NAME: Ember Vadim
AGE: 19
GENDER: Male (He/Him)
QUIRK NAME: CATACLYSM
QUIRK CLASSIFICATION: EMITTER
QUIRK DESCRIPTION: Ember is capable of fully manipulating and reforming any solid and semi-liquid(molten) earth that he comes into physical contact with. With his quirk he is able to regulate the temperatures of the earth he is manipulating into extreme temperatures and into a rapid cooling state so that it becomes semi-liquid(molten and more malleable) or solid in form, allowing him to create weapons or blockades molded from the earth as a way to protect himself or attack another while in combat.
QUIRK POWER LIMIT: A lot of Ember's quirk manipulation comes at the cost of his concentration. He can walk away with a lot of strain left on his brain. Anything from a minor migraine to full on double nose bleeds and reddened eyes from busted blood vessels just depending on how much he pushed himself. If he pushes himself too much he could possible end up comatose for a time until his brain decides it wants to come back. You know, if he wasn't stupid or something.
QUIRK FACTOR:
Power 2
Finesse 1
Stamina 2
FLAW: Ember has a bit of Thalassophobia. He's not the biggest fan of being out in the middle of open bodies of water only because there's no determining factor of how close or far away he is to the Earth. He can however swim no problem, he can take a bath, he can shower. However he will outright refuse to go out in the middle of the ocean on a boat, he would rather recreate the Bering Strait then do any of that nonsense.
APPEARANCE: Hair/Eye Color, Tattoos are canon as well//Typical Casual Attire
Standing about 6'0, like his sister Elise, Ember has a slight tan to his complexion and blue-grey eyes. However he had taken after their mom when it came to their hair color and his remained red even after both of their quirks manifested.
BACKGROUND: Ember's upbringing was similar to his sisters. Left to play with toys that weren't normal because of their less than safe quirks -her's more than his-, parents with higher expectations than most and kids who just wanted to be kids. Being the oldest of the siblings, there was a lot of pressure to impress and take a lot of the attention off his lazier sibling so that she wouldn't end up in trouble. Perhaps that's where they mistook the potential for the both of them in seeing that they were both suited for hero work in their future. Something that neither of them really cared for even at such a young age. I mean... Really... What three and four year old cared about anything other than blowing snot bubbled and throwing mud pies at each other?
Moving from America to Japan was an absolute waste. Ember didn't like change. Hated it. And the move was for what? A school that neither of them wanted to go to? Not to mention there was a giant puddle called an ocean standing between him and their future home and it made the flight there all that much worse. On top of Ember growing incredibly airsick from the travel, his ire from not being on land growing with every hour his feet wasn't on land, Elise's boredom had nearly taken out one of the plane's engines and would have stalled them in the middle of the ocean had she not cut the shit out. He loved his sister, don't get that part twisted, he hated his parents for the move, but hated the ocean even more and would have strangled her if they all came to a crashing stop thousands of miles away from any coast...
Anyway...
After enduring all of the training courses and summer camps, UA was a bust.. But as the oldest, Ember choked down every last bit of bile and word vomit that crept it's way up his throat with each new semester he was forced to go through. With that pressure from his parents to live out their dreams for them, and to set a good example for his sister, he sucked it up the best he could just to make his parents happy. He could bale out after graduation right? Elise would have to suffer a year without him but she'd be fine, she was lazier than he was, probably flunk a couple of times and maybe get expelled but that was her own fault for having that lack of motivation. She was the baby anyway, mom and dad probably wouldn't care as much right? Why'd he have to be born first anyway?
As much as he tried to keep up the act, it was pretty obvious that Ember just wasn't that into it. He hated disappointing his parents. Second year got even harder when Elise finally started at UA. He actually had to try and make it look like their move there was worth it. Had to try and make it look like he was having fun there and maybe by seeing it she'd get motivated. All of that pressure still... It'd eat at him. He hated pressure. Hated change. Hated that it was now up to him to see that Elise succeeded. Maybe that's what caused the disconnect between her and his parents. He had always loved them. Somewhere in his heart he always would but... It'd always been about them them them and what they wanted. Never about what he or Elise wanted.
You'd think... He'd have been upset the day that they died.
According to what they were both told, due to the unfortunate negligence of heroes in the line of work, their parents car was pinned during a pile up, resulting in both of their lives having been lost due to the fire that started in a nearby vehicle. They were unable to vacate the car and save themselves.
Instead of grieving their loss he felt... Relieved. Though their parent's lives ending had, of course, kick started a whole other series of changes that Ember was soon made to deal with, they were changes he and Elise had both been able to discuss and agree on together. For each other, without the decision being made for them. It gave Ember a bit of a rush, it made him feel free. Powerful and in control. Their first sound decision? Leaving UA and never going back to it. Despite the concerns voiced by those who ran the place, who were "only looking out for their well being", Ember had taken his little sister and with both of their combined skills, they were easily able to make a life outside of UA.
Instead of becoming the heroes their parents wished them to be, Ember had taken to using his quirk for illegally harvesting precious, raw jewels and selling them for trade in between heists he took on with Elise. All of this while doing well to keep their faces out of the media and only working under the guises of their nicknames. They made a good life for themselves, regardless of whether they parents were rolling in their graves or not. The only thing Ember cared about now was doing whatever he wanted, caring for the safety of his sister, and making sure they had the life they wanted now that their parents were out of the picture.
CODE NAME: Earth Shatter
ALIGNMENT: Villain
TITLE: n/aAGE: 19
GENDER: Male (He/Him)
QUIRK NAME: CATACLYSM
QUIRK CLASSIFICATION: EMITTER
QUIRK DESCRIPTION: Ember is capable of fully manipulating and reforming any solid and semi-liquid(molten) earth that he comes into physical contact with. With his quirk he is able to regulate the temperatures of the earth he is manipulating into extreme temperatures and into a rapid cooling state so that it becomes semi-liquid(molten and more malleable) or solid in form, allowing him to create weapons or blockades molded from the earth as a way to protect himself or attack another while in combat.
QUIRK POWER LIMIT: A lot of Ember's quirk manipulation comes at the cost of his concentration. He can walk away with a lot of strain left on his brain. Anything from a minor migraine to full on double nose bleeds and reddened eyes from busted blood vessels just depending on how much he pushed himself. If he pushes himself too much he could possible end up comatose for a time until his brain decides it wants to come back. You know, if he wasn't stupid or something.
QUIRK TECHNICAL LIMIT: Ember can only manipulate the earth that he comes into contact with, if kept away then he would be at a disadvantage. Although cement is technically earth plus other chemical compounds it greatly hinders the connection he would have on the earth and make it harder on him to break through it. He also can't just take a tree and yeet it at someone. He's not a nature manipulator.
QUIRK FACTOR:
Power 2
Finesse 1
Stamina 2
SUPER MOVE: TECTONIC SHIFT > With full concentrate (Leaving him prone to attack in the process) Cataclysm would allow Ember to feel deep down into the Earth and create tremors similar to that of seismic activity that would grow to mimic the destruction of a 7.0-8.0 magnitude earthquake. Acting as it's epicenter, Ember would manipulate the Earth to rapidly heat and expand and cool and become brittle once more repeatedly, leaving destruction in it's wake.
COSTUME: Ember doesn't exactly have the flashiest of "costumes" if at all really. He just seems to dress far more casual then he should. For one, he's hardly ever seen in anything beyond a pair of flipflops, and never anything covering his hands even in the colder weather. Dressed in what's comfortable for him at the time, the only thing odd or different about the clothes he chooses to wear are the deep pockets that are always filled with loose earth in case he's somewhere enclosed and not around anything he can touch that would offer him assistance with his quirk usage.
EXPERTISE: GEOLOGY/MINERALOGY - Because of the specifics of his quirk, Ember has taken it upon himself to learn everything he could of specific Earth Sciences. Geology helped him better understand his earth manipulating abilities, the affects the heating and cooling capabilities would have on certain organic formations, how brittle or how much stronger the earth would become from constantly heating and being reformed. Mineralogy helped him better understand the minerals within the earth, and how that would also help his sister Elise in harvesting Iron for her own quirk in being able to manipulate metal and revert it back into something for his own use in times of scarcity. FLAW: Ember has a bit of Thalassophobia. He's not the biggest fan of being out in the middle of open bodies of water only because there's no determining factor of how close or far away he is to the Earth. He can however swim no problem, he can take a bath, he can shower. However he will outright refuse to go out in the middle of the ocean on a boat, he would rather recreate the Bering Strait then do any of that nonsense.
