Alina’s uncovered eye widened in surprise as the metal surrounding Twisted Metal expanded to form a small forest of tree-like formations. Whoever this crazy guy was he seemed really strong; the guy with the shadows had already backed away and she saw some other guy who got too close to action get sent flying before the expanding metal blocked Alina’s view of things.

Just like she had thought, this was really fun. You didn’t get to see things like this happening in Russia; not outside of Moscow at least. The villains tended to keep a lower profile and the ‘heroes’ were the type who liked to deal with things outside of the public view. Fights, if they happened were quick, dirty and usually very lethal. Japan however liked to add so much flair to proceedings, as if everyone decided to take their anime and superhero comics as inspiration for how to live their life.

Her smile grew even sider. Coming here was a good decision.

Now someone else was running forward to fight Twisted Metal, somebody with lots of scarves and some fancy goggles. With the way he was running rampant it wouldn’t be long before someone took Twisted Metal down, he was simply attracting too much attention. In fact, it was probably about time for her to leave, before someone noticed her or the mess she had left behind in that alleyway. Maybe she should grab a snack before she left though?

As she pushed away from the tree she was leaning against something struck her hard in the back, eliciting a grunt as she stumbling forward a step. Holding a hand to her side she turned to face her attacker, seeing a mysterious cloaked figure military-like helmet and facemask. He’d punched her in the back and then ran away, taking a position several feet away and taking a ready stance.

Fool. If you have the drop on someone you should finish them off.

“Owwww, that was rude!” The pain was already fading to nothing. A recently fed Alina was a dangerous thing indeed. “I was having fun too. Hmm, I’ll have to teach you a lesson.”

No sooner than had she finished speaking Alina opened her jaw as wide as possible as her hidden appendage shot forward to close the distance between her and the mystery man, aiming to snap closed over his facemask and pull him forward.

Reaching the edge of the park Shingo slid to a stop as Twisted Metal’s quirk exploded outward, covering a sizeable area with branching metal structures. One branch in particular lashed out at someone who got too close and send them flying into a building nearby; the wall caved inwards under the force of the impact and whoever it was who got hit ended up in someone’s kitchen.

“Holy shit!”

Running towards the slowly clearing dust cloud, Shingo stepped up to the hole to peer inside and see if anyone needed help. Or was even still alive.

“Anyone in need of assistance in there?”

@King Cosmos does anything that gets caught in your Villain's second mouth automatically get nullified in terms of hurting her?

@Guy0fV4lor

Interesting question. I never really considered it.

I suppose I'd describe it as the appendage just being a normal physical limb up until the moment that she closes her mouth, at which point anything caught inside is instantly erased/digested.

So she could be hurt by anything she tries to eat up until that point. Technically she could eat a fireball but it would burn her and then disappear as soon as she closed her mouth.

@Skinner35

Then I have done my job.

My Hero Acadamia.

@King Cosmos Holy shit bro, already eating people I see XDDDDD

@Guy0fV4lor

I can already tell I'm going to have a lot of fun with this character.

My Hero Acadamia.

I was going to go straight for Nuke, but I forgot that he's still running towards the fight.

Oh well. Now you guys have another villain to play with at least.

My Hero Acadamia.

Feet pounding against the pavement, Shingo sprinted as fast as he could down the street towards the park; this close to the epicentre the streets were filled with people, most rushing in the opposite direction but several just standing around hoping to get a look at the action. So many people treated these fights as a spectator sport that it always made getting their quickly difficult. He tried to avoid barging people out of his way in his haste, calling out for everyone to clear the way as he approached, but more than once he jostled someone on the way past.

“MOVE ASIDE! HERO COMING THROUGH!”

He had his aura active, his lower legs surrounded in a glowing orange aura as he gathered power each time his feet hit the ground, his quirk absorbing the kinetic energy of each step. By the time he reached the park he should have built up a nice reserve of power to get things started with. From past experience he knew his main problem in a fight was resource management; running out of power was a big deal and although he could easily get more, it was risky and it was always better to end things as soon as possible.

“We take you back to our live camera feed of the action. Hideo, tell us what you can see?”

Shingo slid to a stop as he passed an electronics store, the full window display showing a news channel with footage of the park. The space outside the store was packed with people, but Shingo was tall enough to see over most peoples’ heads and catch some of what was going on. The footage was clearly being taken from a news helicopter, the view being high above the action and constantly circling around for a better angle.

“The villain appears to have been apprehended. An unknown person, possible a new hero has trapped with Twisted Metal with cords made out of some dark material. Not long ago another person we have identified as the vigilante Nuke arrived on the scene and someone else just arrived at the edge of the park. It looks like… ERASERHEAD! Yes, the pro hero Eraserhead just arrived to deal with the situation.”

Shingo left the store behind as people began to cheer, breaking out into another sprint. With three people on the scene to deal with the villain it was likely things would be over before he arrived, but even so he kept heading in the direction of the park. Something told him things weren’t going to go so smoothly.

“Hmmm? What going on?”

Taking another bite of her triple decker burger, Alina walked into the flowing tide of people. For some reason everyone seemed to be running away from the direction of the park, the crowd of people parting around her instinctively as they tried to put as much distance as they could between them and the crazed villain. Most of them seemed to be families, pairs of people carrying children between them or on their shoulders.

Curious, Alina followed the flow in the opposite direction to find its source, soon ending up alone on a street one row of buildings away from the park. She found the mouth of an alleyway between two shops and walked down it, only to find her path blocked by someone in a uniform.

A young police officer barred her path, holding up a hand to signal her to stop as he held up his other arm out to the side to physically block the alleyway. “I’m sorry miss, you can’t go through here; there is a situation with a villain in the park. You’ll be able to go through once the heroes have apprehended the suspect and we have finished our investigation.”

Alina leaned to the side to look past the officer curiously. She couldn’t see anything from here but if she listened carefully she thought she could hear something like laughter. “Aww, you can’t let me through? Spoilsport.”

“I’m afraid not miss. Please turn around and leave the area for your own safety.”

“But it sounds so fun over there.” With a sigh Alina raised the rest of her burger to her mouth and then opened her jaw wide. She slightly extended her second mouth outwards and swallowed the remainder of the oversized burger in one bite, not even needing to chew as the food disappeared as soon as the teeth met with a snap.

The young officer looked very nervous suddenly. Even when the second mouth retreated back inside he didn’t look reassured, though this may have had something to do with Alina’s wide mouthed grin which showed off all of her sharp teeth. “Hmm, I’m still hungry. I need something else to eat.”

As the officer tried to take a hesitant step back Alina snapped out a hand and grabbed his still outreached arm, her strong grip keeping him firmly in place. “You look tasty. Itadakimasuuuuuu~~~”

....

A few minutes later Alina walked out of the alleyway on the park side. She crossed over the quiet street and walked through the open gates into the park itself. It wasn’t hard to follow the sounds of carnage to find the excitement and she soon found what she was looking for.

Alina found a nice shady tree to stand under as she watched the fight between Shade and Twisted Metal, smiling wide as drops of scarlet fell from her blood soaked chin.

I'm going to post something today that will hopefully stir some things up.

Pokemon: Coming of Age

“I hope you’re right. I just don’t want to have to be stuck with someone who needs to be handled to make them bearable.”

Samantha was glad she seemed to be starting things off with the right foot with one of her partners at least. She was hoping to make a few friends along the way on this adventure and it would be a pretty bad sign of things to come if she couldn’t even get along with the people she was supposed to work with.

She smiled at the Abra in Eddy’s arms, the little Pokémon dozing away as the Psychic types always seemed to be. Turning towards the food table she raised a hand and beckoned Terry to come closer, the adorable Grass type trotting over curiously and finding himself suddenly lifted into the air and placed on his trainers lap. “This is Terry; I just got him from the Professor.

“So should we get out of here and take a look around town while we wait for Miss evening news to get cleaned up?”

@Satoshi Kyou

Would etiquette require us to inform another player before we challenge their character, or should we just go for it? I can see the latter being more interesting but I don't want to force a duel on someone who isn't interested.

My Hero Acadamia.

Hero: Shingo Taniguchi

Name: Shingo Taniguchi
Alias: Blazing Fist
Age: 24
Appearance:


Quirk: Give and Take – Shingo has the ability to generate a field around his hands and feet that can absorb and release kinetic energy. These fields take the appearance of a glowing orange aura which wraps around Shingo’s hands and feet and extends a couple inches past his wrist and above his ankles respectively; whenever an object strikes these fields most of the kinetic energy is stripped from that object, roughly 80%, and absorbed. Shingo is then able to release this stored kinetic energy at close range, often taking the form of a punch or kick with the respective field that the energy is being released from.

History: Growing up, Shingo always wanted to be a hero. He idolises tough, manly heroes like Crimson Riot or Endeavour and wanted to become like them, someone who protects the innocent by defeating villains and challenging them head on. Luckily, he has a quirk that allows him to do just that.

Shingo has spent a long time training both his quirk and his body, gradually increasing the amount of energy he can absorb and honing his fighting abilities to best leverage that power. He even attended and graduated from U.A. High School.

When it came time for him to go pro Shingo decided he would rather work solo than join a hero association, desiring to fight his battles only relying on himself and his quirk. Although this has led to some losses, some scars and some close calls, he still believes this was the right decision.

Faction: Hero
Gear: Padded sparring gloves (Ignore the gun and knife in the image).
Other: Shingo has trained in a couple different martial arts over the years, primarily boxing, but wouldn’t call himself a master in any of them by any means.
Motto: The more you try to resist the more this is going to hurt.

Villain: Alina Volkov

Name: Alina Volkov
Alias: Likhoradka
Age: 19
Appearance:

Quirk: Gluttony – Alina’s quirk is both a mutation type and a power type. Her teeth are not normal human teeth, but rather a set of razor sharp, triangular teeth similar to that of a great white shark. In addition to this she has an extra appendage tucked inside her body that she can extend out of her mouth; her normal mouth can open wider than normal to accommodate this. This extra limb is 6 feet long when fully extended and ends in a second mouth 8 inches wide that can open a full 180 degrees. This appendage can extend and retract at blinding speed, often faster than the eye can see, and can bite with enough force to splinter bone and cut flesh, allowing Alina to snap up whatever it is she wants to eat before it even realises she has set her sights on it.

The second part of her quirk is the fact that anything swallowed by this second mouth does not go to her stomach, but is instead instantly digested and metabolised, though it still seems to sate her hunger somehow. This allows Alina to consume substances that most people cannot even imagine eating as well as being able to do so almost instantly. The more Alina consumes in this manner, especially anything containing protein and calcium, the stronger she gets; a well fed Alina is superhumanly strong and tough, has near endless stamina and can heal very rapidly. These enhancements diminish the longer she goes without eating in this manner, as the energy she absorbs from what she eats is used up, until she is no stronger than a regular person of her stature.

The third and final part of her quirk is that even the food eaten with her normal mouth is metabolised extremely fast, allowing her to absorb nutrients from food much quicker and heal at a faster than normal rate, as well as maintain a slim figure no matter what she eats. The downside of this is that she is always hungry.

History: Alina was born in a small Russian town in the Kamchatka republic, near the eastern coast. Her family was poor and they lived a meagre existence; they could afford few luxuries, and everyone had to work their share, though food was always available and they were happy for the most part. When Alina first developed her quirk it seemed like a curse; it did nothing but grant her sharp teeth and burden her with a voracious appetite and her family was unable to cope with her increasing requests for more food.

The hunger was unbearable; the endless, maddening hunger. Alina began to waste away, her increased metabolism meaning that her body soon began cannibalising its own reserves to sustain itself. She would wander around town in a stupor, looking for something to eat, too weakened and too driven by hunger to do anything else. In this state it wasn’t long before desperation caused her to discover the other parts of her quirk.

The first time she used her second mouth it was to snatch food, a burger, out of the hand of a passer-by, reacting on instinct and moving so quickly that neither she nor her victim really knew what happened; it felt so good to eat something substantial that she didn’t even notice that she had also grabbed two of his fingers as well.

With her newfound abilities Alina found that she didn’t have to go hungry any longer. She could eat anything she wanted; anything alive at least, it was all in her reach. She started with wild animals; birds, squirrels, rats, even the occasional fox or rabbit that could be found in the woods on the edge of the town. She would disappear for hours at a time, her family was concerned, but she always seemed to come home safe and sound and she was no longer wasting away so they gave her freedom; she was a teenager now after all, they kept strange hours sometimes.

It wasn’t long before peoples pets began to disappear.

It was perhaps only by chance that a vigilante found her; probably just passing through town, since someone like that wouldn’t be in her town just investigating some missing animals. Vigilante was the right word, or maybe bounty hunter, since you couldn’t call what he did for a living heroic. He found her one night in an alleyway, resting after her last meal with the remains of it still on her face.

They found the pieces of him in the morning.

Alina moved to Japan soon after, having outgrown her small town somewhat, which contained a significantly smaller number of people now compared to when she first developed her quirk. She hoped that by moving somewhere larger and more populated she might find someplace more fun than her humdrum little Russian town; someplace with lots of delicious food to eat, with a thriving nightlife. Someplace with a soft underbelly where the heroes are a little softer than those found in the Motherland.

Faction: Villain
Gear: None
Other: Her alias comes from the name of a one-eyed creature in Slavic mythology which takes the form of an old hag. It has little to do with her quirk, but since she had one eye and likes to think of herself as the stuff of nightmares, she found it fitting.
She lost her eye in a fight with a vigilante in her hometown. He lost a lot more.
Motto: No matter how strong you think you are there’s always someone higher up the food chain than you.
