@Sickle-cell@Migyudon@Old Amsterdam@Lasrever

The man he was talking to, seeming quite confident, proceeded to speak with Tony.

"I believe Pipeline specifically requested that certain individuals, myself included, make an appearance if at all possible, And I'm sure you'll get me in somehow someway. I got faith in ya, friend. But, uh, I got a nice bet on me. A grand saying I beat my first batch. And another five hundred saying I win every match I get. Do I, uh, need to give you the cash down? Some places do that. Wouldn't be a problem. Fuck, this is awesome,"

"Whatever you say, friend. You don't need to put the cash down - just take this ticket."

Quickly, Tony scribbled down the bet on the card, before handing it to the guy. It was pretty easy - contestants usually don't bet on themselves. Hopefully, this guy wasn't that good... Tony thought that not many people would bet on a kid they never heard of before, and that would be bad for business to pay out his bet...

The crowds shrieked with glee as more impressive individuals began to flood into the area, including the contestants that would be fighting today. Tony distinctly remembered that those who betted on certain individuals were cheering significantly harder - hm. This changed when he arrived - the guy that had declared war on every faction in the city. He had balls for showing up here - even though everybody hated his guts, he still was a popular guy to bet on... Maxwell was the next, and he was pretty boring. After all, he wasn't participating - Tony was just glad that the guy was keeping things professional, rather than going into the loonynes of this place.

The next person shocked Tony - a professional hero. A popular one at that! Cold Front always annoyed Tony with that stereotypical "Hero" look of his, but he he didn't really care as much as most of the haters. Tony just didn't like the guy - and some of the more villainous gang members seemed to agree, folding their arms over themselves while others clapped. Phoenix was next, and she was met with a similar response. Finally, the last man revealed himself - Praetor. Tony didn't even want to know what dirt Pipeline had to get someone who led the PRT in the entire city to come here, but he was met with similar response as Sickle-Cell. The only difference was, rather than being silent out of anger, the crowd was silent out of shock.

Pipeline recovered first, having expected the man to make an appearance no doubt, and offered him the previously untaken white seat. He then introduced the crowd, before turning the attention to Tony

“Finally, everyone is here. Well. We’d best get the festivities kicked off, eh? Lot of bad blood to clear after this morning’s escapades. My good man, if you’d kindly do the honors, I think it’s high time we watched some bloodshed! ...with moderation, of course.”

Tony did his best to hide that he was nearly shitting his pants, and walked into the middle of the poorly built arena, adopting a much louder voice to allow everyone to hear.

"Greetings everyone - Now that we've introduced our esteemed guests, It's time to start the fights!"

A round of applause followed this, but not as much Tony was hoping for.

"As most of you know, our first match up looks pretty good - Returning from last year is Sickle-Cell! Some of you may remember him as the guy that took down our own Juggernaut - pretty impressive track record!"

"Facing him will be a first-timer - A girl going by 'Automaton!' Since this is her first time, we don't know what could happen - maybe she'll even pull through in the end and win!"

Tony coughed slightly.

"Anyways, we'll be starting the first match soon - could the first two fighters come to the center of the stage?"

Tony made his way off of the soon-to-be deathtrap, and back to his small booth, a bastion of safety by comparison. He really hoped that girl took his advice and dropped out of the match - Sickle excelled in this stuff.

@Aquaknight
Just finished this guy - anything need changing?

Yōhō-ka Konchū

Appearance

_{"Perseverance, Hard Work, and a Full Stomach - Those are the main ingredients for me, "Cooking Hero Jr."!"}

Name: Yōhō-ka Konchū

Age: 16

Appearance: Standing at 8' and weighing just shy of 470 pounds, Konchu is a truly monstrous individual, and this isn't even looking at his appearance. He has dozens of holes around his body that are all connected, where countless insects reside. Konchu is also wider than normal, in order to provide more areas for his holes. He also has 4 long antennae, but these are completely cosmetic and serve no purpose. He is very muscular, and several portions of his body are covered in chitin, but this does not provide any armor or effect (other than being creepy looking...). Pictured is him in his (planned) hero uniform, which makes him not only taller and wider, but allows him to store excess insects and is pretty durable armor. As expected, it makes him much slower, making him a bad match up against faster opponents and nigh-useless in a chase. Not pictured is his apron and chef hat, which he wears to mimic the Cooking Hero, Lunch-Rush. Outside of his uniform, he is significantly slimmer and looks more humanoid, besides several insect features and the many holes across his body.

Konchu also uses these holes to hold many items of his, including, but not limited to: His phone, his wallet, pepper spray, threads of spider silk, and many snacks. Occasionally, he makes his insects drag them out for him rather than reach for them himself.

Personality: A hard worker and foodie above all else, Konchu works hard to accomplish his dreams - owning a dine-in barbecue/burger joint! However, this is only one of his dreams - his other being to help as many as people as possible. To this effect, he wishes to become a hero - not only to help those in need, but to also gain a reputation as "Cooking Hero Jr." and make his future business venture a success. He is a hard worker, and constantly strives to improve himself and grow better than he was a little bit ago - self-improvement is his philosophy! As expected of someone with dreams like this, Konchu loves cooking more than nearly anything else - just giving another person a good meal brings a tear to his eyes. Unfortunately, not many people are willing to try his food - apparently, being infested with bugs make others less willing to try your meals. By becoming a well-respected hero, Konchu hopes people will stop this prejudice against him.

Konchu strives hard to make people happy, and believes that a good meal is the fastest way to cheer someone up - but should a meal prove ineffective, Konchu will go to extreme lengths to help those he considers friends (i.e. nearly everybody he knows). He is friendly, will always try to cooperate with others, and will stand up against others in order to protect those who can't protect themselves. An extremely easy way to get him to like you would be to compliment his cooking - he's always willing to make someone a meal if they ask! Unfortunately, his large stature and monstrous appearance makes him nervous of intimidating others, and Konchu is constantly worried he is unpopular because of it.

Konchu was raised to always be kind to everyone - no matter who they were or what they believed in. As such, he goes to large lengths in order to help others, and is always willing to cooperate and compromise to help another. Even against people hostile towards hime, Konchu always tries to be diplomatic and peaceful, but this rarely has worked in the past.

Despite his kind nature and creativity in the kitchen, Konchu is far from the sharpest knife in the drawer - His entire life he could never get good grades, a source of constant shame for him. Konchu desperately tries to hide his low intelligence from others, afraid that they would insult him. This is arguably his largest source of discomfort - no matter how hard he works to improve it, his grades never seem to rise.

Overall, he has horrible Intelligence, mediocre Charm and Creativity, Decent Bravery, and Excellent Cooperativeness.

History: Born in the city of Osaka, Konchu was raised by a mother and father team who owned their own business - a small, family-owned traditional diner! Their, they sold traditional Osakan cuisine (at an affordable price, I might add!). His mother and father were kind parents, and raised him with love and care in mind - no matter what he did, they always gave him their full support. They gave him singing lessons, helped him practice drawing, and were always willing to lend a hand with his preschool studies - it rarely helped, but the thought was appreciated. Unfortunately, things changed at the age of 4.

Konchu's quirk manifested itself later than most - he was nearly 4 and a half when it did manifest itself. He grew a foot taller, and many holes lined his body - he was nearly sent to the emergency room since he didn't know how to control his quirk, and he quickly ran out of energy. Luckily, his mother's father, whom the quirk originated from, helped Konchu properly learn how to control it, saving his life. Unfortunately, having a child that spewed out bugs as a quirk wasn't really good for business in a restaurant - the family diner, which his parents had worked so hard to maintain, quickly went under when news about Konchu's quirk started going around. Eventually, the couple was unable to support the failing establishment, and they sold it to a fast food chain.

Despite losing their dream, his parents quickly bounced back - they took new jobs, both getting the same career at a larger restaurant, working as chefs. The made significantly less money and some would even call them poor, but they were frugal enough to make things work. Despite always telling him that it wasn't his fault, Konchu always blamed himself for the failing of his parent's dreams - this guilt manifested itself in his love of cooking. Every day, whenever his parent's had free time, Konchu would beg them to teach him a new recipe or technique, and they tried their best to oblige. Konchu also grew to idolize the famous chef's of the world - despite many not having useful quirks for cooking, they were still able to be well-accomplished chefs. No one, however, was more idealized than the hero Lunch-Rush.

Upon learning the existence of Lunch-Rush and professional heroes in general at the age of 8, Konchu decided to become one himself. Many of the neighborhood ridiculed him, because at the time, he could barely control the insects that poured from his skin - that was the reason his parent's restaurant went under. However, Konchu possessed a gift that was far more powerful than a naturally good quirk - he had the power of perseverance! Every day, after he finished school and practicing his cooking, he trained his quirk and body. Over the years, the number of insects he could control grew, and his quirk continued to mutate his body - as he could control larger numbers, his body grew larger in order to hold more. This, combined with his strength that he had trained intensely, catapulted him from "Weird, but not terrifying" to "Kill it with fire".

Still, even at the age of 12 and being over 6' tall, his parents still supported their son - they were even saving up a large amount of money so he could go to a university with a good hero program. However, Konchu secretly refused to accept this - their was no way he would force his parents to support his dreams - he was doing this for them, not the other way around! He doubled down on his training, and finally, at the age of 16, he applied to U.A High. While it is by far the best Hero school in the country, Konchu is more focused on it for another reason - the chef of the academy was the famous Lunch-Rush! Of course, the great "Cooking Hero Jr." had to eat the meals of the original "Cooking Hero!" And so, Konchu sent forth his application - praying that, even with his low grades and a quirk not specialized for being a hero, his attitude and perseverance would win him the day!

Likes:

Training
Helping others
Gambling
Popularity

Dislikes:
People being Grossed out by him
Stagnating

Rudeness
Breaking the rules
Intelligence-related things
Cold wind (Especially when his holes are exposed)

Personal Strengths:
Strong: Even though his quirk doesn't provide a strength boost in itself, constant training and the larger stature of his mutation has allowed Konchu to grow stronger than most people.

Kind: Konchu is extremely kind, going to great lengths to help others - in fact, other than training and cooking, altruistic volunteer service is his main hobby.

Diligent: By far his strongest trait, Konchu refuses to give up on anything until he gets what he wants - This was his main driving force for becoming a hero. This, combined with his strong work ethic and morals makes him a mighty force.

Personal Weaknesses:
Stupid: Konchu tries his hardest - he really does! But it seems that, no matter how hard he tries, he can never get that one equation right! Plus, all the buzzing really makes it hard to focus. This impacts his short-term decision making and planning as well, but nowhere near as much as his test scores and general Knowledge.

Pushover: Konchu, despite his intimidating appearance, is a massive pushover. Even with only a slight amount of pushing, Konchu will fold over and compromise for another. This, however, doesn't apply if it is something that he morally disagrees with (Stealing or other crimes) or is against something he is determined to achieve. However, someone could convince him to do things he normally would not, if they were smart or charming enough to trick Konchu (which is pretty easy to do).

Indulgent: Konchu constantly eats food, and not just to train his quirk - he is a massive glutton, and whenever he has access to it, he will gorge himself as much and as often as possible. This doesn't only apply to food - Konchu will overindulge in any pleasure, from food to gambling. He has an addictive personality that only helps this, and as such, he has avoided drugs his entire life - he is terrified of becoming addicted to them.

Quirk Name: Living Hive

Quirk Type: Mutation

Quirk Basics: Numerous insects live inside of Konchu's body - these are made by consuming an excess amount of calories. They can be controlled within a 300 foot range, and Ken can use their senses at will. In order to recover stamina for it, he must consume more food, making his endurance naturally low - should he use his quirk too much, he will eventually pass out, or even die.

Quirk Strengths:
Versatility: Konchu can create a vast array of insects, from wasps and ants to beetles and mosquitoes. This not only gives him access to many types of movement styles, but also plenty of different poisons.

Size Manipulation: Konchu can alter the size of his insects to a degree - he can make them anywhere from a third of the normal size, to 3 times their average sizes. Larger sizes takes extra energy, while smaller sizes take less.

Senses: Konchu can use the insects senses at will - seeing, hearing, touching, nearly anything. He can even see through multiple insects senses at the same time. Unfortunately, he cannot use both his own and his insects senses at the same time - he must choose between one or the other. Additionally, he can only sense through a certain number of insects at a time - anything beyond five causes him nausea, while beyond 10 is impossible to maintain, as he will immediately vomit.

Quirk Weaknesses:
Inherent Weaknesses: No matter how many or how large they are, Bugs are still bugs. Konchu's bugs are not any more resistant to fire and poison than any others, and those with area of affect quirks can easily be a hard counter for him.

Armor Problems: Bugs, as you could imagine, are poor to use for armor piercing. While he is excellent against lightly/unarmored opponents, those that posses armor or some durability are much more difficult, if not impossible to harm.

Timed: No matter how much food he consumes or what bugs he produces, they have a set lifetime - they are unable to live longer than 6 hours, with larger bugs lasting less time depending on how much larger they are. This prevents him from "Stocking up" and storing large numbers of insects. Fortunately, the process of actually spawning the bugs only takes a few seconds.

Quirk Techniques:
Chili Pepper Assault: Wasps and other flying insects that Konchu creates are quickly covered in pepper spay or some irritant, before flying into the eyes and mouths of enemies. While not directly powerful, this debilitates even the most resilient foes. Unfortunately, this is weak against people properly dressed or those not affected by poison.

Stuffing Restraint: Using his impressive strength, Konchu hugs his opponent. As he does this, insects fly from him and either claw at or burrow into the enemy, causing immense pain. This is a close range technique, and is fairly dangerous because of the proximity to the villain. While this sounds extremely painful, Konchu refuses to use lethal poisons unless absolutely necessary, and the worst a person could get is a few broken bones from the pressure.

The Savage West: Horrors of the Frontier

Troy laid against the cold snow, resting. Moving yourself around when your soul was so weak was... tiring, to say the least. Troy would gather up his energy, throw himself a couple feet, and then rest. The process was agonizingly slow... But thankfully, he was spared some of the inconvenience of life, such as the freezing cold or the boredom. Having a wielder would have made the trip much quicker, but it seemed no one in Newton was willing to pick up a revolver that was just lying in the middle of the street. They were even less tempted when said revolver flew several feet down the street. But in times like these, being cautious of the supernatural was a great way to stay alive, so he really couldn't blame them.

Hours passed, and finally, Troy had made it onto main street. The area seemed pretty empty, which wasn't a big surprise. Ever since the winter began, people have tried to stay inside for warmth. Troy continued to make his way down the street, hopping a couple feet forwards as the minutes passed. Eventually, he saw his opening - a young man, with runes and potions dangling from his person, exited a small bar and was making his way towards another building. This was his chance! Troy attempted to lunch himself, block the man's path, but he was just to tired - he had jumped only a few seconds prior, and doing it again would be too exhausting. Instead, Troy watched helplessly as the young man walked into the sheriff's office.

"Shit..."

The kid looked promising as well - somebody wearing runes on his person was much less likely to reject a supernatural entity like Troy. Seeing this as his golden opportunity, Troy carefully positioned himself to be as noticeable as possible, directly on the front step of the Sheriff's door. Someone was bound to come along, and hopefully they'd take him for the ride. Worst case scenario, Troy was fully loaded, and pulling a trigger was a lot easier than launching yourself forwards.

Dirk Davidson

Theodore Smith

My Hider

The fights thus far had been relatively easy - the only thing Theo really had to do was get hit a little bit, which was relatively nothing since he had such a high Health pool. To be honest, the fear of death had stopped the second he entered the Dungeon - it wasn't until they made it out of the dungeon that Theo felt like vomiting. It took a lot in him to restrain himself from doing so. He was used to blood - hell, he was studying to become a doctor. But actual life and death combat? This was the second time it ever happened, the first being with those boars... And the boars were a lot less intimidating.

They had just exited the dungeon when Theo finally decided to look at the loot they had gotten - A crap load of Renn, to be sure, and he had more than doubled in level! The number of attribute and skill points he had gotten was lower than earlier, which was slightly disconcerting, but still, this dungeon run was amazing in terms of advancement. Theo was just about to close the message, when he saw the PM he had received.

This only brought up more questions - how the hell did they know he was lying about his identity? Were they watching him? And if so, were they watching everyone else? Could they watch everyone else? Theo was glad to have the items, but It honestly felt unearned... He had barely done anything, only took a few hits. While tanks are definitely important, they are pointless without DPS and Healers to Support them.

Kajin was, without a doubt, dead. The thought was a lot less troubling then it was earlier in the day, but it still chilled him to the core. Kajin was the very first person on his friends list - now, his name was greyed out, an indicator of his death. The thought was permeating, sticking to Theo's very heart. Even though he as raised in a bad neighborhood, this was the first death that Theo had witnessed - it was also the first death of a friend. Theo opened his inventory quickly, spying the new item - The Rosary. A shaking finger equipped it, and immediately, the feelings of pain and emptiness were gone - they were instead replaced with the familiar and overwhelming sense of power and confidence that was Dirk. The abruptness of the emotions being relieved was shocking, but Dirk entered the Tavern without a care for the moral implications of a personality-affecting item like this..

The party managed to congregate around a larger table after they had placed their orders - Theo ordered a Shepard's pie (how did they make it taste so good?) and water, while placing down a room for three nights as well. He sniffed his shirt slightly, deciding to take a bath in the morning. Sliding over the Renn, Dirk quickly began to destroy his meal, hungry after a long day of getting attacked. Aster, his second companion that he had met in this world, began to address each individual member of the party, detailing how she felt about each member. It was certainly heartfelt, and by the end of it, she announced something big - she wanted them all to form a guild. Until this point, the party had been a minor thing, something they could easily break out of if they ever wanted to. But a guild was a big commitment - something not many people were willing to agree to.

Theo nodded his head the entire time, until Karma began to speak. As soon as he finished speaking, Theo immediatly rose from his seat and pointed his finger at the healer, an expression of mock anger on his face.

"That's where you're wrong! None of us were better than the other - we were all parts that summed up into a greater whole! That's called teamwork, cooperation..."

Theo's voice grew serious temporarily, only aided by his high acting skill.

"You shouldn't put yourself down. We all put in so much effort, and there is no doubt in my mind that we would have died without you. Hell, if anyone here was missing, we would have been a lot worse off from that dungeon..."

"We pulled through thanks to teamwork - no. We did well cause we believed in each other. We protected each other's blind spots, and turned our weaknesses into strengths. We did well because we're friends... At least, I see you guy that way."

Theo winked and gave a thumbs up to the party, before adding

"That's why I agree with Aster - Let's form a guild! Even if things are rough, as long as we're together, we can accomplish anything - That's my opinion!"

It was the corniest, stupidest thing that ever escaped Theo's lips - but hey, it was in character. The others might be creeped out by the fact that the guy they had met only a day ago was treating them with so much admiration and respect, but whatever. Tragedy makes people come together, so they might go along with it. Whatever the case, forming a guild was definitely smart - they'd gain access to many new features, and these guys had proven themselves as capable fighters.

Theo sat down, thankful that his Acting skill helped stop him from blushing - the act, while exactly what Dirk would do, was pretty embarrassing to a kid who was used to being in the background.
