[KoL]

Am I good to go?

@Weird Tales

Yes, you are.

[Weird Tales]

I'm wondering if any of you got the meaning behind Joseph's first and last name

[Weird Tales]

I came up with a new character that isn't as powerful

Comedian

Appearance:

civilian look

costume

Name: Case Williams
Age: 15
Gender: male

Hero/Villain Name: Comedian
Quirk Name: Meme Magic
Quirk Type: Emitter
Quirk Description:Case can create mental projections from his brain in the form of illusions that come with both sight and sound. These illusions have no physical form and can range from looking like animate to inanimate objects that can move like they are alive. He can also create illusions that can look like elements such as fire and water. Creating big illusions can be a tax on his body and he can only maintain an illusion for about 4 minutes before it causes a bad headache. Three illusions at once are his max and anything larger than ten feet he can only do one of at a time and the max size of an illusion is that of a Articulated Locomotive. This quirk is mainly used to distract enemies.

Inventory & Possessions: he carriers two nightsticks for combat

Sample Post:
"It's meme time!" Case said as he conjured up an illusion of a floating monkey head with a smile on its face appeared. People around him were gazing up at the illusion and pointed in astonishment.

"Yes, yes I know. How is such a thing possible, it's my little magic trick. Meme Magic trick to be more exact. Now let's get on with the show" he said and the monkey head disappeared. Then a man in a winter coat appeared holding a gun and spoke in a thick accent

"Nikolai shall shoot up these capitalist pigs for the glory of the motherland" and immediately began to point the gun at the crowd. Several people screamed and ran, but when the man pulled the trigger his gun exploded and like a cartoon the man's top half was covered in soot.

"Oops looks like black is the new red Niky boy" Case said and then the man disappeared, there was a slew of laughter.

"Thank you ladies and gentlemen. I will also like to announce that I am going to U.J. academy to train in the arts of heroism. I will try to bring some joy to the gloomy hero business. Every profession needs a comedian is what I always say" he said to the crowd and several people clapped their hands.

"I'm super excited to become the word's greatest comedian and superhero, I'll remember my time here entertaining you people."

"Good riddance" one civilian shouted.

"It's not nice to say such mean things" and with those words a floating mouth appeared next to the rude civilian and began stuck it's tongue out at the man, making spitting sounds.

"Well I'm off then, wish me luck good people" he said with a wave and headed off to start his new life as a hero in training.

[Weird Tales]

I'd love to play him since he's a funny character

[KoL]

@Weird Tales

Well, if you want to, I suppose this one is pretty alright. Just wait for the others' opinion.

Edit: Actually, wait a bit I'll look into this with more detail later/tomorrow. Just to be sure I don't miss anything again.

[Weird Tales]

third time's the charm. Here's a detective character

Mr. O

Appearance:

look

costume

Johnathon's costume is black trench coat with a black fedora and black pants as well as black leather shoes.

Name: Johnathon
Age: 15
Gender: male

Hero/Villain Name: Mr. O
Quirk Name: Clue Finder
Quirk Type: Emitter
Quirk Description: Johnathon's quirk allows him to pick up on the smallest details of an object or area around him and thus aiding him in detective work. This can range from noticing tiny scratches on wood to seeing the flaws in the design of an image. This power is sight based and because of its nature Jonathon has a hard time focusing on one task when his eyes are drawn to so many details in his surroundings. This can cause him to become distracted and makes him multitask. It also makes being in large crowds disorientating and forces him to concentrate on keeping his senses from wandering.

Inventory & Possessions: He has two nightsticks a taser and a taser gun as his weapons. He also has a detective kit, which comes with a notepad and magnifying glass and fingerprint powder as well as disposable latex gloves.

Sample Post: John's eyes looked down upon the dead cat with a bit of sadness in them. He had been asked by a younger girl to help her find her lost cat and even though he suspected the worst after she explained to him that her pet had been missing for over two weeks, he took up the case.

He had found several clues to the cat's disappearance thanks to questions he had asked the girl and retracing possible steps that the cat may have taken. His quirk had been rather helpful and allowed him to find the missing cat's torn collar on the ground and from there he searched the area, which lead him to the grizzly sight.

The cat had become the victim of a bigger animal, a dog from the looks of the bite marks to the torn neck. There chunks of flesh ripped out from the body.

"A sad and gruesome ending for a pet, that little girl is not going to take this easily" he said to himself. He decided to get a box to put the dead animal in. When he had the box, Johnathon put on a pair of latex gloves and carefully placed the dead cat inside it and covered the top.

He walked back to the little girls house and while he walked, Johnathon wondered how he would be able to break the news to her. That was the hard thing about detective business, a good chunk of the time was spent bringing bad news to clients.

When he arrived at the girl's house, he rang the doorbell and was somewhat relieved when the girl's father answered the door.

"Hello sir. I was able to find Sally's cat. Unfortunately it looks like something got to her before I did. She's in the box. I'm sorry for your daughters loss" Johnathan explained and Sally's father nodded solemnly.

"Thanks John. We're all thankful that you at least were able to find out what happened to her. Here's your reward." And with those words the man gave John a 50 dollar bill.

"Thank you sir" John said tipping his hat in thanks and shaking his hand. Without any further words, John left the house behind and headed back to his home for supper. He was glad to have solved at least one more case before going to U.J. Academy for heroes. He was interested in attending the school because it would offer the best kind of training and he would have so much more resources at his disposal to really kick off a career as an investigator as well as some hero work.

"No more missing pets and stolen bicycles, I'll be a superb detective with the training and resources from the academy as well as the connections. Mr. O is about to take a big step in life" John said to himself as he came back to his house and went inside for dinner.

@Weird Tales

Erm, nope.

Like I said on the Discord, at this point I think that you really doesn't have what it takes to be in this RP since you can't get a grip of what a Quirk even is or not.

[SimpleWriter]

That decision is backed up by all GMs after a discussion. I'll add a part in the OOC that says people need to be familiar with MHA before joining, as in having watched the anime or read the actual Manga.

Characters concepts are no good and would not fit the RP. We're going to have to refuse you for this one.

[Weird Tales]

Fine. Don't really care eitherway. I'll find some rp that will take my characters

[TheWendil]

As a notice to everyone else. Just as @SimpleWriter has mentioned; if you're not here to RP as an MHA character, don't join an MHA RP.

Repulsa Libre

Appearance:

Normal appearance

Gabriella Gonzales is a large young woman, easily reaching 6'2" in height, with a well-developed musculature gained by eating healthy and working out every other day. Her biceps are around 9 inches thick, her thighs surpassing a foot, and her six abs are as well defined as can be. She tries to make sure her body fat doesn't get too low, however, so she does have a small amount of it that can pass as breasts, with majority of it taking up glute duty. Being of Mexican descent, her skin has a notable milk coffee-like hue, matched closely by her long strands of wavy brown hair, which reach her upper back, and completed with her eyes which shine enthusiastically in a healthy chestnut hue.

Her typical attire is basic - she's usually found wearing some type of workout clothing, with the amount of sweat soaked into it varying by the time of day. Usually this involves either sweat pants or yoga pants, often very basic shades like black or grey, and a tank top which might be pink or green with sports bra underneath. As much as she loves being showy, she doesn't typically take the time to dress up beyond making her hair look decent since it would cut into either workout time or anime time.

Hero Costume

Inspired by her family's history in wrestling, Gabriella designed her costume to invoke the spirit of the luchador, while also being conducive to the use of her quirk which needs her skin to be exposed to function. Covering her face is a stylish cowl, coloured green with yellow trim around the edges and eyeholes, and adorned with a pair of large, white feathers which raise upward out of her forehead, curling backwards about a foot above her. It leaves the lower part of her face exposed, meaning her cheeks and her chin. The cowl allows her long brown hair to flow down her back. Around her modest chest she wears a backless, sleeveless, midriff-exposing...piece of fabric, its colour matching the green and yellow-accented mask, with a white floral pattern breaking up the green base. Her lower body is covered by a pair of small green hotpants, held up by a white studded belt, leaving her legs bare. She wears a pair of loose-fitting sandals she can kick off quickly.

The outfit obviously shows off lots of skin, which is both helpful for her quirk and great for intimidation given her impressively muscular form. Said coffee-toned skin is not wasted space when it comes to fashion, however - it is patterned with body paint coloured a bright, eye-catching yellow. Her arms and legs have curving, circular patterns, her back has an illustration of a crested caracara with its wings spread and its beak turned toward her right side, and her abdomen has a set of curved lines which angle away from her navel.

Name: Gabriella Gonzalez
Age: 17
Gender: Female

Hero Name: Repulsa Libre
Quirk Name: Repulsion
Quirk Type: Emitter
Quirk Description:

Repulsion allows Repulsa Libre to repel any physical matter that comes into contact with her bare skin away from her body. She can control the magnitude of the force applied to the matter, but not the direction, which will always be perpendicular to the surface of the body part it was in contact with. Because the matter must come in contact with her bare skin, it doesn't work if something touches her through her clothes or her costume. Thanks to this quirk, she has a great advantage in close quarters phtsical confrontations, as she is able to simply repel any conventional attempt to harm her away. This works especially well against blades, which tend to cut through her clothes and bring themselves in contact with her skin by design. Her quirk can also be used offensively, repelling villain's bodies away from her body as she strikes them, increasing the force she hits them with. This combined with her already well-developed musculature means she can knock the average person out with a single well-placed blow. She can also repel herself off of objects that have a great amount of intertia.

Her ability to use her quirk is limited by Newton's Third Law; every time she repels something away, there is an equal force exerted on the insides of her own body. This is a unique and subtle type of force generated by her quirk which acts upon her body in specific ways: her muscles insulate her body against the force, her nervous system is the most vulnerable to it, her organs are also vulnerable to it but less so than her nerves, and her bones nullify it. The magnitude of the force generated per use of her quirk is directly proportional to the mass of the object she repels, with extra force added depending on how much velocity the object had before she repelled it (which can be lessesed by angling her body to avoid repelling the object in the exact opposite direction it was travelling in). To illustrate its effects on her with examples:

• Repelling inert air molecules around her body is effortless.
• Repelling herself off a wall once won't affect her much, but bouncing herself around a room like a rubber ball would probably make her whole body numb after a minute (along with being very sick to her stomach)
• Repelling a punch from someone with similar muscle mass as her would tingle for a moment. Repelling two or three more similar punches using the same body part will likely make her lose feeling in that part. Any more than that would temporarily paralyze that part of her body due to her nervous system not carrying the signals from her brain to that part properly. She would need to go between a half and a full hour without repelling anything using that body part in order to be able to move it again, though it would not regain feeling until 6 hours had passed
• Repelling a car thrown at her would cause her to lose the ability to use both her arms for between a half and a full hour, similar to the above example
• Repelling a moving pickup truck would instantly drain all of her stamina and overwhelm her nervous system and put her in a vegetative state for up to a week, requiring her to need IV treatment to avoid starving to death
• Repelling herself off the ground to save herself from a seven-storie drop would likely do the same as the above example
• Repelling a falling building, even just a two-storie house, would be impossible - she would not have enough physical stamina to generate enough repulsive force to change its direction. At most she might be able to repel a section of the wall and end up inside the building (sacrificing limb movement in the process), but that would be a last resort if simply repelling herself and potential victims away from the danger zone is not an option
• Repelling herself off the ground after a drop of any more than seven stories would be impossible - she would not have enough physical stamina to generate enough repulsive force to oppose her own velocity. She would not escape an 8 storie fall without injury even if she used her quirk, and any greater height would almost certainly be fatal

Along with this limitation, repelling matter also takes physical effort, which is dictated by the magnitude of the repulsive force she applies. Objects with more mass/more inertia take a greater magnitude of force in order to move them, though loss of stamina is not as debilitating as loss of nervous system functions. This also means there is a limit to the amount of force her quirk can generate, as illustrated in the lattermost examples above. Finally, Repulsion is inneffective against any form of matter that does not have mass, which includes the likes of fire, electricity, and light. Since she can only use the ability one burst at a time, she is also not able to repel matter in states other than solid very effectively, making her weak against water or air currents, as well as toxic gas.

Inventory: As Repulsa Libre, her costume doesn't give her a lot of storage space, so she doesn't have any tools she relies on during her work. As Gabriella, however, she does have one important item that helps with her hero work: a portable changing room. A cloth between two metal rings with a telescopic pole connecting them. The curtain is littered with small gaps., and when the device is activated, it covers her body from the neck-down, allowing her to remove her clothing entirely. Once she has done so, the curtain is then pulled tight around her body, and the telescopic pole begins to rotate around the rings it is connected to, nozzles in its length spraying yellow body paint at the curtain, the gaps in which act as a stencil for the patterns on Repulsa Libre's body. After the paint is applied, the curtain is loosened, allowing her to put on the rest of her costume.

Altogether, it's a changing room in appearance only, with it's main purpose being to apply the paint rather than to hide her as she changes. As a student, there aren't any times when she would need to change quickly in public, after all. The paint itself is also a specially made support item, created to be thin enough to not interfere with her quirk.

Sample Post

"Why not go with just "Repulsa"?" one of her classmates queried.

"Yeah, it's shorter and rolls of the tongue easier," added another.

"I can't deny these things," Gabriella conceded, nodding her head in agreement with her classmates as her accented contralto voice jingled across the room. Since it was the day when they picked out their permanent "Hero Names", she expected she'd receive some feedback along those lines. Yet, she could also not simply take their advice. She had already thought about it long and hard.

"But I cannot take this advice. It does not hold the same meaning to me, and it will not convey that meaning to my fellows." Gabriella's eyes scanned the room she stood at the head of, making eye contact with as many of the other students as she could. "People, they hear the name "Repulsa", maybe they think, "Is catchy, good name, I will remember it", and then it is done. No more thought. But, people hear the name "Rrrepulsa Libre", it piques interest. "What does "libre" mean? Is it Spanish? Oh, luchadores use that sometimes.""

Getting into the swing of her speech, which admittedly she had practiced many times in her head in anticipation for having to convince everyone that spectacle was sometimes worth the inconvenience, she continued. "It makes them think, it makes them wonder. And if they are perhaps a fan, maybe it makes them study up! "I know, I'll look up something about luchadores so I can impress Repulsa Libre if I meet her," says to him or herself Timothy or Janet. They are educated about Latino culture, even if only a little! Victory for Repulsa Libre! Victory for Mexicanos! Victory for America!"

Gabrielle threw her powerful, muscular arms upward in celebration, the wide grin on her face gleaming in the fluorescents of the classroom. "And, that's only for those who know nothing of Mexican culture. For those of Mexican descent living here in America, they hear "Rrrrepulsa Libre", it is a familiar thing. It says to them, "you are not alone"! It says "be proud of your heritage, and show it to the world"! So we have Americans teaching themselves about Mexico, and Mexicans teaching Americans about Mexico. It is great victory for all to have more education, yes? And who to thank for this victory? Yes, it is Rrrrrepulsa Libre!"

Gabriella, finished with her speech and confident that any who were unsure had been sufficiently swayed by her words, turned her back to her classmates and lifted her arms up. She flexed the muscle within her biceps, forearms, and upper back , causing the muscle to ripple her flesh and the tight-fitting fabric of het green tank top. After holding the pose for a few seconds, she turned to face the class once more and scanned their reactions. Silence, several gaping mouths, some looking as if they expected her to do everything she just did. Yes, a splendid performance. Hearing no objections, she gave a slight bow and headed back to her seat at the back of the class (she would rather be at the front but there was an issue in the first week where the students behind her couldn't see the whiteboard).

Now that it was settled, she looked forward to wearing the name Repulsa Libre. Even if it was not a terribly creative name by true luchador standards, it was enough that it conveyed its inspirations to the masses as efficiently as possible. It was a name that would help cement her as the most popular Latina hero. The hero would would inspire Latin Americans, perhaps even all immigrant peoples, to embrace their ethnic background regardless of whether they are made fun of or discriminated against for it, and make them feel truly at home in their home regardless of the hardships they face. Inspire them to use their powers to help even those who would hinder them, and to teach rather than take revenge on the ignorant.

Even simply sitting at her desk as the next student demonstrated their choice of hero name, she could not stop grinning from ear to ear as she imagined it.

This one's still a WIP but I'd gladly take feedback on what I have so far. Hello to everyone I didn't meet in the Discord by the way. I accidentally went there first. ^^; Didn't know it was for people already accepted into the RP.

EDIT: Okay, everything is done save for the sample post. I was told it would be fine if I waited to write the sample until everything else had been approved and/or fixed first. I should be ready for feedback on the whole thing now.

EDIT 2: Okay, the entire CS is complete! I, uhh...broke the hiders while trying to add in my own colours like everyone else was doing, but I don't have any pictures so hopefully it's not an issue. I'd love some help fixing it if anyone can see where I went wrong. ^^;

EDIT 3: Fixed the hiders. Thanks @KaijuBaragon

@Nyahahameha

She's fine by me. Await the others' opinion.

[KoL]

@Nyahahameha
I suppose she's ok now. Just way for @SimpleWriter's word.

[SimpleWriter]

@Nyahahameha Also Fine ! Post up in the Character Tab and I'll update it.

[o3o]

I'm assuming applications are still welcomed, but not sure if the ones for villains is still closed?

[KoL]

I'm assuming applications are still welcomed, but not sure if the ones for villains is still closed?

@o3o

Indeed, we are still accepting people but villain posts are full for the time being. If you want to join as a hero student, we are more than glad to have you.

[Nyahahameha]

Lol kinda' feels like Abigail is criticising us as writers. XD
