GAME ON! HP: ▰▰▰▰▰▰▱▱▱▱ 60/100 Taro regained control. Whether it was because the person got cold feet or they just wanted to sit back and enjoy the ride, he didn't quite know, but he didn't mind either way. It just meant he got to play again.
Authorities would arrive in the alley to the sound of several bursts, and eyes turned to the sky to spot the digital man fly to the roof of the building. Well. Less flying and more walking mid-air to more solid ground. His form would distort with each step he took until he- slammed against the wall just below the edge of the structure. He grasped the edge to pull himself up the rest of the way.
Voices shouted below as Taro waited for his body to stabilize. "You doing ok-kay there?" He tilted his head as he waited for a response.
It never came. Huh. Did the stranger leave entirely? It would be a bummer if they did. He hoped they would at least say goodbye first.
Stomps sounded in the distance. The cops must've found the stairs. Taro sighed. Guess he should get moving.
Powering up his boots again, he leapt from roof to roof and let the night take him.

My contributions! This list could grow as I come up with more.
SCRATCH & WIN The keratin in the user's nails are replaced with concentrated versions of chemicals used in matches, allowing them to leave claw marks that explode moments later. They're so sensitive that the marks can even be made and ignited mid-air.
Their nails grow faster than an average person's and they have to take great care with cutting them.
drone on and on (and on). The user can put people within earshot in a trance as long as they keep talking. Those affected will still have some motor function, able to walk when guided. Keywords such as names and topics that bring out a lot of emotion from the person can be used to snap them out of the trance.
Outside of battle, the user's words are clipped and they fall back to sign language if they have to explain something, so they don't accidentally hypnotize whoever they talk to.

GAME ON! HP: ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ 95/100 The noise died down significantly. Strange, when he was pretty sure a fight was going on moments ago. Was the blast so big that it killed everyone? A commendation to his boss' efforts with the hammer, but RIP her if he blew her up when he was supposed to rescue her. Whoops. Human life really was too fragile.
Taro stepped into the room, eyes drawn to the body that lay within. He stared at the noticeable crack on the man's head, tilting his own. Well. It wasn't Retsu. Must be the guy she was up against then.
He turned his head to the subtle shuffling on the ground. Little crystals, drawn to the stranger as if magnetized. Meaning there was a non-zero chance the man was still alive. But where was his boss?
An explosion then. Not knowing whether it was caused by friend for foe - Retsu liked her bombs but explosions were surprisingly commonplace in the underworld (sorry boss) - Taro drew himself to full height and held his hammer in both hands before making his way to the door. He peeked out into the alley towards the cause of the sound, and not too far away was-
Oh. His boss.
Taro made no attempt at quieting his stride as he ran towards her "Boss-" Only slowing once he was close enough and could take in her condition. "Damn. You look like shit." Crouching down, he offered a hand. "I got the guy I think you were fighting, but he's not gonna be down for long. Think you can stand? The van's not too far from here."
Unknown to him was what would happen if she touched his flickering form, its sturdiness only proven with the hammer still held in his other hand.

GAME ON! HP: ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ 95/100 Extractions weren't something Taro was involved in at the best of times. He had no healing ability. No medical experience. His teleporting only worked on himself. The most he could do was act as a distraction so someone more suited for the job could get the person away. You know, since the main draw of his services was the fact he didn't need to worry about his own life.
But now, not only was he tasked on a mission to fetch one Bakuretsu and return to the base with her, he was receiving this task while he wasn't exactly... stable.
Not talking mentally. Depending on who you talked to he'd always had a few screws loose. It was a given with the whole can't-die-or-feel-anything thing going on with him.
But what was strange was he was unstable physically. His form had been flickering nonstop for the past few hours. No cause as far as he knew - he wasn't carrying magnets on his person nor was he constantly getting injured. At least he thought so. If he was getting hurt he shouldn't have lasted the hour. His balance was also fine.
In any case, whoever was giving him this mission didn't see wholly concerned with his state. As long as he could move, he could work. This must be what the working class not being able to afford sick days looked like.
Wack.
The getaway vehicle dropped Taro off not far from the location. He bounded for the wall to lean his ear against it. And, once confirming that something was going on inside with no regard on what that something was, his hammer glowed as he smashed it on the concrete. An explosion rocked the wall and large amounts of debris was sent Hedgerock's way.
When the smoke cleared, Taro poked his head through the newly made hole, not even paying attention to the hero in the room. "Boss? You here?"

GAME ON! HP: ▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱ 0/100 As tentacles tangled themselves together - say that five times fast - due to the hero's quick thinking with varying their speeds of approach, Taro at one point held his hammer in one hand to draw his sword with the other, slicing down at the tendrils that were not fully frozen by the woman's Quirk. Still he got clipped from time to time, but at least they weren't as lethal as the initial hit.
He hummed at her warning. "Eh. Don't need to worry about safety usually. I can't feel pain like you guys do." Time and again he was reminded of how fragile human life was, and how many just weren't aware of how likely it was for him to outlive them all. Sustenance unnecessary. Infinite in age. Who knew what the future would hold?
A wet smack on his face pulled Taro to the present. What was he doing again? Oh right, creature killing.
Surprisingly enough, it was as if the number of limbs were letting up, each splash a sign that another had dropped in the water lifeless. Yuki Onna's precision contrasted his brutality, which was all well and good here. He tilted his head when she spoke into her phone but the conversation didn't hold his interest for long. Not much to glean from half of it- especially when it sounded like someone calling for help. Heroes must get those all the time.
At her question, Taro blinked before sheathing his blade with a smile. "Oh yeah. Check this out." Grasping his hammer in both hands, he twisted the handle. An orange glow spread across the head and smoke began to escape the exhaust the weapon was equipped with. All it took was a swing once he got close enough.
A crack on the monster's shell from his strength alone, followed immediately by an explosion.
Shrapnel shot out in all directions from the creature as the blast went clean through its armour. Something Taro couldn't avoid due to being the one to deliver the blow, but it's why the weapon was perfect for him. He didn't get hurt. He was still sta—
A pincer jabbed into his abdomen, as if the mutant mollusk wanted to take at least him down with it. Ah crap. Should've known something else was unnatural about it beyond its size. "D-d-d-damn. So c-clos-s-se." With little preamble his body blinked into nothing. At least it was one less threat the remaining hero had to contend with.
So much for that game though. Maybe another time.

GAME ON! HP: ▰▰▰▰▰▰▱▱▱▱▱ 50/100 Well this was a problem. Much as Taro assumed obstacles like this existed in golf to for that additional challenge, he imagined that they usually weren't as destructive as the tentacle monster was being. Not to the point of said obstacles potentially killing the players at least. If he were anyone else, he likely wouldn't have survived the hit. As it happened, he simply sat up on the sand, unharmed once his body pulled itself together. He called out to the woman charging at the creature. "Nah, I'm fine. You wanted help right?" Using his hammer as a crutch, the digital being stood up. "That thing attacked me, which means it has to die now." Perhaps he was too casual with that declaration. In any case, Taro took note of the limbs Yuki Onna froze and, finding opportunity in an immobile target, he struck. One tendril after another was shattered by his hammer as he followed behind the hero towards the source, his stride not slowing despite further hits on his person by the creature. The tentacles meanwhile just seemed to keep coming. As if for every one limb was lost, two more took its place. They were getting close though. That much was certain. For a blue shell emerged from the water's surface, followed by a blood-curdling scream.

GAME ON! HP: ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▱▱▱ 65/100 As the shark roared before diving into the bay away from the woman's retaliation, Taro blinked in surprise. She accepted his invite? Huh. Maybe heroes knew how to have fun after all. Assuming she was one of course. Easy to tell what with her pulling people out of danger and all.
Speaking of person, she was saving them again from a watery grave, stomping the slippery limb that latched on into letting go. Taro tilted his head at the lying man in thought before shaking his head. "Nah. That guy's too big to be a club I think. Would be weird to hold him like one." It was definitely an option but he wouldn't want her to break her back while playing. Too bad he couldn't tell she didn't mean to play golf in the literal sense.
Taro's eyes rested on the woman as she introduced herself and he gave an easy smile. "It's chill. Name's Player One." He remembered not to tell his real name during a crisis at least. "And I thought you were free to play?"
As one limb slipped back into the water, several large tentacles erupted in its place. Some would slam down in the sand in rage, while others would swipe sideways. One smacked Taro in the face and he fell to the ground hard.
He just laid there as he waited for his body to get a grip and stop doing the staticy thing. "I g-get it though. Hard to do that-t in these c-c-conditions."

GAME ON! HP: ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ 95/100 The thing with golf, Taro was starting to discover, was that it was best played with opponents. There were whole tournaments revolving around the sport, where golfers duked it out by trying to get their balls in the hole in the least shots possible. They weren't quite as violent as what he was doing now but the people were competitive all the same. When the grunt tried to invite others to play though, they were usually too busy running from some human fish monster or whatever.
When a white-haired someone called out, he looked around him before pointing at himself. "Oh, that's to me. I'm fine." Just as he said that a larger-than-usual lamprey latched its teeth to the tip of his shoe. No punctures thankfully what with them being well-built. Nonetheless, Taro still lifted his leg and activated the rocket portion of his boots, blasting the creature to bits.
As Taro lowered his leg, he came to a realization that this person he's never met could play with him. She seemed busy but there was no harm in asking right? So the digital being tailed her, albeit in a slower manner. He was in no rush. "Say, do you wanna play some golf? I don't have an extra club but you could find something to use around here right?"
Meanwhile the hero's colleague was face down, unconscious and unmoving. For a little while at least. But soon enough they were getting dragged towards the water, with something extending from the water attached to their leg pulling them.

GAME ON! HP: ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰ 100/100 Pandemonium at the beachside. Urchins rolled out of the water to chase screaming sun tanners. Eels wrapped around several bystanders and electrocuted them. A large shark was shaking some armoured guy in its maw like a chew toy. In general, Tokyo's renowned heroes had a lot of work cut out for them if they wanted to get rid of the latest set of monsters.
Meanwhile, Taro was having fun.
He readied his hammer. "Fore!"
And a nautilus flew through the air before landing in the water. It slowly crawled towards him so that counted as an attack on his person, therefore he was good to hit it. Though he should probably find a smaller target than the entire bay. Oh well. He'll figure something out eventually.
A second mollusk joined the first in its impromptu flight lesson. open

That they’re capable of living forever so long as they don’t get physically hurt? Well, Taro’s indifference is one reaction to it.
Despite his flashy appearance, he carries himself in a lackadaisical manner. He moves as if he’s in no rush to reach his destination, and that’s because he rarely is. Time is meaningless to someone who doesn’t need to sleep. Other than improving his quirk to expand his playing field, there’s not much else for him in terms of goals. Ambition is something he lacks severely, he has to be convinced to do anything beyond lazing around. That being said though, it’s easy to persuade him to be involved in something.
The man is naive to the outside world, his view of it only coming from TV and internet up until he was able to leave his apartment. He’s never had contact with people beyond his roommates and their guests so anyone he comes across is met with an easy grin and compliance to their every whim. He’s not a total lost cause however.
Taro loves to learn. No, really, he soaks up knowledge like a sponge and his memory is surprisingly impressive. Years of being trapped has made him inquisitive of the world and people around him, which can lead to some uncomfortable questions due to his lack of tact. He’s like a child with how mesmerized he is with everything around him.
Overall he just goes with the flow. Without any need for sustenance, he’s not tied down to the motions of a capitalist society, so he’s free to do whatever he pleases as far as he’s concerned.

With a tall athletic build, pointed ears and crystals protruding out of parts of his body, Taro looks like he was pulled right out of a videogame. His jagged horn and tail makes him easy to pick out in a crowd but they’re also just short enough to hide with a good enough disguise. Something to note though is he can’t remove his current outfit due to the nature of his quirk, which consist of a distinct jacket and leather pants among other things. He can layer a coat on top or wear a hat, but his base clothes must remain no matter what. Also distinct is his tattoo of a snake and skull, which covers the entirety of his left arm.
Taro’s appearance in general cannot change at this stage. His hair will always be navy, his eyes always auburn, and no amount of time under the sun will give him a tan. Not even the elements can alter it; neither snow nor rain will stick to him. He has no sense of hygiene but it’s only because he doesn’t need it at all, as he’s incapable of accumulating grime. Who brushes their teeth in a game anyway?
[div][attr="class","taro-title"]HISTORY[/div] If Taro were to be asked what his childhood was like, he would mention that life in general started when he woke up at the age of seven in an apartment, to people he’d never met in his life. This was only half-true, but given the nature of his quirk, it was believable enough.
The whole truth would involve him being born in an apartment complex due to a mother’s debilitating fear of hospitals, them moving out of the country for a new life and Taro’s quirk manifesting on the plane ride there, causing him to blink out of existence as the rules of his mutation were thrust upon him. He lost his life, and as a result he respawned back in his old home, with a new name as his original one had been forgotten. But you know, no one really likes hearing one talk about their death and permanently losing connection with their family.
For a time he was stuck in the apartment, its new residents begrudgingly letting him stay as he literally couldn’t leave. He was good at staying out of their way due to his lack of need for food or water, but over the years they’d come together anyway by proximity, with his roommates turned guardians teaching him basic skills as he couldn’t learn in school. Said guardians would work to pay rent, while he stayed in to take care of chores. It was a mutually beneficial relationship.
The knowledge that he was trapped within the walls of the unit was still on his mind though. It was likely he was never going to get out. That is, until he accidentally dropped a glass one day and heard a ping in his head after it shattered to a million pieces.
It was at that moment when he finally understood the game he’d been forced to play.
With the other residents away, Taro decimated the apartment. Broken chairs, bashed desks, torn paper. Whatever was breakable, he destroyed. Even items that were thought to be durable didn’t last when he truly put his mind to it. The only things that were kept intact were the permanent fixtures like the windows and door. Features that belonged to the landlord rather than the inhabitants who rented the place.
Eventually he stopped to test the one reason he went through the all the hassle. One step outside the door was all he needed to know he was free. He packed everything he could in a bag and fled, with no destination other than [i]away[/i]. Taro was eventually met with another barrier outlining the city borders but it was fine. He had the whole city to explore now, and he knew how to extend his reach. He simply needed to level up his quirk again.
And as far as he knew, destruction gave the most experience.
[div][attr="class","taro-title"]ITEMS[/div] [b]Spray paint cans[/b] - Graffiti has become a sort of hobby when he discovered it counted towards his game. Vandalism in the form of art, how nice.
[b]Katana[/b] - A basic weapon for his various misdeeds.

[div][attr="class","taro-ability-title"][b]AVATAR[/b][/div][i]Mutation / C-[/i]
Taro is, in a sense, not real. A being of hard light instead of flesh and blood, he is a playable character in his own game of life. Taro has the following traits of a video game character: [ul type="disc"][li]He no longer ages, and can't eat, drink or sleep. Sustenance matters not in his game.[/li][li]He can't die. Well, he can, but whenever he does he respawns in his birthplace: an apartment in Tokyo.[/li][li]He has a health bar of 100. Any damage he receives knocks down this bar instead of give him injuries. This number is dictated at the time of the hit, which is larger the harder and more direct it is.[/li][li]He incurs the same amount of damage no matter where he’s hit. There’s no bonus points for headshots when it comes to him. In the same vein, punching his arm will be like punching his face.[/li][/ul]
[div][attr="class","taro-ability-title"]DRAWBACKS[/div] You'd think you'd be perfect if you're always in peak condition without ever getting tired. You'd be wrong. [ul type="disc"][li]Despite being digital, he's still a solid being and can be pushed down and knocked back as such.[/li][li]His mutation has an adverse reaction to magnetism and pure electricity.

Taro knows how to fight. With his involvement in his fair share of scraps, he can hold his own well enough. There's a sense of ruthlessness in his fighting style that catches others by surprise, and may not bode well for what he's capable of in the future.[/div]

Created by [i]the[/i] bomb specialist, the rocket jumpers are a pair of propulsion boots large enough to be worn over Taro's regular boots. They allow him to jump higher or launch explosive kicks depending on what or who is on the other end of the rockets.
To ensure they don't get stolen and used against him, they're purposely made to injure the wearer, something only Taro can resist unharmed due to his Quirk. They still drain his HP though; too much use and he could very well lose another life from it.[/div]

Forged by [i]the[/i] explosives expert, the Superior Sledge is a two-handed hammer with engines and reinforced plating built into the head. The weapon is capable of dealing fast, explosive blows without bursting itself in the process.
To ensure it doesn't get stolen and used against him, its handle is purposely made to burn the wearer over time, something only Taro can resist unharmed due to his Quirk. They still drain his HP though; too much use and he could very well lose another life from it.[/div]

GAME ON! HP: ▰▰▰▰▰▰▱▱▱▱ 55/100 So there was a limit to the explosiveness of these things regardless. Which was fair, you could only fit so much fuel into the head of the weapons, and it wasn't like someone could just refill it while it was in use. That would just be too convenient. Dropping his used up hammer to the floor - with the head crushing someone's hand in the process - Taro had a choice to make. An important one too, given the fact that taking one would mean losing the chance to use the other. Really he was just surprised that Retsu wasn't afraid of the chance that whatever she was left with might blow up in her face. So maybe he should take the one that was more blow-up-in-your-face-y since he comes back whenever he dies. Thing was, he couldn't judge by looks anymore. The biggest hammer he picked up was a one and done deal. The most unassuming was the most reliable in terms of boom factor. So really, choice was an illusion and he might as well do a coin flip. Taro crouched to dig into one of the guard's pockets, smiling once he procured said coin. Standing again, he balanced it on his thumb. "Heads say I take the one on your right." He flicked. The coin whirled around until it clattered to the ground. "Heads." Even luck wanted him to have the videogame-y hammer. Go figure. Once it was in his hands, the digital being sent her a two finger salute. "Will do boss. I'll take what I can and catch up with you." Another door was kicked and he made his way through, grinning as the footsteps came closer. "Have fun."

GAME ON! HP: ▰▰▰▰▰▰▱▱▱▱ 55/100 The way Taro operated in these fights was pretty simple. If he was hit, he'd hit back. If he wasn't targeted, he didn't bother to make a move. Much like an RPG, he wasn't a threat until he was engaged with, all because of some advice he heard once about never becoming the aggressor. Make crossing him a mistake or something. He didn't quite understand it as acting first would yield a bigger result in his eyes but he saw no reason to change how he played.
Thing was, he just got shot, meaning he was good to react to it. Retsu did want him to test his hammer more either way.
Pushing himself up once his body stabilized, the digital being raced forward, hands gripping his hammer tightly as he swung it towards one of the guards' chest. Another resounding boom sounded. While it didn't rock the place since it connected with human instead of concrete, it still sent the man flying to the wall.
Another shot to his shoulder. It was the second guard, quaking in her boots, likely afraid of meeting the same fate as her coworker. Well she shouldn't be shooting if that was the case.
Oh well. Her mistake.
Taro jabbed the handle of his hammer into the guard's stomach before he turned to bring its head down on her head, knocking her to the floor. No explosion this time. "Aw. Think it's out of juice," he'd comment, showing no signs of remorse towards either of the bodies he disposed of. "Loot's probably through the door though."
