Name: Gérard Belsaint

Alias: St. Silex

Age: 16

Appearance:

Quirk: SiliCannon
SiliCannon is an emitter-type quirk which allows the manipulation of silicon. The quirk draws on the body's trace reserves of the element, located in the bones, hair, and nails for the most part. Consequently, all users of this quirk must necessarily be regular practitioners of geophagy, the consumption of soil/clay. Fortunately, the quirk adapts the user's body to such requirements, and many of the unpleasant side-effects of geophagy are therefore avoided. The emission point for SiliCannon is most typically the hands, however this is not a hard and fast limitation. The most common usage of SiliCannon is to generate a biological equivalent to glass, for a variety of purposes. The silicon must be structured to the user's desire whilst being emitted, because the quirk does not grant manipulation over glass, merely the generation of silicon itself which can result in the creation of glass structures.

History: Gérard is a French expatriat who came to Japan with his mother, and decided to attend UA. He is passable in Japanese, but is often known to curse in his langue maternel when his emotions are running high, or simply because he wishes to amuse himself. His childhood was charmed, and his mother moved to Japan because her company's headquarters relocated there, and so she brought Gérard with her. He has spent roughly half his life in Japan, but despite being fluent in the language, he still gets mistaken for a foreigner. He doesn't mind terribly however, because he takes advantage of his seeming alienness to get girls who are attracted to him purely for his nationality/ethnicity. Since he knows the culture, and the language, he really does have an unfair advantage, in the dating game. Since he set his sights on UA, he has shifted focus, hoping to become a truly respectable hero who can finally (maybe) be viewed as a true Japanese citizen.

Faction: Hero

Gear: Standard Issue UA uniform, glazier's toolbox, costume prototype.

Other: The appearance of Gérard's nails and hair are slightly more reflective and shiny, which is evidence of the increased silicon content in those body parts.

Motto: Maintenant, faisons-nous l'amour!

Name: Kazue Koga

Alias: Medusa

Age: 16

Appearance:

Quirk: Laser-Eyes
Laser-Eyes is an emitter type quirk that grants the user the ability to shoot lasers from their eyes.

History: Kazue grew up in Nerima-ku, and felt estranged by her parents who were always working. They left her alone for much of her childhood, leaving her to fend for herself. A fearsome quirk, her parents told themselves, would keep her safe even if they could not. Unfortunately, or fortunately, she found a family with a clan of Yakuza. She is being sent to UA in order to masquerade as an aspiring hero, since she also clearly has the necessary quirk capabilities to be a formidable hero or villain, however she has the interests of her Yakuza family firmly at heart, and is willing to reap every last drop of knowledge and training from UA in order to become the most formidable villain in all of Japan, in order to carry her family to the top.

Faction: Villain

Gear: Cute Wardrobe, Standard UA Uniform, and a vast collection of mirrors and reflective surfaces.

Other: She has a very cute laugh. Very innocent-looking. Has complete heterochromia iridum, with the properties of her quirk changing depending on the which eye is used.

Motto: Hasn't anybody ever told you it's rude to stare?

Name: Alina Volkov
Alias: Likhoradka
Age: 19
Appearance:

Quirk: Gluttony – Alina’s quirk is both a mutation type and a power type. Her teeth are not normal human teeth, but rather a set of razor sharp, triangular teeth similar to that of a great white shark. In addition to this she has an extra appendage tucked inside her body that she can extend out of her mouth; her normal mouth can open wider than normal to accommodate this. This extra limb is 6 feet long when fully extended and ends in a second mouth 8 inches wide that can open a full 180 degrees. This appendage can extend and retract at blinding speed, often faster than the eye can see, and can bite with enough force to splinter bone and cut flesh, allowing Alina to snap up whatever it is she wants to eat before it even realises she has set her sights on it.

The second part of her quirk is the fact that anything swallowed by this second mouth does not go to her stomach, but is instead instantly digested and metabolised, though it still seems to sate her hunger somehow. This allows Alina to consume substances that most people cannot even imagine eating as well as being able to do so almost instantly. The more Alina consumes in this manner, especially anything containing protein and calcium, the stronger she gets; a well fed Alina is superhumanly strong and tough, has near endless stamina and can heal very rapidly. These enhancements diminish the longer she goes without eating in this manner, as the energy she absorbs from what she eats is used up, until she is no stronger than a regular person of her stature.

The third and final part of her quirk is that even the food eaten with her normal mouth is metabolised extremely fast, allowing her to absorb nutrients from food much quicker and heal at a faster than normal rate, as well as maintain a slim figure no matter what she eats. The downside of this is that she is always hungry.

History: Alina was born in a small Russian town in the Kamchatka republic, near the eastern coast. Her family was poor and they lived a meagre existence; they could afford few luxuries, and everyone had to work their share, though food was always available and they were happy for the most part. When Alina first developed her quirk it seemed like a curse; it did nothing but grant her sharp teeth and burden her with a voracious appetite and her family was unable to cope with her increasing requests for more food.

The hunger was unbearable; the endless, maddening hunger. Alina began to waste away, her increased metabolism meaning that her body soon began cannibalising its own reserves to sustain itself. She would wander around town in a stupor, looking for something to eat, too weakened and too driven by hunger to do anything else. In this state it wasn’t long before desperation caused her to discover the other parts of her quirk.

The first time she used her second mouth it was to snatch food, a burger, out of the hand of a passer-by, reacting on instinct and moving so quickly that neither she nor her victim really knew what happened; it felt so good to eat something substantial that she didn’t even notice that she had also grabbed two of his fingers as well.

With her newfound abilities Alina found that she didn’t have to go hungry any longer. She could eat anything she wanted; anything alive at least, it was all in her reach. She started with wild animals; birds, squirrels, rats, even the occasional fox or rabbit that could be found in the woods on the edge of the town. She would disappear for hours at a time, her family was concerned, but she always seemed to come home safe and sound and she was no longer wasting away so they gave her freedom; she was a teenager now after all, they kept strange hours sometimes.

It wasn’t long before peoples pets began to disappear.

It was perhaps only by chance that a vigilante found her; probably just passing through town, since someone like that wouldn’t be in her town just investigating some missing animals. Vigilante was the right word, or maybe bounty hunter, since you couldn’t call what he did for a living heroic. He found her one night in an alleyway, resting after her last meal with the remains of it still on her face.

They found the pieces of him in the morning.

Alina moved to Japan soon after, having outgrown her small town somewhat, which contained a significantly smaller number of people now compared to when she first developed her quirk. She hoped that by moving somewhere larger and more populated she might find someplace more fun than her humdrum little Russian town; someplace with lots of delicious food to eat, with a thriving nightlife. Someplace with a soft underbelly where the heroes are a little softer than those found in the Motherland.

Faction: Villain
Gear: None
Other: Her alias comes from the name of a one-eyed creature in Slavic mythology which takes the form of an old hag. It has little to do with her quirk, but since she had one eye and likes to think of herself as the stuff of nightmares, she found it fitting.
She lost her eye in a fight with a vigilante in her hometown. He lost a lot more.
Motto: No matter how strong you think you are there’s always someone higher up the food chain than you.
