By the way, the three of us thought a bit earlier and decided that we will be taking 2 last characters and then, we will be closed for the time being.

Just letting you all know it.

Since some players have gone either missing or left the RP outright, we find ourselves able to accept two new players instead of just one, as the final members (for now) or this RP.

That being said:

@Krytavius Same as my two Co-GMs said ! I personally like the idea of the Quirk, but in a MHA setting I didn't see quite a lot of Mental Quirks. And as Windel said, this particular one would require almost constant OOC discussion to use against others. If you want to rely on Hand to Hand mostly, as you said, wouldn't it make more sense to pick a Quirk that goes towards that? otherwise you'll be left at a disadvantage.

@Heartfillia Love it. We already discussed it on Discord, and it seems to fall within that so I see no problem with it.

@floodtalon Another High temperature Quirk. I personally don't see anything wrong in it myself... Since she uses pieces of her bodies, like dead skin as you mentioned, it's safe to assume she doesn't have to wait to accumulate it, but can instead voluntarily 'create' it? As in, forces it off of herself, and regenerate it a bit faster, perhaps? This might be me just going wayyy too deep into this.

@Heartfillia, @floodtalon

After review, I have decided I will be accepting you two as the last two characters. Await the other GMs' opinion.

She can indeed produce high amounts of ash in a pinch, but at that point she would be using live skin and injuring herself.

I’m interested in applying a character. Is a mind reading quirk allowed? I always wanted to play a mind reader.

Hey ! I am glad you are interested !
About your Quirk idea, well...minds related quirks are possible because we've seen some in the show, but I see 2 immediate problems with a mind read type of quirk.

1. You'd need something to enable it. Straight out having psychic powers is not a quirk. Even in the show, that one guy who can controls people actions? (i forgot the name) can activate his quirk only if people answer to him. As far as I can tell, Quirks need to have an enabler that is directly related to your character's person. So for a mind read it could be touching the person, saying the person's name or something like that?

2. But even then, a mind reading power is very problematic because it would require constant communication with your fellow RPers partners. A very decent writer that was extremely good at communicating on Discord with others might achieve it, but then you'd be robbed of the experience of actual characters interactions because all of this would need to be discussed in advance.

To me, a Mind Reading power might be more of a problem / burden than it might be fun? Unless you can prove me otherwise, or some up with something original that I didn't think of !

Yeah, Mind Reading has always been troublesome for a lot of GM’s, so I’m willing to work stuff out. For starters my character has to see the person’s eyes in order to establish a link, so anyone wearing sunglasses or masks can safely avoid his powers. But there is more to his powers than that I wanted to try.

His quirk is called “Network”, which allows him to establish a sort of telepathic communication network with anyone who is willing to establish a connection with him. This requires him to stare into someone’s eyes for at least ten minutes, and he can only communicate with them if they want to and if they’re awake. But aside from that he can communicate with them via mind reading anywhere at any time. Others within the Network can also communicate with each other.

His powers don’t really have any obvious combat application, but they can provide a very crucial support function by allowing the heroes to always be able to communicate with each other as long as they’re conscious. However my character needs to reestablish the network every few days. If he doesn’t people will start having difficulty communicating with each other over the network and eventually simply lose connection.

Hey, is this still open? It still says Apply up-top, and Ryonara is thinking of applying on this very page, but as of 30 days ago the roster was closed, so I'm unsure if I should apply.


EDIT: On second thought, I failed to read. I'm interested in applying.

@Ryonara Hey - I am not saying Yes but I am not saying No to this idea of yours. I feel like it can be adapted, but it's not quite MHA-approvable yet. I'd like to see it integrated in a character to really see what it could look like. I have only a few points that come to mind :

1. The eye contact thing, you might want to change it to either touching or something more unique but ultimately it's your choice and eye contact would be fine.

2. I don't like the 10 minutes thing, because you'll probably never do it in combat, and it's too...simple. Too video game - gimmeckey, like a cooldown.

3. I do not like that this telepathic network is apparently created and remains forever. I'd prefer if you actively had to create it each time and if there was some thing you had to do to help maintain it. If only because combats are going to be boring if there's nothing for you to do but remain motionless and be an antenna. Also, you need to come up with a way others can counter it. Say, knock you down. Though I guess this is a given.

4. I do not like that others can communicate with one another without going through him.

All in all, it's too perfect for what it does. It suffers from the same problems others did.
When you think of a Quirk in MHA, do not imagine what powers you want to play with or what would be cool. Quirks are, in the end, very simple modifications that can be good depending on how people uses them. So think up something simple, and creates amazing ways to use them.

@Genon Great ! You just have to work on a character and show it to me here and for it to be approved to join. :)

Alright. Like Ryonara, I wanted to run my Quirk by you.

The Quirk is called Sound of Silence. Basically, the user's ears can absorb sound in the environment within a "bubble" of silence around them. Any sound that enters is absorbed and stored in the user's body for later use, and the bubble is obviously useful for stealth purposes, as well as shutting down opposing sound-based Quirks.

The original variant of the Quirk (from the character I'm thinking of recycling) had them able to release the stored-up sound in a cacophonous, incredibly-loud scream, but for a hero that sounds rather indiscriminate and destructive so I'm thinking of changing that to something else, like using the sound as fuel for a physical enhancement of some type. I still have to work out exactly what else the quirk could be used for and what variant I'll be going with. I'm open for ideas, since I don't want to make it broken or anything.

Understandable, I just felt plain mind reading is kinda of bland, but I can't really improve it without making it much more powerful. I'm still debating if I even want it so I'll keep thinking of another quirk.

I actually thought of another quirk. I call it Reinforcement, and it hardens objects he touches. Thus he can do things like make his clothes harder and turn them into a sort of quasi armor, or reinforce wooden sticks so they're as hard as steel. He can only use it on objects though not people, and reinforcing objects also makes them stiff. It's a double-edge sword since if he uses this on his own clothing it can get uncomfortable quickly since his shirt becomes ridged and inflexible, but at the same time if he hardens his enemy's clothing he can make it harder for them to move too, since their clothes will become stiff and restrict movement.

As long as he's touching an object he can keep it reinforced, but anything that leaves his touch will lose it's reinforcement after a minute. Additionally after the reinforcement wears off all of the damage the object accumulated will come back and damage it again, possibly causing serious damage. There's also an upper limit to how much damage the reinforced objects can take, and if too much damage is done the reinforcement breaks.

Sheesh. That post really got away from me. I know, excuses, excuses.

Cutting to the chase, I think it's about time I take my leave. But of course I wanted to make an plot-friendly explanation for it. Sorry for the inconvenience guys. I just don't see myself keeping up as I'd like to, I have other RPs that need my attention and my spot ought to go for someone more capable.

I don't at all expect responses to my post, so it's fine if everyone wants to devote their attentions elsewhere. I just thought it'd be a nice way to sign off.

I'm happy I kept up for as long as I have. But the sooner I get a move on, the sooner the enduring players can work together for the long haul.

Thank you very much @SimpleWriter for accepting me, and congrats to @LuckyBlackCat on making Co-GM. Good luck. XP

I kid. If I come across players half as devoted as you guys are, that's when I know I've done something right. I'll be seeing myself out over the next day or so. Thanks for having me guys. See you around. :)

@Indra I think SimpleWriter wants to keep this as separate from canon as possible, so maybe not someone from the Todoroki family, but there can definitely be elite families out there. It's up to him though, and I like the sound of a fire based hero, as we have a villain with a fire Quirk.

@Ryonara I like it for the most part, simple yet versatile ability as is the nature of Quirks. The only issue I can see is there should be some kind of drawback for overuse, especially if he does this indefinitely to something he's holding. Maybe fatigue or something?

@Mangrale Aw, I say you're definitely capable, but if you'd rather focus on just a few RPs that's completely understandable. That was a good way to explain Sofia's departure plot-wise, and done in this really effective, bittersweet way too. Best of luck with other RPs!
