Idea 55: Quirk Log 5

Quirk log cause I have writer's block and I'm hoping this will get my brain moving.

Quirk Log 5

(Phantom Stride)

Quirk: Partial Divide

This quirk is based off of Luciana Estevez's power from Blood Blockade Battlefront

Basically Izumi would be able to divide into clones of herself but each time she does so she and her clones become younger physically. More clones means the younger she becomes in appearance and her clones are all her in essence so there's no debate on which is the real one because they all are.

They'd all share appearance, changing as there's more or less clones, while retaining the same mental capacity of if she wasn't divided up. I think I want her to have a clone cap (6-ish?) since they won't disappear the same way Twice's clones do in terms of being hurt and it also kind of grants her multiple lives if she's split. I'm thinking if one is killed then it acts as if Izumi simply merged them back to her.

In simple terms, if you're familiar with it, it's like a durable and altered version of Naruto's shadow clone jutsu.

(Breath of the Wild) (it's so easy to just use other names.)

Quirk: (Base off of yokai Ao nyobo/onna?)

This one was thought up more for the yuri collection but I could probably expand on it.

In a bid for feral Izumi I went a bit further on that end and had a mutation quirk Izumi that lives out in the wild. She hasn't met another person at all, that she remembers, and she also doesn't know how to speak because of that.

I did some short writing with Reiko in mind but the idea is flexible in terms of pairing.

(Reiko's 8ft+ tall feral girlfriend?)

Reiko didn't exactly mind being carried like a plushie.

It couldn't exactly be helped since the person carrying her was so much larger in comparison but their hold was very gentle and comforting. Reiko had met the girl one day at random while hiking in search of abandoned structures. The girl was over 260cm tall while having somewhat pale blue skin and a single sapphire colored horn curving upwards from the center of her forehead. Her green hair was wild, long, and matted and her bangs mostly covered her curious green eyes. She was on the muscular side and had jagged teeth while also wearing little more than tattered cloth for clothing. The giant of a girl did not speak, more accurately she appeared to not know how, as she only conversed with Reiko through grunts and other assorted sounds.

The green haired girl was very sweet however, she was much like a giant puppy in Reiko's opinion, and her eyes would light up whenever the gray haired girl visted her.

(Nichiyoubi) (Sunday)

Quirk: I'm currently undecided. Maybe something along the lines of relaxation by being in Izumi's presence? Not passive but something she activates. 'Comfort Zone' as a name?

Slice of life or yuri collection for sure. Also again another song name for a title. (Nichiyoubi by Ryokuoushoku Shakai)

I got the premise from listening to the song as well as just considering a 'lazy sunday'. The idea would center around Izumi and either her pair or multiple characters interacting on sundays. From all sorts of activities and trips, big and small, to random conversations in the comfort of someone's home. All of it would revolve around the happenings of a sunday.

(Second Summer)

Quirk: Re-memory

This one feels like a yuri collection one but also maybe a standalone cause I felt like it'd be mostly depressing.

I'm not fully set this way or that on Izumi's quirk but I was thinking that she could make you vividly relive a memory and then maybe literally transport you back to the time of that memory but ONLY if she shares that memory with the person.

I don't know who I'd pair with her but the premise was the two, after having drifted apart for many years and meeting again, recall their lives, and regrets, and through Izumi's quirk relive the last summer they spent together before life took them in different directions.

If I go with adding on the time travel ability then that adds the layer of them deciding if they want to live differently and try again or if, despite regrets, they wish to continue choosing how they live from now on. I haven't fully thought out all the logistics of that and if they had all their memories or a vague feeling or glimpses of what the future was should they go back but I think I can work it out.

I think you can see how it could be depressing but I want a peaceful or happy ending for sure.

(Deep/Sweet Sea Symphony)

Yokai, no quirk?

I can see this being more of the yuri collection type story but if I really go at it then I think I could make it a standalone.

I wanted to write something with a more heavy focus on yokai at least within a certain area and type. I kind of have that in Time, just on a much more discrete level and blended in society, but with this I was thinking of a complete yokai based location. In particular I wanted to base it on and directly reference to the Dragon Palace (Ryugu). With that in mind, it would be an undersea location general isolated from the happenings of the BNHA society. I think I can still find ways that each side has some kind of effect on the other but in more subtle ways.

I've been back and forth on if I want Izumi to be a yokai or a human but with an almost perfectly 1 to 1 yokai quirk. If I did make her a yokai I think I'd want her to be a younger yokai with no knowledge of life outside of Ryugu and of course no idea what a quirk is at all. I do know that I want Izumi to essentially be a shark mermaid. More than likely a koujin/samebito for certain reasons. If I went the human route then I figured she'd be an outcast for the most part, especially since she mostly needs to live in water, and found her way into Ryugu and made a home and life for herself there. I am leaning more towards yokai Izumi.

I figured the initial premise of the legend of Urashima Taro could work in which whoever I pair Izumi with is saved and then brought to Ryugu (more than likely by Izumi in this case) and then we'd start somewhere from there. I don't want to limit my choices so I figured that there would be some kind of blessing that can be bestowed to someone so they can breathe underwater but it has a time limit based on how powerful the yokai giving it is.

Of the ideas I think I'm particularly attached to Deep/Sweet Sea Symphony, Second Summer, and Breath of the Wild in that order. I'd really love to get the first two going somewhere and I do like the idea and design of Izumi in the third one.

As I mentioned I'm stuck with some writer's block but hopefully once I get by it then I'll be able to update a number of fics. I'm also thinking of adding some new standalone fics but that will depend on how I feel about them once I finish their initial chapters.

Anyways, feel free to leave me suggestions in the reviews!
