Seo offered the other students that came in only the briefest of glances as he flipped through the well-worn pages of his book. He wasn't really reading it though, his eyes skimming over the words without really gathering their meaning. It was an old story detailing the life of a young boy searching for his lost family, all the while avoiding the wiles of monstrous demon's looking to feast on his bones. Nothing more than a silly old folk tale, something that was read by children to teach them morals or impart lessons . . . and yet Seo probably would be lying if he hadn't felt a kinship with the young boy in the story when he was younger. Even now, as he glanced around, a slight swell of anxiety still coursed through him, though it was quickly pushed to the side as they were all called to gather with their new teachers.

The young orphan lagged behind the group as a whole, situated himself somewhere off to the side of the main group as he watched the former vigilantes introduce themselves. Seo held at least a passing familiarity with most of them, having even imitated their styles of heroism a few times himself. It had been a whim more than anything else, but apparently, it had been enough to get him noticed by this place or, at least, by Spacenaut. To say that Seo kind of idolized the man would not be incorrect, so having the recommendation to U.A. be from him was. . . strange to him. Not unpleasant, however. . .

Unless he's just trying to watch over any problematic freaks before they become a problem for him in the future. Seo couldn't help the creeping thoughts of cynical doubt that crept into his mind, souring his expression as his eyes fell back to his story, barely paying attention to the teachers after Spacenaut's first big speech. One guy was a military man, the other was a government guy, and there was some ditz of a woman that had come in late. Not really the vision of professionalism that most imagined from their teachers,

As the demonstrations started up, Seo kept inside of his bubble, glancing up every now and then while keeping most of his attention on his book. The fire guy seemed to be a blowhard, but nothing he couldn't deal with or ignore. . . at least, when he wasn't lighting up like an exposed gas line. The girl after seemed alright, if too cheery for him to want to deal with. He noted that she seemed to have better control of her quirk than most kids he'd met, however, tho he had no clue what the hell she was screaming or. He also caught that she ditzy teacher seemed to whisper to her afterward though. . . . curious.

After the punching girl, however, was a kid who Seo completely tuned out until one of the other teacher's firing a rocket. Lowering his book a bit to get a better look at the cause, he noted the wimpy-looking kid seemed to at least have good control of his quirk, which definitely seemed to be an ill-fit for such a pathetic individual. Two girls came after that didn't really do much personally to interest him aside from their quirks, one being a living slip and slide and the other a more classic manipulator type with a penchant for theatrics. And the last one was the girl who had checked in before him, seeming to have the ability to split herself in half. A neat power that would probably be more useful if she didn't seem to regress to half her size to use it.

When the next guy came up, all hyperactive and impatient, Seo couldn't help the small grimace that came over his face at the thought of dealing with them. However, when they suddenly hopped *into* the teacher, it took every ounce of his control not to jump out of sheer revulsion.

Note to self: Stay the fuck away from that kid. He shivered, closing the book for a moment as he tried to collect himself. By the time he got a hold of himself, the next person game up, a gyaru-lookin' girl who seemed content to just ramble on about something or other while she was on stage. To be honest, Seo was almost as tuned out with her as he was with the human firework show. . . until she nearly killed the lot of them by literally blowing her top mid-rant. Seo gave a sigh of relief, glad that Spacenaut was there to divert the lava spew, while also wondering what that girl was thinking. Did she have absolutely no control over her damn quirk?!?!

---

The armored man had been focusing on the demonstrations from the other students, but between two volunteers he had realized that Seo hadn't gone up yet and didn't look like he was going to. He had personally invited Seo to apply at UA, hoping that it would help him find his place in the world, but it wasn't going to work if he made no effort to involve himself in the program.
(ー_ー )
Spacenaut tapped his pointer finger against his wrist and out popped a spherical drone no bigger than a tennis ball. White around most of it's exterior but with a black lens similar to his helmet. It silently, subtly, weaved around the crowd to place itself in a hover in front of Seo. It spoke in a volume only audible to him.
"Hey, Yasuhide-kun. I think it's about time you went up there. You'll need to get acquainted with your classmates sooner or later, so give it a shot.

Seo didn't respond to the machine, but he didn't ignore it either as his book remained closed while it hovered in silence for a brief moment. He did refuse to look it in the eye(or lens in this case), keeping his faze low as he picked at some blades of grass. The drone gave a small nod towards the stage before zooming back to its master, the teacher probably hoping that this little nudge would help move the boy along.

As the drone flew away Seo gave a sigh of his own, glancing down at the worn book in his hand for a moment more before getting up with a muttered grumble under his breath.

"Might as well get it over with." He wrung his hands a bit as he got up, mind swirling as an idea sprung to mind of how to properly introduce himself.

After a few steps, he was on the stage wearing a mask of a grin as he took off his jacket and tossed it to the floor, rolling up the sleeves of his undershirt with a bit of a showy flair. Once that was done he turned to the crowd proper with an exaggerated bow. As he rose from it, however, a slight tug from his conscious made him wonder if he should really do this right now, but he shook the thought off as quickly as it came. There was no turning back now. Besides, what he had in mind was tame compared to what he would normally due to psych his classes out.

"Name's Yasuhide WhoTheFuckEvenCares, Quirk name is unimportant, and what it does is this." With a slight flourish, he flipped his hands over in a circular motion, wincing as lines of red sprung forth along his forearms. With another motion, he caused an array of flowing sanguine spikes to spill out from the cuts, following the pattern of wounds along his arms as they undulated and pulsed in rhythm to his beating heart. "Not as fancy as explosive orbs, water skates, or volcanic zits. . . but I make do. I'll tell ya tho, hurts like a bitch."

With a snap of his fingers the spikes crystallized into a translucent crimson crystal formation, and snapping them again turned them back into their normal liquid state the slowly retreated back into Seo's body. All that was left behind was a number of crisscrossing lines of red along his arms. Wringing the numbness out of his hands, Seo walked off the stage back to his spot, hissing a bit as the cuts started to sting a bit in the open air. Sneaking a glance towards the teachers, he was glad that his powers worked the way it did so the way he winced when he saw Spacenaut's digital expression likely was seen as a reaction to his cuts instead.

(꒪⌓꒪)

Welp, I definitely made an impression on him. Seo thought with a sigh, mentally cursing his inability to just go along with the program. Another curse soon followed(this one out loud) as the Ditzy teacher soon made her own displeasure known.

Noriko gasped at the demonstration, but it wasn't the blood that made her upset. Really, it was his indifferent attitude that upset her. She seemed a lot less excited about his quirk to this end, even frowning at the boy. "Seo-kun! Language, please! Your quirk is very interesting, but you should try to take this a little more seriously! No more of this attitude in class!" It was brief and felt more like scolding than the excited rant the others had gotten, but he had earned that for himself.

Just let it go. Seo told himself, even as his steps slowed to a stop halfway back to his previous spot. Don't snark back. It'll only dig the hole deeper. His voice of reason proved ineffective in stopping the gears in his head from churning out a quick response, the grin on his face as he turned back to Noriko made it quite clear that he was not at all ashamed of his actions.

"Oh come on , uh. . . Mori right? I'm pretty sure everyone here has heard much worse language than that just from our 'fan club' outside the front gates." The red along his arms filtered back into the air, coalescing into a construct of a hand flipping the teacher the bird as he turned away, the self-satisfied mask of a smile still firmly on his face as he made his way back. "I was just trying to keep things a bit light-hearted and besides, I'm not wrong. I doubt anyone here really cared that much about my little presentation."

With his piece said Seo recalled the construct back into his body while internally smashing his head against a wall. Did I have to also flip her off? No, no I didn't. Fucking hell. . . Again the boy mentally cursed himself as he fell back into his former seat, opening his book back to its previous page while also awaiting the punishment that would surely come after that brazen act of defiance and disrespect. Well. . . at least that should serve as enough of a deterrent to keep people from bugging me. . . silver linings and all that. . . ugh, what the hell is wrong with me.

<sub>And so the Emir Julian Ambrose Khan the First and Only, Bearer of the Sacred Key, Custodian of the Great Games, the Wisest and Noblest Ruler of All Suldan, died for the 17th time that could be remembered.

Three of the deaths had been assassinations, before would-be assassins finally learned that corporeal death was but a trifling matter to His Majesty. Several others had been sporting accidents. One was a duel that the Emir had insisted be to the death (he had later had the other duelist executed and their family sentenced to hard labor, for this was the Emir's way). Three of his deaths had been so unseemly that none dared speak of them even in whispers, for the walls of the royal palace had many ears.

This death however was from an overdose, his seventh such untimely demise. The Emir was a man of boundless appetites and little restraint, and he indulged in the all the worldly pleasures his station afforded him with the zest of one for whom death had no everlasting sting. However when he emerged from the decanting berth this 17th time it was immediately apparent that something had gone terribly wrong. The Sacred Key had been corrupted, bent and twisted by a viral agent, and the Emir's glorious form was desecrated beyond repair.

Worse than even that, though, was without the Sacred Key the planet's many defenses which had been constructed to keep Suldan safe from those who might oppose the Emir's glorious rule lay dormant and inoperable. In a panic the gilded Lords and Ladies who had built their court around the Emir's magnificence attempted the impossible, thinking to break their way past the security locks like craven thieves in order to save themselves, but the Emir's defense grid was far more cunning than any of them and it was just as ruthless as its master.

Reprisal was swift and thorough. Even as the defense grid chastised them for their hubris it turned its tungsten spears against them, raining destruction from on high. Within minutes the royal palace was no more, a cloud of dust and flame rising above the shining city of Hadiqa, capital of Suldan and seat of all light and culture. More spears fell shortly thereafter, shaking the foundations of the city in an admonition to those who also might think themselves above the Emir's unassailable law.

And so with his body broken but his noble spirit undiminished, the Emir and those still loyal to him left Hadiqa ahead of the ravening wolves howling at the gates, retreating into the badlands beyond the city to gather his strength and plan for his eventual return.</sub>

Seo watched the crowd, no, the mob with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, adjusting the carrier bag with all of his supplies slightly as it dug into his shoulder. Dressed in his usual clothes, he was under no worries of the mob suddenly turning their frustrations on him as he observed, looking to all the world as just another curious onlooker. The trouble at the gates was pretty much going as most would expect, but it seemed that one of the students heading for the side gates had gotten into a bit of an altercation with a few of the seniors. While Seo was too far away to see what was said, he could hazard a guess, and chuckled as the potential thugs were sent scattering when the student exploded into a torrent of fire. Little overkill, but whatever it takes to send the message, I guess.

"At least I know this year won't be dull." The youth muttered, taking a moment to stretch out before making his way to the side gate where they were all supposed to go, twirling a few strands of hair between his fingers as he idly wondered what kind of circus had been gathered so far.

---

Seo couldn't help but raise an eye at some of the others but held his tongue for the moment as he let people introduce themselves. The teacher themselves seemed. . . odd, to say the least, but given the nature of the class, it was really to be expected. He dragged slowly behind one girl, giving her time to introduce herself before stepping forward himself. Once he was within talking range, however, he'd merely give a short wave to them all(more of a mock salute really) with his ID in hand before falling into the seat next to the girl who'd arrived before him. Riffling through one of his pockets, he pulled out a sucker to pop into his mouth, before opening his bag to pull out a book. Flipping it open to he found a dog-eared page, licking his thumb before he set to straightening it back out. Once he'd done that, he set himself to the task of picking up where he'd last left off in the story, absently beginning to chew on his bottom lip as he threw himself into whatever the story was.

NAME

Yasuhide Seo

GENDER

Male

AGE

15 - "You tell me. . . but I figure sometime in April?"

APPEARANCE

Height:5'5

Weight:125lbs

Fashion Sense:Seo tends to dress in layers. Form-fitting long sleeves under baggy and ripped graphic T-shirts, often with a thick jacket over it depending on the weather. Pants tend to be either slightly torn-up jeans or sturdy work pants with a lot of pockets, usually filled with some sort of snack food.

Distinguishing Features:Aside from being a bit pale, Seo doesn't really have anything about him that makes him a standout in a crowd.

PERSONALITY

Seo tries to be a quiet kid, usually keeping to himself with a book of some kind. He's not the type to try and make friends(or even conversation if he can help it), but will often draw attention to himself through his inability to keep his opinions to himself. No matter what the situation or how much trouble it's likely to get him in, Seo will snark anyone and everyone he feels deserves it at any given moment that he isn't reading or sleeping. To this end, he has become rather observant and perceptive over the years, always looking for some flaw or shortcoming to point out on any person he finds himself facing against at any given time.

Despite being an anti-social shit and borderline delinquent, Seo does have a few good points. While there are many cases where he claims to not care for people or that he finds the idea of being a hero for people who'd sooner see him locked in a cage to be nothing but a pipe dream, many of the times where he got into trouble for fights is by picking them with bullies that were harassing fellow students at any of his schools. He also proves to be a rather good student when he attends his classes, consistently getting passing marks on all his exams despite often skipping classes entirely, as well as having to constantly switch schools due to being ferried to different foster families. Plus, he's a cat person, and how bad can someone be if cats like them.

HISTORY

Seo is an orphan and has been in the system since he was 3. His parents, either unable or unwilling to deal with him after his quirk had developed, dropped him off at an orphanage in Tokyo, neither even looking in his direction as they left. It would take another 5 years before the fact that he had been abandoned really sunk in for Seo, making his initial time very difficult as he took to acting out and doing everything he could to make any family that took him into to send him back. Often, it didn't take much more than a few lash outs with his quirk to achieve that effect.

As a result, during his years in the Tokyo orphanage system, he drifted in and out of families with rapidity. His reputation grew worse and worse, making the families willing to even take a chance on him when he mellowed out few and far between, and his quirk serving to isolate him from many of his fellows in the orphanage, even those who also possessed quirks of their own.

School was hardly any better, his status as an orphan and a quirk user already set him apart from the majority of other students, creating a feeling of loneliness that only grew stronger once the details of what his ability actually did came to light. Early years of attempting to make friends often ended in misunderstandings and disaster, and over time, the pain of isolation dulled into the dull throb of apathy. Once he came into his teens, he came to embrace that this was just his lot in life, no matter what he did. And so he embraced the role he had been given, doing his best to antagonize anyone and everyone he met, to take on the mantle of the villain that he was often labeled into. He got into fights, he skipped class, engaged in casual vandalism, ran away from home after home, and seemed as if he was trying his hardest to send his future into a nosedive no matter what.

However, luckily for him, he had a person watching him that saw through his charade of villainy. He saw Seo for the hurt, scared kid that he was, lashing out the only way he knew how while also working to help others anyway It was this hero that pushed for Seo to enter the program, despite the reservations of those looking over his records. He was convinced that the kid wasn't bad, just in need of a guiding hand to lead him down the right path and that he deserved the chance to prove that at the very least. it took some doing, but eventually, Seo was notified of the transfer to this new school. To him, it doesn't seem like much. Just another school to add to the list, just one that had a higher number of freaks like himself. Still, when reading the reasoning for his acceptance. . . he couldn't help but feel a slight pang of warmth, no matter how much he tried to tell himself otherwise.

QUIRK

Short Quirk explanation: Sanguine Surgeon- Seo has the ability to manipulate his blood in a variety of ways, both to duel his foes with precise strikes or to help stabilize and heal his allies. That said, he constantly has to be careful how much he uses his ability less he suffer from the dangers of rapid blood loss.

OTHERS

Rookie med student- Seo has taken a great interest in the medical field throughout his life, at one point hoping to be a doctor before his current state of mind developed.
Is actually pretty smart, just doesn't apply himself

QUIRK

Short Quirk explanation: Sanguine Surgeon- Seo has the ability to manipulate his blood in a variety of ways, both to duel his foes with precise strikes or to help stabilize and heal his allies. That said, he constantly has to be careful how much he uses his ability less he suffer from the dangers of rapid blood loss.

In depth Quirk Details***:Sanguine Surgeon is an all-around ability that can be used in both offensive and supportive capacities. For offense, Seo is able to harden his blood into small, simplistic constructs(edges, points, serrations, etc.) that he can control within a radius of 2m out. The strength of these constructs is determined by how much iron is present in his blood at the time. Conversely, he can also alter the acidity of his blood, again dependent on his diet, tho this ability depends on how many acidic foods he had consumed in the past few days. At present he can't use these effects in conjunction with each other, nor is either affect particular strong at present. His constructs are able to pierce and cut flesh with some effort, but don't work as well against tougher materials, nor can they currently withstand many impacts before dispersing back into a liquid state. Likewise, making his blood acidic can only cause a painful, but not overly severe chemical burn when applied to the skin and has little effect against most inanimate objects.

Supportively, he can provide an instant transfusion to people who need it no matter who he's giving it too due to being O-. However, beyond that, Seo's ability seems to be capable of much more when injected into a living individual. As his blood circulates through their body, he can get a reading on their overall level of health and can start shifting the blood cells to change into another form entirely, allowing him to heal wounds by having his transformed blood shift into a cell of the appropriate type needed to heal. This can be quite taxing on him as his current conversion rate is far from perfect and thus the wounds he can heal at the moment are minimal at best, so currently it's more cost effective for him to stabilize someone by making sure they don't bleed out via forming a type of 'blood bandage around the wound' rather than outright healing it. Note that once the cells have been altered, he can no manipulate them as they're now apart of their patient's body.

On top of all this, his quirk comes with a slight mutation that has lead to having a higher quantity of blood compared to the average persona, as well as faster blood cell production, as a result, his veins and heart are similarly enhanced to better deal with the strain of his quirk.

Quirk Development: There are a couple of ways the Sanguine Surgeon can be taken, either in refining his combat abilities by enhancing the power of his constructs and acid to a much more typically super-human capability, learning to use the two in tandem, or even being able to control his blood in a gaseous form. On the other hand, he could focus on improving the efficacy of his healing skills as well, allowing him to be a more effective support unit to other heroes, even going so far as to improve their bodies by creating reinforcing their muscles or bones with enhanced versions of their previous cells.

A third option that I'll likely not go into unless Seo turns villain(and thus effectively becomes an NPC) is playing more on blood puppeteer type memes or having him work to affect blood other than his own by introducing his own blood into a host to act as a sort of virus that allows him to alter their blood to a lesser degree.

In any case, these all represent paths that he can take, and while it's possible for him to focus on both offense and support, his ability to progress in either skill will
likely be stunted as a result when compared to if he focuses on one of the other, making him a better all-around hero, if not one that can solo-carry.

Smaller boosts would be increasing the range that he can wield his blood, how deftly he can move it in reaction to stimuli(currently requires a hand motion to help direct the motion, causing a slight delay in its movements) and . . . I think that's about it.

Tsume let out a light yawn, the rhythmic tapping of fat raindrops on her umbrella proving an effective sleep-aid for the energetic girl, the dreariness of the day compounding with the exhaustion brought about by her fight with Sawako earlier.

"Stupid Sawako-san, making me wear this tight thing for my graduation. . . I bet no one else is going to be weary stuff like this. . . . ugggh." The young kunoichi groaned in distress at her predicament, feet stomping angrily against the dirt road when she spotted a familiar figure through the rain. It took her a second to recognize them, though once she did, a loud cheer would follow as she jogged over to catch her white-haired classmate in a one-armed headlock. "HIIIII Peichan!! I see you're on your way to the graduation ceremony too, right!?"

Still holding the boy in a tight grip, she looked around, the excited grin turning into a rather mystified look as she released him so they could talk properly.

"Hey, where's the, uh, the redhead that's always stuck to your side like glue? Not often I see ya by yourself."

@Grey
