Finished my CS! I hope it is good enough and that Val isn’t too powerful, if she is then I’ll gladly tone her down a bit!

Val Burns

_{"Money means power, and with my Quirk I might as well be the most powerful being alive."}

Name:
Val Burns

Age:
16

Appearance:
Val Burns stands at an average 5’8” with long brown hair that goes down to about halfway on her body. Her eyes are a bright brown, overall she just looks like a normal girl, a normal girl who dresses in very expensive clothing. Her outfits very from day to day, though they all share one thing in common, they are extravagant and brightly colored, in fact seeing her in anything else probably means her allowance got cut.

Personality:
In short, Val is a spoiled rotten brat, and such happens when you always get what you want without fail. Her common expectation is to get what she wants when she demands it, any later is cause for a punishment by her quirk. The one positive thing about her pretentious nature is that she is a fighter and through and through, probably one of the toughest rich girls that anyone would ever lay eyes on. However, that also brings the problem that she does not know when to quit, and that can get her into serious trouble when she is using her quirk.

Another downside is that she seems to constantly be annoyed or angry at something, sometimes she does not even know what she is actually pissed at. All that is known is that she will take that misguided anger out on anyone who dares to insult her, her family, or say something stupid. In the end, she is just not a people person nor will she ever truly be a people person. Such is life.

History:
Val was originally born into the upper society of the United Kingdom at her parent’s estate in Yorkshire to a quirkless mother and her exceptionally gifted hero of a father, known by the public as Starbuster. Like many, she received her quirk at around the age of four and it was it was something that was far beyond her control. Being a quirk fueled on raw emotion, it came out whenever she got angry or frustrated and that led to many things constantly being broken or set ablaze, yet only a minor scale. Her mother found the child to be quite a handful, but she was still kind and caring to the spoiled girl.

Then came the dreaded fire, at the age of 11 Val accidentally started a rather powerful fire while in the midst of an argument with her mother. She can no longer remember what started the argument but all she can remember was the anger blinding her. The fire quickly enveloped the estate grounds and it was a miracle that her father had gotten home to save as many people as he could. However, he found Val with the charred corpse of her mother, crying out in a rage that she was the one that killed her mother. Grief struck the family with the death of her mother and several others, and Val still blames herself for the incident. She promised to herself and to her father that she would not allow this to happen again,

For many other reasons, the father and daughter had to move to japan where Val and Starbuster worked vigorously to curb the quirk that she had. She also privately learned from a hired tutor where she learned to speak Japanese and how to properly act when out in public, though the success of that is up for debate. Eventually, it came to the point where Val felt confident enough to apply for U.A. High School.

Likes:
Money
Herself
Expensive Clothing
Using her Quirk
Her father

Dislikes:
Commoners
Not having things
Other people in general
Fighting
Being tired

Personal Strengths:
Determination - Val is one who does not give in easily, she likes to see things through to the end without giving up.
Passion - In whatever she does, Val is passionate and will put forth all her effort to get the best possible results in whatever she is happening to do.
Deep pockets - Val is rich. Simple as that, money is everything.

Personal Weaknesses:
Determination - Her determination is also a weakness is that even if she is losing badly or something is physically impossible she will attempt to do it even if it may exhaust her or bring her close to death.
Unsociable - Given her personality, Val does not make friends all that easily nor is it even easy for people to willingly like her. Thus, she leads a very sad and lonely life.
Greedy - No matter what it is, money, power, happiness, she wants it all. She despises spending her own money and will often beg or threaten others into buying things for her, though so long as the person is not a pushover then generally she just has to suck it up.

Quirk Name:
Star Body

Quirk Type:
Transformation

Quirk Basics:
Val’s body becomes equivalent to that of a star’s, granted with far less heat but she is still exceeding heat generated by even the most powerful furnaces. The transformation gives her a strength and speed boost along with the heat, though it is extremely costly if she overworks herself. Furthermore there are varying degrees of how powerful the transformation is, all in order of the heat of a Star.

Quirk Strengths:

• Extremely strong and fast when active, increases exponentially as the hotter she becomes.
• Heat, in her red form, Val’s surface temperature exceeds over 500 degrees Fahrenheit in her blue form it triples to 1,500, just enough to melt steel.
• Heat Resistance
  
  Quirk Weaknesses:
• Energy Consumption, maintaining such a high heat and such power requires a lot of energy. Even in her red form it is hard for her to last for more than an hour. Thus it forces her to end fights quickly.
• Ice Weakness, despite her insanely high heat generation she is vulnerable to people who can rapidly cool her down and reverse her form.
• Emotion based, her transformation requires her to be angry and the only way she can grow brighter is by getting angrier. This limits her in many ways as if she grows cocky, then she will begin to cool down without wanting to.
• Uncontrollable, Val can barely control her motions when she enters even her red form, but when she begins to grow brighter, her moves become reckless and based on instinct alone.

Quirk Techniques:

Meteor Shower - This technique is essentially a move that is dedicated to quick fire punches, unrelenting and extremely fast. The move is made to wear an opponent down, forcing them to give up due to the heat or all the punches.

Supernova - This technique is very much a double edged sword, Val can go through all of her remaining energy to generate a powerful explosion around her, powerful enough to level a small building. The downside is that she will normally be decommissioned for the rest of the fight.

Edit: decided to decrease her quirk’s surface temp to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and her final form to 1,500 degrees.

Our Hero Academia: Rising Age of Heroes [Full]

I had an idea of having a star/plasma transformation quirk, where my character could transform into a walking being a pure plasma. It would start at the color red then depending on how heated the battle would get she can get progressively more powerful which is indicated by color starting with red, then, yellow, white, and finally blue. Then there is her final form which she calls her “nova” form.

These forms give her an increase in speed and strength at the cost of energy and her own mortality. The hotter she gets the better the increase of stats but the greater the cost and the longer she stays in the form the more likely she is to just collapse from exhaustion or even the possibility of death if she pushes herself to hard.

Won’t lie, this has my interest highly peaked. Time to go become a go-getter fanboy I guess.

Civilization - A New End (2.5)

Clan Metalbeard

D) Improve Culture

---

With heavy rains and cracking thunder outside their mountain hold, the dwarves of Clan Metalbeard was fit to stay indoors with the warmth of their hearths and better food finally coming in. Yet, it was boring to them all, they were not used to being forcibly trapped inside their hold by the elements despite not often leaving in the first place. It was a strange predicament, but they had to make do, especially with their farms now taking a good battering from the rain. However, some dwarves found other use of their times other than sleeping and having drinking contests.

“Ye crossed me fir the last time, Orebane! I challenge ye t’ a duel to first blood!” growled Bolmeck Orebasher o his cousin who had just drank the last pint of mead that Bolmeck had in storage. Such a grave offense could not go unpunished, but it seemed his cousin was all too eager to accept the challenge.

“Yeah! Ye think you can best me! Ye may be me cousin, but my family has the best fighters!”

“They call us the Orebashers for a reason, ya oaf!”

With insults flying the two finally took up arms and went outside of their little stead. Soon, the two began to clash, sword against sword, the occasional dirty punch to be thrown, and even more insults, drew the attention of a crowd who began to bet on who would drop first as well as cheer on the the two combatants.

Orebasher blocked a blow for the Orebane, seeing an opportunity to send a punch right into the nose of his adversary. The bunch disoriented the Orebane and Orebasher did not relent, allowing his shoulder to knock his cousin off balance and send Orebane crashing to the ground. Bolmeck held his sword over his cousin, for a few moments, allowing his to realize who the true winner was.

“Ye thought you could best an Orebasher! Hah! But you are me cousin, so you put up a good wallop, I’ll say!” Bolmeck laughed as the crowd began to cheer, they wanted to see more and the losers were passing their coin to the winners of the bet.

Bolmeck held a hand out to his cousin and eagerly smiled, “What about a round two, ya oaf.”

Summary

Dueling becomes a profession sport among dwarves, only to first blood since killing each other would be a crime.

D&D 5e - High Seas and Tall Tales

The battle was over very quickly, all things considered, and Askia felt happy to have aided in it somewhat and thus she slapped her hands together a few time as if she were trying to get dust off her. That was before Jill scared the daylights out of her with her loud noises, but what could you expect from such a young person. A light chuckle came out of her mouth at the fact that Koan and the whoever this ass Was was getting reprimanded. Then Dyn had to come along, droning on about the same thing she had done to a bunch of other people, but she had never gotten this from a beholder so she listened and nodded her head a few times as he spoke.

However, she didn’t care, which was evident in her response, ”You see, the difference between you and I, you are concerned for the group, understandably. I am not, I stopped caring about others a long time ago when I gave up my heroic adventures. In short, you say the same thing I have heard many times, and frankly, it means nothing to me. Have fun with that knowledge and how your words are insignificant in the grand nature of the cosmos.” With that Askia attempted to swim away from the beholder muttering a few insults under her breath, mostly about him being a stupid squid.

And while such a reputation in itself is its own reward, it can harm a Clans progress and ability to trade Take -1 to your KNOWLEDGE!

_{The Vermintide}

_History

There is really not many who can remember the past of the Vermintide except for the few elders that have yet to be killed by their clan mates. Yet, they tell of the formation of the tide, of how four packs from the dark-down united to fight off an invasion of clicking things. For many moons they have fought off these creatures, these clickers, before inevitably they were driven off after one decision cost them greatly. Gik-Gik the Corrupted was the cause of their downfall for he saw the chance to gain power by allowing the clickers into their camp and slaughter many of their people. Unfortunately, his plan cost him his own life.

This event fractured the Vermintide and a Great War of the dark-under ensued. For many moons they fought and slaughtered each other along with the clickers before one rat, Qip the True Rat, led a reunification effort to bring the Vermintide back. Miraculously his plan worked, and the Vermintide was eventually brought back to life as the crusade against the clickers became the ringing call for all. However, like many of the Vermintide’s plans, it ended in disaster as they underestimated how much the clicker threat had grown and after the assault on Clicker-Home it became clear they needed to evacuate before the clicker’s assaulted them once more.

Eventually the settled in their barren land, and allowed themselves time to recover before finding it in themselves to raid nearby packs for their food and other necessities. Such is the lackluster the history of the Vermintide.

_Leadership

The Vermintide’s leadership is a cursed privilege to have as hungry upstarts feel they can take the throne when they want! Evidently, the Vermintide is ruled by one singular rat, the strongest and most ferocious of which, they tend to rule through fear and blackmail. Yet, that is of where the leadership stops, the Vermintide is a conglomerate of lacks that have been absorbed into one being, each pack has a leader, or officer, which enforces the will of the Primarch. At the same time, these officers pose the largest threat to the seat of power, and power is like food. Everyone wants it...

_{Territory and Resources}

While the Vermintide may control a large swath of territory, it is all barren and unsuitable for use to what most other packs would believe. This forces the Vermintide into conflict with any clan that lay claim next to it, or it forces the horde of rats to relocate and attack some pack that may be on the other side of the mall before they slump back to their barren home. Yet, it is not all barren for their home is a great ground for metal and miscellaneous building materials that the Vermintide barely uses for they are too simple minded to view it as more than gnawing-scraps.

_{Culture and Faith}

The Vermintide, while being a conglomerate of different packs, is not significantly divided culturally as many would believe as those who are born into the clan or wish to join must make an oath that the entire clan comes first. That being said, it is often ignored as treachery and blackmail run rampant throughout the entire clan as power is what everyone desires. The young are raised to be killers, to be cannibals like their parents, and to know that the weak are never allowed to thrive. Hence, the Vermintide is a powder keg that can ignite into civil war at any moment as officers clash with officers are try to destroy the Primarch’s power.

Such is their miserable lifestyle, the rats’ view outsiders with disdain as they grow jealous of their wealth and luxury. While others live in proper homes, many of their people must sleep in the open, where they are vulnerable to predators. That is why the Vermintide do not allow weakness within their clans, the weak are killed if they do not recover quickly and their bodies provide some food for the others, despite their greed. However, that does not mean they are without homes, there are just very few proper ones with many more ramshackle huts that are filled to the brim with rats.

Finally, the Vermintide spend their pastimes watching other rats duel, sleep, train, or simply do anything to stave off boredom, which would include plotting against their leaders. Yet, they have one Grand sport that they can call their own, something they have mastered, gladiatorial combat! It is one thing to watch a pair of unarmed rats fight but when you include weapons and determination of a slave wanting freedom, then you have a true Vermintide battle of unrelenting savagery! Blood! Death! Violence!

---

The Vermintide are believers of the “Faith of Fire”, yet they already have their own segmented belief of it. They fear fire, it has the ability to turn strong into weak and many into dead, numbers mean nothing to a wall of flame for it will consume them all. However, that is simply the majority of their pack, the other is the “Faith of the Creators” which still has its roots in the clan but it is not strong enough to last with the few members that do believe. Unfortunately, many unbelievers are killed for their heresy forcing the few creator worshipers to worship in secret.

_{Army and Warriors}

The Vermintide’s military is an impressive display when one puts in numbers and unrelenting savagery, but it is very ill equipped. Many rats are not armed at all, preferring to use claw and tooth to overtake their enemy, and often times it has worked for this large pack. It is not only their savagery, but also their desperation that drives them in battle, for if a horde were to lose then they would come back with little food and low morale, allowing their Smalls to starve to death.

While they may be poor equipped with but merely rags for armor, the Vermintide’s army has decent organization for its size and that is what allows the horde to move and fight as a singular wave. The army is divided into cohorts, which are lead personally by the officers, or the Primarch, which is then divided down further into ranks, which are typically lead by the biggest and the baddest of the bunch. Order of best equipment follows as such as well, the Primarch has the best equipment, followed by Officers, then the big bads and since they lack the ability to make things themselves, nearly all of their equipment is scavenged from the fallen.

For a bunch of stupid rats, they are surprisingly good at this kind of stuff.
