Hey I'd like to join this RP. Got a sweet villain and everything. [hider='Midnight'] Name: Artorius Black Nicknames: Slick, Tar bomb, Flare Villain Name: Midnight Age: 57 Gender: None Appearance: [hider=Physical body] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/4b/f1/a7/4bf1a78b4ae3f51e5c67301447b6c1a3.jpg[/img] Artorius is not a being of flesh and blood. His body is a physical manifestation of "Cosmic energy' as he puts it that acts as both is form and the battery for his quirk. The body itself is susceptible to physical attacks and will grow smaller gradually as he takes damage. [/hider] [hider=Costume] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/bf/a6/fc/bfa6fc14226d7ffd7751ef45b5e78511.jpg[/img] His natural body is incredibly weak so his costume was designed to harness the destructive force of his bodies naturally manifesting energy, the suit itself giving him an exoskeleton to take damage for him. Often abandons it if at risk of being overwh elmed. [/hider] [hr] Weapons: none Hero(Villain) Equipment: Suit contains 'vents' to release his quirk in an omni-directional blast if the need ever arises. Both wrists have a similar design allowing for blasts from his hands with greater efficiency. -- [u][b]Combat[/b][/u] Strength: Demolition, multiple targets, strong area effectiveness Endurance: Average. Can stand his own if the enemy is kept at optimum range, any closer than 5 feet and its his disadvantage. Willpower: Single minded focus on fight or flight of the situation calls for it. Speed: Average. Has advantage of flight but only for a short time. Relies on outmaneuvering enemies with debree. Reaction Speed: Extremely high / borderline instantaneous. [hr] [u][b]Quirk[/b][/u] Name of Quirk: Power Cosmic Ability of Quirk: Artorius' body is made of pure swirling purple energy dotted with other shifting colors, some describing it as seeing the universe itself shaped like a person. Qualities of Quirk: Power cosmic has removed a substantial part of Artorius' human emotions such as joy and love, even hate. This does not make him entirely unemotional just that he is in far greater control of emotions and thus not easily controlled by impulsive actions. While he is made of vibrant energy it can shift from multiple colors to outright black, sometimes reacting on his mood on the rare times when emotion is too much to control. Strengths of Quirk: Inexhaustible by traditional standards, needing neither food nor sleep for days at a time. Eating and proper rest do provide quicker recharge of his stored energy. Artorius can compress his weightless energy into a thick tar like substance that when detonated creates a far stronger burst of power. Outside of his suit his body is capable of flight / gliding. Cannot exceed more than 30 feet from the ground. Weaknesses of Quirk: Finite energy source; once depleted, Artorius will simply fade out of existence. This has never come close to happening but Artorius is positive that without preserving a piece of himself he will absolutely fade away should he expend his energy completely. Limited blast radius, the size of an explosion dependent on how much of his body is put into an explosion. 1% being a slight pop, 100% is theorized to be strong enough to destroy a city block. At half his volume, it only has enough to power to destroy a single building. Despite being weightless and 'formless' his cosmic body is still effected by things like bullets, knives, bats, anything that comes in contact with him depletes a portion of his finite form. Limits of Quirk: hip-fire blasts of unfocused energy cannot exceed a certain threshold of power at any given time. Creating concentrated tar is not a quick or efficient process, requiring time to concentrate and spread. Large quantities of the tar are often unstable, lasting only a few days before 'expiring' and thus cannot be stockpiled. Tar transformation is taxing on the bodies finite energy supply and so must be used wisely. Every expended piece of his energy supply depletes a portion of his body, making him shrink further and further. In order to not reveal this weakness, as he expends energy he spreads his energy out further and further to give the illusion of remaining strength. ---- Biography: Artorius is different. That is all it ever came down to. Different in thought, different in feeling, different in the why of his actions. Life is not a fragile piece of glass to be protected it is a miserable pile of ants swarming each other in an endless cycle, never killing but merely wounding itself to the point where growth cannot occur. The needless crippling of itself is the downfall of the hero world and Artorius aims to reveal that blunder, showing heroes how pitiful they are for the pleasure of it. Like a sport. Power cosmic has made him a target for years. Uncontrolled and often volatile, his body has triggered catastrophic accidents since childhood. Accidents that Artorius, now long since becoming a man, has realized were likely subconsciously intentional. Sympathy and pity are foreign concepts to him and thus triggered a need to prove he could destroy at whim. Protect himself. Whatever it took to stop others from looking down their noses at his bizarre form. Not born in Japan, Midnight was contactedby a representative of a foreign villains society looking for members. Hesitant, but cautious, Midnight accepted the invitation and made the move to Japan through a series of smugglers. As a reasonably well known villain it was hard for him to hide his appearance but luck saw him through to a new home. Having only been with the organization for a few months he still struggles with the language and finding worthy associates within the group itself. Thus far he can admit that his personal feeling of being different is not as much of an issue now as it was overseas. With a larger number of heroes, Midnight has admitted he feels welcomed. Operating with the organization as a distraction or decoy against the big named heroes, Midnights potential for mass destruction continues to make him an important target when a situation gets sticky. Capable of operating at a distance and slippery to catch it seems like an ideal place for the use of his Power Cosmic. Personality: Understanding the mindset of a faceless being comprised of explosive potential is a lot like unravelling a difficult puzzlebox. It requires time and patience. Midnight is a difficult person to be aroubf because it truly appears as if their motives revolve around aimless destruction and the disregard for life associated with a villains lifestyle. To some degree this is true but truer still is the complex thought process he posesses. Allies in a place of trust are treated like gods, incapable of wrong. His dependency on them when at a low power state is essential to survival and thus keeping those he can trust in proper form is paramount to self preservation. Thise not in his good books will always be expendable. As a being capable of destruction he takes great pride in his situational awareness, always attempting to cause the most beneficial destruction with the leaat amount of effort while taking into account for friendly positioning. When otherwise not engaged with combat or heist preparation he is often quite social, if a tad unfriendly. [hr] Other: Theme song coming soon! [/hider]
