SONYA GINSBURG
Aspiring Villainess Uncertain Other - 16 years old - Mixed Caucasian-Japanese
Birthday: January 19
PERSONALITY --------------------------------------- Sonya puts on a show of appearing to be cold, haughty, and blunt. For the most part, she's managed to convince everyone, including herself, that that's how she really is. She puts on an appearance for others of being timid and overly apologetic, but her acting skills range from dubious at best to pretty good depending on how much duress she's under. Her typical presentation, when "being herself" is insulting and sarcastic with a superiority complex to match. When pressed, she is surprisingly cowardly, quickly foregoing her arrogance in order to stay out of harm's way.
Deeply mistrustful, Sonya is used to being either outright antagonized or betrayed by those who treat her nicely. Getting to know her requires either an inordinate amount of effort or else dogged persistence. Thus far, those that have defied her expectations repeatedly have been the most likely to make a connection with the girl. She firmly believes that there is nothing wrong with her Quirk, but years of prejudice have given her a certain bias both towards others' opinions of it and the Quirk's innately good/evil nature. As expected of someone who has been bullied for her supposedly villainous tendencies, Sonya despises heroes and those who would become them. She believes them to be hypocritical as they believe in protecting the weak and oppressed but simultaneously breed a mindset that creates more weak and oppressed like herself. Her favorite leisurely pastime is urban exploration, which she sneaks out at night to do. Most of the places she investigates are abandoned buildings or buildings under construction.
Beneath all of the layers of bullshit and bitchiness, Sonya is the same sensitive, basically nice girl that she's always been. Scared and hurt by years of neglect and abuse, she puts up the walls around herself to keep people from hurting her anymore. The routine of her daily life has become so "predictable" that her defenses are easy to maintain, but of late her out of the ordinary encounters have been dragging her fundamental personality out of its cave deep within her psyche.
Multiple encounters with people willing to be kind and tolerant of her are slowly making her less guarded around others. These special people are still subject to her abrasive way of acting, but she is much less guarded and prone to unrelenting insults towards them. In some cases, though she'd never say, she even enjoys spending time with them.
She has been slowly learning the value of proper friendship with others, finding strength in her bonds with Akiko, Sam, and Zhuizhu. Little by little, her personality has been shifting to be less toxic and more accepting with those she actually cares about. Importantly, she has begun to show small signs of affection for both Zhuizhu and Akiko despite her otherwise harsh exterior.
Likes: Solitude, Sweets, Grandma Hiromi (reluctantly), "Real" ramen (thanks to Akiko), her small circle of friends
Dislikes:: Just about everybody else, Optimism, Spiders
POINTS OF INTEREST ----------------------------------------------------
- Sonya is estranged from her parents and essentially considers them non-existent in her life
- She doesn't mind inflicting pain on others but will almost never do it in a place that the public can see.
- Finding a semblance of peace at school by pretending to have a useless Quirk with no practical uses in daily life, Sonya is deathly afraid, though she would never admit it, of her classmates discovering what her Quirk really does.
- Likewise, she is terrified of law enforcement after her previous encounter with them. She will quickly devolve into a hysterical panic at any form of restraint or enclosure in a locked facility.
- Sonya now has a 12 inch action figure of Plum Protector from Akiko that she keeps in her bag and uses sometimes as a Phobia.

CURRENT THREADS --------------------------------------------------
RECENT EVENTS ----------------------------------------
- Sonya was going to learn cooking from Emerald, but the girl apparently disappeared, leaving her feeling deeply hurt. UNRESOLVED POINT: She must go through these feelings with someone relatively close to her.
- Sonya has found something of mentor figure in Sam. Where that goes from here is uncertain...
- Sonya has agreed to an uneasy friendship with Akiko, which is in actuality much more comfortable than she lets on.
- Dragged to the Spectrum convention by Zhuizhu, Sonya met up with Akiko and the trio had a pretty good time despite Zhuizhu's depression at not getting into UA. She got a cloak for herself and received an action figure of Plum Protector from Akiko.
| Relationships |
|---|
Name
| Relationship to character
| | Grandma Hiromi | Sonya's foster guardian. A nice, if somewhat absent-minded, old woman that treats Sonya as if the girl were her granddaughter. Sonya likes to pretend that she doesn't care about the "old hag" but treats her "grandma" with surprising gentleness. It took a year of constant little acts of kindness, but Sonya has finally accepted Hiromi as a truly loving guardian that only has her best interests at heart. She deeply and truly fears that Grandma Hiromi will discover the true nature of her Quirk and abandon her like her parents and would do anything to keep her from finding out. (NPC)
| | Zhuizhu Tenjo | Sonya almost literally ran into Zhuizhu in the aftermath of exploring an abandoned building. They had a chat in which Zhuizhu's Quirk allowed her to see that Sonya wasn't what she seemed, spooking Sonya real good. Zhuizhu is Sonya's friend, the first she had in Japan and possibly ever. She worries about Zhuizhu's heroic aspirations at the same time as mocking them. Sonya is aware that Zhuizhu's parents were contract killers and thinks that's cool. She can't understand why Zhuizhu would give that up to be a hero instead, despite Zhuizhu's explanation. She is referred to as "Zhui" affectionately by Sonya.
| | Emerald Brielle | Sonya shared a table with Emerald at a cafe, albeit unintentionally. At first, she despised Emerald for seeming like the type of popular girl that picked on her the most. They bonded, sort of, over a mutual love of dessert and apparently a similar social awkwardness. Emerald agreed to help teach Sonya how to cook, earning her a tentative spot in Sonya's good graces.
| | Samantha Bjarkisdóttir | Though they did not meet under the best of circumstances, Sam stopped Sonya from fully committing to a life of crime by stopping her from her first attempt at shoplifting. Sam seems to think that they have a lot in common in terms of persecution for their Quirks and have simply taken divergent paths. Sonya finds this interesting enough to be worth acknowledging her. The older woman is attempting to take on something of a mentor role for Sonya, but she has not caved into this... yet.
| | Akiko Hakuryu | Sonya met Akiko while urban exploring. He complimented her Quirk, which was a strange experience for her. After some conversation, they agreed to be friends in a rather awkward manner. They have a similar state of being outcasts from society at large and overlap a great deal in their disgust for the majority around them. His constant kindness and patience "annoy" her, but she has admitted, in her weaker moments, that she appreciates him more than she lets on. They shared a tender moment at the Spectrum convention that Sonya adamantly denies being anything but an accident.

EVA MCLOUGHLIN
Swole Forge Goddess - 23 years old - Irish
Birthday: February 5th
PERSONALITY --------------------------------------- Due to her upbringing, Eva is a bit out of sorts in the world at large. She lacks a significant understanding of pop culture or some aspects of modern living. Honest to a fault, she very rarely sugar coats anything either good or bad. Her tendency is to give exactly as much praise or criticism as she thinks a situation deserves. Despite that, she dislikes being complimented on anything that isn't related to her work as she believes wholeheartedly that apart from her work there is nothing exemplary about what she does. It's just average aspects of an average individual.
Largely due to her father's influence, Eva has an incredible fondness for alcohol, especially beer. She tends to favor darker sorts of beers but is partial to pale ales very occasionally. It takes a good bit of drinking to get her tanked, and she doesn't often partake in this level of intoxication unless she's celebrating something. When drinking, her Irish roots become more prominent as the firm grasp on English that she has tried to maintain for professionalism loosens or disappears entirely.
Her morality is a little strange, a fact that is influenced by both her parents and lack of social contact. She doesn't much care about the deeds or disposition of those who would seek her services as long as they can pay. Within reason, she turns a blind eye even to those who participate in killing. The only exception to this is her absolute intolerance for any sort of harm to children or teenagers. Those who are foolish enough to admit to such behavior will find themselves on the receiving end of Eva's rarely seen rage.
Eva can appear cold and immovable, a trait that has both good and bad qualities. She is almost entirely unfazed in the face of danger or setbacks, though demonstrates an appropriate level of caution around potential threats. Others can find her unapproachable or hard to understand due to her lack of expression and emotive ability, however she is, on average, a friendly woman who can be fun to be around, especially when drinking.
Likes: Alcohol, Gadgets, Honesty,
Dislikes:: Liars, People that hurt children
POINTS OF INTEREST ----------------------------------------------------
- Eva was homeschooled and has some gaps in her knowledge of social norms and non-gadget related subjects
- She is an avid boxer that keeps to an almost robotic daily routine of exercise, skills training, and weight training.
- Her Quirk is produced from a father who is able to secrete high quality oil and a mother who is able to convert parts of her body to metal.
- Ultimately, Eva's dream is to own a workshop that is capable of traversing the countryside, allowing her to do business while bringing her tools with her.
CURRENT THREADS --------------------------------------------------
RECENT EVENTS ----------------------------------------
- Eva met Ann by chance when they both were doing errands in a machine shop. She was deeply intrigued by Ann's work, and the two became somewhat well acquainted. They exchanged numbers and still text periodically. Eva believes that Ann's seamless reproduction of organic parts with machinery is an incredibly valuable aspect of her Quirk. She is also aware of Ann's aspirations to enter UA. CURRENT PLOT POINT: Eva has learned of Ann's acceptance and intends to have a celebratory drink or several
- Her first truly notable commission for gadget creation came from Benji Wilson, who she helped make a set of goggles and a shield belt for. They may be working together for later projects. Eva has offered to repair Benji's belt at any time for free as she was moved by the sentimental value behind it.
- Eva and Vo met and have agreed to travel together after a conversation. She is getting used to his fishy exterior just as he's getting used to her questionable ability to interact with others.

Name
| Relationship to character
| | Benji Wilson | Eva met Benji at a tech convention where she was part of an event that allowed the populace to order commissions from select gadgeteers gathered there. Benji became one of her customers, and she agreed to make a shield belt and goggles for him as part of his hero equipment. Part of Eva's requirements for customers is to sit down to a drink or a meal and get to know them a bit, which they did. The exact details of their conversation aren't yet known at this time. Both have the others' contact information.
| | Ann Drover | The two met purely by chance at a mechanic's shop in England while Ann was visiting for a relative's wedding. Her Quirk was a source of intense interest for Eva who took the opportunity to politely question Ann about it. Over the course of the conversation, they became unlikely friends, despite Ann's shy nature and Eva's somewhat lacking social skills. They've exchanged numbers and presumably keep in contact. Assuming they've talked about them, Eva would disapprove of Ann's heroic aspirations but respects her decision.
| | Vogel “Vo” Van Der Visser | Vo and Eva met when Eva was taking a leisurely moment to relax along the shoreline, and Vo quite literally fell from the sky next to her. After some initial awkwardness, the two became friends and have even decided to travel together. There are still some rough patches in their ability to interact with each other, but they have an amiable relationship regardless.

MISC. OOC TIDBITS
| Quirks Made by Me |
|---|
| Name | Tier | Description | Fear
| Tier 3
| description Ability: -The user is able to infuse inanimate objects (hereby designated as "Phobias") with a pheromone-like substance that induces fear. This substance is secreted by the palms at the user's will, though a serviceable level of control over the ability isn't obtained until the age of 8. Any that step within the effective range of a Phobia will be struck with an irrational fear of the Phobia. Intensity of fear improves with control and is detailed in the section below. Phobias come with a slight attractive effect, causing attention to be drawn to them. Full details will be explained in the Limitations section.
Limitations: Phobias must be seen to take effect. In order to convert an object to a Phobia, the user must touch the object with their uncovered palm (no gloves or protective armor on this part of the hand). Initially, only one Phobia may be created at a time, increasing to 2 at control rank A and 3 at control rank S. Turning another object into a Phobia causes the the current one to lose potency. Phobias can be no larger than a watermelon and no smaller than a baseball until rank B, after which they can be up to the size of a person. This Quirk can never be used on living things. Objects that are turned into Phobias are effectively inert except for their ability to induce fear. The only other thing that can be done with a Phobia is put it down somewhere or throw it. When going over the limit, the user suffers -2 stat grade debuff in Stamina for 2 posts.
In order to take effect, the use of this Quirk must be paired with a technique. All techniques using Fear must be accompanied with an LP upkeep appropriate to the technique's level in order to maintain the effect for more than a turn. Upkeep multiplies by number of Phobias.
| Innate Archery | Tier 4 |
description Ability: The user’s body produces a natural bow and arrows. At the user’s will, arrows of bone fletched with feather-like muscle and tipped with a hard substance resembling chitin emerge like quills from one forearm. New bone is produced by the user to create these arrows. The opposite forearm comprises the bow: When the user wants to use it, two bony flaps, a bit like large spines , emerge from the sides of the forearm to form the classic bow-like shape. A high tension “bowstring” of tendon connects them. The Quirk’s user is born without a middle finger, replaced by a naturally calloused groove on the palm to fit the arrow. Mechanics from there are similar to a standard bow. Material rank of bow and arrows scales with control rank.
Limitations: - The user’s bow and arrows are specialized for each other. It’s particularly difficult to have a man-made bow that works with the user’s arrows or for man-made arrows to fit the user’s bow. Overuse of this Quirk causes use of the bow to be painful to the user, ruining their aim. They suffer a -2 stat grade to Accuracy for 2 posts. Without one of their middle fingers, the user’s attempts to flip people off have lost some of their potency. The user tends to need a lot of foods high in calcium since the arrows are produced from bone.
