.

Talents:
Can play the violin quite well and loves to edit music, making her own remixes and sounds.
A critical thinker/skeptic, never takes anything at face value.
Likes to build models/paint. Particularly loves tanks.

Hero Alias: Gravitation
Gender: Boy
Age: 15
Height: 5'10
Weight: 148
Personality: Ken is a rather cold and blunt person at first and it takes a lot for him to warm up to people. He is also very ambitious aiming to be the number one hero. When he meets people he makes a full body evaluation, those who he perceives as strong he will do his best to surpass in power while those he feels that aren't on par with his power he will disregard them until proven otherwise. Ken can be aloof in the beginning, being cool and distant, it takes some time for Ken to actually see someone as a friend. In battle he doesn't speak much and is focused with a cool mind, he pays close attention to the battle field always keeping awareness of his surroundings. Ken is also well grounded on heroifics thanks to his grandfather who he looked up to, being the only male role model in his life. Though he can be distant once you get to know him is a really laid back person and can also be sweet at times, he also has some sense of humor as well.

Background: Quirk marriage, the reason that Ken was born, not out of love or nothing, only his fathers wish to conceive a 'weapon' used to combat against superheroes. Ken lived a regular life, all fun and games until his quirk manifested and he possessed a mix of his fathers and mothers quirk, his fathers black hole quirk and his mothers gravity well quirk. After no longer having use for his mother, his father disposed of her. With her random disappearence, Ken asked for her every day since. Soon his usual cheery self was lost and out came a quiet and aloof person, for the next couple of years he trained and lived in a broken down base until age of 7. The base was raided by a now retired hero top hero who at the time went by Hot shot who saved him and imprisoned his father.

For the years to come after the incident the man adopted Ken, since he had no kids and was close to retiring. He wanted to make sure his beliefs and ideals were passed on to the next generation. At first Ken was distant toward the hero and soon they got a long really well to the point where Ken thought of him as his grandfather. He trained Ken and imposed his heroic upon the young boy.

Ken showed an aptitude to be a hero, soaking up his grandfathers teachings like a sponge. Soon enough he was graduating middle school and had to think of what he wants to do, looking up to his grandfather and wanted to be like him, he wanted to be a hero as well. His grandfather recommended him to a top school; Komei academy, now is time for Ken to begin the path to becoming a hero. What might become of him?


Name: Planetary Gravitation
Classification: Emitter
Description: Kens quirk was conceived out of quirk marriage, where one reproduces with another just for their quirk. Ken obtained a combination of both his parents quirk wielding both gravity control as well as black hole like powers which he is capable of controlling to a certain extent. Because of this quirk his left hand contains a purple dot at the center of his palm. His right hand contains a black dot at the center of his palm. When he activates his quirk the dots on his hands become radiant and a black and purple orb are emitted from the corresponding hand which begins to orbit Ken. The black orb is able to pull things towards it while the purple orb can control gravity within a specified radius. These orbs however are capable of being destroyed and once they are it will take 15 minutes for Ken to create a new one.

Costume

Hero Alias:
Sol

Name:
Vanitas Suda

Gender:
Male

Age:
15

Height:
5'8"

Weight:
169 lbs

Personality:

Vanitas is a an extremely coordinated and composed person, always known to for keeping his composure even in the most harshest of situations regardless of how grim it may be. Vanitas for the most part is extremely manipulative and calculating when interacting with others, particularly women; Valtus, who has kept an a eye on him as his father, describes him as a very charismatic individual that apparently uses deception and cunning tactics to gain the upper hand, utilizing a combination of quick thinking and a natural leadership skills to get what he wants. He is very cautious when giving his trust in others, never truly allowing himself to align with anyone else without being absolutely sure of where their allegiance lies and how it will affect him, always keeping his own interests and well-being ahead of the curve, keeping himself a few steps ahead in order to predict the outcome of ahead of time and react accordingly. He is widely known to possesses the same impressive qualities and proficiency in battle that identify him as his father's son, however, Vanitas, more than anything in this world, despises his father Valtus with a level of rage that makes it unparalleled. Stemming from the fact that he was raised with by his mother without his father's support, he grew up in the small town of Cedar for most of his life, unlocking his quirk later in life the moment he became 8 years old. It hasn't until after his mother passed away when he was 11 years old that an immeasurable level of outrage emerged, holding a sense of disdain for his father for the simple fact that he wasn't present for her funeral; this single moment shaped him into the person that he is today.

Even with his angry personality, he does choose to keep his problems and fights to himself, always choosing to do things single-handedly without the aid of others; this is reflected in his concern about innocent people getting drawn into his battles, keeping them at a safe distance in order to not involve them. As bad as he does seem to be, he isn't completely heartless, Vanitas does show a level of restraint when kids are involved. He has an extreme problem with authority figures and those in control, primarily due to the simple fact that Vanitas absolutely dislikes being told what he can and can't do, often introducing him as a rough delinquent with zero respect for the law or anyone who upholds it. His sense of freedom and ability to moves as he likes is one of the few liberties he enjoys, traveling to vast locations simply because he feels like it. Even with this outlook on law and order, Vanitas in no way considers himself good and willingly seeks to be a hero, in his own way. He is highly perceptive, intelligent and quick-witted while keeping a perpetually cool, slightly disinterested attitude toward others. Vanitas has a tendency to never back down from a fight when challenged or when he issues the challenge, refusing to run once prepping himself for a fight; regardless of how strong, how big, or powerful they may be, Vanitas never runs or flees. Because of this, most people believe that Vanitas possesses some kind of death wish, but in truth, it is simply his way of exerting his dominance and strength in order for others to recognize the gap of power between themselves and him.

Background:
Star-Girl, and Graviton were the names of the greatest heroes of their time before retiring over 26 years ago to start a family together. Their injuries at the hands of a villain helped them find eachother and give birth to a child that would take on the expectations they once held as heroes. Vanitus was born to their grand legacy, a pressure he could barely stand at times especially with his father a high ranking official of the Hero Association. His mother moved to a small town in Italy to get away from the bustle and to properly train her son in case his quirk ever manifested.

Vanitas spent most of his life training and having to watch his father abandon him. Most people would go villain and rebel at the thought of their father leaving them for the heroes but his mother kept Vanitas from ever falling to that darkness. Even with her death, Vanitas was able to soldier on under his father's guardianship. He would take his family name to the Hero Academy in Japan and become the hero his mother always wanted him to be even if it meant satisfying his father's goals.

Quirk:
Photosynthesis

Classification:
Emitter

Description:

Photosynthesis is a Emitter Quirk. This Quirk functions by allowing Vanitas to absorb sunlight, and solar energy, and then later utilize them in combat in various forms, whether they be flames, or lasers. As such, the Quirk itself has a drawback, this is that it has a limited amount of fuel, which is the sunlight and solar energy, and as such must be recharged. If Vanitas manages to release all of the light stored within him, it will take him a while to recharge once more. The name of this quirk itself however, is not in vain.

While it can be used offensively, it can also be used defensively. Like photosynthesis, this Quirk is able to convert sunlight and solar energy into fuel for the body, which would allow the user of the Quirk, in this case Vanitas, even enhance his physical capabilities to greater extents. It has been shown that when this quirk is being used, it is signified by a flame appearing on the user's head, as well as their eyes turning a distinctive "sun" color, of a beautiful combination of orange, yellow, and red. This in turn makes it near impossible to sneakily use the quirk.

Talents:

Hand to Hand Combatant: Vanitas's skill within unarmed combat is undeniable. He commonly is seen fighting with it, and thus can be seen as a specialist. His skill, while not leading to any unique techniques, have caused most opponents to be on edge especially when combined with his Quirk. He shows the use of high-speed, but precise attacks that hit with a considerable amount of force. While he prefers to use a solid stance that uses his fists predominantly, he is content with alternating between the use of high kicks, low kicks and palm strikes in order to confuse an opponent and achieve victory.

Hero Alias:
Shortcut, as per his Quirk name.

Name:
Kosoku Hitoshi

Gender:
Male

Age:
15

Height:
171 cm (5'7")

Weight:
67 kg (149 lb)

Personality:
Kosoku is primarily defined by his rule-based ethic, sense of duty and discipline, all bolstered by a bizarre conviction that he is, in fact, a ninja (spoiler: he's not). In his day to day interactions, Kosoku carries a easy going and amicable demeanour, functioning comfortably regardless of his situation - even against those who don't quite reciprocate. Kosoku prefers to act in a manner that can be universalised, and he considers that cool and friendly demeanour to be something that can. On the surface of things, Kosoku is simply an easy going student who likes playing the role of the observer from time to time.

However, Kosoku's calm demeanour belies his more disciplined nature, people who observe Kosoku soon come to realise that he operates on a consistent and demanding regime. Kosoku believes that his potential can only be reached through hard-work and determination, and so he strives to reach that point in a way that seems most efficient to him. Despite the high standards he sets himself to, he refuses to set other people to those same standards, understanding that others are progressing themselves at paces that suit them too. For that reason, Kosoku is content to provide sound wisdom and assistance to anyone who seeks it; provided they can find him and ask.

His assertions that he's a ninja (spoiler: he still isn't) manifest as both pragmatism and a preference toward a supporting role. Kosoku tries to use as much as he can to his advantage, so as long as he considers it "just". He also prefers the supporting role because he feels that that's the role a ninja is supposed to play, acting from the shadows and avoiding the spotlight.

Background:
Kosoku is not a ninja, despite being frequently mistaken for one. That said, Kosoku is a descendant of the now-inactive and ancient Hitoshi Clan. In light of that past, his parents took up the mantle of running a rather successful martial arts dojo with an interesting disposition - they would help students incorporate their Quirks into martial arts to give them a unique flair. Both Kosoku's stern and duty-bound father and cordial yet pragmatic mother had developed their own fighting styles through their own Quirks, and the birth of Kosoku (and subsequent display of his powers in later years) had given the parents the prospect of training their son in a way that would incorporate their two fighting styles together.

Somewhere along that line, Kosoku became somewhat invested in that whole ninja ideal (the blame tends to veer toward the father who was really passionate about that whole ninja heritage) and the young child set about improving his skills with increased fervour. At one point, Kosoku was content to merely inherit the dojo from his parents when he got older, but eventually dismissed the idea in favour of becoming a hero (again, likely at the urging of his father who was also a hero fanatic on the side).

Now, Kosoku's enrolled at Komei, although perhaps not with the exact same convictions as everyone else.

Quirk:
Name: Shortcut
Classification: Emitter
Description:
A Quirk created by a self-teleportation Quirk and a Quirk that allowed others to be teleported. Shortcut allows Kosoku to teleport himself anywhere within 100 metres without traversing the space between. Shortcut also allows Kosoku to teleport other objects (and people he has securely grappled) that he touches with his hands anywhere within 100 metres. Shortcut has both defensive and offensive applications, with defensive applications such as dodging, and offensive applications revolving around manipulation of both himself and other objects to attack enemies.

Shortcut requires more focus than other Quirks, and is activated through a brief moment of intense concentration as Kosoku calculates his own position and then the destination he wants to move to, which means that things that hinder this concentration (pain, confusion or an inability to remain calm) will impede teleportation. Decisively fast attacks may also be able to hit Kosoku during that brief teleportation interval. Kosoku can only teleport things that he can "lift", and currently has a limit of objects of 75 kg (160 lbs). Teleporting objects slightly beyond 160 lbs is possible, but puts an immense strain on Kosoku's body. Similarly, if Kosoku were to abuse his teleportation ability and go beyond his limit (teleport too many times in quick succession), he would suffer from fatigue, further hindering his ability to teleport.

Talents:
Martial Arts. As one can imagine, Kosoku is proficient at various martial arts from his time at his parents' dojo. It makes him fairly dexterous, and the increased activity also helps to make him rather athletic. He also employs the use of that stock ninja weaponry from time to time, be it smoke bombs, kunai or the like.
