[@Geyter] This guy okay? [HIDER=Gen. Info.] [center][color=a36209][b]Name:[/b][/color] Yōhō-ka Konchū [color=a36209][b]Age:[/b][/color] 14 [color=a36209][b]Gender:[/b][/color] Male [hider=Appearance] [img]https://safebooru.org//images/651/ff820e4a3cb11d6bd8cd546c48618f83e4103dcb.jpg?656639[/img] Konchu stands very tall, and is a mutant - in his case, he takes the appearance of a bipedal cockroach. His body is covered by a thick exoskeleton and he has an extra set of arms - however, each hand only has 3 fingers. He has no skin and, as consequence, no lips, causing his teeth to constantly be revealed. Luckily, he takes very good care of them, and he tries to make sure he is smiling most of the time in order to appear less threatening. Unlike a cockroach he has humanoid teeth, no wings, and he lacks any antenna. Additionally, on the inside, he is just like a normal human. While hard to see thanks to his exoskeleton, he possess decent muscles, thanks to constant training. Konchu possesses both an exoskeleton and an endoskeleton - while the exoskeleton gives him a small amount of armor, it hinders his range of motion, and makes his flexibility near nonexistent. Each finger on his hand is tipped with a sharp claw - Konchu uses them whenever a kitchen knife is unavailable. While they are hard to see, Konchu possess both eyes and ears - the ears are small holes that are covered by an operculum in order to protect them, and his eyes are just black and very small, making them hard to see. Like most roaches, he can detect sounds with his leg hairs - while it is more sensitive and able to pick up noise better than his ears, Konchu has no idea what people are saying when using them. Thankfully, modern society makes clothes for mutants - Konchu generally wears casual clothes, such as bowling shirts and blue jeans, but always makes sure to wear the school uniform when he is attending classes once he receives it. His hero uniform, as expected, is very similar to the professional hero Lunch-Rush. In fact, other than the mask and piping, it is essentially the exact same - only sized up.

However, this is only one of his dreams - his other being to help as many as people as possible. To this effect, he wishes to become a hero - not only to help those in need, but to also gain a reputation as "Cooking Hero Jr." and make his future business venture a success. He is a hard worker, and refuses to ever give up on something unless he has to. As expected of someone with dreams like this, Konchu loves cooking more than nearly anything else - just giving another person a good meal brings a tear to his eyes. Unfortunately, not many people are willing to try his food - apparently, being infested with bugs and looking like a giant cockroach make others less willing to try your meals. By becoming a well-respected hero, Konchu hopes people will stop this prejudice against him. Konchu has a penchant for food-based puns and strange catchphrases, and hates to see anyone go hungry. Konchu strives hard to make people happy, and believes that a good meal is the fastest way to cheer someone up - but should a meal prove ineffective, Konchu will go to extreme lengths to help those he considers friends (i.e. nearly everybody he knows). He is friendly, will always try to cooperate with others, and will stand up against others in order to protect those who can't protect themselves. An extremely easy way to get him to like you would be to compliment his cooking - he's always willing to make someone a meal if they ask! Unfortunately, his large stature and monstrous appearance makes him nervous of intimidating others, and Konchu is constantly worried he is unpopular because of it. Konchu was raised to always be kind to everyone - no matter who they were or what they believed in. As such, he goes to large lengths in order to help others, and is always willing to cooperate and compromise to help another. Even against people hostile towards him, Konchu always tries to be diplomatic and peaceful, but this rarely has worked in the past. Despite his kind nature and creativity in the kitchen, Konchu is far from the sharpest knife in the drawer - His entire life he could never get good grades, a source of constant shame for him. Konchu desperately tries to hide his low intelligence from others, afraid that they would insult him. Even though the hides it, however, he will occasionally misinterpret the meaning of words, and uses complicated words without knowing what they mean in order to sound smart. He reads at a 5th grade level. This is his second largest source of discomfort - no matter how hard he works to improve it, his grades never seem to rise. The only thing he is more ashamed of then this is his monstrous appearance, but there is no way to hide that. [color=a36209][b]Likes:[/b] [/color] Cooking Volunteer Work Eating Training Helping others Gambling Popularity [color=a36209][b]Dislikes:[/b][/color] People being Grossed out by him Stagnating Skipping meals Rudeness Breaking the rules Intelligence-related things Cold wind [color=a36209][b]History:[/b][/color] Born in the city of Osaka, Konchu was raised by a mother and father team who owned their own business - a small, family-owned traditional diner! Their, they sold traditional Osakan cuisine (at an affordable price, I might add!). His mother and father were kind parents, and raised him with love and care in mind - no matter what he did, they always gave him their full support. They gave him singing lessons, helped him practice drawing, and were always willing to lend a hand with his preschool studies - it rarely helped, but the thought was appreciated. Unfortunately, things changed at the age of 4. Konchu's quirk manifested itself later than most - he was nearly 4 and a half when it did manifest itself. He grew a foot taller, and a hard exoskeleton quickly grew over his skin - he was nearly sent to the emergency room since he didn't know how to control his quirk, and he quickly ran out of energy as bugs streamed from his orifices. Luckily, his mother's father, whom the quirk originated from, helped Konchu properly learn how to control it, saving his life. Unfortunately, having a child that spewed out bugs as a quirk and looked like a cockroach wasn't really good for business in a restaurant - the family diner, which his parents had worked so hard to maintain, quickly went under when news about Konchu's quirk started going around. Eventually, the couple was unable to support the failing establishment, and they sold it to a fast food chain. Despite losing their dream, his parents quickly bounced back - they took new jobs, both getting the same career at a larger restaurant, working as chefs. The made significantly less money and some would even call them poor, but they were frugal enough to make things work. Despite always telling him that it wasn't his fault, Konchu always blamed himself for the failing of his parent's dreams - this guilt manifested itself in his love of cooking. Every day, whenever his parent's had free time, Konchu would beg them to teach him a new recipe or technique, and they tried their best to oblige. Konchu also grew to idolize the famous chef's of the world - despite many not having quirks that were useful for cooking, they were still able to be well-accomplished chefs. No one, however, was more idealized than the hero Lunch-Rush. Upon learning the existence of Lunch-Rush and professional heroes in general at the age of 8, Konchu decided to become one himself. Many of the neighborhood ridiculed him, because at the time, he could barely control the insects that poured from his body - that was the reason his parent's restaurant went under. However, Konchu possessed a gift that was far more powerful than a naturally good quirk - he had the power of perseverance! Every day, after he finished school and practicing his cooking, he trained his quirk and body. Over the years, the number of insects he could control grew, and his quirk continued to mutate his body - as he could control larger numbers, his body grew larger in order to hold more. This, combined with his strength that he had trained intensely, catapulted him from "Weird, but not terrifying" to "Kill it with fire". Still, even at the age of 12 and being over 6' tall, his parents still supported their son - they were even saving up a large amount of money so he could go to a university with a good hero program. However, Konchu secretly refused to accept this - their was no way he would force his parents to support his dreams - he was doing this for them, not the other way around! He doubled down on his training, and finally, at the age of 14, he applied to U.A High. While it is by far the best Hero school in the country, Konchu was more focused on it for another reason - the chef of the academy was the famous Lunch-Rush! Of course, the great "Cooking Hero Jr." had to eat the meals of the original "Cooking Hero!" And so, Konchu sent forth his application - praying that, even with his low grades and a quirk not specialized for being a hero, his attitude and perseverance would win him the day! ...He never even got to take the entrance exam, as the academy viewed his quirk as "too disturbing" for becoming a hero. He was denied via letter, and keeps it in his wallet to remind him of his mission. Never the type to give up, Konchu instead applied for the summer camp of Monoha Academy, where he [i]wasn't[/i] immediately disqualified! [HIDER=Quirk Info.] [color=a36209][b]Name:[/b][/color] Living Hive [color=a36209][b]Description:[/b][/color] Numerous insects live inside of Konchu's body - these are made by consuming an excess amount of calories. They can be controlled within a 300 foot range, and Konchu can use their senses at will. Unfortunately, while looking through their senses can be done at will, he will feel pain when looking through large numbers (over 10) or if the insect he is looking through dies. In order to recover stamina to produce more insects, he must consume more food, making his endurance naturally low - should he use his quirk too much, he will eventually pass out, or even die. [color=a36209][b]Attacks/Applications[/b][/color] [i]Chili Pepper Assault:[/i] Unleashing a swarm of flying insects, Konchu sprays them with some irritant, such as mace or hot sauce. Then, he maneuvers them directly into an opponents eyes, mouth, or wounds, causing intense pain and creating a very good distraction. This is the move he has trained the most with, viewing it as his "Signature Move" [i]Black Pepper Restraint:[/i] Holding an opponent in his arms, he releases insets directly onto a person's face from his mouth. These insects, usually beetles or maggots, proceed to dig into their flesh. Thankfully, the opponent usually manages to shake Konchu off by this point, preventing serious harm. [i]Supersized[/i] (Locked): After training his quirk considerably, Konchu has finally learned how to manipulate the details of the insects he spawns. He can make them anywhere from a third of their normal size, all the way to three times their normal size. The larger they are, the more calories they need and the shorter they live, while smaller insects can be produced at a smaller cost. Other than being stronger at larger sizes, this does nothing else. [i]Boiled Onion Artillery[/i] (Locked): Using the infamous Bombardier Beetle, Konchu collects several or more of the beetle around his hand - upon doing so, the beetles release it's defense mechanism. This mass of liquid can be over 100 degrees Celsius, and is particularly irritating to the eyes and other sensitive parts. Unfortunately, it suffers in range, only being able to launch a few feet in front of Konchu. (WIP, can't really think of many right now. Plan on adding more at a later time/when he trains them). [color=a36209][b]Limitations:[/b][/color] [i]Armor Problem:[/i] Konchu's quirk lacks any form of armor piercing, making an opponent with even light armor that covers their entire body completely protected against it. [i]Timed:[/i] No matter how much food he consumes or what bugs he produces, they have a set lifetime - they are unable to live longer than 6 hours, with larger bugs lasting less time depending on how much larger they are. This prevents him from "Stocking up" and storing large numbers of insects. Fortunately, the process of actually spawning the bugs only takes a few seconds. [color=a36209][b]Weaknesses:[/b] [/color] [i]Insect Weakness:[/i] No mater how large or numerous they are, bugs are still bugs. Konchu's bugs are not any more resistant to fire and poison than any others, and those with area of affect quirks can easily be a hard counter for him. [i]No Poison:[/i] While he has the toxins of every insect in the animal kingdom to choose from, Konchu refuses to use anything lethal to humans - even somewhat dangerous poisons are only used in emergencies. This is more of a personal weakness then one related to his quirk, but there is little chance he will ever get over this weakness. [i]Energy Inefficient:[/i] While many quirks, like muscles, are stamina-based and can be pushed to go beyond their limits, Konchu's quirk is entirely calorie-based. As such, pushing himself will result in effects similar to malnutrition and starvation. Rapid use will cause severe consequences, and Konchu cannot "take a breather" in order to recover - he must eat once he runs out of energy, or else he'll faint (or worse). [/HIDER][/center] [/HIDER]
