My hero: The old days

Voting is open
Reader mode
Current Quirk Ideas:
Gacha
Pros
  • Has increasing growth potential for a variety of effects.
  • Control over effect choice, limited by resource.
  • It has a minimal safety net after you began to deplete your resource.
Cons
  • The longer you engage in combat, the less likely you are to maintain higher levels of power.
  • Without a certain resource, you cannot use your quirk.
Geppetto
Pros
  • Long-Range Quirk.
  • Can operate independently.
  • Gains the knowledge to craft and repair bodies.
Cons
  • Requires resources to craft body case of damage.
  • Without a certain resource, you cannot use your quirk.
  • With no proper vessel, mental stress and pain is accumulated.
Crazy Box
Pros
  • Starting variety of weapons and minor effects.
  • Potential to expand pool of weapons.
Cons
  • No control over weapon choice.
  • Must train to use weapons.
Golden Light
Pros
  • Holy crap. Are we allowed to have this? We are.
  • Wide variety of effects.
  • Kinetic power manipulation.
  • Non-human perception.
  • Automatic defense system, takes very little to trigger.
Cons
  • Involuntarily activation of some effects.
  • Mind and body can be put in jeopardy from non-human perception.

Seeing a couple of these, there's not really any inbuilt weaknesses. Just conclusions that you would naturally draw when thinking about it. If anyone feels that I missed something, allow me to know.

Yeah, we allowed. I balanced the hell out of it. We'll have to train hard and carefully to unleash the full potential of the Golden Light. In general, all these quirks are very interesting and can be useful in the story later. I like Crazy Box idea, because I was thinking about something like that and it's interesting in itself. Many possibilities for Dice Gods to make things interesting, but not too many. Feel weird about Geppetto mostly for no reason, because it has this familiar theme, which cause me discomfort sometimes. Gacha feels like interesting random power option, but it also sounds too random.

Okie doke. I was just checking, because it seemed reasonably strong.
If you like Crazy Box then check Gacha. The premise is (sort of) pay-to-win, and when you run out of a certain amount of coins, you start gamblingl

[X] Plan: I Hate This Quirk
-[X] Gacha
-[X] Zhang FuLin
-[X] Male

Seeing as how the average Chinese citizen is not having a good time, I'm imagining an a family of escapees from the country, maybe from one of the lower classes, who traveled to (insert major city). He struggled with using his quirk before leaving the country because it's money-based, and as you can guess, he didn't have a lot of that.

Imagine the zany shenanigans of balancing 3 different jobs just to be able to afford to us your quirk. Both a weakness and a character point.

Maybe I can alleviate your worries about that.
Gacha only goes random when you're low on resources, the fight has been extended past reasonability, and you're aiming to maintain a higher power level.

[X] Plan: 2 in 1
-[X][Quirk] Geppetto
Main Power
No Strings: Sentient Quirk that posses objects the user crafted or assembled
Minor effect
Two Souls one Body: when no objects are being possess or when the vessel is destroyed the Quirk will retreat into the user's mind
Not meant to be One: the user and the quirk will build up mental stress when the quirk isn't inhabiting a vessel which they describe as being lock in a small trunk
Craftman: as a side effect of the requirement of the quirk the user became profecient in crafting bodies for the quirk

Ok question. Do you have a body at all in mind for this quirk? Can I go crazy if not?

Second question, can the things we make be a bit more durable than normal items? Like if I were to make… A giant wooden monkey doll, could said doll be more durable than normal?

Third question, how strong or fast would the quirk be able to move in a body? For instance a 4 foot tall monkey doll.

I don't like thinking of it as winning. Consider this: if the "luck" catch was eliminated, then it would just be "you can stay in this form until you run out of (insert resource)". Sure, that's fine, but it doesn't really leave any room for growth, or different options, or a theme.

Sometimes quests need time. And it's possible that anime (or this anime in particular) just may not be popular enough to attract a wider audience.

I'm going to be honest… if someone opened a chocolate milk in the grocery store, drank it, than put it back… I'm throwing hands.

I mean the quests been open for less than 24 hours… like it's not the surprising to have this few watchers.

Well, maybe? It just going to be a tie in this case and it's hard for me to abandon Golden Light idea. However, if tie means more time for voting, then I will consider possibility of changing my vote. I just like Geppetto the least of these options. No offense.

If it makes you and your spilled milk feel better:

I'm currently building a 4 foot tall monkey doll and taking full advantage of the quirk being able to use any part of its body without machinery.

Example: A tail made of rope that the quirk can use to wrap around structures to move better or wrap around people to capture them.

Also giving it a x2 durability on whatever it inhabits, because it's really underpowered if I don't give it something that goes with every body it will have.

*scrambles notes*
1. It offers a unique theme and experience to the character, with the quirk detailing a-an important part of the character.
2. It can be a running that that he
a. Hates his quirk because it's so expensive.
b. Balances multiple jobs and is always scrounging for money to support it.
3. It starts off simple and allows for several different chances to grow in power and variety, and we *can* control which effect we want — it just takes more of our resource too.
4. In it's base form, unlike Puppet Master Jutsu (Geppetto) we don't occu- occur any…uhm…damage. The mental stress idea thingie.
5. We can grow not only through combat, but through playing various chance/gamble-based games and we can probably get a license/doctor's note for it, so we have multiple paths to growth.
6. …There's a pun in the name. "FuLin" sounds like "Foolin", and the point of a a lot of chance games is to fool someone.

The tie will probably do *something* to the vote, though in good faith I can't say it'll make a perfect stale cake for voting. Though why does Puppet Jutsu unappeal to you so?

I don't think my milk will be consoled…primarily because it's too traumatized from being inside of me.
I was under the impression machinery was required, and that's why we're able to have (and need) the knowledge to make bodies.

Well it doesn't say that machinery is required. So from what I got from it was this: As long as it's connected and apart of the body it works, also it can still have machinery, just it doesn't need it.

If it does require machinery than this should basically be like an AI quirk. Which I'm pretty sure this is a ghost inhabited quirk. So unless I missed something I'm pretty sure it works like that.

I meant simple machinery along the lines of moving joins and such. Like how a wooden puppet word have movable balls for joints at the elbows, knees, ankles and wrists.

I don't know, really. Sometimes powers with familiars or something like that make me annoyed for some reason. Not always, but that's why I can't figure out why it happens at all.

Edit: *sigh* Guess, I'll change my vote. Maybe Golden Light idea come back in other place later.

Everyones a Gangsta until we reveal the the multi story gorilla body we made Pin :V
Geppetto is the only quirk with the capability to start a Kaiju battle. :p
Generally though I'd agree with you, this is absolutely a quirk that lends itself more towards being a Underground hero. However given this is the dark age of Quirk warlords and discrimination, I'd only say thats a bad thing if you don't think you're prepped to write it.

Lack of direct agency?

Well, maybe it's part of the problem... I have a suspicion that this is due to the unconscious part of my expectations about this or any other quest/story. Perhaps I already have an approximate and desired picture of what and how should happen next in my head. And irritation emerges from these depths. Although it doesn't explain why this happens when it comes to familiars, but not expressed for other themes.

That is…an odd thing. Maybe it's when the reliance on the familiar/companion is too much? Well, I know that I usually like them when there's an abundance.

The original post *did* mention suggesting quirk ideas for villains (or other heroes too, I believe) so I think that Golden Light could make a veritable come back. Though, probably for someone reasonably stronger than our current character.

That's a 'maybe' right there captain. Any other quirk with growth potential could maybe make *themselves* into some giant machination, biological or not.

@CausalityCircle MHA quest, super new, can I convince you to vote for someone with (slightly) problematic and very fun powers? X] Plan: I Hate This Quirk.

  • Voting
    • So I'm supposed to have ended this vote a solid four minutes ago… even if another vote for gacha happens I'd have to coin flip…

    Ok listen to anyone who doesn't like a "familiar" idea: Just think of it as a twin from birth but ghost.

    Body idea
  • Informational
    • Ok for anyone who wants to pitch ideas for body parts of a 4 foot tall monkey go ahead.

    Current ideas:

    A monkey-like wooden doll that stands 4 feet tall. Has rope for his tail, shield like forearms, a spring for feet.

    Pins carver
    Hp 120/120
    Unlimited energy
    Strength 12(This is Jimmy's strength x1.2)
    Agility 15(This is Jimmy's agility x1.0 than add on the extras)
    Constitution 12(Hp is x5 this.)(x2 durability)
    Endurance 0
    Intelligence 10
    Perception 10
    Spirit 0(Can't heal or regenerate on his own.)

    Abilities:
    Boosted durability: Whatever you possess gains x2 durability.
    Rope tail: A tail made of rope. This tail can be manipulated as a free extra limb. The tail can wrap around structures to move around or people to capture them. +2 to agility. Combat option.
    Spring feet: Springs for feet! Can control when they bounce and when they do they go far! +3 to agility.
    Shield forearms: Some wooden shield-like forearms. Can defend with them! +3 defense(x2 durability) = +6 defense.
