Crash Course! - A Boku no Hero Academia RP

Reina stood with her hands balled and stuck deep into her jacket pockets. She stared at the shifting crowd ahead of her uncomfortably, glancing over at her father next to her as the man cleared his throat. He looked as incredulous as she felt.

"Wow, guess you're something of a celebrity now, Rein," he said.

The girl looked back to the crowd without replying. She had suspected that something like this might eventually happen--a sensible occurence when one associates with one of the most popular heroes in the country. She had even thought about how she should carry and present herself in front of cameras, to start building her image as a hero on the right foot.

This though... it was a little much, and a little soon. While the crowd wasn't necessarily there for her, she was part of the reason for it, and there was little doubt she'd be veritably swarmed the moment she stepped towards the building and was recognized.

Reina's father spoke again, breaking her from her thoughts.

"I'll walk with you to the door, alright?" he said, the concern in his voice apparent--at the moment, the girl wasn't doing a great job of hiding her nerves.

She shook her head. "No, it's okay." She gave her father a small smile, as reassuring as she could manage, and he nodded in response, understanding. She wanted her first public appearance as a potential hero to be as strong as she could manage; appearing to be babysat during it wouldn't help.

Reina wasn't ready for this, she thought, but before letting herself hesitate she gave her father a small wave and started to quickly make her way into the crowd and to the hero agency. Her thoughts focused on her quirk, keeping her gravitational field as close to neutral as possible--she found herself dreading the thought of slipping up and causing someone to lose their balance and injure themselves, especially now of all times.

"Excuse me," she said repeatedly as she pushed through the crowd, apologizing as her orbs made contact with people. She swallowed hard, keeping her head down as she strained to keep her gravity as consistently weak as possible.

"Ms. Mori? Ms. Reina Mori!"

As focused on her quirk as she was, she jumped slightly at being called out by name, turning her head quickly to see a middle-aged woman with a microphone being followed by a camera man.

Here we go... she thought, preparing herself to speak as confidently as she could. She could make a good first impression, she had too.

And then she realized she had turned tail and was pushing through the crowd directly away from the reporter that had recognized her.

"Ms. Mori! the reporter called again, clearly trying to catch up.

What... what the hell was wrong with her? Reina had made direct eye contact with the reporter. It was completely clear she had seen the woman and knew she was calling to her. The girl tried to stuff her hands further into her pockets, feeling trapped by the decision she had taken with no thought. She really didn't feel like facing the reporter after that, but the woman wasn't giving up, having called Reina's name two more times already.

Annoyingly persistent. Reina bit the corner of her mouth in embarrassed frustration and decided it was best to cut her losses. Fighting to keep herself from visibly shaking, she turned around to face the camera that was following her.

The girl's eyes widened as she saw there were three cameras pushing towards her now, as well as two more reporters--the first reporter's yelling had brought some extra greatly unwanted attention clearly.

Weak gravity, weak gravity, weak gravity...

Reina all but shut down as they pounced on her, a deer caught in the headlights as three competing questions came at once. It took all she had to fight the instinct to push them all away with her quirk. Why were they interested in her, of all people? Surely there were others recruited by Tumble that were more deserving of the attention of these cameras.

"Excuse me?..." she managed, having understood none of the overlapping questions through the noise of the crowd.

All three came at the same time again, causing a twinge of annoyance to replace some of the anxiety that had gripped the girl. Her eyes narrowed and she managed to look the reporters in the eyes.

"One at a time," she said, far more forcefully than she thought she could manage, even taking the reporters aback slightly--that was fine, forceful was better than pathetically meek. She eyed the first reporter who had found her, indicating she had the first question.

The first two questions were nothing much. The woman asked about the incident Reina had been caught up in a month before, and the second reporter asked for her thoughts on what Tumble was trying to accomplish with the sudden recruitment of her and the others. Reina answered them as best she could, settling down quickly as she began to force herself to get over the fact that she didn't feel like this attention was deserved. She wasn't as eloquent as she would've hoped, but she thought she at least didn't make a fool of herself. She turned to the third reporter to hear him out.

"You've been rejected by numerous high-profile hero academies in the past--how does it feel to be picked up by Tumble despite that?" he asked.

The girl stopped, glancing away from him immediately as the sting of the question hit. These people had really dug into her past. A part of a hero's job that she'd have to accept if she hoped to become one... but it felt violating.

Why do you care?

I'm nobody.

I know I shouldn't be here.

I know I'm not strong enough.

Reina bit her lip, at least raising her head but looking away from the cameras as she answered.

"I'm grateful to her for the chance. I'll work hard to try not to waste it." Professional and truthful, if a little curt. The girl had plenty more to say, but now was not the time--if there even was any appropriate time to voice her thoughts.

She wanted to be elsewhere now more than ever. With an unenthusiastic nod of farewell to the reporters, she quickly made an exit through the crowd towards the hero agency, hoping they'd leave her alone.

Reina Mori

[NAME]

Reina Mori

[GENDER]

Female

[AGE]

17

[PERSONALITY]

Reina is reserved due to a lack of self-confidence and deep-seated general feeling of inferiority brought on in recent years. Her quirk has naturally led to her being left alone most of her life due to the trouble it tends to cause, and she's become quick to snap lightly at those who suggest anything she might not like. When she speaks, she tends to be blunt and to the point, mostly in an effort to not take up too much of other's time.

This mildly abrasive personality is more of a defense mechanism than anything, and it's not difficult to see her more 'true' nature beneath it after spending a bit of time around her. The girl finds genuine interest in other people, and while she hasn't made many real friends in her life, it's not for lack of want. She has an overwhelmingly strong sense of justice, naturally wanting to help people for as long as she can remember, and will absolutely go out of her way to do so however she can. She's the first to admit she's not totally selfless, though, and she often finds herself feeling guilty over the fact that she craves recognition for anything she does--these feelings don't help her surface-level abrasiveness and leads to her often pushing people away in attempts to convince herself she doesn't need that recognition, making it hard to become close to her.

Contrary to her quiet persona, Reina also has a usually well-concealed fire within her. When something catches her interest and she acts like she has something to prove to the world, for better or for worse, it takes a lot to get her to focus elsewhere. This trait is one of the reasons she can sometimes act like a bit of an endearing dork, moreso around people she's grown comfortable with due to her dropping her guard without realizing.

[BACKSTORY]

Reina is an only child from a very ordinary family--something strange in such a world. With a quirkless mother and a father with the ability to weakly adjust the gravitational field of a single object at a time, it took no one by surprise when it seemed that Reina was the owner of a weak quirk that caused her personal gravity to be strong enough to annoy her and those around her, but not strong enough to do anything useful beyond getting food off the top shelf without having to grab a chair.

As Reina went through her formative years, like most children her age, she took an interest in the profession of heroes. For several years, she aimed to be accepted into a top hero school, putting everything she had into preparing herself for that.

It wasn't enough. Unable to make progress with her quirk without any guidance, she was rejected by schools with good reputations one-by-one. Those few who had been supporting her made excuses for her--'your's was a tough, hyper-competitive year' and the like. It didn't change the fact that she wasn't good enough.

Having always been a quiet girl, she began to close up even more. Deciding she simply shouldn't be a hero, she chose to listen to her parent's advice to avoid any of the smaller, no-name hero academies and instead go to a more prestigious traditional school.

'There's no shame in it, the world needs lawyers and business owners as much as it needs heroes,' her parents would say.

But there was shame in it. Reina had tried--she'd done everything she could, and it wasn't good enough.

The next few years went by, various obsessions that grabbed her attention coming and going, but through it all her interest in heroes stayed true. She kept up to date on the scene, and despite hating how it hurt to know she couldn't become one, she couldn't stop herself. It was the one obsession that had never faded from the day it had taken her, and she couldn't shake it if she tried. Never admitting it to herself, deep down she knew she harbored the faintest hope and longing that she might get a second chance.

Only a month ago, Reina made a sudden breakthrough with her quirk. revealing it's potential to be far greater than previously thought. A harmless late-night trip to a convenience store turned into a terrifying experience when a gun-toting, regenerating villain made an appearance, on the run from heroes. Reina was grabbed to be used as a hostage, but before anything else could happen, in her panic, she had used her quirk to push away the villain through the glass door he had come from. The dazed man was quickly apprehended and the heroes on scene had apparently taken note of Reina, one even coming up to speak with her while she was being tended to and calmed down by a paramedic.

The next few weeks went by uneventfully after that incident, though Reina began to experiment more with her quirk, the desire to become a hero burning stronger within her than it had in a long time. On the surface, she continued to go to school, study as much as she could stomach, and help her parents keep the house in order.

[QUIRK]

Solar System - Reina's personal gravitational field is far stronger than normal, and she has some control over it. In the quirk's default state, when Reina isn't making any effort to consciously manipulate it, its pull can be felt at least weakly up to several metres away. Standing directly next to her in this default would feel like a constant firm push towards her.

Reina can increase and decrease the force of this pull, and during her encounter with the villain, discovered that decreasing the force enough will cause her gravitational field to repulse instead of attract. Like most quirks, this manipulation is similar to any other muscle in her body in that she can train it to increase her maximum strength and endurance when using it. Due to the indiscriminate nature of this ability, it can be detrimental to use in team situations without proper coordination and communication.

Finally, Reina has exactly seven black-coloured orbs lazily orbiting around her, each only about an inch in diameter. She's spent her life thinking of them as only a useless inconvenience, but that was shown for the first time to not be entirely true during the villain incident. In her panic, she had managed to 'activate' one of the orbs, an ability she had never even considered as a possibility. The active orb grew to the size of a volleyball and gained its own strong gravitational field. Like her own gravity, Reina had been able to adjust the push and pull the orb exerted, as well as telekinetically control it within her personal gravitational field's sphere of influence. Since the incident, however, she hasn't been able to use the ability again at all in her experimentations, and the orbs are back to being for show. It's a point of great frustration, but the knowledge that there's more to her quirk than she had ever previously thought only strengthens her drive to become a hero.

A side effect of her quirk is a 'greying' of her skin and clothes as she uses it, the effects reverting after a while of no use. The more force she's exerting, the darker she becomes, appearing to literally lose any visible colour on her body. Presumably, this will end up with her appearing as nothing more than a pitch-black silhouette.

[SKILLS]

Productive obsessions - When something grabs her interest, Reina will focus on it and learn everything about it until she reaches a competent understanding and she gets bored of it. Anything goes--from fighting games, to chess, to volleyball, to math--it just has to be something she can impress people with.

Multitasker - Unable to dedicate all of her time to the single thing that has her attention at a given moment (lest the rest of her life falls apart), Reina has become adept at focusing on multiple things at once. Important homework due but she's completely absorbed in teaching herself animation? Doing both at the same time is the correct option.

Athletic - She's made a habit of working out from the time she became interested in becoming a hero, and it's stuck despite her failures. Along with the occasional obsession with specific sports, Reina is deceptively athletic for her small frame.

[SAMPLE POST]

Reina stood just outside her home's front entrance, heavy drops of rain battering her umbrella loudly. She took in the smell of the rain, letting out an almost content sigh--poor weather by most people's standards, but it seemed to help keep her in a relatively good mood despite a long school day.

She looked down at the envelopes in her hand, given to her not thirty seconds earlier by the mail man--she had coincidentally gotten home right as he was heading up to her door. One of the envelopes caught her eye, looking fancier than the others. Careful not to drop her umbrella, she flipped through the bills and advertisements to bring the interesting envelop to the top of the pile.

And her heart stopped for a moment.

Tumble. The letter was from the hero's agency.

Reina stared, wide-eyed, unsure what to make of it, telling herself not to hope for too much. She ordered herself to not expect anything. She wouldn't let her stupid fantasy hurt her like that. She stuffed the rest of the mail into her sweater's pocket, taking one more look at the envelope in her shaking hands. She swallowed hard, scolding herself as she began to open it. Despite everything she was telling herself, she couldn't keep from hoping for something. Reina Mori simply wasn't good enough. And painfully stupid too, if this hope of hers was any indication. It was probably just a request for information on the villain she had encountered. That made sense.

Her eyes began to scan the freed letter, and she could only stare and re-read it again and again, not believing its contents. Finally, it seemed to sink in, and the girl found herself beginning to cry. Weak in the knees, she let herself fall to her rear, fighting back tears and wiping away any that managed to escape.

She couldn't keep herself from smiling to no one as she read the letter again, gripping it tightly as though it were her dream itself.

A hero as great as Tumble was offering to take someone like Reina under her wing. The teen paused, mulling that over, some of the euphoria she was feeling fading a bit. All it had taken for an invitation like this was a random chance breakthrough with her quirk, revealing it as one with potential to be strong--but all the work she had put in years before hadn't been enough. There was an unfairness to it, and on top of that the girl felt like she didn't truly deserve this invitation.

She swallowed hard, reading it one more time. She hadn't done anything in three whole years with the intention of preparing herself to be a hero. This letter was something she no longer deserved--it belonged to her younger self.

Reina wiped away another pair of tears, hanging her head as she sunk deeper into her thoughts. Anger at herself flared, and she bit the corner of her mouth hard, the pain focusing her. She didn't deserve the letter, but she had it now. She owed it to her younger self--and to Tumble herself--to accept the offer and do everything she could to retroactively deserve it.

The girl climbed slowly to her feet, finally opening the door to her house and escaping from the rain.

She felt it--the fire of her obsession being stoked. She had been given her second chance, and now she just had to ignore the fear of not being good enough again.

[OTHERS]

- Reina's been hit in the face by small objects often thanks to her quirk. All it takes is a moment of forgetting her surroundings or a split-second lapse in keeping her gravitational field weak and bam.
- Her favourite song at the moment, a character theme of sorts.

She can telekinetically control it within her gravitational field's sphere of influence, and like with her own gravity, she can manipulate the strength of the orb's pull and push. The gravity of the orb only effects herself if she completely neutralizes her own gravitational field. She's experimented a bit with activating two orbs at the same time, but the ability is a taxing one, both mentally and physically, meaning she hasn't managed it for more than a few seconds before a stabbing headache forces her to shut down both orbs. Even a single orb is difficult to maintain for more than a half-dozen minutes.

A side effect of her quirk is a 'greying' of her skin and clothes as she uses it, the effects reverting after a while of no use.

Hey Windel, sorry for disappearing like I did. I got solidly slapped in the face by life a couple times, but I should have said I'd be gone for a while.

Anyways, if this is still going, and I've still got a spot, I'd like to try hopping back in if that's alright with you.

Now I feel like an ass. I've been having some problems IRL, so I don't know why the hell I tried to rush this out. I see my mistakes, and will be backing out of this due to feeling like a piece of shit. If you guys want to continue this yourselves, go ahead, I'm just going to sit here and learn from my mistakes.

Don't feel bad. Everyone's overreacting. Tone and voice doesn't carry perfectly through text, and for whatever reason a few people assumed you were angry and rude when - to me, at least - it was clear you weren't.

So you didn't clarify how mages use magic, whatever. Someone brought it up, and you took the suggestion and fixed it. The people bitching about having to make minor changes to their character sheets are the kind of people you should just ignore. If they can't spare five extra minutes, you can bet they won't be active during the actual RP.

Honestly, the only thing you've done "wrong" is giving broad statements about what's wrong in general with the submitted character sheets, instead of looking at each sheet individually and telling the player what they need to change to get accepted.

Fu Sonzai no Gensō: An Urban Fantasy Mystery RP

VitaVitaAR said
Okay, it's a bit late so I might be missing something, but it doesn't look like his spells involve actual spells. More just touching the objects. There needs to be some kind of spell there, even if he recites it in his head. It's how Western Magic(and onmyodo sort of) work.

So all I need to do is add some sort of incantation? The way his magic works beyond that is fine? That should be simple enough to add, I just need to think of something for him to say.

Oh, and can a Magi recite an incantation once and use the corresponding spell multiple times without having to re-say the incantation, or would that require a Magic Trait?

Fu Sonzai no Gensō: An Urban Fantasy Mystery RP

I had a hard time writing up his personality, for whatever reason, but here it is.

Name: Nathan Patel
Age: 22

Appearance

Personality:
Nathan tends to seem like an aloof person who's always kind of out-of-it. This is because he's always visualizing the room he is in from every possible angle, due to his magic.
This constant focus on his surroundings means he'll often miss bits of conversation, giving others the impression that he's an airhead. He's kind to his colleagues, and is always willing to help them out.

He's also quite competitive, a result of all the time he spent with his older brother. If he had his way, he'd be the one to solve every case the agency got. Receiving praise and recognition from his colleagues and superiors is one of the things he lives for.

He strongly believes in the law, and will get violent and angry with criminals no matter their reasons for doing what they did. You commit a crime, you're considered scum in his book. He does everything he can to keep innocent people safe, but if he has to endanger lives to catch a criminal, he will if he feels it's worth it. Above all though, he will listen to a superior's orders, no matter how he may feel about them.

Abilities:
Nathan's affinity is Gravity, specializing in 'control' magic. His spell repertoire is extremely limited, as he is only capable of using two spells effectively. And even those two spells are just variations of the same thing.

Both spells involve placing 'seals' on any object. When placing a seal, Nathan decides how to change the way gravity pulls on it. Will up be down? Will it go shooting forwards? Alternatively, he can give the object it's own gravitational pull, though this requires far more magic. The more seals he places on an object, the stronger the effect.

When touching an object, he can place a seal on it instantly. As the distance between him and the object grows, however, the length of time needed to place a seal on it exponentially increases.

Finally, he can place seals and leave them dormant until he wants them to activate. This allows him to set traps and the like.

Despite only having two spells, he can hold his own in a fight by getting creative. His favorite thing to do is to place seals on himself, as he can do so quickly and without a second thought. For example, in a hand-to-hand fight, he can place a seal on his first and change it's gravitational pull to give his punches extra strength and speed. He'll also change his gravity to help him move out of the way of oncoming hits, jump higher, and survive high falls, among other things.

Weapons/Equipment:
Nathan always has plenty of coins on him that he'll place seals on to turn them into surprise projectiles. He also has a basic magazine-fed handgun.

Brief Backstory:

Nathan was born in London, England to a family full of magi, the second eldest of five children. As his father was always away due to his job, Nathan and his older brother, Isaac, were the only boys in the house. The two stuck together and spent a lot of time with each other as a result of this.

After turning 18 and graduating, Nathan joined the local police force and began to study part time at a nearby college, majoring in accounting.

During this time, Isaac developed an obsession with Yokai, and went to Japan to see them in person. Soon after, the family lost contact with him, and eventually believed him to be dead, though no body could be found.

Unable to accept that Isaac was gone, Nathan quit his job and schooling, leaving for Japan to search for him. His family was opposed to this, but he largely ignored them.
