South Musutafu – 1:26 PM
Ryoken wanted to scream and shout, to beg for help.
But no noise left his mouth.
Instead, that demon was in control. It ran rampant down the streets, sending fire swarming in every direction. Ryoken screamed and cried in response. The Hellhound just growled at him.
It was fucking torture to watch through his own eyes.
The Hellhound sighted its next target, a lady in purple. Ryoken begged for it to stop but it was too late, it was already charging at the helpless woman who only screamed in horror. As soon as the Hellhound opened its jaws, a fist collided with its maw, sending it into the nearest building. The woman gazed up at her saviour, seeing a red flowing cape attached to a white bodysuit with blue trousers and the number one million plastered over his chest.
"Do not fret citizen, for you are safe now" the Hero said, a big smile plaster over his face.
"Le Million!" She gasped but stopped suddenly as she was scooped up and carried bridal style by another Hero.
"Apologies madame, but this battlefield is no place for a civilian. Please hold on tight while I escort you away from here" a man in what appeared to be robotic white armour said, rushing off with her to get to a safe distance.
"Thank you Ingenium," Le Million said as the demon slowly stalked out of the smoking remains of the house it was sent into. It growled angrily at the Hero who stood there with a perplexed expression. The demon barked while Ryoken screamed inside his own mind.
It then pounced.
Mirio had no idea what he was up against. This…creature appeared to be some sort of large wolf creature that was easily the size of a lion, covered in raging orange flames and fur that was as black as the night. Whatever it was though, it was angry. VERY angry. The creature lunged at him and Mirio instantly activated Permeation, phasing through the creature as it attacked. The creature skidded to a halt, turned, and launched a jet of fire from its maw at Mirio. Mirio was already rushing at the creature, Permeation active as he went on the offensive. The fire phased straight through the Hero who's smile grew wider as he pulled his arm back. Mirio was surprised as he saw a glint in the creature's eyes, it leaping back from the attack. That didn't halt Mirio however who sent a strong punch straight into the creature's face, almost taking a chunk out of it. It was only when Mirio deactivated Permeation that he realised his mistake. Mirio should have realised that the fire around them wasn't normal, it was something else entirely as Mirio began to cough and splutter as toxins entered his lungs. The creature lunged at Mirio again, it's face bruised and battered now. Mirio activated Permeation once more as the creature passed through him yet again.
He was in trouble now. With the smoke and the ill effects of Permeation, he'd suffocate in a short while. Mirio activated Permeation through his full body, sinking down as the creature lunged and missed again, growing angrier by the second. Within, seconds, Mirio deactivated Permeation and shot up like a rocket, out of the ground and away from the smoke and fire. With some distance in between them now, Mirio sucked in a deep breath of fresh air before turning back towards the creature which was barking like mad at him.
"DETROIT SMASH!" A flash of green shot past him as a blast of air was sent hurtling towards the creature and fire, extinguishing it completely and clearing the toxic smoke that poisoned the air around them. Mirio sighed in relief. While being a capable Hero in his own right, the problem with this particular fight was the matchup as the combined effects of both Quirks would have caused him to suffocate. Mirio landed and rushed over to his saviour who was looking around.
"Le Million, did you see where it went?" The Hero asked, looking around frantically.
"Sorry, I didn't" Mirio answered. "You were so fast that I couldn't see anything." The Hero pouted.
"Aww shoot. I must have used too much power" he said. "Still…I wonder what type of Quirk that was. There haven't been many full body transformation Quirks in recent years. Still, was it an Emitter or a Mutant. It looked like a Mutant, but I can't be too sure. And what was that fire about? I've never seen a fire with that kind of smoke or-"
"Midoiya-Kun, you're muttering again," Mirio said. Izuku turned red before sheepishly rubbing his head with a metallic silver arm. It seemed that despite the persona he'd put on as the new Symbol of Peace for the last couple of years, Izuku was still Izuku at heart. Currently, he was wearing Costume Delta, consisting of his signature green jumpsuit with black lines running along it in various patterns, black iron soles covering his legs and feet along with his signature red shoes. Additional features included a red cape and black utility belt along with with with an elbow long white glove that was worn on his left arm while his right was encased in a type of metallic silver armour, compliments of Melissa Shield.
"Sorry, Le Million. I'm trying to get over the habit" Izuku said. Mirio let out a hearty laugh.
"Nonsense Midoriya-Kun! Your mumbling is just fine. Still, keep your guard up. That creature had what seemed like a regenerative ability" Mirio said as Midoriya nodded and got into a fighting stance. The two moved carefully through the wreckage, scanning for any injured civilians stuck under rubble; Mirio using Permeation to look through walls and chunks of debris. An explosion diverted their attention and both Hero's narrowly dodged several chunks of debris flying towards them. Mirio could see the creature back on its feet, barking and howling at the pair as fire flowed gently off its body. In a strange sort of way, Mirio thought it looked almost majestic. But still. For that thing to take a Detroit Smash and still be standing was almost terrifying.
"I'm going to end this quickly!" Izuku said, Full Cowl already active as he went in for another punch. But Mirio could never predict what occurred next. The creature whimpered before slumping to the ground, it features changing. Izuku let out a gasp and skidded to a halt as the creature morphed back into a young naked child, around fifteen years of age. "Its…a boy," Izuku said in disbelief. To think one child would be able to cause this much damage. By this time, Mirio had already rushed over and scooped the boy up in his arms.
"He doesn't look too injured, but he's unconscious. Let's take him to Eri to see what she can do" Mirio said.
"Yes, let's go quickly now," Izuku said and the pair rushed off. And as they did, Mirio couldn't help but feel sympathetic for what the boy would go through. With all the recent incidents, it seemed that all Mutants how had a bad name. But despite trying to change the stigma, nothing appeared to be working. Mirio sighed sadly as he approached the waiting medicals unit, silently wishing the boy luck in all his future endeavours.
South Musutafu – 9:09 AM (One week later)
"And so thanks to the efforts of The Number One Hero Deku, most of Southern Musutafu was spared from destruction," a reporter said on the television. Ryoken, now dressed in a black sleeveless top and grey short, watched the screen intensely in his darkroom as the report continued. "We now would like to introduce a leading professor in Quirk research, Doctor Mori." There was a small applause before a man with long black hair wearing a lab coat strode onto the stage. Ryoken growled at him. Why the hell did that monster deserve applause? He was nothing but scum just like the rest.
"Thank you for having me here" Mori answered with a smile.
"It's my pleasure doctor," The reporter said. "Now, many of us are dying to hear your opinion on the current situation with that Demon."
"Of course," Mori answered. "To put it simply, the Demon is the result of a mutation which ended up producing this… 'Mutant' that attacked Musutafu." Ryoken punched the wall hard. How dare he use such a disgusted tone. "While I do wish I could have been on the scene to get a sample of its blood to study, I'm afraid it disappeared. Probably another Quirk of an accomplice." Ryoken almost felt himself smile. If only they knew the truth. "But overall, the world needs to understand that Mutant and certain Transformation Quirks are becoming too unstable. Last month, there were over two hundred deaths of new-born babies in Musutafu alone because their bodies cannot handle the severe mutations that they have inherited. Additionally, Mutants are also wreaking havoc in the city as well. Over fifty percent of crimes are caused by Mutants alone. Something needs to be done about this immediately."
"I do understand" agreed the reporter. "The recent actions of certain Mutants have caused quite a stir in the country. I've even heard word of segregation becoming an option." Mori nodded.
"Yes. What we need to-" Ryoken shut off the television mid-sentence. He really didn't care for listening to a bunch of racism. He then heard it. the Hellhound calling in his head. It was barking. It wanted to be let out. It was angry. Ryoken gripped the wall as sweat began to trickle down him.
"No…" he whispered as the Hellhound screamed at him. His features began to change, black patches of fur slowly growing on his skin. Finally, the Hellhound whimpered and Ryoken felt his body cooling as it changed back to normal. Ryoken let out a heavy sigh, getting off the seat he was sitting on and making his way to the kitchen. It had been a week since he had lost control and the Hellhound was now noisier than usual. It wanted to be let out. To be free. But Ryoken pushed it back in. Despite getting in serious trouble by the Pros, he hadn't actually killed anyone, and his rampage wasn't intentional, so he wasn't arrested. But has cost the city thousands in damages. That was going to be hard to cover. He looked on the counter by the microwave, seeing his results paper for U.A, a measly 13 sitting the practical results box. How pathetic. He then spied another letter next to the microwave, an invitation to another academy he had gotten a while back. The entrance exam was actually in a month, so he still had time left. What did he have to lose? Ryoken quickly scribbled down his details before leaving to post it. The academy was known as Konseigo Academy, apparently for Mutants only which was good. He wouldn't have to listen to those Emitter Scumbags preaching about how glorious they were, and how Mutants were nothing but freaks. Ryoken smiled slightly. Perhaps U.A wasn't the answer after all. He needed to choose a high school quickly as the school year was currently coming to an end. Maybe this would be good after all? Maybe this place offered him a chance to control the Hellhound? Either way, it was better than nothing. With his head now full of positive thoughts, Ryoken closed the door behind him, now eager to see what the future had in store for him.
Ok, so this idea came from a joke on a discord server between a few friends about an OC with a seagull Quirk which then evolved into this. I've never done an SYOC before, but I've wanted to try. And here I am. This is my first SYOC and I do apologise if I don't get your character's personality just right. Anyway, you're not here to hear me drabble on but see the form. Well, first some ground rules.
1. No Mary or Gary sue character's (Obviously)
2. NO EMITTER QUIRKS. This is VERY important as it ties to the plot. As such, I will only be accepting Mutant and Transformation based Quirks. If I deem your Quirk to be an Emitter based Quirk, I will not accept your character.
3. Don't just send animal mutants. Mutant Quirks are more than just having the fins of a Shark or the wings of a bird. Jirou has earphone jacks on her ears and she's a mutant for example
4. Fill out the entire form please.
5. SEND VIA PM ONLY. If you place your character in the review's section, then it won't be accepted. The PM should be titled: (Student name, Gender) Equilibrium. Example: Ryoken Tenshi, Male, Equilibrium
6. I will be changing character appearances if I receive duplicates with the same hair colour, eye colour etc. However, I will only do so with your permissions first.
I will be accepting 19 students and 3 teachers currently. I will be accepting Villains in the future.
