#im doing the brackets thing with the quirk name because of a fic i read and now i can't stop doing it

[psyoniks]

okay mha oc time, i hope this is organized enough

---------------------

i have a few different names for him over the years but right now I'm attached to:

Chiaki Sakyū

Chi - 散 scattered, Aki[ra] 明 - bright, light, clear, scattered light

Sakyū - 砂丘 - dune, sand dune, sand hill,

his given name is a placeholder, mainly because i can't think of another name relating to his quirk, so i gave him a more 'usual' name but with different kanji(hoping i did it right). scattered light could be a reference to how shattered glass catches the light.

also wouldn't it make more sense if given names were based on the person's quirk and family names weren't? idk maybe im misunderstanding how japanese names work/the structure if it.

i also haven't made a design that I like yet but I'll draw him at some point.

Sakyū is currently in class 1a/1b limbo hell purgatory. i can't decide which class would work better for him.

Quirk stuff

[Sand Control] - the user can create sand(assuming to the molecular level and from using natural minerals found in the body) and control it via telekinesis.

I'm guessing it would be Emitter type, I'd have to look at the types again to be sure.

---------------------

Okay so since telekinesis based quirks are KINDA overpowered, like he can do a lot JUST with the sand part, not even including the telekinesis. he's going to have a few drawbacks.

Drawbacks of [Sand Control]:

- If Sakyū uses his quirk for too long, physically it puts a strain on his hands and arms, the constant feeling of friction burn, even if the sand is not directly coming from his hands.

- His skin is not toughened in any way, so he isn't immune to abrasion or cuts from his quirk.

- He can get extremely dehydrated and usually passes out if he overuses his quirk.

- Since his quirk uses natural minerals in the human body and converts into sand(trying my best here, don't think about it too much), he's also probably deficient in a ton of things. which also contribues to him passing out.

-In the very, very far future, he realizes that his quirk can have more uses. In the situation he can control sand to molecule level, it would make sense he could seperate the composition of sand and control the individual components. Natural glass perhaps.

- If would have to come directly from his skin however, since he isn't used to seperating sand and would require more focus than he can handle while using telekinesis at the same time. And since his skin is normal skin, saying it would hurt would be an understatement. He'd probably figure something out eventually but not anytime soon because he's already OP and I'm trying to power scale here.

- Most telekinetic based quirks have headaches as a drawback, and so does Sakyū. Worst case scenario it turns into a migraine.

--------------------- Other stuff that's kinda quirk related

- NOT a drawback stemming from his quirk, completely unrelated, is that Sakyū has tactile based sensory issues. Mainly regarding to more rough textures or grainy textures like cotton swabs/balls, dry towels, rougher fabrics, sandpaper, sand, etc. even if he didn't have [Sand Control], he would still have sensory problems.

- like just imagine having a quirk that just makes whatever texture/other forms that you're sensitive to and constantly getting overstimulated. i'd be so unhappy all the time. literal sensory hell.

- quirk counselors(blurring between canon and fanon here really quick because I like the idea of them) just thought he could create sand and advised to try and not activate it since it was causing him obvious distress.

- this probably means he was overstimulated a lot as a kid when his quirk manifested. if he ever did accidentally activate his quirk(as kids have poor control over their quirks) and didn't figure out the telekinesis part of it yet, then sand would touch his skin.

(i like to think because of telekinesis bullshit, he can create the sand without/before it touching his hands, but it takes a lot of effort and focus so eventually he got gloves to try and make it easier)

(that also takes a lot of concentration since he isn't used to wearing gloves and using his quirk, under the assumption that it wouldn't work at all)

(and his hero costume is completely covering his skin with thicker fabric which also just protects his skin from damaging himself from his own quirk. his sensory problems aren't as severe as when he was a young kid, but sometimes its hard for him to try and push through it, especially in stressful situations and he ends up getting overstimulated)

- once he did figure it out that the sand didn't have to touch his skin, kid Sakyū was a menace to anyone he didn't like. teachers, other kids, strangers that just looked at him wrong. immediate sand aimed straight for the eyes.

- of course his parents were not at all happy that their kid was being an asshole and often times were forced to hold his hand whenever they went somewhere with public until the age of 8 to try and prevent him from using his quirk. even then Sakyū could still probably figure ways around it.

- he eventually grew out of the habit of temporarily blinding the innocent but he is often still the victim of getting sand in his own eyes when he's tired or not paying attention, a subconscious thing.

- no suprise that his eyes also aren't immune so it hurts like hell. karmic retribution.

---------------------

that's probably the basic of quirk related stuff for now, I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. i can get into details about his personality later and im not going to get into the specific of all the ways he could hypothetically use his quirk because then I'd be here all day.
