[OOC] Kokoro Academy - A My Hero Academia RP (12/12 Slots)

[Stern Algorithm]

@Stern Algorithm...six feet, huh?

@Toots

Ye, girl tall. Wierd-lookin' feet adds a few inches too.

[Toots]

@Cio Arrogant is fine, look at Erode's app. If I find a similar looking image, I'll let you know. Anyway, ACCEPTED.

---

By the way, I might be limiting the slots to 12 for now.

[Asura]

I've got a character that can be quickly adapted for this, though I guess I should ask outright whether a quirk that fundamentally changes their body composition, ala Kurogiri is too wonky to fit with the stricter quirk criteria you're running.

Basically, is a goop girl gonna be too broken to work?

[Toots]

@Asura We've got someone trying to go for a goop guy though. Currently trying to work out the kinks with that app, so probably we should avoid too much of an overlap?

[Asura]

I'll just throw down a pun and a quirk for now then, as I work out the finer details, hopefully this evening.

Akari's quirk, aptly named Battery, endows her with the ability to absorb electricity she comes in contact with like a sponge and store it safely within herself. Once absorbed, she is capable of burning this energy empower her body and perform feats of physicality far beyond her baseline limits. As she is incapable of producing electricity with her quirk, Akari must depend on external sources to recharge should she exhaust herself. Additionally, she must carefully ration out the electricity she has absorbed, as the amount of 'juice' she has on tap at any given time not only fuels her quirk, but is intrinsically tied to the amount of stamina she has available. She has found, in recent years, that she is able to discharge her stored power on contact with a surface, but seeing as though it more quickly depletes her reserves, she has not explored it in depth.

[Cio]

I came up with a cool (if not a lil useless) idea for a quirk and now I want to make a second character... I understand that's probably not possible though, as the slots are limited and it wouldn't be fair.

[vFear]

@Toots
Oh wow, you're right, it's shockingly similar. I had no idea black even existed. It's a touch of a shame to give up the art whore aesthetic but at the end of the day it's neither here or there really. I'll edit in the quirk to be black instead.

EDIT: Modified the canon quirk to include bringing people and objects through with it. It's all in the character sheet, including limitations on that. Let me know if that's okay.

Sakimoto Hiroki, 'The Origami King'

_Name

Sakimoto Hiroki

_Age

15

_Gender

Male

_Origin

Saitama, Saitama Profecture

_{Physical Description}

Standing 172 cm tall and weighing approx 81 kg, Hiroki's entire body is actually composed of multiple sheets of layered paper of equal mass, folding, rolling, and bending into a humanoid shape, giving him a perpetual white color. The paper sheets inter lays over each other in such a way that only close examination can determine the individual pages. Features that provide any more definition other than shaping his volume (I.E, his eyes, eyebrows, creases of his cloths) actually appear drawn in pencil and ink in multiple shades but only from a gray scale. He can fold his paper out to make simple clothes should he ever be caught naked and has limited control over some of the ink that helps with details, adding designs, but this is purely cosmetic.

_{Quirk Type}

Mutation

_{Quirk Description}

He calls his quirk Origami King. He has the power to unfold his body like paper giving him reach and flexibility. When he unfolds, the papers that form his limbs look like multiple sheets of paper stuck together end to end and he can use it as a normal limb, even using it to wrap up someone at that distance. Each of his limbs can unfold up to twelve meters with little loss to tensile and tactile strength. Within that twelve meters he can layer and fold his limbs, making hard points of layers or slicing appendages. He wonders if he can unfold his limbs in other ways.

Anywhere beyond the twelve meters, the limbs become too thin and flimsy and physical strength starts to dwindle the farther he tries to reach. Additionally, they are much more prone to getting damaged severely without the thickness or flexible control to keep them protected so he goes beyond his reach at risk. The max he can reach is thirty meters if the entire limb is simply as thin as a sheet of paper, only strong enough to be held out straight and not much else.

His skin, nerve, veins, and muscle fibers are more like paper. Intact his body resembles that of the layers like he was created by a 3D printer. Fire is deadly to him, and getting him wet makes him slow and sluggish. He is a bit more resistant to blunt damage, but slashing and cutting affect him normally. A sheet of paper cut represents a normal cut, and he will bleed from the wound, staining the area red. When he exerts himself, his body gets a haggard, crinkly look and he is prone to the usual affects of fatigue with extended effort.

Questions:

• Given its reputation, why apply to Kokoro Academy?
  
  Sakimoto sits up straight in his chair for the interview, looking very formal and wanting to make a good impression. "Sir! "Heroism is a family business where I come from. My family have deep ties with the heroing agency there, and there has been a Sakimoto in the Agency since it's founding. My parents, both of them were heroes, and they say I'm destined to follow in their footsteps. Need a license, need to learn, need to show the world what I can do."
• Why do you want to be a professional hero?
  
  "What am I supposed to say here. I want to save everyone. I want to be the best there is. I want to see justice and peace throughout the world. I'm not going to lie to you. All that stuff does sound great but I'm not doing this for idealism, or for my family, or the greater good. I want to be a pro -because I can. I want the notoriety, I want the fame. I want to be the one that people will look to and get inspired. Write books about, put more little dreamers in this chair right where I'm sitting at now, talking about how the Pro Hero Origami King inspired them to push their limits and stand up. Yeah, that sounds pretty sweet. And not going to lie, getting a thank you every now and again from someone is nice too."
• What kind of professional hero do you want to become?
  
  He makes a face, a silly question. "What kind? The best kind of course. Oh wait, you wanted specifics. I want to tackle big problems. Like Edgeshot. All Might. Be a real household name. But- I think I'd try to do more with it. Champion a cause. See what the kind of changes I can make. I think I'm more concerned with the right now then the future. Ask me again in three years when I'm a pro."
• Best describe yourself in five sentences.
  
  "Only five huh? Confident, Achieving, the best student in my primary school. I've been training all my life to be the best that I can, so that I could be sitting here one day. I've lived in a hero family, living for a hero name, and personifying the hero ideal. Two more. But I've screwed up before, tried to rush it, and I'm not so proud to realize that I've a long way to go. And so, back on the path, back on the right, and showing what I can do." He thought it sounded cool for a moment before his gaze shifted, maybe it was a little aggrandizing...
• What are you interests and hobbies?
  
  "My family time and schooling kept me busy, but I'm really not much different from anyone else. I see the movies, I read the mangas, I know the memes. I didn't have alot of time to myself with training for days like this or studying so I made sure to blow off steam whenever I can. I guess my favorite hobby, well... it's cliche, but drawing and origami. I don't know, its just... soothing. Very zen you know?"
• Are there any notable accomplishments you want to us to be aware of?
  
  I've been trained by pros. I know the ins and outs of the hero job and lifestyle. Sometimes I'd get to follow with them on patrols after school, and occasionally there'd be a problem. I didn't get involved or anything, I wasn't stupid enough to get the agency in trouble, but sometimes things happened. Back draft from a fire would send a poor old lady out a window, and thank goodness I was there to catch her. Discrete and efficient."
• Tell us something about your quirk that most might not know? Any events or memories, be it joyous or ill, tied to it?
  
  He goes quiet for a moment, thinking. "I- I'm, I'm a fan of Edgeshot. I mean, I'm not a fanboy or anything like that, but some of the stuff he does. I try to figure it out, try to do it myself. I just feel like, if I have a chance to meet him, learn from him or learn how he did- There's- alot more I can do!" Despite the positive demeanor of his answer, his hands and shoulders noticeably tighten up.
• Why should we consider you over the other applicants? What can you offer that they cannot?
  
  Hiroki gives a smug little grin. "Versatility. If the Number 4 Hero Edgeshot is any indication, someone with the ability to stretch and manipulate their body becomes able to rescue civilians and capture villains. Eventually most heroes find their niche, the thing they are best at that uses their quirk to the greatest effect. But the pros, the pros don't niches. They can fight in any situation, save lives no matter the circumstance. How many times has there been a problem where 'heroes' had to wait for the proper backup? Real pros never have that problem. They don't settle. Just like me, I won't settle. When I'm a hero, I'm going pro. Saving lives, catching criminals. Honestly how could you refuse such a promising asset? Gentlemen."

[Toots]

@vFear Everything seems okay, but the alteration of the quirk to allow transportation of people seems stronk. The user of this quirk in the manga could only do this given almost a year of training.

Spoiler

Once she brings them in with her into the "Black", is there any way to counter it or are they trap there for as long as she's making use of her quirk?

@Asura So far, so good. I like what I see.

@ShwiggityShwah I'm having a hard time visualizing what you're wanting to go with. What I'm imagining are limbs that would probably look like Sero's tape, but still retain the ability and strength of one's arms, if not stronger.

[Cio]

@Toots do you think that later on it would be possible to make more than one character? :>

[ShwiggityShwah]

@Toots

writeups.org/wp-content/uploads/Yumik…

Looks like that, the anime read or die is a big inspiration for the power. Literally people control paper. The effects are awesome.

The arm essentially is like stacked paper that rolls out. But connected. Like the tape but they are just extended limbs.

If he stretches past a point he needs to use paper from another part of his body. Its like fold a body, more of and more of him go into reach out but he cant seem to fly the way edgeshot seems to, or at least reaching past a building. The longer he reaches the more he stretches out but be cant send all of his limbs in different directions past a certain point.

Example. Past twelve meters, his other arm gets smaller as the papers shift to slide over to the other arm to provide more reach and stability

[vFear]

@Toots
I imagine just shining light on where they are in the black would pop both of them out. This would probably go standard without anyone or anything additional being in there either. Even then, as she is now she can do it for maybe 4 or 5 seconds at the most, if that? Just enough to get someone out of a collapsing building or through the crack of a door to get them out of a room filling with smoke. I'd like to have that develop as she does.

[Toots]

@ShwiggityShwah Hmmm. But with Foldabody, he's body takes paper-like properties, so all the structures from muscles down to the nerves are intact even if folded. It makes sense why he's limbs are still strong despite being like paper. But with actual paper limbs, how strong could those flimsy things get? And what if his unfolded arms get cut, torn, or burned? No repercussions?

@Cio Not an impossibility.

[Toots]

@vFear I get that, but in a one on one, they're basically helpless once grabbed and brought into the black, right?

[vFear]

@Toots
If I'm honest, I didn't really think that far ahead. I'd imagine that it'd be difficult to keep them in there if they struggled a lot when her peak is maybe 4 or 5 seconds at the most as she is now when they're cooperating. I'm willing to restrict this further if you'd like, or just flat out remove it until later on.

[Toots]

@vFear I thought about it. It's cool, go for it. So I guess the 4th sloth is yours. ACCEPTED.

[ShwiggityShwah]

@Toots

Let's keep it simple. An unfolded arm is only going to be a few sheets of his arm. If they get cut, or damaged, he gets damaged but the limb isnt cut off.
He loses the sheets, sustaining an injury and weakening the limb. Some of the sheets torn represent damage but he loses some stability

Also.

vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/powerlist…

Again I refer to the anime read or die. Paper is also made of carbon, same things as diamonds, all that matters is bonds. Tearing one paper is easy. Try tearing 30 at once. That's still pretty thin but significantly harder.

theboxotruth.com/the-box-o-truth-31-t…

If you want me to get scientific papers about how just 20 sheets of paper have been known to resist slicing of knives and can act as make shift armor, 7inches stops a bullet, or the tensile strength of paper adds exponentially per sheet layered. But I'm trying to keep it simple. He cant lift more than a typical athlete with it, adding in leverage and mechanical physics.

It's a stretchy power that's just for visual theme.

[Toots]

@ShwiggityShwah It just feels more like magic than something like a bodily function or some mutant ability at best. Not really getting a MHA vibe with how it is now.

[ShwiggityShwah]

@Toots

*Pff*

We have very differing opinions. Read or die is magic, I'm just using them as a visual.

Over the top spectacle is MHA, with physics almost tossed out the window as with most animes. I'm actually acting within scientific bounds by what paper can do and I'm still getting resistance.

It's a stretch power.

Is it being rejected only by visual asethetic?

[Toots]

@ShwiggityShwah I asked for a visual, that's what you gave me. Can't blame me for that. The visual I'm getting is stacks of paper as limbs, which like I said, seems more magical for me. If you can give me an example that would appear less magical, I'd appreciate it.

What I'm getting at is that if it's a stretch powers then it's just an extension of your character's body. Whatever damage it recieves, your character is gonna receive as well.

If the limb is thinner out and stretches as if it was paper, if it gets severed, it get severed. The same would apply with any other stretch ability. Unless, I'm missing something?
