[OOC] Kosei Academy

[Pudding]

Hmmm, I'm going to fiddle with a CS since it looks like I can still apply.

Edit: I may have overlooked it, but do we live at the academy?

★Gahana Shoujyo★

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.

Talents
Photography on a phone.

[Animal]

Are we all going to be in the same class or separated into smaller groups?

[sharksama]

@Pudding
Gahana's so cute omg

[Pudding]

@sharksama
Lel, you've fallen into her trap

[Dannyrulx]

@Pudding Just so you know, Tori is calling her Sugar rush, welcome to the group. We do live on campus, yes, as many of us are foreign. Separate dorms for males/females, more to come in the IC post.
@Animal One large school/homeroom group. There's only about 10-13 of us, which is a pretty small class even in private schools.

Update Status: Basically done. I'm still willing to edit if there are problems, but I've completed all the areas of the CS to the best of my ability.

Kyong Kyu Jin

Age: 13
Gender: Male

Personality:
Kyu Jin is quiet and sullen, preferring to keep to himself. He rarely smiles and almost never laughs, and seems to have no sense of humor. Though he keeps this a secret, this is because he's cripplingly anxious and very sensitive. He mostly tries to stay out of everyone's way, but he actually hates being alone and wishes he were able to make friends.
Because of hiding his feelings so much, he's kind of lost his sense of honesty and will often lie just out of convenience.
When talking to people, he tries his best to be at least minimally courteous, though he often comes of as stiff and cold. He's very easily flustered and often has to leave conversations after only a short while so no one catches on that he's shy.
He spends most of his time studying and reading, occasionally practicing his hobbies like drawing and piano.

Background:
Kyu Jin is the son of a policeman and a librarian from Gwangju, South Korea. He was born relatively healthy, but had very pronounced albinism, giving him white hair and deathly pale skin, a stark contrast to the black hair and lightly tanned skin that his parents carried. His parents were reasonably middle class and able to provide him, his older brother Min Ja and his little sister Sang Hee. Kyu Jin and Min Ja got along very well, but Sang Hee was a sickly girl from birth and spent most of her brief life in the hospital, so she and Kyu Jin never formed much of a relationship. When Kyu Jin was around 5 years old, he started developing a strange ability to take on a form similar to steam. He hid this from his parents, afraid they would abandon him for being a freak. However, he practiced his 'quirk' in secret, eventually grasping the ability to change the temperature of his vapor form and use the ability for longer periods of time. Actually, his overuse of the quirk may have damaged his lung capacity somewhat, as he found himself growing short of breath much faster when under physical duress. His parents, who already had a sick daughter to take care of, assumed that all their children must be physically weak to an extent and didn't pay this much mind.

When Sang Hee developed pelvic cancer at the age of 6, the Kyongs were forced to move all the way to Tokyo, Japan to access better medical care. Kyu Jin, who was 8 years old at the time, quickly picked up Japanese and attended school in Japan. It was noted by his teachers, even at this young age, that he had trouble communicating with peers and seemed hypersensitive and anxious. As a child, this was very evident and a crippling deficit that caused him to get picked on terribly by other children. But as he grew older, by the age of about 10, he'd learned to mask it under a sheath of sullen curtness.

Sang Hee died shortly after she herself turned 10. Kyu Jin never really got to know her over the 10 mutual years they'd shared, and really only felt numb to the event. His parents, terribly grieved by the loss of their young daughter, made plans to move back to Gwangju with their two sons. However, early the next year, Kyu Jin's quirk was discovered by his school teachers after he got into a physical altercation with another student and instinctively took his Steam form to protect himself. Though his parents reacted very reasonably to this discovery, their son was forced to stay in Japan and attend Kosei Academy while his family moved back to Korea.

Quirk:
Steam: Activates at will, or involuntarily when enraged. Transforms Kyu Jin into a vapor-like form. He can activate this in less than half a second, meaning that he can use it as a defense mechanism against attacks.
He can change the temperature of this form at will, ranging from a chilling 0 degrees Fahrenheit to a burning 250 degrees. Usually, he averages around 70 degrees, or room temperature.
He floats about a foot off the ground and can rise as high as 50 feet.
He can easily pass through solid objects in this form, but because of this he can not pick up or manipulate objects.
He can only use it for a maximum of three hours because he's not taking in much oxygen when using the quirk and will eventually grow lightheaded or even pass out. It's also a drain on his energy, so he can't use it effectively when too tired or sick.

Talents:
-Kyu Jin is very good at drawing, is learning to play piano and can sing (though he prefers not to, as he thinks it draws too much attention to himself)
-He played tennis in middle school and was quite good at it.
-He speaks fluent Korean, Japanese and Cantonese. His first language is Korean.
-He's a brilliant liar.

Background: Working on it. Tomorrow's Saturday so I'll have plenty of time to work on it, and it should be done before tomorrow afternoon. In the meantime, feel free to shoot me suggestions!

Quirk:
Steam: Activates at will, or involuntarily when enraged. Transforms Kyu Jin into a vapor-like form.
In this form he is extremely hot to the touch, about 190-250 degrees Fahrenheit (hot enough to cause burns). He cannot be breathed, and if he passes through a living being while in this form he can and likely will cause high spikes in body temperature or even internal burns if he lingers long enough.
He floats about a foot off the ground and can rise as high as 50 feet.
He can easily pass through solid objects in this form, but because of this he can not pick up or manipulate objects.
He can't move very fast when using Steam, only about walking speed.
He can only use it for a maximum of three hours because he's not taking in much oxygen when using the quirk and will eventually grow lightheaded or even pass out.

Talents:
-Kyu Jin is very good at drawing, is learning to play piano and can sing (though he prefers not to, as he thinks it draws too much attention to himself)

@Oliver

Not sure how practical the quirk is going to be, but it's certainly going to be an interesting ride for him!

@Dannyrulx

Any ideas on how to make it more practical?

[Dannyrulx]

<Snipped quote by Dannyrulx>

Any ideas on how to make it more practical?

@Oliver

As a matter of fact, yes:
1: Allow him to control the temperature of the cloud.
2: Allow him to move slightly faster.
3: If he has enough energy, have him have an in-built defence mechanism where he'll instantly steam up should he be attacked with lethal intent.

I assume this has a high energy drain on him, otherwise please add that.

@Dannyrulx

Sounds like a plan. It's been edited to accommodate the 3 points.
I didn't plan on it being an energy drain per se. Kind of more like being in an airlocked room. As in, he'd be fine for a few hours, but eventually the lack of fresh air would make him dizzy. But if you'd rather have that be the main downside to the quirk, that's fine.

EDIT: @DannyRulx, My Bio is basically done. Want to read over my CS and see if it's ready to be accepted or not?

@Oliver

I think the main issue with practically every non-mutant perk is that it actively requires the user to do something, which takes energy and focus. Mutants have focus down pat naturally, but the energy cost is always built in, so there's that I suppose.

@Dannyrulx

Fair enough. I'll add it.
In the meantime, I've gone through the other sections and finished my Bio.

[Dannyrulx]

Just a little something to whet the appetite: Welcome to the dorms. If you're at all confused about the modifications done to your bunk and/or why said modifications were done, just ask me, it's fine. Note that the dorms will not be full: Kosei Academy is known to take in students throughout the year, and as such a number of bunks per dorm are left empty.
