@ScreenAcne, no problem, your first post was fine.

Komei Academy (My Hero Academia)

@pkken, just realized the CS section said "at least two talents" instead of "at most", sorry I didn't see that at first. Added another talent to my Character Sheet, nothing too big, just thought you should be aware of the change.

The restless creature turned around in it's container as it spat back at the two's conversation, surprisingly able to construct coherent sentences, if only for a time. This legitimately spooked the large bionic. Bringing himself closer to Xander so he could continue the conversation in whispers, Magnus hoped the giant bug didn't have advanced hearing as well.

"They do not supply weapons, yet, there are many ways to get one. Tearing off a person's arm is a popular strategy", continued the Steel Demon. He felt compelled to help the defenseless human, most likely put in here only to die because of his master's sick sense of revenge. Unfairness was one of the only things that this terrible slave truly abhorred.

"And do remember, this insect right here only has chitin, so he's most likely the easiest target", he continued. "But be careful...", the metal behemoth continued to advise, "He just told you about poison". This fact would also prove a problem for Magnus, his whole body essentially an extended circulatory system. The large, robed man in the center started to wind down his useless chattering, and to the gladiator's dismay, the traditional trumpet anthem of Merkadian pit-fighting started. At most, they had 30 seconds until death reined.

My Character

Aki Ogawa

(to-be) Alias: Nyx

Appearance

(to-be) Costume: A smart, red overcoat positioned over his school-wear and the velvet mask to match, both sewn together by his loving mother. Accents of black and white patterns dot and line both articles of clothing, black leather boots and gloves are attached to enhance the get-up even more. It's much like a Zoot Suit in it's extravagance.
_{"I think mom went a little overboard..."}

Gender: Male
Age: 14
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 154 lbs.

Personality: Usually seen wearing a bored face stuffed into a history novel, Aki is a bookworm that is interested by nothing more than new experiences. A lover of exotic literature, knowledge, and of course, powers, Aki gets engrossed in any new information you'll give him... For a time (His attention-span is not the best). Socially, he's quite open and ready to make connections unless you find him nuzzled in a book already. He is an intellectual, veering away from street smarts as humanly possible, but knows Pi to the 70th place. He also strays away from being a proud, rambunctious, or cynical person, but can be hypnotized by interesting new material and people: a core reason why he came to Komei Academy.

Background: Blessed with a rich, non-enhanced family and now a quirk, Aki has had the world open to him since birth. Able to engulf all the information and experiences he wanted as a child, he started to grow into boredom and solitude as an adolescent due to a new-found staleness in his life, unique items becoming obsolete in his privileged eyes. For a few long extensions of time, Aki preferred literature over human interaction and was scarcely seen. Seeing this combined with the strange new supernatural powers that now surrounded their child, Aki's parents resolved to send their child to Komei Academy in order to finally give him a taste of the real world, as well as cultivate his new-found gifts. They chose this academy for him knowing it was a prestigious center of education, as well as it's close proximity to their home in Musutafu. Aki also saw this as an opportunity, one to develop a sense of profession and heroism of sorts, something to provide a purpose to his life that money could never buy. Now, if only he'd get his head out of a book and learn something there...

Quirk: Multi-color Armor Production
Name: Shell Coating
Classification: Transformation
Description: Aki is able to produce a body-wide, crackling neon barrier around himself for as long as he is not exhausted. The barrier not only protects Aki from most physical battering, but also ensures the stabilization of his body. As long as Aki is standing or sitting on a flat, solid surface he is unable to be punched, thrown, or kicked down. Yet, this ability only works when Aki is not exhausted, and thus, is not eternal. The more damage, battering, and attacks Aki's barrier takes, the more exhausted he becomes.

Talents:

• Surprisingly, this reclusive bookworm is a fantastic cook. He has read a variety of cookbooks and is experienced in traditional Italian, Japanese, English, and middle-eastern cuisine.
• Aki is also talented artistically, having practiced his drawing and painting talents throughout his early childhood. He can craft drawings and designs much like that of Leonardo da Vinci's anatomy sketches due to his self-study in traditional art, but has trouble coming-up with purely original concepts. Thus, he commonly enjoys to depict the world or people he sees around him.
• As said, Aki is very skilled academically, and thus has a great memory and a way with words.

Just gonna plop this down right here.

Quirk:
Name: Heat Manipulator or Pyrokensis
Classification: Emitter
Description: Aki is able to cause nearby inanimate objects to heat up to a reasonably hot temperature. He is able to melt ice cubes, heat metal bars, shatter glass, make air hot, etc. Through this ability, he is able to make certain objects catch flame. Aki is unable to manipulate the heat of living objects. As well, Aki can be harmed by the surfaces he heats. This quirk is also subject to muscle exhaustion. Larger objects, such as expanses of metal floors, big vats of water, etc., take Aki a grand amount of concentration to heat.

Talents:

• Surprisingly, this reclusive bookworm is a fantastic cook. It only helps that his abilities are suited for such a hobby. He has read a variety of cookbooks and is experienced in Italian, Japanese, English, and middle-eastern cuisine.
• As said, Aki is very skilled academically, and thus has a great memory.

N.E.R.O.N

Assignment: Civilian relief efforts Interacting with @king Tai

---

The man, battered and bruised from the robot's attempts to subdue him, laid bleeding on the ground beside the woman who seemed to be more-or-less in the same condition. Putting his bloodied shield down beside the young female, N.E.R.O.N knelt down to aid the woman, dispensing a medical pack and bandaging her prominent open wounds. "Are you alright ma'am?", questioned the worried automaton. The woman's blood-shot eyes opened only slightly in response to this query, only to shoot wide and alert due to the bizarre site in front of her. She seemed to lack words for the 6' robotics unit, silently voicing a sense of panic with her sole facial expression. "I am not here to harm you, your assaulter has been subdued, and you are safe", N.E.R.O.N continued, bandaging the woman's battered arm as she simply nodded into oblivion. As the android tied off the end of the surgical tape and cloth, he was stopped mid-cut by Blaque's assembling call. "Perhaps," N.E.R.O.N responded, "please give me a second to assess my current circumstance, sir"

>Women injured. Physical injuries attended to. Mental injuries? Unknown.

The robot turned back to the woman. "Are you able to speak? are you ok?", the hunk of metal asked, unsure if really anyone would give a large, strange robot an answer. Yet, to N.E.R.O.N's automated suprise, the girl squeezed out a weak "y-yes".

>Mental injuries? No. Will subject be taken care of after on-site care? Unknown.

"Do you happen to have close-by family?", proceeded the kneeling machine.

"Y-yeah"

>outside of site care confirmed. Subject: healthy.

"Then please go to them", it finished, helping the girl up and supplying her with the rest of the medical pack. In an instant she ran away, obviously spooked by the pure absurdity and terror of her evening. This was the 5th female the automated medic had helped today, truly a sad thing when you realize they were all in the same neighborhood. Anyways, now tasked with mending the senseless criminal, N.E.R.O.N commented back to his master. "I have another subject to attend to, but I am not too far away. I will be able to appear in a moment", the construction responded, proceeding to dispense his second medical pack to provide the unconscious gangster aid. Luckily for this comatose man, N.E.R.O.N was never programmed with any sense of revenge.

Tooth and Claw (Sci-Fi Pit Fighting and Societal War for Good Measure)[High Casual]

Tooth and Claw

The beating sun baked the arena, it's heat glowing off of the coarse grains of sand as droves after droves of people lined the elevated seating arrangements of the colosseum. Built to resemble the great monoliths of old, this particular arena was a site of grandeur and hardships, a gritty scene that held the crowd's attention indefinitely with it's romanticization of honorable battle. The spectators were especially engrossed in uncleaned bloodstains kept at the bottom of the pit, women and their children pointing at the caked-on mess and laughing. Electronic fans were positioned throughout the stadium to give relief to the heated attendants, for many people had come to see this interesting fight. It was rumored that the fight was to be a larger free-for-all, and that four houses had agreed to supply their gladiators. Truly, it was rare to see that many houses grouping up with that many brawlers. Surely this would be a long and intriguing deathmatch, a main event that could easily sate the most bloodthirsty of Merkadia's citizens. And speaking of the main event, here it came!

The houses, flying their respective colors proud and high, marched around the bottom of the colliseum to a grand fanfare. Confetti was flown and drums were beat as a parade of Merkadian nationalism pleased the now cheering crowd. Trumpets were blared ever louder as each autocratic group had it's turn to visually boast to the above crowd. The gladiators were shown off most prominently, though, each one getting to glimpse one-another as they stood silently in lines facing the masses, allowing the excited citizens time to mentally graded each synthetic slave's physique for themselves. Magnus, one of these standing behemoths in the Scalpaleon line-up, heard the slight shouting of his stage name 'Steel demon', but brushed such praise off. The crowd also yelled names like "Skitter", "Tooth-Taker", etc., very foreign names that seemed to indicate a more diverse crowd than usual. Yet, the diversity did not stop there, as creatures that were only fragments of a past humanoid started to file in. For once, he was thankful for a house that merely indulged in metal-grafted armor. Bloated monstrosities that seemed to be made from composted flesh, followed by a house that provided only one, ragged gladiator with skin that slipped, it was all especially strange. Magnus definently was not in the least excited to fight with these changed... beasts. Luckily, to the metal man's surprise, a lone human, un-modified, presented himself for the barbaric pit fighting in the stead of a rather militaristic house. The man certainly seemed a brave fellow, many men would have offed themselves before entering this hell hole. As the celebrations wiled down, and the gladiators were put into their waiting cages (large, bared boxes hanging from the sides of the arena), the house officials started their ascension to their seats of honor in the spectator seats above. A large, fat-man clothed in robes entered the ring to specify the rules of pit-fighting and the kind of free-for-all situation that the slaves would be combating in. None of this was new to the steel veteran, and thus, he simply looked around to take a second gander of the types he was to battle.

Low-and-behold, there sat the human, looking pathetic as he diddled about with the bars of his enclosure. Surrounded by only this man, a large insect menace, and the strange-skinned man from before, Magnus decided that perhaps the unmodified male was the only lingual one out of the bunch. As the large man in the center of the pit continued his speech on necessary regulations, those of which were painfully drawn-out and would not be followed anyways, Magnus proposed his spare-time to converse with this only somewhat distressed man.

"You are already at a disadvantage physically, thus, I will try not to kill you. But I must ask: How did you convince your master to not bio-engineer you?"
