@rob

if a convincing backstory is legit enough to make a character stronger then my guy should be OP Op!

And he only uses half of his quirk, SO THERE'S THAT.

I think those two will make a lovely couple ;P

@samreaper Your guy eventually transforms into All Might. He has the arms down, so basically human exodia.
@Tominas ...I saw what you did there.

Before that, we gotta figure out what type of dere each character is.

Awesome. Important question though: how do you feel about power armor? I was going to make a guy who's quirk, while handy, doesn't directly assist him in combat so he relies on power armor to help him in a fight. He got it from his late dad, who my dood help build said power armor.

@Lucius Cypher Uhm, sounds cool, but you won't have access to anything like a power suit any time soon.

Technically someone has to have the strongest Quirk but I dunno if it needs to be broken.

Have your chara's senior project be something like Power Armor that he slowly improves throughout his career at Kosei. Starting with something cobbled together but ending with a full suit. Kind of like how the Support Class people are like.

@Lucius Cypher Take a look at the suggestion by @Pirouette. We could work something out that would be similar to that. That seems way more acceptable for me.

I guess so. I was hoping to start out with at least the exoskeleton, with his hero costume budget going into putting armor into it. Other bells and whistles being added later throughout his career. It's current uses is being tanky as hell, taking on heavy punishment and doing damage by hitting things really fast with really hard fists.

I should warn you now that his ability has nothing to do with the armor itself, and while it certainly has some uses, it basically amounts to "doesn't get tired or hungry". I fully intend to use that quirk to allow him to be productive or at least active at all hours, since he doesn't require sleep or even sustenance. Not that he can't sleep or eat mind you, he just doesn't need to. I don't really have a drawback to this power either since aside from his apparently abundant energy, his quirk doesn't improve his physical abilities in any way. Not is it particularly flashy; his backstory discovering his power mostly involves him feeling restless as a kid and simply never going to bed when he was suppose to.

@Lucius Cypher Well, an exoskeleton seems too much for me. And I'm not really sure to the extents you're going for with this armor. Like mentioned earlier, if you want to have a suit/equipment, we start small then we build from there.

So a quirk that allows self-sustenance to an incredible degree? He could train non-stop though and just become a physical beast. It terms of fatigue, does he experience it or he just doesn't feel it?

I mean, where else could I start with power armor? Exoskeletons are literally the bare bones of power armor.

As for fatigue, he kinda does but doesn't suffer from it.. He doesn't get tired out, though he can still sustain injuries and feel pain. So if he works so hard that he strains his muscles he'll know it. His power largely lets him accomplish idle work long into the night.

As for why he hasn't used this time to get swole, again, he's spent most of his free time (and when you don't have to sleep, it's a a lot more than you think) working on his armor. He also has regular school stuff he's presumably been working on as a kid so he couldn't just go hole himself up in his house to become the perfect body. He's actually quite pudgy.

Edit:

To put it in another perspective, if he had a stamina and a health bar, he has a constantly regenerating stamina bar, but a regular health bar. As long as he doesn't hurt himself he can keep going for as long as he wants, but if he gets injured or his body takes notable damage he has to let his body recover, even if he himself feels fine.

I suppose his power also gives him a sort of high pain tolerance too since normally when you're fatigued you're tired, but because he doesn't get tired he'll not feel the fatigue.

I'll be gone for the next 4 days. I'll have access to net, but I doubt I can do anything productive; will most likely be on discord.

I've made updates for the training facility group and for Severa/Ryoma. I'll be posting it before I leave.

The main exoskeleton looks like this. The guts and bones of the power armor. It's capable of a high carry weight, though that doesn't mean it has the strength to tear apart cars or anything. At best it can lift one end of a car up. The main use of the exoskeleton is to provide armor and protection: the frame alone is tough enough to withstand direct gunfire and the entire suit is made to absorb high impact like falling from great heights or cars. It's less effective against attacks that can move around the openings like actual bullets or blades, though that I hope to overcome by putting some actual armor over the frame.

And yes, that's the just of his powers. Not flashy but certainly useful in a roundabout way. He's not going to be insta killing bad guys with it, but it has a lot of utility, which fit a guy from a support class, he could always use more of.

And yeah, the fact he spends so much time on his armor as well as other obligations is why he himself hasn't utilized his quirk to strengthen his body. He actually hopes to attend this school so he could focus more on his body and his mech without getting mired up in school work that he considers beneath him.

He feels pain sure, but like your second responds says, when he feels pain that means that he's over exerting himself. He can still trudge onwards despite that, overheating his body for whatever reason, but it will do more damage to his body that he won't be able to black out from. In a way his quirk can be a curse too, since he'll be entirely conscious despite his excruciating pain, to the point that even once his body does wear out and he's completely paralyzed, he'll still be awake and helpless to do anything about it. Which is why he relies on his power armor.

I'm aware that one doesn't need super physical abilities in order to be an effective hero, and most get by simply with proper training with their quirks augmenting or offering additional abilities, but in this instance my focus is less about my character's physical preformance and more about his armor. Sure while he could have done the normal thing and just train his body, he had the opportunity to inherit his father's power armor, and that isn't an opportunity that he could afford to waste. Sure he only has it because his father more or less gave it to him, but then again it's not as if people can chose the quirks they're born with either. He had a good thing going for him so he tries to make the most of it.

@Lucius Cypher Yeah, gonna say no to the exoskeleton. Like I said, bits and pieces.

Which is why he relies on his power armor.
Since he doesn't have enhanced endurance, when he feels pain, he's more than just over exerting himself. Where did the overheating come from again? And why can't he pass out? I thought he didn't need sleep? Is it actually not being able to sleep too?

If you want your character to focus on his armor, I'm cool with that. He just needs to start off with nothing at the bottom.

I use overheating as a figure of speech. Overheating, over exerting, etc.

As for not passing out that's a sort of secondary function of his "never tired" quirk, specifically that he neither requires sleep nor can he be forced into sleep/unconsciousness. He can still choose to, but usually that's under more pleasant circumstances like sitting in a comfy chair or being really bored during a lecture, not writhing in pain.

That being said still kinda working out his quirk too. I was thinking that he simply isn't able to sleep, which does help feed his restless and impatient personality since he doesn't like to sit still for long periods of time. Maybe during school he ought to pic up meditation or something. All of it is still WIP.

Anywhoozies. For the sake of compromises I suppose we could stay with bits and pieces. Maybe just shock absorbing boots and something that helps him carry heavy loads. No real armor just yet.

@Lucius Cypher I think you should right down the details of the quirk you wanna go with instead of slowly divulging parts of it after a few posts. It kinda gets confusing when a new aspect is suddenly introduced.

Shock absorbing boots? Nah. I said bits and pieces, he'll start with nothing and focus on support course types of training. I mean, that's the whole purpose of the RP. To kinda be a student and train. With the classes/training he'll be taking, he can learn how to make the gear he wants, gradually building up to more impressive tech.

Nothing to his name but his quirk huh? Kinda makes me wish his quirk was a bit more useful if ...

I guess it wouldn't work out. I was hoping for a more tech oriented hero, but it doesn't seem to mesh well here. Alas. Have fun then.

@Lucius Cypher I mean, you still don't have a character, so you can make the quirk more useful if you want. Its pretty useful as it is, but if you aren't going the physical route, then I guess its pretty mediocre.

See ya, dude.
