Name: Felix Drake
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Height: 6'6
Hometown: St. Petersburg, FL

Personality
Felix is well-mannered and cordial, growing up in a household of formalities with how often his parents' business partners were around. But he is good-natured and kind, always wanting to help people where he can. And with his passion for working with machines, for the longest time he has grown up wanting to build something that could help those around him, if not the world. His expertise with machines would become clear quite quickly, and his talent grew in leaps and bounds in the years that followed.

But the murder of his parents changed everything for him. While he maintained a warm demeanor on the surface, the inside burned hot with desire for revenge. His time growing up under executives had taught him to play his cards well, but he had never thought to use those cards in this manner, not until now.

His desire to see his family's dream come true remains. His desire to help people remains. But he will do whatever it takes to ensure that those whom would bring down those desires will be stopped. No matter who he has to kill to do it.

History
Felix grew up the only child of the owners of DracoDream, a company aiming to innovate and make the world a cleaner and more convenient place. If they were to be born without Quirks, they claimed, then they would change the world in their own way. Using materials that were more environmentally friendly, his parents were able to develop a formula for utilizing holographic technology that used little power and exhibited very little in light pollution. So it was that Felix grew up around this environment, watching the inventions start at little doodads and toys, and as they grew into a vision for something more.

Perhaps that passion rubbed off on him, as all he wanted to do growing up was to join his family's line of work. He didn't even mind that he appeared to be Quirkless as well, fighting wasn't something he was interested in -- he only wanted to create. He took to machines by the time of his teens, and before long he had joined the team in creating the next step of environmentally friendly holographic technology when he wasn't at school.

Felix's fresh ideas and ambition for more escalated the progress of the project quite quickly, until Felix became integral to seeing his parents' vision fulfilled. A role he was more than happy to fill, wanting only to see that dream come true. The first step of that vision had come into shape -- a watch-like device that could be used to communicate, surf the web, organize your affairs and much more, all without having to truly touch a thing. With their heads put together, they were able to perfect the holographic interface and make it projectable even from a simple wristwatch.

DracoVision. That was the name they decided on. It was their crowning achievement, the true beginning of their vision. The product took off quickly, and RaiCorp earned millions overnight, attaining great success. A business empire that Felix had helped build, and would have a big role in after finishing school.

But when he did finish school, he didn't get to have that job for long. Within the year after the Vision's unveiling, a press event at the family home was interrupted when the Barbos Syndicate, a criminal organization led by the conniving Barbos, would arrive in force. Its leader had a Quirk that allowed him to use hypnotic suggestion and bend others to his will, creating an army that was unfailingly loyal to him. Barbos had previously demanded a cut of the Vision's proceeds in exchange for "protection", but Felix's father had refused. That money, he claimed, was to go towards charity donations to make the world a better place, and to keep building towards the next phase of their dream. That refusal sealed their fate. All present were slaughtered, including Felix's parents.

All as a statement, to never cross the Syndicate.

It was after losing his home and his parents, that Felix's Quirk emerged. His skin became covered in scales, he grew wings and claws, and with it, he fell upon the remnants of Barbos' men looking for survivors. This however, was kept under wraps. With no public record of how Felix had survived the massacre.

While Felix was set to now inherit DracoDream and continue his family's vision alone, he needed to learn to control his late-blooming Quirk. An untrained Quirk user leading the company would be bad PR for the company, according to its shareholders. So it was suggested that Felix enroll at the KMA. While he was set to lead DracoDream, having a trained Hero on hand to protect its people would reverse the bad PR into good, and having another trained Hero around couldn't hurt either.

Agreeing that learning to control his quirk was best, Felix was shipped off to the island-based academy, though he suspected that wasn't the only reasons that his company's executives had agreed to send him off. They had been quite eager to get to who would be taking on what responsibilities in the company with his parents and him no longer in the picture...

While Felix did his best to convince himself he was doing all he could to keep his family's dream alive, he found himself distracted. That distraction cost him his momentum during the Entrance Exams, putting him squarely in B-1.

He had received a strongly worded message from one of the executives about how it would have been better for PR if he had made it to A-1. No care at all for the fact the boy had scarcely been grieving a few months.

At first, the progression of his abilities were slow, and he struggled in classes. But when reports came of Barbos Syndicate activity in Key West, suddenly his progress quickly began to hasten. The news began to talk of Barbos Syndicate members in Key West being found dead by the dozens, with the occasional witnesses having seen a creature in a metal suit being seen shortly before the killings.

But this clearly had nothing to do with Felix. Whose goal at the Academy seemed to be that the better he did, and the better he became. The better he would be to ensure none in DracoDream, nor in his city... Would have to go through what he did, ever again.



Quirk Name: Essence Of The Dragon
Quirk Type: Creature Aspect
Quirk Description: Control over fire, and the ability to temporarily summon draconic wings, claws and scales that appear on his body on command. Felix's Quirk has in many ways turned him into a ferocious fire-breathing dragon.

Name: Orion D. Fulbright

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Height: 5'10"

Hometown: North Central Florida, Currently Lives on the KMA Campus



Personality: Orion is a quiet, gloomy individual still dealing with the aftermath of years of abuse that was inflicted upon him by a man who is supposed to be a "Hero". While getting whatever help he can to help him cope with his problems, the results have been mixed at best. Orion generally is polite and even friendly to most people, but he tends to shy away from social situations and has some slightly odd, awkward mannerisms. His demeanor is a sharp a contrast to his desire to become a Pro Hero, which would lead him into a very public, prolific life. He wants to do what he can to help people, but his angry demeanor and tendency for violent action causes him issues in properly doing so. Deep beneath the surface is a vitriolic resentment towards his father that is the primary cause of his violent tendencies that clash with his desire to do good. His dislike of the man known as Blitz is part of his desire in becoming a Hero... To try and be a real Hero who would never treat people the way his father treated him and his mother. It also would be an efficient way to providing for himself and to give back to his mother for everything she's done to care for him.



Orion has some struggles with his self-esteem, which could be seen as inadvertently holding him back despite the sheer power his Quirk seems potentially capable of. Despite this, he genuinely tries to do the best he can in any situation, especially in regards to heroics. This alongside his desire for some sort of vengeance against his father do raise some concerns about how heroic he truly can be or if he may well end up turning into a villain one day, but his care for his mother and others around him do prove he has a heroic heart... He just needs to work on showing it better. Maybe developing some closer friendships will help there.



Orion has a couple of hobbies which include playing music and video games, watching various shows, and surfing the internet. He also enjoys more gothic, alternative fashion.

History: Born Orion Griffith, he is the only known child of the American Pro Hero Jon Griffith, considered one of the finest Heroes that the United States has ever produced. Blessed with a simple, but effective Quirk that amplifies his physical abilities far beyond what is normally possible for humans, Jon, known by the Hero Name Blitz, once served in the American military in a specialized squad for those with especially potent Quirks. While having long retired from the military, Jon's activities as a Pro Hero have persisted over the years and he maintains a high profile in the the society of Heroes in the United States. While being fairly well regarded for his skill and efforts in heroics, his personal life is a completely different story...



Jon always held a latent resentment towards the Number 1 Hero and his efforts never seemed to bring him close to superseding their title, thus he turned towards another avenue to success... The next generation. Thus, when Orion started to manifest an unusual Quirk that seemed to be superior to him and his wife Ophelia's Quirks, Jon would begin to train Orion as his successor. The training that he subjected Orion to was horrific and no amount of effort seemed to satisfy Jon's desire for Orion to one day become America's Number 1 Hero. Orion's Quirk also caused him a share of grief growing up due to a side effect of its abilities causing his skin to turn green and many would derisively compare him to a plant. Despite the trouble Orion would associate with the occupation, he ended up seeing heroics as his ticket to a better life.



Alas, things got to a point where Jon's behavior started to alienate Ophelia and especially Orion. Ophelia decided to take Orion and any belongings and money she could muster and ran away to the Florida Keys with her son. Jon, mysteriously, didn't actually pursue them, but his status also left it far more difficult to properly bring him to justice for his actions against them and he managed to bury any attempts to do so. Severing her ties with the not-so-heroic Hero, Ophelia reverted to using her maiden name Fulbright alongside legally changing her son's last name to hers. Despite now having the opportunity to live a more normal life, Orion's desire to be a Hero remained. The fact that the Florida Keys was the location of one of the most prestigious Hero schools in America did not help matters. Everyone with a decent enough Quirk wanted to get into the Keys Maritime Academy. Orion spent much of his developing years preparing for the opportunity. He did well enough in his classes, he honed his Quirk's abilities in the shadow of his father's abuse. Ophelia constantly lived with the conundrum that Orion's desire to be a Hero likely would make Jon return to their lives and also not wanting to crush her son's dreams. Orion's troubled demeanor over the years also proved itself potentially troubling to his mother, especially if the wrong people entered her son's life and manipulated his anger and resentment over his father who remained a popular Pro Hero


Upon graduating from high school, Orion almost immediately moved for KMA and would take the Entrance Exams. He did well on the Written Exams, but things would slip a bit during the Practical Test... Despite a strong showing that demonstrated the sheer potential of his Quirk, something about his demeanor was seen as less than desireable for heroics and he did suffer a bit during review. However, a certain someone put forth a good word for Orion and it was decided some of his troubles can be ironed out with good influence and proper education in heroics, so Orion was accepted into KMA and placed in Class 1-B... The lesser class. To say he was angry about that was an understatement, but some comforting words from his mother did ease his sorrow and help him remember the fact that... He still got in. He had his chance to prove himself! To become better than HIM... Orion would get himself a dorm room on the campus and after a tearful goodbye with his mother, he would depart...



The shadow of Blitz hangs over him, but there is potential for light at the end of this tunnel... And Orion's time at KMA would prove far more eventful than even he could ever expect.



Quirk Name: Photosynthesis

Quirk Type: Emitter

Quirk Description: Via his cells possessing a mutated form of chloroplasts, Orion is capable of absorbing light and converting it into energy similar to plants. Unlike plants, the light energy Orion creates is very different and can be expelled through various means, such as through energy blasts or blinding flashes of light. Via the energy he gains through the light he absorbs, Orion's strength and, more notably, his speed are also increased. The less energy he expels, the more strength and speed he can accumulate. A side effect of his Quirk is that Orion's skin is now a pale green color.

To no surprise, Orion's quirk is weaker during the night unless he has held onto enough light energy absorbed during the day to make use of.

Name: Hachiko Takaboshi
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Height: 5ft 0in
Hometown: Tokyo, Japan


Appearance: Most notably, Hachiko has no hair. It has been completely replaced with tentacles on her head. She keeps most of them pulled back, as she's never dreamed of attempting to get a 'haircut.' She does have subtle control over these tentacles, moving or flopping as she wishes, but ultimately she never bothers. And while their color can change drastically, their default state is a soft dark blue.

Beyond that, she has very obvious red irises that almost seem to glow under bright lights. Her pupils are completely inhuman, resembling those of an octopus. All this paired with very sharp teeth and oddly long and flexible fingers, her mutant-style quirk is fairly obvious.

With a very dedicated punk aesthetic, Hachiko never quite left that aspect of her teenage rebellion phase behind. With many different piercings in her ears, she tends to accessorize strongly with her multiple earrings, even when she is otherwise forced to dress up. Alas, they must come out during practice and training work, but it's not uncommon to find her wearing pretty much anything. Shark teeth, shells, spikes, hoops, loops, and everything else one can think of. She'd absolutely have tattoos all over her body if she wasn't worried they would disrupt her mimicry.


Personality: Hachiko on the surface is a cocky, confident individual who knows her worth, and never accepts anything less. However, despite her outward acts, she has struggled with self-confidence for quite some time. She used to think she was the absolute best and got hit with a face full of reality and has been trying to pick herself back up ever since.

Beyond her desperation to become a hero, Hachiko has so many hobbies that she struggles to make time for all of them. Although, she does prioritize a few higher than others. She adores painting, yoga, and even playing video games and trash-talking people online. However, her rooms are always filled with half-started projects. From plastic mecha figures halfway assembled to discarded piles of Lego, and even random metal and plastic scraps with electronics for her own little battlebots. She struggles to finish what she's started, constantly jumping from one project to the next. Even finishing a painting is often a struggle.

Hachiko is a pretty upbeat individual, always trying her best to pick others up and drag them into her shenanigans, which are wild and plentiful. Very extroverted, when left to herself she tends to go stir crazy until she finds someone to spend time with. She'll often be found laying her back completely bent in half over a couch in the common areas, hoping someone will pass by with something to do.


History: Hachiko grew up all her life knowing she was destined for greatness, but she had never truly applied herself. Her father was a well-known hero and her older sibling had already made their way into U.A. as a hero student. She was sure with her more powerful quirk than the rest of her family that she would be a shoo-in.

She was not. In fact, she flopped hard. Hachiko had never worked for anything before. Decently smart, fit, and fairly wealthy. She never knew what it meant to struggle. And so when she failed, the one thing that she had presumed would be her entire life, she crumbled under the pressure of her own expectations.

U.A. did accept her, but only as a General Education student. She had no chance for anything special, no chance to ever grow or properly train herself in combat. Just a yearly attempt at the Sports Festival that she always failed every year due to the lack of training and always felt like the world laughed at her.

She grew mad at the world, angsty and rebellious. She had the whole classic teenage phase with bad influences and terrible social life, getting into trouble and doing things she would have absolutely gotten kicked out of school if she had ever been found out. Very obviously going down a dark path and yet she seemed completely apathetic to it.

It wasn't until a teacher from the Hero Classes actually made time for her and talked with her that anything actually changed. Graduating in a Hero Class during high school was not the only path to becoming a Hero. It was simply the easiest. Her dreams were not beyond her reach, she just needed to keep trying. An opportunity would open itself up for her eventually if she worked hard enough. Many countries didn't even really begin true Hero training until they went to University.

And sure enough, she took that talk to heart with a new goal in mind. She slowly changed her life around, picking herself back up and ripping herself away from the terrible influences with some help from friends and family. She began to work out, practice her quirk in the gym after hours long into the night, and study harder than she ever had before. It wasn't enough to totally fix her grades, but it was enough that she was able to graduate.

From there, she began to research every single University across the globe that she could attempt to apply for. MKA stood out to her as an obvious University that would know the benefits of the more aquatic applications for her quirk.

Applying was the easy part, the Entrance Exam was the hardest part. Her nerves were so on edge, desperate to prove herself all over again. She could not fail again. She refused. To get into MKA would be a dream!

In the end, she just barely managed to squeak in. Despite her terrible grades and the writing portion of the exams, someone must have seen her potential. She couldn't even care that she got only into 1-B, at the very least she was in. Her dream could finally, truly, begin. And she was never looking back, only forwards.

The future had never looked so bright, or maybe that was just the sun in Florida.


Quirk Name: Cephaloform
Quirk Type: Mutant
Quirk Description: Cephaloform grants Hachiko the physiology resembling cephalopods, primarily Octopi. She has no hair on her body, only the large and short tentacles atop her head.

Granted many abilities that Octopi natively has, ranging from classic mimicry and camouflage, able to blend into terrain with the incredible shifting of her skin's texture and shape and changing the colors of her body nearly at will, to the ability to spray a dark, sticky ink. Even her limbs are able to sprout suction cups, sticking to surfaces and gripping with remarkable ease.

Although perhaps most notable on a day-to-day basis is her insane flexibility and agility. Her body twists and turns in ways as if her bones aren't completely solid. Even her skull is able to squish, able to squish and climb through incredibly small holes without issue.

However, she does have some fairly obvious flaws. Her ink spray outside of water has a pretty limited range, even if it is super sticky. Changing her body's texture or color too quickly can make her feel quite dizzy and nauseous. Not to mention, if her skin is too dry she ends up feeling itchy and scratchy all over and limits her flexibility quite intensely.

Name: July Merriweather
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Hometown: Newport Beach, California
Hero Name: Ignia

Height: 7 ft.
Weight: 225 lbs (Add +10 lbs for equipment)

Personality: July is a fluffy, air-headed gal who hails from the chill-out coast of Southern California, and a slow-paced surfer with a good head on her shoulders. Despite her seemingly passive nature, she is quick to recognize life-threatening danger, and has been known to jump straight into action. 

July is friendly and easy to get along with, but shies away from advances in romance due to specific standards she keeps for herself and any potential partner. She maintains a professional flair with strangers, but eases up when she’s with friends.

History: The easygoing Merriweather family thrive in the relatively peaceful, sunny beaches of Southern California. The father, Barton, was the inheritor of a beachside business, while her mother, April, was a registered hero and lifeguard who maintained orderliness on the beachfront.

July was born in her namesake month on the exact holiday of independence, and has since enjoyed her birthday with pomp and circumstance. On her 15th birthday, she began the process of becoming a lifeguard like her mother, and had passed her initial entry exams to her local hero high-school with promising marks.

When she’d received her diploma, July was thence recommended to the KMA in the Keys, where she would be tested against the greatest of environmental challenges…

Quirk Name: Iguanaform
Quirk Type: Mutant Transformation
Quirk Description: Iguanaform alters the physical form of the user to be like that of a reptile, causing their limbs to lengthen and skin to develop scales/become more leathery.

Sharp Teeth: The user's teeth are dagger-like, and supplied with a particularly strong jaw, are capable of tearing chunks out of things. These teeth regrow after a short time if lost.

Claws: The user develops hook-like claws at the ends of their fingers and toes that allow them to easily grab and pull objects. However, these claws tend to be sharp and regrow quickly, and must be filed regularly to ensure that there is no accidental injury to themselves or others.
