Belle Sabreuse mentioned they can't emote.
I'm currently leaning in favor of a shapeshifter: an alive Uiara would probably need to be mindcontrolled and mindcontrol seems to live visible traces of its effects.
Orrr, there's the possibility the video is in fact real but is based off false information planted by the Philosophers.
…
Okay I have a feeling it's someone we know.
Wonder who it is.
Was Novalight married by any chance?
The more I hear about their relationship the more awesome it sounds.
Neat. Did he ever make a giant dragon to ride on ?
Also what happened to Mona's dad again ? Isn't he dead ? I think he was mentioned as being dead.

Nope. Never married, no kids.
Dead. Fell off a roof when Mona was little. Freak accident.

Hmmm. The relationship between HA and Novalight didn't seem to me as a rivalry, more as Novalight bullying/abusing HA due to a mix of paranoia over her power and her control issues.
Makes sense why Nova would try to frame it as such, though.
Heavenly Astrologian wasn't the head of the faction opposed to Novalight, that was Wolong.
…
I have a feeling there's a story behind that and it isn't nice.
Mr. Oliveria seems like the kind of guy who'd withdraw painkillers if you mouthed off at him.

It sounds more like one of those 0.01% freak accidents. Since it sounds like their grandfather outlived their mother too. And it doesn't seem like their father has remarried since either.

1. Yu-Gi-Oh is real, yes. . .

Ah, you mean the original run where bullies would get subjected to twisted children's games and ironic punishments before the whole "Duel Monsters" card game ended up becoming the core conceit of the series? Yeah, I could see that.

Note to self, try to theorize what works together with Construct Creation (Maybe?) or sensory control options (Mental Manip/Clairvoyance?) to forcibly draw someone into a hardlight Yugioh duel or something equivalent to it. Surely it shall become possible, trust.

So, we have a plan to get Ete fired from Crusade, and Leizi is working on getting intel to slander Joules. We're also taking on a mission that might get us the intel to get Jair fired.
As they say, once is a fluke. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a trend. Do you think three firings will be enough to drop public support in Crusade?

If dropping support for Crusade was going to be solved so easy, I'm afraid of what would be next move of our enemies since this one wasn't enough.

AN: God, I hope I formatted this correctly. I'm willing to remove some of his abilities if I have to.
Candidate:
Name: Sansho Hoshiguma
Codename: Red Horn
Age: 35
Stats: Hit: 9 Espionage: 3 Reputation: 2 Operations: 5
Appearance: Tall, muscular build. Shoulder-length, unruly, and often greasy hair. Yellow eyes. Shark-like teeth.
Origin: Sansho was one of unfortunately many cases of a metahuman whose career started with immense misfortune. According to the records of the orphanage he stayed at, he was born with congenital amputation. He had no arms past his elbows when he was born. His powers manifested when he was 15, which caused a pair of large spikes to pierce out from beneath the skin of his "stumps". Unsure of what was happening to him, Shansho fled the orphanage out of fear of what his power could do if he was near others. As a relatively uneducated orphan, Shansho had no idea who he was supposed to turn to, if there was anyone he could turn to. If that was all that happened, perhaps his story would have been a happier one.
Instead, children who saw his powers reported him as turning into a Behemoth, and things snowballed into manhunt from there. Confused and scared, Red Horn ran for his life and harmed some authorities in the process. Many first responders suffered severe injuries, and three of them died from blood loss. News outlets took this story and ran with it, exaggerating Sansho's actions and stirring citizens into a frenzy.
With everyone seemingly out for his blood, is it any surprise that he joined the criminals that accepted him with comparably open arms?
Sansho would become known as Red Horn; a metahuman that jumped between gangs on the regular, often tearing his opponents limb from limb. Yet, he managed to slip away from criminal elements whenever they began to get cornered, even in situations where he was in a position of leadership that would make harder for him to run.
Red Horn was finally cornered when the Ghost Dragon Triad was taken down. He surrendered willingly and was brought to court. It turned out that Sansho had saved a lot of money during his many years of criminal activity and hired a very good lawyer. Sansho's crimes had been... remarkably minor. Many of the opponents he killed were notorious criminals in the first place; the deaths of only ten police officers, including the ones he killed at 15, along with some of the other deaths he was responsible for, were labeled as self-defense. With the combination of a plea deal that saw additional members of the Ghost Dragon Triad caught and various assets uncovered, Sansho was only sentenced to prison for eight years. He insisted on those eight years himself. He was freed two years before The Movement and disappeared from the public eye, though a minor news story at the time of his release described him as "rather lethargic". There are no official statements he was involved or not.
Powers: Red Horn is capable of producing spikes from any bone in his body. This process was initially painful, but using it for so many years has resulted in a remarkably high pain tolerance. He typically produces spikes from his knees, head, and stumps. Red Horn also has immense strength that has resulted in a relatively high movement. Red Horn does not run so much as bound at his top speeds, though it takes a few seconds for him to reach them. His teeth are like a shark's, just as sharp but far more durable, capable of digging into solid steel.
Red Horn also has something he has referred to interviews (during his incarceration) as his "Berserker State" at times, his dark yellow eyes would glow and he would roar like a mindless animal. His way of fighting would become even more vicious and deadly. He claims that he could focus little more than eliminating the enemy in front of him. Though the memories of his Berserker State in his earlier years were often fuzzy, he was eventually capable of discerning friend from foe, analyzing his opponent, and even following some complicated orders while "deep in his madness." Although he was able to use it often and for long periods of time in his younger years, nowadays he can enter his Berserker State
Reports of Red Horn's past fights showed a gradual increase in combat prowess; what started as aimless stabs and swipes became accurate and calculated. He also learned some form of kickboxing to mix into his fighting style. This training is evidently so ingrained that even fights in his Berserker State maintained a degree of elegance.
Red Horn also displays a unique form of vampirism: he can absorb foreign blood through his skin. Some photos after his fights had foot print shaped patches of bare ground among puddles of blood, and he often looked remarkably clean after tearing his opponents apart, though the same could not be said of his clothes. This likely factors into the regeneration he has sometimes displayed.
Chaucer's Notes: Red Horn, yes, I remember him. The reveal of his Berserker State sparked yet another chicken-or-the-egg debate regarding emotion-based powers. No one knows for sure if his powers gave him his Berserker State, or if it was always something he could always do. I'd best not mention it to Mammoth and Massive Ibis. I'd hate to watch them fight about this after seeing them get along so well.
Leizi's Notes: I believe Red Horn was with the Ghost Dragon Triad the longest. I remember seeing him when I was first introduced to the rest of the triad. There... was always some degree of kindness when he spoke to me. At the very least, he never looked at me with contempt or derision like so many others did. If he did not believe in me, he certainly never showed it. He had a tendency to... root out undesirables. Anyone that bragged about doing something particularly heinous was swiftly made an example if he could get away with it. I... I wish I had reached out to him sooner, even just to congratulate his release. He deserved that much.
A/N: I wasn't something I could smoothly fit into this, but Sansho read a lot of books and more than a few movies during his time in prison. Those and the number of people he met in his lifetime have given him a certain wisdom of how people work, though that understanding is muddied when politics are involved. He recognizes that Crusade's primary purpose is to discredit Justice Unlimited by any means necessary, but can barely comprehend the level of foolish greed that lead someone to pull that just a few months after The Movement.
You may have noticed that I switched between his names more than once. On the job, he's Red Horn. In private, he's Sansho. It's a courtesy he would extend to everyone if he joined Justice Unlimited, including Lady Leizi, unless someone asked otherwise.
I've had this character concept in my head for a long time, so I have a lot opinions on how he would react to things.
I plan to describe Red Horn's minor involvement during The Movement in one or two omakes. One will have Red Horn as something of a secondary character, and the other will be from a few minutes after trying to slip into an evacuation point. I, uh, don't know how those evacuation points worked, if there were any set up at all.
I hope to have at least the first one done before the memorial so he can show up in the background. Maybe a third one where he encounters an "ice golem" a few days before Justice Unlimited does.

Berserker State: When Red Horn reaches the Critical Injury (Adrenaline) state, he gains +3 to any hit roll but cannot roll any Espionage roll outside of reacting to a sneak attack. This ability activates automatically and can only be used once per combat encounter. This ability can activate early after witnessing sufficiently upsetting events. Using this ability more than once a day may result in Red Horn being incapacitated.
Howl of Rage: This ability activates the same moment as Berserker State. Targets in Red Horn's vicinity must make an Operations saving through to keep maintain their composure at DCs of 5, 10, and 15. DC above 15 will result in no change. DC 15 will result in losing one immediate combat action. DC 10 will result in a target perceiving Red Horn as the biggest threat and focus their attacks on him until attacked by another character. DC 5 will result in the target being Terrified and losing their turn. They must then make another Operations saving through with a +2 modifier at the beginning of their next turn. Rolling another DC 5 will give them an additional +2. They will automatically succeed on the third time if they fail again.
A roll below 5 will result in the target passing out from fear. They can be woken up by another character.
This ability can be used once per use of Berserker State.

I mean... Crusade since they added Ete to it seems like a desperation move ya know? They made Crusade to have a public presence in Horizon and to try and weasel Justice Unlimited into spilling everything-
Cause why wouldn't they? They, these symbol folks, seem to be used to having all the info. To have a black zone like Project Prometheus is probably terrifying to them since it's not how things usually go.
Not only that but with John Henry's power being as it is with that side effect is just- Honestly I can see them being even more freaked out since Justice Unlimited has another thing making the symbol folk unable to look at what we are doing.
And when we unveil Exceed-Beyond? A suit that gave a powerless girl the ability to be on par with the strongest of Psychics? They might just to even more desperation sooner.
And when people are Desperate they make Mistakes. Dangerous Mistakes but still Mistakes.

Hell, one of the things I'm worried about is if Noelle activating E-B would set something off in PREVAIL, because Silvio would probably have set up some sort of detector or radar for "The Leviathan's psychic signature".
Its not slander if it's true!
If John Henry can see the weird eyes, and they notice him noticing, that could give away that he actually has powers

I would hope so, but this is the INTERNET. There's always discourse in some way or form, even if its the most obvious thing in the world with enough evidence to refute it 10x over, there will STILL be people defending the "obviously misunderstood woman" and the-- *Blagh* ugh, couldn't write that with a straight face. TLDR, PR and the Web are not easy and if there isn't a section that take everything at face value ill be surprised. We have ammo, but we need to be careful in how we use it or its basically useless. People are Stubborn, Proud or idiots, most of the times all three.
