[OOC] Crash Course! - A Boku no Hero Academia RP

[RinOkumara]

excuse my language

[Pacifista]

I would love to join and this would be my first RP so I might need some help

and I know nothing about My Hero Academia

@RinOkumara

Well, to briefly explain My Hero Academia, the majority of people on the planet are born with 'Quirks', which are superpowers (like, 80% of people have them if I recall). As such, superheroing is something that requires training and licencing by schools and associations (vigilantism exists but it is largely frowned upon). As explained in the OP, your character would be someone with a Quirk who entered or was entered into an institute intended for outcasts unable to apply to more well known establishments (partly explained here). You might want to snoop around the wikia, at least the page that explains Quirks and gives examples, so you know where to start. Also consider reading the sheets posted in the OOC for a few example characters.

[Patches]

Good afternoon everyone

[Cat]

@Jabber Hey-yo, is it a'right if I join this motley crew?

[Jabber]

@Patches@KRAZY J@Riegal Will be sending you guys my comments on your sheets via PM.

@Er0rMorphing into others has actually been done in the series. It was called Transform.

Not sure what you mean by turning 2D, but the first thing that comes to mind is Foldabody.

Morphing into non-living objects and phasing in and out of shadows are both plausible, we just need to flesh it out some more and go into detail.

As for creating a portable hole, what does the hole do?

@RinOkumara Hey, there! Given my lack of time, the best thing I can do is offer you THIS. Hopefully this could help you and answer some of your questions.

@Cat He-yo, Cat. Sure thing, we could use some felines in this thing.

Here's my character for public input

Tommy Sparks

[APPEARANCE]

[NAME]

Tommy Sparks

[GENDER]

Male

[AGE]

14

[PERSONALITY]

Tommy is a bit of a paradox as he is simultaneously incredibly lazy and clever, mostly being clever enough to find a way to keep being lazy. It's either all or nothing for him. He is a lover once he gets attached to someone he truly and dearly cares for them. It is this tendency to do all he can for those he cares for that gets him in hot water so to speak. He acts younger than his age as a way to lower other people’s guard. Tommy tends to voice his worries and opinions out loud irrespective of others around him, when people take offence he grumpily tells them not to eavesdrop.

[BACKSTORY]

Tommy didn’t initially bother with cultivating his quirk as it was more of a hindrance than something good. Deadbeat parents sending him out each day to collect loose change or lost treasures as if they were using a metal detector on a beach. Eventually though he felt frustrated at home, everyone looked twofaced, half-starved Tommy just went out one day and didn’t return. Incidentally Tommy Sparks isn’t his real name. Tommy deliberately forgot his real name to help run from them.

Cultivating an ‘innocent and adorable’ appearance and mannerisms allowed Tommy to get away with a lot, eventually Tommy realised his quirk could be used in a highly profitable way. Namely winning at pachinko. Making little metal balls fall where he wanted? What better way to fine tune control over a quirk? Slowly Tommy began earning a profit by just sitting down in front of a noise maker and having the metal balls land where he wanted. Still a barely 14 year old kid playing pachinko all day? Even the most neglectful person would start to care sooner or later so he eventually just went to a different parlour each day so they all thought he came once a week.

Now with a sizable amount of pocket change, Tommy rented a room in an internet café and then lived out of there, going to a pachinko parlour during the day for ‘work’ to earn some money and then going back to the internet café at night to educate himself online. He had Sunday ‘off’ to go buy clothes and such. With his relatively stable living Tommy eventually just wanted a long comfortable love with people that won’t use him as a walking ATM to withdraw money from.

[QUIRK]

Pinball Wizard - Tommy has a power loosely connected to magnetism as his quirk. Able to attract and repel any metal object. Tommy can even imitate rudimentary flight, especially in a built up area like a city full of skyscrapers, however in practice it would appear closer to him either swinging from an invisible rope or as if he’s being dragged in a direction.

Currently Tommy’s control and strength of his quirk is a bit low. If Tommy is heavier than the item he’s manipulating, he’ll move it. If Tommy is lighter, he’ll either be pushed or pulled towards it depending on what he’s attempting to do to it. As an example; if Tommy “pushes” a coin into the ground, the coin will fly as fast as Tommy can manage until it hits the ground. Then the force he’s pushing the coin down with will send him upwards. If he tries to “pull” a car, he’ll likely fly towards it instead. If the vehicle was moving he would be better off slamming the brakes on the vehicle than lifting it. Perhaps later with training he’ll be able to manipulate things heavier than him and move things faster.

[SKILLS]

- Persuasion
- Cooking
- Although it's not photographic, his memory is strong

[SAMPLE POST]

Tommy was sitting in a pachinko parlour using his quirk to occasionally influence a jackpot, he couldn’t be as blatant as he used to be as the next town over they almost called the cops on him. There was no proof, but being 14 years old and spending all day playing pachinko? Well, it was already stretching it and cops would just try dragging him to school or worse, home. So when he left the pachinko parlour with his bags to toys to exchange for money and was tapped on the shoulder by an official looking woman the fear in his eyes was likely visible.

“Can I help you miss?” putting on his best deer in the headlights look and laying on the sugar in his voice before he was dragged by the ear, bags of toys in hand, all the way to Tumble's agency

[OTHERS]

Tommy keeps a small fortune in coins on his person ready to use as a makeshift weapon or escape tool with his magnetism

[Er0r]

@Jabber Cool cool. Foldabody is quite on spot with what I meant by 2D. Just thinning out flat enough to be roughly the same with of a piece of paper. Morphing actually sounds like something I might go for, I really like a character set I have in mind, but as for a Portable Hole; it simply is a wormhole (or what have you) that lets you travel to the other-side of objects without disrupting the object. Put the hole on a wall, walk through the wall, remove the hole; and the wall is 100% intact.

One last question, and I don't mind either answer or if I need to at least wait a bit, but are multiple chars allowed?

[KRAZY J]

@Er0r For now, we're doing one per participant. In the near future though, who knows.

[Jabber]

Sorry for the inactivity guys. Work has got me swamped. I'll probably be more active in a day or two.

If we don't get anymore applicants, we can start things off earlier. I'll get some IC stuff done and some improvements to the OOC in my free time and get it on as soon as I can. Thanks for the patience! Much appreciated!

@McFazzer Forgot to tell you, feel free to add Tommy to the character tab! He's good to go!

[Cat]

@Jabber I'll probably have my character posted in a day or two. Hopefully less, depending on my schedule.

Sorry if I'm holding anyone up... If needs be, continue without me. ^^

[Jabber]

@Cat No biggie. A bunch of things came up, so I'm kind of busy myself. I'll probably get things started in a day or two. My schedule gets better from there on.

Posting a WIP

The Coolest Hero In Town

[APPEARANCE]

[NAME]

Yuki Takamine

[GENDER]

Male

[AGE]

15

[PERSONALITY]

Yuki comes across as a friendly, outgoing young man, if a bit cocky and arrogant. He likes to fight, and he desires strength above all else, though he's not telling why. Despite his somewhat inflated ego, he's not particularly selfish. He just thinks he's the coolest dude. To be fair, he's very good at keeping his composure. His reactions to most things are very understated. It's not that he doesn't have feelings, it's just that he's not very noisy about them.

[BACKSTORY]

Born to a quirkless mother and a father with a minor ice-based quirk, Yuki grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. His father was, as far as Yuki knew, a businessman. He didn't see dad very much, because he was gone most of the time. He mostly just did whatever he felt like, and had no particular goals or ambitions until that fateful day. When he was seven, his mother took him along on an errand to a bank, and it just so happened it was being robbed by a villain. He watched as a person was killed, and he was afraid his mother and him would be next...But then a hero appeared and saved them. Ever since, he wanted to be a hero. He started training his powers, and hoped to be accepted into one of the many hero academies.
He thought his dream had ended when he turned 14, however. His father was arrested. It turned out he wasn't a businessman: He was the supervillain Hypothermia, wanted for several murders. Yuki was now a known criminal element, and it seemed he now had no hope of being accepted into any of the academies.
Then he heard about Tumble...

[QUIRK]

Freeze Bomb - Yuki holds out his hand, and a perfectly formed ball of what looks like water forms in his hand. It takes about a second. The ball bursts from even a small amount of force: Doing much more than squeezing it will cause it to explode, encasing everything within about 10 feet of it in an inch of ice. It also freezes any water in this area solid. Yuki is not immune to this effect: If he drops one of the orbs, it'll freeze him too. The ice it creates is totally normal, and it can be broken, albeit only with quite a bit of force.

[SKILLS]

Ice Skating - Yuki is quite agile on ice: He can slide around on it fairly well. No fancy tricks, but he can outmaneuver most people on an icy floor. He doesn't even need skates.
Pitcher - Yuki was in Little League, and he can throw pretty well. This means he can get good range out of his ice bombs.
Hand-to-Hand - Yuki has been in a fair number of fights. He's not amazing or anything, but he can throw a proper punch and probably hold his own in a scuffle. Without his powers, he'd probably lose against a trained martial artist, but not before getting a few good hits in.

[SAMPLE POST]

Yuki looked over the sheet of paper. It had a list of high schools he'd been accepted into. It was embarrassingly short. Only two. He'd expected as much. He'd never been a good student, and had been hoping to get by on his powers and become a hero. Ever since his father had been arrested, he just hadn't had it in him to keep trying.

"It's not like I have much of a choice. Really, I don't know if I have much of a fut-" He said, then spotted the second name on the list. Huh. So he had been accepted into a hero academy. "Tumble?" He asked, holding the paper in his hand and studying it carefully. A miracle, before his eyes. "Sign me up for this one." He said, nodding.

[OTHERS]

Nope.

[Jabber]

@HeroicSociopath Is a mysterious 15 year old male?

[Er0r]

Ight, I think I'm done. xD I've been sitting on this for the past two days and have't thought of a thing to add to it. If it needs more,
tell me, I'll gladly do something. But I cant stare at this codded mess much longer atm xD

a walking shrubbery

[APPEARANCE]

---

[NAME]

Akemi Akagi

[GENDER]

Female

[AGE]

15

[PERSONALITY]

Akemi's known for being pretty timid. She likes to take slow steps as she creeps around to where the people are; and when invited to speak, there's a brief pause between each of her ideas. However, she's usually very calm and seems to follow through with anything she does without holding back. She's also quite a realist. She knows when the odds are stacked against her, and prefers not to waste her time and effort.

[BACKSTORY]

Akemi was actually quite the outgoing child before her quirk started to kick in. Always running head first and living in the now.
Bust as her quirk started to develop, she noticed herself start to fade into the background of her class. It wasn't anything to be concerned about at first; she got along with just about anybody, and could easily find a group to join as class demanded. It wasn't until free time that she could feel her isolation. Everyone always grouped up around this activity or that, enjoying their time together while Akemi tended to sit on the sidelines; no longer interested in running around or what her peers were up to.

Growing up a few years; while her classmate's bond with each other deepened and cliques began to form, Akemi remained on the sidelines looking from afar. She was pretty happy though. Watching the other students play their games and socialize brought an intrigued smile across her face. She liked watching them have fun even if she wasn't in the middle of it. At least until, she woke up one day; nearing the end of her middle school career while life passed her by.

Filled with less than stellar motivation, Akemi started taking the liberty of not coming to class as often. Of course, her parents didn't know, but that was easy to cover up. Slipping in and out of the house was relatively easy and she was able to brush off any inquiry of about her absence without any consequence. Akemi began spending most of her days roaming the town. Her vines grew wild and unkempt,
and before she knew it she lost any direction in life and simply existed.

[QUIRK]

Wild Growth - Vine like tentacles sprout from her head, which she can control at will. Theses vines can stretch and grow up to a range of 15 meters, though she can only effectively control one or two strands with any skill.

These vines can also produce a strange flower. The effects of this flower remains unknown as it continues to wilt before fully blooming.

[SKILLS]

Mobile - Akemi isn't particularly fast or with great endurance, but she can turn and take off on a dime.

Thick Skinned - Being hit by a truck would obviously knock her down, but a solid punch and minor cuts won't even faze her.

Quiet - Unless you put effort into it, one might not even know she's there. A soft voice with silent steps to match.

[SAMPLE POST]

"Oho, yes..." Akemi looked down at the desk in front of her. Her vines covered her face, but her disappointment bled through her voice. She should've expected it, given how little she actually came to class nowadays; but it was a disheartening blow regardless. In front of her laid a single piece of paper telling her what choices she had to pick from. There were only two. For one reason or another she missed the cut to join most of any of the high schools in the area. The first of her choices was the old school that had come to be known for its quirk-enabled students being outnumbered nine to one. While she didn't really plan on attending much of her classes, going to a place with a focus on the quirk-less didn't sound all that appealing. Her other choice was much like the list of schools she failed to get into. In fact, she was quite surprised this one managed to stay available. Akemi had already chose this as her school of choice, due to lack of options, but she couldn't help but be curious on why the bar was set so low compared to the others. Excusing herself, Akemi left school. Honestly it was about 50/50 if anyone noticed. She headed off into town, to see what this school was all about.

[OTHERS]

Anything else that doesn't fit into the rest of the sheet.

[Jabber]

@Er0r So far, I find nothing wrong your tangled up character. Poor Akemi though.

We can discuss the flowers she produces in the near future. For now, feel free to move her to the character tab.

Hey there, guys! My current ISP has been limiting my activity on the forums. I wanted to get things started, so I came up with a brief OP for the IC. Nothing fancy, but it'll get some reactions from your characters and maybe interaction as well. Don't worry though, I'll update as soon as everyone has posted or after a few days, whatever comes first.

I've get the next set of updates prepared and outlined, so turning them into actual posts is gonna be fast. If you guys have any questions,
don't hesitate to ask.

@Cat@HeroicSociopath

Sorry for starting things out without the two of you, but don't worry. If you're still interested and manage to come up with characters,
editing you guys in or even introducing two new characters into the group, won't be a problem for me. Anyway, hopefully this doesn't discourage you guys.

[McFazzer]

I added the tag so there was no confusion with whom Tommy was talking to at the end and the title and image is a personal thing that I've done in a lot of RPs recently. If there's an issue with any of this I'm happy to edit

[Jabber]

@McFazzer No problem whatsoever. I appreciate the extra effort and it helps me immediately notice who your character is. Aesthetically pleasing posts makes me want to read them even more.
