Yeah I was just thinking since we've at least got two 17 year olds whose only option is Junior I don't think @Plank Sinatra, @Krayzikk, or myself would mind heading up the seniors. Otherwise we'll have at least 6 Juniors right out of the gate. this keeps that number much more even at 5 - 4 - 4 - 3

Hyped as hell about this new post man! A big thing though, now that two more 17 year olds (and one more) have just been added I think it's safe to make them all seniors/in the same class.

Edit: I've been ninja'd it seems.

I analyzed the two CSes in question and I think that they are actually very different. Here's my general analysis:

1. The general weakness Matsuri deals with is the stop. She has listed limits of durability, turning and environment (the general is moving faster and is harder to react limitation) whereas Kazu’s are: Speed limit (she can only go as fast as she can safely move without hurting herself), Breakdown – her muscles and bones with fracture and tear the more she uses her quirk, durability, and her inability to control how fast she is going when dropping her weights.

2. Breakdown of differences: One of Kazu’s strengths is actually one of Matsuri’s weaknesses. Kazu is able to process stimuli far faster than non-speedsters where this is one of Matsuri’s largest weaknesses.

3. Kazu uses weights for extreme resistance when she is running and a way to ‘break her limit’ by taking them off. This is a key difference to how Matsuri functions mainly due to the fact that Matsuri is more focused on a burst of speed whereas Kazu is focused on maintaining a slower more constant speed, thus the need to process stimuli faster and weight to keep her going slower (on a super speed level of course).

4. Matsuri’s techniques mainly revolve around using her quirk in order to perform a superhuman attack. This is very different from any of Kazu’s skills in which she typically speaking uses normal movements that are greatly enhanced because she is moving at super speed. Kazu also has fewer named moves and is more focused, once more, on her consistency as a speedster instead of a one powerful shot archetype that Matsuri clearly falls under.

5. Both go into great detail about how their quirk can get them into trouble, however Matsuri seems to be unable to be ripped apart simply by her own speed and strength. Whereas this is a constant wall that Kazu has in front of her. This may not seem important, but it allows them to write how they are using their abilities very differently, it also allows them to specify in complete different strengths and overall have very varied writing.

All in all, while yes they are both speedsters – the way they use their abilities are completely different, as are 95% of their strengths, weaknesses, skills and techniques. I’d argue they’re very different under analysis as too will be their writing in application. Personally, I know we're getting a ton of applications so I think two very different uses of super speed isn't the worst offence, given the fact that it's such an incredibly popular power/quirk and I would hate for either writer to have to go back and edit their entire CS.

Oh it just usually seems like conventional gunfire is wholly inefficiant against Grimm. But thinking back on it Coco's chain gun does seem to make short work of a nevermore. Manticore does seem to be a class above though so i dunno.

Namari glanced up as a boy approached her, he had a somewhat sullen look in his eyes, then again it was rather early.

“Oh of cou-“ She began, but then someone from behind her piped up. She spoke half-heartedly with a spring in her voice. She spoke of improper behavior asking the boy to just go around instead. Namari brought a hand up to about her chin’s height and giggled a little waving it back and forth.

“Not necessary, allow me.” She said with a small smile, raising up and out of her seat and taking a step backwards. Carefully avoiding anything in order to allow the boy to make his way past her. Once he would pass her by she would sit back down in her seat and throw her feet up on the chair in front of her, slightly indenting it.

“Oh fiddleshits.” She said quickly leaning forward attempting, poorly, to fix the indentation in the chair. She looked around laughing nervously rubbing the back of her neck. “That may have been a bit of a mistake.” Namari gave the boy beside and the girl behind her a small shrug and slumped back into the chair. She resigned herself to her fate as chair murderer and decided to wait for the announcements to begin – whenever that would be. Her feet rested underneath the chair that she had previously dented. She quickly unhitched her water bottle and finished the water she had left.

She glanced backwards at the door reluctantly to presumably where some water fountain would be. But she ended up making eye contact with Natsuki.

“I’m Namari, Namari Sume – it’s nice to meetcha all.” She gave a small nod to the two who had spoen up before going back to twiddling her thumbs waiting for the presentation to begin.

@Krayzikk

I gotta give this one to the manticore - I doubt the gun could kill the manticore.

@Pacifista

I get that but the numbers are already really skewed. So maybe there's a third solution? Just evening it out somehow?

So far we have:

14: 2
15: 2
16: 5
17: 3

So maybe a different statistic to separate classes by? Perhaps a Qurik-based one or some other metric? Because if we leave it by age most people have one or two people to wait on and one group will have four +

Honestly, I have to agree with that one. You could end up with classes with 2-3 PC.

Namari woke up, her eyes slowly opening as a groan escaped her mouth. The sheets of her bed were slightly coming off the edge of her bed. She grumbled shutting her eyes hard and pulling the sheet around her, completely snapping it off the bed frame and it covered her. A bird chirped quietly to its fellow animals.

“You gosh darned cunt.” Namari said, throwing a pillow at the bird through the open window, her mouth moving autonomously as she tried to force herself back to sleep.

“My goodness Namari, that was just awful.” Her mom said from just outside her now open door. Namari thought about smacking herself in the face but decided that the most positive route from this point forward was to simply get up and over it. Namari was done with her shower after a few minutes and stopped into the kitchen to grab a bagel. Her dad was off at work but her mum was sitting at the table. After spreading a bit of butter on her bagel.

After changing into some of her typical workout gear Namari waved goodbye to her mother on the way out the door. It was her first day at Brave High. She made sure to stop by a local diner and grab a couple slices of toast with Jam. She walked through the streets on her way to school. The girl fished into her back pocket and pulled out the acceptance letter. She examined it with brief pause. She was pretty sure there were some quite strong quirks out there, she was just… Heavy.

Of course heavy legs can mean a lot, but it wasn’t exactly manipulating time and space or some kind of cosmic ability. Not that she had ever met or heard of someone with one such ability. But who knows - with a school meant to teach people how to perfect they’re abilities. She was sure she would meet tons of people with more control and strength than her. That would usually set someone off, get them feeling either pumped up or stressed out, but Namari found herself sort of – okay with it. Typically speaking the strongest had decisions to make, people who would look up to them.

It was comforting being towards the bottom for her. No one would bother her there.

She approached the school hesitantly before striding in. She found herself in a foyer-esque area as she scarfed down the last of her toast and jam, licking her fingers in delight. She unhitched the water bottle from her belt loops and took a swig to wash everything down. She decided to go find a seat in the auditorium before she missed anything.

Upon approaching the auditorium she watched as a girl pushed another student down in order to get past them. Namari looked at the ceiling and cursed herself for what was about to happen as she approached the fallen student and offered them a hand up. Pulling them up with her sturdy balance she gave them a pat on the shoulder and told them to keep their head down on the first day. With a small, but largely apathetic smile she continued to move forward giving an exaggerated solute to the student not waiting for a response.

She took a seat in the left-most section and began to literally twiddle her thumbs, waiting for the show to get on the road. She unhitched her water bottle once more and began to gulp down some more water. She looked around at the people surrounding her. Quite a few seemed to be pretty excited, she wondered why for a moment before reminding herself that – of course for most people this was a goal they had worked towards for large parts of their lives.

Here she was. Riding the coattails of her natural strength. They would mostly come to despise her.

@Sho Minazuki

Hey, yeah I'm in the skype group, have been for the past month and a half or so. We talk with the rest of the team quite a bit.

I'm joining your team as discussed more than a little - and was also in the OOC less than a page over.
