U.A. Updates!
Things will be added as IC and OOC events happen!
@Aquaknight So little me was wondering if he could possibly fit into the RP based on one of his favourite animes of all time.
A MHA rp! Please tell me this is still accepting!
Subbed. I'd totally be interested!
@Aquaknight
Would you class something like Tokoyami's Dark Shadow as a Transformation or Mutation type quirk or a combination of both? Because his body is always altered but the quirk isn't always active.
Very much incredibly interested! I even have several ideas I am currently running through; I can't decide on one! D: So to get the ball rolling on discussion about characters; here are the ones I am juggling between making..
Sonic
Quirk: Sound wave manipulation. Able to influence the flow and magnitude of sound waves.
Reference Image: https://imgur.com/XmxeR0y
Notes: She is actually deaf, but because of her quirk she is able to actually see sound as a wave with designated colors. Because of this she has actually learned to understand the flow of sound waves and can hold conversations without anyone knowing, simply by deciphering the sound waves emitting from people as they speak.
Flux
Quirk: Fluctuating genetic coding. Flux actually has no true quirk to rely on. On a random basis his body slowly changes and develops quirks every few days at random. One day he could hold extreme strength and the next he could be very physically weak but able to throw out blasts of energy. Flux never knows what will come next or when. But with his quirk comes a high level of intuition; able to decipher through instinct how to manifest his new quirk, though it takes time to become proficient. The longest Flux has had any one quirk was a full week, the shortest time with a quirk was 3 hours. Through deductive reasoning Flux has come to the idea that the stronger the quirk is the shorter time he has with it.

Notes: Though Flux's quirk mostly revolves around quirks, on rare occasion he has changed into the opposite gender or an alien form. It's mildly rare but it has happened.
Notes 2: This character is very complicated and will need a lot of explaining and tuning to keep fair. Mostly thinking of keeping close contact OOC with GM to discuss what his next quirk will be and the like.
Beast
Quirk: Beast transformation. Beast is able to transform himself into various animals, often larger than their counterpart and white with crystal blue eyes. Often he relies on his wolf form.

Spark
Quirk: Living Lightning. Spark quite literally has electricity running through her veins. Because of this she is incredibly fast and reactive. Through her quick motions she can generate more electricity and fire lightning with varying strengths.

Notes: Spark has to drink a special liquid to keep herself awake; more important than food and water. Her quirk is very hard on her body and the liquid helps regulate everything and keeps her from burning out.
Zombie
Quirk: Improved physique and regeneration. Though by no means can Zombie tear a building from its foundation or beat spark in a foot race but she is certainly faster and stronger than your average human, maybe even bear. But her true strengths are in her regeneration. Zombie can survive most any damage inflicted on her; to an extent. Though she is vulnerable to fatigue. Her regeneration takes a toll on her stamina and the more damage she takes begins to take longer to regenerate and will wear on her, making her weaker and more sluggish until she can recuperate.

Sparkles
Quirk: Light manipulation, absorption, and emission. Sparkles is able to bend and manipulate rays of light in many different ways. Often condensing light into solid forms she can control. Sparkles quirk is often mistaken for shadow manipulation as her creations are always black as night though that is simply from the light being condensed and held in one area, letting no light out around its form which makes it appear black. She can also use those forms she makes and release all that light suddenly outwardly in various directions like a super charged flash bang; or focus that burst in a direction to make a super hot beam of light. Alternately she can focus light from her hand that becomes a sort of laser that can cut through metal at a close range.

Notes: Sparkles can actually change the color, at least the appearance, of her hair and eyes by altering the light that gets reflect back off those surfaces to give off different colors.
Notes 2: Sparkles has a hail Mary ultimate move in her arsenal. She has only ever been able to maintain it for 3 minutes at full strength but it goes as follows: Condensing light around her body she gives herself a type of power suit. Improving her speed and strength significantly. Her body appears as twisting light and shadows with various sparkles of light, hence her name, that look like the galaxy within a void.

My first thought for a quirk was something along these lines:
Quirk Name: Guardian Angel
Quirk Type: Transformer
Quirk Basics: A sentient angelic being exists as a permanent companion to <NAME>, existing for the most part as a visible halo of light above <NAME>'s head. This angel can speak directly into <NAME>'s mind to warn him of approaching dangers and the like while in this form. In fights, <NAME> can take on some semblance of the angel, granting them physical changes and a variety of angelic powers, while at the same time giving up part of their agency to the entity itself.
Quirk Strengths:
- <NAME>'s ability to pick and choose how much of the angelic form to take on allows them to tailor their powers specifically to each engagement to avoid tiring themselves out by taking on powers they don't need. The primary powers he can call forth are: Angel's Wings (a pair of feathered wings able to carry up to 300kg total in flight without serious strain), Angelic Senses (Can detect lies, increased reflexes, improved sight, smell, and taste), Angelic Physique (increases physical stamina, pain endurance, and physical strength by a great deal), Angelic Arsenal (Can call a flaming sword, bow, and/or whip out of thin air. Can only be touched without harm by <NAME>)
- <NAME> can call forth limited miracles, such as healing others, casting out individuals who are possessing others, or even in the direst need raising people from the dead
- Even when completely exhausted, the angel will never need to sleep, and always retains some level of its divine senses, making it extremely difficult to sneak up on or surprise <NAME>, given the constantly watching guardian looking out for them
Quirk Weaknesses:
- Total Possession can last for only up to three minutes before the angel is completely exhausted, and must return to its halo form to rest until the next sunrise (God's First Light being what gives it power). If the angel is not able to absorb the rays of the dawn, it will remain exhausted until it is next able to see the sun (time is no longer relevant at that point). Depending on how much of the angel's power <NAME> is drawing on, the partial possession can last up to 2 hours for only one power, with each additional power drastically reducing the amount of time before the angel exhausts itself.
- The angel's miracles can never directly affect <NAME>. He can never directly heal himself, only others around him. Additionally, miracles will cause the angel to become exhausted for a proportional amount of time, with major miracles potentially taking days to weeks for the angel to become strong enough to manifest itself again.
- The more of the angel <NAME> takes on, the less control he has over himself, on a slowly escalating scale which ends when he fully takes on a Total Possession, where their roles reverse, and <NAME> is simply an adviser rather than fully in control. This may lead to the angel doing things that <NAME> would not wish to do, but the angel will always work toward what it believes to be his interests, and the Total Possession can be stopped at any time, at the cost of exhausting both parties significantly. The angel can choose to take full control voluntarily, but if it does so it can only be as a Total Possession, and the angel can only keep it maintained for 30s before it becomes exhausted.
Quirk Techniques:
- Total Angelic Possession: The full power of the angel is unleashed, taking on its full form as a searingly bright figure of light with flaming weapons and a terrible visage. Any and all powers are available for use for the full duration of this ability, though no matter how hard the fight is, this form can only last for three minutes, after which the angel is completely spent and retreats to its halo, with <NAME> no longer able to call on any of its power.
- Angelic Visage: Light spears out from every surface of <NAME>, making them appear larger than life. Foes who look at <NAME>'s face during this time are struck with a deep terror which sears them to their very soul. Friends and bystanders who look upon <NAME>'s face feel calmed and rejuvenated simply by looking at him, though there is no physical benefit or harm that comes to any individual who looks (other than retinal damage for anyone stupid enough to stare at <NAME> for too long
- Heaven's Fury: Drawing their hands together, <NAME> can draw on the fury of the heavens, manifesting itself as either a cone of white-hot flames or a piercing beam of white light capable of piercing through most objects
I'm not sure on what power level you expect for these characters, so this might be a little much? Please let me know your thoughts and I can tweak and modify this as needed!
This looks good, I love the amount of thought put into it so far too.
Btw what's the horse looking thing in the background of the picture?
I'm certainly interested in this, can I grab a spot?! :P I'll start working on my CS right away!
<Snipped quote by Aquaknight>
Definitely still interested on my end, and appreciate the concern you show for such things as well. :)
Sign me up! I shall have a list of quirk ideas shortly to work through! XD
Here's some brief ideas I've been working on for quirks, still haven't decided which one I'm going to use yet though...
Open Sesame: User can create two portals at a time. Stepping into one portal will instantly shift them to the other portal opened. The user can only open portals in his line of sight. User can open one portal, and store anything that is put into it for a limited period of time, he cannot open a separate portal to store more things inside if he's already storing something in one portal. He can only open a second portal to release what's inside, and regain his full abilities.
Can't See Me: User possesses a third eye that is always open. When the third eye looks at a person, that person will be unable to notice that the user exists, but only while the person is in the user's line of sight. It's prone to dry eye, and is particularly susceptible to dust. Obviously the user has to keep the eye covered when out of combat so he can be seen by everyone.
Hungry Hands: User possesses a mutant quirk that created a large mouth on each of their palms. The mouths can eat through anything, regardless of what it is. Whatever the mouths ingest, the user can turn into or expel out of their bodies for a period of time. So for example, if the mouths ate a metal pipe, the user would be able to turn their bodies into metal. If the hands ate an open flame, the user would be able to light their bodies on fire or spew it from any of their three mouths.
Friction Force: The User can increase or decrease friction upon themselves and anything they touch. This ability allows them to increase their mobility by reducing the friction on their feet, allowing them to "slide" around. They can also move on walls and through difficult places by increasing the friction on their feet or hands. Another application of this quirk is enhanced combat and immobilization capabilities by either increasing or decreasing friction of themselves or their opponents.
Polaris: The user has the ability to attract or repel things with his limbs. His left arm and right leg can repel things while his right arm and left leg can attract things. The user can't use the same ability consecutively, so if they were to use the attract ability, they would have to use the repel ability next. The users fighting style revolves around his mobility and ability-enhanced strikes.
@Aquaknight I have a question about quirks in this RP. In the original show, they made it a point that there was a serious bias towards physical quirks getting into UA purely because of how the entry exam was built, and that it has probably been that way since UA's founding. Is that going to be a thing in this as well, or are we bending the rules a bit to make all quirk types welcome?
Oh no, why must this RP be a thing! I'm so busy these next couple months but I really want to play a Hero Academia RP and this one looks so well thought out and fun and I couldn't help but sit here for an hour thinking of a character for it but I shouldn't be putting too much on my platter when I'm going to be this busy but this looks like such a blast to be in and oh why is life so cruel! D:
...
Interested.
@Aquaknight Hey. This seems like a cool idea. I've got some interest in this.
Albeit, interest depending on how often you want people to post in it and such though. Once this week is over i am building up to finals quickly, so i would hope the RP wouldn't be too demanding posting-wise. :P
@Ebil Bunny Don't worry, i know that feel. But look at the bright side, if any of us go crazy after joining this, free room at the nearest mental health center, eh? XD
Do you want us to start putting our character concepts in here or wait for the official thread?
Interested
I'm interested, I'll sub and keep an eye on this.
