My Hero Academia: Another Story

Dean cast his mind back to earlier that day.

It would be perfectly accurate to say that the bank was in utter chaos. A cramped lobby filled with a swarm of starlings, which pecked and scratched at both the staff and the unfortunate customers who just happened to be using the bank at that very moment. That was, of course, a distraction, as the real crime was happening at the desk, where young bank teller had a raven on her shoulder, the knife on its talons pressed nervously close to her throat. Dean slid a piece of paper across the desk to her, after he checked the details through the eyepiece of his mask. He politely requested a full withdrawal, and without much option, the teller gathered up some staff and returned with the money that Dean sought.

This was a rather personal crime - he had spent a few weeks tracking down the bank that contained a great deal of his parent's money. They had moved overseas, but left some money in San Francisco in their haste. Money that was rightfully his. Once the crime was done, the raven fluttered back onto his shoulder, and he bid the staff good day, before leaving. The starling swarm would vacate themselves from the bank soon enough too. Certainly a successful crime, and perhaps foreboding considering the invite in his manor that he would end up returning to.

The crowded bank was certainly a far cry away from where Dean was now, walking through the dimly let empty halls.

The invitation had come as a shock. He didn't think villains were great enough in number in San Francisco for their to be any kind of league - but it was certainly a welcome surprise. More people that shared his beliefs? You could absolutely count Dean in for that. But he was wary - this sort of thing could easily be a trap - which was why he didn't come alone, a raven sitting atop his shoulder as a companion. Just in case things went south. And he could feel that Alcatraz was crawling with birds anyway, mainly seagulls. So he certainly had a good platform to fight from if this was something more sinister.

He was fully kitted out in his villain outfit for this - top hat included. One has to make a good impression, he reasoned, certainly if he was amongst his own kind. Alcatraz was definitely an interesting choice for this meeting of the bad guys, and as he turned a corner he looked at the wires converging up ahead, as he noticed they went into a door which was shadowed with darkness. Dean looked up at his raven, deciding safe was better than sorry. The bird taking on his eyes and ears, it flew into the dark room, landing on the table, and looked around.

Dean could spot three people, all women. Definitely no police, and they definitely did not look like heroes. It seemed legitimate enough, he guessed. The raven flew back out and Dean regained control of his senses, before walking inside. His eyes were immediately drawn to the stack of papers on the table, and his face on one near the top. That came along with a picture of him in his villain outfit, and of his manor. He picked up the paper and sighed, before reaching back and taking off his mask. He set it down on the table, pulling out a chair, his somewhat thin yet also somewhat handsome face now on show.

He looked around again for a moment before speaking.

"Well, I'm certainly glad to see this appears to be legitimate. Can we expect anymore?"

My Hero Academia: Another Story

Dean/Corvus

Appearance:

Dean

Dean is notably tall and gangly in frame standing at 6'6, although he manages to carry himself with arrogant grace (heavily practiced as a teenager) as opposed to an awkward hunched gait. Obsessively formal, he can usually be found in any number of expensive suits, and this carries over to his villain costume.

The costume consists of a nice grey suit, white feathers extending like collars from the ends of the sleeves, and like a ruffel around the neck. As to be expected with a villain, there is a mask involved - his is black and elongated with tinted eyepieces, resembling the face of a raven. It does not cover his hair. He may also complete the whole ensemble with a top hat - if he wants to seem particularly memorable.

Corvus

Name: Dean Porter Allen

Age: 24

Gender: Male

---------------------------

Villain Name: Corvus - perhaps inappropriate considering it is not just crows and ravens that he can manipulate, but to him it sounded like the best name, the one that filled him with the most arrogance while speaking it out loud.

Quirk Name: Avian Allies

Quirk Type: Emitter

Quirk Description: Dean can emit waves at a certain frequency from his brain which only affect birds. These waves then suspend the birds' autonomy and allows him to take control of their actions, guiding them to attack, to distract, or if there are enough, into large swarms.

There's also a secondary aspect which allows him to see through the eyes of a bird he is controlling if he desires to do so, as well as being able to hear. However, when doing this he loses sight or hearing in his own body, which can provide a massive weakness.

Dean's range of which he can use this quirk safely is a radius of around the length of a typical NFL field, so around 90-100 metres. Any more and there can be serious side effects - such as splitting headaches, nosebleeds, dizziness and similar conditions. This range has been expanded with practice, but as of now that's the maximum he can go without seriously damaging himself.

Inventory & Possessions: -Dean took over his parent's house a long time ago. A fairly sized estate, it allows him to use it as a base of operations - even if does have to keep a low profile there as officially, the property is abandoned
-Dean has a collection of 15 ravens located at his manor. As they have been exposed to him for so long they are much easier to control, and so are the most commonly used in his criminal activities - a private gang, if you will. He will usually tie some form of razor or dagger to their talons before he takes them our for use.
-A large collection of formal suits and clothes. Most of them are robbed, the others either bought or inherited. This includes his self fashioned villain costume.
-A surprising lack of money for someone who tries gives off a veneer of being wealthy - most of it was taken or destroyed in the conflict with his parents.

Sample Post: When a British car tycoon decides to upend from his busy London life and marry an similarly wealthy American woman from Northern California, the child of that circumstance is likely to grow up privileged. Such is exactly what happened with Dean. From an early age he was implicitly encouraged to look down on those who were less fortunate than he was, both by his peers and his family. Attending an extremely exclusive boarding school with an unhealthy obsession with manners and formality didn't help.

The manifestation of quirks was an exciting time for the children of that school. While his was not necessarily powerful, he could easily impress his peers with pigeons doing pirouettes in the air and sparrows flying into the messy hair of a girl who was picked on simply because she was slightly poorer than the children around her. Dean's prejudiced attitudes were firmly cemented here. Even when the attitudes of his peers and friends became more progressive, he stood firm, trying to lead the younger students into his ideology instead.

It was his parents change in attitude that had the largest toll, however, and when it became fashionable to be charitable, Mr and Mrs Allen followed suit. They began to donate sums of their money to charity, which drove Dean up the wall to no end. However, it was their decision to move him to a certain school which turned everything to fire. That school was, of course, UJ. As he was forced into the hero course, saw things that disgusted him - in his view, a celebration of mediocrity, a complete lack of any manners or formality, and above all, encouragement to aid the inferior in being inferior. He was felt that he was marked as the "rich boy" and made into a social pariah, in his view because of jealousy - but it was because of he would launch into outspoken scathing insults to most everyone he met. It's an understatement to say he did not do very well on any of the courses at UJ.

Soon enough, constant niggling clashes with his parents boiled over. He was 18. Of course, he wanted to go to only the most prestigious university. But his parents didn’t want him to - that wasn't charitable. They wanted him to be a hero, to keep trying. As the fight continued, Dean demanded that they leave. This was his house now. They didn't deserve it. His parents never used their quirks very often, and a knifed talon to the neck can be persuasive. They left, but in a fit of petty rage, they took half the money from the safe and burned the rest. This sealed Dean's disillusionment with the system. Those who did not respect their superiority or inferiority did not deserve anything but retribution.

Heroes of course represented the very opposite of this concept. Helping people who could not help themselves. The superior negating their strength by assisting the inferior. Dean left his house for a while and travelled around the country, watching various heroes at work and conversing with other villains. By the time that he had returned to back to his abandoned manor in San Francisco, with 7 new ravens on his person, there was no going back. And to his local branch of the League of Villains he went.

There are further limitations which can affect Dean's usage of his quirk. Mainly, as it comes from the brain, overuse can cause headaches - and in some cases, Dean has found himself experiencing a nosebleed if he tries to go for too long or expand his range too far, causing him to stop quickly in fear. However, if working with only a few birds then these side affects are rarely present.

My Not so Heroic Academia a.k.a. Truly Villainous

Vitaliy

Name: Vitaliy Takanashi - "Entomos"

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Appearance:

My Hider

Personality: Vitaliy is exceedingly vain and incredibly arrogant. He views himself with complete and pure pride. He is fond of running his mouth about those around him, easily turning cruel and vindictive if he spots a mental weak spot which he feels he can exploit. Building on this, he is very easy to anger, the smallest slight against him perceived as an attack on his entire being. He is extremely committed to a crime once he decides to carry it out, and derives great pleasure from its completion. He doesn't exactly gain satisfaction from causing people pain directly, but he delights in leaving mental scars, people talking about him after the act.

Background: Vitaliy is half Japanese and half Ukrainian. His father was a minor Japanese bureaucrat, who met his mother while accompanying a Japanese minister on a diplomatic trip to Kiev. His father eventually moved to the city to be with his mother, and Vitaliy spent the formative years of his childhood in an elegant apartment overlooking a park in Kiev's city center. Certainly a privileged upbringing, with parents who consistently doted on him and provided him with only the best.

His quirk manifested fairly early on, and he immediately found a penchant for mischief, using it to pull pranks, some of which were decidedly cruel - a particularly large cockroach shooting up the neck of a particularly squeamish girl, burrowing itself into her frizzy hair. Vitaliy adored the feeling of his classmates looking at him with rage or fear whenever he stepped onto the playground. However, soon others quirks began to manifest and he found himself needing more and more extreme material each time.

This happened to coincide with the breaking point of his parents marriage issues - which culminated in a divorce, and his father whisking him away to Japan. Life here was not so privileged, as his father had quit his bureaucrat role in order to move to Ukraine in the first place. Vitaliy resented his father for pulling him out of his privileged life. He began to fall in with the wrong sorts of people, as his quirk grew in strength as he got older.

The first time a crime he committed made the local news, Vitaliy was positively thrilled. He began to try and up his game, to experience that feeling again. He left home after a heated argument with his father, where calling the police was used as a threat. Vitaliy never saw his father again after that, and he didn't really care. He used his quirk to steal things to make himself appear privileged, selling things he stole on the black market. He became faux-wealthy eventually.

He soon turned his attention back to crime, and has been committing a spree of random crimes across his area in order to try and stamp his mark and his legacy on it.

Aspiration: Vitaliy has one clear goal - recognition. He wants to leave a legacy, for his crimes to embed themselves in the public conscious, where they will never be forgotten. He wants his name plasted throughout the media, people to talk about him for years to come. Whether that's through dismantling the system, or burning out in a truly horrific or memorable crime doesn't really matter.

Strength & Weakness: Strengths:
-Thanks to his privileged upbringing with a fine education, Vitaliy is a quick learner and a very adept criminal mind
-His quirk can provide extremely effective distractions or be very dangerous in its own right, depending on the species used
-His commitment to criminal acts, and his capacity for sheer malice mean that very few acts turn out as failures - so far.

Weaknesses
-As his quirk never really called for it, Vitaliy is not at all adept at hand to hand combat or battles of pure strength
-His quick to anger nature and vanity can lead to instability and infighting if somebody slights him
-As he gained his moderate wealth himself, he has a lack of connections to criminal underworlds, having totally broken ties with his old gangs

Quirk: Volukinesis - Vitaliy has the ability to control insects. He can make them form into great swarms, them becoming completely under his control as a collective. It is important to note that this power only applies to insects - not arachnids like spiders, or millipedes or centipedes etc.

Skills/Talents:
-Vitaliy is an extremely adept problem solver, easily being able to think outside of the box
-He can speak 4 languages - Ukrainian, Japanese Russian and English, in descending order of fluency - although Ukrainian and Japanese are virtually at the same level
-He is a fair shot, having taken firearm classes in his youth

Inventory: His apartment a lot of things. Perhaps the most relevant are:
-His villain outfit - a modified formal suit with insectoid legs and other features creepily worked into the design
-A small collection of some very dangerous insects, which serve as a form of home energy defence system
-A modest collection of firearms
