[OOC] My Hero Academia: Another Story

[SimpleWriter]

No. I am working on the IC first post. I'll accept others if others join, but we don't need 20. :)

@slackpack @Mangrale

Are you two still with us, working on characters? :)

[Mangrale]

@SimpleWriter
Yes, and in earnest as of late. I should have something by tomorrow.

Shark Man

Appearance:

On the Reg

Name: Ryan Jacobs (Assumed name. He's wanted for murder under his real name.)

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Hero/Villain Name: Sharkman

Quirk Name: Shark

Quirk Type: Mutation

Quirk Description: Sharkman does whatever a shark can. His mutation has left him looking relatively human. His most striking feature is his mouthful of pearly white, sharklike teeth. Say ah! These have tremendous bite force, though he doesn't use that on enemies much because that would be a little gross. They come out easily if he's punched, but they grow back quickly too. He also has gills on the sides of his neck that allow him to breathe underwater, though he has to keep swimming to make water move through them or else he'll suffocate.

Like a shark, Ryan has a keen sense of smell. In particular, he can smell blood from up to 3 blocks away, and differentiate between blood coming from individuals. The smell of blood in fact gets him high: While normally an affable and even gentle person, once he starts smelling blood he becomes overcome with the desire to spill more. Sometimes he gets a little carried away and accidentally nibbles on people he's fighting. Usually he can snap himself out of it once he's done fighting.

Sharks also have the best electreception of any animal. He can sense living things by the electrical fields they create. He can sense them out to 200 feet, though he has to be actually paying attention to spot it.
Finally, Ryan's strength is amplified. Right now, he's on part with an athletic human, but with training could improve himself to superhuman levels. This also makes him an extremely good swimmer.

Inventory & Possessions:

Villain Costume: Ryan is a huge weeb so he based it off of anime. He has this big black jacket with a high collar. It's not just there to make him look like an edgelord: It's actually got pockets he puts metal plates in. That high collar is a neck protector. His jeans also are similarly armored. Underneath that, he wears a protective vest. His bandana conceals a metal face mask which distorts his voice, and he can soak it in a small bottle of vinegar he keeps to protect himself from tear gas and other inhalants. Finally, he keeps a pair of goggles on hand, though he doesn't wear them very often. They're UV protected, so make it so flashbangs don't affect him. They also stop him from getting blood in his eyes.

First Aid Kit: A small first aid kit. Usually keeps it on his bike. Contains a roll of bandages, stitches, antiseptic, painkillers, and some styptic gel.

Pantera: Ryan's bike. He had the engine modified to produce far higher horsepower than normal, and it is capable of towing a truck behind it.

Scissors: A giant pair of scissors that Ryan bought off of Etsy. They are made from titanium. Each blade weighs 3 pounds, with the entire apparatus weighing 6 pounds. The right blade extends from a chain, which itself extends from a gauntlet he wears on a right hand. He can wield them in two "forms." The first is Scissors form. This is when the blades are attached like in an intact pair of scissors. The left blade has edges on both sides, so he can still cut someone with it even when he as them closed, using it similar to a claymore. If he gets something in them and closes the handles, he can generate massive cutting power, easily capable of bisecting a person. Getting a moving target in between them is unwieldy, but if he can, it's an extremely dangerous attack.

The second form is Pair form. He splits the two blades, holding one in each hand. This mode is faster than Scissors form, and he has the benefit of a blade in each hand.

The chain can extend up to 25 feet. The gauntlet has a mechanism for reeling it back in, though he does need to have it wound up for that and it can't pull a person in or anything. The right blade has a hook-like protrusion on the blunt side, and Ryan is quite adept at throwing it so that it hooks into things it punctures and then reeling it in. He can also swing the blade from the chain as a flail-like weapon, using it to trap and bind opponents.

Sample Post: Ryan held his suitcase to his chest, gazing out at the golden gate bridge. It was a rainy day as he took a cab into San Francisco. He'd done some pretty terrible things back home. This group called the League of Villains had offered to give him a new name and a new direction in life. He'd always wanted to be a hero, but it was becoming increasingly clear that the nature of his quirk would simply not allow for that. He'd always sort of knew. He'd spent his youth in and out of juvie.

"Hey, thanks." Ryan said, reaching into his wallet and taking out cab fare, plus a tip. He got out of the backseat, taking a suitcase with his belongings and a giant pair of scissors strapped to it. He had a bit of a walk to the base, but didn't bother taking out an umbrella, or even seem to mind. He was actually in a very good mood. He'd always felt out of place in society. Now, he finally had some hope of finding others like him, who desired to carve out a place of their own.

I finally finished my CS

Morris Loup

Appearance:

Name: Morris Loup
Age: 12
Gender: male

Hero/Villain Name: Silver Fang
Quirk Name: Moon Child
Quirk Type: transformation
Quirk Description: Morris has the ability to transform into an anthropomorphic wolf that grants superhuman strength, durability, speed and agility. In this form he is more ferocious and has less control over his impulses. His form possesses incredibly sharp and powerful claws that can through metal. Morris' senses in this form are far more powerful than any normal human being, which also includes night vision. Unlike the creatures from horror films, Morris is not weak against silver bullets, but his form is not invincible and if he takes too much damage then he will revert back to his human form. Also being knocked unconscious will also revert him back to his human form and make him vulnerable. Intense exhaustion will also cause him to slowly change back into his human form.

Inventory & Possessions: just the usual stuff a kid his age would have.

Sample Post:
Morris wondered what life the academy would be like especially as someone with a quirk like his. How many werewolves became heroes and didn't scare citizens to death thanks to depictions of them in horror movies. Who knew what his future would hold, but he was still going to try and do the best that he could.

He remembered the first time he had transformed like it was yesterday. He had been six years old at the time and he had been picked on by some local punks causing trouble with kids. His anger had flared and that's when he had transformed into his wolf form and easily overpowered them like they were flies and left them injured and hospitalized. That changed his life and when his parents heard about this they decided to home school him out of fear for the safety of other kids should he lose control, at least until he was eligible to be accepted at U.J.

Now he was going to finally have a chance to learn how to use his powers for greater good and bring pain to some villains. Morris then would feel like he didn't have to hide anymore about who he really was. Granted there were countless people with quirks, but his seemed unique and more dangerous compared everyone else he knew growing up.

"So are you excited to be going to the academy?" one of his few friends asked.

"Yeah, I can finally not have to worry about my quirk there" Morris replied.

"It's going to be different with you not being around, i'll have to hangout with the other kids and they don't have your kind of quirk" his friend said with a hint of sadness to his voice.

"It won't be that bad, once I get into the hero business I'll be back here and we can hangout even more. How's that?"

"I guess that's fine. Do you think the school will have super powerful students?"

"I don't know, but they won't be better than me" Morris answered with a grin and his friend laughed at they continued to laugh and play games throughout the day. Morris had to admit that he was going to miss this place and he hoped that he would be able to return a hero some day.

@Spike

Before you finish your CS be aware that that Quirk isn't a quirk at all. People can't simply create objects out of thin air, even Momo whose sole ability was creating stuff had to "pay" something (body fat) for her creations.

Furthermore, a quirk should have one function and one function only. Whether or not you can use it for other (related) gimmicks, depends on each character's ability. I can accept he dividing his weapons (after an explanation on how he creates them in the first place), but not the power nullification part. It makes so sense at all that a creation quirk would be able to do that.

@Weird Tales
Denied.

There's just too much wrong with that CS for me to bother to elaborate. Just know that this idea won't work here.

Do something else if you still wanna play. Period.

@KoL

Fair enough. Mm I'll make it so that he can like unfold them from maybe his arm then. I can ditch the nullification too, sure.

[Mangrale]

I most assuredly want to continue working on the sample post, so this is technically a WIP. But at the same time, I may have plenty more time on my hands if the rest of it isn't accepted, so I'd appreciate knowing one way or another. If it is, I still won't put it in the CS tab until it's actually finished.

Silver Wing Hero

_______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________ Name: Sofia Rousseau Age: 17 Gender: Female Hero Name: Noctera Quirk Name: Moth Quirk Type: Mutant Quirk Description In regards this, her current and most advanced stage of progression when compared to similar cases, the Moth Quirk allows for many of the traits and abilities inherent to many species of moths. Chief among numerous physiological changes are her second pair of highly dexterous arms, her robust set of insect wings and her sophisticated compound eyes, well adapted for scenarios in which light is scarce. Even so, her unique anatomy is not without certain holdups. Furthermore, flight, although very useful at its current level, has room for improvement in terms of speed, maneuverability, and sustainability. Should Sofia attain to her true potential, her instincts will shape her into a highly maneuverable agent of nearly unmatched perception, especially in instances that's would find most at a definite disadvantage. ____________________________________________________________________

Appearance

Sofia's body has reached a fair balance between her human and moth sides, to the point at which her unique endoskeleton extends throughout much of her body and stops at the elbows for her primary arms and the knees for her legs. From there on her bones fuse seamlessly into a highly durable exoskeleton over the rest of the appendage. For the most part, she has human-like skin that takes on a very pale white coloration, but there are large darker areas of a flexible chitinous material that stretches up the side of her torso from her hips to just under her main shoulders. It is from here that her exoskeletal sub-arms start from.

The composition of her head itself is adapted so as to support her fully functioning compound eyes and sensory antennae. In contrast, accommodating her wings and secondary arms as a part of her life is an ongoing effort and the majority of her casual fashion choices are made with them in mind. Even her student uniform is likely to have been tailored for her to an extent.

Inventory & Possessions

• Moonchaser Suit - Somewhat fluffier than the prototype, it is of a flexible, aerodynamic design that carries over the ideal of being lightweight while providing a great deal of warmth, insulation and protection.
• Dual Silk Throwers - Under each baggy sleeve of her suit is one of two devices strapped to her forearms, invented to launch a length of a high-strength lashing filament with a small metallic spike at the end. Currently shoots up to a distance of 5 meters.
• Night Shade - Mask-like facial gear that fastens over her face and can deploy a set of tinted lenses over her eyes to counter bright sources of light. It can also functions as a gas mask.

Sample Post

"Are you quite alright, Miss Sofia? It might not be the worst idea to take a small break, you know?" suggested the old man with a minute sense of concern as his head dipped down towards her. The sound of her strained grunting resounded through the spacious home gym. It was the weekend after the first semester physical exam and the girl had taken to it with a newfound urgency.

"Yes... Theodore... I am fine..." she gradually muttered out a response at the height of her pushups, more than a little miffed that she had an audience of any sort now. "... Please... do not make... me lose count..." her dainty voice struggled to sound even remotely authoritative. She found herself holding her breath as she focused to keep track on her tally.

The man, looking to be at about his mid thirties early forties, just stood towering there next to her with a cold glass of lemonade in his hands, an amused hum the moment she immediately folded her arms behind her back and shakily switched to her smaller. It was true that he didn't know the full extent of her capabilities, but did know the sight of someone stubbornly pushing their limit. Mere minutes later, he could almost have guessed the exact moment those arms of hers gave out and she collapsed right there on the mat, panting haggardly.

He lowered closer to her, speaking in a quieter tone though taking on lecturing quality. "Very impressive, Miss Sofia. But I find that the more you breath in, the more oxygen reaches your muscles," he said, the girl responding with a bit of flustered breaths before she flopped to her back for the rest of her recovery. "I know you've been on edge since the exam, and no one's gonna fault you for wanting to get stronger. But that's no excuse for overexerting yourself."

Sofia immediately began relenting using the house's gym to exercise and not some place more private, even more so than starting push-ups so soon after weight training. Though she puffed up her already ruddy cheeks and turned her face away from him, she knew she wasn't going to get better at this overnight and maybe this binge of hers did more to ensure a rather torturous tutoring session the next day than it did bring her closer to her goal.

After a minute or so of awkward silence between them, the dapperly dressed gentleman reached over to towel laying on his shoulder and handed it to her, her hand tentatively taking it to clean herself up. Amazingly refreshing through it was to wipe away the sweat from herself, she felt utterly ridiculous. Placidly her main arms would lift her up to a sitting position, her other pair taking the towel in their stead. Her mind wrestled with what to say, the words still not fully there by the time she started speaking. "Um, Theodore... D-Do you still think that I have what it takes... you know, to be a hero?"

[SimpleWriter]

@Mangrale I dig. It has that MHA feel for me. Seems like you balanced it well, with lots of room for future improvement. I am not the hrash critic though. x) Wait for the other GMs to approve, then you're fine. :)

[KoL]

@Mangrale
Your ideas for quirk and gear are ok, if that's what you want to know.

Also, you are going to get a free star for allowing me to learn how to do something I've been thinking about for months/years that's working with these god forsaken BBCode tables.

[Lonewolf685]

As long as you don't look at it on your phone. Then the Quirk Description gets cut off half way over the edge of the hider.

[TheWendil]

@Weird Tales

To be specific; if he's going to be attending the hero academy, he needs to be older. Furthermore, your Quirk is doing too much, especially for a Transformation Quirk. If you want to have the full advantages of being a wolf, then just have his Quirk be a Mutant wolf Quirk, in which he's a wolf all the time. Furthermore, I don't see how him being berserk fits with an animal Quirk, as most if not all people with animal Quirks have control over it. That, and I don't see many ways he can grow and improve his Quirk aside from controlling his berserk nature.

@Spike

I'll wait for your edit changes before looking at your CS.

@Mangrale

So far she's fine by me.

[Weird Tales]

@KoL ouch

[SimpleWriter]

@Weird TalesI'm agreeing with what Windel said. He's too young, and the Quirk feels less like a MHA Quirk and more like a pure Werewolf. There needs to be modification in this sheet before it can be accepted. As Windel said, most Animal Quirks in MHA are perma-changed. *point to avatar*

@SimpleWriter

What age? There wasn't any specific in the cs

[Lonewolf685]

@Weird Tales

It's an MHA RP. IE, high school for heroes. Your character was a few years too young for the setting alongside a power that doesn't suit the setting as it was.

[TheWendil]

@Spike

Quirk-wise, he's fine. Super strength for a shark is iffy but seeing as you don't go in-depth with it, I suppose it's fine. As for his weapon, I'm willing to accept it if you can explain to me what it has to do with his shark theme. Finally, the sample post is fine enough. I know the quality of writing you can and have produced so I'll only say this now; put as much effort as you can when concerning IC posts.

@TheWindel

Ah thank you. Mmm the strength is mostly a growth option. For now he's capable of more than the average person but he's not going to the Olympics or anything. My thinking is most of his training is martial arts stuff. If he started body building with like protein and weights he could eventually get to a notch or two above what is normally possible for humans, but it would take at least a year or two.

Mmm does as for the weapon need to have something to do with his shark thing? Ryan probably isn't the type to go around biting people most of the time so I figured he'd need a weapon. I don't think that Ryan is really the type to adhere to a theme, he's got a love-hate relationship with his sharky side. He needed a weapon and he started looking for them online and saw this Etsy store with a lot of crazy weapons and that's what he spent his tax return on. OOC I just really like the imagery of a dude with a giant pair of scissors that he can kinda transform. Mmm if it's really necessary I dunno maybe I could give him a chainsaw or make the blades serrated or something? That has "teeth." Or like I dunno he could maybe paint some sharks on it?

[TheWendil]

@Spike

The weapon doesn't have to be shark-themed. But it sounds like you just wanted the scissors to be random. Seeing as he's a villain, I suppose this can slip by since he is being chaotic.
