Plots


Minor

-The World Greatest Hero... one day To the surprise of no one, Farrin is out here trying to become the world's greatest hero. He's spent the last three years in a Hero Prep school, honing his abilities, and the year before that being trained by the heroes of a local hero agency, Above & Beyond. He's determined to be become the enemy of pain, suffering, and loss. 

-The Dojo Farrin 101. Want to get to know the time-turning combat savant with the funny accent? Enter the Dojo. It's the nickname for the grassy hill he trains on at the back of the UAU's Physical Education Grounds. If Farrin isn't with Sada or in class, he's either running the track or up shadowboxing atop his hill. 


Major

- Slaps Farrin on the head Boy does this lad suffer from imposter syndrome. While Farrin always wanted to be a hero like his mother, spending about seven years mostly homeless and with only survival on his time-turned mind left him to do things he's not entirely proud of. Additionally, the adrenaline shot to his aspirations came in the form of sifting dreams. In some timelines, he's seen himself commit heinous atrocities. In others he's been a hero nigh unmatched. He's trying to avoid the former and become the latter, but part of the lad still lives on the streets of yesteryear and doesn't believe he has it in him to be something truly great. Those are the deeds and accomplishments of another Farrin of another time, not this gutter dweller. While the outer layers of heroic onion are all courage and bravery in the face of danger, peel enough away and its self-doubt galore. Here's hoping the heart of this bulb is that of a hero. 

- Across the temporal sea A tug at his heart and a whisper in his ear. Farrin is being drawn to specific individuals for reasons he cannot explain. First there was Sada, who he saw in his dreams far before meeting her. Meeting her in real life has ignited his heart in ways he didn't believe possible. She's become the intrinsic core to his being. The others he's seen though, well, that's a developing situation. Most of the rest, though he doesn't realize it yet, are related to a photo he's carried with him for quite a few years now. Though they draw out the strongest temporal reactions in the time-turner, there are a few other familiar faces he feels some kinship with despite having never met them. Where is this all coming from, and where will it lead them? 

-The World Serpent A tale of heroes and villains eternally retold. Farrin doesn't know it yet, but he's being watched. Has been for quite some time. The villainous syndicate, Ouroboros, is observing, waiting for the right moment to draw the hero out into the open for reasons yet to be revealed. Though he doesn't know of their existence in full, he's stumbled upon their mark, a snake eating its own tail, and battled against the Darkling known as Magister, a threat he could not overcome. Luckily, though for reasons unknown, Magister retreated. Just who are these agents of villainy and what are they after?

[attr="class","body"]

[attr="class","header2"]GOTH GROUPIES 

ABILITY RANK: D-
ABILITY DESCRIPTION: Farrin's recent appearance in the news and growing renown has had something of an unforeseen side effect on the student's ability to operate. That is, he's gained a dedicated following in the form of coordinating goth groupies. Buzzing on about the boy on online forums, snapping pictures of the hero student when he's out and about, trying to flag him down for an autograph. It's all very odd to a young time-turner. Hero society, amirite?

Morgana the Crimson Light

[ Ashley O'rourke ]

AGE: 45 (Deceased)  AFFILIATION: Hero OCCUPATION: Hero, badass mom QUIRK TIER & RANK: Mastery, Master  QUIRK OVERVIEW: Siphon is a speed altering quirk. With it, Morgana can absorb people or objects momentum for her own use. She also commonly absorbs her own momentum to store for later emergencies. Her special move, Shooting Star, allows her to move in excess of 1000mph, to the point where she glows red and her attack leaving severe burns.

CHARACTER OVERVIEW:
The ultimate Irish Lioness. Ashley O'rourke, husband to former hero, Kenneth O'rourke, comes from a long line of Irish heroes. Greater opportunities for her family and son in the United States saw her and her husband move to NYC in her early thirties. While Kenneth continued heroing full time, Ashley took a step back to raise their cub. When Kenneth fell to villainy, something changed in the woman. She remained a caring parent, but fear that Balor might one day come for their son led her to training him early on in the arts of self defense and combat in general. Every hour during the week was to be used for the purposes of self improvement. Weekends, she allowed him to still be a kid, not wanting to rob him of anything resembling childhood. As Farrin developed a bit of a violent streak after years being bullied, she feared her son might follow his father's path and so, as much as it pained her, she and Farrin agreed he'd pursue his hero dream, but over in Japan at UA rather than Howlett. Back in the states, she works tirelessly to restore the people's faith in her and her cub even if they believe the two to know where the Demon of the West hides.

Beakurou 

[Barty]

AGE: 41 AFFILIATION: Heroes, Above and Beyond Agency OCCUPATION: "Retired" hero, A&B Head of Security and Receptionist (yes, receptionist)  QUIRK TIER & RANK: Diamond, High Expert QUIRK OVERVIEW: Paw Paw Cannon, is a quirk of raw destructive force. From Barty's "paws" he can fire of shots of sheer kinetic energy capable of ripping buildings apart. His special technique, Pacifista, sees him either create an X shaped shot of that can sweep the field, or a concentrated beam that obliterates all but the toughest foes.

CHARACTER OVERVIEW:
Barty is the loyalty personified. A hero from the days of graduation from UA to his late thirties, Barty was forced into retirement after defeating, but suffering heavy injury from, his villainous nemesis, Sentomaru. The hero, Pinnacle, who he had once mentored took Barty in at Above and Beyond and made him head of security at the Agency, though Barty takes to secretarial work, and mans the front desk all on his own accord. Most find Barty to be quite intimidating, standing at 22 feet tall with a nearly robotic, monotone voice, but in truth he cares to see everyone reach their potential. Unfortunately, his wounds are the source of his odd voice and leave him in a state where he can only use his quirk for a short time before needing some rest. Mechanically, he can use his quirk for about 5 posts before needing one post to rest.   

---

  Pinnacle  

[ Hiroto Yamamoto ]

AGE: 34 AFFILIATION: Heroes, Above & Beyond OCCUPATION: Hero, Agency Founder QUIRK TIER & RANK: Diamond, High Expert QUIRK OVERVIEW: Solar Sphere, is an enhancement and firepower quirk. He's a mini superman capable of flight and tremendous strength, but instead of the other bells and whistles he can create and manipulate fire. Usually he creates a sphere of protection, or ignites himself for increased damage. His special attack, Blue Star, see the flames explode, vaporizing anything caught in the blast. At his level though, he can freely manipulate Blue Star to avoid people, buildings, etc..

CHARACTER OVERVIEW:
Above & Beyond's founder, heroism personified. While Barty handles most of the back end work that goes into A&B, a situation Pinnacle offers to rectify by taking on additional staff but Barty always assures is fine, Pinnacle is out and about in Japan. For two years now he's been coordinating with and old friend, Ashely O'rourke, to help uncover a mysterious organization that Balor the Singularity seems to be associated with. Pinnacle isn't around often, but when he is, villains shouldn't be.  

---

Apogee 

[ Ryuji Nakamura ]

AGE: 20 AFFILIATION: Heroes, Above and Beyond Agency  OCCUPATION: Rookie Hero QUIRK TIER & RANK: Platinum, Adept QUIRK OVERVIEW: Lightning Chariot, a general electrical quirk that allows Apogee to fire arcs of lightning or imbue his weapons with electricity. His special attack, God's Hand, sees him fire off a luminous blue bolt of electricity shaped like a hand and can be manipulated and curved to home in on enemies.

CHARACTER OVERVIEW:
Shiketsu alumnus of three years ago, top of the class. Apogee's progress is slow, but his determination and sheer willpower has always put him ahead of the competition. He has no problem being knocked down seven times as long as gets up eight. Apogee is Pinnacle's star pupil and has been handling local issues as Pinnacle hunts down larger, looming threats. Energetic, trustworthy, cocky.  

---

Genki & Daisuke 

AGE: 7  AFFILIATION: Toys OCCUPATION: Feed me QUIRK TIER & Rank: Diamond, High Expert (in raw power. Only Bronze Beginner in training) QUIRK OVERVIEW: Scan and Relay, is an immensely powerful quirk shared between the twins. Genki can "scan" someone's quirk, stopping them from using it for two posts, and leaving Daisuke to "relay" where he can give someone else, including him or his brother, that quirk. This works even if the target has a quirk already although their knowledge of the secondary quirk will clearly be lacking.

CHARACTER OVERVIEW:
Genki & Daisuke are Pinnacle's nephews. Unfortunately, their parents have recently been robbed from the world at the hands of Balor the Singularity. For whatever reason, the children were taken by the Demon and left to another group of crooks to hand off to a shadow syndicate. before they could be traded off though, Pinnacle tracked them down and saved them. They live at Above & Beyond Headquarters these days. If you take their toys, they'll take your quirk.

Balor the Singularity  

[ Kenneth O'rourke ]

AGE: 47 AFFILIATION: Villain, Ouroboros  OCCUPATION: Fangs of Ouroboros (Lead Fang), Jerk  QUIRK Tier & Rank: Unknown QUIRK OVERVIEW: An Deireadh is a gravity based quirk. The user emits a violet aura within which he can manipulate gravity to whatever degree he wishes. His special move, All Seeing Eye, allows him to open up tears to the void that function like small black holes, sucking everything in. None have crossed to the other side and made it back.

CHARACTER OVERVIEW:
Kenneth O'rourke aka Balor, husband to Ashley O'rourke and father to Farrin O'rourke, is a former New York City based hero who found his origins in Ireland. Back in the emerald isle, he and his wife fought together at Balor the Bright Bearer and Morgana the Crimson Light where they made fairly well known names for themselves. A year after their son was born they moved to New York. Ashley mostly retired while Kenneth join the "Knight of the Round" agency and took on the alias, Lancelot. In the six following years his name soared near the top of the city charts, but on August 1st of his son's seventh birthday something changed. The Bright Bearer fell to darkness and rose, Balor the Singularity. In an event carved into the memory of the west, Balor turned his All Seeing Eye against the city and people he swore to protect, killing the entirety of the Knights of the Round and countless others. Ashley too was wounded in the battle of Time Square though luckily, she survived. Since then, Balor has popped up around the world from time to time to cause massive destruction and mayhem, always to disappear shortly after. He has since been dubbed, The Demon of the West, and his whereabouts are unknown.  

---

  Magister  

[ Jonas Meyer ]

AGE: 26 AFFILIATION: Villain, Ouroboros OCCUPATION: The Fangs of Ouroboros (Second in Command)  QUIRK Tier & Rank: Mastery / Master  QUIRK OVERVIEW: Shadow Sovereign, a shadow generation and manipulation quirk, that allows Magister to create constructs of shadow-make of lethality and durability equal to his rank. His ultimate move, Void Prison, sees a series of chains ensnare his enemies, nullifying their quirk for as long as they're chained up, a maximum of three posts.

CHARACTER OVERVIEW:
Though technically second in command of the Fangs of Ouroboros, being that Balor typically acts alone, Magister is the pseudo-head of the dark syndicate's most elite unit. Cold, calculated, ruthless. The only thing resembling a soft spot for the shadow user is his two brothers, Ferus & Corvidae. Children to poverty, the three Meyer brothers originated in Germany until the passing of their sickly parents. Though Jonas, or Magister, was the second child, his confidence and cunning saw him lead the trio through their younger years. Utilizing their quirks, they stole what they needed and were made into world travelers. Their lives took a turn during their later teens years when the trio had been caught at the hands of a hero in France. Luckily for the Meyers, Ouroboros had taken note of their existence and sprung the trio free. Taking them in afterward, Ouroboros was free to forge the Meyers into the ultimate weapons with Magister once again taking the lead. 

In addition to his quirk, Magister possesses High Expert armed combat, which he uses via shadow constructs, precision, and Expert level physical capabilities. He's also capable of Adept level hand-to-hand combat even should someone prove capable of nullifying his quirk. 

---

 Ferus 

[ Elias Meyer ]

AGE: 24 AFFILIATION: Villain, Ouroboros  OCCUPATION: The Fangs of Ouroboros QUIRK Tier & Rank: Mastery / Adv. Mastery QUIRK OVERVIEW: Shadow Jester, far less friendly than the name implies, the Shadow Jester quirk is a transformative quirk that changes Ferus into a monster of unimaginable power. In addition to immense strength, the beast negates limited causalities, which leads to all forms of ranged attacks, sans those that hurl dense, physical objects, moot. The only thing that hurts this big fella is high impact damage from stocky individuals and dense objects. (Basically, be very strong or throw boulders and the like at him)

CHARACTER OVERVIEW:
The youngest of the Meyer trio and most unpredictable of the Fangs of Ouroboros. Ferus is a wild card if any existed. The most aggressive and least patient of the three, Ferus is a combat savant but is not at all one for waiting. He rarely uses his quirk as Shadow Jester leaves him rather unstable, even by his standards, and almost always requires that Magister restrain him. Instead, Ferus opts to use explosive munitions, specialized coins, which he carries around in a medieval looking coin purse.

If it weren't for Magister, nobody really knows what Ferus would do, a villain to follow his whims over any master plan. To Ferus, all the world is his playground, and people are his playthings. 

Ferus is capable of High Expert hand-to-hand combat and agility. He has Expert precision with his explosive coins which hit for the same rank in damage. His natural durability and physical strength only sit at Adept though. 

---

Corvidae 

[ Tobias Meyer ]

AGE: 27 AFFILIATION: Villain, Ouroboros  OCCUPATION: The Fangs of Ouroboros QUIRK Tier & Rank: Diamond / High Expert QUIRK OVERVIEW: Shadow Raven, a linchpin quirk for the Fangs operation, allows Corvidae to teleport anyone touching or within the shadows of his umbral made ravens from one of the avians to another. This makes catching the Fangs quite difficult. Additionally, his ultimate move, Shadow Plague, sees a number of the bird explode into a green miasma that reduces quirk efficiency by three ranks for three posts.

CHARACTER OVERVIEW:
The eldest of the Meyer brothers. Tobias is perhaps the smartest of the three, willing to play the long game and scheme in the background to see his missions through. An illness in his lungs has left him with a perpetual cough, and saw him defer to his younger brother, Jonas, in their youth as he lacked the same physical capabilities. Still, Corvidae is no slouch, what he lacks in the physical department, he makes up for with layers of endless planning and plots. If there's any threat to his survival it's not illness, but his youngest brother Ferus who drives the plague doctor mad. 

Corvidae has only Adept durability, with strength and speed in the silver tier. With his weaponized cane, he is capable of Adept combat, but without it he's pretty harmless in hand-to-hand combat. 

---

Viper

[ Gerald Cooper ]

AGE: 33 AFFILIATION: Villain, Ouroboros  OCCUPATION: The Fangs of Ouroboros  QUIRK Tier & Rank: Diamond / High Expert  QUIRK OVERVIEW: Jormungandr, a mutation and transformation quirk that grants Viper incredibly physical strength, speed, and durability. Furthermore, Viper proves near impossible to kill as he regenerates at a ridiculous rate. Lastly, he's capable of delivering concentrated doses of venom via his claws, bite, and by spitting it as a ranged attack. This poison causes intense burning damage from within its target for four posts. The transformative side of the quirk actually allows Viper to assume a normal human form for a few hours.

CHARACTER OVERVIEW:
The former second in command of the Fangs of Ouroboros. Viper was the first to join this iteration of the Fangs of Ouroboros, and though he no longer leads the unit, he is often regarded as the Fang's face given his serpentine qualities. Viper, born Gerald Cooper, originates from England, and is the inheritor of a vast quantity of generational wealth. At first, Viper was something of a vigilante, believing in doing good with what he had and putting his privileged lifestyle to use. Failing time and time again though to bring villains to justice, he grew tired of the bureaucracy of the worldwide hero society, that's when Ouroboros made their move in acquiring the young serpent, appealing to his ambitions in creating a better world. Over time the dark syndicate corrupted his moral principles and saw the man descend into outright villainy. Prior to the Meyers arrival, Viper headed the Fangs while Balor was away. 

Viper is capable of Expert "hand-to-hand" combat and has equal precision with spitting his venom.

Chronos 

Nuada

AGE: Unknown AFFILIATION: Mean people OCCUPATION: Not Nice QUIRK Tier & Rank: Unknown   QUIRK OVERVIEW: A time quirk similar to Farrin's except far more powerful. He emits no discernible tell when the quirk is in use. He is immeasurably fast.

CHARACTER OVERVIEW:
There's a problem when even the dark Alter selves of Farrin's Convergence are willing to cooperate with him against a villain. Chronos is that villain. Not much is known aside from the fact that he can cross timelines and drag Alters of other people with him. Something Farrin cannot begin to fathom. He has revealed himself a single time and in that instance, handedly outmatched both Farrin and Sametria. He has the power of god and anime on his side.

[attr="class","header2"]OVERVIEW

» NAME: Farrin O'rourke
» ALIAS: Oberon [Hero name], The Time Turner
» AGE: 18 (Birthday: August 1st)
» GENDER: Male
» SEXUALITY: Heterosexual
» AFFILIATION: Student / Hero

[attr="class","body"]

[attr="class","header2"]PERSONALITY

» POSITIVE TRAITS: ✦ Determined ✦ Courageous ✦ Reliable ✦ Empathetic	» NEGATIVE TRAITS: ✧ Impatient ✧ Cocky ✧ Doubtful ✧ Stubborn
»LIKES: ✦ Sada ✦ Boxing ✦ Irish Mythology ✦ Puns ✦ Running	»DISLIKES: ✧ Responsibility ✧ Math ✧ Bullies ✧ Insensitivity

Farrin is a cocky fella who strives to be his best self. He isn't one to belittle others, but when in a contest, he simply does not back down. A childhood spent in the streets taught him to prioritize survival over all else, that was until he made it to a hero prep school in Japan and met his soulmate in one Sada Tanaka. Still, part of his former "street rat" mentality lingers. To Farrin, kindness and determination are synonymous with success.

Despite his ingrained survival instinct and generally distant mien, Farrin cares all too much. A painful childhood was as rainwater to his heroic roots. He won't admit it, but the time-turner sympathizes with people all too easily. He would claim it's his pride that fuels his need to be the best, and perhaps that is partly true, but his deepest convictions see him wishing to spare others of pain. His most core self prefers to build people up rather than tear them down.

All of that said, Farrin is extremely well-guarded. He shares only among an incredibly small circle. On the other hand, he's prepared to throw himself into the fire to do what's right, even for a stranger. After all, that's what it means to be a hero.

[attr="class","body"]

[attr="class","header2"]APPEARANCE

» HEIGHT: 6'2
» WEIGHT: 182 lbs
» EYE COLOR: Red (covered with golden clock dials when using his quirk)
» HAIR COLOR: Dark brown with a few white strands
» SKIN COLOR: Pale white
» FACE CLAIM NAME: Jae Hyuk
» FACE CLAIM SERIES: Cavalier of the Abyss / Regis Nex

Farrin is a fighter of tall stature, emphasized by an athletic build. His face is framed with dark brown hair interwoven with a few white strands that have grown since his quirk awoke. He has deep red eyes, rumored to somehow have been inherited from a mentor during his hero prep days. Having put some meat on his bones after getting off the streets during his Hero Prep tenure has left Farrin in undeniably great shape. Typically, he can be found in some mix of sleeveless t-shirts and either joggers or shorts. He has slowly developed his own aesthetic since his time with Sada Tanaka, though. Finally, his hero outfit is similar to his workout attire in that, under the long sleeve jacket, he's wearing a black sleeveless, albeit the whole getup is covered in belts used like capture tape.

[attr="class","header2"]HISTORY

A New Day

SPOILER: Click to show

Dear Journal

Honestly, I don't know where to start. New journal, new day, I guess. Still where to begin? Well, I was born in Dublin to the scumbag supreme Kenneth and Ashley O'Rourke. A heroic couple, Balor the Singularity All Seeing & Morgana the Crimson Light. With more opportunities out west, my parents swept up our lives up and made way to New York City. This is when I was still an infant. Things were good at first. Kenneth joined a hero agency, Knights of the Round, that mostly comprised of similar heroes that had moved to the US. Anyway, yeah, things are good until I turn seven. Then dear ol' Kenneth rains death and destruction on lower Manhattan. To this day, I don't know why. Mum made sure I was tended to, then sped out to handle him. She died. This was over a decade ago now, but the wound remains fresh even still. Can't touch the thought without bleeding. Gotta give it to the ol' girl, though; she did damage enough a few remaining heroes managed to apprehend the bastard. He's locked up: haven't seen him since. Good riddance. 

Anywho, turns out life isn't all that easy without parents. They tried to throw me in homes, nana wanted me back in Ireland, but I couldn't leave. Not at the time. I wasn't ready to let it all go. No matter how many times I was caught, I got away. Pretty easy with a quirk like mine. Time's a real bitch, ain't it? Travelled with similar groups of happenstance, just trying to survive here and there, but ultimately I wandered the city's many skyscrapers and sewers alone. I survived. It went well enough until I started seeing things in my sleep. Started seeing myself, but not myself. Bigger, stronger, greater. Doing meaningful stuff. Happy with the perfect, pink-haired dragoness. I kept shoving these visions down and away, but they only came back stronger. Then Barty found me. Apparently, nan wasn't tolerating my living among the unknown. I wasn't inbound for Ireland, though. Barty was an old friend of Mum's, and his quirk left him uniquely qualified to keep me in check, so nan figured it best I go back with him to Japan and remain in his care. 

I fought like hell, but the giant was far faster than he appeared. It kind of worked out in the end. I was trained, and with those visions in mind, the chance to be something more than the bare minimum, to live a life of meaning and value - I guess the idea rubbed off on me. Landed myself in a hero prep school, and you know what? Things got better. I met a girl. She looked so much like the dragoness in my dreams, just a few years younger. I'm not sure how I made it through hero prep, my grades were not the best, but Sada kept me focused. Helped me to be my best self. I think I maybe helped make her a little tougher in turn. I may not have much to me, but I take care of her the best I can. Maybe I can help her be her best self too? Anyway, before long, we were together! Like together together. One layer melted away after the last in her presence. Eventually, I was even interacting with some of the other kids, like Kenta and a few others. I have to keep my guard up. I know it. Taking all the walls down is dangerous, and there's still the gnawing voice in the back of my head that shouts survival above all else, but I'm trying - and I think maybe(?) things are getting better.

I don't know what's to come, but I start UAU next week. Sada and some of the others made it in too. Maybe it's here I'll prove it, not to the world, but to myself. I can do this. I can be like the version of myself I see so clearly in my dreams. I can be the world's greatest hero.

[attr="class","header2"]ITEMS

Smartphone - Barty hooked the lad up with one of those modern smartphones, not that he knows half of what the thing can do.

Pocket watch - a gold pocket watch with a small emerald on the outer case. Family heirloom now. Made by a friend of his parents as a "junior hero tool" for his fifth birthday. The pocket watch has been tuned to Farrin's powers so that it remains accurate even when he slows or hastens time. It also has the current date inside the casing so that Farrin can always tell when he is while sifting.

Backpack - stuffed with all sorts of useful stuff. Outside of books and the like it, it possesses:

Sturdy Flashlight - Handy thing to have. The metal base of the tool makes for a decent blunt weapon when needed. 

Rope - Another useful tool.

Lighter - Never know when you need some fuego

Wedding Ring - A special Claddagh ring waiting for the day he pops the question. She's his heart and his future. 

Hero Outfit - Narratively, it helps protect him from the elements and small amounts of damage. Mechanically, it does nothing. 

Wallet: Not much money in it. He has two small pictures inside, though. One of his mother and one of him and Sada  

A Blurry Photo: The faces are all whited out, but I feel their names on the tip of my tongue. I'm supposed to know them. Why don't I know them?

[attr="class","header2"]QUIRK, ATTRIBUTES, SKILLS, & EQUIPMENT

[attr="class","body"]

[attr="class","header2"]CHRONOKINESIS

QUIRK TYPE: Emitter / Mutation
QUIRK RANK: S-
DESCRIPTION: - Chronokinesis is a time manipulation quirk that allows Farrin to summon temporal fields which alter the flow of time. Additionally, Chronokinesis provides him with a bit of danger sense via small warnings from the future. While Farrin is always in touch with time via the mutation facet of his quirk, it's only when he enters his "temporal state" and exudes small wisps of white flame and emerald lightning that his quirk's true strength is revealed. Essentially Chronokinesis is divided into two domains: Flow and Resonance: 

• Flow: This includes Farrin's ability to summon Temporal Fields within which he may alter the flow of time. These fields have a nearly translucent, emerald hue. Within them, he can alter the speed at which a person or object moves through time, either speeding it up or slowing it down. Once a field is set, it is locked in place for a predetermined amount of time. The type of field is similarly locked in. The major exception to this is Farrin's personal field which is anchored to and moves with him. Additionally, the effects of these temporal fields remain applicable even after a target passes through them, though the duration of the effect varies once outside the field.  This domain modifies Farrin's  speed attribute.
  
  Strictly Narrative:
  

• Resonance: It's an itch at the back of time turner's brain, one that warns him of incoming danger. Sometimes these warnings are clear. Sometimes they aren't. It's not perfect, but when combined with Farrin's accelerated mind, this domain makes it fairly easy to evade most damage coming his way. Narratively this occasionally allows him to view other points in time, both in this timeline and others. Additionally, he occasionally hears a voice not unlike his own that seems to be whispering to him from across time. Sometimes it's helpful. Other times, not so much. 

QUIRK DRAWBACKS: Temporal insanity, better known as Sifting, is the chink in Farrin's temporal armor. Outside of the physical and mental fatigue that comes with using Chronokinesis, when pushing his powers too far, Farrin begins to see divergent realities. Every decision ever made by anyone creates a new timeline, and the more he abuses his power, the more of those timelines he sees at once. He loses track of where and when he belongs as mental/sensory overload distorts his perception. Should he go beyond this point, he will either faint or lose control of his powers, becoming a danger to himself and others. Additionally, Farrin sifts in his sleep, which often bars him from any real rest, hence the constant look of exhaustion. Farrin also seems to move slower at times while outside of his temporal state, though it hasn't quite been pinpointed why yet. It's like something is being drained from him.

Secondly, Farrin's eyes are quite important to his ability to summon fields. While he technically can summon them without seeing his surroundings, they may appear off-target or in the wrong shape. Since the greatest concentration of his quirk factor is behind the eyes as well, damage may reduce the effectiveness of his fields overall too. Lastly, vast and sudden shifts in gravity can dampen his control over the temporal powers causing the effects of his fields to change unpredictably or otherwise weaken.

[attr="class","header2"]THE EMERALD FIST 

ABILITY RANK: A-
ABILITY DESCRIPTION: Growing up on New York City's streets left Farrin quite familiar with the art of the scrap. He was more of a street brawler, but it worked. It's rough growing up on your own. You adapt or die. Once scooped up by Barty, though, ol' nan demanded the hero teach Farrin the fighting form of his mother. Dornálaíocht, Irish bare-knuckle boxing. Having spent years honing his abilities while in Hero Prep, Farrin is pretty well-versed in a variety of combat styles. Additionally, he's added elements of other Irish martial arts including Speachóireacht (kicking techniques) and Coraíocht (wrestling / grapplin). Rumors have it he can fight fairly well even when deprived of some of his senses. He calls his personal fighting style - the Emerald Fist.

Entrance Exam: Cold Front

"If you feel yourself hitting up against your limit, remember for what cause you clench your fists"

OOC: Good luck!

TAGS:

UAU's Entrance Exams. Hundreds had applied to Japan's greatest Hero University, but only a few dozen were offered a chance at the exam, and far fewer were expected to pass. Kubo stretched at the front of the room, readying for the challenge ahead. Where others sought their courage or fell before their fears, he stood confident. He was ready - had been training for years now. This exam was all that stood between him and the prestigious of hero academies. How much longer now before the esteemed university clued them in on the particulars of the coming exam? Or had the test already begun? Was the wait simply one more measure with which to separate the wheat from the chaff?  

Finally, the large screen at the head of the room flickered on. It framed one of UAU's more famous heroes, SuperNova, rumored to be one of the greatest pyrokinetic types in the nation. This wasn't the first time he'd given this little speech, and wasn't likely to be the last. Still, he firmly believed in its worth. 

"Greetings, hero-aspirants! I hope you're all ready, for the exam is about to begin," he would stop with a brief pause. "I won't hold you up with many words of wisdom and inspiration today. You know why you're here. It's up to you to prove you have what it takes, not only to us, but yourselves, to become heroes. Now, let's get to it. Beyond the gates, you'll find Grounds Beta, a mock city of substantial size. For the purposes of this exam, the city has been hit by a cold front of villainous nature. You are the first responders, and as such, have been tasked with rescue operations and villain containment," SuperNova would pause again, allowing the applicants to digest the first details.

"As I said, behind this storm is a villain, Glacier, who has initiated an all-out attack on the city. You'll find enemies of robotic nature and otherwise playing the part of our main Glacier's underlings, all looking to cause damage and bring harm to the people. Speaking of which, you will also find a number of robotic dummies and actors in need of rescue. Defeating villains, both high and low, and rescuing civilians will earn you a varying number of points by which you shall be judged. Rescued civilians must be returned to the marked area just beyond the gates which shall act as a safe zone," SuperNova would give the students another moment. Through various cameras and sensors, he could see each and every one of them. Some appeared ready to vomit. Others were hopping in place, prepared to dart straight into the thick of it.  

"At any point, you may return here to conclude your participation in the exam, but remember that your fellow UAU applicants may be out there accumulating more points by performing heroic actions, and there are only so many points to go around. There are no requirements to see the exam completed other than to do your best, but those that score below a certain threshold - shall fail. Remember why you're here. Whatever it is that drove you to UAU's gates, clutch it close. Draw strength from it. Give it your best, and go beyond Plus Ultra!" 

Without another word the gates would open, marking the beginning of the exam. Half the students, Kubo included, immediately poured out of the waiting area and into the frigid cold of the mist beyond. Dusting snow had covered the interior of the city, while the outer edges were accosted by frigid winds. Power lines were blown over into some of the mock buildings, within which there were dummy androids calling out for help. Various villain robots patrolled the streets looking to stir up some trouble, and deeper within the storm there were Glacier's ice clones lining the rooftops of some of the buildings.

The exam had begun.

OOC

"Everything is theoretically impossible until it's done." 

Hey all! So here's a quick summary of the details covered above. There is one "big villain" in the city, but you are not required to defeat him to pass the exam (he's designed to be pretty difficult). Likewise, there are robotic villains, like in the source material's exam, that are causing trouble as well as some of Glacier's ice clones. That said, there are far more dummies and actors throughout Grounds Beta that are just acting as civilians in need.

You do not need to interact with the applicant NPC, Kubo, unless you wish to. He's really only here for me to interact with you on the applicant side if needed. That may come in the form of help or hindrance. There are also other student NPCs that you may use to some degree (just don't go having them do illogical things like throw the exam just to help your character or anything else that ridiculous).

As for the environment, there is a thick, frigid fog wafting around Grounds Beta and bringing with it some heavy winds. Snow is beginning to dust the inner parts of the city. As stated above, rescued civilians need to be returned to a designated "safe zone" just outside the gates that lead into the grounds from the waiting area. Feel free to call hits on robotic villains or any smaller threats. If you have any other questions, feel free to DM me or drop a message in our group chat. The exam should feel difficult ICly, but I'm always willing to change things up to accommodate your cool scenes and character moments as long as it's nothing outlandish (no displaying All Might levels of strength in an entrance exam xD). Most importantly, have fun!

Glacier

Junichiro Sugiyama

AFFILIATION: "Villain" QUIRK RANK: S- (mostly utilizing it for the cold front, will go up to A+ in combat) QUIRK OVERVIEW: "Cryomancy" is a cold quirk that allows the user to summon ice and a thick, chilled fog. He can use this to fire projectiles or create weapons and armor. Additionally, he can create ice clones of himself. As an ultimate move, he can become an ice golem where his strength, endurance, and icy "firepower" are increased.

CHARACTER OVERVIEW:
Though he'd rather be out in the field, Glacier has volunteered to play one of the villains as UAU's request for this exam. Too lazy to come up with an alternate name, Glacier is just using his hero alias as a villain name. His preferred method of attack is to beset his enemies in his frigid fog, which he can sense them through, to slow them down and dampen their senses, then strike hard and fast with his ice clones. 

AWARENESS: B- (A+ within the cold front)

Kubota Kohaku 

AFFILIATION: UA applicant QUIRK RANK: B QUIRK OVERVIEW: Kubo's quirk, Umbral Arms, allows him to manifest dark gauntlets around his arms, with which he can utilize extremely powerful black lightning attacks. Even after firing this black lightning, Kubo maintains limited control over the attacks, allowing him to change their trajectory to some extent. Additionally, by clapping his hands together, he can cause a small yet incredibly powerful shockwave AoE around himself.

CHARACTER OVERVIEW:
Kubota Kohaku, or Kubo, is a driven and cocky hero aspirant that attended one of Japan's many Hero Prep schools. His prior education in heroics has left him quite confident, believing himself far and ahead of the rest of his cohort. That said, he will work with others if it serves to benefit himself. Otherwise, he's just as likely to be a hinderance.

Where before it was mostly for show, only capable of mitigating minor damages, Kei Hada has implemented reinforced materials to see Farrin safe in the face of villainy! The suit can now deflect most bullet fire, elemental attacks, and all sorts of damages, which means Farrin isn't only hard to hit, but can now tank blows with the best of them. Mechanically, this simply replaces Farrin's Constitution with the rank of his hero outfit!   [/div]

Background

Gather around the fireside children, grandpappy has a story to tell. Once upon a time a bunch of knuckleheads from around the globe ventured to UA, one of the world's most prestigious hero schools, to embark upon the path of justice. They each had their reasons, some to battle villainy, others to change society, a few simply wishing to escape the past, what they all had in common was the inner compulsion to bring a little light into a world fraught with darkness. A motivation they shared with many students. What set them apart from their peers was a single variable, one single moment where the threads of fate found themselves tangled and our knuckleheaded soon-to-be family happened upon one another. They were six juniors who shared a few hours of mischief, misunderstanding, laughs, and most importantly the great unifier... food.

An unspoken bond had been established that day, one that would be tested by trauma, secrets, heartbreak, jealousy, and many a haunted past. Together though, these students looked to push each other above and beyond, even further than the Plus Ultra of UA's motto. If the world itself turned against them, these six would stand together to face it head-on. Luckily, that was never the case. Instead, they were often met with exams, rivalries, and all the other good fun stuff that came with going to superhero high school. Still, while our six heroes were already family at heart, they'd gone quite some time without a name. Enter: the Hero Festival where two of our video game-savvy Abes recalled a certain team that played a water-based ball game of their own. Instantly connecting this game with the Murduh Ball challenge, it had finally been decided. These few, this band of brothers and sisters would go forth under the banner of the Zanarkand Abes!

Fast-forward to today and you'll find the Abes getting into all sorts of trouble. From back alley brawls to a live recreation of Mario-Kart, the Abes are everywhere and cooking up an endless storm of trouble. Fighters, bakers, pranksters, there's a touch of everything in the Abes and they wouldn't have it any other way. Of course, as I've already told you, none of this is to say they're without their problems. Dark tides have been brewing as superhero syndrome affects all out at sea. With tight lips and monstrous compartmentalization capabilities, each of the Abes holds onto something they'd rather not share with the others. Where this might lead, nobody knows, but I'm sure they can handle it if they just stand together.

Enough with all the doom and gloom though! Here's a fun bit, while our six co-founders will certainly always share a bond, their arrival at UA has sent ripples across the pond. For better or worse their presence has been made note of and while they're always ready to stand together, this should never suggest they don't appreciate the friendship of others! All are welcome in the Dojo... if you just pass some oddly specific and mostly arbitrary requirements set by a specific member, or if you're chill. If you're chill, we're good in here.

Farrin O'rourke (Active) 

He whose hands are rated E for everyone. This timey wimey lad and Irish-American New York native transferred over to UA a few weeks into the semester. Where he expected to run the three-year clock solo, he was instead pleasantly surprised to finally find himself a friend group after daring to venture outside of his dorm room for reasons other than training or class. Since then he's garnered a reputation as the collector of "Senior Spar Cards" after deciding the best way to grow was to challenge UA's best and brightest among the graduating class. Like most of the Abes he's a little mum on his life before hero school but otherwise is an open book with no real filter. A lead student in hero studies, upper quartile in academics, and a top-notch combatant, Farrin runs through life with an all-work and some-play attitude.

Hatake Zenkai (Active)

*slaps the roof* This right here is one splody boy. Hatake Zenkai, yet another New York native that crossed the ocean to attend UA in preparation for the hero's journey. Zenkai, or "Zen," as he’s called by friends, is known for three things: One, simple solutions, & they haven’t failed him yet. Zen also sits among the lead students in hero studies, even if his pure academics leave much to be desired. The point is, he will fight you and make things go boom. Two, he is lord-commander of UA's prankster division. What prankster division, you ask? Never heard of it. These lips are sealed. You can't make us talk! Haru run!! Moving on. Three, well.... we'd like to REALLY emphasize simple solutions. Let's just say he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but who needs a sharp tool when a hammer can do just about anything? Okay, in truth, we’ll admit he can be clever in his own right, but mum's the word… it's our little secret.

Mateo Blasco (Missing)

The power of A+ grades in the palm of his hand. No, literally, this kid can slap perfect test scores into you with one hand while taking a sip of his morning espresso despresso with the other. Mateo’s smart… like super smart. Scary smart! In short, his quirk allows him to transfer information at the touch. Additionally, this boy can’t forget anything…. ever. Despite that big brain, or perhaps because of it, he’s plagued with self-doubt. Fear’s clawed clutches have dug into the boy’s brain as he worries that his friends with more physical quirks might one day leave him behind. No worries, though. They won’t, even if he doesn’t believe it. His fear aside, Mateo has proven to be one of the most potentially dangerous kids at school and is a true hero at heart. With a little courage and a lot of work, he might just come to believe it too.

Haru Tachibana (Deceased)

Dubbed “UA’s local sunshine” or “UA’s sweetheart” by a myriad of students. Haru is known far and wide, or at least as far and wide as UA goes. She can be a bit of a klutz, but truth be told, it only adds to her charm. Also, she’s part beetle and has sap in place of her blood and all other bodily fluids. Yeah, it doesn’t really help much in the klutz department, but lord help those who catch her amber-clad hands. Unbeknownst to her, she has like a dozen people crushing on her, including the Abes’ own Zenkai. Shush, you didn’t hear it from us. More importantly, she’s a helping hand to all in need! If you’re new to UA, expect a plethora of treats and other sugary goods waiting for you in the dorms upon arrival. Though, that’s not to say she’s all sunshine and rainbows. She comes with her own warning label that reads something like this - Warning: has the big trauma and refuses to acknowledge or talk about it. Yeah, we might be seeing a little bit of a trend here involving Abes tucking away all that dang trauma. Bunch of dummies if you ask me.

Leo Springs (Active)

Fast, fast, fast. Gotta go fast! If quirks had cousins, Leo and Farrin would most certainly be family. While some might think Leo a simple speedster, the truth is he’s a timey wimey lad himself. This boy can manipulate tachyons to effectively accelerate his pace even if that’s not quite what’s going on. While his quirk is similar to his fellow Abe though, his personality couldn’t be more different from the rest. Leo is genuinely upbeat, and while slightly aloof, he’s always well-meaning. Additionally, he’s among those combat-oriented students who push their physical limits on the daily. Leo runs like few others are capable of and is an aspiring martial artist, one looking to spread as much good in the world as humanly possible while shielding all from the bad. If there is any deep darkness to the boy, he’s hidden it better than most… so far.

Wrenn Powell (Deceased)

It's a bird. It's a plane... no, it’s a super soldier avian girl dumb*** . Okay, but more seriously, Wrenn probably stands as the Abes’ greatest enigma. She’s a girl of very few words and even fewer f**ks to give. More often than not, she’s simply dragged around to partake in the Abes’ antics. Born into a military family and raised across a dozen bases, she’s been bombarded by the oddities of school life, especially by Zen, who swears they’re best friends…. we’re still not sure if this is true or not. Anyway, she’s a crack shot with a gun, and those avian features don’t hurt either, except when they do due to all those hollow bones. This one has a secret even she isn’t aware of yet, hint hint, it’s in this bio. In any case, under all those callous layers is a young hero who simply wants more out of life but is haunted by the tick-tock touch of time, that is to say, she doesn’t have many years of life ahead of her. Here we have yet another secret hidden even from the Abes.
