licorice: (考え中)

[personal profile] licorice 2017-04-25 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
Hello! I have a question about an occupation. In the premise it says we can choose our career as "heroes, rebel as villains, or study as students at the prestigious U.A. High", but is it possible to have a job outside those that would be related? The character I'm interested in is a scientist and if possible I would like him to be a researcher/professor at a normal, regular university, assisting the police/UA/villains/whoever asks him for help.

Or actually, is there a regular university at all in this world?

Thank you!

Hazama/Yuuki Terumi | BlazBlue

[personal profile] eargasmic 2017-04-25 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
CHARACTER NAME: Hazama Honoka/ Yuuki Terumi
CANON: BlazBlue
AGE/AU AGE: Probably around 23-27. Gonna decide the exact one later.
HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: VILLAIN. Alias is probably "Dark Susanoo" or "Ouroboros". Again, gonna decide this later.
OCCUPATION: Although in paper he's working as a police, Hazama is Totally A Villain who doublecrosses the police side as he's working as an intel for his own/the villain team benefit.
PERSONALITY: I'll totally write my own later but gonna c/p shit from wiki for easier time:

Hazama maintains a calm and quiet demeanor around most people, pretending to be harmless as a member of the Intelligence Department. He claimed to hate fighting and preferred to avoid conflict. This, however, was simply a guise to his true nature. When people saw through it, he showed his true colors as selfish and manipulative; destroying other people's lives and twisting their beliefs for his own gain. He has no qualms with killing those who get in his way and shows absolutely no remorse for his actions.

Hazama takes every opportunity to upset others by mocking them, deliberately provoking them, or even bringing up and prodding at a sensitive topic; all for his own enjoyment. Even when he was on the losing side of a conflict, he would take the time to insult and taunt his foes.


Basically he's the most despicable villain without anything good in him. You'll hate him and even if you aren't, Hazama is going to make you hate him and he takes pride in that.

HISTORY: Everything is totally tentative. Totally up for changing and shifting his AU for anyone else who just want an annoyance in their life.

- Japan-born from a somewhat wealthy family as a sole child. His family was pretty much a misfit-- His father and mother always fought for reasons. Perhaps family problem or perhaps other shit, Hazama wasn't mature enough to understand it at that time.
- Mostly spent his early age copped inside his own room or in library/bookstrore reading detective mangas.
- On his early teen, he tried to stop them once, but they ended up hitting him on the head and that was Hazama's Start of Darkness. They hit him once, Hazama didn't act. Twice, Hazama cursed them secretly. Thrice? He had enough of that shit and ended up grabbing a kitchen knife and killed both of them.
- Instead of pissing his pants, Hazama laughed out loud and awakened his inner psycho. He then called police to report the accident, feigning his innocence and say that his parents were pair of nutjobs so Hazama got no punishment. At all.
- Realized at this point that people are idiots and such trick from a mystery manga actually saved his life from boredom.
- One of the higher-ups in the police dept. pitied the lonely kid and decided to take him as a son and thus, Hazama lived the rest of his life as a police intel.
- Unbeknownst to them, Hazama secretly went to the villain group just for the hell of it. Considering his position, most of the fellow polices didn't even consider this possiblity.
*Note: I would like to keep Hazama in the police as that backstabbing bastard who spread the police information to the villain group for at least one to two months, if possible. After that, I'm up for either fellow polices/heroes outing him out or Hazama himself pulled the big reveal.

QUIRK: Tying with Terumi's canon ability, I'll go with something like Memory Eater. It's actually a really simple quirk that works really well to his doubleagent job: This allow Hazama to read his target memory and thus should give him the upper hand in everything.

This, however, isn't as simple as it looks. There are a lot of limitation to this. First off, Hazama needs to channel his quirk first and it's really visible like a deer in highlight and hence so easy to evade in a fight. Assuming Hazama got enough time to channel it, there would be some creepy green ethereal blobs floating around that will proceed to bite (they don't give any physical wound, ironically. It doesn't even hurt!!) his target's head and then send the information directly to Hazama's brain. Second, the duration of the blobs' biting correlate to the amount of information that Hazama would get; let the ethereal snake bite your head for one second, the information that Hazama got is probably only the information of past ten seconds from his target's brain. Let him bite for the maximum duration -30 minutes- however (works really well for interrogation or whenever his target is enfeebled), Hazama can get whatever his target had in their mind for the past two months.

Lastly, the said blob is really weak so even if you were bitten by it, you can simply punch it away. This one is a really fatal flaw of his quirk especially in a combat, but hey, Hazama's probably gonna keep you busy with his knife if he were to use this.

COSTUME: Only happens after he revealed himself of siding with the villain side instead of the police but this is the villain Yuuki Terumi. The ethereal snakes that he use for his quirk is resting behind the yellow hood and if Hazama commanded it, it would slither away from beneath.

do you know how loud I laughed from the second I saw his name I BARELY GO HERE

Hazama being part of the police as a villain would be very intriguing and I'd really love to see what can be done with that from here. The villain request posts will be really great to utilize in this case.

I really like the requirements for this quirk and it's pretty sharp, but it's definitely going to require some level of a permissions post, so there may be an extra step to your game in that instance. Ultimately it sounds like to get the most information, he's going to have to knock his target out, yeah?

I really love this!

Saralegui | Kyou Kara Maou!

[personal profile] enthraller 2017-04-25 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
CHARACTER NAME: Saralegui
CANON: Kyou Kara Maou!
AGE/AU AGE: 18
HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: Aliases are for people who intend to actually be recognized! AKA maybe I'll think of something later if word gets out and he actually needs one. Or people will just call him whatever and he'll be stuck with it, whoops.
OCCUPATION: By day, I'm thinking college student interning for a hero PR company. And by night, villain!

PERSONALITY: On the surface, Saralegui appears pleasant, charming and considerate. He's sociable and charismatic and tries to get along with everyone and maintain a sparkling reputation. Really, he's a manipulative little shit. He's ambitious, too clever for his own good, and deeply pragmatic. He's hyper-cautious when it comes to emotional vulnerabilities, yet delights in taking calculated risks where more straightforward physical dangers are involved. He isn't necessarily "evil", just primarily focused on his own goals and whatever he considers the greatest good to be. His methods are very "ends justify the means" and he's absolutely willing to sacrifice individuals to better serve the majority or just himself.

HISTORY: Saralegui's father was a famous hero back in his day who had a long and successful career before retiring and passing away of natural illness when Saralegui was 15. The man showed no interest in being a father, though, and for the most part just ignored his son and left the child's care to his uncle. His mother, meanwhile, has never been in the picture. As a result, Saralegui grew up feeling distinctly unwanted, and he craves attention and acknowledgement constantly.

Saralegui was a clever kid, though, and realized very early on that his quirk would never let him follow in his father's footsteps to let him surpass the man that way. It was too unsettling a power to be embraced by the general public, and the very public nature of a hero's work would mean that the whole world would figure out very quickly what he could do and how to counter it. So he kept his quirk a secret and played quirkless, aiming his ambitions elsewhere instead. He considered politics for a while but eventually decided to get into hero management and public relations instead.

He primarily uses his quirk to manipulate others, mostly common criminals, into doing his dirty work for him, and he's careful to keep his identity hidden and command anyone he uses to forget him in case they're captured. He maintains a comfortable lifestyle living off these activities and lets others believe he's supporting himself with his inheritance from his father while he works through college and establishes himself in his career. And occasionally, he arranges situations to draw attention to the heroes he's in charge of in his day job, or to subtly raise public opinion of heroes in general when they seem to be flagging a little.

QUIRK: Mind control via eye contact. He can command people to do whatever, place sleeper commands to be activated later, etc. Those with very strong willpower can resist commands that run extremely counter to their nature to some extent, but it takes a hell of a person to actually completely withstand them. However, he needs unimpeded eye contact for the initial command-ing. Even transparent materials will block it out, so it's pretty easy to completely disable him by just covering his eyes somehow or preventing him from taking off his glasses. He knows a quirk like his is a lot more effective if people aren't aware of it and on guard, so he pretends to be quirkless and is very careful when using his ability to keep the nature of it and its weaknesses a secret. As a side-effect of his quirk, his eyes are a very unnatural gold color and sensitive to light, so he usually wears tinted glasses to help hide the color and make light bearable.

COSTUME: He doesn't bother most of the time. But if he's out specifically doing villainous things he'll wear a hood and a mask that won't cover his eyes (think like a half-face ski mask) to help hide his identity.

wow this is a character I haven't seen in years, hi sara I remember you being gay in a coffin cause i only saw the anime ok

Okay so I love this quirk! And great use for his glasses and building on something he can canonically do already. Interestingly enough, Shinsou is a character in the series with a mind control ability and he requires a verbal response to his speech for his quirk to work, so I feel like this falls in a very similar vein so HOW COOL IS THAT

Is this quirk also an emitter quirk or can it happen unintentionally?

SATOU | AJIN (cw for mentions of self harm)

[personal profile] blep 2017-04-25 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
CHARACTER NAME: samuel t. owen
CANON: ajin
AGE/AU AGE: i'm going to take an au guess at this and say his . . . very early sixties?? (??) late fifties at least????? no one know
HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: sato
OCCUPATION: he'll probably lean more towards villain-like activities, but will not label himself as such! he'll even switch sides if he has to! he just wants to have . . . fun . . . with challenges. and destruction. and murder.
PERSONALITY:
* very calm, very chipper! it makes most people feel fairly comfortable around him.
* he's seemingly very trustworthy, and speaks to others with ease.
* he's so charming you just want to give him a hat for christmas every year.
* he encourages people to come talk to him if they're having any trouble! or maybe stop by at the arcade for a little gaming :)
* very calculating, logical, and most certainly creative!
* he's very, very deceptive and not that trustworthy at all..........
* foxy grandpa looking for a good time
* that being said! he adores challenges, and has a massive need to show people how good he is (which stems from his kid days and his apparent hero career cut short— but facing it, he never really cared about it, and figured out pretty early on that heroism was probably not the best outlet for His Needs). this leads to him being completely open with his plans (he live feeds his swat team massacre and publicly displays where and who he will strike next in canon, keeping to his schedule without any changes, and is very against spoilers from the opposing party).
• he can take his own life at the drop of a hat (haha), and has grown quite used to it, from fatally shooting himself to severing his own limbs. his pain threshold is very, very high because of this.
* he enjoys causing destruction, the act of killing, and is incapable of any empathy whatsoever. he's emotionally detached and cannot make meaningful connections with others— people are either categorized as pawns, challengers, or just the little turtles you have to jump on to get to princess peach.
* takes gaming to the next level, meaning, the world is his xbox and you npcs will make this run as exciting and fun as possible, right??


HISTORY: very rough draft, but here goes!:

* probably grew up in the United States! he's originally British/Chinese.
* was a little problematic as a kid. Torturing animals and feeling very not guilty about it.
* was presumably quirkless, but went to school, then went to super hero high school to be a "hero".
* to supplement his lack of quirk, he took to weaponry and became extremely efficient in an array of them, from guns (his favorites), to bombs, to blades, to his fists. the list goes on! if it causes damage, he probably knows about it.
* he was one of the highest graded students in his day, and that picked up both positive and negative attention.
* during his last year, he got expelled and had his license taken for purposely outing a joint student mission, one that killed dozens of peers, teachers, as well as himself-- where he finally discovered that he did have a quirk: regeneration (and it was the most exhilarating thing he ever did). the school kept the happening under wraps as to not soil the prestigious name, calling the mission an "incident that always had risks and happened, like all accidents".
* he got sent to a correction facility for a few years under said wraps. got let go earlier than initially planned for "outstanding cooperation".
* spent the rest of his years playing video games, collecting weaponry, getting back into shape and exploring his quirk. you know, just livin' life until he came to japan—! because of pac man.
* DOES REALLY SKEEVY THINGS like organ trafficking. his own organs.
* probably owns a pretty cool arcade in town as a kind old man that just asks you to call him mr. owen. no one knows he's the owner, but he's there a lot. his high scores are on every single game please try and beat him
* he's keeping an eye out on young and old minds alike that have destructive potential to stir shit up for his own amusement, calling it something cool to attract attention but won't really care about any of it (to be announced!!!)
* bros he just wants the whole world to be call of duty and he's player 1.


QUIRK: i'll be taking his canon abilities and building a tad up on it!!

Sato's quirk would take on the form of "rapid regeneration": Sato's body is capable of producing an unknown substance that's solid yet completely translucent. Consider our body's cells in any living organism: naturally, we're all capable of regeneration, albeit at different levels and speeds. The scarring process takes about two weeks to cycle, sometimes longer depending on the wound, and normally, anything like losing a limb or a big chunk of healthy flesh is fatal to most. We'll die of blood loss before our body could even begin to notice that we need to heal— and if we don't die, we don't grow our limbs back if we were to ever lose them.

That's where "rapid regeneration" comes in. Essentially, if Sato's body takes on enough damage, he'll die as anyone else— the difference being is that the black particles his body creates will heal his wounds and replace nutrients as soon as he kicks the bucket, resuscitating him to a healthy state anywhere between a few seconds to a few minutes (depending on the damage taken). Severed limbs will be pulled back to the body and reattached if close enough, and if too far away, they'll regenerate whatever is needed to the largest part of the body present (for example: if Sato threw himself into wood chipper with his hand being the only body part left miles away, the rest of his body would begin to regenerate around that severed hand). If there's a physical blockade blocking a severed limb from growing back when he dies, the regenerated one will disintegrate what's in the way to make room for the healthy limb (example: Sato severs his arm and presses it against a door without a knob from the outside; when he resets, his limb will regenerate through the door, leaving a hole for his arm to go through).

It probably only isn't considered "immortality" here because Sato still ages and continues to age, physically speaking. If he's injured, he won't heal until he "dies", so any damage taken before that could still hinder him. He can't be forcefully killed and stay that way, but that doesn't make him completely immune to death at least some point in his life. Perhaps he'll live much longer than the average human, but that won't stop his body from aging as he does at some point as well.

These black particles are only visible to its user, or to people that have a very large amount of adrenaline circulating in their systems (in moments of extreme stress or fear, for example).

The black particles can create a form that's directly connected to Sato and vice versa, making it so that Sato himself has some control of it— It's this guy here, a "ghost" with lizard like features that mimics Sato's core personality, capable of superhuman feats such as slashing, crushing, biting and stabbing with claws and jaws. It also has a habit of repeating words that Sato's previously spoken. When created, Sato can see through it, speak through it, but it can and will work independently, doing what it feels is right to benefit itself and automatically, benefit Sato. If Sato is incapacitated for example, Sato's ghost would not be above inflicting damage to him to "reset".

One major weakness over the black particles is rainy weather, artificial or not. It makes the connection with the black ghost similar to a faulty phone call, making it difficult to maintain a link without it disappearing. Another weak spot is the Black Ghost's head; striking the head will disconnect the link it has with Sato and make it disintegrate. If its head collides with another Black Ghost in canon, blips of memory are shared between two Ajin— for this AU's case, we can make it so that any head collision can cause memory sharing and destruction of the ghost.

Black Ghosts also have a time and quantity limit per day, all depending on its concentration. Sato can create around, say, two to three ghosts per day, able to maintain one between 15 to 20 minutes.

Lastly, if Sato is successfully tranquilized (without him resetting himself right before or cutting off limbs), whether chemically or through other quirks, it would stop him right then and there. His Black Ghost can manifest and wreck its havoc for him if it's done before that, so keeping him under isn't a sure way to incapacitate him for good, a mix of all weaknesses being the best bet.

COSTUME: grandpa mario, the costume. spoiler: it's what he wears every day. maybe a change in hat color depending on the mood. would mostly consist of straps and bags to hold his artillery!

gdit grandpa

I mostly think of the regeneration going to be needing far more nerfing because if you look at a character like Recovery Girl, for example, her quirk only amplifies a person's healing capacity but can kill the user if they're too injured for her to push the limit. Aging being his worst enemy doesn't really have any real feel of risk in an RP setting.

I think a lot of the quirk details are a bit too dependent on the source material and give Satou a touch too much strength in surviving, but the IBM portion reminds me a lot of Tokoyami so I feel like you could probably hold onto that portion of it and reconsider the regeneration capacity.

Shino Aburame | Naruto | warning for potential body horror/bugs

[personal profile] shinobee 2017-04-25 09:56 am (UTC)(link)
CHARACTER NAME: Shino Aburame
CANON: Naruto (Konoha Hiden)
AGE/AU AGE: 19. This is still up in the air, I'm thinking either this, or his later canon point in his late 20s - early 30s when he's an established academy teacher.
HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: Shinobee, the bug ninja hero Symbio, the Human Hive.
OCCUPATION: Teacher-in-training/teaching assistant at UA.
PERSONALITY:
  • Quiet. He's easily forgotten because he doesn't speak out and often fades into the background.
  • Gets real salty when forgotten and afraid of being left behind. Why? Because the opinion of others matters to him greatly, and he thinks highly of his friends and comrades. He takes pride in being attentive to his friends and acting as a silent support. If they forget his existence or forget to invite them to his things, he's deeply hurt and holds grudges forever. He's a sensitive soul.
  • Despite appearing stoic, he's very passionate about his bonds with others and has respect for all walks of life. Even the smallest insect has a purpose. Extremely protective over his bugs.
  • Matter-of-fact to the point of ridiculousness. He's a nitpicker; he speaks in a peculiar fashion, stating things that could usually go unsaid, or repeating sentences before answering them. He loves this "Why? Because ____" structure.

    HISTORY:
  • Little Shino didn't have many friends. When you're a host for a couple thousand bugs, the other kids tend to give you a large berth. That wasn't a problem for Shino – he didn't exactly distance himself, but he didn't attempt to reach out to anyone either when he could communicate with insects instead.
  • Grew up in Japan. He comes from a long line of heroes with insect quirks, so he never ventured outside of that bubble of acceptance.
  • It's only until he's accepted into the hero department at UA does he learn what it means to make meaningful bonds. It's the first time he's had to work together with others to such a degree, co-operating on missions and training and putting his life in someone else’s hands. It's the first time he's allowed others to get under his skin, have them probe around, and perhaps to his surprise, find acceptance in them.
  • Upon graduating from UA, Shino had been concerned he would be left behind by his classmates. Many of them had been accepted into pro-hero agencies, or split up to pursue their own individual paths. His graduating class wouldn't be together every day. Eventually, Shino reflects that his classmates all grew up into admirable heroes, and decides to help foster the next generation of heroes to be as great as they had been. Currently, he's a teacher-in-training at the school that gave so much to him.
  • Kids kinda think he's lame and don't.. really... listen. He's long winded when it comes to teaching theory. Working on that.
  • Other than his passion for GUIDING THE HEROES OF TOMORROW, Shino has an interest in the different applications of insects – especially for heroism. He can be often called upon during certain investigations for his knowledge of forensic entomology. He can estimate the time of death, extract poisons, and command his insects to enter a corpse and examine it further.

    This is definitely up for changes. If anyone was interested in being in his graduating class or a friend, let's talk!

    QUIRK: Symbiosis.

    [ warning for potential body horror/bugs ]

    An ability to communicate with insects via pheromones. Shino's body acts as a host for a species of beetle (kikaichu): in exchange for shelter, the insects within his body have agreed to cooperate with him to perform certain tasks for combat/reconnaissance.

    Shino makes it a habit to disperse a number of kikaichu around him, moving outwards in every direction. Whenever they detect a foreign body within the perimeter he’s set, they’re able to communicate to nearby insects and form a relay to convey the information back to Shino. This means they don’t need to physically fly all the way back to him. Insects are capable of very complex communication!

    Using this method, Shino's range of detection highly varies depending on how many insects he's scattered out, and their density. His range is only limited by how many bugs he has. Also it's flexible, as he can change the shape or direction of them too. When he’s expecting a fight he draws his insects closer towards him so they’re more readily available to swarm an enemy.

    His speciality lies in search and rescue, but his quirk and head for strategy enable him to utilise his insects for combat too. As "chakra" doesn't exactly exist here, instead of draining life energy, his insects manually burrow into his opponent's skin or enter through any orifices and rupture things with sheer numbers. The insects are also able to excrete a substance to "stitch" up skin temporarily when they burrow back into their host's body.

    One major disadvantage of his quirk is that kikaichu and Shino have formed an obligate symbiotic relationship. Over time, the insects have formed such a close relationship with his body that if all of them died and were removed, his own organs will collapse. His quirk is only as useful as the type and number of bugs that are in his vicinity.

    COSTUME: Loose fitting clothes (long jackets with a hood) to allow easy access for his insects. Clothing covers his entire body, but these days at least he's not hiding his face behind a tall collar. He's always wearing a pair of shades, or goggles, or a weird cyclops visor. NO ONE HAS SEEN HIS EYES.

    Cain | Starfighter

    [personal profile] roughlove 2017-04-25 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
    CHARACTER NAME: Alexei Ivanov
    CANON: Starfighter
    AGE/AU AGE: 22
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: Cain
    OCCUPATION: (anti)Hero in the police Special Assault Team

    PERSONALITY: Cain is mouthy, crass, abrasive, vicious, and immensely cocky. One of the hyper-aggressive types who'd more typically wash into the gutter of criminality, it's difficult to see how or why he wound up in civil service. Underneath his prickly surface, he's got an intense chip on his shoulder about coming from a rough upbringing, and is very motivated to prove himself. He's got an extreme case of 'us vs. them' mentality, and if you can squeak past his intense judgement and into the inner circle of his confidence, he's... got obvious soft spots. Protective, forthright, and legitimately concerned (in his own rough way) with the well being of his friends

    HISTORY: Cain was a younger son in a large family living rough on the outskirts of a rusted-out failed industrial hub. Once he discovered his quirk in his teens, he signed up with a police incentive program to groom younger quirked individuals for public and military service, pairing individuals into teams for the duration of training. He graduated this program relatively recently and joined the SAT rather than the military so that he could have a more stable schedule and be able to visit home regularly. I'd be open to exploring someone making up the other half of that duo!

    QUIRK: A little undecided here. I'm considering something that's a cheeky nod at his canon like 'gets stronger and more invulnerable the more times he achieves sexual climax; but the inverse is also true', or else a combat-superpower that's tied to his emotional connection with his teammate(s).

    COSTUME: Black jumpsuit with armored panels and a high-impact helmet theoretically capable of taking severe abuse. With an optional leather jacket bearing his alias across his shoulders, because he's a vain motherfucker.

    do you know how fucking loud I laughed during my lunch hour today? I'LL NEVER REBUILD MY REPUTATION it was already trashed

    I like the empathy link and being essentially a support quirk in some fashion, but it would make him incredibly limited on who he can utilize this ability with. COUGH I feel like something akin to Zenji from Lost Dimension might be interesting.

    Othello ☆ Kuroshitsuji

    [personal profile] licorice 2017-04-25 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
    CHARACTER NAME: Othello
    CANON: Kuroshitsuji
    AGE/AU AGE: Around 27-30
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: N/A
    OCCUPATION: Researcher at a university

    PERSONALITY:
    • Appears easygoing but can be quite harsh. He has nothing holding him back and will say things as is.
    • He's a True Neutral and his only interest is science. As in, you can coax him to do whatever, good or bad, as long as there's something interesting for him.
    • Once he becomes immersed in something, he will blab nonstop and/or not listen to a word you say. He also will stop paying attention to everything else, making him vulnerable to attacks and well... everything else.
    • At first glance, he seems like a harmless nerd who gets overly excited about nerdy things, but mess with his work and you'll probably get to see another side of him.
    HISTORY: (This is a very general idea and I would be okay to shift things around/add stuff!)
    • Born and grown up in England.
    • Has always been interested in science as long as he can remember. His main field is Biology, but he has a basic working knowledge in other fields as well. Has a PhD in Evolutionary Genetics. (Did both his Bachelor and PhD in the UK?)
    • Did a postdoc fellowship in Japan for three years, then later recruited as a full-time researcher.
    • He's sometimes asked to help with cases by the police — he's one of the best-skilled people in Japan in the field of Quirk Genetics, making him vital in some niche forensic investigations.
    • I'm thinking that he either has helped the heroes/villains, or will be asked for help in the future. His main interests are Genetics and Experimental Evolution in quirks, which may be used for quirk copying/cloning, gene/quirk manipulation, etc... He has no sense of moral whatsoever so feel free to drag him for whatever ♡

    NOTE: Looking for workmates and/or fellow scientists to geek together with! Or someone with an unusual quirk that he can be fascinated about, but of course 'normal' quirks would be completely cool too. Maybe you've met him as a sample or a test subject for an experiment before? Or maybe he's interviewed you for a study before? Friends from both the hero or the villain sides would be great as well! Maybe you live in the same apartment building and are concerned that he's almost never home? Or well, if you have any other CR ideas, do throw them at me!
    QUIRK: Mind-reading, although he has almost never used it as it's more interesting for him to find things out on his own than using his quirk. Need to touch the person directly (skin to skin) to be able to read their minds. Can only sense surface thoughts, no subconscious thoughts/memories (yet?).
    COSTUME: None! Although he pretty much always forgets to take off his lab coat so you'll see him in one more often than not.

    CHARACTER NAME: Asterios
    CANON: Fate/Grand Order
    AGE/AU AGE: 16, for his AU age!
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: The Minotaur
    OCCUPATION: Student, hero class.
    PERSONALITY:
    -soft-spoken. he has trouble forming full sentences but he's coherent enough for people to understand him. because of this, he's very uncomfortable being in the spotlight
    -gentle, especially with his quirk. he's concerned about hurting others and wants to have full control over his strength
    -polite almost to a fault
    -a genuine do-gooder at heart who wants to make up for the misdeeds he's done in his childhood

    HISTORY:
    ( warning for mentions of child abuse)


    -his father possessed a quirk while his mother did not
    -seeing the ability to turn a quick profit, his father forced asterios to help him in acts of crime from a young age on. this involved robbing banks, taking hostages for ransom, etc. refusal would result in isolation and punishment.
    -around 10 years old, asterios's parents were arrested on grounds of child neglect and abuse. he was relocated to a foster home, where he would adjust to a normal lifestyle
    -wanting to leave his past behind, asterios is currently aiming to become the best hero he can be

    QUIRK:
    Mutation: Cretan Bull
    A straightforward quirk that grants Asterios the ability to communicate with animals, as well as superhuman strength and endurance. Ordinary human strength cannot pierce his skin and he's able to lift up to five times his own weight.

    Also he's. Got horns and is kinda huge, clocking in around 9'7".

    COSTUME: He's got a cool minotaur mask and everything going on, check it outttttt

    Are there any limitations to what animals he can communicate with or how? What would you think of as his weakness? A timid personality can always be adjusted, but it'd be interesting to see a little more vulnerability in his actual quirk, too!

    Dave Strider | Homestuck

    [personal profile] turntex 2017-04-26 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
    CHARACTER NAME: Dave Strider
    CANON: Homestuck
    AGE/AU AGE: 16
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: If left entirely to his own devices it'd be something dumb and shitposty. But luckily hero school appears to let their classmates veto dumb ideas so he'll probably eventually settle on just "Stride" or something.
    OCCUPATION: Student in the hero class.

    PERSONALITY: Dave is a ridiculous trainwreck of a human being. He comes across as super aloof and cool at first glance but honestly, he's an awkward and needy loser. He never shuts up, oftentimes just rambling to himself if left unchecked, and he has a tendency to run with extended metaphors in bizarre, hilarious and sometimes vulgar ways. He has an extremely irreverent sense of humor, and he loves shitty art and good music. For all that he at times seems unaffected and frustratingly chill, he cares a lot about the peoples he's himself latched onto and will throw himself into the goddamn sun if he has to to protect them.

    HISTORY: Dave was raised by his older brother, referred to exclusively as Bro, who worked as a vigilante hero and seemed to expect his little bro to do the same. Bro's child-rearing methods were sociopathic at best, and involved less actual caretaking and more mind games and brutal "training sessions" that more or less amounted to simple beatdowns. Dave idolized Bro and it took a few years after Bro's heroic death at the hands of a villain for Dave to come to terms with how straight-up abusive the whole situation was.

    He has some lingering issues these days, most relevant being a struggle with the very idea of heroism. He feels compelled to help and protect people where he can but feels like he'll never live up to a hero like Bro, but part of him doesn't want to after Bro soured the concept for him. There are moments when the reality of what he's working towards as a student in the hero class makes him feel a little sick, but he's mostly trying to just do his own thing and do it the right way.

    QUIRK: Still tossing a few ideas around but right now I'm leaning most towards Flashstepping: he can move at superspeed in short bursts, to the extent of leaving an afterimage when really pushing it. He can't maintain it for more than a second or two at a time, but when used tactically he can hit someone so fast they can't even see it coming, move in quick dashes to almost look like he's teleporting around, or even use the afterimage effect to confuse and disorient baddies. This drains his blood sugar levels like crazy, though, so he has to keep that shit in check or risk passing out. He prefers to do this with a lot of apple juice.

    COSTUME: I will doodle something eventually, but I'm imagining something with extra protection for his knees and elbows and hands to make his fighting style (a clusterfuck of self-taught martial arts, ninja-esque shit, parkour, and something like breakdancing) a little less hard on the body, and pouches or something for emergency juice rations.

    This reminds me a lot of Satou in MHA, so I actually really like the idea of it! Perhaps use his example to find ways to build upon it even more but really this is excellent as is, too.

    Raphael/Phantom R | Rhythm Thief

    [personal profile] rythme 2017-04-26 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
    CHARACTER NAME: Raphael
    CANON: Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure
    AGE/AU AGE: 16-18, I think
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: Phantom R, probably
    OCCUPATION: Despite how much he's going to play up a 'phantom thief' image because he's a nerd, probably pretty solidly a student in the hero class.
    PERSONALITY:
    - pretty soft-spoken and mild in his civilian persona, pretty gentle, and generally prefers to stay out of the spotlight. Kind of easily flustered
    - tends to be more confident and cheeky as Phantom R, playful, snarky, and kind of mischievous, will probably mouth off to villains
    - in both personas, he'll go out of his way to help someone who needs it and does love helping others, he's very protective of his friends, also do not stand in his way when he is especially motivated
    HISTORY:
    - Born in France as the only child of a dancer mom and an artist dad; his mom died pretty early on
    - Was pretty sickly as a kid, his father sold forgeries of famous paintings to pay for his medical bills
    - Eventually his health improved and he discovered his quirk during a dance class
    - His father disappeared when he was 15; as part of Raphael's search for his father, he transferred to UA
    - He goes with a phantom thief image because he grew up on gentleman thief/phantom thief stories especially since he was stuck in bed a lot--he's not going to be doing any actual thievery, of course! He just thinks the look and general code of honor are cool...
    QUIRK: I'm still working on it, but I'm thinking it's going to be something like this: he can set his actions to a(n internal) rhythm, and through that he can gradually boost his speed and strength as long as he maintains that rhythm. However, it requires pretty precise timing and the effects plateau after a minute or so of consistent use or they hit a certain point (probably to the point he can only lift twice or three times his weight and there's a maximum speed that he can't exceed--I have no especially defined limits here because I'm coming up with this quirk off the top of my head as I type I WILL BE LESS VAGUE WHEN I FIGURE OUT HARD LIMITS). There's a bigger downside in that the boosts instantly vanish (and could potentially harm him) if he's knocked out of his rhythm somehow, and it's very difficult for him to get back into a groove after he's been thrown off (especially if he's managed to maintain it for a while).

    ... Ack, that got pretty rambly, sorry! (As a side note, I'd probably call his quirk Metronome or Click Track...)
    COSTUME: It's going to be something pretty easy to move around in, but also with some sort of phantom thief-esque flair to it...

    CHARACTER NAME:Kamui
    CANON:Gintama
    AGE/AU AGE: 18
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: None. Just Kamui
    OCCUPATION: villain for hire (works under the Harusame group)

    PERSONALITY:
    +battle-happy. The reason he joined the group was because he knew he'd get more chances to meet strong people to fight.
    +Always smiling, which makes it kind of hard to read him.
    +The type that is drawn to a challenge. The tougher the challenge, the happier he is.
    + Has 0 tolerance for those he deems weak and either gets rid of them or doesn’t waste his time on them.
    +Childish in that if he sees what he wants he takes it, no matter the consequences. Very self-serving. Tosses out logic when it comes to a fight with someone he really wants to battle it out with. An example is that even if he is already heavily injured, as long as he can still move he won’t back out just because he’s having so much fun.
    +believes emotional ties weaken a person, so he cut his.
    +Sadistic tendencies? The stronger his opponents the more he likes to toy with them, testing how much they can endure/handle

    HISTORY:
    +comes from the Yato clan, known for their skills and quirk, which makes them excel in battles. Because of this they were and still are usually hired to fight at wars in other countries. They are also contracted as bodyguards, usually by people in the criminal underworld.

    +born and raised in the slums of China (haven't picked specifics) with his father, mother, and younger sister.
    +father was a famous bounty hunter. Due to the nature of his work, he was usually away from his family.
    +Kamui challenged his father to a match, saying he wanted to be stronger so he had to take out the strongest. Managed to take his dad's arm.
    +The only reason his father didn’t kill him was because his sister stepped in.
    +Kamui left after that to join the Harusame crime syndicate, believing his ties to his family only weakened him. He rose up the ranks quickly and eventually gained a unit of his own. His unit is now stationed in Japan where they take on various jobs ranging from protecting higher ups in the crime world, smuggling weapons, and being mercenaries for hire.

    QUIRK: Enhancement.
    +Can enhance certain attributes, such as his strength, endurance, speed, healing, eyesight, hearing, and sense of smell.
    +By enhancing his strength he is capable of lifting heavy objects (like cars), or breaking down walls and such. This is dependent on how much he has eaten. His enhancement quirk takes up a lot of energy, so to compensate he needs to eat a lot. The more he eats, the stronger he can be. If he's running on an empty stomach, then he can't use his quirk.
    +With endurance, his pain-tolerance is higher than others and he can take hits from other power-type heroes. However, this does not make him invincible. If you shoot him, the bullet will still go through. And you can still break his bones and cut him. It just won’t take him down easily. Tranquilizers too will need to be in higher doses, but he can be neutralized if it is strong enough.
    +He also heals faster than regular humans, but this does not mean he heals instantly. It may take a couple of hours to a few days depending on how badly he is hurt.

    COSTUME: still thinking on that...but he does have a weapon he carries around. An umbrella that also works as a gun/shield against bullets.

    [personal profile] maipokerface 2017-04-26 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
    CHARACTER NAME: Mai
    CANON: Avatar: the Last Airbender
    AGE/AU AGE: 18
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: Still debating this one.
    OCCUPATION: College student by day but she does love getting into fights so she's a low-key hero with a slightly villainous past.

    PERSONALITY:
    I have a huge one written out but basically apathy on the outside that's getting somewhat better, caring on the inside - if you're family or friends or something. In general Mai was a lot more apathetic and displeased when she was fifteen or so and has slightly cheered up in the intervening years. She's still not a ball of sunshine though.

    HISTORY:
    + A child of largely absentee parents. Her father wants to climb a political ladder, her mother wants to be a socialite and Mai was supposed to be "seen and not heard".
    + Mixed up with the wrong sort of crowd in the end. She spent a good year or two as a very minor villain from 14 - 16 or so. It was more in an effort to vent some of her pent up frustration at life as well as to entertain herself.
    + Thanks to this she never exactly went to U.A. or anything like that. She's at a perfectly normal college.

    QUIRK: Still debating this too. Given her canon marksman abilities, I'm thinking something along the lines of the same sort of thing. A marksman ability that gives her an absolute chance of hitting anything within a certain distance to herself, provided they aren't hidden behind concrete walls or that sort of thing. In other words if she can see them, she can hit them.

    I wouldn't mind playing around with some sort of fire or darkness quirk either. Just because she can't bend in canon doesn't mean she can't here. I think a darkness sort of quirk would be more fitting for her, maybe something dealing with stealth.

    COSTUME: Whatever her quirk, Mai's the sort of girl who really ought to dress in mostly black.

    CHARACTER NAME: Tzilan
    CANON: OC
    AGE/AU AGE: 19
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: Shade
    OCCUPATION: Villain
    PERSONALITY: There's a good reason he picks a serpent as his symbol: he's notoriously cold and calculating, and his immense love of order and efficiency have all grown from having had to be very self-sufficient since a young age. He's never developed the easy ability to rely on others, and prefers to do things alone and without company. Because of that, other people are often just unwanted trouble and complication, and his immensely high standards for interpersonal companionship are... very difficult to meet. But he doesn't exist in a vacuum, and he's personally ambitious: not because he cares about the opinions of others, but because his need for control is so significant that allaying his own anxieties and irritations about how his surroundings are ordered require having a high degree of wealth and power. Using villainous means to achieve that wealth and power has nothing to do with enjoying hurting other people, but simply finding it the most efficient and expedient route to what he wants.

    HISTORY: Tzilan was born into abject poverty, and his quirk manifested itself when he was very young as the ability to slip through shadows. It was a long time before he learned to control this power, and the resulting childhood varied from extremely bizarre to extremely terrifying, as he'd not infrequently simply fall through shadow into different locations without rhyme or reason. Frequently homeless in his youth, and often a part of the criminal element, much of his informal life education happened at the elbow of small-time hustlers. They taught him the idolization of the good life, and to this day much of his work is done in the pursuit of the goal of an idealized life free of fear or stressed. To be untouchably in power.

    Clever by nature, as he learned to control his power painstakingly over time, and graduated from small-time heists to increasingly elaborate acts of theft. He quickly learned to act alone, how to prioritize untraceable valuables over those likely to be registered, how to fence stolen goods... and how to invest in himself. He paid for private tutors, martial arts coaches, even the best gear to help protect and obfuscate him while on the job.

    He might not have the good life yet, by his own estimations, but he talks the talk, and anyone meeting him would probably presume him an upper-crust trust-fund kid. He's even enrolled in his freshman year at a local university studying data sciences, because it's only a matter of time before all the money he could ever steal exists only digitally.

    QUIRK: He can step through any shadow to arrive via shadow to any other location he's ever seen before. Bright lights in the proper orientation to eliminate shadows or make them too small for him to physically fit through negate this ability. Light in general is broadly harmful for him: stepping out on a bright sunny day begins to burn him, so significantly that he can visibly start to smoke, and well-lit areas are disorienting to painful depending on the quality of the light: the more UV, the worse for him.

    COSTUME: He'd look like he escaped from Tron

    [personal profile] explodokills 2017-04-27 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
    I rather enjoy methodical characters that operate based on efficiency over morality. Always a pleasure. I do like that he isn't a total sociopath either, if I'm reading the personality correctly, as those types are very one note and get annoying to play with.

    I do like that he's vulnerable to the light in all aspects, and his outfit would really help him along with that. Would he have noticeable burn marks and scars as well?

    How long can he last in the light before it becomes an issue? How much exposure is safe? Is he always dressed in his clothes or does he try to look rather "normal"?

    Bridget | Guilty Gear

    [personal profile] kickstart_my_heart 2017-04-26 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
    CHARACTER NAME: Bridget
    CANON: Guilty Gear
    AGE/AU AGE: His age is ambiguous in canon, but he's a teenager either way.
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: haven't thought of one
    OCCUPATION: Student
    PERSONALITY:
    -super nice and compassionate
    -stupidly naive as a result
    -DETERMINATION he wants to be The Man, man, despite dressing like a woman, man
    -he loves looking cute and being seen as cute but is also pretty assertive about his masculinity. he doesn't see the dissonance in these ideas.
    HISTORY: He was raised as a girl for part of his life due to some superstition about twins, and his parents saw him having a quirk as a confirmation of that superstition, so he was the "sister" of the twins for awhile. Eventually, the family came to terms with what was actually going on, but Bridget went through something of an identity crisis as a result, and is now seeking out training to become a HERO!!! in order to find his place in the world.
    QUIRK: Bridget has the ability to manipulate kinetic vectors via touch. His mutation has been active since birth, and has evolved in a relatively short amount of time to move beyond just stopping objects in place. Among Bridget's applications of his powers are:

    - The ability to literally walk on any surface regardless of gravity

    - The reduction of his own personal friction, allowing him to move across surfaces with incredible speed

    - The ability to command appropriate materials to expand or condense. (this one is subject to removal since it's vague and i can't quite brain the physics of it)

    - The ability to add velocity to a frozen object before releasing it from its hold, vastly increasing its energy.

    Bridget uses most of these powers with his trusted yoyo. And it's not just any ordinary yoyo, either. Designed by his father, it's actually a highly effective and versatile weapon, having several functions that can be activated with Bridget's powers. Probably the most common of these are its bladed wheel function. Bridget also has a seemingly innocent stuffed bear that is in fact a defensive robot Bridget's father created for him that has several weapons and functions built into it. Roger, as the bear as called, can activate on Bridget's command.
    COSTUME: SHOULD I PUT HIM IN THE NUN OUTFIT THAT'S LITERALLY NEVER EXPLAINED?

    DO THE NUN OUTFIT IT'S OBLIGATORY I'll deny your app i s2g

    So the Bear thing would be something of an illegal item as everything has to go through government approval, but I feel like Bridget unintentionally acting as a vigilante type while trying to earn a hero's license would be incredibly entertaining to read and to play.

    Also I'm not going to pretend to be intelligent, but would you mind elaborating with some examples on his quirk in layman's terms?

    CHARACTER NAME: Baiken
    CANON: Guilty Gear
    AGE/AU AGE: Canonly unknown, but safe to say she's in her 30s
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: Ronin
    OCCUPATION: ex-vigilante, roped into becoming a teacher
    PERSONALITY:
    - a pretty broken person
    - routinely loses patience with people
    - wrathful and brutal in combat
    - quick to anger, though not as much as she used to be
    - was obsessed with revenge and refused to make any sort of friends, even downright threatening to kill people who got too close to her
    - has a complicated relationship with her identity, both in terms of nationality and gender
    - despite all this, she actually has a sense of compassion under all that cold anger

    Baiken is a person constantly struggling against what she lost, what that loss made her into, and how she can reconcile all of that with her humanity. It's a struggle that either leads her to accept the presence of and need for companionship and to live for something besides chasing death, or to go completely mad and seek only to kill and kill until her life comes to a violent end.

    HISTORY: Haven't quite thought this completely through, but an appropriately violent and tragic backstory is kind of necessary for Baiken to be Baiken, so we'll see

    QUIRK: In a world of super powered magic users and augmented creatures and wizards and god-like weapons of mass-destruction, Baiken is incredibly normal. I'm considering her being quirkless and just using technology and tools to her advantage. We'll see how it pans out.

    Tanaka | Fate/Kaleid Liner PRISMA☆ILLYA

    [personal profile] zukizuki 2017-04-27 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
    CHARACTER NAME: Tanaka
    CANON: Fate/Kaleid Liner PRISMA☆ILLYA
    AGE/AU AGE:
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: TANAKA IS TANAKA
    OCCUPATION: Student
    PERSONALITY:
    • Amnesiac
    • Very friendly!
    • Maybe a little... too friendly?
    • Has an extremely high body of technical knowledge but no practical knowledge (ex: she can recognize the ingredients of ramen by scent but has no idea what it is)
    • Basically she acts like a child who doesn't understand what is or is not socially appropriate
    • Just does the first thing that pops into her head at any given moment
    • Expresses her emotions and opinions without any sort of filter
    • Will get upset and then forget what she's upset about within minutes
    • Will sometimes go into KILL MODE with no explanation, where she becomes hyper-focused on a target that Must Be Destroyed?

    HISTORY:
    • NO ONE KNOWS WHERE SHE COMES FROM
    • A FAMILY JUST FOUND HER WANDERING AROUND IN A DAZE ONE DAY??
    • They brought her inside and it took them approximately 2.5 seconds to realize she had a quirk
    • Basically they threw her at UA High School because they didn't know how to handle the situation and apparently she didn't belong to anyone
    • GUESS TANAKA JUST LIVES HERE NOW

    QUIRK:
    I have two ideas in mind for Tanaka, one of which is... a lot stronger than the other, oops. But my ideal would be molecular self-modification. If allowed, Tanaka would be able to rapidly reconstruct her own body on a molecular level; this would primarily give her a sort of pseudo-indestructibility, where her body automatically "rewrites" any injuries she sustains, no matter how horrific. Covered in severe burns? Well, that's got to go—her body will just undo the damage by reconstructing her skin to be in perfect health!

    In theory, this would also allow Tanaka to perform all sorts of spiffy transformations, but... she doesn't know how to do much of anything on purpose. She can only reliably count on her body's automatic ability to transform her back to the status quo; the only voluntary transformation she can pull off safely or consistently is turning her arms into swords from the elbow down, which is pretty cool, but... not always the most useful, even in combat?

    Molecular transformation, especially if it involves wide-scale repairs to her body, also takes a lot of energy! Her body naturally runs several degrees higher than a normal human's for that reason. Beyond that, if she's pushed past a certain point, her body will basically shut down and go dormant; no matter what she's doing or how critical it is, she'll pass out into a deep sleep and be unable to wake up from it until her body's reserves of energy are back to acceptable levels. This could potentially mean days, if she's over-taxed herself severely enough!

    With all that said... If that's too much, she'll be able to detach her limbs and head from her torso and manipulate her various body parts remotely.

    Jon Everett| OC

    [personal profile] intellectuowl 2017-04-27 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
    CHARACTER NAME:Jon Everett
    CANON: OC
    AGE/AU AGE: 32
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: Not necessary to have and can always be updated later.
    OCCUPATION: Support Team, Staff medical doctor
    PERSONALITY:

    • Outwardly very grumpy and antisocial
    • Actually a huge softie who winds up taking care of kids instinctively.
    • Gives out advice backhandedly, but always sincerely.
    • An absolute burnout on life from way too much academics in way too short a time.
    • Seemingly always about to take a nap.
    • An absolute workaholic, in the sense that he can't help it.
    • Extremely firm moral fiber.

    HISTORY:
    • Jon's quirk left him capable of excessive intelligence, so he wound up triple/quadruple majoring in college and getting several doctorates before he was 30.
    • This burned him out almost immediately and left him jaded and virtually dead inside for a while.
    • He chilled out as a school nurse for a bit until he stopped being a zombie



    QUIRK: Jon's quirk allows him to induce cellular regeneration in himself and others via touch, accelerating the healing process significantly. Nothing crazy fast, but he can get a broken bone to heal in about an hour or two, severed limbs in a couple more (depending on how clean), and can repair nerve damage over months. The touch limitation keeps him from being used in the field beyond a standard medic, and he can't do anything about the dead after a point. He's physically perfectly healthy and perhaps excessively healthy, to the point that he just functions better than others, which means he metabolizes alcohol too fast, can't even enjoy narcotics, and is constantly thinking way too much way too often and can't even sleep in. He sleeps perfectly every night, which means he pings up the instant his body produces wakefulness hormones.
    COSTUME: Whatever he pulled on in the morning, plus a doctor's white coat.

    Hanako Ikezawa | Katawa Shoujo

    [personal profile] burntflower 2017-04-27 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
    CHARACTER NAME: Hanako Ikezawa
    CANON: Katawa Shoujo
    AGE/AU AGE: 17
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: N/A
    OCCUPATION: Student
    PERSONALITY:
    -Timid, easily frightened by other people.
    -Soft spoken, actually pretty kind.
    -Wants nothing more than to be normal, hates being coddled.
    -Very self-conscious about her appearance.
    -Loves reading and cooking, although she's horrible at the latter.

    HISTORY: Honestly, her history will mostly be the same as canon, although depending on her quirk, there are some slight changes.

    QUIRK: At the moment, I have two potential ideas unless something else more appropriate comes to light!

    Combustion Inducement: Through touch, Hanako can rapidly increase the temperature of an object to the point of combustion, setting it ablaze. This is a quirk she would not be able to fully control and is horrified by it. (She would have been the cause of the fire in her past.) It's pretty obvious she isn't immune to the fire she can create. She'd be at the academy learning to try and control her quirk to prevent any further incidents.

    Shadow Camouflage: The other idea allows Hanako to blend in with areas of dim or no light, making it incredibly hard to find her in the dark. With her normally quiet nature, this quirk makes a bit more sense. Again, this is one she can't really control either.

    COSTUME: None yet.

    i like the spontaneous combustion idea! it's a nice way to do fire stuff without just falling into the same overdone "controlling fire" pit that's most often done, and it seems like it could be used pretty creatively.

    killingusoftly: (Look into Madness)

    Yogg-Saron the Hope's End | Warcraft

    [personal profile] killingusoftly 2017-04-27 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
    CHARACTER NAME: True Name: Yogg-Saron, Female Form: Sarah Norskul, Male Name: Yog
    CANON: Warcraft Universe
    AGE/AU AGE: Canon Age: Ageless/Immortal Millenia Old
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: Hope's End
    OCCUPATION: Villain
    PERSONALITY:
    Conniving, sadistic, deceiving, maniacal... dangerous. Those would be the words often associated with the self-proclaimed god of deah. Yog is indeed that and so much more. Prompt to seduce the world into insanity, Yog prefers to work from the shadows, slowly letting their tendrils of corrupting influence infect the world around them. Their base desire is to watch the world slowly succumb to madness and live in a chaotic apocalypse of their own making and let the world tear itself apart or join in maddening harmony. Either way it'll happen, at least in their eyes and they'll be there to nurture it further. Yog lives in his own time and place, often seeming aloof but always with that nagging feeling of something being very not right.

    When interacting with Sarah however things are much different. Brash and emotional, Sarah seems like your everyday person. Very vocal about their feelings, Sarah can come off as standoffish if she's in a foul mood or overly amiable if she's in a good one. Whatever the case, they'll do everything in their power to convince others that she is she and nothing else is amiss. She's the driver that loves to trick victims into isolated locations in order to let the mists take them and is the initial factor when encountering Yog.

    When interacting with Yog, as his male "avatar" he's usually ready to make a more public appearance. It's usually used to interact with other villains if he even bothers to attend and he's more serious and to the point when donning this appearance. He usually uses his villain costume in this form. Another thing of note, it is in this form that Yog will generally lose his sense in if he begins to lose control of his emotions and succumb to madness.

    In his "true form" when his quirk goes haywire and he loses himself to the madness Yog is unreasonable and any and all actions are random. All for the delight of chaos and madness to run amock. His voice seethes with convincing mockery and he'll do everything in his power to convince you it's all over. However, while extremely dangerous in this form it's his weakest and the one he is usually able to be contained in.

    HISTORY:

    Yog's history is muddles in mystery. His background is unknown and it is hard to tell when his first appearance occured since there's various mentions of similar beings/creatures/people and accounts of similar occurencecs throughout history. At the moment however, Yog is better known as a dangerous villain by the name of Hope's End.

    WIP!


    QUIRKS:

    Madness: Both self and against others - On others, Madness is a mental corruption over time quirk that manifests itself as a cold fog. Prolonged exposure within the fog slowly begins to deteriorate one's sanity. Slowly, they'll begin to hear voices, see nightmarish visions and become more succeptible to suggestions they normally wouldn't follow and in more weak willed individuals they might end up being controlled/display devotion to the user. Those who cannot be controlled might display bouts of madness until they leave the affected zone and for some time after depending on the lenght of the exposure. In more extreme/rare cases if someone is succeptible to mutations, those might become enhanced/distorted for a short time after being exposed for too long to the fog.

    If unable to materialize the corrupting myst, Yog can corrupt the mind in a much more minor scale through his whispers but this is much more close range, slowly driving the listener insane if they don't leave his area of effect.

    A major weakness in the fog is that it being contained within the emanation, it can be blown away by wind and/or other similar bouts of forceful air movements. Armaments/Suits unless completely sealed hermetically do not protect the wearer as the corruption can seep in through cracks.

    On his self, the Madness can influence his personality and decisions as well as his strength and stamina. Yog contantly battles to remain in control in order to make their plans happen, however when unstable they might succumb to the madness and go on a rampage allowing for their mutation to happen.

    Alter Self: A mutation like quirk, Yog has three forms they use to interact with the world. Sarah, his bait form is that of a woman, often times red haired and with green eyes who acts the most normal of the three. She is the front face of their ploy and is the one they'll use when not plotting or doing official business.

    Yog, their alter ego and frontline form when acting amongst villains or media, is a male form. Generally with white hair and ice teal eyes, Yog usues this form when donning his villain armor and is usually also the stage that will almost always happen before he loses control if that comes to be. It is also his most physically strong form fighting at slightly above peak human performance but not to super strength level or agility.

    God of Death, this is the form they'll take when they've lost the fight to madness and his own quirks go ballistic. His chaotic influence becomes unstable and can't be targetted any longer. That said, it is better to approach with extreme caution as to not succumb to madness yourself. His actions are erratic and he transforms into a monster with many maws filled with rows of sharp pointed teeth. It also grows various tentacles of various sizes that can manifest his quirks in a more condensed form and should be avoided. When in this form, Yog cannot die, but can easily be contained if in arid environments or when drying agents are used. When this form is dried of all moisture, it goes dormant allowing for collection and entrapment.

    Note: On reasons why containment eventually fails. Yog's influence continually sifts outward when in dormant form and will eventually influence something or someone who will find a way to release them and set them free. Proximity only makes it more potent but the influence will eventually reach anywhere. However, this could take a varying degree of time up to years/decades depending on the location.

    COSTUME: Yog's villain costume is a black armorlike outfit with inky tendrils flailing about that can become solid and weapons at will. A center piece in his armor that looks like a hole emanates a green glow and is the main source of the corrupting myst.

    HEY CUTIE I know who you are so I can pseudo-hit on you. Maybe. I'm sorry.

    I like that ultimately this quirk is dependent on hallucinations. I think it'd be more interesting if Yog didn't actually transform but used their power to twist people's vision of them, which could be penetrated by someone perhaps immune to those quirks.

    Imagine as if Aizawa used his quirk on them. What would they look like? What could be halted and what couldn't?

    [personal profile] glassestsukkomi 2017-04-27 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
    CHARACTER NAME: Makoto Yuuki
    CANON: Ensemble Stars!
    AGE/AU AGE: 16 all around man
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: I'm putting Makoto in with the support teams, so he is pretty readily avoiding having any kind of alias.
    OCCUPATION: Support! Specifically of the intelligence-gathering variety.
    PERSONALITY:
    ☼ Puts on a facade of being a sociable, fun guy
    ☼ Actually very socially awkward, especially around girls, and especially especially when alone with girls
    ☼ Enjoys playing the part of the 'straight man' to anyone's 'funny man'
    ☼ Likes making puns, but isn't exactly very good at it
    ☼ Hardworking and wants to overcome his pitfalls - he'd actually love to be a hero if he could get over his awkwardness
    ☼ Very self-conscious about a lot of things about himself, including the way he looks without his glasses on
    ☼ Likes knowing EVERYTHING - goes out of his way to find out all the little pieces of information he can, just because
    HISTORY: In keeping with the basic history of Enstars:
    - Worked as a model as a very young boy up until a couple of years ago
    - Got out of the modelling business partly because there was an older model that gave him the willies but mostly because they wanted more and more out of him that he just couldn't deliver
    - Decided to try his hand at being a hero because you can be center stage without being yourself and that's good, right??
    - Got shifted to support because he really doesn't have any qualifications for being a hero oops
    - Is pretty happy with working with the support teams though because this stuff is super interesting - like heroes behind the scenes!
    QUIRK: Makoto's quirk works well for information gathering. He can physically remove both of his ears and leave them somewhere to listen in on conversations while he is outside of the room. The signal is transmitted wirelessly directly to him and since ears are small, it's easy to hide them from whoever he is attempting to eavesdrop on.

    There's a lot of downsides to this quirk, though. He can only hear as long as he is within 100 feet of his ear, so he has to be sneaky about being nearby. Additionally, if he has left both of his ears somewhere, he won't be able to hear anything going on immediately around him. Furthermore! If someone were to discover his ear, it would be highly susceptible to being destroyed and if he were to misplace an ear or have it stolen, there would be no way for him to find it unless he came close enough to hear again.

    So while it's a handy quirk, it's... not a very good one.
    COSTUME: N/A!!! Gosh that'd be so embarrassing. orz;;

    CANON: Fate/
    AGE/AU AGE: I...dk yet. im thinking early 30s cause of her au history
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: if someone can give me something bride themed that sounds cool ill love ya forever
    OCCUPATION: Hero!
    PERSONALITY:
    - her surface personality is fairly quiet. she doesn't speak much, when she does she's succinct or soft spoken. she prefers communicating through gestures or actions
    - also appears to be very shy. she doesn't really approach people first, preferring to keep to herself
    - despite this, she's very strong willed and even super stubborn when she decides on something. it's only when she shows this side of herself people realise she isn't timid at all despite appearances
    - very empathetic and caring. likes to love and be loved
    HISTORY:

    - Born in Italy, Francesca was arranged to be married to a doctor by her parents at a fairly young age, which she complied with if only because she was young and naive...she wanted their approval so did everything they asked her, but also had this romanticised idea of marriage and etc at the time, so just expected it to be All Good.
    - Having the wedding in Japan, where she was going to live from then on with him.
    - Doctor decided it was...kind of a messed up arrangement, really, and that for everyone's sake it would be better if the marriage didn't go through.
    - So he, uh, left her at the altar instead of handling it as he should have. She was heartbroken and also her parents wanted nothing to do with her, since this kind of scandal would besmirch the family name.
    - She had to take care of herself all of a sudden and decided she'd work her way to a comfortable lifestyle in Japan instead of going home.
    - At this point in her life, she owns a flower shop! The ground floor is reserved for work, while she lives in the floor above that.
    - She keeps her superhero life totally secret and separate from her civilian life, even to other heroes and friends...i mean if it works that way here, idk im canon blind. IM GOIN OFF WESTERN CAPE COMICS

    QUIRK:

    Francesca's ability is kind of a mishmash of some of her canon abilities, simply referred to as Galvanism

    Its basic function is harmlessly converting non-material attacks that make contact with her body into electricity and storing it inside of her. If it isn't expelled through one of her abilities below, a slow, controlled release of the stored energy occurs, done in such a way that it's completely harmless. At most you might just feel a little static in the air.

    However, in combat, she has options. When she converts energy into electricity, she can:

    - Store the energy in her body. This ups her physical capacity. She becomes overall stronger/tougher/faster, which scales higher the more electricity she stores. However, this has a limit, and if she goes above what she can handle, her body starts to heat up and burns will even start appearing across her skin. She could hypothetically endure the pain and keep storing energy to fight above her own limits, but it would lead to her own death, so she wouldn't really risk it. Secondly, the buffs aren't considerable enough to keep up with someone's specialty. If someone's quirk involves super speed, unless it's not a considerable buff to their own speed, she won't be able to move fast enough to outspeed them. Same goes for becoming stronger or more durable; it doesn't allow her to overpower opponents, just keep up with them enough to fight them.
    - Bolster any action she takes. For example if she jumps and uses up a stored "charge" of electricity, she can jump higher. If she throws a punch or kick, she can expend it to make the strike hit harder. The force of her attacks if buffed like this far exceed what she is capable of when she simply stores the energy, but it uses up a lot of energy which means she'll essentially debuff herself to use it. It's a high risk/high reward aspect of her quirk.
    - Expend all of the electricity she's stored inside of her body at once. It manifests as a massive discharge of electricity with a wide area of effect, but it isn't an ability in and of itself, instead simply an uncontrolled release of all her stored energy at once - and because it's not how she's supposed to use her ability, it damages her enough in the process that after using it, she'll be rendered unable to keep fighting. It's a last resort attack that, if it can't finish off her opponent, leaves her completely vulnerable.

    The weakness to her quirk is fairly obvious - if she doesn't have a source of energy around her to convert, such as fire/lasers/whatever, she's no more use to someone in a fight than a regular human of her stature, meaning someone above average human strength could take her out fairly handily. It also puts her at a major disadvantage against villains who just fight physically, or smarter opponents who opt to just run at her and beat her up without using their ability.

    COSTUME: The armour here from the neck down, but with this visor. Also, a lot of the extraneous looking parts that would take ages to put on aren't really there; it's mostly just a bodysuit with boots and greaves, they just look fancy.

    Reine Akai (Agent); 7th Dragon III

    [personal profile] madstrifedotexe 2017-04-28 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
    CHARACTER NAME: Reine Akai
    CANON: 7th Dragon III: Code VFD
    AGE: 22
    HERO ALIAS: Red Queen
    OCCUPATION: Pro-hero; crime fighter
    PERSONALITY: Playful and flirtatious, Reine projects a nonchalant, devil-may-care attitude worthy of a hacker. Yet when push comes to shove she displays an incredibly strong heroic instinct that drives her to unhesitatingly put her life on the line to protect people.

    HISTORY: Born to an ordinary couple living an ordinary life in an ordinary home, Reine showed no sign of possessing a quirk in her early years. What she did have was a natural affinity for computers, which rapidly blossomed into a singular talent for programming... and hacking. Driven not by malice but the simple desire to challenge and improve herself, she would continue to build and flex her virtual muscle, gaining a measure of renown in such circles.

    It was around this point that her quirk began to manifest, adding to her already considerable prowess — which very nearly became her undoing when she stumbled upon a villainous conspiracy. Completely out of her depth against such powerful foes, yet unwilling to back down, only the intervention of an older pro-hero spared Reine's life. Noting her potential and wishing to set her down the right path, the hero sponsored her enrollment in UA, where she would master the new abilities afforded by her quirk. She ultimately graduated with solid marks, soon becoming a hero to watch.

    QUIRK:
    Mastery
    An unusual form of latent power that expresses itself through the mundane skill that its owner prizes most. As Reine's quirk, Mastery combines with her computing expertise to make her a kind of super-hacker capable of feats of technological wizardry that should not logically be possible.

    The foremost example of this is the ability to digitally hijack the mental processes of living beings. The brain naturally puts up its own "firewalls" to protect itself, but the strain of doing so clouds the mind, making it difficult for victims to think clearly and focus on the battle before them. Once she's passed their defenses, Reine can severely hinder her unfortunate foes in many ways. For a few examples, she can force them to harm themselves or their allies; wrack their bodies with intense pain, draining them of their energy; or induce in them a deep slumber that even strong physical trauma will not easily rouse the sleeper from.

    The downside? These things take time, and Reine has to be within reasonable distance of a living target for her cyber-attacks to be effective. This puts her at considerable risk, as it's obviously tough for her to defend herself and hack at the same time. What's more, the stronger a target's mind is, the more resistant they are to the effects and the more difficult it is for her to seize control.

    COSTUME: Maybe something with the same general aesthetic as her canonical outfit but a tad less shamelessly revealing?

    tbf, racy costumes are totally a thing for superheroes... Publicity/Popularity are almost as important as practicality.

    [personal profile] mowing 2017-04-28 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
    CHARACTER NAME: Kasumi Kojima
    CANON: OC
    AGE/AU AGE: 17
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: I have no idea tbh, I'm open to ideas!
    OCCUPATION: Student, hero class
    PERSONALITY:
    - outwardly very polite, relaxed, composed and really chill. also probably tired most of the time you see her
    - inwardly dealing with a lot of self-esteem issues because she's a HUGE perfectionist and holds herself to high expectations so she's like also empty inside lmao
    - a very good liar
    - cares way too much about what other people think of her so that's why she carries a pleasant demeanor
    - has a problem with not knowing how to tell people 'no' so she'll aid anyone she can if they need her basically

    HISTORY:
    - played piano since she was very young
    - auditioned in intermediate school to get into a prestigious music academy for high school, but immediately froze up before even playing her piece, ran off-stage and quit ever since
    - her parents, instead of encouraging her to keep going, discouraged her from pursuing piano any further. "maybe it's not for you."
    - wound up working at her mother's flower shop instead for a while and just. settled with that in eternal disappointment....rip

    QUIRK: Kasumi can create and project giant flowers at her enemies, one at a time. Each flower contains a different status effect (think: Pokemon) that's selected at random. These effects only last less than a minute, though, and Kasumi cannot choose what kind of effect to send at her enemies. The petals fall off, sort of like a timer: when the last petal falls, the effect is over.
    COSTUME: hmm can't really think of any right now :|a

    CHARACTER NAME: Jeanne D'Arc Alter
    CANON: Fate/Whatever
    AGE/AU AGE: An ephemereal dream, instant yet eternal / 16
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: Assault Girl (tentative)
    OCCUPATION: Hero course student
    PERSONALITY:
    1) Tries very hard to be edgy, tries to make it look like she hates everything.
    2) Probably does hate almost everything.
    3) But also fundamentally wants to protect everyone.
    4) Weak to praise, easily jealous.
    5) Which makes her really competitive.
    6) Basically the worst hero, but really good at beating up villains.
    7) Tsundere for justice, basically.

    HISTORY: I haven't really figured this out, but the general idea behind Jeanne Alter is that she was a saintly figure who after being betrayed, decided to take revenge against the world. Bending it into the AU, I think it would be great if she had an authority figure she was seeking revenge against, and figures the best way to get to him is through the hero course. Endeavour burnt her house down, or something.

    QUIRK: The easy one would be pyrokinesis, but then so many people already set things on fire, so...

    "Avenger," a quirk that makes her more powerful the more damage she's taken. All stats increase, from her strength, to her durability. In theory she's invincible if beaten within an inch of her life, but then once the adrenaline wears off...

    COSTUME: Her canon outfit is so good though...

    DEBATING BETWEEN THESE TWO: Cagliostro|Granblue Fantasy and Suzuki Satomi (Benten)|Uchouten Kazoku

    [personal profile] transcutation 2017-04-29 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
    CHARACTER NAME: Cagliostro
    CANON: Granblue Fantasy
    AGE/AU AGE: Over 1000/Maybe Over 100? Depends on quirk
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: Life Alchemist
    OCCUPATION: Teacher
    PERSONALITY:
    -Act Super Cute, like, ridiculously cute and adorable
    -Is actually an egostical little shit
    -Doesn't actually care who knows it, it's not a secret persona
    -Like she will swap between calling herself "Cagliostro~" and speaking as sweetly and cutely as possible and then calling herself "Ore-sama" and being a rude-ass arrogant shit the next sentence (just for example, not actually how I'll write her talking)
    -Incredibly smart, driven by a need to know everything about the fundamental constructs of the world
    -Entirely for her own benefit; she's not actually too concerned about sharing that knowledge with others
    -And only vaguely concerned about morality
    -But she also loves attention so being a teacher and a public figure suits her better than a villain
    -Will bust your ass if you try to bring up her origins
    HISTORY: Depending on her quirk she's either an extremely precocious teenager who is genius enough to have already finished grad school and gotten a teaching license or she's a genius because she's literally over a hundred years old, and may have contributed greatly to the fields of chemistry and biology.
    QUIRK:
    -Earth Manipulation:The more boring but safer option is that she has an earth manipulation quirk - she can pull up walls of it or even create lifelike beasts (usually a giant snake) or compress it into spikes. Kind of ineffective indoors or in heavily constructed areas where she can't access dirt. Precedence: Mandalay, Cementoss
    -Body Transmutation: more dangerously, she has the ability to recreate her body - she can reform it as she likes, including basically healing injuries by usurping biological material from other parts of her body. This lets her survive seemingly fatal wounds, though it would eat a huge amount of stamina. This also has made her able to avoid aging. Possible weaknesses are the fact that she isn't actually healing anything or growing new material, she's just moving about cells from one part of her body to another, so this could let her stop bleeding but at the cost of weakening other parts of her body; actual recovery would take actual rest and care. Alternately, it's a very slow process, taking hours or days - this means she can say, grow back an arm or a leg over time, something no one could normally recover from, but doing something like sealing fatal blood loss takes too long and she'd need normal first aid to survive that. I'm more interested in it lending to her longetivity/ability to change her body more than it's combat potential. Precedence: The USJ Noumu's regeneration ability, AFO's anti-aging quirk.
    -Homonculus: On the more esoteric side, Cagliostro could have the ability to create new bodies that she's able to transfer her consciousness to. These can be shaped to her will and disintegrated at her will. However, she has to actively "pilot" them, that is, her consciousness can only be in one body at a time, so usually she doesn't bother keeping a spare around since she still has to feed it/otherwise bodily function it, and they take a lot of time and energy to create - and sleep is tied to her conscious mind, so she can't avoid sleeping by swapping between bodies. This lets her get out of a lot of permanent injuries while not letting her escape immediate threats. To consider is the range she can "jump" between bodies, that is, how close does she have to keep a spare to be able to use it as an escape hatch if she prepared one beforehand. Again, main purpose is for how she avoided aging/how she knows so much despite appearing so young. Precedence: Twice, though her clones are permanent but non-autonomous, and she can't clone others.
    -Ouroboros: She has a giant snake. It's sort of a psychic projection, but with physical power. It's very strong and does all the fighting for her. Also she can merge with it (it eats her) to increase its power and mobility - plus when it spits her back out, she'll be good as new. This is how she's remade her body/avoided aging. However, the snake is also her weakness - if it dies, she dies, no matter what. And obviously, if you can separate them, Ouroboros can't save her from injury or death either.
    COSTUME: Probably something like her canon costume since she'd either have a long-range quirk or a non-combatent one; either way she's more a teacher than a pro-hero.

    [personal profile] voracist
    CHARACTER NAME: Suzuki Satomi
    CANON: Uchouten Kazoku/The Eccentric Family
    AGE/AU AGE: Late Twenties/Same
    HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: Benten
    OCCUPATION: Teacher with questionable morals or Villain with questionable morals (more I'm So Rich Laws Don't Apply than actually malevolent or trouble-making)
    PERSONALITY:
    -Capricious, Whimsical, Selfish
    -Does things mostly for her own amusement
    -Prone to melancholy and drama
    -Can be vicious and spiteful as hell
    -Highly intelligent, elegant, moves with grace and poise
    -But will not hesitate to kick your ass
    -Really enjoys her leisure time
    -Mysterious or just capricious brat? You decide.
    -Decisive and forceful
    -Basically, a whirlwind.
    HISTORY: Taken in by an elderly eccentric at a young age, she studied under his tutelage in a number of matters, legal and not-so-legal. Eventually though, she surpassed him and took her due - she stole part of his quirk, leaving him crippled. To this day he doesn't realize she's responsible though, so he still pines for her company while she general keeps him at arms length, more interested in other, newer amusements. As a villain she'd be using her connections and abilities to live in high style, somewhat above the law. As a teacher, she'd be still living comfortably thanks to her connections and business acumen, but have leveraged some time as a pro-hero to get a teaching position at UA because she's curious to see what sort of amusing people are among the next generation of heroes.
    QUIRK: A Taste of Heaven/A Bite of Hell - In either case, Benten would be keeping her actual quirk hidden, but if she were a teacher she'd be keeping it very hidden. Publicly, her Quirk is the power to kiss someone and copy their Quirk temporarily, for probably just a few minutes to an hour depending on the length of contact. In actuality, her ability to is to take in genetic material and copy their quirk for much longer depending on how long it remains in her system - which is to say, if she literally eats a piece of someone's body or drinks their blood or the like, she can copy their Quirk for possibly days or even longer. In fact, because of what she took from her former teacher, she's permanent gained his power of levitation - enhanced jumping, minor wind manipulation - and permanently crippled his. It's so involved though and the consequences so dire she hasn't done anything like this to anyone else, and rarely uses "A Bite of Hell". Precedence: Monoma, AFO
    COSTUME: She's not really into costumes... but maybe something vaguely tengue-themed.
