[OOC] My Hero Academia: Another Story

[SimpleWriter]

@Spike I'll say the same thing as Windel about efforts. x) Quality over Quantity, as I said in the first OOC post, so I don't look at size much. Anyway, moving on.

Super Strength was a problem for me, but you seem to have edited it and now it's minor. So it's okay.

As for the weapon, I personally don't need to know where it came from or how he got it to eventually accept it, but it's true that it seems a bit random with he general theme. If he have a love-hate relationship with his Shark theme, you might want to write that down somewhere on his sheet. P.S; For a Shark, I would have imagined a Hammer as Weapon. Or a Saw. Or a Chainsaw. Because Hammerheads and Sawsharks. i know you wanted the Scissor theme, and I don't mind that you keep it if you can find a way to make the Scissors more relevant to the character.

@SimpleWriter

Ahh so can I keep it? A chainsaw weapon might be cool but it's really loud and honestly the scissors seem really rad.

I hope this cs is more acceptable

Megaman

Appearance: His costume is a blue and red jumpsuit with a yellow sun symbol at the center. He also wears a white cape.

Name: Joseph Siegel
Age: 15
Gender: male

Hero/Villain Name: Megaman
Quirk Name: Solar Power
Quirk Type: Emitter
Quirk Description: Joseph's body absorbs sunlight, which strengthens his muscles and toughens his skins granting his body superhuman strength and superhuman durability. At the current state of his development he is strong enough to punch through iron and lift up to 1 tons, but he still has a huge amount of room to grow his powers. His superhuman muscles also grant him the ability to jump to the tops of tall buildings and travel at high speeds through the use of quick long jumps. While his solar energy reserves can continue to rise as he gets older, using his powers will drain his solar energy reserves and when his reserves become depleted his powers will slowly fade making him as vulnerable a normal human.

Inventory & Possessions: He carriers a leather satchel with a few tools and a notebook in case he needed to write something down.

Sample Post: Joseph bent down on one knee to give chicken feed to his family's chickens and the birds pushed past one another in excitement to get at their meal.

"Don't worry there's another for all of you" he said with a chuckle. Once he was done feeding the chickens he moved on to the pigs. Thanks to his superhuman strength he was able to lift a massive bucket of sloop, which he poured into the feeders. He heard the pigs give happy squeals and smiled. After that he took care of the horses and then went about picking up large haystacks.

After he set down the stacks of hay Joseph then collected firewood and brought it into his family's house. Growing up on a farm had its benefits, he learned to work hard and use his abilities with a purpose. Even so Joseph still felt that he wanted to use his powers for something more, which was why he had decided to go the U.J. academy and learn how become a hero.

"Are you finished with your choirs?" he heard his mother ask him as he put down the firewood by the fireplace.

"Yes ma" Joseph said with a smile.

"Thank you" she said to him and Joseph went upstairs to his room to grab his things and head into town one last time before he had to leave for the U.J. academy in thew near future.

"Mom, dad I'm headed into town" he told his parents as he headed back downstairs and walked to the door.

"Have a good trip son" his dad called to him.

"I'll be back before dinner pa" he said as he headed outside and after closing the door behind him he then walked down the pathway that lead to the road. Once he took several steps down the path Joseph leaped high into the air using his superhuman legs to propel himself through the air at incredible speeds. The distance he covered grew with every skip and a hop and the feeling that came with it was exhilarating.

After what seemed like a few minutes he came to the down and landed with a loud thud on the outskirt of the town kicking up a lot dirt. When he came into the town several people waved at him and greeted him with friendly smiles. It was a small town, but people knew each other and looked out for one another.

"What brings you here today?" one person asked him.

"I'm just here to pick up somethings and say goodbye before I'm off to school"

"I heard about you going away to school to learn how to be a hero with those powers of yours."

"Yep, I'm going to miss this place while I'm gone. I hear the school is in a city, which will look so unlike here"

"The city? Damn I hope you don't lose your roots while there. Never really liked them city folks and their fast lifestyle."

"I know what you mean. Don't worry I'll be back eventually and I'll be a hero that helps people" Joseph replied and then went about town looking at shops and talking with the townsfolk and starting friendly conversations. He was going to miss this place.

Sample post is missing. Coming up with a good idea to wow you all.

Turbine

Appearance:

Regular

Hero Costume

Name:
Hideyoshi Sawada

Age:
16

Gender:
Male

Hero/Villain Name:
Turbine

Quirk Name:
Turbine

Quirk Type: Emitter

Quirk Description:
A rather difficult Quirk to classify, Turbine's power allows Hideyoshi's body to function like a wind turbine of sorts; he can freely convert wind that strikes him into electricity. This electricity is stored throughout his body, and at his command he can release and attack with it. Initially, this proved difficult to control, and maneuvers such as shaping and directing it were beyond him; as such, whenever he activated his Quirk and ordered the stored lightning to be released, Hideyoshi would discharge it at a massive rate, filling the whole area around him and threatening to destroy it all and hurt those in the direct vicinity. With proper training, however, Hideyoshi has developed his ability further, to the point that he can freely discharge his electricity from any part of his body that he wishes, as well as controlling the exact amount and intensity. It is most commonly used to enhance his physical blows, as this requires the least amount of output, but he can also fire off waves of electricity to hit far-off opponents. Once his lightning has been discharged and separated from his being, Hideyoshi loses any control over it. It will simply continue to perform the function he left it with unless stopped, destroyed, or taken control of by another.

When normally hit by wind, Hideyoshi's body converts it into electricity and stores it by default. As a result, long periods of non-use allows him to stockpile a great amount of lightning to use as the moment dictates. However, the amount converted by his Quirk is no massive amount, and it is quite possible for him to run out in battle. When in this state, the situation becomes far more dangerous for him, as even a massive gust of wind will not be sufficient to sustain him for a long-term fight. Thus, the longer a battle drags out, the more difficulty Hideyoshi will have. While he has managed to compensate by learning how to carefully budget the amount of electricity use, situations can still turn against his favor depending on the opponent.

Inventory & Possessions:
He only carries a pair of shades that his uncle used to own and a Hawk necklace given to him by his mother.

@Spike
I think your new idea is better now. He's ok with me. Just remember that swimming with pockets full of metal isn't likely the best of ideas if he ever tries to go in the water wearing that costume.

@Weird Tales
Tone down that super strength to something in the maximum range of a few hundreds of kilograms (500) or so to around 1 metric ton (1000kg) and he'll be acceptable. 50 tons is way way too much for MHA.

As a reference, this would still put you a around, if not higher in the super strength scale than Satou (the Sugar Rush guy).

[Weird Tales]

@KoL changed it to 1 ton

[KoL]

@KoL changed it to 1 ton

@Weird Tales

Thanks. Just one more thing, then. How long do his energy reserves last?

[TheWendil]

@Spike

Scissors are fine by me as long as you remember he'll be in water thanks to his Quirk. Wait for @SimpleWriter's verdict.

@Kal-El

Would it make more sense to say he learns to freely discharge his electricity and control the amount and intensity via USJ? Otherwise, what would be other ways his Quirk could grow and develop during his time in school?

@Weird Tales

His Quirk looks fine enough for me so wait for @KoL's questions to be answered. Your Sample Post also has a few running grammatical mistakes so keep this in mind when posting IC.

[KoL]

@Kal-El

Also, bear in mind that, since your quirk isn't to control the electricity itself, just produce and release it, regardless of the way you answer @TheWindel's Windel's question, your quirk will be subject to more or less the same flaws as Kaminari's quirk.

You can't really aim a discharge of electricity, it'll simply follow the fastest path to the ground and spread evenly if all paths are similar. Unless you get something like the equipment he got for the provisional license, any large discharges will end up being AoE attacks that are as likely to fry your allies/innocents as well as any target you may intend them to hit.

Remember, Quirks usually don't come with the required secondary superpowers that are common in comic books. They are really... quirky. Learning to work with whatever you've got is a huge part of MHA's theme after all.

PS: It also should be a mutation quirk, not an emitter type. Since the lightning is a secondary effect of physical mutations.

PS II: I actually don't see any turbines on the images you've used and you didn't mention anything in a separated description either. How does he work like a turbine if he has no turbines on his body at all?

I frankly expected something more like this:

If you want to make your description match your function.

[TheWendil]

@Kal-El

For some reason, I pictured the turbines to be concealed under all his clothes, like gills to a fish. Is this true? If so, it would explain the lack of massive turbines all over his body.

[KoL]

@TheWindel

If that's so, they should be added to the character's description. Either way, keep in mind that if they are concealed, they won't get any wind, thus will be useless for power generation.

[SimpleWriter]

@Kal-El Power is Ok with me, although I also agree that the Quirk feels more like Mutation than Emitter. The physical alterations don't need to be major. Something like Iida's engines can work fine, but I,d expect some fort of Turbines or something somewhere on his body.

@Weird Tales Accepted for me as well. Watch the mistakes, though. Take it from someone who also makes a bit too much. ^^''

@Spike Accepted, too. Watch the rust. :3

@KoL

Ah, thank you. Yeah the jacket gets in the way of his gills anyways.

@Spike

@TheWindel

Mmm that's part of why I like having them able to split. Mmm the big form is probably too heavy but I think he could bring one of the halves with him if he really needed too. Mmm dunno how much swimming he'll do, I've been told Bay Area water is kinda gross but that's mostly hearsay.

@Spike Accepted, too. Watch the rust. :3

@SimpleWriter

Mmm you're the best~ Mmm I'll write a starter.

1. Well discharging it for punches and kickes is the primary reason for the whole quirk. Be honestly worthless without it. I can take out using it for far range attacks tho. Discharging in an explosive manner makes sense as in loss of

2. Never had the idea for him having an actual turbine on his body. Just another way his body processes air. As said power wouldnt work with an actual turbine on his body cause clothes.

3. Idk if im okay with Kaminari weakness of short circuiting the brain. Cause well powers arent the same technically. Prefer the weakness I placed.

[Weird Tales]

In battle I would say about an hour

I changed his name to Megaman

@Kal-El

1. If the electricity is the main part (I don't mean in the OOC but rather in the IC sense) of the quirk than you should say so. The way you described him is as a turbine that generates electricity to discharge.

2. Then don't describe him as a turbine when he isn't one! Description of what a Quirk is or not is fundamental in MHA.

3. I didn't mean frying his brain. Unless you didn't read my reply where I stated what kind of disadvantage I was talking about. If his electricity is the fire and forget type it'll behave like Kaminari's electricity does (i.e.: kinda close but not really like real electricity). You don't have control over where it goes after you discharge. You can't aim. It's an AoE effect unless you get a Hero gear to solve that.

I don't see why it would be worthless, but I get that you wanted kind of a melee hero that strikes with Lightning enhanced attacks. However, simply having electricity in your fists or kicks don't make them stronger, it take makes them a taser. If by "enhance" you meant exactly that, then no issue. If you also meant to upgrade the strength of, then the explanation of the Quirk is lacking. Regardless, it makes more sense if he learns to control it rather than start controlling it.

2. Never had the idea for him having an actual turbine on his body. Just another way his body processes air. As said power wouldnt work with an actual turbine on his body cause clothes.

If his body process air, then it's a mutation within a regular human body, agree? Because no one else can. Therefore, his Quirk is a Mutation type. If it was an emitter, he's just spew out electricity. Since it's a Mutation, there need to be an explanation as to how to body does it if he has no actual an easily identifiable way to show it. Noxious, the villain's leader, has Poisonous skin - although I didn't put it on the sheet, there's a biological reason for it. See what I mean? It's lacking in explanation. I need to know how it process the air, or at least how it transforms it into electricity.

3. Idk if im okay with Kaminari weakness of short circuiting the brain. Cause well powers arent the same technically. Prefer the weakness I placed.

It was an example from KoL.

Although I also think his drawback is too little to what potential he would have. Empowered melee attack, powerful AoE, Ranged attack versus limited energy. You go on about long lasting battles, but in MHA battles tend to be quite short compared to other stories of the same type. I'm ready to accept it, maybe, but under a watchful eye.

[Weird Tales]

Am I good to go?

[Weird Tales]

Just to clarify, it is his cells that are absorbing the solar energy and giving him his strength.
