Tanner Lovelace

The scientist of the Hassaikai

[theneedleofextraction]

THE DOCTOR IS IN

You're wasting my time with these ridiculous questions and you're lucky I'm entertaining them.

My name is Tanner Lovelace, 26, 6'2. My quirk is called Syringe tail, mutation type quirk that manifests the via syringe at the end of my tail. Any substances it extracts will flow through my body allowing me to use it to my advantage. If I were to extract someone's blood I'd be able to use their quirk for a limited amount of time otherwise it'll take significant damage on my physical and mental health.

A drawback is that I'm unfortunately.. prone to craving human flesh and I resort to cannibalism.

Science is a passion of mine but my methods and experiments were considered acceptable in the eyes of the law, thus forcing me to work in secret until I proposed a deal to Overhaul. He's the only man that doesn't drive me insane and often the only one intellectually competent to understand my ambitions.

TAG GUIDE

Pestering nonsense - answering asks

The eight bullets of stupidity - interactions with the Shie Hassaikai members

The cure - interactions with Overhaul (who he absolutely isn't in love with)

The helpful assistant - interactions with Chronostasis

Just an ingredient - interactions with Eri

Outsiders - general interactions

Excuse me sir. I request a moment of your time. I won't speak more than necessary. Respond when you can

Perhaps it would be best to put up some sort of sign outside of his office advising people that he didn't represent all Overhauls in the known multiverse.

It's rather bold of you to assume I know who you are to begin with. It would be polite to introduce yourself, at least.

[theneedleofextraction]

"I didn't assume that, sir. I'm not one for introductions but I suppose they make a good impression. My name is Tanner Lovelace, I worked for another version of you but due to an unfortunate shortcoming that ended the Shie Hassaikai I'd like to make myself useful in another one."

His tail flicked behind him, the cold metal of the syringe catching the light briefly while Tanner stared at Overhaul through foggy goggles.

"I was helpful with the creation of the erasure bullets due to my quirk as well as leveling out the field when faced with opponents."

[remedialhands]

I have no need for your assistance. I've picked my staff by hand and they accomplish their jobs efficiently. I especially have no need for the kind of help you're offering.

Furthermore, what value would there be in taking on a pawn from a failed Hassaikai? Clearly you weren't very good at your job.

[theneedleofextraction]

"it was hardly my fault everything failed. Deidoro was so drunk he slammed into a metal pipe, Nemoto passed out in battle, Chronostasis was arrested after monologuing instead of killing someone, Rappa was.. Rappa, Mimic let his temper get the better of him, Hojo, Tabe and Setsuno were.. themselves and I honestly don't even know what happened with Rikiya all I know is that he wished to touch a highschooler."

He crossed his arms, continuing his cold gaze at Overhaul.

"if you have no need for the assistance I'm offering than I could propose I help handle any scientific and medical tasks you're too busy with. The bullets are.. competent in their own strengths but mine is science. Surely you've been stumped before. I could assist you."

[remedialhands]

Ah. I see. So everyone else was at fault except for you. How convenient for your case.

He wasn't particularly fond of idiots who blamed their tools instead of taking responsibility for themselves. Certainly not the type of person he'd like to have working under him.

No, I haven't found myself particularly "stumped" with science, actually. Surely you're not insinuating that I'm just operating blindly without knowing what I'm doing.

Again, a piece who brags about being strong against opponents in the same breath as admitting he failed his leader doesn't sound particularly appealing to me.

[theneedleofextraction]

"I didn't intend to shift the blame on everyone else. When I saw things beginning to go wrong I panicked and did what I rarely do which is act before I think. I made.. hasty and brash decisions, most of which were mistakes. And I did not intend you insinuate that you blindly operate. You're highly intelligent and know what you're doing, more than most people do. Usually people think that paying half their attention to a four hour long video is enough education they need to create an atom bomb. It's irrational, immature and completely ridiculous."

He sighed and glanced off to the side at a person walking by. His tail twitched again and took him before he stomped on it to keep it grounded.

"I only mentioned the possibility of being stumped because there's always going to be confusion with certain tasks that may require more than one mind thinking to work through faster. I'm not saying that to potentially hint an your incompetence since frankly that doesn't exist. I just wish to be of use to you as well as not sit idly by contributing absolutely nothing to the improvement of this filthy hero ridden society."

He rolled his eyes at the last part. God the heroes pissed him off beyond belief.

"They don't listen to reason if it contradicts with their sense of right or wrong. I wish to make those morons see how corrupted they really are."

[mysophobic-birdman]

Hate to break it to you, but…anon wasn’t lying, Tengai and Rappa have been all over each other.

As little as Rappa's personal life concerns me, I still don't believe a word you're saying.

[theneedleofextraction]

They are dating, Overhaul. A recent development after Chara ran away.

[a-bard-and-its-troupe]

Uncle Nemoto, do you need to be escorted home?

(@childofthehassaikai)

No. I’m fine.

[theneedleofextraction]

....are you sober now? I would hate for someone to take advantage of your current state if not.

[a-bard-and-its-troupe]

I’m sober enough to know that I don’t want to see you. And drunk enough to have the mind to tell you to fuck off.

[theneedleofextraction]

I... Ah. Understood. My apologies uncle Nemoto..

[a-bard-and-its-troupe]

Uncle Nemoto, do you need to be escorted home?

(@childofthehassaikai)

No. I’m fine.

[theneedleofextraction]

[a-bard-and-its-troupe]

To Shin Nemoto

Hello Uncle Shin. I haven't seen you in quite some time that I'm unsure if you happen to remember me or not. Assuming this is a multiverse situation I shall introduce myself.

I am Kage Kurosaki, son of Overhaul and Chronostasis.

(@childofthehassaikai)

I would hardly consider myself your uncle. That is far too informal.

[theneedleofextraction]

The boy stared at him in a silence that seemed to stretch in forever as the gears shifted in his head. He gave a simple nod and stared at Nemoto, trying as best he could to get eye contact despite the man's mask. He had the same intense and almost dead looking eyes of Chisaki but the hair of Kurono with a few brunette streaks in it.

Understood. Will mister Nemoto suffice?

And have you seen my parents anywhere?

[a-bard-and-its-troupe]

You would still be my superior, so I do suppose whatever you want to call me would suffice.

If it was up to him, he would simply be called Nemoto, but it wasn’t his place to speak on. The child had the say here, given his parents and their relationship to the man. One of which was his boss.

[theneedleofextraction]

What do you wish to be called? Bring referred to something you don't wish to be called is something anyone would be uncomfortable with. I, of all people, would know that..

The boy seemed nervous now. He assumed Nemoto didn't know where his parents were and suddenly he had no idea what to do with himself. Social cues weren't exactly his forte but he certainly didn't want to be alone. There was one thing he was curious about though..

Sir? If I may ask, why did you join my father?

[a-bard-and-its-troupe]

I would prefer to be referred to as whatever you wish to call me.

He couldn’t be called anything else. It would once again mean his feelings were causing issues. He needed to limit that. Needed to limit his emotions. They weren’t to control him.

He is the only one who gives me a modicum of respect.

[theneedleofextraction]

I respect you, uncle Nemoto. In certain situations you're more level headed then my usual stoic father. I hardly consider myself your superior in truth. You're more mature, much more experienced and know far much more than I do.

He tilted his head, one of his arrow tipped strands of hair he inherited from Hari brushing his neck. He immediately flinched and swatted it away, rubbing his neck with sudden panic until he rubbed his skin red. His breathing was briefly frantic but he quickly forced himself to calm down though he was clearly still distressed.

Stupid quirk stupid.. damn it..

He grabbed a hair tie from his jacket that seemed to be a more muted version of Overhauls jacket and tied his hair back.

I consider you as my superior though. And sorry for the distraction, my quirk scares my parents to a certain degree and it scares myself as well.

[a-bard-and-its-troupe]

I am not to be considered your superior. It is the other way around. Something your father is quite adamant about.

Nemoto was not someone who got respect from the one he worked for. Not to the extent of being considered the child’s superior. He was hardly anyone’s superior, unless he needed to keep people in line.

The quirk was worrisome, though he couldn’t do anything to help. His quirk was useless in most matters. His boss would agree with that fact. The only time it came to be useful was when information was needed. Other than that, the only thing he had going for him was being a reliable shot.

[theneedleofextraction]

If you insist, I suppose. I don't enjoy viewing you or the other bullets as inferior to me. Despite what my father says I.. ah, nevermind.

He sighed and stared at the ground, tugging at the bottom of his jacket as he tried to think of what to say. Since nobody knew where his parents were he might as well spend more time with Nemoto.

Uncle Shin? What do you do in your free time?

It was small talk but he couldn't think of anything better to do.

Am I being a nuisance to you..?

[2as-eraser]

Greetings.

I'm inquired to ask what life at UA is like? I don't wish to enroll in any of those ridiculous hero schools but knowing the actively put children my age on the battlefield.

(@childofthehassaikai)

“it’s like normal high school but with hero combat and stuff.”

“I don’t fuckin know how to describe it okay?”

[theneedleofextraction]

There's no need for such crude language and it's such a shame all those frivolous heros and their hero courses. Putting children in the face of death if needed. Simply irresponsible and horrid. The Hassaikai will be here to sort that out.

[2as-eraser]

“The what?”

[theneedleofextraction]

The Shie Hassaikai you moron. I suppose it's beneficial that we haven't caused too much of a ruckus to attract the attention of your precious little hero school though.

I'd love to see that place burned down to the ground..

[the-punch-bowl]

Uncle Tengai? Hello. How are you doing?

(@childofthehassaikai)

I'm nobody's uncle. I'm afraid you're mistaken.

[theneedleofextraction]

Biologically you're correct. You have no blood relation to anybody in my family but I still wish to call you and the other Shie Hassaikai members "uncle." My name is Kage Kurosaki, son of Chronostasis and Overhaul.

[the-punch-bowl]

I reject the title. I don't consider myself close enough with either Master Overhaul or Kurono to accept being called the uncle of their supposed child.

If that's even true information. I find myself doubtful.

[theneedleofextraction]

I.. hm. Despite that, I still wish to call you uncle. Mister seems too formal and plain Tengai seems far too comfortable.

And I..

The boy who sounded like a girl and looked the part far too much to biologically be one turned his head slightly to show his hair to Tengai. He had Hari's arrows and hair color with a few streaks of Kai's dark brown as well as Kai's eyes.

Mom and dad prefer my existence be.. less known.

[the-punch-bowl]

Then perhaps you should take a hint from them and make yourself scarce.

My Master Overhaul does not have a child. Thus, I have no need to humour your disrespect. I've already told you that I do not wish to be called your uncle. Do as you're told.

[theneedleofextraction]

I didn't wish to be disrespectful, my apologies..

The boy looked around, tugging at his hair that quickly bounced once it was leg go of. He suddenly seemed very anxious and began rubbing at his neck.

I suppose I should listen to the adults more. I'm just not too fond of being hidden away sometimes. Do you wish for me to leave? I-I can do that..

[the-punch-bowl]

If you don't wish to be disrespectful, you should listen the first time one tells you to stop doing something. Though given who you claim your parents are, I can't say I'm particularly surprised that you lack common manners.

Do whatever you'd like. If you're not going to make a nuisance of yourself, you may stay.

[theneedleofextraction]

Please don't speak too harshly on my parents. It truly wasn't my attention to upset you unc- uh.. sir. Thank you for allowing me to stay though. I am curious, what do you do.. here? I assume you enjoy being alone without Rappa's constant dramatics giving a migraine to anyone within fifteen meters of him..
