• Keep the tone. I'm not trying to dictate how your characters are, but I would like a middle-ground. Nothing too serious and nothing too goofy. Of course a character who leans more one way than the other is fine!
• First come, first serve. With 50 rankings, and Rank 50 - 41 being the focal point, whoever claims a number gets it. Just be sure to double-check the thread before you post your character.
• Higher ranks can be taken! Obviously, the premise revolves around the Bottom 10 students, but you can make a character that's in a higher ranking if you'd prefer. That said...
• You're allowed two characters! However, if you do want two characters, they have to be separated, ie you can only have one in the Bottom Ten and one that isn't.
• Embrace weirdness. This is more of a personal suggestion, but I would like to see characters that are creative or, well, weird. MHA is full of weird-looking people and bizarre Quirks, so don't be afraid to be a bit off-kilter with things!

You can structure this however you like and even reword it, but the general information that should be included is...

Name: Hajoong Sunwoo, a.k.a. "Sunha"
Hero Name: High Rise
Age: 14
Nationality: Korean
Rank: 50
Appearance:
Costume:
Personality:
Sunha is a rather talkative fellow, his weight hardly doing anything to keep his mouth shut. Whether talking to himself or to someone else, he always expresses his easy going atmosphere. No obstacle is too tough to give up at, no situation is too depressing to succumb to. He seems almost ignorant to the social ladder that apparently exists, preferring a more cooperating, less competing atmosphere.
In general, Sunha is easy to get along with but hard to get to know. He may be a jolly fellow, but that doesn't stop him from being a bit secretive about his life story. He's seen listening to more life stories than saying them. When asked to tell one, he usually tries to change the subject, or divert the question to someone else. But when he does, Sunha usually tells boring, everyday life but in an overly exaggerated fashion.
Sunha has a thought that haunts him, to go big. Growing up seeing his parents and his relatives who were among the intelligent people, quite enough to be considered elites, the thought took up a part of Sunha's thoughts. Not to mention his parents telling him about it. He fears he would fail and become a normal person, so he pushes on with a sense of light hearted carelessness.

Quirk: Weight Manipulation
Type: Emitter
Effect: User can relatively decrease/increase the weight of a target(can be either living or non living thing). The opposite effect with the same relativity. Using this power gradually wears the user out, which means its performance will suffer if the user attempts to use it while exhausted. To affect something, the user must be either touching it or seeing it.
The maximum ratio currently is 25% heavier/lighter, with the maximum duration of 1 minute.
ex)The user can make a box 20% lighter, which makes himself 20% heavier.

History:
His parents were not famous heroes, but they were surely smart. They graduated one of the top universities of his homeland, and used their intelligence to earn themselves a reasonable amount of money(all legal of course).
For Sunha's case, his parents wanted him to be a doctor. If he studied real hard he'd make it to the same university and get to live a comfortable life. But the boy didn't find that much brain juice inside him, and decided to challenge something he could invest himself on.
Being a superhero caught the boy's mind quickly. Every kid wanted to be one in their early childhood, and he was no exception. The boy had to persuade his parents for it, and faced the expected conflict. The job of a professional hero was too dangerous, too much of a work compared to a doctor. His parents no doubt did not agree. But Sunha didn't give up. If he had to do something big he wanted to do it his way.
Finally he got his parents persuaded, under one condition- they won't help him. At all. He was on his own. The boy did what he could with his mind and body, preparing for the school as much as possible. The boy applied to New Heights Academy in hope to pursue his newly established dream.

Exam Report:
Points: 2
0 robots were beaten. 1 ribbon was collected.
Thanks to his cursed endurance, Sunha was barely able to run throughout the exam, let alone walk. Compared to many who were physically well trained, the boy had a disadvantage of mobility, and hardly had the strength left in him to smash a robot later on.

Age: 15
Nationality: Japan
Rank: 42

Costume: Her costume is rather simple at the moment, favouring practicality and function over fashion; a white sports bra and short, similar to the ring attire of a boxer, plain and without ornamentation. She plans on updating this once she decides on a hero name and colour scheme, but the core design likely won’t change; at the moment her only concession towards looking like a hero is a hard white mask in the shape of a kitsune’s face.

Personality: The first impression most people have of Akeno is one of composure and quiet focus, though this of course depends on the context of their first meeting. Above all else she is a hard-working individual who is dedicated to her dream, someone who pushed themselves to excel; as a result she can come across as a little intense at time, but she is also friendly and sociable to those she interacts with.

Akeno has a drive to succeed which means that she always pushes herself to do more, to do better. She expects a lot from herself, sometimes more than she can actually give, and at the same time always sees herself as not achieving as much as she should. She’s harsh on herself, always beating herself up for mistakes and trying to nit-pick or undersell her victories; losses are hard for her but she’s used to them, and while wins are nice they are no reason to stop progressing.

It’s fair to say that Akeno undervalues herself and that she has a self-deprecating view of her capabilities; this leads her to have a competitive streak, insomuch as she doesn’t like to lose and she constantly compares her achievements to those of others. She doesn’t like being outdone by someone, but she never takes it out on the person in question, instead she will only tell herself to set that person’s achievement as her new goal and pursue it.

Although she can be tough on herself, she is generally supportive of others and won’t allow them to be tough on themselves. Instead she pushes others to believe in themselves and to keep moving forward. That being said she is not one to coddle people; it is important, in her opinion, to maintain a firm knowledge of one’s own strengths and limitations so that one can best know how to improve themselves. Harsh truths mixed with genuine compliments are her usual response when asked for her opinion on someone and she’s not someone who ever learned to hold back; she’s exactly as truthful as she would want someone to be with her if she was doing something wrong or needed to improve on something, which can be a little bit much for some people.

Akeno is a sociable person, one who enjoys the company of others but who also values time to herself and doesn’t mind being alone. She’s not exactly outgoing but also doesn’t shy away from social situations, she doesn’t seek the limelight nor is she particularly bothered by it. She maintains a calm, relaxed façade most of the time, her reactions subdued which can make it hard to tell how strongly she feels something even if her exact emotion is easy to decipher; in other words she smiles when she is happy but not broadly, she frowns whether she is annoyed or furious and is only a little quieter than normal when upset.

Quirk: Hothead
Type: Emitter
Effect: Akeno is able to raise her internal temperature, thereby increasing the heat produced by her body, and in doing so make it so that her skin grows hotter and hotter to the point that making contact with her is painful. Currently this Quirk can increase her temperature to the point that touching her feels like placing your hand on a cast iron radiator that has been on for too long, or sticking your hand under a hot tap; scalding and liable to give a minor burn after several seconds on continuous contact.

The downside of this Quirk is that it can cause her to overheat herself, leaving Akeno feeling lightheaded and even causing her to pass out if she uses it for too long. Additionally, as of right now she is unable to control her Quirk too well, unable to regulate her temperature or limit its usage to a specific part of her body, so it's all or nothing for the moment. However, a side benefit of this Quirk is that she is resistant to both low and high temperatures; cold weather doesn’t have much impact on her as she can raise her temperature to counter the chill and her skin is resistant to heat up to and slightly exceeding her own output, meaning that she cannot burn herself or be burned by something that is as hot as herself.

History: Akeno is tall. She is very tall. A height of 5’ 11” might not seem that impressive to some people, but when you’re 5’ 8” at the age of 13 and are significantly taller than everyone in your class except your teacher, it kind of becomes part of your identity. Along with her height Akeno has always been somewhat gifted athletically, finding it easy to maintain a slim build and having good control over her body; volleyball, basketball, even soccer all came fairly naturally to her and even though she wasn’t as skilled as someone who trained regularly she could make up for some of that with her natural talent and physique.

As a child Akeno was always very active, always playing sports with the boys rather than hanging out with other girls and always trying to keep up with her older brother. She loved swimming especially and the family would often visit the swimming pool in the local gym so she and her brother could swim. When she was 8 her father signed her up for karate lessons after she watched a few too many martial arts movies and expressed an interest, which in Akeno’s case means she wouldn’t stop talking about it until they agreed to let her try it.

It was about a year after this that Akeno first expressed an interest in becoming a hero; although she can’t remember exactly what it was that sparked this interest, perhaps something she had seen on TV or read about, it soon consumed her life. Her karate lessons now became her hero training, she spent hours coming up with costume ideas or hero names and she was always pestering her brother to play heroes and villains with her. While most children went through a phase like this, with Akeno it stuck and as she grew up she began to take it more seriously. She asked to switch dojos to one with a more serious instructor, pushed for more training and looked into hero schools and development programs. The one thing she didn’t do was practice her Quirk, for some reason.

It was still too early for her to attend one of the hero academies however, so alongside her time spend training and dreaming of being a hero she continued to attend a regular school. Once she started attending middle school and she hit her growth spurt it wasn’t long before most of the sports clubs in her school were scouting her out for membership. It was fun for her to be so popular at first and she went along with it, trying out the various club activities while not committing to any one in particular; at this point she was still taking her karate lessons and likely wouldn’t have any extra time for a club anyway, but she still went along with it because it was fun and she might have found one that caught her interest.

Eventually did find one to her liking when she found the school’s wrestling team. By this point she’d been taking karate for years and although she enjoyed it immensely, she wasn’t sure how long she wanted to pursue it once she became a hero. Wrestling was a change of pace, a new way to test herself and a whole new set of challenges to overcome; besides, with the way her Quirk worked grappling was probably a more useful fighting style than just karate on its own anyway, though that wasn’t her first, second or even third thought when she made the decision to join. She was a member of the team for the last two years of middle school before graduating, while she continued to attend karate lessons on the side when possible.

Once Akeno graduated from middle school she was able to begin submitted applications to various hero academies, though due to where she lived and the lack of dormitories at most schools her only real option in Japan was U.A. She was apprehensive about applying to one of the four biggest academies in Japan, but with few options available she did so regardless. However, just as she had feared, she was unable to pass the entrance exam; her Quirk was useless against the robotic combatants and her physical abilities weren’t enough either and she ended the exam with 0 points for combat and only a few for heroic acts.

With her chances of attending the most prestigious hero academy in Japan vanquished, Akeno wasn’t sure what she was going to do until the acceptance letter from New Heights arrived. She had submitted her application on a whim, with little hope of being accepted, but the fact that the school didn’t have a typical entrance exam and the rumours that admittance was random meant she had little reason not to at least try.

It seemed her gamble had paid off. Even if she couldn’t attend U.A., new Heights was almost as good.

Exam Report: The exam at New Heights didn’t go much different to the one at U.A. for Akeno; her Quirk was still too weak to do anything to the robots and she was still unable to score a single point for taking one down in combat. However, this time the added element of the ribbons gave her another chance to score points, but even then she wasn’t able to collect many; time and time again she found herself falling behind those with Quirks that let them move around, always too slow to reach a ribbon, always a step behind. She managed to collect a few, so as not to finish last, but still found herself in the bottom ten students.

Name: Kian Everett Shawn

Hero name: N/A

Age: 14

Nationality: Canadian

Rank: 47

Appearance: Kian is currently 155 centimetres tall and eagerly awaits his next growth spurt. He's slim and pale, despite daily jogs outside. His ears are triangle shaped and protruding, giving space for his horns to rest right behind them. His eyes and horns are of similar colours; dark to light blue. Kye has naturally messy, ash blonde hair. The boy is also fairly delicate, possessing slightly feminine features. Kian often slouches and hides behind his bangs, nervousness apparent.
Costume: Simple protective clothing, featuring light blue, dark blue, black, and white. It's made from quality material, light, and highly resistant to damage. There is an additional layer of protective padding surrounding his neck and shoulders which relieves muscle strain and prevents his neck from getting broken.

Personality: Cautious but easily influenced. Witty but non-confrontational. Practical, though can be too (self-)critical. Shy, but enjoys company. A thinker and a planner, whose lacklustre physical capabilities often impede his success. Dislikes attention, but craves recognition. Prone to daydreaming or falling to anxiousness, yet determined to try and not waste his own time. Wary of pain, but resigned to effort. A bit of a people pleaser who craves understanding and deep, genuine friendship on the one hand and admires fierce independence as a golden standard on the other.

Quirk: Threaded Horns
Type: Mutant
Effect: Kian has a pair of segmented keratin horns attached to his head, which he can partially detach from his head, extend them up to a meter and freely manipulate them via a thin (7mm) interwoven fibrous core. These horns basically work like two additional whip-like limbs, which he has full control over. The base of his horns always remains attached to his head, as this is the part which stores a coil of fibre and enables the extension and retraction (or "reeling-in") of the rest of his horn. The detachable part of each horn is composed of seven segments, and these segments can be arranged in several ways: they can all be clustered together together at the end of the fibrous core (like a hooked rope or a fishing line), they can separate from each other while still remaining connected to the string-like core (similar to Bloodborne's threaded cane in its whip form, though obviously less effective), or some of the bottom segments can remain attached to the base while the rest are extended via the cord. The segmented horn pieces cannot be safely removed from the fibrous core; they're stuck to it, and tearing them off hurts.

The largest weakness of the horns is that using them (extending or retracting them, swinging them around etc.) strains the user just as much if not more than using regular limbs for strenuous activities would. They can be used to carry and manipulate small objects, but even with both horns and their respective cores together, trying to affect anything above 10 kilograms would begin to put a strain on Kian (especially his neck is vulnerable). The threaded core of the horns is fairly tough, but sensitive - he can feel touch (incl. proprioception), temperature, and pain through them, which while good for controlling, also means that straining at best results in a physical ache. At worst, the fibrous core gets torn, either because Kian was too reckless in their use, or because an enemy applied enough force to do so. Severing the core or ripping off the extendable part of his horns is enough to knock him unconscious due to the pain it causes him. Both the fibrous core and the keratin exterior of the horn can regenerate within a few hours; faster if Kian consumes plenty of food. In general, he needs to eat at least seven generous meals per day to keep his horns healthy.

History: Kian's parents both had quirks that while very useful in day-to-day life, couldn't be claimed to be hero-material. Even as a young child, Kye had a quiet watchful nature. He compared himself to his parents, because he'd been born with a pair of small horns, which seemed very unlike his father's lizard-like tail or his mother's extendable hair. At four, his horns grew a bit, and in his excitement, Kian stuck them into the wall. When he stepped back, the top of his horn was stuck in the wall, attached to the base by a strange twisty string. Pulling on the string with his hand was very uncomfortable. When he thought fiercely about getting his horns out of the wall, there was a soft whirring within the base of his horns, and the string part brought the stuck horn segments with it, knocking Kian on his bottom when they finally reattached. Like all other kids, he enjoyed playing around with his Quirk. Unfortunately, children are careless creatures, and his playmates often pulled on his horns. Once, some mean bully cut the corded core when Kye's horns were extended, and he passed out. That was when Kian decided he would be very careful how and when he used his Quirk.

Since then, he usually practiced on his own, and did his very best to deflect peer pressure and queries whether he wanted to be a hero - which pretty much everyone did, regardless of their Quirk. Kian secretly admired those confident, boisterous children, but couldn't bring himself to emulate them. Instead, he explored the extents and limits of his Quirk on his lonesome. His progress was somewhat hindered by the growth of his horns; each new segment meant he had to adjust to their weight. The period where his head involuntarily tilted forward because of them was very embarrassing, but Kye eventually overcame it. Extending his horns via their fibrous cores was a daily practice, and he did so often with his eyes closed to attune to the faint sensations the touch-sensitive cord provided. He was too afraid of being mocked or of having too great expectations placed on him to announce to want to be a Hero, and he almost didn't sign up for any of the hero-training academies, but then...Then All-Might stirred his faint hope just enough that Kian thought he might as well give this hero business a try too. His parents were worried at his newly expressed interest, but ultimately supported his decision. He managed to get into New Heights Academy, but that was only the beginning...

Exam Report: This individual showed a capability for strategical searching of an unknown environment, however, his average speed set him at a disadvantage in collecting ribbons; he managed to catch only the one. When encountered by a robotic combatant by his lonesome, the student showed some inspired thinking, tripping the robot and impaling it. However, the strain of doing so seemed too much for him; he was knocked out for the remainder of the competition.

Character Quote:


Name: Sakimoto, Hiroki

Age: 13

Height: 5' 3"

Weight: 149 lbs

Build:Lean and built, like a track or basketball athlete

Rank: 45

Quirk: Turbine

Quirk Details: 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.

Description: 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 acts of heroism, and he gets bitter if he's not recognized for his feats. The superiority complex makes him come across as a jerk, a loner, and generally unpleasant.

He's currently in a transition. He recently screwed up. He screwed up so bad that he got others hurt. He realized he can't do this alone, not until he's strong enough to. Despite his propensity to show off and leap before he looks, he's trying to actively take a step back. Become more considerate, tactful. Its a slow going process.

Miscellaneous: Praising his abilities is a great way to get on his good side. His lackeys until now has been more or less his best friends. The opposite is true. Calling him out earns his ire and he constantly believe people are trying to show him up, whether it was their intention or not. He lives in a world of followers and rivals. He needs time to see that sometimes people can just be friends. Music, particularly fast beats and heavy bass get his blood pumping, as is racing. Track is one of his pass times.
