Kokoro Academy - A My Hero Academia RP (12/12 Slots)

Found an OP, stolen straight from an older MHA RP, because we need it now >:D

Better idea: the alternative is PPAP

Oh yeah, that reminds me: @Toots, does Kokoro have dorms? Just thought I'd ask since Tohka would be living away from her parents. It works either way for me, since she either lives on campus or in some sketchy part of town and both sound fun ^-^

That being said, Kokoro's probably not rich enough to hold giant sports festivals, so desperate 1v1s probs won't be a thing~

@ERode

♫Interschool carnival, interschool carnival!♫

But man, that's sadly probably true :( Well there's always the Provisional Hero License Exam!

Tohka doesn't really worry about her physical appearance, but has kept in pretty good shape most of her life, in part due to her quirk forcing a strong metabolism. She stands at 5'5, weighs 132lbs, and has a giant mouth where her hair would be. Her deep black hair blends perfectly into the gaping maw that is her companion, Munch, who she shares a connection to quite literally.

Carnivore Crunch, the companion quirk! Tohka has a pet "mouth" which is located in her hair, called Munch. Although terrifying in appearance, Munch isn't quite so terrifying as his teeth would leave you to believe, most people finding him the more social of the two mutes. Munch is an entity which lives inside Tohka, a parasitic quirk which leeches off her energy to survive. He cannot retreat inside of Tohka, however if he takes a significant amount of damage he will shrivel up and become completely immobile to heal. Munch's keratin shell (basically his skin) is water and fire resistant, as well as resisting blunt force, making him ideal as a biological shield. His teeth can easily pierce skin and his jaw strength is as strong as a saltwater crocodile.

While injuries to Munch will not harm Tohka (and vice-versa), the back of her head is incredibly susceptible to any and all attacks, able to incapacitate the two of them with a single strike. Furthermore, if Tohka is incapacitated, Munch is too, though she can continue to move if he is forced to heal. However, this will put incredible strain on her body, and make her seriously tired. Additionally, although Munch can think for himself, he cannot sense for himself, and is entirely bound to the senses provided by Tohka. Munch is also quite heavy and hard to maneuver with if he's not the one doing the maneuvering, and also takes up a lot of energy, again particularly to self-heal, which he can do at an accelerated rate. Because of this, if she's not careful, Tohka can find herself unconscious from over-exertion in minutes. While a powerful quirk overall, the mastery of this quirk in hero activities, like combat and rescue operations, is what has held Tokizaki from going to any notable hero schools. Her parents, both quirkless, don't know the first thing about becoming a hero, but at hearing her request, they knew they would need to give Tohka a school which would provide her growth from the ground up. Thus, Kokoro Academy was chosen.

Tohka has a powerful quirk, I'm well aware of this. The original version of her was meant to be on the same level as some of Shiketsu's students, so it was obvious I had to downgrade her in order to give her some room to grow and develop. The thing about Tohka is that she's a representation of the class's "top student". She was fundamentally supposed to be the strongest and smartest, as I originally set her out to be someone who would never grow, and be overtaken by everyone else in class. Her apathy would make her fall to the bottom of the barrel, which I felt could be an interesting contrast to MHA's message about growth and perseverance; what do you aspire to be if you are already at the top?
Of course, this didn't tie well with the RP as it stood, so I got to editing.

Tokizaki is still naturally strong, no doubt, but lacks a fundamental understanding of what being a hero is about. There's potential in her to become incredible, but it requires a lot of learning. Trouble is, Tohka is apathetic by nature. Her passion for becoming a hero isn't cemented immediately like other characters - rather, it's something she will learn over time once she sees the passions of her classmates coming to fruition. I felt this could work a lot more naturally with the setting, especially if it's properly tied in with character development. If it doesn't work I'm open to changing her nature too, since she could be a fairly flexible character, this is just what I felt worked best with her character.

I'm also happy to buff or nerf the quirk, though I would like to keep its fundamental identity there if possible. Before revision, she could move Munch to her limbs as well, however limiting him to the back of her head feels like a massive nerf to her flexibility/versatility. Furthermore she had a lot more physical strength on her own before, whereas now she will need to develop muscle strength over the course of the RP, which I felt was another appropriate nerf. The resistances Munch has could be a bit excessive though, so I'm happy to remove those in exchange for keeping the huge amount of jaw strength he has, as well as adding some bonus weaknesses. The critical weak-point, where Munch and Tohka connect, has mostly stayed the same as I think it works well, since she can't track her weak point at all, and must be conscious of someone getting behind her at all times. Not to mention, if she wants to use Munch she will usually have to turn around and expose her major weakness. Trappers, stealth users, and speedsters act as hard-counters because they can easily exploit her weaknesses, whereas defensive behemoths or physically strong opponents are match-ups she's good against.

Overall, she has a powerful quirk, but needs to learn how to use it. She could probably be compared to Deku the most, with a hint of Todoroki tied in. She has a lot of learning to do to become even adept at using her quirk, but once she finally learns and grows, she will probably be a lot stronger than most, especially if she receives some of her nerfs back.

_{Q U E S T I O N S}

• Given its reputation, why apply to Kokoro Academy?
  "I never trained to be a hero. I never learned to be a hero. I never knew I wanted to be a hero... But now I do. I can't go to other schools because I don't know what I don't know. I need to learn everything. I helped someone who said that I could become a hero, and they've helped me get to this point. So, I want to help them and apply here."
• Why do you want to be a professional hero?
  "That's... hard. But I'll try to make it simple: I never had someone in life who I could help. I've been alone with Munch a long time. But I saved someone from getting hurt, and it made me think about who I wanted to be. They said, with my power, I could be a hero. It... surprised me. They helped me get in, to be here. So I want to try. I want to get to the next level, and become a student for a hero school. Any school is fine, but they helped me get here, so I'll try here."
• What kind of professional hero do you want to become?
  "The best one? I don't understand, I'm sorry. I want to be a hero. Is there more than one type? I don't really know much about the different types of heroes there can be because I've never really experienced their presence. I never thought I'd be one so I didn't think it was something for me to focus on. I'm sorry, I don't know how to answer your question..."
• Best describe yourself in five sentences.
  "I eat a lot of food. Medical condition. Named after the day I was supposed to die. No friends. Munch... I don't know how I'd describe myself. I don't like talking a lot, so this is a little difficult, but I'll try. I like to do things that interest me, and don't like doing things for others, but I like helping people. I don't know what it takes to be a hero, but I want to learn and become something that isn't... me. I... want to be liked by people, too. I'm not very strong, but I want to get stronger, and I want to get better at feeling things. I have a lot that I want, more or less."
• What are your interests and hobbies?
  "Eating, playing games, reading, breaking things, sleeping, uhh... Yeah. I really want to find more things, but home doesn't have a lot to do. I want to try crafts some more, but also shooting things like paintball. It sounds fun. I like some more nerdy stuff. Umm... Mmmh."
• Are there any notable accomplishments you want to us to be aware of?
  "No. Maybe. I saved a person from falling really high up. They were very sad, and didn't want to keep living. I just did what anyone would do, though. I also learned how to crush a car, but that's a rather embarrassing story... Oh! But I've always been good at high jump in school, since Munch is great at helping me into the air. I won a lot of awards for sports."
• Tell us something about your quirk that most might not know? Any events or memories, be it joyous or ill, tied to it?
  "... Hitting this part right here, on the back of the head? It hurts. Really badly. I once got hit by a dodge ball there and fell unconscious. I had a migraine for three days and had to be hospitalized. Someone karate chopped me there to test it and I almost hurt them. Please don't test it out, it really, really hurts. I don't like people knowing it but you should probably know, just in case I get hurt there."
• Why should we consider you over the other applicants? What can you offer that they cannot?
  "Umm... well... uhh... I don't know. I want to be a really great hero, and I want to do it through this school. But everybody probably wants that... Munch is really strong. He can do incredible things, like crushing things. I think we can help people together, and also stop people from getting hurt. I never really thought about it before, but when I think about what kind of hero I can be, I think I can be one of the best. But I'm going to need a lot of help with that, and I think I can get there here, where I can't anywhere else. I don't know what I can become just yet, what I can offer you, but I know that I can learn quickly and be of use to Kokoro Academy. If... if you'll let me."

@Animal Mmmh, I'd be interested in an eating contest between our two characters. Pretty sure Tohka would lose but it's definitely something to do if there's some downtime in the story c:

Kokoro Academy - A My Hero Academia RP (12/12 Slots)

@Delta44 The quirk is interesting, but kinda curious on how Munch functions. I get that it has a mouth, so aside from biting and chewing, can it speak, lick, spit, etc? Is it able to swallow? If so, where would it go? You mentioned that it can sense for itself, so dDoes it have eyes or capable of smelling and tasting? The rest of its capabilities seem nerfable, but I'm leaning towards letting them slide. Being able to move Munch to her limbs sounds like a good upgrade; just find a way to make sense of how she'd actually learn to do it.

@Toots

Info dump, sorry!

Munch can eat from his current position, as his throat will avoid her head entirely and simply connect with hers. It's not overly large or anything though, so he can't start swallowing watermelons to recover their stamina, especially since it would block in Tohka's neck c: He can lick and has vocal chords to communicate, but can't form words, only grunts, barks, roars, that kind of thing. As for other parts, he doesn't have any kind of sense organ, like eyes or a nose, but has a sense of touch and taste. As for letting him move to other limbs, I always imagined it like a restructuring of his keratin shell, breaking them down into cells and reforming through Tohka's skin elsewhere. Like nanomachines breaking down and reforming, but with cells. I imagine the scientific way this would happen would be either transporting these bits through her blood vessels or along her skin, then deconstructing the end of her other limb and using it to reform himself. Kinda morbid, so it would likely be unlocked in a moment of trauma or extreme stress rather than training, which you could work into the story if you have something like that in mind (TOURNAMENT ARRRRRC? baddies?). Since Munch is a parasitic quirk, I always thought he had his own brain inside of Tohka's body with a body that is external to protect both himself and his host from danger, in which case it would make sense for him to be able to deconstruct himself.
