Name: Marcus Smith
Alias: Saint, “The Saint of Angels”
Gender: Male

Age: 29

Personality:

Looking like a monster for so long, Marcus is a little overwhelmed by the fact that people view him as a hero, though he tries to live up to their expectations. He carries himself well in public, though there are those who insist they can see through the cracks in his persona from time to time. Appearing on-scene during criminal activity, he has never once had to raise his fists against someone else, his red-hot form towering over would-be villains. That being said, he hates confrontation, and is a rescue specialist to the near-exclusion of other hero activity. Rarely speaking in public, those who have talked to the hero say that he is soft-spoken and patient, tending to use fewer words when possible. Children love him.

Background:

Marcus Smith was born in a small, suburban neighborhood on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Bullied from the time he was a child, he took refuge in schoolwork, becoming a shy, bookish child. As he grew older, he befriended his elementary school janitor, a blind man who introduced him to others his age with quirks. None of them were mutants, but all the same they formed a sort of exiles’ club at the public school. They stood up for each other, Marcus always looking up to the smaller members of the club who would protect him. Though he was never physically harmed, his freakish appearance led him to be the main target of abuse. All the same, his friends turned his life around. He would never forget that.

Midway through his seventh year of education as their clique was socializing after school, the earthquake struck. Hundreds had died, thousands were injured, and Marcus felt a stirring inside of him as he heard a cries for help beneath the debris gathered for miles around. Gathering his friends, he led them to use their quirks, saving dozens of lives, returning again and again to the rubble to find anyone they could. The story took the nation by storm, children leaping to the aid of those who had spurned them, called them dangerous aberrations. Soon, Marcus and his friends had graduated, taking government pensions under the Hero Act of 2046. The trend swept the nation, Heroes popping out of the woodwork as more and more of those with Quirks began working to make the world a better place. Marcus currently stands as one of the most well-known heroes, the “Saint of the Angels” from California, specializing in rescue work.

Quirk: Bat Outta Hell

A mutation Quirk, Bat Outta Hell has caused more than its fair share of trouble in Marcus’s life, causing him to look like a giant monster even in his younger years. Physical capabilities aside, he is also capable of superheating the area immediately around him, melting stone and concrete. Because of this, his strength, and his gigantic hands, he is able to burrow at swift speeds through most materials. The combat ramifications of this ability are obvious, along with the impressive heat resistance it grants. His hide is thick enough to stop small-arms fire.

His strength is impressive, befitting of someone his size. Though not able to punch down skyscrapers with a single right hook, he boasts the might of not one, but two gorillas. Three on a good day.

Bat Outta Hell has two significant drawbacks, however. As a result of his size, he must consume an average of 15,000 calories a day in order to support his mass. Additionally, when he generates heat, he cannot force himself to cool down. As such, his costume incorporates a pair of easily removed, insulated tungsten gauntlets in order to allow him to heft those he seeks to assist. Matching pants have been acquired for the sake of modesty.

Talent and Skills:

-Degree of Civil Engineering: Marcus continued his studies after school, stating that his mother “would kill him” if he didn’t go to college. More than that, his studies coupled with a good innate sense of spacial awareness allow him to make tunnels without having to worry about them collapsing behind him.
-Botany: Though animals tended to be frightened at his monstrous appearance, Marcus’s plants were always by his side. He keeps a small garden on base.
-Empathy: Marcus has spent a great amount of time watching and listening. The man is decent at reading others, and has a decent head for words if you can get past the fact that his voice sounds like a stone mill filled with gravel and crude oil.
-Artistic Pursuits(?): Frequenting museums across the nation, tabloids insist that Marcus paints and sketches in his free time. These claims are, as of yet, unverified, though he has been seen jotting notes to himself in a small book from time to time.

Mark Veering

Name: Mark Veering
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Personality:
Mark is a fun loving human being with a warped sense of humor. He loves pulling pranks and loves trying to make people laugh. However, should the need arise: he can turn on a dime and get serious. With how he was brought up, Mark wouldn’t bat an eyelash to put himself in danger to save someone.
Apperance:


Background:
Mark and his family own a small auto body shop called Gear Shift. There he and his father worked on restoring old cars while also repairing client cars as well. Most often than not, a client would roll in a frame for an old car and ask them to fix it up like new. These were Mark’s favorite jobs. He loved going to the junk yards and find the parts needed to fix the car while also spending time with his father. He loved working on cars and loved to see how each gear and each piston moved the car.

When his Quirk appeared, he was ecstatic a first. However, he didn’t understand how it worked. It seemed that this silver liquid was useless as it just seeped out of his skin and just splatted on the floor. It could slither and spin, but nothing too exciting.

One day during their weekly outing to the scrapyard. Mark found a car door he knew they could use for their latest project. He pulled the door out from the large pile, but before he could call for his father. The pile suddenly collapsed. Mark didn’t have time to run and simply raised his arms to protect his head. His father turned the corner to see the pile slam into his son. He quickly rushed to dig Mark out.

When he reached where Mark was, He was astonished to see he was wearing metal armor. Mark too was astonished and couldn’t fathom where the armor came from. The armor quickly changed to silver liquid and seeped back into his skin. Mark looked at his father in complete shock before he passed out.

Mark woke up in the hospital with an IV in his right arm. Mark hated needles and hated IVs even more, but as long as he didn’t see the IV go into his arm. He was fine. The IV was covered and he guessed his father told them his issue with it. Mark groaned and began to sit up. His father and mother were right there with him. Relieved he was ok. Once Mark was stable and awake, his father explained what had happened while he was out.

According to his father, a Quirk specialist had come in and asked to run some tests to see what kind of Quirk Mark had. According to the tests: Mark’s Quirk allows him to create Liquid Metal from his body and create armor around his body and harden like a suit of armor. However, this Quirk has some major Flaws. The test found that the Liquid Metal uses some of Mark’s blood to create it. The more he uses it the more exhausted he becomes and the weaker the metal gets. Using his Quirk for long periods of time could result in him dying from blood loss. The specialist warned Mark’s father to make sure he doesn’t overexert his Quirk.

Once Mark was medically clear he was sent home. His mother and father refused to let him work in the shop until he was fully healed. For a week, Mark couldn’t work on cars or help in the shop. In his mind, it was going to be the worst week of his life. However, while having down time allowed him to see just how his Quirk worked. He began letting the Liquid Metal seep out his body, harden and create armor. He then tried to create a weapon. He imagined a sword he had seen in a show once and tried to create it, but nothing happened. The Liquid Metal simply swirled and weaved in his hand. He sighed in defeat, but then came up with an idea. He had a wrench in his room and he let the Liquid Metal coat it to see if it could metal it like acid, but once again nothing happened. He let the Liquid Metal slither back into his hand and sighed again. He looked at the wrench one more time before turning back and jumping in surprise. The Liquid Metal in his hand had taken the shape of the wrench and hardened. He then let the liquid metal liquefy again and coat a hammer. He pictured the hammer and the Liquid Metal morphed into the Hammer and hardened. With his new found knowledge he began coating the other tools in his room with the Liquid Metal. Even though he couldn’t work on cars, he persuaded his parents to let him coat the tools in the shop with his Liquid Metal.

After his week was up, he went back to working at the shop. With his new found ability. He used the Liquid Metal to create the tools so he wouldn’t have to leave his workstation to get a tool he needed. His father called it lazy, but he called it efficient. Mark knew he could coat an object and create it with his Liquid Metal. so with the money, his father paid him, he began purchasing weapons online. When the first weapon appeared on their doorstep. His parents were a little taken aback by it, but Mark showed him what he could do. He let the Liquid Metal coat the sword and get its measurements f before it slithered back into Marks body. He then let more Liquid Metal seep from his body and he pictured the sword. the Liquid Metal morphed into the sword and hardened. His parent's jaws dropped when they saw what had happened, but Mark didn't take into account how heavy the sword was as it dropped to the floor and cracked the wood flooring. His father started laughing while his mother glared at him and at what he had just done.

as the months went by, Mark watched as more and more like him started to pop out of the woodworks and the news seemed to have a field day with these new super powered people. as more and more began to appear, he heard about the Apprentice program. Mark was a big movie buff and loved the supernatural movies were some kid finds a meteor or super suit and becomes a hero. he thought this could be a great chance to become like one of the heroes he watched in so many movies. As well as learning more about his superpower and what other kinds of things his Liquid Metal could do and how it can help those in need.

Quirk:
Description:
Liquid Metal:
Marks Liquid Metal Quirk allows him to produce a liquefied Metal. However, that’s not the only thing that his Quirk can do. It can coat his body and harden into armor to protect his body. It can also take the shape of weapons and harden as well, but to do so. Mark’s Liquid Metal must coat around the weapon in question to get its many features like weight, length, width, and any mechanical workings that might be inside.

Flaws:
His Liquid Metal might look tough at first, but it can be broken with enough force and pressure. Also, since Mark uses some of his blood to create it. The more he uses it the more exhausted he becomes and the weaker the metal gets. Using his Quirk for long periods of time could result in him dying from blood loss.

Flint O'Brien

_{Height: 5'4 ft
Weight: 142 lbs}

---

---

Name: O'Brien, Flint
Age: 14
Gender: Female

Personality:

Flint O'Brien's as stubborn as a mule and has a fiery temper that few can match. She has a strong distrust for authority, believing that she's better off making her own decisions than listening to anyone else. O'Brien is fiercely independent, more often than not choosing to approach a problem on her own than seek out help from others. She tends to rush into things without thinking them through. Flint's more likely to spend an hour ramming her head against a wall than to go to someone else, even if they're more capable, for help. Asking for assistance is a sign of weakness; and growing up how she did, Flint learned how to hide her weaknesses well behind an aggressive, unapproachable mask. She suffers from a poor ability to socialize due to this behavior. She has difficulty explaining her thoughts to others, especially if they have to do with her feelings. She'd much prefer to bottle up her emotions and let them fester than talk things out. Despite Flint's relatively powerful quirk, her many other shortcomings have made following her dream of becoming a hero...hard, to say the least. She's jumped between multiple schools, few being willing to deal with her rebellious nature. Yet, despite her many flaws, Flint has a passion that burns like the flames she commands. There is nothing in this life she wants more than to be a hero. Her overwhelming desire to help people cannot be overlooked. She has never let anything stop her from achieving her dreams.

Background:

Flint O'Brien was born to Maria O'Brien in a run down Harlem clinic. Her father had run out on Maria the day she told him she was pregnant, leaving the young woman to raise Flint all on her own. During Flint's first few years, Maria had difficulty keeping up with two jobs and finding time to take care of her daughter. Raised staunchly Catholic by her own parents, Maria relied on a local priest to help watch her child while she worked since she couldn't afford an actual daycare or babysitter. Father Adams did his best with the toddler, though the girl turned out to be quite the handful. The young mother, exhausted from work and inexperienced in child bearing, leaned heavily on the older religious leader's guidance. He himself wasn't great with children; Adams routinely found himself bending to the little devil's whims. Neither he nor Maria ever properly disciplined her, leading to Flint never learning to respect her authority figures.

Flint's powers manifested on her fourth birthday when she used the candles to set fire to the cake...and the table it was on. The Father's first assumption was that the child was possessed. Adams tried to cast out the demon, only for the young girl to freak out and use her powers to nearly set fire to the church using flames from the candelabrum. Flint was then locked in a room for several days, only given food and water through a small window. The terrified four year old's pleas for an explanation fell on deaf ears. After much research and prayer, the priest came to the conclusion that Flint had one of the 'Quirks' that had been talked about so much on the news. The girl was finally taken back home by her mother, but the damage had been done: Maria was terrified of her own child, and Flint hated her for letting Adams lock her away. She refused to ever go back to the church. Her mom chose to leave her home alone instead, further forcing the young adolescent to become more independent and resentful of her mother.

Once she was old enough, Maria started to send Flint to school. She hated it. People kept telling her what to do. She fought against her teachers all the way till second grade, her defiance escalating to outright violence on a number of occasions. Flint was then forced to transfer to a 'special' school for more difficult children. As she grew older, Flint continued to defy authority. She got into altercations with other students practically every day. It was a miracle she avoided expulsion for so long.

Maria transferred her to another school after she finished elementary, hoping a new environment might promote better behavior. She was wrong. Flint continued to fight and rebel. She was barely passing all of her classes and went out of ers way to screw with the other students. If she didn't come home with a split lip or red knuckles, her mother counted it as a good day. Things continued to escalate until another student arrived at the school. A transfer, and the only student at the school other than Flint with a quirk, it was only a matter of time before word reached O'Brien of the boy's special ability. Her 'friends' dared Flint to fight him; and of course she took them up on their challenge. Flint caught the other student in the hall and attacked him. The new boy's super strength shattered Flint's ribs, and the pyro's fire covered her opponent in first degree burns before teachers were able to detain both of them.

That was the final straw. The police were brought in and ended up dragging O'Brien away in handcuffs. She was threatened with charges of assault and arson. Flint may have been taken to court, too, if it wasn't for the intervention of a total stranger. One of New York's more famous heroes heard about the incident and came to the station right away, working out a way to settle things without potentially putting a child behind bars. In exchange for the charges being dropped, the girl would have to serve a year's worth of 'community service' and would be put on probation. After talking it over with Maria, Flint agreed. The hero took Flint in to the apprentice program. He explained what it was they did there. To a young, impressionable mind like O'Brien, this man changed her whole prospective. Flint hated her lot in life. She hated everything about how her mother had raised her. People had treated her like a freak for having a quirk, and, in her mind, she'd been striking back at them for their persecution. This hero offered her another way. Instead of destroying the system, Flint should strive to fix it- to make sure no one else had to suffer or fight like she had because they were born different. O'Brien channeled her energy into this new goal, throwing all of herself into becoming a hero.

Quirk:

Fire Manipulation-

Flint is capable of controlling fire with her mind. Any existing flame is hers to command. she is able to shape an inferno to her will, wielding it as a weapon or choking it out as she sees fit. O'Brien can quench or control a blaze roughly the size of a house fire, though doing so takes some concentration and effort on her part. She can't create fire from thin air; Flint is only able to control existing flames. Manipulating a blaze takes some measure of energy and focus, the intensity of which is dependent on the size and ferocity of said inferno. Unlike some pyros, O'Brien is in no way immune to her own quirk's destructive power. She can be burned just like anyone else. To counteract some of the limits of her abilities, Flint tends to keep multiple lighters on her person- just in case she needs to get fired up; they don't offer a great volume of fuel to work with, but it's something. To the same effect, Flint's been on the look out for fireproof clothing, though she's yet to find anything after rummaging through the stocks of numerous thrift stores.

Talents and Skills:

• While she has no formal combat training, Flint's aggressive and stubborn personality have gotten her into plenty of scuffles. She can take a hit, and she knows how to dish it out.
• Due to her mother working two full time jobs and never having time to take care of her, Flint had to learn how to feed and take care of herself. Se isn't a half bad chef; O'Brien's especially good at making a decent meal with very few ingredients to work with.
• Flint's family never had the money to pay for a trip to the hospital. If she got hurt (and thanks to all the constant fights, that happened often) she had to patch herself up. She learned how to keep a steady hand when using a needle, and the best ways to make a splint or bandage a wound.

Temperance Wilk

_{Height: 5'2” / 158 cm
Weight: 97 lbs / 44 kg}

Name: Wilk, Temperance ("Tempest")
Age: 13
Gender: Male

Personality:

Tempest’s manner of dealing with people is self-assured and charming, and he is said to be the "Princely" type. He uses his wiles to entertain while simultaneously focusing on the task at hand. Because he often appears bruised and injured, and his eyes and raspy voice make others perceive him as weird or even scary, Tempest has basically forced his personality to reflect that of royalty, hoping that the people around would be less cautious around him. He often realizes things the others are too naive to understand, keeping the information to himself for his own amusement or to watch things play out in order to determine how best to help the others. Tempest is calm and logical. Because of his time spent at home and away from many people, he also can come across as rather detached. And while Tempest has purposely created this princely embodiment, deep down, he's extremely self conscious of how he looks and what other think of him.
Coupled with his "princely" attitude, he is very polite to people who are in power or related to it, and only helps people who can benefit him in some way. He has a habit of being skeptical in situations that won't benefit him or his friends. He tends to be quite serious, but he is tolerant of his friends eccentric personalities. He is not afraid to speak his mind...except for when his throat hurts, in which he physically can't speak his mind.

Background:

Temperance was born in Seoul, South Korea. Judging by his name, his parents were expecting a girl, but even after his birth they stuck with it. Like many other children, Tempest's quirk came into fruition when he was four; he had gotten into a fist fight with another child. Unaware that the other's attacks were ultimately making him stronger, Tempest sent the the kid to the hospital with one punch. His parents believed that their son had super strength at first, but everything became clear within the first few months of having his quirk; that he was absorbing energy and redirecting it into his muscles.

Moving to America due to a job opportunity and growing up as an only child, Tempest spent a lot of time in his father's weapon shop; due to the lack of customers, it was usually just the two of them in there. When it was just them, Tempest's father made it an active routine to introduce every weapon he had up for sale to his son so that one day he could take over the shop. Of course, Tempest was excited to do anything with his father, but he was only six at the time, so while the images of the weapons remained in his mind, the information about them didn't. Fortunately, going around the shop multiple times a day with his dad made the information stick, although it was mostly basic; what the weapons were good for doing.

(There was an accident in the shop where one of the old racks holding a set of various tools gave in, toppled over and fell right on top of Tempest while he was doing his hourly walk around the shop. The rack completely trampled him, with his throat taking the most damage due to the placement of the shelves. His father attempted to free him, but because Temperance was clearly panicking, his quirk made it impossible to get near without taking any unintentional blows. Fortunately, the paramedics arrived and got him to the hospital, where they were able to take care of his wounds and determine that Temperance would have a permanent ruptured throat, limiting his speech capabilities to a raspy, uneven voice. Despite this traumatic moment that's permanently scarred him for the rest of his life, Tempest was more than ready to get back into the shop and further his education on weapons.)

As the shop started growing popular with heroes and partnerships with hero schools, Tempest's father became increasingly busy, leaving said boy on his own to learn. He read about the weapons, how they were made, where they originated from, and their usage, watched videos of people or heroes using such weapons (of course, he was too young to wield any at the time, and the whole thing with the rack from earlier), and even started to broaden his horizons to other information that would prove useful. And so, for the years that he wasn't aloud to wield any of the weapons in his father's shop, Tempest learned everything he could about them, and everything else; he spent almost every wake moment trying to stuff more information into his brain.

By the time he was around ten, Tempest's father gave him permission to touch the safe weapons in the upper level of the shop. Although the safe weapons were made of plastic or had rubber covering the sharp parts, Tempest was about to try his skills. Fortunately, all of his work paid off as every safe weapon he held, he had some idea of how to use. And now that he was able to see what the weapons felt like, he started spending all of his time in there; even bringing a blanket, some snacks, and a few books to read if he didn't understand something.

Tempest took increasingly interest in the bo, or staff. It was a weapon that most people overlooked for its sharper counterparts. And with enough begging, Tempest got his father to come up when his shop wasn't busy and show him how to wield it. That coupled with professional videos online made him a force to be reckoned.

Once he had turned twelve, Tempest was invited to join the Apprentice Program by the Heroes, to become one of them. Of course, Tempest was nervous at first, as he'd planned out the rest of his life to be inside the shop and selling weapons. Plus there was the fear of meeting other people his age who would probably pick on him for his appearance like in school. But it was ultimately his father who told him that this would be for the best and convinced him on how much of a great hero he could be if he went. With his father backing him up, Tempest knew he couldn't back down and decided to face his fears and become a hero.

Quirk: Power Up

Tempest's is able to absorb and utilize energy from physical and blunt force attacks. The energy, once absorbed momentarily, would be used by his muscles to temporarily increase his physical strength immensely. Limits would include the inability to nullify attacks since he only absorbs energy. Tempest also has a limit to how much energy he can absorb. Absorbing too much puts him at risk of destroying himself from the inside out while redirecting too much energy to his muscles could lead to the rest of Tempest becoming physically drained and paralyzed. When using too much energy, Tempest experiences a state of hyperactivity, but if he doesn't take a break, he'll eventually feel physically drained, to the point that he can't move his body anymore.

Talents:

• Knowledge of weapons.
• Skilled in Bojutsu.
• Mastery in the Korean language, when compared to his Englsih.
• Skilled in communicating without speaking (this does not include sign language).
• Not really a talent, but should be mentioned that Tempest's hair grows rather quickly, him having to cut it after a few weeks.

Ryoma Otonashi

[Appearance]

Height: 5' 5"
Weight: 124lbs

Name:
Otonashi Ryoma
Gender:
Male
Age:
15

Personality: Ryoma is the quiet type, he'd much prefer the companionship of a good book than a person. But don't be mistaken, if you talk to him first, he'll talk back. A bit awkward but well meaning. He tends to be the calm voice of reason in any group. He's a great listener and doesn't judge people for their problems, if you need someone to vent to, he's your guy. He has this quiet confidence to him that lets people know he has confidence in his skills, but without shoving it in their faces.He's a calm, level headed person who can stay that way in most situations, prefering to analyze things rather than rush headlong into them. Though he comes off as the overly serious type, he doesn't stop others from having fun, he'll remove himself from a conversation if he feels like he's bringing down the mood of it.

Background: Ryoma grew up in the shadows of an older sister who's a famous hero, one of the first people to be discovered with a Quirk. All eyes were on her, so nobody really expected much from him, which was how he liked it. He could go through life without his parents shoving expectations and pressure onto him. It was good thing too, because nobody was really disappointed when he discovered his Quirk, and everybody realized that it was pretty much useless for everything but a party trick. Everyone told him that he could never be a hero with a Quirk like his. Everyone but his sister, that was. She encouraged him that his Quirk could be useful and if he wanted to, he could become a hero. When he expressed interest in it, his sister used her influence to get him an apprenticeship with a hero. The only problem was that it was in the United States. Not wanting to let down his sister, Ryoma accepts the apprenticeship, and prepares to leave home.

Quirk: Outline
You know that thing in stealth video games where you can see a glowing outline of the enemy through walls? That's basically what Ryoma can do. It doesn't matter if somebody is in his line of sight or not, near or further away, he can see that glowing outline. Even through most walls, with the exception of extra thick walls and certain types of metal. At the moment, the glowing outline is white, but as his Quirk develops and gets stronger he'll be able to see different colors around people, which can tell him whether the person is an ally or not, and various other things.

This Quirk isn't something that he can just turn on and off, it is always activated. Unfortunately, if he uses it too much, it blurs his vision and gives him headaches. The solution is a simple one, his glasses. The lens are made from a special material that basically nullifies his Quirk and allows him to chose when he uses it. The lens are none perscription, he has perfect vision, but they still aid his sight.

Talents and Skills:Due to a surprising amount of lean muscle, and a lot of training, Ryoma is very good at parkour and free running. He's able to run, jump, and climb his way into, out of, and on to just about anything. Because of his Quirk he's also pretty darn good at not being seen when he doesn't want to be. Great at analyzing situations, picking out weaknesses, and keeping his cool. He could be a great hero if only he could fight his way out of a wet paper bag.

Outside of the hero stuff, Ryoma loves to cook. Any friends he picks up during his apprenticeship will certainly be well fed.

Fueling Stereotypes One Hamburger At A Time

Appearance

Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 142lbs

Name: Reed, Lucy

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Personality: Lucy is loud, bold, and brimming with confidence that borders on arrogance. She's one of those people who isn't afraid to call you out on your BS. She's honest to a fault, she couldn't lie to save her life and wouldn't want to. She's incredibly outgoing and loves making new friends as well as hanging out with old ones. The type of person who, no matter what, always has a smile on their face, to the point where sometimes it's hard to tell what she's really feeling. Her confidence extends to her body as well as her skills, she's completely comfortable with her body and tends to forget that not everyone is. She has a habit of hugging her friends, male and female alike, and accidentally molesting them with her chest. She also tends to make comments about other people's bodies, hairstyles, clothing, etc that aren't always PG-13, but are always intended to be positive.

Background: Lucy is the youngest of five kids and the only girl. If she wasn't tough, she wouldn't have survived her childhood. She and the rest of her siblings were born and raised in California, minutes away from the beach. They spent a lot of time outside and in the sand. Their parents were thankful for this, because it spared their house the damage that surely would have been caused. She discovered her Quirk one day on complete accident. One day her and one of her brothers were mock fighting on the beach, she threw a punch at him that he successfully blocked, but it still sent him flying. He was fine, just winded, but it had still scared everyone. One trip to the hospital later, Lucy now knew that she had a Quirk, one that her brothers helped her name. That was two years ago. Lucy trained hard, but very carefully, with her new Quirk, wanting to learn not only how to use it properly but effectively. Because from that moment on, she wanted to be a hero. And now, two years later, she's going to get the chance.

Quirk: Burst Impact, if you've ever met someone who can hit hard, if they punch in front of you, you can literally feel the air their displacing moving toward you. With Lucy, that air is energy capable of hitting a person. Though it doesn't do as much damage, since the energy isn't localized into her fist, or foot, it is still capable of knocking a person back a few feet. Lucy still hasn't quite learned to control it properly, but has learned that she needs the foward momentum and air displacement of a good strike, or slapping someone on the back too hard (not that she's ever done that before or anything). Because she doesn't have proper control over it yet, it doesn't happen every time she throws a strike, and she also doesn't know how to not make it happen. Another drawback is the fact that that air is being turned into energy, thus every strike that Burst Impact happens on, she's using up more energy than she normally would.

Talents and Skills: Lucy has no traditional martial arts training of any kind, but three of her brothers do and they started teaching her how to defend herself when she was pretty young. She hits hard, she hits fast, she knows how to block and has some skill at grappling. But her moves are primitive and her footwork seriously lacking. She also doesn't fight by any rules, she fights dirty and is more than willing to use her surroundings to her advantage. Due to living right near the beach her entire life, she's a strong swimmer, and from a combination of swimming and running on sand, has excellent endurance and stamina. Has the ability to stuff copious amounts of food into her mouth at one time and not choke on it.

Name: Hironaka, Severa
Gender: Female

Personality:

Severa appears laid back at first glance and generally aloof, upon first introductions. Though she does aim to appear impressive and even admired by her peers. She generally seems like she doesn't care about much but there is one piece to the contrary. As it happens, Severa has plenty of buttons to push and as a result, is probably one of the more easier people to piss off. Although sometimes she is regretful for her short fuse but not all the time. There is an underlining sense of heroism in her, as she generally believes people should be honest and honorable, but sometimes she misses her mark when she is in a fit of rage.

Background:

Severa is the product of an accidental pregnancy between an American and a Japanese. It may sound unflattering but that was the realty as her mother hooked up with an American man while she was visiting the United States. Even though Severa was unplanned, her mother decided to carry the pregnancy to full term as Severa's mother met another man, a rich, foreign tycoon, who promised a happy life for both. The young family spent a lot of time traveling around and enjoying the satisfying life that wealth had brought them. That wasn't to say they didn't have their troubles. Severa had always been aware of her supposed father's indifference to her even though her mother told her "not to worry about it". It wasn't until later in life that she found out.

Though the circumstances were odd, Severa was not told anything until she was twelve, after pressing her mother excessively. Even then, she only knows the bare bones of that story. Still, it was enough of an impression for Severa to develop her attitude of resentment and bitterness towards her parents. This rebellious attitude kindled under the certain negative influences of a friend until finally they caught up to her. Due to a bit of maliciousness, she ended up getting into a bit of trouble in Japan and chose to leave, picking the United States as her new home.

With the promise of a life using her Quirk and with the fact she had no where else to turn, she decided to join the Hands-On force in New York...

Quirk:

Phantom Menace
Transformation Quirk. Severa has the ability to secrete a transparent but visible ethereal vaporous gas form (pictured below) that she can transfer her consciousness to, leaving her physical body behind. Being a gas, Severa can fly and float with relative ease, and being ethereal means that things that happen on a physical plane can no longer touch this form. Essentially, Severa can phase through walls and be unaffected by physical attacks. However, Severa can, provided she concentrates, bring her vaporous gas to the physical plane, allowing her to interact physical with things. Furthermore, Severa can grab an object or person and bring them back with her to the ethereal plane, meaning that thing or person will no longer be impacted by the physical world. The person or object is immediately returned to physical state once contact with Severa is broken.

There are limitations and a significant weakness to Severa's Quirk. There is a limit to the size and weight of an object she can't make ethereal. A rough estimate puts that limit at the average sized human. There is also no threat of death if someone was released in another object, like a wall. Instead, one would find themselves trapped. Severa's weakness is that her physical body is left behind and since her consciousness goes along with her vaporous form, her physical body is left as if it were a soulless wandering husk. Damage to Severa's physical body will also harm her vaporous form, at least she'll perceive it so.

There is another additional note about the Phantom Menace Quirk. It is that Severa must mutate (usually her hand as pictured above) in order to secrete the vaporous gas. This mutated flesh appears burned with crystals coming out of her skin. Though interesting to look at, it appears that mutation is simply a cause to the effect of the gas and in itself, appears entirely mundane.

Ghastly Form

Talents and Skills:

Severa's family is rich and lives rather well with no apparent sign of her being cut off. It is also because of this money that Severa had several private trainers to condition her for the whole hero career, so she is naturally in good shape and health for her age.

Virmire, Dante

_{Height: 5'11"
Weight: 195 lbs (May change when using her Quirk.)}

---

---

Name: Virmire, Dante (Louise)
Gender: Female
Age: 16

Personality:

She is a bit of a loose cannon, doing whatever seems right in the moment. Dante heavily believes in loyalty and backing your friends. While she can be violent and definitely has been in the past, she isn't a violent person. Dante simply sees violence as the best way to get a peaceful solution...or something like that, she hasn't really thought about it to much.

Background:

Dante's parents died in a fire when she was very young, as such she has been raised in an orphanage in New York since the age of five. When her abilities manifested everyone was a bit startled to find she was made entirely of concrete. For a while it was believed that this was her quirk, to turn to concrete. It wasn't until much later that it was discovered her ability was much more than that. She could mimic materials she came into contact with, such as stone, copper, steel, anything solid she could touch, she could mimic.

Dante wants to be a hero to prove to herself and others that she has the will and the ability to become a hero. She feels responsible for giving back to society, because of the people who helped her in the orphanage. Though she did have her problems with the other kids. She doesn't like bullies and after standing up for the 'weak' one to many times, she was taught a lesson by some of the older bullies. They would hound her constantly, some even would go so far as to say that she caused the fire that killed her parents. After a while Dante couldn't stand it anymore and used her quirk to beat them. That's whem she doscovered her love of fighting. Soon sje was seeking out fights, the tougher the opponent the better. As she grew older she fell in with a crowd of kids who enjoy fighting as much as she does. They would get into bare knuckle boxing matches and battle it out. It was at one of these matches that she was discovered by one of the scouts for the apprenticeship program.

Quirk: Material Mimic

She can absorb properties of solid matter that she is in physical contact with. When she was younger, everyone thought her ability was to turn to stone. Eventually though the true nature of her ability was discovered. She found that she could turn into things other than stone by touching them. She could make her body turn into the same materials of whatever she was touching. (i.e. If she was grabbing a steel pipe her body would turn into steel.) But after a while (a few hours) she would always turn back into herself. Turning herself more than twice in one day would cause her to get horrible full body aches.

Talents and Skills:

She has a natural affinity for fighting with a specialization in boxing. Without changing, her stamina and endurance are great. When she changes though, shes nearly unmatched. She enjoys cooking and is actually pretty good at it, but she would never admit it to anyone, it's more of a guilty pleasure that she doesn't want to admit to.

Character Information

Name

Samada, Isinui

Gender

Male

Age

15

Personality

Hyper | Fidgety | Clumsy

These three words are what mainly sum up Samada after his quirk was jump-started by puberty. Often overflowing with energy that makes him fidget and seem anxious constantly that can seem tiring to those who look at him too long. It has also given him a positive outlook on life as he can't help but see the good in things, but it also makes him act before thinking most of the time causing him to be somewhat clumsy. Most events he finds funny, even things normally isn't; an inability to handle his emotions or thinking properly at times. This can also make him turn into a chatterbox that will talk non-stop, often ending with annoying others away or biting his tongue.

Background

The Tale of Samada

Born into a pretty normal and typical family with neither parents turning out to be heroes. A father, who had a engine quirk allowing him to build up and manipulate the energy in his body to be built up and stored for later use, which came in handy against fatigue or simply when tired and a mother with a weak force quirk allowed her to apply weak pushes on what she touched. These two quirks would come to define Samada's own individual quirk as the doctor would tell him upon hitting puberty.

Samada would grow up with a father who worked as lumberjack that was known as man with unlimited energy while the exhaust vents mutation growing from his shoulders helped to prevent burnouts. Whereas the father relied on his quirk, his mother, on the other hand chose not to pursue hers and instead ran a small cooking show and often let Samada be her little helper with cooking.

Growing up, he was a relatively normal and behaving kid that like most, also came to enjoy superheroes and would join other kids to read comics. It was the set of vents on his back; a mutation coming from his father being the one thing that really stood out about him, though they had no use or purpose at the time and so mostly kept them hidden beneath a shirt.

Since the age of five, Samada always loved superheroes; one in particular who inspired him especially. A sport themed hero had gotten his attention at the age of seven and ever since wanted to be like him and gotten into the habit of trying out a myriad of sports, though most tended to end with him in bruises and scrapes. He wasn't one for getting angry easily, but the constant failing to find a sport that fit him left him frustrated and this went on for nearly a year until Samada had enough. It would all change upon nearing the age of eight, when one day stumbling upon a softball and his frustration reaching its peak and this fit of rage would lead him to learn of his talent at pitching after seeing the ball vanish in the distant.

That day was a turning point for the boy who had been stuck in a rut the past year and ever since he would practice his pitching. Spending long hours of the day checking to see how far and fast he could throw, while through testings came to learn he was ambidextrous, leaving him capable of pitching with both hands. Yet, he still favored the right hand and his father, who saw this and used some of his breaks to toss the ball with him.

These alone time with his father, who was otherwise busy most of the time were some of his favorite memories and at this time received valuable advice. Being told that, though his pitching was stronger with the right hand and instead to only use his left hand around others and this confused him at first. When asking why, his father told him that if he planned to be a hero or go into sports that keeping a hidden trump card could come save him from a dangerous situation one day. And so, Samada came to solely use his left hand when in public while making sure to keep practicing with his right in secret, giving him something only he and his father knew.

Not long after, he joined the kid's league baseball team, taking the position of pitcher as expected. He always played his best to make his parents proud, while keeping the hopes of being able to use the skills gained from this in the future as a possible hero. Yet, those dreams weakened as he watched kids around his age gaining quirks as he showed no sign of one still, only having the useless vents on his back.

Two years passed since then and nothing much had changed and now at the age of ten with no hint of a quirk popping up as noting changed. That is, until his cousin, Tetsuo suddenly appeared at their footsteps along with some officials one day to hear something terrible had happened. What exactly happened, he never found out and seeing the state his cousin was in, thought it best not to ask; simply learning Tetsuo would be living with them from then on.

He did not mind at all and found it could actually be fun to have Tetsuo living with them along with being good to be with family after the incident. Even if Samada didn't know his cousin all that well since the two didn't get to really hang out much, but it didn't matter and made him a promise to be there and support him long as needed, instantly treating him as part of the family.

Living with Tetsuo had been strained and awkward at first, though not once did Samada give up on trying to cheer him up, coming to see him as a younger brother, though his being somewhat cold and distant made things somewhat difficult.

After two years of living with them; Samada's overly optimistic ways started getting to Tetsuo or at least he hoped as he made sure to have his cousin join him in any game or activity. He refused to hang out or associate with someone that tried to exclude or treat him badly as he became protective of him.

Just when things between the two were improving and everything with the family going well, then puberty would hit the now twelve year old. A normal process that all boys and girls went through, but for Samada it would turn out to be a very life changing experience. After years of dreading he might not get a quirk and that very night that puberty struck; jump starting his quirk which would throw his body out of whack.

On that night; nothing would be the same as his body would constantly create energy causing a disruption in his metabolism and the first spew of smoke from the vents which had been inactive for all his life and awakened him.

Life became very exhausting and hectic for the next six months with him needing to figure out an eating schedule due to his metabolism being sped up. This left him needing to eat two and sometimes three times the quantity of food humans normally ate, though it didn't bother Samada too much, though with it meant being unable to partake of anything with caffeine or high sugar content. He hated having to give up most candies and with a mom, who worked as a chef giving him books and pamphlets on healthy food.

Along with the multiple repeated doctor visits to figure out just what was going on with his body and whether if it was started by a quirk, what exactly it was. It took several blood and tests to find that his quirk had made his body into a living generator while it took an accident to learn of what exactly its purpose was.

An incident involving him flicking peas with a spoon out of boredom as a sudden spew from the vents caused him to jump in surprise. The sudden shock having him send the spoon flying straight through the glass window of the hospital door of his bedroom and embed into the wall across from his bedroom. From there, it was revealed he was able to transfer energy his body created through his hands to give objects instant momentum without needing to build up or actually apply force.

From that moment on, he would be put through special training regiments to work out how his quirk worked and to try and properly control it, but all that energy made it very difficult for Samada to fully concentrate and gather his mind, which greatly impacted any progress. None of it discouraged him, however, instead sparking his hopes of being a hero and this dream turned into his motivation.

The next three years would be painful and exhausting with all the training sessions and forced diet restriction. Samada endured it all of it; thanks to his parents for being the pillars that kept him on his feet and his friends, especially Tetsuo giving him support, keeping him from giving up.

And finally the determination to fight for what he aimed for; to become a hero and though that goal was still a ways off. This chance would come by chance meeting through an accident during private practice pitching baseballs. After one of his pitches turned out faster than he intended sending it right through the gate, where a scout happened to be passing nearby leading to his acceptance into the program and off to america....

When asked why he wished to joined the academy he would give two reasons:

<Snipped quote>
To inspire the youth whether weak or strong to never back down for through the worst of it, you'll have family and friends to act as your strength.

That is the kind of hero Samada Isinui aims to be.

Quirk: Momentum

Description

A quirk that has caused Samada's body to continually create an abundance of energy that he is able to channel and concentrate into both his hands and fingers. That energy then can be transferred into items or objects that he touches which can then be fired off like projectiles instantaneously up to 100 mph. At this current time he can freely fire objects between 0-100 mph without needing to concentrate or exert that much effort.

When he focuses and concentrates while pooling some of the energy, he can boost the momentum to throw upwards to 150 mph, though with some slight strain in his hand muscles afterwards.

Currently his strongest use of momentum is the overburst shot that allows him to greatly propel an object up to 500 mph. Unlike the previous use of this momentum, overburst requires a build up charge taking thirty seconds that comes with a backlash that causes overheating in the arm using it and limits the use of the arm for a certain period of time and so he is only capable of firing one overburst with each each arm. Due to this drawback, this skill is best meant for emergency use.

With him being ambidextrous; allowing him to use both hands for his quirk, though favoring his right hand leaves his left hand slightly weaker. Whereas his right hand being able to throw at the max speed, his left is only able to fire at 135 mph and with overburst up to 450 mph, which he has come to find being a good way to get others to let their guard down.

The mutation of vents gained by his father helps regulate and compensate the energy usage by expelling smoke which can release enough volume to cover one person. Using this greatly lessens the backlash that would otherwise cause intense overheating and burn damage on his arms, though at this current time, Samada is unable to properly control when venting causing him to release at random times which can happen multiple times throughout a day to protect and cool his body.

Talents and Skills

1. Ambidextrous
2. Skilled at pitching even without his quirk
3. Agile on his feet that is somewhat hindered by his clumsiness
4. Heavy eater

Jefferson St. John

_{Height: 5'10" / 178 cm
Weight: 173 lbs / 78.5 kg}

---

---

Name: St. John, Jefferson
Age: 15
Gender: Male

Personality:

Living large and liking it that way, Jeff likely has no idea what’s going on. He’s brash and unfortunately honest, with little time for the minutiae of proper etiquette… largely because he can’t remember them. Regardless, in his mind an honest smile and a firm handshake tend to work well enough. Hopefully. On a daily basis, you’ll find him either studying or working in the training ring, though he has neglected work with his quirk in the past in favor of his martial pursuits. More than anything else, Jeff values fairness, and will happily refuse help from those around him if he thinks it evens up a challenge. This does not, however, apply to asking for directions or what particular kanji mean, as he is still a stranger in a strange land, a little stunned by the big city. Still, he’s in a new, exciting place and won’t be found without a smile on his face. Forgetful and exuberant, Jeff is going to wring every ounce of excitement he can out of life or die trying.

Background:

Brought into this world on a small farm in Illinois, Jefferson St. John was raised in an all-american family born and bred on apple pie and football. The third child of his parents, Jeff grew up with two older sisters and a single younger brother, appreciating the values of protecting those dear to him. His father a factory worker and his mother teaching English in the local high school, Jeff always admired those big city heroes who would travel the states protecting the weak, privately swearing to one day join them in their crusade.

Growing up in a small town, Jeff benefited from the miles around the farmland, still damn near wilderness. It was absolutely perfect for hunting season. Oftentimes on holidays and during the weekends, his mother would take the family on camping trips to hunt, trap, fish, and watch the stars away from the few lights of their hometown. To this day, he can still name all the constellations by heart.

While his mother understood the joy of nature, his father had raised him on the sport of his youth: boxing. At the age of eight, Jeff fell deeply in love with the feeling of concussions, and the rest was history. He progressed into wrestling and a few other martial arts as time went on, but his true love was always boxing. Still, disgusted by rise of Quirks in the modern ring revitalizing the sport, he turned to his friends and a few local aficionados to start a homegrown league of pure, unadulterated athletics.

Through a scheduling issue, he ended up in a little attended Japanese class during the beginning of his middle school days, and in the class learned of the coming Hands-On program. Without telling his parents or friends, he filed applications for grants and spoke to a talent scout, redoubling his efforts in sports and academics to earn the right to attend. To his surprise, they said his quirk had potential, and invited him in. After a terse conversation with his parents about honesty, he found himself heading off on a short plane ride to the big city to discover the next great adventure.

Quirk: Blackout

Jefferson has pitch black markings on his hands and feet that allow him to mark locations, objects, and people with "tags," imprints which emanate fields of darkness. Darkness spreads from a tag to fill a roughly 10-foot radius sphere for the duration. The darkness spreads around corners. The electromagnetic spectrum is absorbed by the darkness, meaning that it cannot be illuminated nor can it be seen through with infrared or ultraviolet light. Additionally, the sphere is much colder than the surrounding area, making thermal vision inside the sphere all but useless. The tags cease to emanate darkness roughly two minutes after being placed down.

The darkness emanates from the tag and if the tag is placed on a moving object, the tag moves with it. Completely covering the source of the darkness with an opaque object, such as a bowl or a hat, blocks the darkness. The physical tag remains after it ceases to emit the sphere.

Additionally, he possesses echolocation out to 100ft, enabling him to know what takes place inside the spheres.

Talents and Skills:

• Boxing: Not a prodigy but a natural talent working hard from the age of eight, he has made significant progress into studying the fine art of bludgeoning another man until he falls down.
• Wrestling: Born in the midwest and considering himself athletic, it would’ve been a sin not to participate.
• Martial Arts: Limited knowledge, poor execution. His heart belonged to boxing.
• Firearms: Not the best shot and not the worst, Jeff still has an unyielding enthusiasm when it comes to firearms, calling them the OTHER great American pastime.
• Bakes surprisingly well, but pie’s always better with others
• Braiding hair: His sisters made damn sure they taught him while he was still young and cute.

Shakti Sharma

Shakti also has a glowing golden halo hovering over his head. The angle it's at indicates his mood.

_{Height: 4'11"
Weight: 88lbs}

Name: Shakti Sharma
Gender: Male, believe it!
Age: 16

Personality:

Shakti is sweet, pleasant and gentle. He is an extrovert and loves people, approaching people randomly to strike up conversations. He can be uncomfortably forward and touchy-feely. Though he can be sensitive at times, for the most part, he's learned to shrug off aggression and criticism, choosing to focus on the good. He is motivated by a strong desire to experience new things and to be useful to others.

Background:

Shakti is an Indian-American born to hard-working, well-educated immigrant parents, who made enough to provide their son with a comfortable upbringing. He expressed a fluid gender identity at an early age, something which his parents allowed him to explore. Though he faced some antagonism, he had a strong support network from friends and family and was able to shoulder through the worst of the bullying. From his supporters, Shakti learned that heroes didn't have to have physical strength, and set his sights on becoming a unique kind of hero.

His parents knew he had a quirk when his halo suddenly appeared above his head when he was two years old, but couldn't figure out what it was. They knew that when their child kissed either of them, or the family cat, his halo would detach and create a small landmark. A few incidents and a bit of experimentation were required. The first being one time when Shakti's father had finished a particularly stressful day at work. While walking home, after reaching a certain range, his longing to return home sooner than his legs could carry him caused him to warp into Shakti's room suddenly. The second time had been when the family cat kept reappearing in Shakti's room as well. After that, they got the gist of how his power worked and, being the curious, objective types, set out to figure out the limits of Shakti's quirk.

Quirk:

Save Scumming - Shakti can erect a checkpoint at a fixed location, which allows himself and selected individuals to warp to the checkpoint.

Rules

• Shakti leaves a copy of his halo as a checkpoint at a location. The checkpoint has a 20 yard area of effect.
• The checkpoint is created when Shakti 'anoints' someone by kissing them on the forehead. The anointed becomes a 'party member' and has a halo marking them as such.
• Shakti can currently anoint a maximum of 3 party members, although each subsequent member must be anointed within the checkpoint's area of effect.
• Any party member can teleport back to the checkpoint after a five second channeling time and if they are within the checkpoint's area of effect. Though not necessary, it is easier to focus on the channel by pointing the index and middle finger at one's forehead. As party members move away from the area of effect, their halos dim. Once they leave the area, their halos vanish and they lose the 'anointed' status, and need to be reanointed in order to use the checkpoint.
• Shakti can also choose to teleport any party members within range back to the checkpoint, he also needs to channel to do this.
• As long as Shakti is within range of the checkpoint, he can teleport anywhere within the area of effect but still has to channel. If Shakti leaves the area of effect, the checkpoint collapses entirely.
• Shakti can erect a checkpoint twice per day, and the checkpoint lasts a maximum of 12 hours. When he erects a new checkpoint, he needs to re-annoint party members, and the number of 'lives' is refreshed.
• Teleports are limited to a fixed number of 'lives', currently five, which are shared between party members.

Talents and Skills:

Shakti is good at doing deft, detailed work with his hands and is a Gunpla hobbyist. Given that his parents have encouraged him to seek out learning opportunities, he's worked in a fancy bakery, and knows how to make delicate pastries. Among his many, exploratory experiences, Shakti has also been the drummer of a garage band with his friends. Shakti is also a casual gamer, which is why he has used gaming terminology do describe his unique quirk.

Background: A major Police family for many generations, The Demiana's have supported many of the Marines activities. The three eldest children, Jacob, Harley, and Jacklyn, were striving to become the best Police Officers in all the Nation! They were sent off to the most prominent schools that they could find! But not the little one, oh no. The father knew that the youngest was different from the rest and never acknowledged him. The boy saw that heroes were free to protect people however they want to! And with Quirks and heroes floating around, more inspiration have surged up! The boy knew that becoming a hero would make him FAMOUS! The problem is, even if he did, he'd still be a blight in his father's eye. So as he was prepped to become a Lawman, he decided to take a different path: The Heroes life! One filled with adventure! His father, now knowing his son's decision​, the Father turned his attention away from his son, never wanting to see him again.

But soon.... The father and boy then met each other's fates: The summoning of a hero.

One day, while going to the bank, a robbery starts up and three robbers showed up. The robbers all gathered up the hostages and threatened to shoot them all until Etrius' father decided to be a good Samaritan and tried to disarm a goon. Though it was valiant, the poor man got shot in the spine, taking away his mobility. Etrius charged the robbers for what happened to his father, but before they fired, a miracle happened: The Young man's body became more and more charged with energy! So when he decked one, the young man blasted him back with an energy bolt!! The other two gave up, now knowing that there is a freak amongst them. And while he was being treated as a hero by the town, he felt bad about his father's Condition. So from that moment on, he decided to train to become a hero!

Quirk: Energy Bursts

Etrius' Quirk is to both generate and Manipulate the plasma he generates within his body. As of now, all he can do is launch a simple energy bolt and attack with it inside a limb, but with time, he may be able to do much more! But...... This Quirks disadvantages makes it sorta dangerous to bad guys..... And allies. As Etrius doesn't know how to control how much ionized energy he generates, it could build up inside him and explode anything around him by 30 feet. So, he has to pace around to burn some of the excess energy. Also, the energy bolts may or may not go wild in his hands, possibly firing off at a random opponent.

Talents and Skills:
Reading people: Being raised around officers can actually be an advantage for a hero in training. Thanks to reading his siblings Police books, he can kinda tell when a person is hiding something.

Detective work: He can pick apart a crime scene that is up to one week old.

Writing Reports: Be it history, science, or a police file, this teen can write excellent reports like nobody's business.

Name: Sasha Novalin

Age: 27

Hero Name: Saturnia 'The Mach Valkyria'

Backstory

Sasha's story starts somewhere during her coming of age, she was a child of a mechanic and spent most of her childhood learning how to put stuff back together. When her quirk developed she used it mostly to weld plates together rather than finding another use for it.

She discovered the potency and potential of her quirk when she was speeding over a bridge on her motor cycle and the earthquake hit sending her of the side. Acting mostly out of reflex she let out her quirk full power and discovered the thrust was enough for her to fly with it.

She rose to hero with status helping people in distress in hard to reach places where flight were useful, and also helped to cut open cars or throuh steel to help free people that had been trapped.

She spent a few years working rogue before getting licensed, spending a small fortune on flight suits to support her abilities. Luckily by this time there was plenty of sponsorship available and a small team to help her reach a higher level.

She came into contact with Marcus a few years back, and have been working together with him since.

Quirk:Emmiter: Jet Ray.

The ability of jet ray is almost as simple as its name. Saturnia is able to Emmit jet rays from parts of her body up to a maximum distance of 5m excluding heat. She mostly use these for flight purposes emitting them from her feet to propelled herself into the air. Without her bodysuit however her speed is severely limited due to her body not being able to withstand the velocity of quicker flights, yet flight is but one of the uses her quirk has.

Other uses are as follow:
Torch: Saturnia is capable of creating small jet rays to not only light up small areas, but these are essentially capable of both cutting through anything that cannot stand the high concentrated heat of the jet ray, it can also be used to weld things together if necessary.

hero gear

Hero gear: Mecha Valkyria suit M:III

A custom design to tightly fit like a body suit, the MVS M:III is made of a very wind resistantant material specially designed to reduce the stress of higher speed movement on the user's body. It's custom fit for Saturnia and her quirk allowing her to safely reach Mach speed and beyond if necessary. It's semi shock absorbent and projectile resistant proving cover from your normal fire arms and flight hazards. It provides heat resistance in covered areas and have points where it can open up to let out jet rays to increase thrust power and efficiency.

Its the third redesign after Saturday crashed once during her youth ending up hospitalized for a few weeks and in recovery for a month.

Got shot down twice by villains and decided not to stay down the first time ending her up with a trauma of crashing for half a year after the event and several broken bones.

The third version got room for up to sixteen miniature rockets loaded onto the wings, allowing for precision shots to be taken at long range with a homing system. With police and military contacts, These rockets are meant for supportive purposes and can be loaded with tear gas, stun explosions etc.

It also got better boots and gloves to allow for more controlled during her jet ray output saving essential energy for longer flights or fights.

The Story

boring story do not read

Elpoy Diaz was born in some unidentified slum in the Filipino city of Manila. His father, Armando Diaz,
was a construction worker who lived on pan de sal and instant coffee. His mother, Victorina Diaz, was a housewife who looked after the house while his father would do his work. He lived a humble life, and he studied his way into high school.

Elpoy discovered his quirk at a young age. His father, who had a similar quirk, helped Elpoy develop his talent. Soon, Elpoy would help his father in construction work. He never thought of being a hero, since he did not want all the publicity that the actors and politicians would get. He wanted to become an engineer at first, so that he could design buildings and landmarks.

Elpoy's father soon found work in the the USA. He worked at a grocery store, and earned significantly more from his new job. Elpoy was pressured to get used to speaking the English language, but he got used to it. Elpoy lived a quiet life until one fateful day.

One day, Elpoy was bullied by a gang of teenage deliquents for having such a ridiculous accent. He got into a street fight, and he defeated the entire gang of unwary teenagers by storm. Some guy who worked for the academy noticed Elpoy's great talent. He introduced himself as Antonino De Jesus, a janitor at the facility. He referred Elpoy to a prestigious hero program located in New York City. Elpoy's parents were excited, since they were at the verge of escaping poverty. Elpoy was reluctantly sent to the academy at his parents' request.

Sure, he did not want all the publicity, but he swore that he would get his family out of poverty. From there, his journey started.

Quirk: "Structural Manipulation"
My own take on Edward Elric's ability. Ever heard of Fullmetal Alchemist?

When Elpoy comes into contact with a solid object, he may manipulate its structure. For example, he can cause a solid wall of concrete to grow spikes or shapeshift into the shape of a giraffe with much focus.

Elpoy does this simply by emitting some sort of vibrant energy in the solid object. The quirk may only be used within a circular area with a diameter of 10 meters, and transmutations must start at the point of contact. Another major drawback to the quirk is that solid objects are bound by the Law of Conservation of Mass, and Elpoy can not create things out of thin air. He can project walls out of the floor of a basketball court, but he cannot terraform the entire building without using an inhuman amount of effort. Still, Elpoy's quirk leaves lots of room for improvisation, and he can use it in many ways, whether he is in combat or not.

Talents and Skills

• Elpoy possesses high spatial intelligence. This helps him handle his ability with ease. It also gives him a good sense of direction.
• When Elpoy is faced with close-quarters combat, he resorts to an improvised version of Arnis.
• Elpoy has been hardened by poverty. He is spendthrifty, and he can endure hunger and exposure to the elements.
• Elpoy is talented at MOBA and FPS games.

Maksim Maciej Stoker

Appearance



Maksim boasts topaz eyes, verging on red but not quite as bright. He stands at 5'5, and never trims his nails.

Name:
Maksim Maciej Stoker
Gender:
Male
Age:
15
Personality:

Maksim rarely does anything with his full soul. He lives between present moments to get by. His life has been a series of half-assed attempts to live above average, but he's only good at being above average in his inability of seeing things through. His focus on mistakes and the negative has led him down many of the wrong paths in his short life - he never knew anyone that was positive about him, either. Any honesty left in him was eradicated by a cynicism of being, but never placing himself above anyone else. In fact, he thinks so lowly of himself and his own actions, it's impossible for anyone to like him. There's only one thing he feels passionate about - being a hero. But he doesn't even know what that means.

His demeanor could be seen as offensive, but he means little harm to anyone - but his lack of self belief and inability to trust himself can be worrisome. He isn't the kind to stutter and sweat from unease, but to remain steadfast in his decision to remove himself from responsibility. He's not used to being allowed to speak, so has no knowledge on persuasion or a good conversation.

Background:

Background

Maksim is a third generation immigrant from eastern Europe, but apart from his rather telling first name, there is little that gives that away. His accent is completely American, and he doesn't carry any of the traditions of his people. However, he isn't that patriotic either. Maksim's parents were both successful enterprise CEOs, who met in a business gala. His early childhood was fantastic, and the family seemed exempt from the oncoming Quirk phenomenon. Although they weren't outright attacked, nobody looked at them the same in the area. Maksim thought it was normal for people to dislike him and his family. His parents never made it obvious - they wanted him to discover these things by himself.

Their name wasn't originally Stoker - they were the Ljubavics. In fact, Maksim's parents were rather proud of their ancestry, and this often got them unwanted attention from a rather zealous neighbourhood. Things rapidly went downhill for the family, when their companies nosedived due to the political instability caused by the rise of quirks. Maksim and his family became proud to be quirkless, as those with quirks were seen as outcasts by the Stoker family. Delinquents of the human condition. In a hypocritical way, they treated people with quirks the same way they were treated by their neighbourhood for being Eastern European. The double standard never occurred to the young Maxim, who was complacent with the way he was treated by his peers; terribly.

His father and mother began drifting apart, one wanting reform and the other an uncompromising solidarity. They clashed and began to dispise each other, with Maxim being caught in the middle. He became ammunition for each side, often involved in arguments and disputes. Usually when he ran away, he was always dragged back. He stopped trying to run away altogether. Maksim's brother, a boy who was born with a quirk, was impressive but screamed uniqueness. His parents always viewed Maksim as their true successor, even if he was younger than his brother. The sibling had the incredible traits of wings and fire breath, but never got the chance to use them under his parent's roof. Before long, he took his wings and flew away, becoming a popular vigilante.

At school, a particular bully was getting the better of him. Mehmet, one of the few boys in Maksim's school to acquire a quirk, had the peculiar ability of sensing fear in a person's heart and freezing them if it was present. It only worked on the other kids, and what started as a joke became far more sinister. His posse used to pick on the smaller kids, including himself, freezing them and taking advantage of their defenselessness. Once again, Maksim's body wouldn't move. On one day, such alike the norm but somehow different, another boy intervened. He defended Maksim when nobody else would. Mehmet's quirk failed to work, but they attacked him anyway. Maksim wanted to help him, but instead became the next victim. They were more vicious this time. They had something to prove. In the flurry of attacks, he bit down on his tongue by accident. Inside, the blood spewed out, and he tasted his own blood for the first time.

It was completely tasteless. Like water, but less nutritious. He felt brave. Mehmet's quirk no longer worked on him. He was no longer afraid.

When Maksim shouted, he felt like his voice shattered the world. It was an ordinary yell, but the boys were too put off by Maksim's vigour to pick on him again. It should have been a heroic moment, but the gaze of Mehmet never left him.

His mother, the winner of his custody, was originally appalled by the idea of her son having a quirk, and Maksim realised he was treated the same way as his father. His mother changed their name to Stoker in spite of his father. He felt alienated in his own house, deciding that he didn't need to be a hero. He wasn't brave, he wasn't intelligent, and didn't respect himself enough to improve his ways. He walked without moving for the rest of his childhood. One moment changed it all, on his way home from school. A small time villain ran into him and didn't want any witnesses. The criminal was quirkless, but he still had a knife. Once again, Maksim froze. Then his brother saved his life.

Like a dragon from the sky, he soared down and apprehended him. The criminal still had another knife under his jacket; Maksim knew this, but couldn't open his mouth. The street was set alight. The boy stood there, too afraid to help or run away, the world burning around him. His brother saved the day, looking down on Maksim like a stranger. It should have been a moment of reunion, but Maksim was less than happy to see someone do so well with his quirk, while he had done nothing with his.

After that day, Maksim felt what pain was like. The pain of doing nothing. His mother hit him that day, and the blood tasted bitter. But his brother showed him what he could become. He was going to protect everyone that needed protecting, quirkless or not, with whatever power he had. Disobeying his mother, avenging his brother, he set off to become a hero.

Quirk:

Maksim's power is locked behind a prison of his own blood. When a part of his body bleeds, it bleeds rapidly. He can become light headed quickly, but by tasting his own blood, a peculiar thing happens. The part of his body bleeding becomes much more powerful. The first instance of this was his tongue, which could create a small breeze with him speaking, but Maksim has yet to experiment with much else. Superhuman strength and ability is given to the part of the body that bleeds once tasted - his arms can become that of a heavy weight boxers, his legs that of a kangaroo's, but this power is tied to how much blood he can drink. With a drop, his power is much less, but the more he tastes the stronger he becomes. His limits are dependent on how long he can stay conscious - although he gets stronger the more he bleeds, he also becomes less accurate. The bigger the wound, too, affects the area of the muscle enhanced, but the pain to open one would be immense. Theoretically, bleeding his eyeball could enhance his vision, but that's not on Maksim's to-do list.

Talents and Skills:

Maksim can speak a fair amount of Romanian, and has a robust knowledge of European history.
Through his inability to move, Maksim is a professional at being unnoticed. He can make himself appear like a statue, unless someone is actively looking for him.
The boy knows how to handle his money, and often plays the stock market for extra cash. This was a skill passed on by his parents, and he knows a bit too much about the economy, too.
Finally, he understands how people feel most of the time. He always assures himself that the person he's talking to is better than he,
which allows him to empathize better, but not always defend himself.

Malcolm Mactavish

_{Height: 8'6
Weight: 230 lbs}

---

---

Name: Mactavish, Malcolm
Age: 15
Gender: Male

Personality:

Malcolm is a friendly giant. Often times he can easily approach new people and talk to them as if they've had a long history together. He has a very friendly demeanor, despite his gargantuan size. Malcolm is air-headed and will almost always say what's on his mind without regard for other peoples feelings, not out of spite, but out of ignorance. Malcolm is also, to put it bluntly, is lazy. He always love helping people, but he also enjoys sleeping just as much. One of his favourite things to do is just lounging around doing nothing in particular. Few things match his love of laziness, and most of the time he only does things he enjoys (which just so happens to be helping people). Malcolm personality changes wildly when competition is involved. His laid back attitude vanishes and a new fiery one takes it's place.
Background:

Malcolm's father is a Scottish immigrant to America. While living in Washington, D.C Malcolm's father fell in love with Malcolm's mother. It was a whirlwind romance which ultimately ending with Malcolm's mother getting pregnant. Feeling a sense of duty Malcolm's father married her on the spot. This child was not Malcolm, it was his brother, Bryce. Malcolm wouldn't come for another 4 years later. His mother however, would pass away due to complications in childbirth. This drove a wedge between Malcolm and Bryce, as Bryce with his child-like mind blamed Malcolm.
Fast-forward 4 years and Malcolm is a lanky child, easily towering over all the kids his age. Malcolm's father let him get a cat at a young age who he loved dearly, and most of the time the cat did not enjoy being smothered by an oversized child. This led to the cat to run away from the young Malcolm quite a bit. One of the times the cat climbed up a tree, too high for Malcolm to reach. Not wanting to bother his brother or father tried jumping for the cat but couldn't reach, until his calve coiled up and released letting Malcolm spring up to capture the cat.
This quirk changed Malcolm's life entirely. From then on his father had huge expectation for his son, expecting him to become a hero. His fathers line of thinking boiled down to, this is a gift and we must not squander it. His father poured a lot of time and energy into crafting Malcolm to become a hero, getting him a tutor, getting martial arts lessons, the whole ten yards. This however, went to further drive a wedge between Bryce and Malcolm. Bryce being quirkless, received very little attention from their father. Internal conflict brewed inside of Malcolm, getting pressure from his father while receiving verbal lashes from his brother. Led to Malcolm spending as much time as he could away from his family. Either hanging out with friends, playing basketball or just really anything else.
Which brings us to now. Malcolm's father enters him into a hero apprentice program. This is easily one of the best things to happen to Malcolm. Getting to be away from his family and getting his dad get off his back. What more could he ask for?

Quirk:

Spring-

Malcolm has the ability to coil the muscles in his limbs, and then release all the built up energy similar to a spring. He also has extremely long arms and legs which is what gives him colossal stature. This allows Malcolm to jump great heights and hit like a truck. He however and rip and tear his muscles easily, especially if he coils too much or uses the ability frequently.

Talents and Skills:

• Despite his lanky appearance he is surprisingly graceful and balanced. This is through his training in Taekwondo. While no black belt he is proficient in it.
• Not surprisingly he is great at basketball. His insane height mixed with his quirk lets him easily dunk over and defend just about anyone.
• Malcolm is a talented artist. Not good enough to make a career or anything, just good enough to impress the average person. He typically likes to draw scenic landscapes.
