That sphere is a blue giant, a star. This star generates cosmic radiation as a normal star would, which would normally be dreadfully harmful to people, but Yozoru’s body relies on it. As a result of this, she is generally a rather energetic and lively girl to be around. On top of that, her body is naturally a bit warmer than most, hovering around 100 Fahrenheit. The star will never truly “go out,” but there are ways of purging its energy to weaken her, such as the hero technique she invented called Cosmic Apotheosis. Because this star is a part of her body, Yorozu can redirect the cosmic energy coming off of it however she feels is necessary. This principle allows her to fire projectiles of cosmic starlight, or even power purpose built devices, which she does in the form of her hero gear that she describes as the “Engine of Creation.” It’s a fusion-powered harness coupled with medium-grade weight armor at the shoulders and knees, as well as some heavy boots and a helmet and back side thrusters that are manually powered up. Yozoru relies on her quirk for a large portion of combat, more than anything. Hero Techniques in Order of Power Shooting Star The simplest and most basic of her techniques. Yozoru curls a ball of starlight into one hand, compressing it down to the size of a baseball. Ironically, condensing cosmic radiation isn’t very strongly advised, since throwing this ball of light as something results in a rather well-burnt hole, preceded by an explosion. Hydrogen Slam Best described as a mile long drop kick, Yozoru kicks her Astro-thrusters into overdrive and inverts her body such that her legs go forward. By channeling starlight into the soles of her boots, successfully landing this attack sends anything not nailed down into the next zip code before they can even blink. This was inspired by a dead hero’s technique known as an Almighty Landslide, but we don’t talk about that here… Polaris Ward Similar to the Shooting Star technique, Yozoru spins starlight into a spiraling disc large enough to encompass her body, or anyone behind her, for the purpose of shield. The size of the shield determines how much starlight is concentrated. A larger shield requires more to do its job properly, which is to destroy projectiles first, and deflect them secondly. Yozoru’s preferred method of using this is as a counterattack, swinging a Polaris Ward towards an oncoming attack, and bringing her hand around to transform it into a Shooting Star in the same motion. Cosmic Apotheosis The fusion reactor in Yozoru’s suit goes into overdrive. She overloads its systems with energy equal to 120% more than what it’s made for. Doing this results in the Engine of Creation becoming an extension of Yozoru’s star, and therefore, her own body as well. Starlight roils off of her body like heat off the sun, and a piece of the suit opens up like the door to a vault. This door is a window to her star, and opens like the barrel of a cannon. Yozoru releases all of the star’s energy she can get away with at once, resulting in an ultra-long range, self sacrificial beam of stellar devastation. This is a last resort, and is only even considered in the presence of extremely low chances of success, or survival. Ascension Paige Characterization The righteous and headstrong Yozoru Hoshi of 2B’s second year class is always at the center of the heroic scene. She is a noble and loyal friend in daily life, having an outgoing and take-action attitude about things, but once the Engine of Creation is on, her intensity gets kicked up to 12, and the best foot comes first. Yozoru isn’t afraid to get hurt or into serious trouble, she does what she thinks is right and goes down with transparency when it fails. It doesn’t matter what modern heroics call for: flashy ads, trendy heroes, who cares? Yozoru just wants to send the bad guys reeling and bring as much peace as her determined self is capable of, in her own words, “It’s just the right thing to do. That’s all there is to it.” Legend From a young age, Yozoru struggled with her quirk, imagine sapphire-blue solar flares bursting from a child too young to read. Her quirk proved to be a very dangerous one that she needed to learn to control whether she wanted the role of a hero or not. Into middle school she worked herself to the bone to tame the violent, lawless star in her body. When it came time to move on to the next stage of her life, she knew she was leaps and bounds ahead of most as a result of her circumstances. Now, she is in her second year at Eirei Hero Academy, going strong.

This substance works similar to thermal energy or atomic energy, it can linger, be picked up or just otherwise transferred from one place to another. This substance which Nikushimi simply calls atromire, penetrates carbon based matter and breaks off protein chains. In short, it induces atrophy. Nikushimi can use this to either kill someone or render them very weak, a side effect of it is also a feeling of fatigue and weakness in your body on top of not being able to use your muscles as strongly. The unfortunate fact is that this is only reversible through exercise. There are a number of ways to apply this, Nikushimi’s favorite way is to channel atromire into a gun she uses for hero work to bury decaying bullets into a distant target. Doing this concentrates the atrophying energy into a smaller area, causing weakness to ensue a lot faster. The downside to this quirk is that it has the potential to genuinely kill someone. Imagine your heart suffering from Atrophy, or your brain. As a result of this, most of Nikushimi training in school came from learning how to properly weaken a target before hunting them down. While hero work in this society allows for heroes to kill their targets, it’s sometimes best to let them suffer for their crimes instead of giving them an easy way out. That’s Niku’s line of thinking. Ascension Paragon - Number 4 Characterization Vindictive. Jagged. Intense. Intimidating. That’s what most people would describe this pro hero as. The hero called Snake-Eyes has a reputation for being one of the cruelest, albeit most efficient heroes in Japan. The only reason her number isn’t higher is because she is brutal when taking out villains, anyone who respects her will tell you she may not sugar coat her work, but she gets results with zero error. Niku isn’t the most approachable hero by far, preferring to work alone, or in minor gatherings and rarely ever accepts interns in comparison to most heroes. Once you get to know her though, it’s clear she only had this sharp exterior because she takes the professional side of being a hero very seriously. Out on her job, people who witness her take down villains often regard her as being somewhat cruel in her captures, especially when she pulls out a gun and fires a pale-green bullet at a fleeing enemy. Regardless, she can actually be quite enjoyable to be around, when she’s not doing her job to protect the people of Japan. Outside of hero work, Niku is quite content with indulging herself, drinking some rare alcohol, flirting with the other women in the pro hero scene, namely the dashing Penrose...and diving into news for gossip, to name a few. Generally, she’s a very confident and assertive woman, and always treats herself and those who deserve it like a queen. At the very least, she’s just downright intimidating to people who just met her. Towards fans, her gruff exterior turns into a warm, shark-toothed smile that says “I could snap you in half, but you’re cute. I like you.” A total girlboss, as one might describe her. Nikushimi can either be your most lovely acquaintance, or your worst nightmare. Legend Always preferring a more self-confident and bare-bones approach to hero work, Nikushimi was accepted into Eirei on a recommendation from her middle school, but always had a thorny side to her. It was easy to pin her as just a “hero bitch” until you got to know her. Early into her hero studies at Eirei she pushed for support weapons to channel her quirk, spawning the iconic “Jade Death” she uses to remove villains from society with. Training in a school environment with a live, custom made firearm was unsettling for a lot of classmates, but her teachers learned to appreciate her no-nonsense attitude during scenario training where she viciously disabled training robots limb-by-limb. To quote her former teacher, “Nikushimi is often viewed as being unpleasant, she’s only unpleasant when you’re at the end of that weapon she wields.” [/hider] [hider=Evergaze] [img] https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/842593220734746665/845691665850564638/image0.jpg[/img] Real Name REDACTED Aliases Evergaze Kensaku Subete Quirk All-Seeing - Accumulation Kensaku’s quirk allows his five senses to perceive everything around him in an unnaturally large distance with near impossible accuracy. He can detect the slightest movement and determine exactly where it happened up to a kilometer away. This applies to all of his senses, sight, hearing, touch, and so on. As long as Kensaku is conscious, nothing will ever get past him. This is very simple, but absolutely invaluable to anyone who needs discretion to act, such as the League of Villains, making him crucial to many operations at the center of the villain world. The only real way to counter Kensaku’s quirk is to find him and damage his senses - such as gouging his eyes out - but you’ll never get the drip on him unless he’s unconscious, and he is never found asleep. While Kensaku’s quirk is great to have, it requires each of his senses to be in a usable circumstance; he can technically see everything perfectly up to a kilometer away, but only if there is enough distance. Kensaku can hear footsteps through several hundred walls, but he cannot see through them. This has resulted in him developing a method of “remembering” who he is detecting. No one without the All-Seeing quirk would notice this, but to Kensaku, everything has a particular, distinct atmosphere around them that makes them stand out among each other. Everyone’s footsteps make a different sound, their heartbeat a different vibration. This means that even if Kensaku cannot lay eyes upon somebody, it is still very possible to pick them out among vast crowds, making him even nastier to be up against in situations. Characterization Member of the Inner Five, right hand man of the Godfather himself, Mr. Ryukazuki, and the man who you find to get things done. Kensaku is loyal to the only soul superior to him first, and the laws of the world second. He is the archetype of the smooth, cool, charming and attractive eye candy who you can never truly understand. Putting his quirk aside, he is always reading everyone he comes across, if for nothing more than his own amusement. Kensaku never fails to please his master, taking on the operations that require the coldest heart and the cleanest executions, literally and figuratively. He appears on the surface to be little more than a pandering villain without any goals, but the League is all he’s ever known. Kensaku is the one who Ryukazuki can trust with anything and find peace in knowing he will never be crossed. The League’s darkest secrets, the most dreadful tasks, it’s all the same to the man who sees everything, and his skill set makes him invaluable, as an informant, an executioner, a representative, or otherwise. He is right beside the center of it all, and that is all he needs in life. Legend REDACTED [/hider]
