She seems to come from a poor background, though doesn't like to speak much about herself, often changing the topic to something or someone else. What little she does give away is her home in Aomori, where she misses the cold dearly, and how she was originally going into construction, but was convinced by her brother to give becoming a hero a go. It's hard to work her quirk without causing danger to others, so she's hoping she can refine it at a decent school, so she won't have to worry about hurting others. [color=black]Yomodachi tends to be a bit on the excessive side with her personality, at least when in larger groups. She proclaims boldly heroic messages, exclaiming proud, slightly obnoxious one-liners, similar to a certain hero from the Era of Peace. She seems rather confident in her abilities, understanding her own limitations and striving to better them in any way she can. However behind closed doors, or when in smaller groups, Azuki seemingly turns into someone else. Reserved, cold, hardened; her bright facade fades to reveal the dark reality beneath - a cynic lacking respect and self-worth.[/color][/list] [/b] [hr][hr] Miscellaneous: VA - not sure Theme - definitely sure [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNx88QhfXwo[/youtube] [hider=Don't look at this you spastics! Unless you're eRode. <3 u babe] [u][b]***Quirk Details:[/b][/u] Black and White is a 50-50 quirk inheritance as the result of the genetic lottery. Her father's quirk, Flash Freeze, creates a blinding light from the palm of the user's hand, instantly freezing any surface the light touches. Naturally this includes her own body. Azukina has done her best to find a way to cup her hand so the light won't freeze her body, however at best she can hope for her torso and below to be frozen. If you've seen Konosuba, it's like Megumin's explosion magic, where all her power goes into a single devastating attack which completely incapacitates the user. Her left arm will always freeze whenever she uses the attack, preventing her from using another, at least without repercussion. In spite of this being a rule of her quirk, it is possible to use flash freeze more than once, though like with Deku in the tournament arc, it's... not a good idea. Her right side can create boiling tar so long as it is touching a surface. While her skin is immune to the heat, this tar can quickly cook her inside if she becomes encased in it. She can manipulate it to a basic degree, though lacks practice as she hasn't used that half of her quirk in a long time. While both quirks can display immense power, they hardly compliment one-another at all, save for flash freezing the tar. However, there is incredible emotional baggage to using this technique. In fact, she refuses to use her right side because of an accident that resulted from it long ago, which resulted in her mother's passing. [u][b]***Quirk Development:[/b][/u] While at a glance Azukina seems like a cookie cutter Todoroki, her quirks fail to compliment one-another in the same way his do. Todoroki's fire and ice offset his weaknesses, whereas I want Yomodachi to have her light and tar amplify her strengths, though doubling down on her weaknesses. Because of the strength these two sides exhibit, it is impossible to use both in any given situation, as she lacks the control and fine tuning to switch between them. For a majority of the RP she will have to suffer with the choice of freezing herself or cooking herself, and development/training will revolve around mitigating the effects of these self-destructive abilities. Not much will change early in the RP. Her abilities will be self-destructive, and only one at a time. The only time this could potentially break is if she chooses to unlock her other half during a stressful event like Todoroki did, which would be a good chance to explore the side effects of using both rapidly without much control. So for the first few arcs, the only development she [i]might[/i] get is getting over herself and using her other half. After this I was thinking Yomodachi could learn to use her quirk in small amounts, creating small sparks of light like a sparkler which can cool a much smaller area, and generating small amounts of tar. It would be a long and lengthy process to even be able to use her quirk in a meaningful/continuous way, and I think you having the power to pick and choose if/how her quirk develops is the best option. After all you might come up with better ideas! [u][b]***Juicy Backstory Secrets:[/b][/u] Azukina accidentally killed her mother when she was young, due to a lack of control over her quirk and it going out of control. As a result she locks the side of her mother's quirk behind a mental barrier, refusing to use her tar. She does her best to hide her troubles behind a heroic facade, though isn't afraid to let individuals learn about her true nature. Naturally this created a lot of discord between herself and her father, whose relationship is still strained, even after all these years. [u][b]***Fears:[/b][/u] She honestly fears using her full strength, because she knows what she can do if she can't control it. She fears getting close to others only to hurt them, as her quirk is incredibly volatile. She fears herself, even, knowing that if she isn't careful her own body can easily be the death of her. She fears her father, who she anxiously awaits a confrontation which may or may not come, and she fears her emotions, knowing they're a major obstacle to keeping herself in check. More than anything else, Azuki fears losing control over anything, making her somewhat of a control freak. These are a lot of things to tie to one character, but that's more or less her point: she is incredibly gifted, yet simultaneously hampered, showing the extremes of strength and weakness both. Getting her strength under control is the name of the game with her character, like Deku learning to use OFA, but with some higher personal stakes. If you want to scare the shit out of Azukina, place her in a scenario where she lacks control of her quirk and it can cause harm to others, with a hint of juicy backstory bits![/hider] [/hider]
