@GodOfWarStill curious in hearing more from you and your thoughts on Kazuo and Ume and how they might interact.


I can see Kazuo becoming somewhat akin to a close, also insecure friend to Ume. Once both of them acknowledge each-other's gaps in confidence, they'll find that their worries about themselves are a bit alike; both fear their quirks for what they can do to themselves and others, and both are trying to tame such a force over time. Though Ume will be rather annoyed by Kaz's snarkiness at first, she'll be extremely happy to find another person that shares her kind of fear.

Furthermore, Ume could refer to Kazuo for a lot of her combat training; Ume, at the start, will be much more of a support hero rather than someone who can engage in up-front confrontations. Kaz helping her develop some sort of fighting style would be a great way for Ume to start off her hero career.

Totally. I actually see Namie making Ume her first friend in class. Their Quirks are both fairly similar in the biological control department which is their ice-breaker. Ume is also (I believe) not very confrontational so it'll be easy for Namie to feel comfortable in the relationship as Namie won't feel aggressively competitive towards Ume. In fact going back to the Quirk thing, Namie could definitely inspire confidence Ume as Namie is secreting a gross syrup-y fiber from her body but doesn't even phase her when her arms are drenched with that stuff. So naturally, Namie would not be concerned or grossed out with Ume's Quirk and would definitely step in to tell her first friend that she shouldn't worry about it.

I imagine Namie being fairly responsive to any questions or doubt Ume voices but will likely not pry until later in their relationship once they understand each other a bit better.

I personally really like the idea of Namie exhibiting her quirk and thus leading to Ume realizing her's is not exclusively gross. It's a great scenario to sort of break into the stride of developing Ume's matured self and abilities early on.

Also, Namie would definitely be the dominant partner in the friendship; Ume could be able to admire her confidence and gradually mimic it, building her's in turn. As well, I think Ume would be a good resource for introducing some creative ways on how Namie could use her quirk. Since Ume, as I said, is more of an outside support specializing hero, she'd be able to introduce some techniques that could help Namie spread out her expertise from just combat.

Ume: I believe Ume is at a disadvantage here. Namie's bodily sap acts as a pretty effective counter to dead skin attachments simply because the sap covers her skin when excreted. With Namie having the edge in close quarters fighting, Namie just has to close the distant putting Ume on the defense. Ume can make all the walls and shields but her hesitation might make her miss an opportunity to turn a fight around. As of right now, I have no idea what tricks Ume can do to counter Namie and if you have any in mind, don't tell me because that'll be fun to be surprised alongside my character. I give Namie 7/10 victories in this one.


You're right; when push comes to shove, Ume is almost always going to lose in a 1-on-1 physical confrontation. Specifically, with Namie's attributes, I'd put the ratio more at 8/10. However, I feel like an upper-hand could be given to Ume based on the parameters of a fight, if there are any. I'm mostly thinking along the lines of the bomb-defusal training at UA, or other encounters that require an objective other than making the enemy physically submit to win. Ume's quirk is almost if not as versatile as Namie's, but is geared more to cover a larger area rather than show condensed, effective strength. When put into a situation like that, where a kind of large-scale versatility is needed, I would think the ball would be in Ume's court. Of course, she'd be double-dribbling it half the time.

However, I've been concocting some tricky applications of Ume's quirk like you anticipated, so we'll see how those work out in the long run. ;)

Hmm, I could probably have a similar power like the Cryptozoic Man, the ability to have several or change into different cryptids: Big Foot, Nessie, Wendigo, Jersey Devil...etcetera.

oooo, like the Bohemian Rhapsody stand? I like the idea.

Another neat transformation quirk would be the ability to shapeshift parts of one's body into the that of other animals; for example, turning your hands into a bear's claws, or teeth into the fangs of snake. You could do a lot with that power, and it'd be interesting to see the limitations that a quirk like that could bring along with it.

Shiori: Tough to say. I feel like this fight is closer than Internal Furnace. Namie might be able to hold the record at 5/10 but again, she'll initially fall for trying things in close quarters which she'll be at a disadvantage in terms of speed and power. The thing Namie has is endurance so depending on how hard Shiori hits (and I assumed slightly less than Kazuo), Namie could stay in the fight until Shiori drains. Does Shiori know close quarters fighting well enough? Can Namie stay in the fight until Shiori runs out of juice? I dunno. Tough to call.

I suppose this entirely depends on how hard Shiori’s mother trained her, but Shiori isn’t an untested fool all the same. She’s quick and athletic, though she has a small stature and frame; and that’s all before taking into her quirk’s abilities into consideration. But unlike Noboru, she’s not ruthless in her actions and not at all giving one hundred percent which is a large part of her flaws. A friendly exhibition match will be seen by her as a friendly match. She is not going to seek out to do maximum damage during any of a prospective fight, even if it means risking her placement in the classroom rankings.

Oh my goodness, I want to be her friend so badly! I can see her and Peter getting along super well, having common ground with severely mutated bodies and overbearing parents basically forcing them into the superhero business, and them having the yin-yang personalities of introvert/extrovert, passive/active.

I changed the quirk, added one personality trait, and more comments in the biography.

Kazuo is a poser and a cuck. NobuNobu, a pure-hearted and just young hero, has better things to do than lower himself so far.

Kazuo gonna grow up and become a teacher the way he's gonna be helping classmates fight and grow stronger XD

No but in all seriousness, I do like that. He is afraid of what might happen if he were to fight all out with no regard for control and how badly he could damage something or someone.

Unfortunately, despite opening up two more slots in the beginning of the RP we have come to the situation where we have to decide on four characters. Choosing between six excellent characters that could’ve been interesting on how they play out with the cast we have was rather difficult and for the greater part of the weekend and Monday afternoon we were working out what we liked the most and seemed to fit the best. As everyone was made aware, Drew and myself were a little concerned at the concept of accepting too many gaijin-oriented characters and at the most we were ready to accept two at most. This means that one character of the three gaijin applications just didn’t “click” for us the least of the three for a variety of reasons; it is unfortunate we had to choose at all. Beyond foreign students that left us with two slots and three other characters to choose from, and although we liked every single one of them we liked the premise of two of them slightly more.

For those that didn’t make it, I’m sorry that you didn’t! But in the end we had to look at the characters presented and make an estimated choice. Ultimately this means the final acceptance goes to these four characters:

- @Ebil Bunny’s Peter Koro
- @Raijinslayer’s Isabella Yumi
- @Dblade26’s Hirohiko Yamabuki
- @Asura’s Nadeshiko Akizawa

Welcome to Ishin High. Please post your characters in the character tab.

I will say this as co-GM: if we have a situation where people have to drop the RP, Ink and I have written the lore of IA that it could make sense to have students "wait-listed" and could be brought in if a student was determined to be inadequate/they drop out.

You guys will be the first contacted if that happens!
