🅲🆁🅰🆂🅷 🅲🅾🆄🆁🆂🅴!

It all began somewhere in China. News of a newborn that gave off a luminescent glow had spread. Ever since then, strange abilities were discovered in various places all across the globe. Time eventually passed without the cause being identified.

The world had become a superhuman society, and about majority of its population possessed some kind of special trait. In such a world swirling with chaos, the profession that everyone once dreamed about and admired, came into the limelight. An age of heroism is upon you, and whether you like it or not, you're going to be part of it.

You might be wondering why you're being forced into all of this, right? Well, its all thanks to Tumble, the rookie sensation who's been plowing her way through the rankings within the superhero community.



Welcome to the world of Crash Course! A My Hero Academia RP set several decades from the original series. You may have noticed, but things are a little different here. We've heard stories of prestigious institutions that have made way for the best and the brightest to prosper and shine. That good and all, but what about everyone else? The less privileged, unfortunate, and outcasts? Normally, your guess would be as good as mine, but not this time.

You will be taking the role of an outsider of some sort. Someone who, for one reason or another, never met the standards society had set form them. In the end, you made the wrong choices and were led down the wrong path. Luckily for you, you've been given the opportunity to take few steps back and give things another shot.

Tumble, has invited/forced you, along with several others, to join her at her agency. Although not talked about by most, Tumble's past was far from being ideal. It took the efforts of a single person to make her what she is today. Think of this as her way of giving back to the community.

During the your time under her guidance, not only will your quirks develop, but also your virtues as a person and a member of society. Hopefully, you'll survive and make it through this crash course into the world of heroics.

_{By choosing to make a character, we will assume that you've read and accepted all the rules below.}

Character Creation

🅲🅷🅰🆁🅰🅲🆃🅴🆁 🅲🆁🅴🅰🆃🅸🅾🅽

In terms of characters, I'll be keeping an open-mind as long as it fits the setting of the world we're going with

• Given that this RP will be based on My Hero Academia, I hope that we can replicate the tone they set for the series. Light-hearted coupled with the occasional sense of realism.
• Potentially, there's are a large amount of powers/quirks you can choose from, as long as they're within reason. Just remember that Quirks are inherited genetically and typically manifest in children by the age of four, at the latest. They're basically an extension of one's bodily functions, so make sure to not go overboard. You can read more about them here.
• Currently, quirks that I suggest you stay away from would include anything that delves into the concepts of character control, time manipulation, reality bending/warping, and absolute energy manipulation.
• An image for your character is a requirement. It helps both myself and your fellow participants when coming up with posts involving your character. The image that you use for your appearance can either be anime or in a more cartoonish style; no real-life or realistic images. Here are some examples: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6].
• In a nutshell, just make a character that fits, and you're golden.

OOC

🆃🅷🅴 🅾🅾🅲

• As sappy as it sounds, what'll fortify and make this RP a success is gonna be cooperation from everyone who'll participate in it. I'm pretty sure that you all know that the only way this is going to work is through collaboration and having some sort of mutual respect towards each other. Any disputes between players should be taken to PMs. Hopefully, we don't see any form antagonistic behavior towards other players in the OOC. As long as we all keep our cool, then we're all good.
• You can PM me your characters if you want them to be reviewed without the judging gaze of the other players, but they'll only be formally accept character sheets when they're posted in the OOC to give others a chance to give their input about them.
• You can also PM me any questions you have, ask them in the OOC, or join me on Discord. Just PM me for an invite to the RP's server.
• Also, Feel free to engage in general chatter in the OOC. It helps to establish that sense of community.
• Don't reserve any posts in the OOC or Character Tab for a WIP character.
• Lastly, make sure you keep us updated when it comes to activity. If you're leaving for more than a few days or going to be inactive, it would be nice if you notified us. Just so the RP doesn't stagnate.

IC

🆃🅷🅴 🅸🅲

• It goes without saying, but to be sure, remember to avoid any god-modding, metag-aming, power-gaming, et cetera.
• In regards to post length, just remember that quality is valued more than quantity. No need to write a lot, just make sure that what you write should advance the plot and not stagnate the RP. This is a Casual RP, so one-liners don't really have a place here at all.
• For post frequency, one post per week in enough. If you haven't posted in a week, and given no prior explanation as to why, your character will probably be turned into an NPC to be used by the GMs or players freely.
• Posting more frequently isn't frowned upon; just make sure to wait and only post after at least one or two other players have posted. This is just to give room for slower posters to catch up. For extended interactions, head over to PMs or the Discord Server and consider making a collaborative post.
• Not expecting it, but regarding romance in this RP, just keep it PG.
• If you have any story ideas, plot ideas or NPC ideas, feel free to tell me or discuss it in the OOC. This RP should be a collaborative effort and your contributions to the overall plot are much appreciated.

History

🅸🅽 🆃🅷🅴 🅱🅴🅶🅸🅽🅽🅸🅽🅶

Superpowers were first discovered in China over a hundred years ago. They rapidly sprouted all across the world from then on, but no one could say why or how these superpowers came about. There were records dating back nearly two centuries of people with superpowers though which could mean they existed for far longer.

The regular person feared those with these strange abilities. For much of the first few decades, quirk-users received brutal discrimination and punishment. Many were forced into camps and prisons and some were stolen away for experimenting. But as the numbers increased and they became more knowledgeable of their own abilities, they banded together and rose against authoritative figures.

As history shows, with time and persistence, compassion begins to grow. Those with quirks collaborated with the quirkless, working side by side to protect civilization and prove that they weren't all power-hungry monsters. There are a handful of people that have made a stand for the rights of quirk-users and influenced the world to follow in their ideals, opening the door to a brighter future for both quirk-users and the quirkless.

Inui Takumi, a world-renown hero known by the name of Rider, settled down in Japan and established a school for heroes. The school was named Yuei Academy and situated within the city of Musutafa. It quickly became the number one school for heroics and birthed many successful heroes, including the symbol of peace and justice, All Might.

Originating from the countryside of Japan, a young man that went by the name of Izuku Midoriya was sought out by Rider himself. He heard news of a young boy and his uncontrollable power. With enough convincing, Rider brought Toshinori back to Musutafa, and there, he raised and trained him to use his power. Even before he obtained this power, Toshinori had always admired the heroes of today, dearly wishing that one day, a poor farm boy like him could help people and serve justice. Rider had given him that opportunity when no one else had, and after graduating, Toshinori claimed the name of All Might.

He was unmatched in skill and heart. All Might became the hero of Musutafa and Japan. Words of his heroic deeds spread through the media across the world and as long as All Might remained, the world had nothing to hear.

🆃🅴🅽 🆈🅴🅰🆁🆂 🅰🅶🅾

The vile name Shigaraki struck fear into the people of Japan. Two years ahead of All Might's time, he graduated from the same great school with exceptional grades, but Shigaraki was a mystery to even the principal. Like All Might, Rider specially invited him to Japan on a full ride for his exceptional skill, rescuing him from a similar lifestyle as All Might. But Shigaraki lived quietly and minded his own things. He graduated and applied for a hero license, but his name never showed up in the hero registry.

Shortly after All Might's revealing to the public, Shigaraki took to the streets, slowly building a reputation in the underground world. While All Might contained the peace and raised the flag of justice, the man known as Shigaraki pulled at strings behind the scenes, gradually creating a society of villains that could rival the triads. And once he had enough power, Shigaraki paraded the streets. Just as All Might had skyrocketed through the ranks of heroes, Shigaraki stole the number one place in most wanted criminals of Japan through numerous acts of villainy.

All Might and Shigaraki faced each other time and time again. And then, on April 22, 2010, All Might died in battle at the hands of Shigaraki. The battle brought great destruction upon Japan, and while the public wept over the death of their beloved icon, criminals and villains cheered for Shigaraki's amazing actions. His body was found in a crater out in Japan's downtown area, heart impaled by a street lamp. After Nobleman's death, criminal activity had increased, and heroes these days just weren't what they used to be.

Shigaraki disappeared the night of that great battle, but his supporters still live, awaiting the day he'll lead them all into the new generation.

[Pacifista]

A couple general questions:

Eastern or Western name order? Assuming things will be taking place in Japan like the series.

I was going to ask about ages/classes (since different ages would mean our characters would be separated), but the agency might not even be school based. What would being indoctrinated into Tumble's agency mean for the daily lives of our characters? Does it replace school (as, say, a correctional facility might) or take part alongside it?

[Jabber]

@Pacifista First up to the plate, huh?

Your assumptions are right, the RP will be taking place in Japan and in the same city as the series. I think it was a fictional city called Musutafa or something. Regarding your question, either is fine with me; it would be cool though if your character could speak japanese. If you wanted to do some "lost in translation" thing, I'm up for it. Potentially challenging and comedic at the same time.

Ages wouldn't be an issue and expect to see more of groups instead of actual classes. The agency is still an organization that caters to hero-related business. Just think of it as an educational institution that promotes on the field learning. The best way to briefly describe is that its basically an internship of some sort.

Lectures/lessons will be integrated in from time to time, but most often, we'll be focusing on activities that address the characteristics that makes one into a hero. Not sure if I gave a good enough answer, so if there's still some vagueness that you want me to clear up, gI'm all ears.

[Pacifista]

I'll go with Western order for simplicity then.

As for the agency, I have more than enough information for now, much appreciated!

[McFazzer]

This might be an odd question, but how... 'criminal' would a character have to be to get picked up by Tumble?

[Jabber]

@McFazzerHonestly, I kinda expected someone to eventually ask this.

Well, you don't really need to be a criminal. That's just an option; just someone who needed help but couldn't get any due to the circumstances they were in. Choices would probably range from loner, problem child, outsider to something more drastic as an actual criminal; nothing too intense or dark though. You could be a totally normal kid who just likes the idea of what Tumble is doing and wanted to join in.

[Ghost Queen]

@Jabber
I'm game, my knowledge of My Hero Academia is pretty cursory but that's nothing a bit of wiki digging won't fix. I'm interested if you have room.

[Jabber]

@Ghost Queen Definitely still open for more participants!

That's cool; wiki can go a long way. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Aside from me, anyone who's familiar with the series would be willing to help out.

@Jabber Fixed

Jake "Satan" Vanguard

[APPEARANCE]

[NAME]
Jake "Satan" Vanguard

[GENDER]
Male

[AGE]
16

[PERSONALITY]
Misunderstood as he is he tries to make friends but of course he's not exactly your good boy type. In most cases he's very random and crazy meaning he could go from having a full on deep conversation to admiring a cool looking rock on the ground. He gets distracted easily and his strange way of viewing things normally pushes people away. He's the type of teen that would stare death straight in the face while seriously asking if he liked cookies or brownies better. Yeah, he's not all there in the head but while common sense is low his street smarts somewhat make up for it with his sarcastic remarks. Needless to say he's wise not intelligent meaning he learns from experience not being taught by someone else or from a book. He won't learn not to stick his hand in a blender simply if you told him, he will learn when he has to make do without a couple fingers for a few weeks.

[BACKSTORY]
It started with a man named Roye "Pillar" Vanguard with a quirk of Stamina; meaning he hardly ever got fatigued no matter how strenuous the work (or play) was. And a young woman named Christine "Rainbow" Narson, with a quirk of "Color Change"; meaning she could simply change the color of her eyes, hair, skin and other parts of her body. Two partners in crime living the life of the street, gangs, guns, and fights.

They of course had a son, the outcome of adrenaline and alcohol, to which they named Jake. Now when they were.....wrestling, Christine had changed her hair and eyes to match that of a demon-like creature for.....role play purposes. The outcome was a demonic looking child with a quirk of "Regeneration"; meaning he could heal faster then the average human being. The boy did not possess however the quirk to change his body colors back to normal. Roye and Christine raised the boy to be a fighter so in turn fighting was almost all he knew. He knew the basics like math and how to speak and read, but he hardly ever had to do so. Most of his life was fighting, eating, and being tortured by his "Parents" for he still felt pain and they wanted a senseless fighter with no emotions. There outcome however was a fighter with a twisted mind and even more twisted sense of humor as he began to enjoy the pain they inflicted upon him.

One day during a street fight at the age of 15, over the cheers of the small crowd and threw the blood in his eyes and an ear to ear smile across his face as Jake was still beating his opponents unconscious face in, sirens and lights echoed and bounced off the abandoned warehouses walls. The small crowd including Jake's parents, more like owners as they treated him like an animal, scattered like cockroaches. In turn, Jake ran as well when a thought popped in his mind. He could leave now and not be bound by the people who contained him, he could fight on his own terms and not when he was told and make money for himself instead of being paid in scraps and a blanket on the floor, and he could let his insanity roam free. So he ran without really knowing where he was going and after about a year of living homeless not really staying anywhere for too long, resting in abandoned buildings and other "out of sight out of mind" places, he was off to his next fight.

He normally looked for any good paying fight he could get his hands on but with the growing population of wannabe heroes popping up the fights started becoming harder to find. He was running low on money and he heard word about a new organization in town running fights in an underground arena, so he hooked up with a shady man by the name Kenington and got a fight set up. The day of the fight he arrived at the destination of the said underground arena and all he saw was an empty alley way. As he continued down the alley way police cars swiftly blocked both ends and four men came from above and took him to the ground strapping him in a suit close to the style of a straight jacket, threw him in a police car, and took him to the station. When he arrived at the station they moved him to an isolation room to which he was accompanied by two people. One was the chief of the police force and another was a strange looking person by the name of Tumble.

[QUIRK]
Regeneration - Jake can heal much faster then an average human being. When wounds would take days to heal for a normal person it would only take him minutes depending on the injury. If its a small cut or scrape, it won't take more then a minute or so where as a broken bone will take a day or two to fully heal. The draw back however is that he can't regenerate from death and the the weaker he is - tired, hungry, or seriously wounded - the longer it takes for him to regenerate and its kinda a given but he does age. Regeneration doesn't stop him in his prime. He also uses up energy fast so he's almost always eating because if he doesn't, he drops like a rock and his wounds won't heal for if you don't have the proteins or minerals for your body to function, his regenerative abilities won't either.

[SKILLS]
Hand to Hand Combat - He's not trained in any particular style of fighting or weaponry, however, he is exceptional in close quarters combat and excels with his fists.

[SAMPLE POST]
The police chief stated "I could take you to jail for the various assaults, attempts of murder, and violation of government property specifically peeing on the outside wall of the police station and painting a male sex organ on the hood of a police car.", to which Jake replied "Hey that was art.", "but I've got a better idea." the chief continued "This person here is gonna take you somewhere real nice. It's a little place where there gonna clean up your act and teach you to be a model citizen." both the Tumble person and police chief smiled as he finished."Now you gotta be joking, there ain't no way there gonna turn me into a goody two shoes you must be smoking something. By the way either of you got a light I could use a cigarette" "Oh I'm not when there done with you your gonna be the little angel of our town so pack your bags buttercup it's a long trip". To which Jake replied "The only angel here is you chief, why don't you just go su......" The insult was quickly silenced with the butt of a rifle to the side of Jake's head and off he went to his new home with a strange looking woman named Tumble.

[Jabber]

@KRAZY J Yup, totes accepting. Just drifting through some applications.

[Leotamer]

My character.

Hider

_{This is a picture of what he would look with his quirk, as illustrated by person who has the quirk to draw what people would look like if they was quirkless. He has dog-like ears and a tail, which are covered by the same blonde hair as his head, except the tips are a dark black color. His right eye is blue, where his left eye is golden. He typically wears a hoodie with the hood down, and blue jeans with sneakers, even for formal events when he can get away with it. The only time he will pull the hood up is when he is trying to not be recognized. He does not actually have any piercings.}

[NAME]

Jason "Fenrir" Williams

[GENDER]

Male

[AGE]

17

[PERSONALITY]

Fenrir usually has an air of uneasy calmness, usually be sarcastic and abrasive but not necessarily anti-social. He is quick to anger, but hard to goad into a fight unless someone else attacks him first, at which point it is hard to separate him from whoever he is fighting.

Despite clearly having the features of a common dog, Fenrir insists that he has the features of a wolf. However, whenever referred to as a dog, his reaction is typically more annoyed than angered. When someone tries to insult him by calling him a dog, or something to the effect, he usually retorts in a smug manner.

He has very little care for social etiquette, wearing informal clothing to formal events, eating very messily, sometimes tearing into raw meat in public places.

[BACKSTORY]

Fenrir was born in the US. His mother disappeared shortly after giving birth to him. After his months disappearance, him and his father moved to Japan. His father tried to be a good father, but was often busy at work and was always emotionally distant.

At the young age of 15, he ran away and joined a small street gang and gained a new father figure in the form of the gang leader, who was in his late fourties. Two months ago, the leader who goes by the name Loki, was accused of super villiany. In order to avoid having the gang being dragged down with him, he turned himself in.

One month ago, Fenrir left the gang out of both frustration that no one else even tried to help their former leader, and that he hated the person who took over the gang, believing him to be a "Slimy, cowardly, greedy rattlesnake."

He has recently joined Tumble willingly, believing that he if could become a hero, he can save the only person who ever mattered to him.

[QUIRK]

Canine Aspects - Fenrir possesses the ears and tail of a german shepherd. In addition, his tongue appears slightly longer and flatter than normal, and his nose has a bit of a dark hue and is slightly wet to the touch. The palms of his hands and feet are more apparently black and slightly thicker and has a leathery texture. In addition, his fingernails form claws.

Due to quirk, he has enhanced smell, taste, and hearing. He is slightly faster and stronger than the average quirkless human, but this enhanced speed and strength is within normal ranges.

His quirk has several weaknesses; he is more easily overwhelmed by strong odors or sounds, and will react in a similar fashion to a dog if he hears a dog-whistle. In addition, he seems easily distracted. It is unknown if this is caused by his quirk, or if this has another cause.

Other canines seem to inherently friendly or at least neutral to him, including non-domesticated canines.

[SKILLS]

Fenrir is not good at many things, however his time as a gang member did teach him some important life lessons. He is multilingual, knowing three different languages; English, Japanese, and Spanish. And knows how to pick locks. He also knows Morse Code.

[SAMPLE POST]

Fenrir stormed up to this agency place he heard about, his footsteps loud against the concrete. He took his hand and made a fist, slamming against the side of door to make a hardy knock. He drew back his fist again, and beat against the door.

He put his face against the door of the building. "I know you can hear me. Let me in. I hear you are taking in us street trash and trying to make us heroes or something. I want in." He waited only a few seconds before drawing his hand back again and knock on it once more.

"What, am I am not good enough for this stupid little club or yours. You would be lucky to include this wolf on your team." Once again, he waited about two seconds before once again slamming his hand against the door.

"Are you only taking in the ones you think you can fix? Like the rest of us are broken beyond repair or something." He waited only a few seconds longer, before banging on the door twice.

"I need this. For a frie.. For my father." he said, and before he could knock again, the door opened revealing Tumble. "Huh, didn't think you was a girl. Oh well, were do I sign up?"

[Pacifista]

Shouichi

[NAME]

Shouichi Sakihata

[GENDER]

Male

[AGE]

15

[PERSONALITY]

Shou doesn't like to speak. Not because he has nothing to say: on the contrary, he could go for hours if it was on a favorite topic of his. But rather, because he doesn't, he's something of a stuttering mess when he does speak, even as derision is more likely to stay his tongue than shyness. His mind is a place of bitterness, where he guesses and second guesses his place and those around him, paranoia often guiding his actions and words.

[BACKSTORY]

Hot blooded cries for victory, metal fists bashing against each other, fires of passion burning red: Shou didn't have a clue what was going on, but the pure spirit and heart captured in the last episode of a classic mech show rerun affected Shou deeply, even when he had no context to go on. To say it changed his life wouldn't be an understatement: he'd always liked anime and manga, but in comparison, it just seemed like kid's stuff after his revelation. But as he tried to share his love, the fourth grade Shouichi was without luck. His father was always getting ready for work or too exhausted from it, his mother had a placid reaction to just about everything, and his older brother was utterly disinterested, focused on his studies. Such a boring, normal family: it was hard to imagine they all had Quirks. But in trying to introduce his classmates to his newfound interest, he was similarly rebuked. But even though he had no one to connect with, he couldn't simply stop enjoying it. The internet served as an outlet, allowing him even more exposure to the world he'd discovered, finding fans, other series... As he engrossed himself in that sphere, he was starting to find the idea of school and friends a bit overrated.

As he entered middle school, his days were spent merely wondering when he could back home, and when he was home, Shou would stay up late into the night on his computer. When his mother because impatient with his lack of interest as the two of them ate their dinner in the otherwise empty house (husband working, brother off to college), she simply started taking meals to him. And as Shou realized a strict, daily attendance wasn't mandatory as long as he kept his grades up (something he found all too easy at his local public school), and left his room even less frequently. For him it was bliss: all the media right at his fingertips, food delivered right to his door. He didn't even see her any more unless he was going to school, often timing his bathroom breaks to avoid her.

Then, as Shou entered his final year of middle school, his father pushed his way in, making a change. To Shou, it came from nowhere: had his seclusion actually bothered his parents that much? But he wasn't allowed room to argue as he was stripped of his access to their funds directly and cut off from his mother's cooking. No longer could he buy games digitally or order anime or manga: he was only allowed cash, given a bit more to account for food. "No shipping costs," his dad reasoned, adding that it was pointless for his mother to slave over home cooked meals she couldn't see be enjoyed. It was heavy handed, but Shou was too stubborn to let this affect him. He was still going to school, so forcing himself to interact with people wasn't an issue, and buying convenience store food was more of a plus in his eyes since he was no longer restricted to any schedule. Now, his nights involved trips out to spend some of his allowance, his room quickly became even more cluttered with garbage from instant meals and snacks.

It was a game, and he was winning. Never mind that he'd manipulated his schedule to avoid his parents, fearing their judging eyes. Ignore that he spent most of school past homeroom eating in bathroom stalls or sleeping in the nurse's office. Put aside the 30 pounds he gained from eating junk food unchecked. His habits were more than enough for him to get by. He could live like this forever...

Continued in Sample Post.

[QUIRK]

Blink - A limited teleportation Quirk, Shou is able to teleport a short distance in an instant, no more than five meters, and anything beyond three is pushing his embarrassing endurance to its limits. A Blink is accompanied by a light 'jerk', and the slight pops of displaced air, both as he creates a small vacuum where he once stood and as displaces the air where he appears. The 'jerk' is the light kinetic force that results from pulling himself through space, and serves as his limitations (as in, if he's up against something stronger than that force, he could be in trouble). Anything 'grabbing' him, like clothing or another person, will come along for the ride, unless the force is not that great. A leaf laying on his head has no grip, thus will hang over empty air once he's gone. Something heavy laying down on him, or someone with their hand around their throat, will no doubt come along as well. Though in some situations this might be desirable, the added weight adds strain to every Blink, regardless of whether he wants to bring it along or not. As for the point of his arrival, that light force also determines if the teleportation will be successful. Air, water, or other light fluids will be displaced around him as he appears because they are light enough to be pushed aside. This even goes for light solids like mud or leaves, but something like packed dirt or stone is to tough for him to Blink into. As a general rule of thumb, if a normal person can't run a hand through it, he can't Blink into it. And should he try, he won't appear within it, instead only going as far as the surface, bounced back as if he'd walked straight into it. Moving to the other side of something is well within his capabilities though, but if he can't see the other side he might be in for a surprise. Due to Shou's endurance, he can only teleport every ten seconds or so without getting overly winded. Rapid successions might leave him collapsed on the ground gasping for air.

In theory, further practice will not only decrease the cooldown time, but his range and force as well. If it is possible to change his orientation (for example, vanishing while facing one direction and appearing while facing another) then he has yet to display this potential.

Otaku Aficionado – Shou knows his way back and forth the internet domains of nerd cultures, having great depth in some very specific fields of knowledge. His general computer usage skills might lead to him finding more general information, software, or programs faster than most others on average,
That's It – Really.

[SAMPLE POST]

Letting out a stiff yawn, Shouichi double clicked an icon, a game title screen popping up after a few moments. He beamed in pride, taking in the altered art for a few moments, having 100%ed it just earlier today. He didn't want to play right now, he just wanted to bask. After the title song finally wound down, he closed the application, before eyeing a folder on his desktop: a show he'd already watched half of, and his heart stirred as he imagined knocking out the rest of it once he awoke.

Turning off his monitor, he slipped off his chair, knocking aside a few loose food packages, before flopping onto his futon. Pulling his dakimura closer, he let the warmth encompass him. Closing his eyes, he'd never been more fulfil-

BANG BANG BANG

Hopping up, he gasped, "Wh-wh-wh-wh-what?"

The door crawled open, each creak sending a pang of fear into his heart. Looking up, he saw his father looking down at him, nose crinkling at the barrage of scents he'd no doubt just encountered. He spoke, but his voice was...blurry? Was that even possible?

"You're up early this morning: for school I hope?" he asked. Shou didn't have the energy to disappoint him. "I wanted to talk about your high school choices. You won't have to worry, I've enrolled you to an institution..." He seemed to sense Shou's fatigue. "...It's headed by a Hero named Tumble." Shou's head rocked back and forth, wobbling with his consciousness. The man let out a sigh of defeat, saying, "I'll brief you later then. Good night."

As the door closed, Shou flopped down, eyes fluttering shut, a few words passing through his brain. School... Institution... Tumble... Tumble the Hero? Very funny, Shou wasn't Hero material by a longshot. But if he were...to be sent to...

Shou shot up like a rocket. "Ehhhh?" he shuddered fearfully, sweat beading on his forehead. He gripped his body pillow tighter, which was the least heroic thing he could possibly imagine anyone doing...

@Jabber just running though quirk ideas, I suppose morphing into others would be too much? How about morphing into non-living objects? Creating a portable hole? Turning 2D? Phasing into shadows?

My Hider

This image is probably the closest I have for her appearance until I can get art of her commissioned. Differences with her actual appearance and the image posted is that Shen has grey, foggy eyes and shorter hair, usually a more neutral expression.

[NAME]
Shen-Mu Haumea

[GENDER]
Female

[AGE]
16

[PERSONALITY]
Shen-Mu is quiet and soft spoken, usually only speaking if she needs to or if spoken to. When she does,she'll either say a short few words or go off on a tangent. Despite her lack of speaking, she is noticeably confident in her words and doesn't hold back her opinions on things.

[BACKSTORY]
Shen-Mu is the daughter of a infamous thief and a foreign woman, her foreign name being the sign of her heritage.
While her father put in the effort to raise his child from infancy to a young girl, his life of crime and her life began to cross into one another as she reached her teen years. While her body was physically weak and frail, her quirk proved to be useful to him and his colleagues, willing to take advantage of a innocent young girl. So she served as a navigator for them on their heists. Telling them wear to go, what paths were safe. It wasn't until a local hero managed to find her and took her in, resulting in the capture of her rather and his friends. Due to her age and not fully understanding what she was doing, she got the least amount of punishment among the people involved in these heists.
Now, she mostly bides her time under the supervision of a few more trustworthy individuals. Living in a boarding house. She doesn't leave the house much, unless she has someone with her. Despite her blindness, she has taken up skills in painting, mostly nature paintings.
She fantasizes that one day, she'll be useful to one or more person, someone that won't take advantage of her as her father did. She wishes that she wouldn't be seen as a mere tool but rather a person.
[QUIRK]
Radar: Despite Shen-Mu's blindness, she doesn't have an issue navigating or knowing the world around her thanks to her quirk. Her radar ability allows her to detect and sense the environment, being aware of every nook and cranny, every subtle movement someone makes. As if she possessed a thousand invisible arms, reaching out and feeling the world around her. The usual range of it is about 15 meters in radius, in a dome shape around her. When she meditates and zones out, she is able to further extend the range of it.
However, the quirk isn't without its drawbacks, other than its lack of combat ability it gives her. First off, while it allows her to navigate the world without sight, things such as screens, writing, and distant objects outside of her range, she is blind to as any other blind person would be. Second, her power isn't selective with what it can sense. If there is a ton of small objects flying through the air, such as rain, heavy snowfall, smoke, dust, or other debris, it causes a sort of interference with her powers; as she calls it "white noise."

[SKILLS]
Painting: To the surprise of others, she picked up painting. Due to being a shut in, she had a lot of time to practice. Most of her paintings are things outside her window, painted in greys for the most part.

Enhanced senses: Her hearing is rather potent, but not to the level of animal based quirks. Her hearing became more potent to compensate for her blindness.

Navigation: Her power is more useful for when she's acting as support. Able to tell people where to go or where it's safe. She prefers to stay out of combat anyways.
[SAMPLE POST]
Shen-Mu sat in her room, surrounded by her paintings. A painting of a tree, a painting of a car, a painting of a her bedroom. Her next one was going to be of the corner outside her window. Concentrating, she focused her quirk, trying to extend its range, littel by little... Then she had it. But that wasn't the only thing she sense, there was someone just outside her door.
"Come in." she said, putting down her brush, her concentration broken. Soon, a large man stepped forward, man just about a decade older than her. From his appearance, he had some sort of insect based quirk. He could be thought of as a caretaker of sorts for her.
"I hate it when you do that." he said, holding a letter in his hand.
"I hate it when people get ready to barge into my room. Barge into it without knocking. You were going to do that weren't you?"
"...I was going to knock." He said, correcting her, his brow surrounding. Ignoring the girl's quips, he held the letter out in front of her, touching her shoulder with it so he was sure she was aware of it. "See this? You know what this is?"
To which the blind girl answered with the obvious answer. "...It's a envelope. From the size of it there is another paper in it. Could you kindly read it to me?" She said, waving her hand in front of her face, to remind her caretaker of her lack of ability to read.
"Right, sorry." The man said, taking out the note, and reading it out loud. He went into it, information about a woman who went by Tumble, a special program of sorts collecting sorts of troublemakers and misfits to become heroes, and even some info on Shen-Mu herself... As he finished the man lowered the note, staring at the young albino.
"...Listen. Shen, I know about your father, what he made you do, your little criminal record..." he said, rubbing his chin, uncertain. "I know you want to be useful to someone in the future but-"
"But what?" Shen-Mu quickly replied, picking up a small paintbrush, idly painting out a picture of the opened envelope as it sat lying on the shelf next to her. "I know you cheat on your girlfriend. The woman from the floor below? Who is she? Maybe it's the other way around?"
"Shen!" The man said, angered at the intrusion of privacy, "Don't tell anyone! It's not what you think!"
"I don't have to tell anyone." She said, having not taken her eyes off her canvas this whole conversation. "No one will know. Not either girl. On the condition that you let me go." As she finished her declaration, she finished her sketch, the envelope nicely painted out. "The blind painter. Doomed to never truly enjoy her art. Sad, isn't it, Kei?"
Kei held the letter in his hand, confused, blackmailed, and just slightly grateful at the chance to get the girl out of the house.

[OTHERS]
Her pale skin, sensitivity to the sun, and pale colored hair are all due to albinism.

Reina Mori

[NAME]

Reina Mori

[GENDER]

Female

[AGE]

17

[PERSONALITY]

Reina is reserved due to a lack of self-confidence and deep-seated general feeling of inferiority brought on in recent years. Her quirk has naturally led to her being left alone most of her life due to the trouble it tends to cause, and she's become quick to snap lightly at those who suggest anything she might not like. When she speaks, it's blunt and to the point for the most part.

This mildly abrasive personality is more of a defense mechanism than anything, and it's not difficult to see her more 'true' nature beneath it after spending a bit of time around her. She has an overwhelmingly strong sense of justice, naturally wanting to help people for as long as she can remember. She's the first to admit she's not totally selfless, though, and she often finds herself feeling guilty over the fact that she craves recognition for anything she does--these feelings don't help her surface-level abrasiveness and leads to her often pushing people away in attempts to convince herself she doesn't need that recognition, making it hard to become close to her.

Contrary to her quiet persona, Reina also has a usually well-concealed fire within her. When something catches her interest and she acts like she has something to prove to the world, for better or for worse, it takes a lot to get her to focus elsewhere.

[BACKSTORY]

Reina is an only child from a very ordinary family--something strange in such a world. With a quirkless mother and a father with the ability to weakly adjust the gravitational field of a single object at a time, it took no one by surprise when it seemed that Reina was the owner of a weak quirk that caused her personal gravity to be strong enough to annoy her and those around her, but not strong enough to do anything useful beyond getting food off the top shelf without having to grab a chair.

As Reina went through her formative years, like most children her age, she took an interest in the profession of heroes. For several years, she aimed to be accepted into a top hero school, putting everything she had into preparing herself for that.

It wasn't enough. Unable to make progress with her quirk without any guidance, she was rejected by schools with good reputations one-by-one. Those few who had been supporting her made excuses for her--'your's was a tough, hyper-competitive year' and the like. It didn't change the fact that she wasn't good enough.

Having always been a quiet girl, she began to close up even more. Deciding she simply shouldn't be a hero, she chose to listen to her parent's advice to avoid any of the smaller, no-name hero academies and instead go to a more prestigious traditional school.

'There's no shame in it, the world needs lawyers and business owners as much as it needs heroes,' her parents would say.

But there was shame in it. Reina had tried--she'd done everything she could, and it wasn't good enough.

The next few years went by, various obsessions that grabbed her attention coming and going, but through it all her interest in heroes stayed true. She kept up to date on the scene, and despite hating how it hurt to know she couldn't become one, she couldn't stop herself. It was the one obsession that had never faded from the day it had taken her, and she couldn't shake it if she tried. Never admitting it to herself, deep down she knew she harbored the faintest hope and longing that she might get a second chance.

Only a month ago, Reina made a sudden breakthrough with her quirk. revealing it's potential to be far greater than previously thought. A harmless late-night trip to a convenience store turned into a terrifying experience when a gun-toting, regenerating villain made an appearance, on the run from heroes. Reina was grabbed to be used as a hostage, but before anything else could happen, in her panic, she had used her quirk to push away the villain through the glass door he had come from. The dazed man was quickly apprehended and the heroes on scene had apparently taken note of Reina, one even coming up to speak with her while she was being tended to and calmed down by a paramedic.

The next few weeks went by uneventfully after that incident, though Reina began to experiment more with her quirk, the desire to become a hero burning stronger within her than it had in a long time. On the surface, she continued to go to school, study as much as she could stomach, and help her parents keep the house in order.

[QUIRK]

Solar System - Reina's personal gravitational field is far stronger than normal, and she has some control over it. In the quirk's default state, when Reina isn't making any effort to consciously manipulate it, its pull can be felt at least weakly up to several metres away. Standing directly next to her in this default would feel like a constant firm push towards her.

Reina can increase and decrease the force of this pull, and during her encounter with the villain, discovered that decreasing the force enough will cause her gravitational field to repulse instead of attract. Like most quirks, this manipulation is similar to any other muscle in her body in that she can train it to increase her maximum strength and endurance when using it. Due to the indiscriminate nature of this ability, it can be detrimental to use in team situations without proper coordination and communication.

Finally, Reina has exactly seven black-coloured orbs lazily orbiting around her, each only about an inch in diameter in their resting states. Also during the villain incident, she found she can 'activate' any one of these orbs causing it to grow in size and gain a strong gravitational pull. She can telekinetically control it within her gravitational field's sphere of influence, and like with her own gravity, she can manipulate the strength of the orb's pull and push. The gravity of the orb only effects herself if she completely neutralizes her own gravitational field. She's experimented a bit with activating two orbs at the same time, but the ability is a taxing one, both mentally and physically, meaning she hasn't managed it for more than a few seconds before a stabbing headache forces her to shut down both orbs. Even a single orb is difficult to maintain for more than a half-dozen minutes.

A side effect of her quirk is a 'greying' of her skin and clothes as she uses it, the effects reverting after a while of no use. The more force she's exerting, the darker she becomes, appearing to literally lose any visible colour on her body. Presumably, this will end up with her appearing as nothing more than a pitch-black silhouette.

[SKILLS]

Productive obsessions - When something grabs her interest, Reina will focus on it and learn everything about it until she reaches a competent understanding and she gets bored of it. Anything goes--from fighting games, to chess, to volleyball, to math--it just has to be something she can impress people with.

Multitasker - Unable to dedicate all of her time to the single thing that has her attention at a given moment (lest the rest of her life falls apart), Reina has become adept at focusing on multiple things at once. Important homework due but she's completely absorbed in teaching herself animation? Doing both at the same time is the correct option.

Athletic - She's made a habit of working out from the time she became interested in becoming a hero, and it's stuck despite her failures. Along with the occasional obsession with specific sports, Reina is deceptively athletic for her small frame.

[SAMPLE POST]

Reina stood just outside her home's front entrance, heavy drops of rain battering her umbrella loudly. She took in the smell of the rain, letting out an almost content sigh--poor weather by most people's standards, but it seemed to help keep her in a relatively good mood despite a long school day.

She looked down at the envelopes in her hand, given to her not thirty seconds earlier by the mail man--she had coincidentally gotten home right as he was heading up to her door. One of the envelopes caught her eye, looking fancier than the others. Careful not to drop her umbrella, she flipped through the bills and advertisements to bring the interesting envelop to the top of the pile.

And her heart stopped for a moment.

Tumble. The letter was from the hero's agency.

Reina stared, wide-eyed, unsure what to make of it, telling herself not to hope for too much. She ordered herself to not expect anything. She wouldn't let her stupid fantasy hurt her like that. She stuffed the rest of the mail into her sweater's pocket, taking one more look at the envelope in her shaking hands. She swallowed hard, scolding herself as she began to open it. Despite everything she was telling herself, she couldn't keep from hoping for something. Reina Mori simply wasn't good enough. And painfully stupid too, if this hope of hers was any indication. It was probably just a request for information on the villain she had encountered. That made sense.

Her eyes began to scan the freed letter, and she could only stare and re-read it again and again, not believing its contents. Finally, it seemed to sink in, and the girl found herself beginning to cry. Weak in the knees, she let herself fall to her rear, fighting back tears and wiping away any that managed to escape.

She couldn't keep herself from smiling to no one as she read the letter again, gripping it tightly as though it were her dream itself.

A hero as great as Tumble was offering to take someone like Reina under her wing. The teen paused, mulling that over, some of the euphoria she was feeling fading a bit. All it had taken for an invitation like this was a random chance breakthrough with her quirk, revealing it as one with potential to be strong--but all the work she had put in years before hadn't been enough. There was an unfairness to it, and on top of that the girl felt like she didn't truly deserve this invitation.

She swallowed hard, reading it one more time. She hadn't done anything in three whole years with the intention of preparing herself to be a hero. This letter was something she no longer deserved--it belonged to her younger self.

Reina wiped away another pair of tears, hanging her head as she sunk deeper into her thoughts. Anger at herself flared, and she bit the corner of her mouth hard, the pain focusing her. She didn't deserve the letter, but she had it now. She owed it to her younger self--and to Tumble herself--to accept the offer and do everything she could to retroactively deserve it.

The girl climbed slowly to her feet, finally opening the door to her house and escaping from the rain.

She felt it--the fire of her obsession being stoked. She had been given her second chance, and now she just had to ignore the fear of not being good enough again.

[OTHERS]

Reina's been hit in the face by small objects often thanks to her quirk. All it takes is a moment of forgetting her surroundings or a split-second lapse in keeping her gravitational field weak and bam.
