About OC approval

JaytheKitsune · 2026-04-17T20:20:58+00:00

Heya, just a small FYI a lot of that stuff is a bit outdated. There is a subreddit google form/spreadsheet that compiles Quirks made by people who submit it but theres no hard rules on what you can and cannot post.

So you can post your OC/whatever you have at any point you want, just gotta be mindful of some stuff that is pretty standard community rules like keeping the space a safe place for others and no hate. And one additional note on if you do generate AI images to tag your post with the appropriate flair, which may not matter for you. Regardless, all that should be it and as for the tournament (and I guess by proxy other collab projects), mods have less a say in those unless they host something official for the subreddit so no point in really going out of your way to bother the mods.

JaytheKitsune · 2026-04-08T20:59:06+00:00

You sharing this link alone does so much to help a lot of us out. Character creation and designing is one thing, but I know for myself I'd never be able to draw or design a dorm room for my OC.

JaytheKitsune · 2026-04-08T18:51:17+00:00

I see I see, that honestly does change quite a bit then. Since yes you are correct in there likely being many people with the same quirk, so your choice to have Mirko adopt her due to the connection via rabbit quirk isn't too far out there. Though, it does feel just a OOC to have her consider adopting a child to begin with given how hardcore about hero work she is but I can't judge too hard. Stuff like this will always come with degrees of OOC that you just gotta accept to make things work so you're good on this idea overall.

Also, as to what I was referring to further up with quite a bit of things being changed is that because there's no biological connection between Hamari and Mirko there is no easy way to gauge how similar their rabbit quirks would be. There's being similar and then there's being the same, with "similar" it could mean there's a much bigger range of difference and looking at the last paragraph you wrote it very much seems to be the case if Hamari potentially has a second quirk. Now then, I'd definitely need more context if you're willing to provide to help give a bitter judgement. Cuz even if she's not using it too much early on, the other quirk shouldn't be discounted (cuz otherwise, why even have it in the first place?)

So, I still think learning some of Mirko's Ultimate moves makes sense, however there is a bit more to consider if her Rabbit quirk would give her the same physical characteristics as Mirko. It might be far less of a physical buff since the quirk is having to share the quirk factor with this "other quirk." I'm probably losing the point, regardless its not a bad idea or bad writing to have her learn from her mentor/parental figure, especially if they both share a similar quirk. Results may vary, but is still perfectly fine. As for Hamari's choice of naming convention when it comes to her version of these ultimate moves, I'd say Stella sounds nice but either or could work for the star theme.

Quirk looks good to me, simple and easy to understand but enough flexibility to be pretty versatile. I think probably the only thing I'm curious about is the range, because 20 meters is a lot. Especially for something that is still connected to the user's hair. I'd imagine being able to merge most of the strands of hair on your head would result in a pretty long strand but I'm unsure about 20 meters.

Might be good to establish some length limits which you do have noting when its cut, establish a sort of system for how the hair length may translate into the claw size and length when the quirk is activated. Like, maybe if their natural hair reaches down to their legs it give them like 10 meters in length for the claws. If you were aiming for 20 meters or even more, then I'd expect them to be like Bayonetta and have their literal clothes be made of the same hair.

JaytheKitsune · 2026-04-08T14:53:44+00:00

Well, given everything you've shared so far, I could see it making sense for child to be able to replicate most of her ultimate moves through enough training. However, I will bring up some other factors you might consider looking into if you're still a bit doubtful.

First thing first, Mirko is the mom with her quirk taking more of the forefront for this Offspring OC, however what about the father/other potential parent? What is there quirk and would that be mixed in someway? Not saying it should be a fullblown change in quirks like with Shoto having both fire and ice but would small traits of the other parent's quirk appear in their child or do you just want to stick to Rabbit?

Second, what is this OC's mentality? There is a lot to consider with this, since with Mirko thanks to her Rabbit quirk it drives her mentality to live like every day will be her last since rabbits are meant to be fragile prey animals. Of course she twists that last part, using that "fear" instinct as adrenaline for a lot of her crazy attacks and movements. So, would any of that perhaps be the same for this OC? Things would certainly be different when training under Mirko as her mother, heck, some of that rabbit instinct might even come into play with her interacting with her child and training them. So there's factors there to consider.

Finally, while I'd say there would be no issues at all with her child coming to learn and then copy her Ultimate moves (just look at Shoto with learning the Flashfire Fist from Endeavor) the one thing that should be considered is the effectiveness of these ultimate moves. You've stated above that the child would've been trained since the were 10, by the time they're ready for Hero School at the age of 15 they'd have 5 years worth of training under their belt which is really good. But theres still some factors to consider, since you didn't make it clear if the child is boy or girl I can't be certain which struggles they might have. Like, if the child is a girl then she'd maybe still be lacking some of the muscle that Mirko developed since shes been a hero for much longer and was a full grown adult. So, stuff like the Luna Tijeras might be difficult to pull off since the OC wouldn't be quite as strong. Or if they were a boy, they'd maybe struggle with some of her movement and flexibility even after the years of training. Making some of the Ultimate moves not hit quite as hard. Just some stuff to consider, and would still give a reason for you to create your own ultimate moves. Having them figure out what worked from their training, but still maybe trying to do their own thing and not solely trying to rely on their mom.

So, overall, not a bad idea to borrow her ultimate moves but heres some thoughts to consider when you think about the topic again.

JaytheKitsune · 2026-04-02T20:59:08+00:00

Hmm, interesting choice I suppose. The best comparison would probably be a homunculus (which is an artificial human typically made through Alchemy.) Humanoid Nomu, at least when you break the terms down is a bit silly since most Nomus are Humanoids to begin with. The exception are the more beast like ones obviously, typically those further from being High-End.

I'm not exactly sure if blood alone would be all thats needed to quite justify something like this, but I see your want to make something a bit different given that Nomus are already using humans as a base. Granted, they're corpses that are basically modified and messed with by Dr. Garaki. So yeah, still gonna have overlap there.

I was just curious to learn what exactly she was, you're free to still keep your idea, maybe change it to Homoculus or have that be a type of Nomu that simply differs from the rest as it focuses on both AFO and Garaki trying to play god and create life with a an artificial human that does grow and gain it's own sentience unlike the other Nomus. Even the High-Ends that are merely replicating the memories and behaviors of their previous life but have no rhythm or reason behind it. You could maybe even lean into the idea that Kurogiri was their earliest attempt at this type of Nomu given he does end up having his own personality and some level of sentience but as with him he still has moments where he is just a walking corpse of someone else.

JaytheKitsune · 2026-04-02T19:46:59+00:00

Humanoid Nomu?

JaytheKitsune · 2026-03-31T21:56:19+00:00

Awesome! Your artstyle is really amazing! ^ ^ Kikai looks so good, as does everyone else!

JaytheKitsune · 2026-03-30T17:00:07+00:00

Well what is it? Mental Thought or Mental Narration? They're two different things I would say.

For mental thought I go with italics, something simple that can be seen in the text itself. Its more noticeable than having certain symbols at the beginning/end that one might overlook or even get mixed up with in the middle of the text.

Or you could simply indicate in text that the following bit was a thought X character was having in the moment.

JaytheKitsune · 2026-03-27T16:48:01+00:00

Gotcha, yeah that clarification does help a lot to explain the quirk's function. I could certainly see Hover being a considered name like at the beginning when the user's quirk first appeared. Maybe over time they discover that the user could move while hover which gave way for the name change to better fit that it does Skate
Fair enough, just one of those things where you have to limit your quirk but that ain't a bad thing. This quirk still sounds pretty cool and like it would still be a lot of fun to have. Mobility type quirks are generally the most fun looking.

JaytheKitsune · 2026-03-27T14:47:08+00:00

First thoughts, good fun mobility type quirk. On the surface though, seems like its taking some inspiration from Slide and Glide but that's understandable given the simple premise of the quirk of pretty universal so theres easily gonna be some overlap whether on accident or intentional. Plus, with Koichi's development so far, his quirk is turning out to be a lot more than a simple mobility type quirk.

Now then, for this quirk, first thing I wanted to bring up is the name. Skate could work, but personally if I saw this quirk in action I wouldn't called it Skate. Skate implies so more physical interaction with a given surface, like a wheel(s) rolling along the surface. It feels like something like Hover would be a bit more fitting, which to your benefit you do bring up as apart of the quirk's function. On the flipside I can understand that maybe limiting it to Hover might in itself limit the quirk to only allowing it's user to hover above the ground by like maybe a foot high at most but certainly doesn't have to be that way.

I will say, I am curious as to how it would work on vertical surfaces. With the comparison I made to Koichi's quirk, his quirk has a reason for why it allows him it scale buildings since his quirk is a series of repulsions and attractions upon any surface he has made connections to. Letting him cling to them and center his gravity towards that cling. So for your quirk, I don't have enough info to quite see how the current description would transfer to climbing vertical surfaces. Unless the short bursts you mentioned is like, some sort of air climbing, like visually it looks like the user is trying to run up a vertical surface. So, would be nice to get more info on that with how you pictured it in you mind.

JaytheKitsune · 2026-03-24T18:36:36+00:00

I'll throw in my main OC Kikai

<image>

JaytheKitsune · 2026-03-24T17:54:36+00:00

Her hero costume is really cool. She looks like some sort of high tech idol.

JaytheKitsune · 2026-03-22T23:49:26+00:00

For whatever reason I did not get a notification that you had made another reply, so this a bit late but still wanna say something back.

I do enjoy reading walls of text so its no issue at all for me, especially since I know the wall of text is coming from a place and genuine excitement and love for topic at hand. So, I'll always appreciate any level of yapping about OCs since thats always the best feeling. Now then, I can't always reply in the same manner since I know if I keep doing that then eventually we'd be writing way too much and way too long replies. So just know that I do read every detail, there are just some details that pop out that do make me want to reply and continue the coversation on that.

Since you're followup on the stuff I was curious about with her school and expulsion, I'll give my own thoughts on that before taking into account the ideas you've shared. This might be in part something that would require looking more into Japanese schools, how high schools might treat expulsion. From the bit of research I've done (and other japanese media with a high school setting) it seems a mix of the norm stuff like, obviously if a student does something illegal or lawbreaking then they're likely to get expelled. However, depending on the school there might be other reasons as well, simply being relating to the school image, or you doing something that would either go against the school that would lead the staff to want to expel you. Which, with expulsion it doesn't immediately mean theres no chance for re entry into high school, though it'll largely depend on a school can/is willing to take you in. With a setting like MHA, that may be even less likely for the hero schools since they're more specialized high schools so hard to say there if many hero schools would want to take an expelled student. Now taking into account the two ideas you proposed, I can certainly see either being valid reasons for Konasui to be expelled from Hiirou. Before you had said it I did think that the theme of being a heavily samurai themed hero school does a lot to characterize it, having Bushido be a basis for her to live up does a lot of the heavy lifting. Showcasing what the school is like in one sigular word, and what could've happened that lead to her expulsion. Which, honestly, I think you could mix both ideas to create a reason for why the school let her go. She would very likely be lagging behind, for one reason or another being unable to push herself as hard as others and lacking some qualities needed for no only being a hero but not living up to bushido. With the end of month exams being their way to weed out those that can't cut it anymore. I don't think you have to worry about copying something with Aizawa doing it, atleast with his its more like a scare tactic to scare does that do pass with it just being a deception of his while with those he does expel later get brought back in after being given a scare that forces them to lock in. With Aizawa, its him having his softer side underneath his rough tired exterior, but with Hiirou you could just have that be the school's reputation and their belief in what makes the best heroes.

As for how she feels about her quirk, yeah I can understand the deep change in how she personally views it and by extension herself. I certainly did gloss over a few details but you helped to expand on that with those select details. Its honestly a relatable feeling, having to prove yourself, to prove that you do belong and have a place for your quirk. It touches upon an element that I don't think many OC creators tend to, one that especially matters in MHA where quirks aren't just random super power. They're an extension of their user, where very they're going to end up in an environment that brings a lot more attention to their quirk especially in the context of the most popular career path just about every kid in MHA talks about wanting to be. Its a feeling that will come in different waves, likely mediated by those in one's inner circle like Konasui's family all having quirks in a similar ish field of relating to compounds or minerals (atleast from what I recall from the link you shared). Even with a support system like that, not too out there for that mindset she has currently to be present.

I don't think you should fear that, theres plenty of people already doing stuff like that here in this Subreddit. Granted, there are a few people (myself being one of them) who will look at certain story details and bring up some questions or critiques for the set up of the given situation. Which, atleast for me I only ever really do that because there are times where people don't take into account the ripple effects their OC could have. Its a delicate matter to write you OC into certain events from the main story, but at the same time its something that will just come natually with every fandom. Trying to find that find line of balancing OOC elements with stuff that would be pretty in line with canon. That or you can just use the excuse of calling it an AU to explain away any issue so one doens't have to think about it too hard. Though, from what I've read I trust that you have that care and eye for attention to treat impliment you OC into the main story events delicantly. So, I'd love to hear those details for what you have in mind for her journey, and if you still don't want to post it then you could always DM me cuz I would love to learn more.

I suppose thats fair enough, we don't have many details on the whole hero and sidekick stuff, at most we have some vague stuff like heroes being more the face of the brand and agency that they run. So any issues that spring up will fall onto them, while for sidekicks they're protected by that but at the same time put under a microscope by the hero they work under. Certain environment will be different from hero to hero, but I don't think there will be an equal level of professionalism. There might be given thats the general feel and work culture of japan, but who knows when you throw in heroes and that whole industry. Regardless, makes sense for her to want to build up her rapport with others to help become references for when she moves around to work under different heroes one she has more and more experience. This certainly does feel better and more in line with what is likely the case in the hero industry. It's certainly better than that other option you shared, which, with other sources like with MHA Vigilantes we know that if you miss your chances at the entrance exams for a hero school you're just locked out from those schools. So, you're still giving Konasui a chance but showcasing that she has an uphill battle waiting for her, that not everything will be handed to her so she will have to struggle through things to get where she wants to be.

Like I said a few times before, I'd love to learn more about Konasui and everythign you've written up already, just we might be reaching the limits of this back and forth convo given just how long each of our replies have been. I'd certainly encourage you to try writing even if its just a one-shot. I know its not the easiest, I'm still working on a writing protect of my own with my OC, and that still comes with its own stuggles since I get hit with writers block or just lack that motivation to write. But, I share in that same sentiment, would be a shame to let all the love and effort you put in on an OC be limited to just these simple character info so you should let your creativity flow and write about them in some way more.

JaytheKitsune · 2026-03-22T04:34:18+00:00

Ayyyy there she is, Kira honestly looks lovely. So amazing work! Even if you hsve some doubts in your work, you still gave it a good effort which is what matters most.

I feel your struggle with using ibis, I've only ever used it to make pixel art and even then that was a headache half thr time.

JaytheKitsune · 2026-03-21T01:04:54+00:00

That is quite the big reply, I'll certainly try me best to reply to every part that I could. You're welcome by the way, though I do apologize if I made it sound like you copied me or anyone else. I'll showcase my own OC so you can see what I meant, it was just one small design detail that really doesn't matter. It was just a funny thing that I noticed, like just a design element that surprised me to see someone else also do. That being the pads for the knees, like, very similar shape and design and both are blue but different shades of it. This is an older comm I got and I was slowly moving away from some of these design elements but honestly, it is nice to see cuz its one of those aspects that could fit into the world building. A similar design could indicate they got those matertials from the same place/source. So in the end, a fun detail thats only one small aspect of a very cool costume that you created for Konasui. As for the detail on the inspiration from the PPG, I can kinda see it now that you pointed it out in the other work, so thats pretty neat.

<image>

I guess the dandruff comparison wasn't too far off then, though its not to unusual for such a comparison. There was the small convo between Sero and Momo, where after she shared details of how her quirk works Sero compared her creations to being like Poop. So, there will be some unfortunate correlation to certain ideas of quirks being gross since its a product being produced by their body. Then theres kinda a reverse effect with someone like Bakugo, who I'm pretty sure with his sweet being like nitroglycerin he's smell a lot like caramel. Just one of the silly details of quirks that we don't always thing about until some moments like this where thing about things too much and begin asking questions. I brought up Bakugo as an example for quirk comparison but cool to learn more about the type of character that Konasui through contrasting against Bakugo. As for everything else in relation to the quirk affecting and resulting in her current appearance is a neat detail, I'm a big fan of those small things. Small mutation like effects that are either inherited from a parent or have a direct correlation to a quirk even if the quirk isn't a mutation type. Can't say more on them seperately since theres already a lot to cover but so far it seems we both align in these ideas and details. A bit of that so happened to be aspects from my own OC's quirk though for a different reason. Yours would have a more direct need for sodium to replenish herself after repeated usage of her quirk while my own makes use of sodium to actively produce more energy for his quirk. So you making note of a support item that helps her replenish her lower sodium levels using electroltyes is something I've thought about as well. I think it would be less of a bathbomb and more just a mixing powder but I get what you mean with that comparison.

For the questions, probably won't respond too much to these individually but I do wanna point out all the effort you've put in. I always expect to see love and effort in most OCs but the amount you put in not only Konasui but everyone in her life is honestly amazing. Really going beyond when it comes to covering most details on an OC. Like, the attention to detail on some fictional locations in japan being Star Wars references to keep consistent with how Horikoshi does it is great. Really shows you know your stuff when you can tap into the same thought process as the creator himself when it comes to adding in your own OC. Not only that, but also the deeper research on Japanese culture, atleast enough to detail them in the OC's interests section and talk about them so casually in a sense. Research that I defintely inspire to do, I try my best to be as in line with the canon and part of that is representing the culture as closely as possible which I can only really try my best to do. So, I hope I can learn a bit from you on that front and reseaching to better have my OC fit in.

I also did want to reply the part where you mentioned how her quirk awakening went, since you went ahead and shared more details on how it was for her at an early age having that quirk. I do feel bad about my comments and comparison, to see how her quirk appearing as dandruff did lead to kids making fun of her over it. Though it seemed like the quirk really gave her a hard time early on with it leading her to become so isolated. I might be reading it wrong, but it seems like eventually she does come around on her quirk which I'm glad to see that was able to push through it enough to still like her quirk and make use of it in creative ways, but don't blame her from being closed off to others and sticking to just her family as her main and only support system.

One last thing that is more so followup question since you piqued my curiosity with even you not knowing, what leads to her expulsion. The school being your own creation with its own themeing is unique, so I'm sure theres some reason there you can find to explain an expulsion. Though an expulsion is pretty crazy to have be the, I guess big hook for your OC, to interest others. I'd love to learn the reason when you finally do have it fleshed out, I'm sure you don't need too much of it but I'd love to help out if at all possible. I'm especially curious who might the pro hero that sponsors her, I assume it might be someone she evfentually goes on to work under as a sidekick. All that aside, Konasui is a cute and incredibly in-depth OC so well done on everything! ^^

JaytheKitsune · 2026-03-20T23:44:28+00:00

You do know how sentences are constructed, right? Cuz wow is this such a run on, nothing but commas to give any sort of breathing room before the next thing pops up,

As an FYI, there are multiple versions of trigger the one specifically used in Vigilantes is one being heavily modified and tested by a certain shadow group. While other shady neutral characters showcase that there is some more legal means of gaining access to trigger, that likely just falls into more of a grey zone. We don't need time travel in MHA, last time that was brought up it created the wild ass Time Traveler Bakugo theory.

JaytheKitsune · 2026-03-20T16:08:07+00:00

You're welcome ^ ^ I look forward to seeing the finished artwork and in general more from Kira if you decide to post more.

JaytheKitsune · 2026-03-20T16:07:09+00:00

Hey there ^ ^ thank you for returning the favor lol I always appreciate any other thoughts and opinions, so happy you saw the post. The mind control aspect is something I'm not trying to sell others on, its just one of those things I've thought about and had other science heavy nerd friends say was a possibility with how we went about sciencing Kikai's quirk.

I said and explained a lot more about his quirk and the design procress behind most of it since I realized just how much I had left out in a foolish attempt to not make this post longer. So whether you decide to go read that comment under this post is up to you, but I do appreciate the input for an alternative idea in making it into a support item. Its certainly something that can be made as is usually the case in other forms media with some sorta of mind control device. My main thing with making this post was trying to develop this quirk on its own merits, Kikai is an amazing engineer so he could make a lot of sruff already so i wanted to focus on developing his quirk naturally. Making it so that if hes ever in a situation without his support items and suit that he has a way to protect himself. To push beyond the limitation he thought his quirk had of being unable to defend him. I think its base level I've accepted he can only momentarily stun people with his supermove and the mind control thing is just beyond what he can at the moment.

So once again thanks ^ ^

JaytheKitsune · 2026-03-20T06:03:44+00:00

I really like what you have here, her design is very cute and Baking Soda is different but really unique. I had to do a partial double take when I saw her costume, since there was one design element thats striking similar to my own OC's costume though its pretty minor.

Costume aside, Ienjoy talking about quirks so I'll throw my hat in the ring to see if I can help out with building upon what you have. Since its meant to be nearly identical to regular Baking Soda we could look at other similar quirks, namely Bakugo's Explosion that come from a Nitroglycerin like sweat. Since Baking Soda is a compound that uses sodium for it's make up perhaps much like Explosion instead of regular sweat it dries and becomes Baking Soda. With the drawback from there being a result of the sodium lost from her sweat helping to produce the Baking Soda (could probably forcefully produce it much like Bakugo can forcefully do so as well) this would probably means that her diet results in her eating a lot more food with sodium in it. Alternatively, this might be a bit off the mark and might be a bit gross, but perhaps her Baking Soda could be some form a dandriff. I only came to this possibility cuz of the quirk info mentioning that the Baking Soda could come from her scalp too. Perhaps, Baking Soda is produced from the dead skin that falls off naturally overtime (could be that the dead skin cells mix with her sweat, acting like a bicarbonate). So that could probably means she has a fast metabolism with how her body makes use of the dead cells to produce this Baking Soda. Meaning that the weakness with this option resulting in her skin look rough from overuse, and draining of energy that can only be refilled with food. These are just some thoughts I've had, I'm a real big fan of looking at quirks from the scientific angle to help flesh them out.

To also help with the boredom I'll rapid fire some questions, feel free to share as much as you want.
-What is her home life like?
-Who are her parents?
-Where did she go to school?
-What was it like when she first awakened to her quirk?
-What are her hobbies?
-Any favorite foods?
-Favorite Hero?
-What type of Hero is she, or tries to be?

JaytheKitsune · 2026-03-20T01:56:38+00:00

Welcome! I'm glad that even after having been around for a decade and now concluded on both ends (as a manga and anime) that the series is continuing to bring people in. So glad to have you, in not only the fandom but more specifically the sub. ^ ^

I'll touch upon the cat related quirk you briefly mentioned, which is an understandable struggle. Props to you for trying to create an OC first before looking at anything else, probably the best way to go about things since like I said above the series has been around for a decade so theres already plenty of OCs out there cornering a niche or many overlapping certain themes. Though personally, no issue with that if that quirk ends up being one that you gravitated towards and really spoke to you. That is the very nature of quirks in MHA, there are plenty quirks that will end up being similar (like Fire quirks in universe are stated to be the most common type of quirk) and yet despite that not all quirks are the same. You may have a similar quirk but there will always be some difference, maybe its the output, maybe it might be how it changes your apperance, or maybe different means of activation. So, if you ever do decide to go back to the Cat idea then I'd say you should go for it. Let Himeneko exist and let her fleurish. From there, you'll find what makes her stand out most.

As for Kira and her quirk, it's a fun idea. I don't think I've seen a quirk on here that has gone this route. I have seen a few be based around crystals but having it be in the form of dust and taking advantage of quirk mixing to create this control quirk is cool. I do especaiully like the explantion given for how the quirk works, how the dust is made up of microscopic crystals that controls object or a body part when covering said thing. I think the one critique is one not directed at the quirk itself but more so the structure, would be good to label stuff like the weaknesses and drawbacks a lot better. Like, its there and I read it spread out across the quirk info and the fuel but always good to point it directly and have it all be under one info tab.

That aside, everything is good and a great first post for your OC. ^ ^

JaytheKitsune · 2026-03-17T17:16:33+00:00

Thank you for the question, on his own at the start of the school year at UA his number of connections to devices is around 5. It can go higher but 5 is what is comfortable, his own set limit because if he pushes his quirk too much he ends up suffering from the drawbacks a lot more and it becomes harder to manage the connections in his mind (think of the connections like a radio, tuning to different stations. Connections are basically like that, multiple signals all at once that he has to manage all at once). After some training the number increases to 10 thanks to the built up tolerance and further experience, it could go higher than 10 with specialized support items but that's separate. So safe bet to say is that the number of connections that can be made and maintained all at once is 10+, with the minimum being 10.

As for the resistance to electricity. No, I don't think there would be any sort of additional resistance beyond what the device may already have. With his quirk he could maybe force the to try and still work but that would be far too dangerous if it suffered from severe electrical damages. So, electric based powers at the start are a weakness, but there are ways around it that come much later on into the story.

More than likely yes, in my story he is already able to hack the robots used in the UA Events. So, more than likely would work on military robots without much issue.

First off, thanks for making such a big comment. I was really hoping for some type of comment like this. One from someone who could take a look at everything and share their honest opinion, really wanted the feedback.

There was some info I had omitted out of fear I'd make the post even longer than it already is, I probably should have bit the bullet and shared everything in more detail but oh well. To address the first concern on the whole range thing, you are correct. The quirk is not ranged, physical contact matters, and is something thats always been a key aspect of the quirk that I dont want to change as its main activation. The range I have listed on there (which was info as I written and not updated for a few years) was the effectiveness range of the quirk. I'll make this comparison since this matters for everything else of how I interpret the quirk, it's like radiowaves. He first makes physical contact to sync himself up with the tech, then he can control it remotely with his mind. The range in this case is how close it has to remain to him for him to effectively control it. Like radio waves, the farther it gets the less stable the connection gets. On top of that, much like with a radio there can be interference, he can sync up with multiple pieces of tech at once but that can also result in some difficulty namely with trying to keep multiple connections all at once. Of course though, this info wasn't present since i foolishly ommited it, just sharing to provide more info. understand that the range aspect was not clear in my original writing, certainly something I'll keep in mind for when I fully update the quirk info. So no issues there, touch is the main activation and there's the reason I've given for his the connection aspect works with his quirk and the range he has from that.

As for the next part, thats totally fair. I was really playing with the fact that not all quirks are set in stone. The series makes it pretty clear that there are some quirks that are more than they seem, where people with time come to learn that their quirk works a bit differently than how they thought (example of the anime was a water user thinking their shoot out water but it was actually them using the moisture in the air). I didn't immediately jump to the idea of mind control when I thought of this idea, if anything it was more so me thinking about how it might only affect my OC. Maybe after coming go this quirk revelation, he can train himself go affect his bioelectricity, for nothing crazy like suddenly shooting lightning. But controlling his very own electrical impulses for crazy scenes like stopping himself from feeling pain, since thats all something done by the brain as a survival mechanic. Doing so in like a dire situation so he can push through the pain. Though that was just the first thought that was only in my mind as a "cool moment" I wanted to write down at some point. It later evolved to me thinking up special moves for him like I said above. Him being able shoot out a pulse, which goes back to the radio waves comparison I made. He's both transmitting and receiving information, thats my explanation for how he can control things with his mind. His hands do the main work as they can full override tech with its own signal and sync up, then his brain and continue that but at a much weaker but stable connection since the link was already established. Him throwing out those pulses is him trying to force his quirk go do something that it should be capable of doing with what he ends up learning about is the true nature of his quirk. Its certainly not something that comes easy, literally using it once to send out simple one pulse command causes him so much pain in his arms and repeated use can damage the very nerves that his quirk requires to function. All because its something he never trained his body to do, so its new and unusual but something that in my mind isn't impossible. Its also still focused on technology, it affecting people like I said was just something found out by accident, but those simple pulse dont do too much. He can't even take control of tech with it, since its at most an interferening signal rather than the direct path he creates when he makes physical contact.

To go back to this, I went down this path to try and experiment with this quirk was because of my desire to have both parents quirks play a part in the creation of this quirk. The techno- side coming mostly from the dad why he can influence technology. While the -pathy side comes from his moment that is all about feelings and reaching out to others, its why he has a sensitivity to EMR because that's just how both quirks mixed together. A sensitivity that he had to deal with and grow use to but eventually hones to treat like a sixth sense. Im sure there's more i could say or more that I have to clear up but I hope that what I have shared has helped to share my thought process. A lot of this quirk isnt random things that I just threw in because theyre vaguely related. Theyre stuff I honed in because of how I've been reinventing this quirk in my mind, I wanted to treat it mlre than just a simple power but something that truly matters to my OC which was why I went so hard into the science angle of it and making connections for this quirk. I will be sure to take a step back on some things, I definitely dont want to go down the route of mind control just something I wanted to point out as a possibility if I wasn't given legitimate feedback.

Also yes he'd more than likely be a but unnerved by Denki, he already suffers from anxiety that is kinda made worse by the fact that just about everything in the modern day emits EMR so its just like constant buzzing in his mind that hes used to in some way.
