HOO BOY do I have an info-dump for y’all. X’D
Ner’s design has been one I’ve been incredibly proud of for awhile and rebooting him for bnha has been p danged FUN. XD Chu’s new though, and I already love her.^^
Info-dump below this line:
Height: 8 freaking feet. VERY BIG BOI.
Quirk Info: Ner’s Canis Major quirk is a combination of his mother’s quirk, (which turns her into a teacup Pomeranian), and his father’s Quirk, Moon Phase (Which increases his physical ability as the moon waxes, and decreases it as it wanes, and does the reverse regarding his senses. Meaning that he’s at his physical peak under a full moon and his senses are at their peak under a new moon). Ner takes after the “Full Moon” aspect of his father’s ability, being in excellent physical form, and quite large, only to match his father when under a full moon when using his Canis Major Quirk. Once Canis Major is activated, Ner turns into a massive red and gold wolf-dog, being roughly 7.5 feet in length, and 4 feet tall at the shoulder. Ner’s senses, while naturally stronger then a normal humans, however, are unchanged.
Drawback: Like many transformation quirks, Canis Major cannot be active for an extended period of time. Shortly after 15 minutes, Ner begins slowly losing his more “human” thought processes, leaving behind only animal-like thoughts and instincts. While he can recover as long as he deactivates his quirk or is knocked out while still retaining some humanity, for every minutes over 15 minutes it takes him 30 minutes to an hour to recover from. While recovering, he is unable to speak, and basically acts like a big dumb dog.
If he does not deactivate his quirk before losing his humanity, he is unable to turn back, and “Ner”, the person, as we know him, will be lost entirely.
-Ner and his family escaped their home countries and lived in Europe for several years as refugees. Having spent his childhood in a place of war, violence, and discrimination, Ner is not only hugely ANTI-discrimination, but since his childhood, has wanted to be a hero who brought peace, with the strength to end the bloody chaos in his homeland. His dream brought he and his family to Japan where he now attends UA.
-Ner’s quirk causes him to be entirely carnivorous, and he is unable to digest most non-meat foods properly if at all. Eating veggies in particular can give him terrible stomach problems.
-Ner is deathly allergic to chocolate.
-Ner get’s his glowing golden eyes from his father, and his hair from his mother. His skin, however, is due to a thin layer of dark red fur covering his body, and him having very dark skin underneath.
-Ner’s father looks like a werewolf/wolfman, but his mother is a very petite, sweet and energetic women.
-When terribly injured, Ner tends to transform instinctively, but cannot utilize reason very well, instead behaving in a very primal like manner, and essentially going berserk and attacking anyone or anything nearby unless knocked out or otherwise calmed. 600 lbs of frightened, injured muscular doggo does not a fun time make.
-He is huge, and his size and appearance make him intimidating...but in truth, he is a very calm, polite, and caring sweetheart. He is simply very quiet, and his face is not the most expressive.
-The Constellation his quirk is named after has interesting mythologies; While greek mythology has the constellation in honor of a hunting dog who was so swift and strong he could catch any prey, in Chinese mythology, Canis Major is thought to be “The Celestial Wolf”.
Name: Chumki “Chu” Ophois
Quirk Info: While Ner’s quirk takes after the “full moon” aspect of their father’s “Moon Phase” quirk, Chu’s takes after the “New Moon” aspect of it, giving her incredibly enhanced senses once she transforms (Which in her case just looks like a sparkly blue/black wolf-dog furry). However, much like her brother is large and strong outside of his transformation, Chu’s senses can be enhanced outside of this form, but are limited to her only being able to enhance one at a time, and in order to do so, must shut off another of her 5 senses. When in her furrier form, Chu is able to keep all senses on full, or turn off and on senses as she needs them in order to prevent her senses from getting overwhelmed, but if surprised by a sudden loud noise, overwhelming smell, or a lot of pain, will not be able to do so in time.
Drawback: Her furrier form has a similar limitation to Ner’s, only she only hold it for 10 minutes before beginning to lose herself to her canine instincts. She dislikes this sensation immensely, and often refuses to take her furrier form except in the most extreme of situations. Likewise, whatever her form, if whatever sense that is heightened get’s overwhelmed, Chu can suffer splitting migraines for hours after, and if multiple enhanced senses are overwhelmed, All of Chu’s senses instinctively turn off, putting her in a temporary state of being unable to feel, hear, see, smell, or taste anything at all for several minutes. This is notably terrifying, and another reason why she dislikes her transformation.
-While unlike Ner, Chu can eat anything a normal person can (although needs more protein and iron in her diet then most people), But is infact Nocturnal, making her sleepy and lazy during daylight hours, and causing her to fall asleep quiet a bit in school.
-Chu is incredibly intelligent, and always looking for new, interesting things or challenges...when without any of these, she get’s easily bored and often begins causing trouble, or just napping, depending on the time of day.
-She can use her quirk to enhance her hearing enough to hear the heartbeat and breathing of someone, and tell if they’re lying.
-Chu pretends that she doesn’t remember anything from the war torn country she was born in on account of being too young, but her intelligent, keen mind remembers quite a few details she wishes she could forget.
-Chu’s love of mental challenges causes her to love mystery novels and puzzles, and she’d like to take up a detective-esc/investigative career. Whether or not that leads her to join her brother in UA is unknown.
-Chu’s eyes are actually silver, but their faint glow often makes them look pink. Her eye color is inherited from her mother, while her hair is a lightly brighter shade her her father’s blue-black fur. Additionally, while using his quirk under a full moon, Chu and Ner’s father’s fur glows white, but when under a New Moon, his fur does glimmer as if full of stars...Chu inherited this. (Her freckles also come from her mother but her’s do softly glow)
-The constellation sharing the name of Chu’s quirk is named after has several interesting mythologies; In greek myth, the constellation is in honor of a dog who’s master was murdered, leading the dog to end it’s own life in despair. In Egyptian mythology, however, Canis Minor is affiliated with Anubis, the god of the underworld, who brings souls through the halls of truth, and weighs their hearts, giving them their final judgement. Anubis is also depicted as a black African wolf (commonly mistaken for a Jackal), and wears a blue headress, explaining her blueish hair.
-”Ophois” is a variant pronunciation of the Egyptian deity: Wepwawet, a war deity, who, much like Anubis, was depicted with the head of a wolf or dog, but while Anubis was associated with black, Wepwawet was often depicted as a white wolf/dog. The two deities were thought to have been combined at some point in Egyptian history, however their are some myths of Wepwawet being the son of Anubis. The “white” and “black” deities are tied into their father’s appearance under full/new moons, as well as his two very different children, and Wepwawet being a war deity, and Anubis being a death deity connects to the war and death their family escaped.
-Just a fun tidbit I recent found out: In Norse mythology, part of the “end of the world” myth was that the giant wolf, Fenrir’s two offspring would devour the sun and moon respectively...which really fits into these two’s color schemes.
