Name: Hedoro, Gomi
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance: Gomi, thanks to his quirk, is entirely composed of a thick sludge and is packed togethor into a relatively human form. His voice is created by vibrating his body, and is fairly deep and has a slight echo to it. He can weigh anywhere between 20 and 250 pounds, and can be between 10 inches and 7 feet in height. Due to his quirk, he is unable to wear most clothes, the best he can manage being masks and maybe a hat.
Quirk: Sludge Body
Gomi's quirk causes his entire body to be composed entirely of an extremely thick, mud-like substance. This alone renders him very resistant to most physical attacks, and he is capable of condensing himself enough to fit into a space as small as a 1.5 liter soda bottle, as well as shifting into different shapes with a few seconds of concentration (Although, this shifting must keep him in a relatively humanoid shape). Sludge Body's primary ability, however, is that Gomi is capable of fusing himself onto another person's body, usually after a minute or two of work. This offers the 'Host' a significant boost to strength (essentially adding Gomi's strength onto the host), but an even larger boost to durability - Not as strong as Gomi's own, but still enough to be better than many armors. Gomi can reabsorb blown off portions of his body, but this process takes minutes at the least, and many hours at most, making it useless in a fight.

Gomi's max limit to size is 7 feet, and fusing with people above that size is impossible. Excess sludge that is made via eating and drinking will simply be expelled like waste if the limit is already met. Due to his physiology, many healing quirks are ineffective on him, so the only reliable way to heal is to eat, drink, and hope that he isn't missing enough mass that he'll die. This healing process is very slow, and it could take months to recover a limbs worth of damage. Gomi is very weak to the cold, and can freeze very easily. He'll be fine after being thawed out, but freezing him while he is fused with someone will encase them in an icy prison. Gomi lacks fine motor manipulation, and cannot do things that require dexterity greater than that of a five year old.

Questions:

• Given its reputation, why apply to Kokoro Academy?
  "You guys already read the reports my last school sent over, so not much left to say. I got a couple stains on my record, and everybody loses their shit... Sorry for swearing, sir. Anyways, My record isn't clean enough by any stretch to make it into U.A or Shiketsu, so I ain't even gonna try them. Plus, uh... My grades aren't the best, so even with an okay quirk, I doubt most schools would accept me. This place was my first choice, so lucky you guys!"
• Why do you want to be a professional hero?
  "You probably already know since I'm applying, but my dad used to be... well, he was a villain. He also wasn't that good of a person - drank, hit me and mom sometimes, generally a D-bag. Eventually he was caught and locked up, and from then on, kids at every school I've been to either ignored me, beat me up, or tried to beat me up before my quirk made their tries pointless and then ignored me instead. My guess is they were scared before he was arrested, and they wanted to act like big shots for beating up a villains son.
  
  Ever since then, I've wanted nothing more than to be a pro hero - can you imagine the look on their face when I roll up on their house with a group of paparazzi or a hot wife, and then tell them that I'm a hero? And don't say it's petty, plenty of people who helped the world did it as a big middle finger to some random bully or a girl who rejected them or something.
  
  Oh, uh, and helping people is cool too, I guess."
• What kind of professional hero do you want to become?
  "I wanna do the flashy crap. The kinda stuff that gets your name on the news and people give you free stuff cause you're a badas- I mean, a cool dude. Other than the recognition, I don't really care what work I do - rescue work, fighting villains, anything is fine with me. As long as I got something to rub in people's faces when they talk crap about me or my family."
• Best describe yourself in five sentences.
  "I'm a bit rough around the edges, but I definitely mean well - that's what my mom told me to say, if I'm being honest with you. I personally think that I'm pretty easy to anger, and I'm not gonna lie and say I won't start any fights. I'd say that I have a pretty loose sense of honor in a fight, which you kinda need when it's hard to even aim your punches. Still, I know what's right and wrong, and I've tried to do the right thing all my life. Some people said that I'm not the best student, but it's hard to be when you can barely use a pencil... Yeah, that's why my grades aren't that good."
• What are you interests and hobbies apart?
  "Pretty hard to have many interests when you're made of mud. I like table top games since someone else can write my character sheets for me, and I guess anime is cool. I like listening to music, especially classical, and my mom said that I used to want to be a pianist before my quirk manifested. Does quirk training count as a hobby? I do that pretty often, especially since I lost most of my delicate manipulators. I'm pretty interested in law I guess - or, more specifically, mom was pretty interested in law since dad always got in trouble with it."
• Are there any notable accomplishments you want to us to be aware of?
  "If I had anything major, I wouldn't really need to be a hero to rub my success into people's faces. I guess my biggest accomplishment is that I went from being hospitalized as a child since my quirk made me lose mass constantly, to the point where I can even apply at a school for heroes. Not the greatest of achievements, but it took a lot of work and I'm proud of it."
• Tell us something about your quirk that most might not know? Any events or memories, be it joyous or ill, tied to it?
  "If I didn't know better, I'd say you guys didn't do your reading - this is probably to test me and see if I get pissed easy. Well, I do, but nice try at making me crack. My quirk comes from my dad, who is currently locked up in a penitentiary in a whole other prefecture, and he used it to be a pretty bad villain. I'll admit - he was probably better with it than I am, considering he can do the whole 'control people' thing, but I can do my own stuff. Plus, it caused me to have to redo a year of school since I spent a few months in the hospital learning how to use it.
  
  Anyways, back on track - while I'm mostly liquid, I'm actually pretty resistant to heat, and can take more heat than most normal people. In addition, I can fit through pretty much any space, and can condense myself to fit into small containers - planned on making that some special move, or something... Just need someone to open them for me. Not really a secret, but moving fast causes my body to make pretty loud noises, so stealth is a no go if I want to move. I haven't left a trail since I was a kid, but really porous stuff like sponges and sand make me lose mass quick, so I really don't like them."
• Why should we consider you over the other applicants? What can you offer that they cannot?
  "To be quite frank - I can take a lot of shit. You learn how when your dad has a power complex, your mom used to be scared of how you looked, and not even mentioning how the kids at school acted when they found out my dad was a killer. It doesn't matter what you throw at me, I'll take it and deal, which is a hell of a lot more than some people. If that ain't enough, my quirk synergizes well with pretty much anybody, so it'll be easier for the teacher to assign group work I guess? It's been a long day and I'm not used to being so formal, sorry if I'm reaching for straws here."

Name: Datari Shun
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 124 lbs

At first glance, Shun lacks the larger-than-life physical presence typical of big name heroes; he's lean and effeminate, and could probably pass for a girl in the right lighting. While he's clearly not setting any strength records, his build believably matches a runner or gymnast, and he has the flexibility and leg strength to back it up. Small areas of his body seem to dissociate into pixel-like bits at random, seemingly without physical consequence; as if he were a video game character experiencing a weird graphical glitch. The frequency of this phenomenon seems to increase when Shun is nervous or unsettled, or when he's recently used his quirk.

Shun is nothing if not energetic, and can be frequently seen exhibiting some idle tic when standing or sitting still; ranging from innocent tapping of fingers to outright bouncing up and down on his feet. He's likewise very animated when talking, channeling his usual enthusiasm and boundless energy into grand gesticulations and dramatic faces.

Quirk: Pixelation - Shun is capable of short-ranged teleportation (at most a few meters) by discorporating himself into small cuboid bits. His movement can be vaguely predicted by watching the direction of movement the pixels seem to flow in immediately upon his pixelation, and he requires time to restabilize his body after each "jump". Repeated use of his quirk in a short period of time leads to an increasingly unstable body, resulting in impaired vision, coordination, movement, and eventually cognitive function at high levels of bodily corruption.

Questions:

• Given its reputation, why apply to Kokoro Academy?
  "Given my, ahem, stellar academic record and grades, did I really have another choice? Who wants to go to U.A. anyway? I don't. And that's not just because I applied and got rejected. I'm sure Kokoro isn't as bad as the rumors say! I don't need state of the art institutions to be a good hero, what matters is attitude and positivity!"
• Why do you want to be a professional hero?
  "Because they're awesome! Wait, that's not a good answer, let me try again! I don't necessarily think someone like me will get too famous or anything, my quirk isn't too flashy and it's not all that awe-inspiring. But, I think it's a real honor to have people look up to you and trust you with their safety, even if it's just a few fans. Even the lowest ranked sidekick can change a person's life if that hero helps them in their time of need, and I aspire to be that change."
• What kind of professional hero do you want to become?
  "The kind of hero everyone should want to be, one who makes people feel safe and protected! Although, even if people underestimate me, that's just an advantage in my book. Kinda hurts my pride, but... an advantage nevertheless! I think I could be a good asset to a group in a combat or rescue situation. I'm fast, and I can sweep an area for fleeing villains or civilians in peril at the very least. Plus I'm gonna be super good at fighting! That's what they teach in hero programs, right?
• Best describe yourself in five sentences.
  "Well, people say I ramble a lot and just say whatever comes to mind and that I have this 'stream of consciousness' way of talking. Which is a bit true, but I like to think it makes me honest! It's very important, in my opinion, to let other people in on your thought process during high-stress situations, so that everyone can contribute to thinking out the best plan. I may not get model grades, but I like to think I have a shrewd mind for tactics when it counts, since my quirk's main advantage in a fight is positioning. And I'm a great team player! I don't expect much glory anyway, and it's better to efficiently save people than show off for the media, I think. Admittedly, a lot of people think I'm annoying and that I have no regard for personal space but I swear I try my best to be friendly! They must just be shy, or something."
• What are you interests and hobbies apart?
  "Kickboxing! I was never very big, even when I was little, so whenever I told people I wanted to be a hero they'd, y'know, laugh. That's why I had to learn to fight! I think my mom ended up suggesting it originally. Mostly because she claimed it would help me 'burn off energy' so I wouldn't keep 'bouncing off the walls' because 'Shun, you broke the expensive vase' and I told her I was sorry like a hundred times but- Sorry, off topic. But I ended up with pretty nice legs out of the deal! Martial arts also prepared me for getting beat up a lot! Which is a useful skill in the hero profession, I'd assume? I'm into the usual teenager stuff too, video games and what not. People think my quirk lets me cheat, though. I think it's the look, because I definitely haven't found out a way to do that yet."
• Are there any notable accomplishments you want to us to be aware of?
  "Well, I did mention I already knew how to fight, sort of. I can't exactly overpower people per se, but I can just warp to whereever their guard is down, at least in theory. I almost won a kickboxing competition once but then a guy who was so big, he had to have a muscle quirk, kicked me in the jaw. Which was totally unfair, because my quirk was against the rules but his was fine! And it might've been only the third round but I could've totally took all the guys after him if he wasn't there!
• Tell us something about your quirk that most might not know? Any events or memories, be it joyous or ill, tied to it?
  "I can take stuff with me when I jump! Small things, mostly, like clothes. I have to be touching it. I've never really tried with another person because I'm afraid I might not put them back together right. It's a real pain when I don't coalesce correctly after a jump, so I'd hate to do that to someone else. Especially if they don't just fix themselves like I do, they could be all pixel-y forever! And that's if my quirk can even handle something that big, most people are bigger than I am! As for stories, there was that thing I mentioned earlier with the vase. I may have been trying to literally bounce off the walls with my quirk and I may have overused it and it may have resulted in a very confused and sick-feeling me knocking the expensive art piece off the nice table. I swear, I was just trying to practice for when I'd be scaling walls in an alleyway in a big fight with a villain! Does that happen, or is that just a movie thing?"
• Why should we consider you over the other applicants? What can you offer that they cannot?
  "I think that a lot of people would be bitter about only getting into a school with such a, erm, reputation and might not do their best. That's why I think that their negativity needs something cheery to balance it out! I used to put myself down a lot when I was little, and I learned that negativity doesn't breed success. So, I think I'd be conductive to classroom culture! I swear I'm not disruptive. At least not intentionally, sometimes I just get really eager to understand something but the teacher usually looks at me like an idiot when I ask. Actually, in hindsight, it may have just been because I usually blurted it out. Beyond that, though, I think I have the makings of a good hero if I work hard, and would be extremely honored to take part in your academic program in order to live out my dreams!"

Text Color: 2EFEC8

Name and Surname: Shiori Sanyu

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Height: 5'6" Weight: 125lbs
Sanyu has a wavy, up-to-shoulders hair that is pinned up on a messy bun on the top of her head. Her body language is daring and she has a high yet coarse voice. She has an angular jaw and just a few small freckles dotted over her face. On the left side of Sanyu’s face she has a jagged, light scar she got from falling from a tree as a child. She tells everyone she got it from fighting a villain, though.
She keeps water on her at all times.

Quirk Name: Molecular Overdrive

Quirk Ability & drawbacks: Can rapidly increase an object’s molecules’ vibration, heating any surface or even air around her to burning temperatures. The heat gets stronger the closer you are to her. The more conductive to heat the matter is, the more effective the quirk is, and vice versa. The quirk is stronger in sunlight.
If trained, the quirk has the capacity to melt or burn pretty almost any surface, with serious damage on the user.

The drawback is that a using the quirk makes the user severely dehydrated due to sweating, increasingly fast the hotter it is. If Sanyu continues beyond dehydration, she gets complications such as fever and loss of consciousness. She can also get severe burns on her skin.

Sanyu cannot control the direction of her quirk.

She uses her quirk mostly to heat up tea or meals at the moment. Sometimes she likes to mess with her friends by heating up the floor they stand on just enough for it to be too uncomfortable to stand on, screaming "floor is lava".

Characteristics:

Sanyu loves diving headfirst into action, so she acts accordingly. Charismatic and waaay over-confident, Sanyu is the kind of person who can become a bully if you don’t know her well. She loves showing off with her quirk, even though in reality she isn’t the speediest or the most intelligent of the bunch, and doesn’t control it that well. She acts big and like her quirk, she is hot-headed. Sanyu has a lot of energy and she loves being social, if not a little provoking.
Sanyu is very competitive, but she hates cheaters and liars. She can’t stand being left out or not being able to do anything. She is driven by her want to get stronger, but she often forgets her own limits and ends up in bedrest because of that. Sanyu is also known to be the one to blow things out of proportions for a good story. She really almost believes her own stories, too. You want her to be your friend rather than your foe, that’s for sure.
She already has a hero name thought out, too: Fusion Flare. She’s flashy, for sure.

History:

Sanyu’s parents’ quirks are what combined into her quirk. Her mother had the quirk to manipulate temperatures around her, whereas her father had the quirk of weakly molding simple molecular structures around him. Neither of them were heroes, but they had Sanyu to fill that role in their family, putting all the pressure on her. They convinced Sanyu that her quirk was super powerful, more powerful than it truly is, which made her as cocky as she is today. Sanyu's parents really weren't that great, either. Sanyu's whole life growing up was of them coaching her to become a hero to make their family famous. Their family was poor, however, and didn’t really have the resources to send Sanyu to a good hero school.

Questions:

• Given its reputation, why apply to Kokoro Academy?
  “No hero academy wants a girl who hurts herself every time she uses her quirk. This wasn't my first choice, but it ended up being the best one in terms of location and what my goals are. Kokoro Academy seemed like the perfect place for me. Besides, who doesn't root for an underdog academy? I totally want to study here, it just proves how it doesn't matter where you come from, you can still be a hero.”
• Why do you want to be a professional hero?
  “‘Cus I’m the best, obviously. Well. My parent’s really want me to become a hero. It’s my duty to become a hero. That's what they want, and that's what my destiny is, too. I will become a hero to bring honor to my family and to show everyone it's not about your background, it's about the power you have.”
• What kind of professional hero do you want to become?
  “The kind that kicks ass and gets fame and recognition. And of course, I want to help people.”
• Best describe yourself in five sentences.
  “Bold. The best. Fair. Funny. Resilient... Wait, did you say sentences? Well... I'm pretty confident. I can't stand people who cheat, and I have a super great sense of humour. I strive to make my quirk stronger every day, too. My quirk gives me the ability to heat things up. There are no fire included, but the nature of my quirk makes it much more flexible to use than mere flames.”
• What are you interests and hobbies?
  “I like to play ‘floor is lava’ with my friends. My quirk is perfect for that and other everyday stuff. I also like to bake on my free time. I’m quite good at it, if I say so myself. I like all sorts of competitions and training. I play games a lot to get into the mood.
• Are there any notable accomplishments you want to us to be aware of?
  “Yes! I fought this villain when I was little and got this cool scar from it. I won, obviously.” (She’s lying; got the scar after falling from a tree. Never fought a villain.) "I've won many playground fights, too. My quirk is perfect for taking on multiple opponents at once."
• Tell us something about your quirk that most might not know? Any events or memories, be it joyous or ill, tied to it?
  “I love heating up my green tea with my quirk. It’s so handy, and also my tea never gets cold. And I guess there was that one time when I got really mad and accidentally melted the floor I was standing on. I passed out after, so I don’t remember much of it. You might not know that I can melt stuff with my touch. It's something that I need to focus on really hard to do, but if I get the right training, it can be a real good move. At the moment the area of my quirk is relatively small, but if I get really worked up, I can extend it to mid-range lengths. It can be used both offensively and defensively, and it can be used in super creative ways.”
• Why should we consider you over the other applicants? What can you offer that they cannot?
  “Because I’m the best, that’s why. I clearly have the superior quirk and I could totally apply to any academy I wanted to and get in just like that. So I’m the perfect choice for you. I'm bold, determined and never give up. I will bring good publicity to your school by becoming a professional hero who studied here.”
  
  Misc.:
  Shiori is actually Sanyu's first name, Sanyu being her last name. Everyone calls her Sanyu though, mostly because that's what her parents also call her.

Questions:

• Given its reputation, why apply to Kokoro Academy?
  
  "Not many schools will accept a deaf hero hopeful. I also don't have parental consent. Kokoro Academy is giving me a chance no other school will."
• Why do you want to be a professional hero?
  
  "Heroes are so fixated on 'villains'. I want to be there for the ones whose oppressors are overlooked. Victims of...domestic violence. I want to believe that my life has meaning, has a purpose. That my suffering was worth something."
• What kind of professional hero do you want to become?
  
  "I want to be a hero who promotes social awareness. Who empowers people to save themselves from their own situations."
• Best describe yourself in five sentences.
  
  "People have described me as severe and judgmental. Some say that I tend to be condescending, but that's only because a lot of people are just wasting my time. I am a bit of a perfectionist and I place high value on individual effort and independence. I don't believe that systems, environments, institutions, or fate can truly stop a motivated individual and I won't accept that excuse from anyone. I am driven when it comes to my goals and will do whatever it takes to achieve them, but I play by the books and will not resort to cheap tactics."
• What are you interests and hobbies?
  
  "I live alone, so I'm pretty busy between school and my part-time job. I know sign language and I'm fairly decent at reading lips. I'm also highly organized and take great notes, and because of work, I also have basic money-keeping and managerial skills... I guess those aren't really hobbies. I am good at track and field activities, though. I can also play 'Red River Valley' on the harmonica. I can't hear it, but I know it by heart. I wear one as a necklace. It's a gift from my father, a memento of a time...before he started taking his frustrations out on me. Let's talk about something else."

• Are there any notable accomplishments you want us to be aware of?
  
  "None worth mentioning, I'm trash...sorry..."
• Tell us something about your quirk that most might not know? Any events or memories, be it joyous or ill, tied to it?
  
  "I was raised by a typical deadbeat father; my mother had left before I could remember. I actually have the same quirk as my father, and his words to me were always, 'You can't outrun me'. An abusive drunk, he made my life a stoic hell. At school I struggled to hide the details of my home environment out of shame, while simultaneously trying my hardest to secure good grades. At home I did chores and tried to placate my father's sporadic wrath. All attempts to escape failed. Except for the last time. I discovered a previously unknown aspect of my quirk, something my deadbeat father never figured out for himself. I called it, 'Thunder Road'. In my final attempt to escape him, in a shining moment of pure freedom, I overused Thunder Road, an effort which has rendered me deaf."
• Why should we consider you over the other applicants? What can you offer that they cannot?
  
  "I am determined! I will work harder than anyone! My quirk might be weird, but with the right equipment, I think I can really put it to good use."

Theme:

𝔸𝕡𝕡𝕖𝕒𝕣𝕒𝕟𝕔𝕖
Some would look into those dead, dark eyes and think that Teruko was bored. Others would look into those bagged, heavy eyes and think that Teruko was tired. Still more would look into those glassy, drooping eyes and think that Teruko was apathetic. Perhaps she’s the poster child of all that’s wrong with society’s children these days, robbed of imagination and spirit by the internet, naught but a druggie counting the seconds till she can get her next hit. Her frame is small and thin, her countenance that of a non-descript background character. Her shampoo is scentless and she’s scentless alongside it. Her hair’s kept short with immaturely handled scissors, and her nails have never been manicured once.

Some would laugh at how little Teruko cares about her appearance. Others would wonder if she was actually trying to go for that boyish look. Still more would just pass her over, thinking that she’s just another child. But their eyes always change when her arms turn into greater machinery, pulsating with raw, limitless power, burning with the resplendence of jet-flame.

Angry burn scars can be traced spiralling up from her forearms to her shoulders. She rarely wears short sleeves, and wears a diving suit for swimming classes.

ℚ𝕦𝕚𝕣𝕜
Teruko’s Quirk, Dragoon, is an Emitter-Type Quirk that enables her to manifest mechanized armor over her arms. Often a pale red in color, these armor pieces are incredibly durable, and can be modified to suit the situation, from massive hunks of armor for large-scale defensive or offensive operations to slim, streamlined pieces for more precise combat. Beyond that, however, Teruko is also able to add rocket boosters onto her armor pieces, providing further propulsive power. With this, she adds mobility and speed to her capabilities as well, enabling short-term flight and explosive combat speed. If considered from an RPG standard, Teruko has all the tools she needs to become a physical bruiser, an exceptional hero following the footsteps of Tonare.

But while the fuel for her rockets and the material for her armor comes from sheer guts and determination, prolonged combat causes overheating. Teruko’s body may have adapted to the extreme temperatures that any armored part of her body suffers, but even that adaptation has its limits. Her might may be conceptually limitless, but practically, she can only go so far before her flesh melts off her bones.

ℚ𝕦𝕖𝕤𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕤

• Given its reputation, why apply to Kokoro Academy?
  It was my back up school. Can't skip school for a year after all.
• Why do you want to be a professional hero?
  Because I have the power to. And if something bad happened when I had the power to stop it, then it'd be my fault that it happened. It's a waste to have this Quirk otherwise, right?
• What kind of professional hero do you want to become?
  It'd be best if I could become like Tonare. A ridiculous response time owing to incredible aerial and ground-based mobility. An overwhelming amount of power that can smash through even foes that are bad match ups. The physical strength and stamina to participate in rescue operations from beginning to end. The resilience to continue to give one's best throughout their entire career. A bold and imposing visage that is instantly recognizable even from afar. I have all the pieces in place. It's only natural that I should aspire to become that sort of all-encompassing hero, right?
• Best describe yourself in five sentences.
  I'm 4'11, skinny, with brown hair and blue eyes. My Quirk, Dragoon, is an Emitter-type Quirk that allows me to create mechanized armor pieces over my arms, generating powerful blows and granting significant defensive capabilities as well. Summoning armor over my right arm is the most natural for me, but simultaneous generation isn't too hard either. I don't get too much exercise, but I think my stamina is pretty good. People think that I'm weird for bringing a diving suit for swimming lessons, but that's just normal for me.
• What are you interests and hobbies?
  There's a bunch of things I do to fill up my time, but I wouldn't say I'm interested enough in them to make them into hobbies. It's just things that I do. You understand that sorta stuff? Guess hanging out with friends is nice though. But that's normal.
• Are there any notable accomplishments you want to us to be aware of?
  I got accepted by UA via recommendations, but various complications came up, so I ended up declining. Does that sound like I'm bragging? Sorry. I've won some Quirk-based competitions as well. The thing where they make obstacle courses and expect you to destroy cardboard targets while passing through places? Yeah, those. Outside of that, I've...no, nevermind, those are irrelevant.
• Tell us something about your quirk that most might not know? Any events or memories, be it joyous or ill, tied to it?
  My Quirk has no hard limits in terms of output. When it comes to Plus Ultra I can always, always, always go further. It'll just be a problem after the adrenaline wears off.
• Why should we consider you over the other applicants? What can you offer that they cannot?
  Raw power, speed, durability, coupled with a strong sense of duty to my heroic calling. There will be others applying to Kokoro Academy who have such qualities, no doubt, but I don't think you have enough applicants with this combination that you can consider all others over myself. So hey, if you accept me, Kokoro Academy will be the place where the 'next Number One' studied in. Ah, was that too much? Sorry.

Name: Ieva Koizumi.
Age: 16 - Sixteen.
Gender: ♀ - Female.

Appearance:
Ieva stands at a sturdy 5 feet and 4 inches with a sturdy build and a half-oriental complexion, reflecting her mixed Japanese-European heritage. Her dark brown hair - which is often left styled by her pillow - often falls in the way of her pale blue eyes, which often hang bags underneath them. Veins press through her skin across her body, accompanied by an extensive range of tattoos and an ever-changing collection of scrapes and bruises. The faint smell of cigarettes often lingers on her clothing, mixed with her deodorant "of choice" (the one on sale) for the month.

If there ever was a victim of "resting bitch face", it's Ieva. Her outward demeanor is often described as cold and mean: complete with head cocks, disdainful glares, and thuggish expressions. In contrast of this, she often makes an effort to seem friendly and approachable, which often either falls flat and seems forced or makes her seem colder; the best example of this would be when she attempted the 'saving with a smile' approach, where her smile only made her look scarier.

Quirk:
Ieva's quirk, aptly named "Black", is an emitter-type quirk that allows Ieva to freely merge her body with anything colored black: ranging completely from the more conventional black paint to more obscure blacks such as darkness and shadows. She is able to take people or objects with her with extra effort, the effort required corresponding with size and how much they move around while being transported. At her current skill level, she can briefly move an average sized man through her quirk - long enough to, for example, pull someone out of collapsing rubble.

Ieva is particularly vulnerable to foes and enviroments that produce lots of light, whether intentionally or as a byproduct - such as light produced by fire. Foes that can alter their environment, whether through quirk or through damage, also are particularly dangerous to her, making it more difficult for her to navigate and essentially negating her mobility.

• Given its reputation, why apply to Kokoro Academy?
"I understand that if you are asking this question, then we both understand the reputation Kokoro Academy has. As I am sure you understand, I am not a good person: tardy and absent in my classes, an extensive criminal record for a 16 year old, and my regrettable time as what many would consider a villain. I will not be considered for most of the countries hero courses for these reasons, which puts me here, writing to you. Please forgive me for being forward. I hope we always be honest with one another in future, even if it may be unpleasant."

• Why do you want to be a professional hero?
"I want to turn my life around. I've done terrible things in my life and I want to make it up to the world before my time in this world is over. There are many ways I can do this, but heroes and villains are two sides of the same coin. It's all I know, the only real skill I have, and the best way for me to make up for what I once did."

• What kind of professional hero do you want to become?
"I'm sorry, but I don't know how to answer this question. I want people to live comfortable and happy lives so I want to do what needs to be done to make that happen. I have no specific kind or type of hero that I aspire to become, or at least not yet."

• Best describe yourself in five sentences.
"Please don't make me admit this in front of my potential classmates, but I am flawed, but I think that is what makes me a great hero student. I have a short temper, I can be impulsive, I lack discipline, and I don't like to deal with difficult things. I know that I am not a good person and that I have a long way to go before I can become a professional hero, but I do know about how villains and crime works because I have been there. What I do have is a genuine desire to grow and learn, to change and become someone that can inspire others. I hope that I can trust your academy with my humility and help me become somebody you can be proud to call one of your old students."

• What are you interests and hobbies?
"I'm interested in motorcycles and spend a lot of my time maintaining my motorcycle and exploring rural areas with it. I enjoy playing mahjong and video games but don't spend much time doing it as it feels like wasted time. I've had a long time interest in cooking that I've recently turned into a hobby and have started to dabble in painting after being inspired by my quirk."

• Are there any notable accomplishments you want to us to be aware of?
"Nothing specifically. The most notable accomplishment would be sending this application to you after everything before this."

• Tell us something about your quirk that most might not know? Any events or memories, be it joyous or ill, tied to it?
"I can take people and objects with me when I use black. I've used it to help people escape from dead ends and to put people in traps before. When I was in juvenile prison, they put me in a cell with bright lights on around the clock and an airlock door. It made me feel really claustrophobic. I think that I'm so used to being able to escape from most places with my quirk that when I was completely trapped, it made me scared. Please don't make me admit that to my potential classmates either."

• Why should we consider you over the other applicants? What can you offer that they cannot?
"I think my best answer would be what I've already written in the five sentences about myself. I am a humble blank slate who knows about the enemy of heroes and society. Please, I beg of you, help me become somebody you can be proud of one day."

Sakimoto Hiroki

15

Male

Saitama, Saitama Profecture

Standing 179 cm tall and weighing approx 81 kg with a lean muscular build. He's been hitting the gym alot lately getting prepared for the entrance exams. He has a blue skin tone with red strips across random parts of his body. His turbine wrists appear to be metallic in nature.

Hiroki grew up in a competitive family that had deep ties with a hero agency that oversaw Saitama's safety and for that, he has grown up believing that he was going to be a hero. Because of that, he is proud to the point of arrogance. Hiroki's been described as a bit of a hot shot, and a show off. His family didn't discipline him enough even if he did screw up, praising and supporting his ability to jump into action, and this has also given him a bit of a trouble making streak. He believes that he can get away with things that others can't due to his skill and brashness. He's an over achiever when it comes to school, sports, or heroism.

While competitive, he's also humble and self reflecting. Even in victory he finds the flaws and lack of skill. It drives him forward to improve but at a cost of never being able to settle or compromise, making him come across as stubborn and self deprecating. He kind of expects the same attitude when it comes to others. He was a bit of bully while in school, riding high on his quirk and family name so he comes across as a bit blunt and harsh, but its a kind of tough love, driving others to push forward just like he does to himself. He's not a loner by any means, and will support the group, but he will inevitably try to stand out from them.

Mutation

He calls his quirk Turbine His forearms from elbow to wrist are bulbous and expanded tube like structures that look and act like miniature jet engines, open at the elbow and the wrist, his hand going through it as if he was wearing big metal gauntlets. The blades inside of his forearms spin extremely fast drawing in air on the front and expelling it through the other side. If the blades spin the other way, air is drawn in through the back and expelled through the front. This allows him to create a cyclone suction effect that draws in a vacuum of wind, or he blows air through the front with a powerful air blast whatever he's pointing his arm at. For the suction effect the closer the items are, the stronger the pull is, with the effect wearing off to a slight breeze at about 30 meters. For the air blasting effect effect, he can apply enough force to actually propel himself off the ground and achieve flight for a very limited amount of time (9 seconds of prolonged use) or knock someone off their feet at close range.

He can put his hands together to amplify the effect, but he hasn't figured out how to have one of his jets spin one way, and the other arm to spin the other way. There is also a noticeably slow down, speed up, period, so he cant use suction and then blast instantly. From full suction to full blast, it takes about three seconds.

The quirk requires that both sides of the turbine cylinder be open for air intake and outtake. He also needs to be careful that nothing gets sucked up that can damage the interior blades. Sucking up nails or bolts or bits of metal would not be a good idea. If anything gets clogged in the turbine, it will no longer function, requiring a complicated and lengthy cleaning process. Additionally he needs to eat oily and greasy foods on a daily basis otherwise the turbine begins to lose lubrication and could seize up during use, which is debilitatingly painful, cramping the seized limb which needs time to recover. This also happens when he tries to push things over his limits, like with the six seconds of extended flight. His power quickly dwindles, and if he forces it beyond that point, the blades will seize up just like as if he didn't lubricate them. Obviously, while his forearms are naturally plated for added protection, if anything dents the plates, it's as painful as a natural bone break and will need to heal as normal.

Name: Douglas, Goro
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance:

While naturally inclined toward slenderness, his is a body he has worked to strengthen. The majority of his form is rubbery and fiercely luminescent, though toward the extremities it becomes ordinary skin, though very tan. Goro stands at 5'9” and weighs 150 lbs.
Personality: Goro is empathetic, polite, eloquent, and highly moral, but also tends to be overanxious and can act brashly. Moreover, he possesses a powerful inferiority complex that convinces him that the reason people don't like or respect him is that he doesn't do enough for them to prove his worthiness. He doesn't typically take the initiative in interacting with others, and is inclined toward both giving up on others and thinking little of himself. However, he does fundamentally want to help others out and make their lives easier, reasoning that everyone deserves peace and happiness, and on occasion he does manage to open up and let his light shine.
Abridged History: The son of an immigrant from America and a native Japanese woman, Goro faced a troubled upbringing, due in no small part to his quirk. Despite possessing a power that seemingly demands that he stand out, he spent much of his childhood trying to hide once it manifested. His parents, though eternally strapped for cash and somewhat hindered by his father's lack of familiarity with the culture, provided for him as best they could, but he remained a social and economic outcast. Though things often seemed bleak, he never stopped admiring the world's heroes, particularly those who through will and ingenuity turned mundane or unfortunate quirks into formidable tools of justice. Desperate to make something of himself, he often volunteered or took odd jobs, and when the chance came he worked part-time alongside school. His sights never left heroism, however, and he made it his goal to enroll at a hero academy.
Quirk: Vitalight – a Mutation-type quirk that's led Goro's tissues, primarily on his torso and head, to produce large amounts of light not unlike sunlight. Though this quirk is always at work, Goro can to a degree control how much light is produced and how strong it is, most acutely through his face. The light he gives off contains a very high concentration of energetic nutrients, and when a steady amount is provided to another individual, it contiuously replenishes stamina and -if the subject has a quirk- also continuously 'refills' that person's quirk, allowing it to be used longer and a bit stronger than normal. Goro can also 'flash' his light in a very strong, directed burst capable of blinding or even stunning a target.

Of course, Vitalight is not without its drawbacks. Support provided to someone else demands that Goro continuously shine his light on not just that target but that target's skin, which means he has to concentrate to maintain his aim and that support can't be given to heavily-clothed targets. More glaringly, Goro possesses a finite amount of extra light to give, drawing from his own stamina. Bursts take an impractical amount of stamina, and said bursts are ineffective against enemies wearing eye protection, not facing him, and even closing their eyes.

Questions:

• Given its reputation, why apply to Kokoro Academy?
  “I'd like to say that it's because this school, in a way, is the most appealing. To be candid, my family is not terribly well-off, either in terms of money or social standing. That means other schools are simply beyond our means. Plus, while my quirk is good it isn't scholarship material and I'm not the sort of natural prodigy that some of the other schools are looking for. Most people in my position would have chosen a normal career, but I still want to be a hero, so I'm taking the best path I can.”
• Why do you want to be a professional hero?
  “There's a lot of suffering in the world. A lot of people struggle to live day to day, whether that means finding a job, finding a partner, or finding a reason to live. I've had it rough myself, but I always looked up to real heroes. No matter what heavy burdens weigh upon them, they persevere and attempt to make the world a better place. So that's what I want to do, too. To ease the suffering, and especially to take a stand against the kind of people who're more than happy to make things worse for everyone.”
• What kind of professional hero do you want to become?
  “I see myself becoming a support hero, the kind of person who's a pivotal part of a team or the partner anyone can rely on. My quirk can make other people stronger, after all. I'd be more than happy to be a 'hero of heroes', so to speak, by which I mean I help out the people who're so busy helping others that they might not realize they need help themselves.”
• Best describe yourself in five sentences.
  “W-well...I am conscientious, always trying to do right by others and by the law. I'm somewhat of a perfectionist, so for me there's no ' it's good enough' or 'it's probably nothing' or 'it's not my responsibility'. If I make a mistake, I own it and learn from it; there's never a limit to doing and being better. Even if I don't become the next number-one hero, I know that I can in some small part make the world a better place, so I suppose I'm an optimist too.”
• What are you interests and hobbies?
  "I work a lot outside of school, and with free time I also do some volunteer work, but as for typical hobbies I'd probably say gymnastics and reading. Healthy mind, healthy body. If it counts, I also tend the roof garden on our apartment. There's a certain satisfaction to growing your own food, you know?”
• Are there any notable accomplishments you want to us to be aware of?
  “...If you mean academic accomplishments or awards, I'm...uh, not in possession of any, regrettably. Always someone just a bit better.”
• Tell us something about your quirk that most might not know? Any events or memories, be it joyous or ill, tied to it?
  “With my quirk, growing food is much faster than usual. The roof garden I mentioned is very important to me, since our family's poor. It's kept us going during the especially hard times, and the feeling of giving back to my parents when they've done so much for me is like nothing else in the world. Makes me feel like I'm really making a difference for the better. And when I've had extra, I take it to the shelter I volunteer at. The gratitude of the people there...it's the same way. That feelings like I really can be a hero.”
• Why should we consider you over the other applicants? What can you offer that they cannot?
  "I touched on this in the 'five sentences' section, but I'd say I offer a solid work ethic, a positive and honest attitude, and versatility. My quirk can be used for offense or defense, helping injured civilians or search-and-rescue in dark places. As for me personally, I can step into whatever role I'm needed in. Leader, follower, risk-taker, compassionate friend, whatever; I'll figure out what it's about and give it my all. I want nothing more than to leave this world more full of joy and peace than I found it."
