Quirk: Psychic Powers

Description

(R/N)'s psychic abilities are a result of his mutated temporal lobe. The neural-electrical signals that are sent from his brain to his body are converted into powerful electrical manifestations. (R/N)'s quirk is directly linked to his emotional state. A list of each major emotion and it corresponding effect is shown below.

When he's calm or in a neutral state, his quirk allows him to levitate small objects and bend thin metal with ease.

Sadness or anxiety causes nearby loose objects to levitate without conscious input. He has little control of his quirk in a state of extreme sorrow.

Euphoria or happiness resonates an invisible field of static electricity. This field tends to energize people around him all the while giving them a messy hairstyle.

Anger causes his mental state to deteriorate until he acts solely on instinct. His powers amplify ten-fold. He can create barriers of energy around his body to prevent damage from physical attacks. This can be very dangerous for his opponent and for himself.


I: From Here To Where?

You grab the handle of a splintered wooden door, taking a deep breath before turning the knob and entering the musty apartment you and your mother call home. The run down furniture, old wallpaper, and faint scent of mildew from a leak in the roof remind you everyday that you're trapped in a three room hobble barely large enough to house a mother and her son. This dingy apartment near the outskirts of town is just cheap enough for your mother to afford while keeping both of you fed.

It's not paradise, but it's home.

The aroma of brewing coffee overpowers the mildew scent as you throw down your backpack next to the door. Your mother watches you take off your only pair of shoes while sifting through a pile of bills scattered across the messy table.

Mother: Hey there stranger, welcome home. How was school?

You: It was okay.

"It was okay", the generic response you always give your mother upon returning from school. You didn't know what else to say when everyday feels the same. 

Mother: What did your friends say about you signing up for the U.A. entrance exam?

You: What friends? They laughed at me and said I was only good for making messes the heroes clean up.
