CURRENT IC DEMOGRAPHICS

no subject
CANON: Undertale
AGE/AU AGE: 26
HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: Undyne the Undying
OCCUPATION: Pro Hero
PERSONALITY:
- UPBEAT AND FULL OF ENERGY.
- Hotheaded and rash.
- Also tends to be pretty stubborn and kinda just says whatever's on her mind, though she does have a filter.
- Sociable and outgoing.
- Ready to fight and or suplex anyone at all times. Especially if you're her friend.
- Easily intimidates and frightens others with her personality and looks.
- Despite using the former to her advantage, she's also kind of a softie. She cares deeply about her friends and would do anything for them.
- Has a strong sense of justice and wants to do the right thing, even if "the right thing" happens to be something pretty...not great.
- Huge otaku and a giant nerd. Totally practices monologues in front of her mirror.
- Blushes surprisingly easily in front of people she likes.
- Although her sense of justice is strong and she's willing to make the tough calls for the better, she still tends to view good and evil as kinda black and white. She's getting better about this, as she's noted the hypocrisy, but it's a work in progress. As is not holding grudges.
- Surprisingly cultured even though she has an informal (and frankly, kind of crass) way of speaking. Plays the piano and "cooks", for example.
- Her piano playing is good. Her cooking amounts to beating up food and almost causing a fire.
HISTORY:
- As a kid, she was a gigantic punk. Caused fights, refused to study and do homework, you get the idea.
- This kept on for a while until one day she met a hero whose name may or may not rhyme with Basgore Beamer. - He seemed like the coolest thing ever and Undyne desperately wanted to fight him.
- Obviously he refused. However she kept up right on trying. These attempts helped her grow closer to him.
- Over time he became a mentor of sorts to her and she mellowed out, at least as far as her jerkish tendencies went. This mentor made her realize that she should use her talents to acomplish something with her life. Like being a hero.
- Got into UA by recommendation and interned with the hero, becoming his sidekick and eventually becoming a hero of her own.
- While the exact details of her Quirk aren't fully known, her ability to take a ridiculous amount of punishment and keep right on swinging was what lead to her Hero name: The Undying. Or Undyne the Undying, who needs a secret identity anyway.
QUIRK: The Undying
Undyne's Quirk is based around emotion. Or, more specifically, one single emotion: determination. Basically the more Undyne believes in herself, the longer and stronger she can fight. How this works is that once active, she produces an energy of sorts that super charges her. This energy dulls her sense of pain and other senses which would interfere with her fighting, increases her strength and speed, while also raising her endurance to crazy levels. On top of this she can also project this energy outward in the shape of spears. Said spears can be held and sent outwards to strike, though only a few at a time and keeping one or more in existence rather than allowing them to fade takes a lot of energy.
You probably noticed, however, that I nothing was said about resistance. While many of Undyne's abilities go up when her Quirk is doing its thing, the damage reduction isn't really one of them. Sure she might not be able to feel the knife that was stabbed into her gut and her quirk will likely slow the bleeding and allow her to keep up the fight, it doesn't mean that she's going to stop being stabbed any time soon. She can still receive injuries and even have limbs cut off. It's just unlikely that she'll realize it until the fight's over and it wears off.
Which then causes her to feel even more pain than she would otherwise, and that's not even counting her other senses. Hunger, exhaustion, thirst, and more are completely shut down while she's fighting with her quirk active. This means that it's not unlikely for her to just completely pass out from a fight once it's over, or be overcome by the senses that were shut off. On top of this, the quirk comes with limits of its own. If Undyne strains herself for too long, her body can actually start to show signs of melting. Stop soon enough and it'll return back to normal, but fight too long and the damage could be irreversible or worse: she could actually disintegrate.
Gross.
As an addendum, it should be noted that's she's especially vulnerable to quirks that can effect emotions. She has high amounts of will power, but something like a quirk that produces hormones/pheromones or that can simply cause her to feel a certain way can lock her out from using her power entirely.
COSTUME: Basically this but she does have an eye patch. Also a helmet similar to her regular suit of armor has, that she may or may not use.

But really, this quirk is really good and has a reasonable balance in terms of what pushing the limit can do to her. I THINK IT'S GOOD STUFF.
