Did a post, forgot a mention.

@pkken
besides being just able to be offset easily not many draw backs to a powerful quirk, does he have any form of limit to the amount of times he can manipulate the wind before some kind of drawback starts to form?

Also sorry for not speaking of anything until this point, you should probably poke your head into the Discord chat some time, be probably easier to bounce ideas and see things that yourself may of noticed and so on.

@olcharlieboi

Hi there, I know that the RP is technically full. So I'll just be throwing out my character application and hope that a slot opens up in the near future. I'm going with a female character with a slime quirk.

@Kalas can you use something easier to read? I know he's edgy but its a little bit cancerous :<

[Alupi]

Done!

Hider

Name: Shinobu Kouzuki; Shino
Age: Sixteen
Gender: Female

Hero Outfit:

Shinobu's costume consists of a simple dark catsuit, the possesses multiple micropores. This allows the glue that she releases from her body to easily phase through the lining of her clothes. She also wears boots and a belt with an attached pouch around her hips.

Quirk: Glitter Glue

• This quirk allows Shinobu to expel sticky glowing pink fluid from any part of her body that naturally has any type of liquid or has the capability of releasing it (Ex. Sweat Glands).
• The glue she produces is flame retardant, waterproof, has a variant viscosity as well as variant levels of hardening.
• Shinobu isn't exempted from the effects of her glue, though she is able to produce a substance to dissolve it. For others, it works similarly to super glue where it can dry quickly, depending on the amount, and stick to whatever its touching. So trying to get it off while wet is incredibly difficult and trying to get it off while dry is painful. It has a usual consistency similar to syrup.

Backstory:

Shinobu's parents weren't anything special. Her mother was the manager of a local restaurant and her father a high school teacher; he probably taught math or something. Shinobu had no siblings and lived in a no name town in the middle of the Nagano Prefecture. Nothing bad ever happened in the town of Kiso. Even its name is boring and generic. So when Shinobu was young, she decided that she wanted more than the boring provincial life that she had. Jin wanted to go out into the world and live a life like the ones she saw on television and on the internet. The life of the rich and famous; the life of a professional hero.

Most of the people she knew, mainly his parents and neighbors, were very supportive of his dream, cheering her on to be the shining star of Kiso, the one who would put their town on the map. The praise does have a tendency to go to his head an make him a bit egotistical at times.

Supporting Characters:

The citizens of Kiso, but they aren't that significant.

Other:

• Shinobu is fond of all types of animals.
• Water is her beverage of choice; everything else is just unacceptable to her.
• Personality-wise, she's blunt and straight forward. Regardless of how hurtful her words might get, they seldom bear any malice or ill will.

@Eklispe No.

[olcharlieboi]

@Alupi

it is an interesting ability, her not being unaffected is a decent draw back though she is able to get free from it. Besides a limit of some kind not sure what else could say. after @NightmareInd and @Kreutzer gets a look at it then the final verdict will be passed (so probably in the morning/few hours)

[Alupi]

@olcharlieboi Aight. Copy, chief.

I guess I'll just look over all the existing characters sheets in the tab and get a good idea of limits and weaknesses.

[NightmareInd]

@Alupi

It's funny though, I just looked at the Quirk idea and first thing that popped into my mind:

"Wait, Mineta and Ashido got a kid!?"

Seriously though, because her Quirk is so similar to that of them, especially Ashido, I checked her quirk for any drawbacks, and saw she didn't have any. However, since it's a combination of both, maybe something like her mobility going down when she uses it too much (since she kinda glues herself inside out as well) or dehydration could be a thing (although dehydration would be a severe case if it would be on its own).

[Kreutzer]

@Alupi @olcharlieboi @NightmareInd

In a lecture atm but i gave it a look over, i second what nightmare said pretty much

[Alupi]

Oh, okay. Just a bit confused. Is the quirk I chose to go with that imbalanced that it needs a hard restriction? Not sure how quirks are assessed, but looking through the other characters, not all seem to have hard weaknesses or limiters.

I just thought a glue-based quirk that focuses on utility more that offense or firepower would be fun. Didn't expect it to get some sort of hard cap though. I guess my character doesn't make the cut. Or at least her quirk doesn't.

[Lucius Cypher]

@Alupi

More like it's suppose to keep with the theme other characters, canon and OC, have about their quriks having some drawback. Even someone like Mineta who's quirk makes sticky balls (Fairly harmless on their own) have the drawback in that he can't constantly use them. Basically just a limit to how often one can use their quirks and such. Of course there are those without any notable drawback, mostly because their quirks aren't really that powerful. Asahi's quirks are all passive and don't really make him stronger than your average human. Nothing flashy, nothing impressive on his own.

I dunno about her quirk not making the cut, I think it's plenty interesting as it is. GM's just want you to make it a bit more restricting so you aren't say, immobilizing your opponents to the floor where they can't avoid attacks with impunity.

[Alupi]

I get that they want some sort of restriction. What bothers me is that some characters seem to be exempted from this. A few just mention that overuse of their quirks strain them in one way or another, but that's already something common to most quirks.

I was going for a character that excelled in crowd control; I guess that needs to get nerfed. I'll probably just do something else.

[Lucius Cypher]

Muda, I dunno, I like crowd control characters. Being a regular old beat stick type of character can be fun at times, but I do enjoy those who utilize their abilities less for directly defeating their opponents with sheer force, but through tactical use of their skills and powers. Those who rely on CC and have generally non-offensive quirks are the best for that since they got to think smart.

I'm no GM, but I like your character. Personally I don't even know why or what sort of a bigger drawback the GM's would want; the fact that she isn't safe from her own powers seems like a pretty big deal to me. It just shows she can't be reckless with it or else she'll harm herself with it too, even if she can secret a fluid to break down the goop she makes.

[NightmareInd]

@Alupi@Lucius Cypher

My biggest concern is that her Quirk can render most people useless from the start. She's like Mineta not very offensive and more of an immobilising role, but she can use it much more and better than Mineta and with extra properties as well. You have a point she is more of a crowd control, but she should still have a limit somehow. Probably like Momo (from Canon) who creates stuff out of her fat cells, she could have them made out of water, meaning less water means less glue.

[Kreutzer]

@Alupi Sorry, i've been fairly busy until now today

As @Lucius Cypher mentions the problem isn't the scope of the ability it's more the scope of it compared to the drawbacks it faces. An example is that seeing as it's produced instead of her other bodily fluids, it could dehydrate her when she does it. Even something that simple would get a thumbs up from me, because otherwise its a very cool and sweeping ability that doesn't seem to have any direct drawback on your character.

It has potential to be pretty devastating (and personally it'd team up great with my character Tay imo) so don't give up on it, I'd just add something minor and manageable to give it a more quirk-esque feel, if you get what I mean?

One character with a creation quirk in canon uses her fat cells to create things, so it wouldn't be too out there to think hydration directly correlates to it.

@Lucius Cypher I have considered her vulnerability to her own attacks however it is clearly stated she can produce a substance that nullifies it, sort of cancelling it out as being a drawback.

The bottom line is quirks in this rp tend to have either a drawback in terms of a cap on how much you can use it for whatever reason or a cap on how strong it can be. Characters like mine, Marius, have almost like time limits where he gets into a hangover like state and can't focus, and other characters have limits on Range/strength etc.

HOWEVER

@Alupi From as soon as I started checking sheets from what you said you do have a point. I've spoken with @NightmareInd and I'm confident @olcharlieboi won't object to me putting out an announcement that everyone should clearly state their quirk's drawbacks and limits in the quirk section of their character sheets. People who already don't have this done, this is a priority before they start becoming more heavily used in the RP. If your quirk is just quite mundane in the first place, that's still a drawback in itself and must be clearly stated. If you think you have this already then that's ace.

I'm genuinely sorry if it seemed like you were being called out for things others were guilty of, and we hope it doesn't discourage you from the rp. If you like, hop into the RPG discord (link in the first OOC post) and join our #bnha_rp room where we have a live chat :) we discuss our characters and quirks a lot in there, it'd be nice for more friendly faces :D

@Kreutzer

Since I'm one of those people who actually had an on first glance OP character, I just edited my character, stating the less obvious drawbacks of my Quirk as well. Even though I thought they were obvious to myself, it didn't occur to me others might not think of this.

[Kalas]

Something's come up, I won't be replying today. If I do, it'll be super late. Apologies.

Lance Carter

Lance Carter

Lance stands at 6'1 weighting in at 170 lbs.

Age
16

Gender
Male

Personality

Lance is a very boisterous and outgoing guy. Those who showcase a great noble, brave or determined attitudes tend to emotionally move him as well as quickly earning his complete admiration, respect and friendship. On the other hand he will be quick to call out those who coward like or play dirty.

Lance is honest and kind-hearted almost hero like at natural, he is capable of making friends with most people unless they are just complete assholes. He is very dedicated to his friends and will go to great lengths for them, often earning the status of being dependable. Lance is also a confident and hot blooded fighter and nothing gets him more excited then a good fight, he doesn't shy away from a fight. He is well grounded on the ideals of heroics thanks to his father who he looks up to. When something is bothering Lance he distances himself from others and becomes a rather cold and blunt person, it is easy to tell because he wont act like himself. He likes to joke around a lot and has a good sense of humor as well.

Zephyr

Gust Lord

Lance can control the wind and concentrate it to make his attacks more stronger by channeling the wind or by creating a shield made out of wind for defense. He can also create one large gust that he controls and moves around but at this time he rather vulnerable. Lance usually uses the wind for medium to long range combat in the form of channeling. Though a work in progress he can use the gusts to glide in the air but at his current level he doesn't have full control and can be thrown off easily. As easily as he can control the wind is just as easy as he can lose control and damage himself and others if he bites off more than he can chew.

Lances quirk excels in places where wind is flowing easily, freely, and is accessible with little effort. Spaces where there is little wind is a lot harder to manipulate causing a lot of strain on Lances body. If he overexerts his quirk the costs are high and his quirk will be useless until he recovers fully.

His costume is designed mainly for flight with better speed and maneuverability in the air.

Backstory

Easy and light explains Lances early life, he lived a pretty regular life for a kid until he was 4. While at recess in his preschool class his quirk manifested as he began making the other kids float in small gusts of wind, a day pretty much nobody forgets. His father was even more excited since Lance had inherited his quirk, his father at the time was a upcoming hero going by the name Boreas who had a lot of influence on Lances life. Since a young age his family and friends have been boosting saying that his quirk is good enough to turn him into an awesome hero but he didn't buy into it much, he would rather have lived a regular life. His mother and father never really pressured him into doing it saying that it was his choice though his sister thought it would be pretty cool to have 2 heroes in the family.

At age 8 was when his desire to become a hero finally arose, while out with his mother and sister they were attacked by a mentally unstable criminal, Lance attempted to save his Mom and sister but wasn't nearly strong enough to combat the villain. His mother suffered irreversible crippling injuries while his sister was hospital ridden, Lance on the other had suffered a coma. When he awoke in the hospital room his first action was to see if his mother and sister was okay only to find his mother in a wheel chair and his sister covered in bandages and wraps though she was lucky enough to make a full recovery. As tears swelled up into his eyes his desire to protect not just only his family arisen and he grew a strong desire to become a hero, he turned to his dad and gave him a passionate look that his father understood exactly. After he got healthy and cleared their training began. Lance grew in strength and power even greater then his father when he was Lances age.

Now at age 16, having passed the entrance exam with good scores he was able to get into U.A. and undergo the hero course. An impressive feat, he was ready to compete with the best and become a fully fledged hero.

Supporting Characters

Roy Carter (Father)
Mira Carter (Mother)
Layla Carter (Sister)

Other: Anything else you wish to add.

Hopefully this weakness is enough, sorry it took so long. Had work and also moving furniture.
