i am very bad with the names...
Theo -- Elastic Hair
Description: Able to manipulate his hair, shoot it out in spikes, hit things, throw things, change its shape. Has quite a long range. It’s a bit like The Incredibles’ Elastigirl, but only for his hair.
Cons: Overuse makes his hair fall out. It’s his hair after all, so if you shock it, he will be shocked.
Theo’s use: He just uses it to shape his hair into whatever hairstyle he is into. He also changes his hair to punctuate his sentences. He almost never uses it as a tool to fight because he loves his hair, he doesn’t want to damage it. He is also super vain and he freaks the hell out if his hair is falling off. Most people who know him probably don’t even realize he has elastic and powerful hair. He loudly tells everyone about how awesome his hair is because it can form any hairstyle he wants (and how many other plebs can achieve that?!). He uses a special conditioner and takes great care of his hair.
Ayla -- Blaze of Power
Description: Inspired by the Blaze Pokemon ability. Able to burn metabolism and energy to temporarily enhance a physical ability, eg. speed or jumping skills.
Cons: Overuse obviously makes her quickly exhausted/fatigued and she might faint if she really pushes herself.
Ayla’s use: She is so ready to use this, but she is not able to accurately gauge the effects on her body in moments of passionate urgency. Eg. She will overextend herself without realizing. Since she is rarely in life-threatening situations, she probably mostly uses it to show off a bit here and there in daily life, or she uses it in competitions designed to feature/showcase Quirks.
Noella -- Henshin
Description: Can turn any inanimate object into a hen. It’s a permanent transformation. The hens she creates matches her age -- when she was a kid, she could only create chicks.
Cons: When overused, she creates really weird-looking hens.
Noella’s use: She tries not to use it at all because although she loves hens, she wants to take in every hen that she creates. She feels really bad if they wander off and get lost after she turns them, or she isn’t capable of caring for them. She reluctantly realizes that she can’t keep 500 hens even if she wants to. All the hens she creates somehow lay the most delicious eggs ever.
Icarus -- Telekinesis
Description: Low-level telekinesis. He can move objects with his mind, depending on his mental focus, clarity and strength of will. He can throw things, pick things up, etc.
Cons: He gets a migraine when he overuses his Quirk. The heavier it is, the harder it is for him to pick up. In bad cases, he would even get nosebleeds or concussions.
Icarus’s use: He is that person who forgets he has a Quirk lol -- he still ends up crossing the room to get something, or being confused at something he can’t reach -- until he suddenly remembers he has a Quirk. He struggles with lifting heavy things (he can usually only lift lighter objects and finds it hard to lift furniture), and he also can’t lift non-solids like liquids. If trying to throw things, he will actually miss if he’s not focused or he’s distracted.
Morrigan -- Psychic
Description: Able to launch psychic attacks against others, causing horrible headaches to the victim. Able to lift items telekinetically. Able to create illusions. (Her Quirk is similar to a Gardevoir’s Psychic, a tbt to her origins).
Cons: Like Icarus, overusage causes a debilitating migraine, and usage of the Quirk depends on her mental focus, strength and clarity.
Morrigan’s use: She does not use her psychic powers to show off by throwing things, despite what her bff Odette always asks of her -- she thinks it’s crass to show off. She only uses her powers when it’s life-or-death. She mostly uses psychic attacks when attacking because she has good mental focus. She likes to use her powers to create very aesthetically-pleasing illusions (she has a love/admiration for all things pleasing to the eye and artistic). She is easy to rile up and make angry, which is to her detriment, because then she loses all mental focus and becomes ineffective -- attacks miss or fail.
Odette -- Earth Stomper
Description: Able to use metabolism and energy to manipulate the earth, like earthbending. Can create fissures, can create walls (similar to Cementoss). She does it by stomping on the ground or moving her hands like she’s pulling/pushing something.
Cons: Physically draining/exhausting when overused. She can only manipulate the earth if there is soil or rock -- so if she was in a metal box, she won’t be able to do anything.
Odette’s use: She loves and lives for any chance to use her quirk, she thinks her own power is so cool lol. Unfortunately or fortunately, her power is not easily used IRL, so she rarely gets a chance to do anything. She is actually quite powerful because she has a very strong body, good physical reserves and good endurance. She has never reached the limits of her strength/metabolism before, as she frequently does not need to use a lot of it. When she does use this though, she gets hungry and devours a huge meal after. She frequently complains to Morrigan about Morrigan’s ability, which is more used in daily life, and frequently asks Morrigan to demonstrate her abilities to Odette’s friends, or for Odette’s convenience/benefit. Morrigan frequently refuses because she thinks it’s very crass/unnecessary.
Emily -- Shock Wave
Description: Able to convert metabolism/energy into shock waves.
Cons: Again, overuse causes exhaustion and even fainting. Also if there’s a thick/heavy object in the way, the opponent would be shielded.
Emily’s use: Emily can emit this using nearly every part of her body. She frequently uses this to make life convenient for herself, eg. using this to give herself a hand when pushing heavy things, or using this to propel herself forward if she’s late. She has gotten clever/opportunistic at using this, able to easily figure out how to best use it in any situation. She’s very at ease/integrated with her Quirk. She is more aware of her limitations than Ayla, and less likely to push herself to fainting state. If she was participating in Quirk contests, or for the sake of showing off, she probably designed a cheerleader routine where her actions emit shock waves.
Nova -- Psychic Tank
Description: Able to use mental powers: telekinesis, psychic attacks, energy barriers (like Reflect/Light Screen).
Cons: Similar to Icarus’s and Morrigan’s ability, overusage results in migraines, internal bleeding.
Nova’s use: She can use her power in more ways and on a larger scale than Icarus or Morrigan -- she is also better at the two when it comes to using her environment or spotting opportunities. Like Emily, she’s good at her Quirk. Unlike Emily, she integrates it into her life to a lesser extent. She uses it to multitask -- eg. taking another book while she’s looking at something else, or preparing something she has to do next while she’s doing another thing. She basically uses it to save a little time and inconvenience here and there, maximizing efficiency. She has a strong, focused and clear mind, so she can use her powers for quite a while before she feels that she is reaching her limit, and it’s hard to distract her from what she is doing.
Jacob & Yvonne -- Shadow Portal
Description: They can move within the shadows (quicker than normal, almost like teleportation). So long as there are shadows, it looks like they appear and disappear all over the place.
Cons: Overusage causes their bodies to feel numb. They will pass out if they push themselves too hard. If in a harshly lit, shadowless place, their Quirk is useless.
Jacob’s use: He almost never uses it in daily life, not really seeing chances for it or thinking it’s unnecessary. If in conflict situations, he uses it very defensively. He just fades in the shadows to hide or run away until his body limit forces him out into the open.
Yvonne’s use: She rarely uses it in daily life as well. If in conflict situations, she is able to use it very much to her advantage, like an assassin probably lol.
