Evelyn stared in the mirror with a scowl on her face. She was breathing heavily, her arms and legs were incredibly sore and weak from the fight she was just in. Her left eye stung, and the side of her face ballooned up from the heavy hit earlier. She growled, feeling absolutely enraged, and punched the mirror with a scream. The glass didn't break, her already bruised knuckles sent burning shocks of pain up her arm. She cussed under her breath, feeling useless.
She stood alone in the bathroom of her studio apartment, brooding over the events leading up to her defeat.
Long blonde hair hung down, matted with sweat and caked with dirt. A determined blue eye pierced the veil of the hair, the other covered by the swollen cheek. Her bottom lip had been cut, and she let the blood dry and scab on it's own over her pointed chin. She wore a tattered white tank-top under a nearly ruined black short leather jacket. Her camo jeans were ripped so bad the bottom half barely hung on. Gaping holes in the middle of the jeans revealed bruised and bloody knees.
"Quirkless." She said with a raspy voice, her throat parched despite swallowing mouthfuls of blood earlier. "Who gives a damn if I am!?" She yelled at no one in particular.
"Psycho!" Someone outside her apartment yelled, before a rock smashed through the window. She hissed under her breath, peering outside to see some teens run away.
"Fuckin, hero-lovers." She muttered under her breath, looking down at the broken shards of glass.
Loud banging on her door immediately echoed through the small studio, making her groan in annoyance.
"WHAT!?" Evelyn yelled from the bathroom at the door.
"It's Mika, what happened!? Are you okay?" Came a muffled, Russian accented female voice from the other side. Evelyn's mood shifted from hostile annoyance, to bitter guilt.
"Yeah, I'm okay." She replied, heading over to open the door. Outside, an older woman in her 50's stood with a worried frown on her face. She had short grey hair and many wrinkles, but she exhumed a sense of strength that Evelyn was envious of, even despite her old age.
"Did those kids harass you again!?" She asked, looking over her shoulder. Evelyn sighed, smiling at ol' Mika.
"Yeah, but I'm okay. Just broke the bathroom window again."
"It's because you got into a fight with those heroes again didn't you!?" Mika accused, reaching up to pull Evelyn down so she could inspect her closer. Evelyn winced, reluctant but yielding to Mika's firm motherly touch.
"Tch, look at what your temper gets you in. Honestly, why do you pick fights with them all the time?" Mika asked, pushing Evelyn aside and letting herself in the studio. Mika headed towards the sink, opening the cabinet below and pulling out a worn first aid kit. She motioned for Evelyn to come over, which she obliged.
"I can't help it. They have these annoying looks on their faces whenever they talk about their quirks, and about how better they are. It disgusts me. Ow!" Evelyn winced as Mika touched her swollen cheek with antiseptic.
"Yes, I know how you feel about heroes. But that doesn't mean you should pick fights with them! You're quirkless!" Evelyn rolled her eyes.
'I hate how everyone uses that like it's an excuse. As if, by being quirkless we're bound to just idly stand by and do nothing.' Evelyn thought.
"It's not just heroes, but villains too. Everyone who has a quirk annoys me." She retorted, gritting her teeth.
"You're just jealous that they have something you don't." Mika said, getting some gauze and beginning to wrap Evelyn's head. Evelyn jerked back, staring Mika straight in her pale brown eyes.
"I'm not jealous. They're the ones that are jealous of me." She fired back confidently. Mika froze, giving Evelyn an inquisitive look.
"And what do you have that they don't?" She cocked her head, a bemused expression on her face. Evelyn wasn't amused.
"They're jealous I can do what they can without a quirk." She said. "And I'm not the only one." Evelyn added. She looked over at the broken window, out towards the leaves rustling in the wind. She nodded, steeling her resolve.
"I'm gonna change the way the world views the Quirkless. Just you wait and see."
"You can't do it by yourself." Mika softly said, in a comforting way that was meant to softly lay down a delusional dream. But no, Evelyn was sure she was anything but delusional.
"Oh, I won't be by myself. I'm going to get other Quirkless and we're going to show them. We're going to show them all."
Hey guys, that's the end of my prologue! I just wanted to write this to get a feel for what sort of public interest there would be for a QUIRKLESS Self-Entry type of story! The premise of it is this:
You're a quirkless US high-school student who has figured out a way to survive against those who have vastly superior advantages compared to you. Is it through hard training? Is it through brains? How do you or your character close this huge gap? If you're interested in making an OC and allowing me to write about them, please send me a PM answering the following:
Name: What's your character's real name?
Identity: What's your character's identity name? This would be like their hero/villain name, or the name they want to be known as.
Physical Characteristics: Age, Height, Weight, Hair Color, Tattoos, Body Shape/Frame. Facial hair? All that fun stuff.
Apparel/Costume: What do they wear? What do they wear if they're going on a mission or out to fight?
Emotional Characteristics: Essentially personality traits go here. The more you leave blank, the more I'll fill in with my own interpretation.
Ambition: What are your character's goals?
Fears: What is your character afraid of?
Fighting Style: How does your character fight? What weapons do they use? How would they beat someone that is better than them?
I need characters! Otherwise I'll have to invent my own which is fun and all, but I love the challenge of implementing other people's characters and breathing life into them! If no one sends submissions, then I'll just make some more OC and continue the story that way.
Day One Edit: I've received THREE submissions already! Holy crap! This is soooo awesome! Definitely going to be continuing this story.
