@Warpcircuit Oh! Apologies, must've read the ability wrong then.

[Ebil Bunny]

I guess it's my turn to list some quirky character concepts ^^

Blink
Type: Mutant
Whenever the user blinks, they can choose to instantaneously change their current posture and their current position to somewhere else within three feet. Doing so swaps whatever matter was there previously with where the quirk-user was previously. They can't change their position into solid matter unless it has a very small amount of mass such as dust in the air or sediment in water. Blinking exerts an amount of effort equal to crunching two twenty-pound weights, but gives off a great amount of body heat.

Smoke Screen
Type: Emitter
The user has gill-like slits connected to their lungs on both sides of their torso, underneath their arms. Through these slits, the quirk-user can breath out a harmless opaque gas (I've yet to decide on a color, I'm thinking a fluffy pink might be fun) that blocks sight and muffles sound and scent to a degree that anyone within the fog, other than the quirk-user themselves, cannot see, hear, or smell anything further than two feet around them. The fog dissipates after half an hour, but the user can quicken the process by breathing the gas back in through the slits under their arms.

Kinetic Current
Type: Mutant
This quirk only applies to the user's limbs, from their elbow to the tips of their fingers and from their knees to the ends of their toes. Whenever there is a physical impact on any of these areas of the user's body, the user can conduct the kinetic energy through their body, like electricity through wires, to one of the other limbs and discharge it. This causes the force of the impact to be directed into whatever the quirk-user discharged it into, instead of the user's body. They can only discharge the kinetic energy directly into solid matter, and cannot discharge it at all if the limb the user conducted it to isn't in contact with any solid matter. The user cannot discharge energy from the same limb that received the impact, and they must discharge the energy within a very short time period after taking the hit.

Gonna be honest, I wanted to go into even more detail on these abilities (mainly Smoke Screen) because I love the sciences of magic systems, but I thought it'd be better just to post them and see what you guys think xD

<Snipped quote by Lord Sawsaw2>

I will accpet this character but I will give you a few heads up~

This is a very strong quirk but I'll allow it since you are basically playing two characters so I highly advised when you do post you also write for Haniel as well, make her character and not just a tool for combat~ This is a bit of extra work for you but I hope you are fine with this~

Now onto the grading portion!

*Snipped Grading*

@Aquaknight

That was the idea with Haniel, most if not all of my posts will either feature her interjecting her thoughts consistently throughout, or simply have a segment from her own perspective, depending on the situation. I'll probably expand a bit more on her personality and history on my CS before we formally start.

And good to see that the changes met your standards, I'm quite enamored of Samael already, so I look forward to playing him. Did you want the grading included in the post in the characters tab as a separate hider? If so, do you mind if I reformat it a bit?

[Riddle Me This]

_{"As my mother would say: Friendship is the spice of life."}

Name: Kenta Masuda

Age: 16

Appearance: Kenta’s frame is a fairly average one, short and slightly stocky with some toned elements along with a sharp jawline and rounded facial features. He typical has a relaxed posture and body language and a cheerful expression on his face What’s most notable about his look and the part that most often stands out to people seeing him for the first time are the two black slim horns poking out of the top of his head and the pointed tail behind him. His hair is long, messy, bright red and normally covers at least one of his eyes, the pupil of his eye is also red while the surrounding iris is black in colour.

Personality: Kenta’s personality is that of a reasonably stable coaster, he enjoys to take the path of least resistance in life while moving from a self-set goal to the next and doing what he can keep himself entertained. He prides himself on avoiding stress and being able to avoid sparks of anger and tension that might come with it and does what he can to teach others about why it’s important to do the same, he hates seeing others aggravated and annoyed, especially if they’re his friends.

Friends are a big part of Kenta’s life, he spends most of his time in the company of at least one or digitally messaging one of them if he’s on his own. Though he can amuse himself with his own thoughts and ideas if he needs to, so long as there is something to hold his attention such as watching clouds go by and listening to the wind while pondering what he might want to do in the next few days.

Kenta is not the shiniest tool in the shed, he does not possess outstanding academic or athletic qualities but he does excel in terms of his planning and adaptability, coming up with creative solutions to solve problems either far in advance or very close to the deadline depending on how long he had allowed himself to be distracted. He is also good at assessing and helping others, working out which of their skills exceed his own and which areas he can best help in. For the most part his grades are average but in group projects he will often put a lot of effort into encourage others and help them out to achieve the best they can, often learning a lot himself in such instances.
He knows that he takes the easy approach to life and is happy with the minimum requirements but won’t allow others to be hampered by his attitude and step up to ensure he does not let down or fail anyone who relies on him.

History:
Kenta’s upbringing was largely uneventful but he was always taught proper manners and to be respectful. His family now runs a bakery tucked away in an older part of Tokyo city where he was born and raised. His mother had always been in the baking business, aided by her transformative quirk ‘Cooking companion’ which allowed her to bring forth a small doll-like companion with an exquisite set of taste buds and culinary prowess. His father meanwhile was a licensed hero who had a reasonably short lived career as ‘Diablo: The Devil Hero’ named due to his above average strength, ability to spit fire and mark evil doers with a creepy brand, and over all a demonic appearance, he wasn’t as popular or marketable as other heroes at the time and often got mistaken for a villain at first. But it was when he found out Kenta’s mother was pregnant that he decided he would focus on raising the boy and spending time with his family rather than risking his life for strangers.

As a boy, Kenta’s enthusiasm was split between being enamoured by heroes and learning to bake alongside his parents in their bakery together. At school, despite at first having a few issues with his abnormal appearance, he managed to find a cohort of good friends that kept him company and helped him to find more ways to enjoy his free time. He discovered his quirk later than most, believing for a while he was quirkless and resigning himself to an ordinary life as a baker. It was only when he learned to snap his fingers that he surprised both himself and everyone in the room with the sudden appearance of an admittedly creepy mask floating before him and speaking in an odd echoing voice, at first Kenta simply believed he was seeing things or had found favour with a ghost but soon enough it became clear from the creature’s elaboration that mask was indeed his quirk.

With a renewed enthusiasm having discovered his quirk, Kenta proudly proclaimed to his parents that he wished to become a hero, and while his parents were hesitant at first due to the danger such a job would pose but they soon came around when the young man brought up his father’s time performing acts of heroism. Diablo even began to teach him a few tricks and tips, assuring his wife “If I start training him now there’s no way he’ll get hurt by the time he gets through U.A.”

Quirk Name: Creepy Mask

Quirk Type: Transformation

Quirk Basics: With a snap of his fingers, Kenta can summon a sentient creature resembling a ghost-like mask which can in turn conjure up a pair of gloves to help him out in a given situation, if Kenta physically touches and ‘marks’ a person or object then these hands are also able to interact with an manipulate what is marked as well. He can also put on the gloves and mask to gain full control of the abilities himself.

Quirk Strengths:
• Mask friend – Kenta can summon the mask and hands by snapping his fingers, these hands possess some enhanced strength between them and have the ability to float but cannot interact with anything aside from Kenta’s body unless he has marked an object. The hands are controlled by the mask who takes direction from Kenta but is more than capable of acting alone as well. The mask and objects are able to phase through walls like a ghost but cannot take objects through with them.

• Cursed touch – Once he touches a person or an object with his own hands and intentionally marked it a small insignia will appear, after this the object is able to be interacted with by the hands.

• Mask barrier – The mask is able to create a barrier of solid air in front of itself, if the hands are present the barrier becomes stronger.

• Dream invasion – If he makes contact with a sleeping or unconscious target he and his companion are able to invade their dreams and converse with them, if the individual is unaware of the fact they’re dreaming then has control of the dreamscape.

Quirk Weaknesses:
• If the mask is damaged badly or broken it will disappear and not be able to return until it has restored itself, the same goes for the gloves. This will not only prevent the barrier ability but if the mask is destroyed first it will effectively kill the hands which will become directionless and limp. If they are still being worn though they will continue to enhance the user’s strength.

• A marked individual can target and damage both the hands and mask, while they are resilient, sharp objects work well against the gloved hands while brute force attacks will break the mask quite easily as if it was wood if they land.

• While in the dreamscape, Kenta’s physical body is incapacitated as if he too was asleep and he has no real way of knowing what’s going on outside, also if the occupant becomes aware they are dreaming it becomes much harder for Kenta to keep control of things.

• The creature is a proud and prideful one. If Kenta is not wearing the mask and directly controlling his quirk then taunts and tricks may distract the creature and lead it to divert from whatever Kenta has planned.

Quirk Techniques:
• Lift - The hands can grab Kenta by the shoulders and hoist him into the air, carrying him around at a decent speed. They can also throw him in a given direction.

• Multi-hand combo - Working in tandem with his companions, Kenta delivers a relentless barrage of fast and well-coordinated strikes to avoid giving an opponent any rest and time to recover between hits.

• Trap - The hands position themselves underground and when the time is right spring out and root a marked person to the ground by gripping onto their legs while Kenta moves in to deliver a kick.

• Equip - If Kenta puts on the gloves and/or masks he is able to control them and their power is added to his own, for instance, the strength of the gloves is added to his own, he is able to leap further and he can conjure up the mask barrier.

[Holy Grail]

Yuri (no, not that kind)

_{"Quote by your character"}

Name: Yuri Kaika

Age: 15

Appearance: A girl with a maturing, curvy frame, she stands at the height of 5'7" and possesses a pair of grey eyes as well. She possesses a larger-end-of-the-spectrum C-cup bust, as well as has short black hair that has a silky feeling and average sheen to it. Usually carrying some form of relaxed, positive expression, she is someone who seems to put others at ease with her smile, a thing that helped her at home to an extent. Even so, she possesses certain "physical traits" inherent to her mutation quirk's nature (which will be described in her quirk section). Despite her odd aspects that are part of her quirk garnering her looks from others at times, she for the rest of the way looks like a normal teenage girl.

Personality: Usually a positive person or friendly in general, she is a generally intelligent girl who tends to seem calm with a relaxed sort of mindset about her. Generally trying to be friendly to others, she seem rather average but well adjusted socially, though like anyone else has her slip-ups and faults at times. She does the best she can under pressure, due to having some experience with being under pressure in life in general, she is able to keep her head to a certain extent beyond the average or expected norm among teens. However, just like any other teenager, she can end up being emotional, frustrated, among other things that teens tend to experience and feel during this time in their lives. She also loathes those who seem "disingenuous" about being a hero, as she herself feels that being a hero truly means "laying it all the line until one's last breath, to help and save others". Indeed, those who trample upon the idea of a hero, or who hold themselves above others simply due to what quirk they have or what family they come from or similar things, tend to get under her skin on a personal level.

She can be adaptable due to he nature of her quirk forcing her to be, even biting her tongue at times to work with those she dislikes if she has to, but even this has its limits like with any other human being. However, her instinct to throw herself into a fray or situation to help someone, that unconscious impulse that runs in her veins, can easily put herself in danger...and perhaps others in danger depending on the situation. She feels this is one trait important to a hero, even if some others might disagree, and this is perhaps one area where she could most easily conflict with others under the right conditions.

History: Yuri was born the fifth out of the six children her parents ended up having. With her mother being the retired pro-hero "Human Factory", her quirk being able to create various substances within her body that are expelled from her mouth as a liquid or from her pores in a gas form, and her father being the pro-hero "Fracture", who can extend skeletal "extra" limbs from parts of his body for various uses, she and her siblings were held to a high standard to one day become heroes. Several of her older siblings are in school or already graduated from UA or other schools, the oldest already working alongside a pro hero himself, and the pressure their parents put on them to find their quirks and practice with them to make the family look well was at time unnatural on the lot of them.

Though after seeing her older siblings' coping methods, she pushed herself to better cope with it, finding a trick or so to keep her head on straight (even if not perfectly) as compared to some. However, with many of her older siblings wanting to be heroes for the glory and money, and their parents seeming to never dissuade them from this, Yuri began to resent that sort of thinking. Someone like the rising star of the pro-hero world, All-Might, who not too long ago became a symbol of peace, was what she wanted to be like. Helping people genuinely because she wanted to. Even with her...odd quirk of sorts, she was determined to become a "real" hero who would help people because she sincerely wanted to. The money and fame be damned, she would prove her siblings wrong that she was "a quirk short of being an actual hero", or her parents' comments to her once that "without a combat quirk, you have no real place on the pro scene, so just settle for being a support or something".

And indeed, perhaps unbeknownst to her, this drive to prove herself to others in part help push her to want to reach her goal. Now having put in an application to UA, the most famous hero school in Japan, she feels like this is her chance. Her chance to show that she can become a real hero, a person who will help others, and maybe show others that the glory and fame isn't the main thing they need to focus on. To show herself that...she can do this, no matter what others say, no matter what her family says, no matter what dissonant thoughts in her mind might arise like with anyone else to try to discourage her from it.

Likes:
-Chocolates (especially dark chocolates)

-Cooking (having often had to do that for herself and younger siblings at home)

-Hard Work and Effort

-Selfless Acts

-Swimming (one hobby of hers when she has the time)

Dislikes: (5 - 10)
-Cocky behavior

-Cruel acts done to others

-Seagulls (for pooping on her once when she was little)

-Extreme Cold

-Uncoordinated and rash behaviors (even the ones she is actually prone to)

Personal Strengths:
-Can better keep a cool head at times than others might be able to

-Is able to bite her tongue around those she dislikes but is working with, to an extent

-Hard Working

Personal Weaknesses: (At least 3, more the better but must be equal to or greater then the number of strengths)
-Selfless impulsive behaviors, when it actually arises, could get her and others in danger

-Not very physically strong (aka: brute force fight is bad without the assistance of her quirk's abilities or other allies)

-Finds it hard to let go of a grudge, which even if she could bite her tongue about it around those she dislikes or hates might potentially hinder her in the field to some extent or another

Quirk Name: Dr. Injection

Quirk Type: Mutation

Quirk Basics: The user manifests in both each of their forearms, and also on both sides of their spine running parallel to their spine, a set of metal syringes with a clear-colored container for the fluids in them. The syringes are attached to thin, long, inhumanly flexible, but strong metal arms that can be extended to stretch out of the body (and are compactly fitted within the body) to move in front of or behind the user's body with the syringes on the end of each of them.

With four of these "syringe arms" located in each of the user's forearms (with the metal tops of the syringe only being visible on the outward side of the user's forearms when inactive), and 7 located on each side of the user's spine (running down parallel to the spine in their configuration, the metal tops of the syringes being visible in this case as well), the user possesses a total of 22 extendable "syringe arms" as a part of this quirk.

Quirk Strengths:

-These syringes can be "filled" with various special solutions composed within the user's body at will, which once injected into herself or others enact their effects for a limited time frame. These solutions can be injected into others to have various effects, from healing wounds in general and sealing up serious injuries by amplifying the healing rate of the target's body, to a paralytic poison or sleeping agent that can be used to incapacitate enemy targets, the variety of what can be done with this quirk is staggering when time and experience are applied to exploring and discovering its various potential uses.

-The quirk can also be used to draw in samples of other liquids, and within these syringes the user is able to analyze their properties, even including the blood of other people and quirk users.

-The syringes also can be used to draw other individuals' blood in order to: create an antidote to a poison or toxin or other substance in a target's blood/body, to analyze allergies or chemical issues in the bodies of others, or in final to use a 5 minute long "quirk analysis" ability to determine the nature and abilities of another individual's quirk after the 5 minute analysis period.

-To a limited extent, she can use these "syringe arms" as extra limbs, with things such as climbing walls being possible with the limited strength the arms have.

Quirk Weaknesses: (Once again explain every weakness your quirk has, consider each of the 6 quirk stats while making your quirk! Unlimited weaknesses as long as they are equal to or greater then the number of strengths)

-This quirk is not melee combat suited, as even with what little additional strength the "syringe arms" have it is no real match for a close-range quirk along the lines of Kirishima's "hardening" or Bakugo's explosive-sweat that specialize in close quarters combat or melees.

-Those with thick enough armor or exoskeleton, or other such protective things granted by their quirk, can protect themselves from the needles on her syringe arms.

-Their ability to behave like into "normal arms" is limited in effect.

-Overuse of this quirk's solutions can physically affect those they are injected into, albeit this is limited to major or extreme amounts of injections being applied to the same targets. Ranging from slight shaking to stamina drain to other "minor" effects that will wear off once the targets' body returns to normal, this isn't seemingly so bad at first. Yet if the body is pushed too far with an extreme enough amount of injections rapid-fire, and the injected target is not in possession of a quirk or such that mitigates this somehow, symptoms like being rendered unconscious, harm to organs and tissues, and potentially death under the worst circumstances are actually possible.

Quirk Techniques: (1 - 3 powerful and unique technique your character has with their quirk, think Bakugou's Stun Grenade)

-"Injector Boost": Injecting herself or others with multiple syringes of solution that boost some physical or mental attribute for a limited time.

-"Spider's Fangs": Injecting some kind of incapacitating or harmful solution into the target with one or more syringe arms.

-"Melting Fury": By creating a special acid that activates once exposed to the air, she squirts this substance on a target structure she needs to weaken or break through, blockage she needs to break down to progress or move past a certain point, or if forced to do so squirting this on an enemy that she needs to fight against in order to defend herself or others

Here is my OC idea! I hope she is, eh, passable, or is more easily fixed rather than having to be replaced. And of course i put the change i said i would in the quirk in it, as well as noted a little more about it i think to help balance things. Like injecting too much stuff rapid-fire would not be the best thing, though the details of that are in her app of course. :D

@Aquaknight

[jynmi88]

Wow! Really happy to see this got set up so quickly. I'll get a CS up soon, hopefully with Saturday as the latest. Too tired to think of anything substantial at the moment because I work in retail. :(

@AquaknightFor now I've got a couple of concepts rolling around in my head and would love some feeback.

Armor Point-This is a transformation type quirk(I think). One section of the user's body takes on a shiny black appearance, which can be moved around at will. This section vastly increases the user's defense of said area, as well as greatly increases the area's attack power, and density. The biggest weakness is the total area of protection is limited to one part of the body.

Balloon skin-A mutation type quirk that cause's the user to look similar to a pug or British bull dog in that there are A LOT of long folds of skin covering their body. The user' skin is made out of a rubber like material that's both stretchy, bouncy, and is fairly resistant to blunt force. There are even valves in the folds of the skin the connect to pockets.

Phantom Limbs-An emitter type quirk. The user was born without physical limbs but is capable of manifesting constructs of psychic energy, from where said limbs should be. These limbs can be altered in a variety of ways such as changing their size, density hardness, etc, etc. The biggest drawbacks I can think up off the top of my head for this quirk is that using them outside their basic forms rapidly drains the user of energy, and when she runs out then she's completely SOL as she'll be little more than a sitting duck.

[FourthKing]

I hope any partaker's of Thanksgiving have full bellies and had a great time with family. Here's my character!

Kyoji Sonoda

_{"I'm going to be the best because people need saving, and I have what it takes to save them!"}

---

---

Name:
Kyoji "Kyo" Sonoda

Age:
15

Appearance:
Kyoji stands at 5'10," having hit his growth spurt rather early, though his doctors say he's pretty much done growing! The boy has soft facial features, and if it weren't for his height and pierced ears he'd probably be mistaken for being younger than he really is. One of his more prominent features is his long white hair, but in a world where people have superpowers, odd hair coloring isn't a big whoop. He also has milky blue eyes, that sometimes have a little green in them too, he likes to say it's because of the weather or the clothes he's wearing. Kyo has a fit, athletic body due to his training from a young age. Having realized he's a close range fighter, he exercised often to hone his body to become a conduit for his quirk. Kyoji's attire is casual when out of combat or school, opting for comfortability more than appearance.

Personality:
Kyoji is a high-energy, determined, and amicable teenager. Kyo just generally enjoys people and being social, it's half the reason he wants to become a hero! While he's very friendly towards people and tends to give them the benefit of a doubt, once you've crossed him it's hard to gain his trust again. Kyoji has this strong moral code he's attached to himself and he tries his best to be good and righteous, but obviously, he's only human and has his own shortcomings. But it's his shortcomings that drive him to do better and succeed.

Kyo is a very determined individual, having a set of goals in life that he'll try his hardest to achieve, and uniquely, losing only makes him want to try again. If Kyo gets knocked down five times, it's damn certain that he'll get up a sixth. This even applies to his academics, which he's always struggled with, but he still tries his best. Kyoji has a strong combat sense and can be a quick thinker on the field, but when it comes to school and studying, he tends to flounder. Kyo is slightly embarrassed by his academic weakness, and when asked about it, he'll deflect and say he's street-smart, not book smart.

Kyoji, coming from a poor background, wants a better life for his family, which was a big factor as to why he applied to U.A. His ambition is stronger than ever, now that he's accepted (on a scholarship). You could say he's fired up and ready to show everyone that he has what it takes. He's a very energetic and enjoys getting people fired up, and he absolutely loves working in groups. He finds people interesting, especially if they have a cool quirk. It's not out of the ordinary to see Kyoji commenting or asking about people's quirk. Which is why he tends to be good at reading people and opponents.

Kyoji, in his deepest sense of self, just wants the best for everyone. He feels injustice in the world like a little itch in the back of his head, that desperately needs to be scratched. Kyoji wants to become a hero that fights injustice, who can help people and be a pillar of good for society. Maybe his dream is too naive? Too irrational, maybe the world just doesn't run that way.

History:
From a young age, it was clear that Kyoji was a hero in the making. Whether he was intervening in a bullying, or joking around in the classroom, it was obvious that Kyo was good with people. Raised in a lower-class family, life wasn't a walk in the park for Kyo. Kyoji was one of three, so things were sometimes hectic at home. Having an older brother and sister helped foster his ambition from a young age. He saw what they would do and try to copy them. His parents worked long hours, his father a low-level licensed hero and his mother worked as a waitress at a fancy restaurant. His brother and sister worked too, just so the family could get by.

When Kyoji manifested his quirk, he and his father grew even closer. It meant the world to him that his father set aside time to teach him about life and his quirk. He and his father would train everyday after work, and Kyoji began to show he had the makings of a hero. That all changed when his father never came home one night, just like that, he was gone. A villain had been robbing a jewelry store when his father had intervened, and ultimately was beaten in combat by the villain. Not only did the villain get away with the robbery, but he slaughtered Kyoji's father without a second thought. This opened Kyo's eyes to the injustice in the world, and showed him how much the world needed heroes. Ever since the death of his father, Kyoji had a fire lit inside him to become a Pro-hero.

Soon, it became time for Kyoji to prepare for his future. With his family deeper in poverty without his father's income, Kyo knew what he had to do. He concluded that he would get into U.A. and become a Pro-hero. Not only would he be able to help people and do what was morally right, but he'd be able to provide for his family. His brother and sister could finally get a proper education, and his mother might even be able to retire at a reasonable age. It was like killing tow birds with one stone. Now, all he has to do is live up to his word, an endeavor he'll put his blood, sweat, and tears into.

Likes:
Making friends
Combat
Improving
Music
Helping others

Dislikes:
Arrogance
Open mouth chewing
Rectangular pupils (goats freak him out)
Injustice
Being helpless

Personal Strengths:
Strong combat sense, Kyoji is a natural at fighting, especially in close quarters. His style revolves around using his speed to get in close to his opponent and taking them out or immobilizing them. The versatility of his quirk allows flexibility in his style, and as he trains more he hopes to enhance his abilities.

Determination is one of Kyoji's defining traits. If he sees someone in trouble, he'll do everything in his power to help them. Giving up isn't something Kyo likes doing either, if he sees something he needs to improve upon, he'll do his best to fix it.

Kyoji works well in team situations, being the socialite that he is. He doesn't always have to be in the spotlight, and he finds no greater joy than achieving something great with others surrounding him.

Personal Weaknesses:
Academics have always been a sore spot of Kyoji's. Though his educational background is lacking, he got into U.A. on a scholarship for his quirk and combat ability. Because of this, Kyoji finds it difficult to not be annoyed by know-it-alls because he doesn't like to admit they're smarter than him. Obviously the one subject of academia he comprehends at is physics because he had to understand his quirk in order to use it properly.

Kyo's high energy can lead him to make rash decisions sometimes. Especially if he sees something that invokes strong emotions in himself. Kyoji isn't one to just let something bad happen, sometimes he'll just react. His problem is reacting too much, too fast, especially if he doesn't know the full scope of what is happening.

Naivety is something that Kyoji still has to work at. He likes to give people the benefit of a doubt because he still believes people by nature aren't bad. He can still tell right from wrong, but he thinks that just because a person does bad things doesn't immediately mean they're a bad person.

---

Quirk Name:
Friction Force

Quirk Type:
Emitter

Quirk Basics:
Friction Force allows Kyoji to change friction acting upon himself and anything he touches. He uses this quirk to increase his mobility by reducing friction acting on his body while moving. He can also increase his traction to enhance his acceleration. He can also increase the friction caused by his body touching another body, which in turn creates heat. Due to the nature of this quirk, he is immune to high levels of heat and fire. Kyoji typically ends fights by increasing the friction acting upon his opponent to levels that immobilize them. When using his quirk, Kyoji will emit a soft white aura around himself and anything he's interacting with (just to make it visible and easier to describe IC).

Quirk Strengths:
Mobility: Kyoji's quirk allows him to reduce or increase fluid friction (air resistance) and dry friction (friction between two surfaces) to increase his mobility. He can effectively "slide" around at high speeds by reducing friction and move on places people normally can't by increasing friction on his feet and/or hands. He can increase his acceleration by increasing the traction on his feet.

Matchstick Fighting Style: Kyoji's true strength lies in close combat, and he uses a fighting style he created himself. It involves greatly increasing the friction caused by his strikes, and as a byproduct, heat is created. This is where the style gets the name "matchstick." Getting struck by Kyoji while he's using this style can cause burns from the intense friction between his skin and his opponent's skin.

Slip n' Weave: Kyoji can increase his defensive capabilities by reducing the friction of any strikes landed on himself. By rolling and weaving in combat, hits essentially "slide" off of Kyo, blunt force doesn't do much.

Area of Effect: Kyoji is known for changing the friction of the ground he's fighting on, making it difficult for his opponent to move around, while he can move like normal. This skill is difficult to pull off without impacting his teammates, once mastered it will be an effective supportive skill.

Quirk Weaknesses:
Linear Movement: When Kyo "slides" around he reduces the friction acting on his feet, meaning he can only move in straight lines because he doesn't have traction. The closest thing it can be compared to is ice skating.

Water: Anyone who uses water based quirks will be at an advantage to Kyoji's quirk, since water decreases the friction his fighting style relies on.

Piercing: Though Kyoji can slip by most blunt force, he can still be stabbed and pierced by objects, no matter how much he tries to reduce friction.

Close-Range: Kyoji utilizes close combat, and has to get within touching distance to really do any damage. So obviously, he struggles with long ranged combatants, and especially those who can fly because they can bypass his only area of effect ability.

Quirk Techniques:
Burning Fists: Kyoji overclocks his matchstick fighting style to the point that his hands and or feet catch on fire from the amount of thermal energy created from his strikes. This makes his a dangerous adversary at close range. (Not Discovered: Kyoji's superhero suit will have the ability to release a flammable fluid on command that will cause explosions once ignited by Kyoji's matchstick combat style)

Slip N' Slide: For a limited time, Kyoji can reduce the friction of the ground in a ten meter radius around himself. Obviously he's not affected by it, but it'll be very difficult for his opponents to move around unless they had something like spiked boots.

Freeze!: This is how Kyoji normally ends his fights. If Kyoji can get a grip on his opponent he can use this ability. Once the opponent is in his grasp, he increases the friction in the air and ground acting on his opponent, essentially immobilizing them unless they are insanely strong.

Just finished this guy - anything need changing?

Yōhō-ka Konchū

Appearance

_{"Perseverance, Hard Work, and a Full Stomach - Those are the main ingredients for me, "Cooking Hero Jr."!"}

Name: Yōhō-ka Konchū

Age: 16

Appearance: Standing at 8' and weighing just shy of 470 pounds, Konchu is a truly monstrous individual, and this isn't even looking at his appearance. He has dozens of holes around his body that are all connected, where countless insects reside. Konchu is also wider than normal, in order to provide more areas for his holes. He also has 4 long antennae, but these are completely cosmetic and serve no purpose. He is very muscular, and several portions of his body are covered in chitin, but this does not provide any armor or effect (other than being creepy looking...). Pictured is him in his (planned) hero uniform, which makes him not only taller and wider, but allows him to store excess insects and is pretty durable armor. As expected, it makes him much slower, making him a bad match up against faster opponents and nigh-useless in a chase. Not pictured is his apron and chef hat, which he wears to mimic the Cooking Hero, Lunch-Rush. Outside of his uniform, he is significantly slimmer and looks more humanoid, besides several insect features and the many holes across his body.

Konchu also uses these holes to hold many items of his, including, but not limited to: His phone, his wallet, pepper spray, threads of spider silk, and many snacks. Occasionally, he makes his insects drag them out for him rather than reach for them himself.

Personality: A hard worker and foodie above all else, Konchu works hard to accomplish his dreams - owning a dine-in barbecue/burger joint! However, this is only one of his dreams - his other being to help as many as people as possible. To this effect, he wishes to become a hero - not only to help those in need, but to also gain a reputation as "Cooking Hero Jr." and make his future business venture a success. He is a hard worker, and constantly strives to improve himself and grow better than he was a little bit ago - self-improvement is his philosophy! As expected of someone with dreams like this, Konchu loves cooking more than nearly anything else - just giving another person a good meal brings a tear to his eyes. Unfortunately, not many people are willing to try his food - apparently, being infested with bugs make others less willing to try your meals. By becoming a well-respected hero, Konchu hopes people will stop this prejudice against him.

Konchu strives hard to make people happy, and believes that a good meal is the fastest way to cheer someone up - but should a meal prove ineffective, Konchu will go to extreme lengths to help those he considers friends (i.e. nearly everybody he knows). He is friendly, will always try to cooperate with others, and will stand up against others in order to protect those who can't protect themselves. An extremely easy way to get him to like you would be to compliment his cooking - he's always willing to make someone a meal if they ask! Unfortunately, his large stature and monstrous appearance makes him nervous of intimidating others, and Konchu is constantly worried he is unpopular because of it.

Konchu was raised to always be kind to everyone - no matter who they were or what they believed in. As such, he goes to large lengths in order to help others, and is always willing to cooperate and compromise to help another. Even against people hostile towards hime, Konchu always tries to be diplomatic and peaceful, but this rarely has worked in the past.

Despite his kind nature and creativity in the kitchen, Konchu is far from the sharpest knife in the drawer - His entire life he could never get good grades, a source of constant shame for him. Konchu desperately tries to hide his low intelligence from others, afraid that they would insult him. This is arguably his largest source of discomfort - no matter how hard he works to improve it, his grades never seem to rise.

Overall, he has horrible Intelligence, mediocre Charm and Creativity, Decent Bravery, and Excellent Cooperativeness.

History: Born in the city of Osaka, Konchu was raised by a mother and father team who owned their own business - a small, family-owned traditional diner! Their, they sold traditional Osakan cuisine (at an affordable price, I might add!). His mother and father were kind parents, and raised him with love and care in mind - no matter what he did, they always gave him their full support. They gave him singing lessons, helped him practice drawing, and were always willing to lend a hand with his preschool studies - it rarely helped, but the thought was appreciated. Unfortunately, things changed at the age of 4.

Konchu's quirk manifested itself later than most - he was nearly 4 and a half when it did manifest itself. He grew a foot taller, and many holes lined his body - he was nearly sent to the emergency room since he didn't know how to control his quirk, and he quickly ran out of energy. Luckily, his mother's father, whom the quirk originated from, helped Konchu properly learn how to control it, saving his life. Unfortunately, having a child that spewed out bugs as a quirk wasn't really good for business in a restaurant - the family diner, which his parents had worked so hard to maintain, quickly went under when news about Konchu's quirk started going around. Eventually, the couple was unable to support the failing establishment, and they sold it to a fast food chain.

Despite losing their dream, his parents quickly bounced back - they took new jobs, both getting the same career at a larger restaurant, working as chefs. The made significantly less money and some would even call them poor, but they were frugal enough to make things work. Despite always telling him that it wasn't his fault, Konchu always blamed himself for the failing of his parent's dreams - this guilt manifested itself in his love of cooking. Every day, whenever his parent's had free time, Konchu would beg them to teach him a new recipe or technique, and they tried their best to oblige. Konchu also grew to idolize the famous chef's of the world - despite many not having useful quirks for cooking, they were still able to be well-accomplished chefs. No one, however, was more idealized than the hero Lunch-Rush.

Upon learning the existence of Lunch-Rush and professional heroes in general at the age of 8, Konchu decided to become one himself. Many of the neighborhood ridiculed him, because at the time, he could barely control the insects that poured from his skin - that was the reason his parent's restaurant went under. However, Konchu possessed a gift that was far more powerful than a naturally good quirk - he had the power of perseverance! Every day, after he finished school and practicing his cooking, he trained his quirk and body. Over the years, the number of insects he could control grew, and his quirk continued to mutate his body - as he could control larger numbers, his body grew larger in order to hold more. This, combined with his strength that he had trained intensely, catapulted him from "Weird, but not terrifying" to "Kill it with fire".

Still, even at the age of 12 and being over 6' tall, his parents still supported their son - they were even saving up a large amount of money so he could go to a university with a good hero program. However, Konchu secretly refused to accept this - their was no way he would force his parents to support his dreams - he was doing this for them, not the other way around! He doubled down on his training, and finally, at the age of 16, he applied to U.A High. While it is by far the best Hero school in the country, Konchu is more focused on it for another reason - the chef of the academy was the famous Lunch-Rush! Of course, the great "Cooking Hero Jr." had to eat the meals of the original "Cooking Hero!" And so, Konchu sent forth his application - praying that, even with his low grades and a quirk not specialized for being a hero, his attitude and perseverance would win him the day!

Dislikes:

Personal Strengths:
Strong: Even though his quirk doesn't provide a strength boost in itself, constant training and the larger stature of his mutation has allowed Konchu to grow stronger than most people.

Kind: Konchu is extremely kind, going to great lengths to help others - in fact, other than training and cooking, altruistic volunteer service is his main hobby.

Diligent: By far his strongest trait, Konchu refuses to give up on anything until he gets what he wants - This was his main driving force for becoming a hero. This, combined with his strong work ethic and morals makes him a mighty force.

Personal Weaknesses:
Stupid: Konchu tries his hardest - he really does! But it seems that, no matter how hard he tries, he can never get that one equation right! Plus, all the buzzing really makes it hard to focus. This impacts his short-term decision making and planning as well, but nowhere near as much as his test scores and general Knowledge.

Pushover: Konchu, despite his intimidating appearance, is a massive pushover. Even with only a slight amount of pushing, Konchu will fold over and compromise for another. This, however, doesn't apply if it is something that he morally disagrees with (Stealing or other crimes) or is against something he is determined to achieve. However, someone could convince him to do things he normally would not, if they were smart or charming enough to trick Konchu (which is pretty easy to do).

Indulgent: Konchu constantly eats food, and not just to train his quirk - he is a massive glutton, and whenever he has access to it, he will gorge himself as much and as often as possible. This doesn't only apply to food - Konchu will overindulge in any pleasure, from food to gambling. He has an addictive personality that only helps this, and as such, he has avoided drugs his entire life - he is terrified of becoming addicted to them.

Quirk Name: Living Hive

Quirk Type: Mutation

Quirk Basics: Numerous insects live inside of Konchu's body - these are made by consuming an excess amount of calories. They can be controlled within a 300 foot range, and Ken can use their senses at will. In order to recover stamina for it, he must consume more food, making his endurance naturally low - should he use his quirk too much, he will eventually pass out, or even die.

Quirk Strengths:
Versatility: Konchu can create a vast array of insects, from wasps and ants to beetles and mosquitoes. This not only gives him access to many types of movement styles, but also plenty of different poisons.

Size Manipulation: Konchu can alter the size of his insects to a degree - he can make them anywhere from a third of the normal size, to 3 times their average sizes. Larger sizes takes extra energy, while smaller sizes take less.

Senses: Konchu can use the insects senses at will - seeing, hearing, touching, nearly anything. He can even see through multiple insects senses at the same time. Unfortunately, he cannot use both his own and his insects senses at the same time - he must choose between one or the other. Additionally, he can only sense through a certain number of insects at a time - anything beyond five causes him nausea, while beyond 10 is impossible to maintain, as he will immediately vomit.

Quirk Weaknesses:
Inherent Weaknesses: No matter how many or how large they are, Bugs are still bugs. Konchu's bugs are not any more resistant to fire and poison than any others, and those with area of affect quirks can easily be a hard counter for him.

Armor Problems: Bugs, as you could imagine, are poor to use for armor piercing. While he is excellent against lightly/unarmored opponents, those that posses armor or some durability are much more difficult, if not impossible to harm.

Timed: No matter how much food he consumes or what bugs he produces, they have a set lifetime - they are unable to live longer than 6 hours, with larger bugs lasting less time depending on how much larger they are. This prevents him from "Stocking up" and storing large numbers of insects. Fortunately, the process of actually spawning the bugs only takes a few seconds.

Quirk Techniques:
Chili Pepper Assault: Wasps and other flying insects that Konchu creates are quickly covered in pepper spay or some irritant, before flying into the eyes and mouths of enemies. While not directly powerful, this debilitates even the most resilient foes. Unfortunately, this is weak against people properly dressed or those not affected by poison.

Stuffing Restraint: Using his impressive strength, Konchu hugs his opponent. As he does this, insects fly from him and either claw at or burrow into the enemy, causing immense pain. This is a close range technique, and is fairly dangerous because of the proximity to the villain. While this sounds extremely painful, Konchu refuses to use lethal poisons unless absolutely necessary, and the worst a person could get is a few broken bones from the pressure.

No need to fight, people willingly give up in terror.

@Aquaknight

Finished my CS! I hope it is good enough and that Val isn’t too powerful, if she is then I’ll gladly tone her down a bit!

Val Burns

_{"Money means power, and with my Quirk I might as well be the most powerful being alive."}

Name:
Val Burns

Age:
16

Appearance:
Val Burns stands at an average 5’8” with long brown hair that goes down to about halfway on her body. Her eyes are a bright brown, overall she just looks like a normal girl, a normal girl who dresses in very expensive clothing. Her outfits very from day to day, though they all share one thing in common, they are extravagant and brightly colored, in fact seeing her in anything else probably means her allowance got cut.

Personality:
In short, Val is a spoiled rotten brat, and such happens when you always get what you want without fail. Her common expectation is to get what she wants when she demands it, any later is cause for a punishment by her quirk. The one positive thing about her pretentious nature is that she is a fighter and through and through, probably one of the toughest rich girls that anyone would ever lay eyes on. However, that also brings the problem that she does not know when to quit, and that can get her into serious trouble when she is using her quirk.

Another downside is that she seems to constantly be annoyed or angry at something, sometimes she does not even know what she is actually pissed at. All that is known is that she will take that misguided anger out on anyone who dares to insult her, her family, or say something stupid. In the end, she is just not a people person nor will she ever truly be a people person. Such is life.

History:
Val was originally born into the upper society of the United Kingdom at her parent’s estate in Yorkshire to a quirkless mother and her exceptionally gifted hero of a father, known by the public as Starbuster. Like many, she received her quirk at around the age of four and it was it was something that was far beyond her control. Being a quirk fueled on raw emotion, it came out whenever she got angry or frustrated and that led to many things constantly being broken or set ablaze, yet only a minor scale. Her mother found the child to be quite a handful, but she was still kind and caring to the spoiled girl.

Then came the dreaded fire, at the age of 11 Val accidentally started a rather powerful fire while in the midst of an argument with her mother. She can no longer remember what started the argument but all she can remember was the anger blinding her. The fire quickly enveloped the estate grounds and it was a miracle that her father had gotten home to save as many people as he could. However, he found Val with the charred corpse of her mother, crying out in a rage that she was the one that killed her mother. Grief struck the family with the death of her mother and several others, and Val still blames herself for the incident. She promised to herself and to her father that she would not allow this to happen again,

For many other reasons, the father and daughter had to move to japan where Val and Starbuster worked vigorously to curb the quirk that she had. She also privately learned from a hired tutor where she learned to speak Japanese and how to properly act when out in public, though the success of that is up for debate. Eventually, it came to the point where Val felt confident enough to apply for U.A. High School.

Likes:

Expensive Clothing

Dislikes:
Commoners
Not having things
Other people in general

Personal Strengths:
Determination - Val is one who does not give in easily, she likes to see things through to the end without giving up.
Passion - In whatever she does, Val is passionate and will put forth all her effort to get the best possible results in whatever she is happening to do.
Deep pockets - Val is rich. Simple as that, money is everything.

Personal Weaknesses:
Determination - Her determination is also a weakness is that even if she is losing badly or something is physically impossible she will attempt to do it even if it may exhaust her or bring her close to death.
Unsociable - Given her personality, Val does not make friends all that easily nor is it even easy for people to willingly like her. Thus, she leads a very sad and lonely life.
Greedy - No matter what it is, money, power, happiness, she wants it all. She despises spending her own money and will often beg or threaten others into buying things for her, though so long as the person is not a pushover then generally she just has to suck it up.

Quirk Name:
Star Body

Quirk Type:
Transformation

Quirk Basics:
Val’s body becomes equivalent to that of a star’s, granted with far less heat but she is still exceeding heat generated by even the most powerful furnaces. The transformation gives her a strength and speed boost along with the heat, though it is extremely costly if she overworks herself. Furthermore there are varying degrees of how powerful the transformation is, all in order of the heat of a Star.

Quirk Strengths:

• Extremely strong and fast when active, increases exponentially as the hotter she becomes.
• Heat, in her red form, Val’s surface temperature exceeds over 500 degrees Fahrenheit in her blue form it triples to 1,500, just enough to melt steel.
• Heat Resistance
  
  Quirk Weaknesses:
• Energy Consumption, maintaining such a high heat and such power requires a lot of energy. Even in her red form it is hard for her to last for more than an hour. Thus it forces her to end fights quickly.
• Ice Weakness, despite her insanely high heat generation she is vulnerable to people who can rapidly cool her down and reverse her form.
• Emotion based, her transformation requires her to be angry and the only way she can grow brighter is by getting angrier. This limits her in many ways as if she grows cocky, then she will begin to cool down without wanting to.
• Uncontrollable, Val can barely control her motions when she enters even her red form, but when she begins to grow brighter, her moves become reckless and based on instinct alone.

Quirk Techniques:

Meteor Shower - This technique is essentially a move that is dedicated to quick fire punches, unrelenting and extremely fast. The move is made to wear an opponent down, forcing them to give up due to the heat or all the punches.

Supernova - This technique is very much a double edged sword, Val can go through all of her remaining energy to generate a powerful explosion around her, powerful enough to level a small building. The downside is that she will normally be decommissioned for the rest of the fight.

Edit: decided to decrease her quirk’s surface temp to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and her final form to 1,500 degrees.

Tetsuo

_{"It's harder than you think to come up with a cool catchphrase."}

Name: Tetsuo Maeda

Age: 15

Appearance: Kind of short and skinny for his age (5'6"), Tetsuo had had to get used to being the smallest and youngest looking kid in the class. He usually prefers to wear simple stuff like a hoodie and t-shirt without much regard for fashion. Maybe it's because of his quirk but Tetsuo tends to favour dark colours. He's also a big fan of getting merch from his favourite bands and shows so his shirts tend to have big logos or pictures on them.

He's not a fan of tight or formal clothing either so his uniform is usually on the scruffy side. His posture is usually great though! Just so he doesn't have to look shorter than he really is.

Personality: A shy kid who isn't suited to hero work really. Tetsuo is kind of a coward at heart and his quirk has only strengthened that trait. He's always been shorter and quieter than most kids his age and has let himself slip into the background more than once. He doesn't even really have the nerve to stand up for himself against his tormentors when it comes to the bullying that can be such a common experience for teenagers, always managing to convince himself that it's better to choose your battles or to not sink to their level. Though that excuse is wearing thin these days.

On top of the self consciousness he feels about his less than impressive appearance Tetsuo harbors mixed feelings about his quirk. There are times when racing through the dark and passing by like a phantom feels exhilarating to him, a rush that he would never trade for anything. Then there's the shame he feels over it, worst of all he's fully aware that it was other people who gave him that shame. To his old classmates Shadow Crawl reeked of a villain power. Who hides around in the dark like that? Jeers of cowardice usually followed whenever he used it as a way to escape or get around an obstacle. Others thought it was creepy as he could pop out of nowhere like a ghost or some kind of imp. Some people even accused him of using it to spy on people, that he might use to peep on girls changing or stuff like that, SOMETHING HE WOULD NEVER DO! But accusations and rumours stick... so further into the shadows he slunk.

It was determination to prove people wrong that drove him to apply for UA and sparked his idea of becoming a hero (not that he didn't already dream of it, what kid doesn't?). Tetsuo is a dreamer at heart, but his brain thinks and dreams quickly, bouncing from one idea to the next. His mental fortitude may be flighty and in need of training but his quick thinking and reaction times have helped him get to grips with his quirk and have only been sharpened by practise. He's already come up with multiple hero personas and is always pondering over ways to use his quirk since it tends to demand outside the box thinking. Though one big flaw in all these plans is that Tetsu has never been in a real fight, always preferring to hide and evade. He's never liked violence anyway, he went vegetarian just because he hated the idea of innocent little animals getting hurt. Maybe once he settles on a mask design he'll make it a part of his signature style, to be so stealthy the bad guys won't even know he's captured them until it's too late!

Deep down Tetsuo doesn't really like himself all that much but he's determined to change that. The first step in his plan is to get accepted into the hero course, a place where no one knows him and he can be free to make a fresh start. Although so far this fresh boost of confidence has just amplified his love of sarcasm.

History: What is there to tell? A single child of a salaryman dad (Who had a super jump quirk) and a mom who worked in real estate (with sonic screaming). Tetsuo just went through school like any other kid. He never really thought that anything he did really set him apart from others. He did well as far as his grades were concerned, very well, actually, the lack of a social life had that backhanded perk at least and he always had a knack for remembering useless stuff he learned on the last documentary he watched. He even joined up with the school track team. He was never one of the star runners but a good diet and perseverance certainly let him run longer than a lot of his team mates. Though he went on to quit the team after a few years, Tetsuo never felt like he really belonged there anyway, especially as all the other runners started growing into streamlined speedsters and well... he was the kid who had to work his little legs extra hard to keep up. Still, he didn't give up on running as one of his favorite things to do now is put his headphones on and lose himself in a run and an accompanying playlist.

He quickly got used to being on the bottom rung of the social ladder and convinced himself that it was something he didn't care about, school was just something you had to get through to become an adult and then your real life started after all. That didn't stop Tetsuo from developing a crush on any girl who was even passingly nice to him though.

Like most kids Tetsuo started to come into his own once his quirk developed. Not in a great way, like coming out of his shell or talking to people more, no he couldn't make things that easy for himself. His confidence would only grow in private, like when he went out on the weekend to practice 'Shadow Running' in a quiet spot or, in his most outlandish acts of defiance, sneaking out at night to practice pushing Shadow Crawl to its limits. That also lead to the embarrassing task of buying skin rash cream the next day.

Tetsuo doesn't care to talk about his private life to others, it isn't one he thinks is very interesting. His story wasn't one defined by big dramatic moments or life shattering events. Sure getting bullied was bad but it was something that happened day in, day out, and caused its damage like a daily dose of paper cuts. Sure his mom can be overbearing and her super scream makes getting scolded harsh and super embarrassing but that was just his life. Yeah his dad was always at work and Tetsuo never got much training in the ways of 'Becoming a man!' but that was just how he lived his life.

Up to now Tetsuo's time has been made up of a dull slog, halfhearted attempts and inevitable retreats. And he's sick of it! There may not have been an inspiring moment that pushed Tetsuo to peruse herohood but that seed was still planted and watered just a little bit each day, and now it's ready to bloom. He's determined to get into the hero course and take control of his own life and his own future. To live for something more than just carrying on and walk into the spotlight, even if its just by one little step at a time.

(He's also harboring the secret wish to get a girlfriend but sshhh)

Likes: Curry! - Music (but not live stuff) - Track - New ideas - Cute girls - Daydreaming - Animals - Documentaries

Dislikes: Confrontation - Awkward silences - Weights - being the centre of attention - Getting beaten real bad (close loses don't hurt so bad) - Meat - Hot weather

Personal Strengths: Surprising endurance - Quick thinking - Self taught quirk experiments - good memory

Personal Weaknesses: Lack of confidence - Never been in a fight - Cynical - Loner ("Recovering loner" to himself)

_____________________________________________________

Quirk Name: Shadow Crawl

Quirk Type: Emitter

Quirk Basics: Tetsuo is able to enter any shadow except his own (Becoming one with it as he likes to say) and hide inside it as well as travel along it at high speed if the shadow is long enough. For example: imagine a long shadow of something like... a skyscraper, Tetsuo would be able to enter at the base of the shadow and blitz along it before exiting at the shadow's tip. This is a handy trick he uses if multiple shadows overlap.

Quirk Strengths: Shadow Crawl's primary use is stealth. Once Tetsuo enters a shadow he melds with it completely, disappearing from view almost completely as well as making no sound.

The quirk also increases his mobility within the limits of its power. Since Tetsuo is no longer bound by the limits of his physical body, his speed improves dramatically, allowing him to zip through the shadows like a wraith and move around the enviroment in ways he wouldn't be able to do normally such as clinging to ceilings and moving up and down walls.

He's since learned that the quirk isn't limited to the shadow he entered through as well. When asked to describe it Tetsuo has said: "So long as my point of entry and exit are big enough for me to fit through then anything goes. Have you ever stopped and looked at how long all the shadows get around town when the sun gets low? Everything drags on and they all end up moving or connecting in some way... it's like a web I can move through. Maybe I should make my costume something to do with spiders!"

And of course once the sun goes down pretty much anything goes for Tetsuo's range of movement and options. Some of his highlights of how he's used his quirk - which he included in his written application to UA - were keeping a personal best record of how far he can make it through downtown's shadows before hitting a dead end and riding the train's shadow all the way to school (though that last one is something he doesn't want to ever try again).

Quirk Weaknesses: The most obvious limit on Tetsuo's quirk is the time of day and the terrain. His ability through the dark is entirely reliant on his access to useful shadows at the time. Sure he could dive into one to get away but if that shadow is isolated from anything else then he's just left stranded. If left out in the open in the middle of the day during those hours when the sun is at its height and the shadows are at their shortest then Tetsuo is next to useless. Sources of light, though great for casting shadows against things, can also be a big pain as they cut through the dark.

Surface disruption is another big issue. Though it's much harder for Tetsuo to be hurt while in the shadows (he still doesn't care for being stepped on) it is possible that if someone was to locate his hiding spot and break up the shadows in it, like say shining a strong light or blasting the surface it was located on they could knock him out of the shadows and undo his work.

Physical side effects are a common symptom of quirk overuse and Tetsuo is no different. His problem is that if he spends too long in his shadow form he starts to develop an itchy and embarrassing skin rash. Please don't tell anyone.

Other core limitations include him being unable to meld with his own shadow. Another is that although he can bring inanimate objects like clothes and gear in with him - so long as he keeps hold o them - he can't bring people in. He's yet to dare even trying to pull someone else into a shadow in case it hurts them.

Quirk Techniques: Hit and run - Not so much a special technique as it is Tetsuo's basic combat approach, jumping from one shadow to another to hide from his opponent and strike from where they least expect... at least that's what he plans on doing if he ever gets into a fight.

Soft Landing - A passive technique that took some very cautious experimentation from Tetsuo to figure out. In the past he's described entering the shadows as a mix of "Diving into cool water mixed with floating in the air all at once" it was that feeling that got him to experiment entering shadows at higher speed and aiming for distant targets. This is how he found out that diving into a shadow stores up his momentum in their squishy little world allowing him to jump from great heights and still land safely if there's a shadow for him to land in, though he'll then exit that shadow with most of his momentum still intact which is kind of awkward. He thinks that in theory this means he could turn powerful attacks back around on an opponent if the situation was right.

@Lauder I must agree. If Val isn't the obvious option, then there is no one fitting to become class pres. And I mean, wealthy class pres means more shit for the class, amiright or what?

PS: Since GM-sama hasn't replied to me yet, I'll post my intended CS here and let the community decide whether its fine or not.
