Welcome to round three! This is a friendly spar at UA and your character’s first time in their hero costumes. This round is less about the fights themselves and more about your character’s feelings and friendships.
Background: Sairame is your everyday teen with a mutant quirk who decided to be a hero cause why not? That's literally it. Sairame looked at their quirk, and decided that they can be a hero. It's super unheroic and Sairame knows it, they just don't care.
Their parents run a business chain, so they're pretty rich. And pretty spoiled. You would be too if you can buy a car before.you could drive it.
Quirk: Slime Body
Sairame is basically a humanoid slime monster. They can liquidate themselves and go through cracks and small openings, or they can become really thick that being inside them is like swimming through... Slime. Bullets and sharp objects pass through them without harming them, and they can't actually be crushed, anytime something gets too heavy for their slime body to bear they liquidate. They can also shift into a slime ball. Doesn't actually do anything except make them a ball, but Sairame would find a use for it later.
It does have some drawbacks though. Namely, water, ice, and fire. Water can wash them away if they're in their liquid form, fire burns their slime which is pretty painful for them, and they can actually be turned to ice if frozen (though they can thaw). They also can't actually stretch their body, only liquidate and thicken. They can still feel pain, much more so than normal humans.
Stats (Out of 5)
Cooperation: 3/5
Power: 4/5
Intelligence: 2/5
Speed: 3/5
Technique: 1/5
Personality: Sairame is pretty carefree yet a bit of a jerk. They don't really mean it, but sometimes they accidentally hurt people without meaning too. They can also be a bit whiny, having been spoiled by their parents when they were young.
They can be friendly, they just make a pretty bad first impression on most people.
Will make up the proper application image thing when my computer finally decides to let me use MS Paint again.
Name: (LN/FN)
-Takeda Yukino
Pronouns:
-She/her
Background:
-The first thing Yukino heard after she first used her Quirk was “So cool!” After that, she kept hearing how cool her Quirk was (the pun was a little repetitive, but she still liked it), and how great it’d be for hero work from her classmates, her teachers, her family, even her Quirk counselor. And then one day she saw a villain attack. She was only on the sidelines, but she was still close enough to see a super cool ice-using pro hero take down the villains with his special move, Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall. In that moment, she realized. That could be her. And that was the day Yukino decided to be a hero.
Quirk:
-Cryomancy: Emitter. Yukino’s Quirk allows her to lower the temperature of anything that she touches, which can spread to additional things so long as she keeps touching the first thing. If (and only if) she uses Cryomancy to lower an object’s temperature to below 0 degrees Celsius, she gains telekinetic control over it out to a range of 50 meters until it raises back over 0 C. However, lowering the temperature of objects also causes her body’s temperature to lower slightly, and trying to control more objects at once splits her attention between them.
Personality:
-Yukino is incredibly confident in herself. Honestly, it’s... kinda to the point of being egotistical... She does try to be nice, though. She doesn’t always succeed, but at least she tries. That being said, she puts too much stock into Quirks, when it comes to how she judges people. She thinks people with “cooler” Quirks are cooler, and she tends to dismiss people with more “boring” or “weak” Quirks...
Stepping off the train Ozen finds herself shuffling around the docks trying to find where she is supposed to go. The main gate into Taiyuu proper is shut with a big arrow pointing applicants to go further down the dock. While Ozen is early she’s not the only one, some rabbit girl seems to be angrily going at it with a girl with pigtails and the most shit-eatiest of grins. Workers shoo them along as they are disrupting the “Feel better” area. “Feel better” is repeated on the sign they put up that has a happy dog design on it. Odd but whatever, Ozen continues down the dock stopping when she sees a giant cave opening, multiple lit signs pointing to it a clear indicator she found the testing location and heads in.
More applicants have shuffled in at this point, Ozen thankful for her stature and don’t fuck with me aura, as her sister describes it, is able to take her place in front of the raised stage. The volume of the enclosed space almost gets to be too much when the abrupt loud sound of a microphone silences the room, everyone looking towards the direction from where it originated, the stage. The man, who Ozen parsed as having a deer mutant class quirk, stood stock-still, like a... deer in headlights, obviously not expecting the sound or the sudden attention of everyone in the room.
The Deer man seemed to get over the blunder, shaking himself off and introducing themselves to the crowd, “A-apologies for that. I’m Buckskin, the Vice Principle of Taiyuu, and I would like to start by congratulating you all for passing the written exam you took off site and earning a spot here in today’s entrance exam. Anyone bringing outside equipment or gear, must have it approved by our head of support, situated by the cave’s entrance. While that finishes up, Lacca-daisy our principle will explain the exam.”
With his part done, the hero moved to the side of the stage to give room to the principle who… wasn’t there. If this bothered the VP, he was great at hiding it as the crowd started to get uncomfortable with the lack of speaker, eventually giving his watch a slight scowl.
The roof began to shake as a small opening forms popping out said late principle who landed on the stage with a flourish. Not perturbed by her own tardiness, Lacca-daisy decked out in her hero outfit and looking like she had been using her quirk all morning if the faint layering of dirt is any indication, grabs the mic. “Welcome prospective students!” she may be covered in dirt but the smile she gives the crowd is blinding “This portion of the exam will be an obstacle course the likes of which other hero schools could only dream of!” She motions to the previously blank screen behind her as a diagram pops up of what appears to be a 2d view of the island, the room cavern they are currently in blinking to show where they were.
“Instead of being some linear race, the exam is split up into separate layered rooms! Once the exam begins each room will have one gate in it and your goal is to get through it!”
An animation pops up on screen of what appears to be pixel versions of the VP, the head of support, and two other heroes Ozen didn’t know in a final fantasy styled battle against a giant version of a dog she faintly recalls seeing around.
“Everyone is competing to get through a gate, even if they have to work together against obstacles”
The animation continues with the unnamed Mohawk pixel fighter choosing to attack the enemy which the animation portrays as giving them a tummy rub, defeating the boss. Pixel VP’s turn has them selecting the “bound” ability resulting in them jumping through the once blocked gate, a stone door shutting right after them.
“Once an applicant is through a gate, they pass! It isn’t over for the rest though!”
Black holes open up under the remaining pixel fighters surprising them as they fall through.
“Anyone not through a gate falls to the next level and the struggle to get through a gate starts anew with new competition!”
The previous diagram pops up showing the initial room spider webbing down into more rooms that do the same, representing the theoretical progress of applicants during the exam.
“The exam gets less difficult as you descend levels, getting through a gate whether at the top or the bottom is treated equally because of this!”
Murmurs of confusion are heard throughout the crowd
Smirking as if expecting this type of response she continues “Just like in the heroing world, if you can end a situation quickly you should do so, and if you can’t, endure till you do!”
That garnered a more positive response as just the mention of actual heroing psyches some whoops from the crowd. Her smile shifted eerily quick, carrying a serious presence and tone that halts the excitement.
“Physically harming other applicants on purpose will result in immediate disqualification. The only exception is if you make it to the last room which will be denoted by green lighting, your final chance to get through a gate at that point…”
The switch back to her ray of sunshine smile is as sudden and abrupt as the previous
“Alright! Before we get started I just have to go over some procedures!”
This is actually going okay Kazumi Shunsuke aka the hero Buckskin aka the vice principle thought, switching between watching Chikyu and scanning the crowd.
The start could have gone better leaving me hanging like that but it’s going okay! All these applicants brimming with potential, Taiyuu is in go-
Kazumi’s thoughts are cut short when his gaze lands on a particularly affectionate display and in the front row no less!
Wha- kids these days are so forward! No shame, don’t they know they’ll be separated in the exam now? Growing a slight blush he turns to his tablet, taking quick note of the applicants.
What an interesting take on an entrance exam, will definitely be more interesting than UA’s Ozen thinks listening intently to Lacca-daisy’s explanation on how to resign if you are in a room.
It’s at that moment that she catches movement from the VP in the corner of her eye,
Huh? What spooked him?
Her attempts to follow his gaze only makes her realize he is staring at HER. She tries to turn and its then that she notices someone is
Playing
With
Her
Hair.
She makes eye contact with the blue pink heterochromatic girl.
.
.
.
There is only silence between them as the shorter girl continues to smile, unperturbed from her previous task of playing with the taller’s hair.
Ozen just turns back and continues to listen, catching the smaller girl doing so as well albeit hair still in hand. Well Kasumi did mention I should be more friendly.. At least attempt to make friends…
Buckskin gives Lacca-daisy a thumbs up from his side of the stage.
Ah that’s the cue, time to get this show on the road.
“Seems like everyone is checked in, so before we let you off to your starting rooms I’ll leave you with this, the great hero Napoleon Dynamite-“
Murmurs spread through the crowd and an audible face palm come from the VP’s direction
“Once said… ‘True heroism consists in being superior to the ills of life’ break a leg out there! But not literally cause I lied about the starting rooms”
Oh no her scary face has returned as she holds her hand up
“the exam starts.. NOW!”
There is a snap, and the floor beneath the crowd crumbles.
Ozen swears she hears maniacal laughter as she falls.
The room is pitch black and while she is unaffected by the drop she can hear others expressing their thankfulness for the soft soil cushioning their fall. It seems the entire pool of applicant’s share the first room, but what will the obstacle be Ozen thinks standing up.
It’s then that a blip of light pops on in the distance, then another, two more, blips start to fill the room as the lights for the room itself turn on revealing a robotic army separating them and the lone gate behind.
Quirks are lighting up, while others get into a fighting stance in preparation for the upcoming clash.
A speaker comes to life “Your first challenge is robo inferno!!!” a smack and a “that’s patented” is heard as well, “Ah I mean uh robo tsunami!!! The first and greatest challenge of the exam!”
Yup she knew she heard maniacal laughter as it repeats over the speaker.
Everyone is up now as a line of those itching for battle take their place up front.
They take a step and the robots do too and that’s when everything..
Turns off?
The robots powering down surprise everyone, even the speaker gives out a surprised “huh??”
Ozen has to squint but she spots the culprit, behind all of the robots, standing in the gate way waiting for the door is someone who resembles a gargoyle.
After getting over the initial shock of the sudden end, the stone door crashes closed. Not even two minutes since they first fell, the ground crumbles again.
Instead of landing in another large room, Ozen finds herself staring down a long corridor and not one to tarry she follows it. Coming up to a narrow bridge with swinging sandbags Ozen starts to wonder where the others on this level are, not once giving any mind to the bags slamming to a stop on her.
The sound of slicing catches her attention coming around the next bend.
There they are it seems she found the other applicants. Amidst of what appears to be a broken robot, a small boy slices at the crystalline door in front of him, a much taller boy leaning on the wall beside him looks up as Ozen makes her way closer.
The taller boy sighs, “you’re too late, someone made it past the riddlebot, and this kid here” he motions with his thumb to the determined boy still having at it, “Decided it was a good idea to attack it.”
The knives in the smaller boy’s hands appeared to have disappeared by now as he turns with a huff “hey I thought it would help!”
The taller boy rolls his eyes at the asinine observation, “Now this basically diamond like boulder blocks us from continuing till pinky out there gets through the gate.”
Ozen takes all this information in before reeling back her fist and crashing it into the boulder resulting in… Nothing.
“Feeling better?” the taller boy remarks with a raised brow.
“Just making sure..” Ozen comments staring at her fist.
The stress of the situation seems to have gotten to the short boy as he lashes out at Ozen’s display, “What did you expect?! Diamond is like the strongest material in the world, it takes more diamond to break diamond, everyone knows that, and that’s what I was trying to do right when you arrived before I ran out of time…”
Stepping off the wall the tall boy places his hand on the boulder, eyes streaming code he interjects “that’s actually a misconception, diamonds are known for their hardness which only denotes resistance to scratching, their toughness which is their ability to resist breakage from falls or impacts is only fair to good, meaning we just need to hit it harder to get through.”
The two blink at the tall boy whose eyes return to normal as he scratches his cheek “It’s my quirk.”
“Well that’s good to know I guess but you saw her punch it, it didn’t budge.”
Ozen interjects herself “Earlier you said you ran out of time; what did you mean by that?”
Surprised she remembered that the shorter boy elaborates, “my quirk conjuring, allows me to make any material I have access to but if it’s not something I’m used to I can really hold it for a minute before having to wait—“
“Make me a gauntlet” Ozen interrupts the boy
“I-I can’t, all the material that maybe would be strong enough is on cool down…”
A low whistle comes from the taller boy “guess we’re just waiting then.”
As the smaller boy slumps down in defeat Ozen looks down at her chest the necklace, of course..
“Can you make it with this? It’s titanium.” She holds out her family’s necklace to the boy, his defeated frown slowly turning back up
“I-I can try! You’ll only have around a minute from the start of my quirk so you have to hurry!”
Ozen nods as he touches her necklace and then.. his eye? If it works it works she can see the forming what is definitely not a gauntlet and more of a crude bludgeoning device which once finished falls to the ground with an audible thud and impact dent.
“Hurry there is only 40 more seconds”
Ozen doesn’t have to be told twice, picking up the crude device she reels her arm back and— CHING the sound of metal on crystal is second only to the cacophony of cracking gemstone,
“tw-wenty seconds!”
Again! Reeling all the way out annnd— KWSHHH still not enough!
“Hurry! Seven seconds!”
This is it, disintegrating weapon in hand she reels her arm
One.
Last.
Time.
And—BWSHHH the sound of broken gemstone raining down fills the floor, even the pink participant who was taking their leisure pace to the gate turns around in shock.
It appears after passing the riddlebots test contestants were to jump down into a pool of water which didn’t seem like much to two out of the three still at the top.
The smaller boy with conjure appeared absolutely elated at their raised position, “huh, maybe you two aren’t plebs after all!” he says before making a running jump off the cliff, finger saluting as wings started to materialize on his back.
Even with the huge head start the pink applicant wasn’t able to match the speed wing boy had garnered from his take off, only barely losing as a rush of feathers and wind make it past them and through the gate, door slamming in their face.
The tall boy Ozen shared a knowing look before they were swallowed in darkness to their next room.
Gah I lost a lot of time on that last one, I doubt I’ll even see the gate this level, no green lighting so it’s not the end at least there is that
Ozen doesn’t seem to notice any obstacles but she can pick up… bickering off in the distance?? The corridor provides no alternative paths and so she continues on down, the noise getting louder and louder until she rounds the corner and is totally unprepared for what she sees.
Six other applicants are here, all in varying states of distress, two pretty boys appear to be the source of the bickering she heard as she then notices a girl knocked out on the ground at least she hopes she’s knocked out cause there is also a hooded boy kneeling over her baptizing them in fire. The girl Ozen remembers from the pier with the blue and pink pigtails sits with her knees up to her chin, back to the rock that appears to be the only direction out.
Last but not least is the one person who actually acknowledges her presence there, “oh great, Mount Miku has arrived”
wa-was that supposed to be an insult?
“It seems another one has joined our merry band of misfits.. I’m Kottoba, welcome.”
“Name’s Ozen, what is the situation?”
It is at this moment rock girl make her frustration known to all, “Ughhhhhh, if I could only get up to it. I could take it out!!”
Kottoba-san continues “Where do I start? Behind the rock is a turret that keeps beaning anyone that pops their head out, bubblegum punch over there, MCR fanboy and hippie masterchef can’t do anything from here while tweedledumb is either ‘healing’ tweedledumber for trying to shield her way through or cremating her for the dumbassery.”
If those descriptions weren’t already spot on, Ozen could have used the trailing flinches that followed Kottoba-san’s explanation, at least the flinch from floor girl indicated she wasn’t dead.
Glares sent her way had Kottoba raising her hands in apology “Whoops my bad, can’t control that.” Ozen moves to take a look around the rocky outcropping “I wouldn’t do that if I were you” she hears from Kottoba in a tone totally expecting Ozen not to listen to her.
Oh yeah THWACK There it is THWACK Seems the gate THWACK is blocked THWACK can’t just THWACK walk around THWACK I’ll need THWACK their help Ozen takes the situation into consideration in her mind as pellets keep hitting her face and falling to the floor.
A low whistle comes from Kottoba “Looks like we have an actual vanguard now, unlike little miss spikey ba—“
Green hood interjects “STOP SHE’S ALREADY DEAD”
“i’m not dead.. -cough-”
Ozen nods at the display, seems the two boys have begrudgingly come to a truce as well “Let’s get going then—ghurk” a pellet goes in her mouth and has her coughing it loose, making sure to aim her face away from the turret –cough- “Let’s get going then.”
They form a line behind Ozen as she leads the way noting how the speed of the shots seem to increase as they get closer. Blocking the turret from shooting them allows the girl with pigtails, passion renewed, to punch a perfect hole through it!
The group lets out a combined cheer before their eventual mad dash for the exit, it seems someone even started to sing! Huh.. why it doesn’t sound like anyone there, who could it be? Before she could get answers her vision is plunged into darkness.
Consciousness comes flooding back and Ozen finds herself in another corridor with.. green lighting, this is the final level. While she wants to know what happened at the end of the last level she can’t afford to lose time thinking about it, and makes her way to the center.
There it is, the gate way is at the opposite end of the circular room she just entered, another corridor opening to this room is not far from hers. The room is devoid of life it appears, Ozen is the first one here, guess the other contestant is still in a previous level.
Making her way carefully across it seems like…
Is this really how her exam will end? Not in a bang, but a whimper?
She is already in the gate way when she hears it, the pitter pattering of footsteps of someone rushing to find out it didn’t matter they already lost. She should keep walking and finish it but her curiosity overcomes her when she hears the footsteps come to a stop leaving only the labored breathing of the individual.
She turns around and Oh it’s her, the girl from the audience that was playing with her hair, her smile now replaced with the façade of one trying to keep it together.
They just stare at each other in that moment, both of them know there is too much distance to cross so they just stare letting the whole situation sink in.
Having had her fill of the moment Ozen turns to continue down her path, she notices the small girl take a step forward before realizing there is no chance and casting her gaze downwards.
One, two, three steps in is all it takes for the stone door to come slamming down. She never realized how deafening it could be, this close to it.
.
.
.
The smaller girl jolts from the sound, maybe it’s just louder when it was your last chance. Finally looking back up she isn’t prepared for what she sees.
One, two, three steeps in is all it takes for the stone door to come slamming down, Ozen juts her arm out to stop its descent, she never realized how deafening it could be.
The smaller girl finally looks up to see Ozen holding the stone door. Getting in a better position under it, Ozen motions to the smaller girl to come here.
It takes a minute for the smaller girl to get over her shock before shaking herself out of it and jogging over. One last look between them assures the smaller that Ozen isn’t joking and she walks under the doors.
Smaller girl safely through Ozen lets the door fall the rest of the way, and the two walk down the corridor together.
Opening the door to her house Ozen is met with her sister slamming into her with a hug.
“nee-chan you’re home!!! How’d the test go? Blow it out of the water? Kick some major ass? Huh HUH??? Did you.. kill god?!?”
Plopping her hand onto Kasumi’s hair with a ruffle Ozen not rattled at all answers her sister in order, “It went fine, not really a chance to, didn’t have to fight anyone, and you know we agreed we would do that together.”
Looking up with an over the top pout Kasumi separates herself from her bigger sister and motions down the hall way “I’m glad you didn’t forget, anyways mother has dinner ready and mom is done grading so we are just waiting on you!”
A soft smile escapes from Ozen as she gets ready to go upstairs “give me a moment, have put my stuff away real quick.”
Kasumi nods about to turn around to head back into the living room when something catches her eye, “nee-chan where did you get a balloon animal?”
Looking down at the masterly crafted balloon animal then back to Kasumi, Ozen nonchalantly lets out “Oh, a friend made it for me.”
Crashing can be heard from the kitchen as “FRIEND?!” is shouted from multiple sources in the house.
I got a couple of questions: For the OC tournament, when is it exactly set in the BNHA universe timeline? Or is it an out of timeline sort of deal? Can you create multiple OCs or is it just one? How are the OCs judged? By the creativity, writing/drawing/animating ability or are there more stuff? This seems really cool and I'd love to participate :>!
For the OC tournament, when is it exactly set in the BNHA universe timeline? Or is it an out of timeline sort of deal?
The tournament is set 10 years in the future, but it’s not super relevant to the story other than the fact that the canon storylines are all wrapped up and Izuku is the number 1 hero and has been for a while.
Can you create multiple OCs or is it just one?
Only one OC per person would be allowed to enter, any more than that would be waaayyyy to much work for the person in question.
How are the OCs judged? By the creativity, writing/drawing/animating ability or are there more stuff? This seems really cool and I'd love to participate :>!
Every OC will be allowed to audition, the overall strength of the audition piece will decide if you make it into the tournament proper. Your entries are judged on creativity, storytelling, and apparent effort (as it’s not possible for the judges to know how much effort you actually put it, but it’s possible to get a good guess). The number of people who audition will decide the number of places available!
