Indulge the creation of a not so old lady?

While I really like the descriptions for each of the elements, I think that I'm still most interested in Aether, with Fire as a close second. :3

Indulge the creation of a not so old lady?

This sounds intriguing! I'm particularly interested in the Aether element from the description above, although Fire would be a close second.

@Decius Shade Sounds good to me as well.

Boku no Hero: Hands-On Experience

@Tominas So, here's Tatsu again. :3 I just changed her background to indicate that she's going to America. If you would prefer I change it a little more, that's fine. Just let me know.

Tatsuko Kanashiro

[Appearance]

_{Height: 4’0” (1.22 m)
Weight: 58 lbs (26.31 kg)}

Name: Kanashiro, Tatsuko (Tatsu)
Gender: Female
Age: 14

Personality:

Tatsu is a fairly cheerful, energetic individual who tries to look on the bright side and avoid taking anything too seriously. Her confidence in herself and her upbeat, easy-going attitude make it so that she usually finds it pretty easy to make friends and/or meet new people. Unfortunately, Tatsu tends to be a rather reserved individual, so it can be hard for her friends to get to know her well. She just doesn’t really like talking about herself at all, though she’s usually willing to listen to others.

Tatsu is also a very spontaneous individual, as she rarely plans ahead or thinks things through before making a decision. This means that it can be kind of hard for her friends to keep up with her, as it’s not uncommon for her to suddenly make a lot of progress on a project of hers or pick up a new hobby. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, Tatsu tends to be a logically minded individual, and she often has a hard time understanding the emotions of others. This lack of empathy, of course, often leads to Tatsu coming across as insensitive, even though there’s rarely any actual malice in her actions.

Though Tatsu is usually content to just go with the flow, she can be incredibly stubborn if she feels that she’s being criticized or restricted in some way. As such, she is rather prone to breaking rules that she feels are pointless and ignoring advice, even if it comes from people who are close to her. Because of these habits, she tends to be labelled as a troublemaker by authority figures, though it’s not like she particularly wants to cause trouble.

Background:

Tatsu was born to Iruto and Amaya Kanashiro in Kitakyushu, Japan. Shortly after she was born, it became apparent that she wasn’t growing as quickly as she should have been. After running a few tests, her family’s doctor concluded that she had a growth hormone deficiency and that she was allergic to the treatments. This meant that she would always be significantly smaller than her peers and that she would be lucky to end up being much taller than four feet.

Knowing just how cruel kids could be to those that were different, and fearing that their daughter might end up being bullied in school, Tatsu’s parents, though occasionally a little too overprotective for her tastes, tried their hardest to encourage their daughter to pursue her interests and talents. As such, when Tatsu’s quirk manifested itself around the age of four, her parents were incredibly supportive. They never tried to stop her from just casually using her ability, and instead aimed to teach her to avoid using it irresponsibly.

Likewise, when she showed an interest in learning how to work with wood and metal like her father, a carpenter by trade, he allowed her to help him out in his workshop while teaching her about the tools and techniques that he used in his craft. Once her father felt that she was capable enough, he allowed her to work on her own projects, under his supervision of course. It was this freedom to pursue what she found interesting that led to Tatsu’s love of trying new things, especially ones that involve working with her hands.

When Tatsu decided that she wanted to apply to to the Apprenticeship program in America because she felt that it would be a good idea to learn how to better control her abilities and that participating in heroics sounded like fun, her parents were supportive as well. And so, with their encouragement, Tatsu eventually found herself on her way to New York.

Quirk: Mind over Matter

Tatsu’s quirk enables her to move objects with her mind. In order to manipulate an object, Tatsu needs to be able to either see it or touch it. This condition really only applies when she begins manipulating an object, however, as she’s essentially touching the object psychically once it’s wrapped in telekinetic energy.

It’s estimated that the maximum amount of weight that she can lift at once is around 500 lbs, though she’s currently only able to lift around 100 lbs due to her inexperience. The size of the object(s) also limit how fast she can move them. The tiers are broken down roughly as follows:

• If they’re close to the maximum weight she can lift, she’ll only be able to move them slowly.
• If they’re about half the maximum weight she can lift, she’ll be able to move them at about a walking pace, or a slight jog if she pushes herself.
• Objects that are about a fifth of the maximum weight she can lift can be thrown with some speed, but it’s like throwing a beach ball for her.
• Objects that are about a twentieth of the maximum weight she can lift can be thrown with as much speed as a professional pitcher’s fastball.

Tatsu also finds it incredibly difficult to use telekinesis on people (so long as they’re alive anyway). This means that the most she could manage would be slowing down a punch or a kick, though it would require a large amount of energy. The only exception to this rule is her own body. As such, she’s able to lift herself in a makeshift sort of flight or use telekinesis to add force to a punch or kick. At the moment, however, she is incapable of making herself fly. The most she can do is slow down how fast she's falling, which results in a sort of gliding ability. It's important to note that she is currently able to use telekinesis to boost the speed and strength of her movements, however.

Though it kind of goes without saying, using her abilities fatigues Tatsu both mentally and physically. When lifting the maximum amount of weight that she can, she’s only able to last for around 5 to 10 minutes before she drops from exhaustion. On the other hand, she could lift really light objects and hold them for several hours before she really begins to feel the fatigue.

Talents and Skills:

• Good with her hands (DIY projects, metal/wood working, electronics, etc.)
• Rollerskating
• Not sure where else to put this, but Tatsu is blue-green color blind (tritanopia). This means that she often mixes up the colors blue and green, as well as yellow and purple.

I'd be interested in joining this. :D

I don't have any really strong preferences for the time period, but I'm leaning more towards pre-Phantom Menace.

How To Be A Hero - A My Hero Academy RP

Tatsu was rather pleased to find that the group of students she had been following was willing to let her tag along with them as they searched for a boxing ring to spar in. Getting to know them and befriending them seemed like it would be a lot more fun than spending the day alone. After a few moments of introductions, the pink-haired girl who had introduced herself as Eir, exclaimed that she had found the location of the boxing ring on the map, pointing out the direction that they should start walking.

The walk to the room with the boxing rings was pretty uneventful, though Tatsu was able to catch glimpses into other rooms with a variety of training equipment as the group walked passed. Her guess that the rest of the school’s facilities would be as impressive as the outdoor training area seemed like it had been a good one so far. At the very least, it certainly seemed that they had gone all out with the training facilities, a perception that was only cemented in Tatsu’s mind as the group entered the boxing room and saw the arrangement of rings.

As Tatsu approached the main ring with her new acquaintances, the relative quiet was shattered by a loud howling. Jumping at the sound, Tatsu turned to see a massive wolfman laughing and puffing on a cigarette as he walked over to their group. Shortly after he introduced himself as Mako Nahino and asked if anyone wanted to fight, the two taller individuals in their group stepped forward to ask him questions and indicate that they wanted to spar with one another.

While the others waited for the match to begin in earnest, another boy with roughly the same hair color as Tempest stepped over to her and introduced himself as Iccho Matsuo before explaining that he missed her name. ”Oh, I’m Tatsuko Kanashiro,” Tatsu replied with a grin. ”It’s a pleasure to meet you!” She was about to agree with his suggestion that they look around for a bit before the fight began, but the fight began before she could, with the two taller members of their group stepping into the huge ring.

Though Tatsu had no experience with fighting, or any other sport really, it seemed to her that the boy with hair that her eyes saw as bluish-green was definitely going to win. No matter what the tall, dark-haired girl did, she couldn’t seem to avoid his attacks. At least, that seemed to be the case until she grabbed the ring in the corner she was backed into, her whole body becoming wrapped in metal as she clearly used her quirk. Covered in what amounted to a suit of armor, she was able to go on the offensive without worrying about any counterattacks while using her now-greater weight to deliver some devastating blows on the other fighter.

This discrepancy seemed a little unfair to Tatsu, but she felt that it was between the two fighters. If they had agreed that quirks were allowed, then she couldn’t really judge the girl for using hers, even if it did make the fight incredibly one-sided. Despite the fight being essentially over, however, the boy opted for one last punch to the girl of steel’s jaw, which of course ended with him hurting his hand and prompting Mr. Nahino to declare the match over before more injuries were inflicted.

After telling the boy to leave the ring, he spoke softly with the dark-haired girl for a few moments before hopped out of the ring himself. Shortly after he got out of the ring, he grabbed the boy and lifted him into the air like he weighed nothing, a feat that didn’t really surprise Tatsu given his massive size, before yelling at someone that they couldn’t hide from his nose and leaving. Tatsu didn’t have to question who he had been talking to for very long, as a girl dressed like a ninja appeared next to Iccho almost immediately after Mr. Nahino left the room.

A moment or two later, the girl seemed to realize that there were other people around, turning to the group and introducing herself as Midori before cheerily offering to answer any of their questions. Iccho was the first to take her up on the offer, asking her what subject she taught here at the academy, which Tatsu felt was a fairly standard question to ask. Immediately after Iccho asked his question, Tempest asked Midori how old she was, causing Tatsu to giggle slightly at the oddity of the question.

Not wanting to overwhelm Midori with questions, Tatsu waited until she had answered to two boys’ questions before speaking up. ”I’m Tatsuko Kanashiro,” she said, smiling as usual. ”I was just wondering, what all does this building offer? I imagine that there’s a lot, but could you give us a quick run-down?”
