[OOC] My Hero Academia: Raw Potential

[Drake Baku]

Just wondering if this is still accepting?

[vancexentan]

@Silver Carrot sorry forgot to add the mention in my own post I can just edit it in though if you prefer.

[Silver Carrot]

@vancexentan

No, that's fine. And I'll post later if nobody else has. I usually like two post buffers but not if they're gonna hurt the rp.

@Drake Baku

I'm conferring with my co-GM and I'll get back to you. Glad to hear you're interested, though!

[Drake Baku]

I shall be waiting patiently ^^

[vancexentan]

Should I just reply or do you want me to wait for others carrot?

[Silver Carrot]

@vancexentan

It's been two posts since yours so go ahead and post

[Drake Baku]

@Drake Baku

I'm conferring with my co-GM and I'll get back to you. Glad to hear you're interested, though!

@Silver Carrot

As silence has greeted me, one can only assume the answer is a sad one?

[Silver Carrot]

@Drake Baku

Hold on. I'll ping my co-gm again. On here and on Discord.

@Melpaws

[Silver Carrot]

@Drake Baku

Word's back. You're good!

[alexfangtalon]

How good? Only one good? I’m content with continuing my lurking if not.

[Silver Carrot]

@alexfangtalon

Hmmm, considering how quiet it is and how a few people have dropped off the map/straight up never posted...

I give you one yay. You must receive two yays to proceed.

@Melpaws

What say you?

[Drake Baku]

hm... i need to recofirm the timeline events, have to ensure that my char's greatgrandfather could have been a hero XD

EDIT: as Deku's mom is 4th gen quirk user in the family, it should be fine

Appearance:
Brown eyes.
Black blazer with white accents, plain Blue hoodie underneath the blazer, a leather brown belt with a silver buckle and neon yellow sneakers.

Costume:


Name: Blade Shuriken

Hero/Vigilante Name: Giga

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Height: 1.70M

Weight: 65KG

Personality: Blade has a strong sense of justice, bad sense of humor, can be a bit cynical and tends to over think things.
He has a rather high IQ but has never been truly taught to use it.
Blade has a large bit of pressure on him to be the best Hero he can be which in a sense has instilled in him a deep sense of responsivity as well, resulting in some more vigilantly acts to try and build up as much fame and develop his quirk as quick as possible.
Rest will come IC

Background:
Blade's Great Grandfather was a powerful Hero in the old day's, got his wealth and fame under the name "Mega"
However the next in line was born quirk-less and with it the family ended in a bad downwards spiral where.
Blade's father was born with the similar quirk as his grandfather but extremely limited and weak, from 4 powerful ways of using the quirk Mega had to just enough power to spark electrical energy between fingertips.
This little quirk was not enough to help in the now more quirk oriented world and with more bad luck on their side they financially never got to recover.
Which brings us to Blade himself, born with at least the full force of one of the major traits of the bloodlines power, his father and grandfather had their hopes that he could somehow develop enough to truly take on his great grandfathers legacy, that Blade might be able to develop his quirk enough to wield it like Mega did once before.
But finances were a large problem even now and with it they ended up signing Blade up at the cheapest school that had some Hero class they could find, after saving for it and finding a way for Blade to actually live nearby enough, which took a few more years then they liked.

Still the wish for all 3 generations is the same and with it they gathered Mega's old armor, took a loan out in order to adjust it to Blade's build and have it updated a bit as well.

Quirk:
Blade's quirk is a mix between Emitter and Mutant.
All electrical pulses in his body are enhanced and by controlling those like an emitter can he can generate various effects, provided he is like his great grandfather that is.
Currently all Blade can do is manipulate the energy to enhance his physical abilities but with a caught, enhancing his strength to much will tear at his muscles, as such he has to keep a limit on it himself, he can automatically limit these effects by splitting the energy inside his body on more then 1 point such as speed and healing rate, which limits the outer level of both and healing would also prevent damage as well
the healing rate of these pulses is higher then normal humans, able to close wounds and burns quickly, the severity effects the time still but a small paper cut for example is healed in a second, but Blade does have to manually effect this

the mutation part does not really show on his outer form but does have 2 effects, as the electrical pulses are always moving stronger then normal Blade is prone to be statically charged quickly, which can result in painful zaps and damaging electrical devices.
further he is able to sense the pulses in others all the time which tends to acts a bit like a natural lie detector

He can, but is still practicing it, enhance the electrical static build to deliberately deal stronger static shocks on impact.

Other:
Blade's great grandfather was famous and powerful, having not only the same neuro-electrical pulse manipulation as Blade has and able to generate very strong static electrical blasts with it, he could also generate powerful electrical energy from his body and release it like thunderbolts and other long range electrical attacks.
As that he could manipulate the various electrical fields such as magnetic fields allowing him to EMP anything or lift metal objects and even humans in a strong electro magnetic field
It was said that Mega also had enhanced the ability of sensing electrical energy in the area that he had something like an electro magnetic sonar or radar.
in that regard it can be said that the exact quirk in the bloodline is a full powered electro-kinesis stemming from the users own neuro-net
But how far Blade will get is fully unknown.

[Drake Baku]

I am working on the images, i got the costume working but i dont know why the face claim is acting like that and i cant find the same image elsewhere so this...

EDIT: fixed it after finding that where i got the image from, was a fanon of the series i was searching about hahahaha
well knowing that a google app further brought me to the origin and bam ^^

EDIT2: how odd, checked on my phone for replies, noticed thr face claim was not working anymore
opened my lap to check why and try to fix it, it works...

[Melpaws]

@alexfangtalon

Yay from me too. I suppose one more player cannot hurt.

However, after him, I'd draw the line for now and observe the flow for a while.

[Silver Carrot]

@Drake Baku

A few things, after conferring with my co-GM.

1) Please change the name. 'Blade Shuriken' is not a human name.

2) The mutation part of the quirk is unnecessary. Every emitter has modified internal biology.

3) You kinda explain your quirk's limitations like this is a stat-based roleplay. Can you reword it a little clearer?

4) You can still have the Hero great-Grandfather, but being poor being the only reason your character isn't in UA isn't really what we're looking for. His backstory needs to clarify that at present he isn't good enough for U.A. regardless.

5) Please revise the spelling, grammar and formatting errors to make it a little more readable.

@vancexentan

I'm sorry for the wait! I've been stressed out recently. Tomorrow I hope to post.

[alexfangtalon]

@Silver Carrot@Melpaws Got coding stuff I plan on doing but as I'm done with the actual sheet and needing to go wanted to go a head and get it out there for y'all to tell me what needs fixing before I go full on aesthetics.

Katō Emiho

Appearance

Emiho

Costume

Duality

Name:

Katō Emiho

Hero/Vigilante Name

Duality

Gender

Female

Age

16

Height:

5'3" (1.6002 m)

Weight

112 lbs. (50.8 kg)

Personality

As long as she doesn't have to use her quirk extensively, Emiho has a tendency towards showcasing a friendly, caring smile. Due to the nature of her quirk, she does try to avoid situations that would cause any emotion to flare up too much. She isn't exactly shy but she also tends to avoid large groups of people unless she knows a few people in the group. She also has a bad habit of mothering those close to her. This could be because as a child she always stuck extremely close to her mother and anytime she'd play pretend she would always take the mother role. It could also come down to how out of her own siblings as well as cousins she is the oldest by a large margin. Despite the obvious issues that could occur she was often the one who would babysit her siblings and cousins. The first few years of this were a right laughing stock as before she learned to control her quirk better she'd act like the children a bit to much. But it is what lead to her learning how to box up the various emotions.

Where the desire to become a hero originated from could come from a few sources. Her father was a very low ranking hero but he always put his best into it. She also adored watching anime and similar shows revolving around varying types of heroes. She especially liked the ones where the heroes had trouble with their own abilities. It made her feel like she could one day control her own quirk rather than lose herself to it. Bottom line, Emiho has a deep desire to help people and take care of them. She loves to see others smile.

Background:

One would think that with a quirk like Emiho's it would be easy to get into a school like UA. But most don't realize how difficult it is to just keep a handle on the quirk. The sheer fact of it always drawing from other's emotions makes it near impossible to not be a mess in a crisis. Sure, most of the people who showed up for the entrance exam were hero wannabes who were likely excited and ready to show the school what they could do. Emiho was one of them but the moment those around her started panicking the mix of negative and positive emotions kept Emiho from using the actual combat part of her quirk. So, she let go of the emotions, releasing them from the boxes, and the moment she did so she became overwhelmed with panic and hid for the rest of the test.

She was so embarrassed by how useless she was in the test that she couldn't even bring herself to tell her parents how it went. For the next few days, she was a wreck. Emiho had completely neglected to concentrate on her quirk and let her emotions run wild. Her parents were rightfully concerned so they set out on a task to find a hero course for their daughter to attend. Eventually they stumbled upon Matsubara High. The hero course wasn’t exactly grand or that influential but they believed that their daughter had the work ethic to make it anywhere she wanted even if she had to work from the bottom. Emiho didn't seem to care that the school wasn't very famous, she was happy that she would be able to at least have a chance to become a hero.

Quirk:

Long quirk explanation is probably too long

Emiho's quirk is called Emotion Spectrum. It is an emitter class quirk which is a combination of her mother's quirk which caused her to feed off of and emulate the predominant emotions of those around her, and of her father's quirk which caused him to emit different levels of light or darkness based on his own emotions. This combination has bore fruit as Emotion Spectrum which causes Emiho's emotions to change based on those around her. Emiho's emotions are affected by the emotions of those around her. It causes her to emulate what the majority of those within a certain radius around her are feeling. Another piece of the quirk puzzle comes in the form of Emiho being able to emit the stored emotional energy as light or darkness based on the predominant emotion she is intaking. This effect, however, is almost always active to some extent as if it wasn't then she would eventually feel an overload of emotion. However, she can also choose to release the emotions in quick, strong bursts that function similarly to the quirk Navel Laser. It can be destructive but the more she uses an emotion this way the easier it is for the emotion to take control of her.

One thing she has been able to do to counteract how much the quirk affects her own feelings is that she found a way to essentially sort the emotions she draws on into one of two boxes. Positive emotions like happiness, excitement, love, or anticipation; and negative emotions like sorrow, fear, anger, or anxiety. The main issues with doing this though are that she loses a lot of power in her emission of the emotions and it takes a lot of concentration. To counteract the loss of power, the only options she has are to stop focusing on control or to find a place where, the only people within the range of which she draws from, all of the emotions go into only one of the boxes.

Another effect of her quirk is that based on the emotions she is using her hair, eyes, and skin changes color. Dealing with the two boxes the changes are more obvious with the positive emotions causing her hair, eyes, and skin to begin to look more vibrant and colorful. Her hair will become a bright lively purple, her eyes a deep red, and her skin looks full of life. Negative emotions do the opposite. Her hair begins to lose color changing to a ghastly white, her eyes become dark almost like pure blackness, and her skin becomes entirely pale. If she hasn't forced the emotions into the boxes then whichever emotion is being currently used affects her appearance a little less obvious but her hair, eyes, and skin begin to become slightly tinted in the color usually most associated with the particular emotion.

*Side Note - I don't really know if I explained well what I was getting at, but a part of the reasoning behind why she wasn't accepted into UA has to do with her battle between having to choose either a lack of control or a lack of power. She is not very skilled at using her quirk. Just restraining it from overpowering her as long as she focuses on keeping the emotions into the two boxes. Otherwise, she has almost no ability to stop from losing herself in the emotion she uses.

Other:
Apologies if things are kind of confusing. I'm generally not great at explaining things. So, any questions would be welcome as they tend to help me describe better what I'm trying to get at.

@alexfangtalon

I'm not even sure what I could ask to clarify that quirk. I think I might have to see it in action to truly get it. Sorry this is taking so long. Mel hasn't had time to check out your CS properly either.

Also @vancexentan really really really sorry! Tomorrow I'll be back at my own flat, and I'll be able to make a post. I thought I'd be able to get a chance while I'm at my mom's but no such luck. Every evening, my head hasn't been clear enough.

Also also, I plan to skip to day 2 this weekend sometime. Just to let everyone here know.

[Silver Carrot]

@alexfangtalon

Accepted!

[Bloopie]

Can I join?!?!?
I have a ton of villain Oc's I can put in here if that's okay! ^^
