Piece 4

I made this!! It's of one of my new mha original characters; based off my favorite monster from the monster Hunter series: bazelgeuse. She has a whole story line too, well more like deep development. Her whole family is an incredibly well known pro hero line the world over for having quirks related to the creatures found in the monster Hunter game series. What also captures the interest of the public eye about her family is the way which their quirks develop. *LENGTHY EXPLANATION AHEAD*

There is no guarantee the child will inherit one of the parent's quirk, and the quirks cannot mutate together to create something more powerful. Sometimes they have a rajang transformation quirk that was had by a distantly related third cousin who died decades ago, maybe they get a quirk gives them a royal ludroth mane who is still alive. It all depends. But her immediate family has a very interesting variety of quirk diversity. Her father ( Tatsu Mochiko) also has the bazelgeuse quirk, with the same type of abilities. The mother's (Budou Mochiko) quirk is abyssal wyvern; she can absorb, manipulate, and generate water at will and can spew out electricity to make the water violently erupt into steam. She also has various spots along her body that glow in the dark  and multiple long jaw whiskers to  similar namielle; the abyssal wyvern.

Bazeru quirk allows her to fire off explosive scales from her neck and tail. They are formed in glands in her neck and tail, then stretch out and cool when coming into contact with the air. These scales are shot off her at will & explode after being oxidized or when stimulated by the slightest touch or sound. These scales are replaced quickly, within a matter of minutes. But if Bazeru enters her superheated state they explode in seconds and will explode even if they are still attached to her body. They are incredibly deadly with a large blast radius causing severe damage to anything caught. These scales can stick to vertical surfaces too. She can also emit ear splitting roars and loud bellows with specialized vocal chords that act similar to a screamer sac. In her body is also an explosive sac that allows her to breathe out a short range fire blast. Her incredibly sturdy, sound, and muscular form allows her to merely tackle her opponents into submission. Bazeru is excellent at hand-to-hand combat as well so she is a formidable threat even if you took her quirk away. Her arms have mutated into special wings that allow for flight... although she is much better at gliding and can get herself stuck if not careful. But her in flight skills are very fast, but silent like an owl allowing her to perform her favorite combat technique of simply carpet bombing foes from above before silently swooping away. Similar to the video game creature Bazeru gets incredibly aggressive if someone encroaches upon her personal property or will simply act this way to assert her dominance. She rules over her part of the family with an iron fist. This leads to daily arguments with Bakugo for their hotheaded behavior and similar quirks.  Her jaws though are somewhat weaker than the average human and must (like the Bazelgeuse) heat up any meat, fish, and poultry with her bombing scales to soften it. Bazeru is also immune to her own explosions for having literal thick skin and a sturdy frame. She can inflict fireblight and blastblight too. But her weaknesses are vast. Hitting her head, wings, back, or tail causes massive damage, the tail can even be broken off if sustained enough damage and cannot grow back but the force required to do so is near impossible to reach due to the largely fictitious nature of her quirk. She is also vulnerable to thunder/electricity, ice, or dragon based quirks. A fight with Denki or Todoroki is a near guaranteed fail. Bazeru is easily manipulated via her anger, use the right phase and she'll just explode her scales into forced exhaustion. Her superheated state makes her skin glow orange red, it's activated when triggered by strong negative feelings or being excited. Oh and did I mention she can turn into bazelgeuse as well for some extra power? 😏

Bazeru's older sister , Nuuju has a mutation of her mother's quirk abyssal wyvern. Nuuju can still spew out electricity and water however she has the massive wings  of the elder dragon extending full size from her back. She also has its tail and her arms and legs are the same as the namielle's but of course they are smaller as to be proportionate to her body. She can even transform into the namielle itself which is her greatest strength. Nuuju is incredibly beautiful and wise, making her a popular student at UA, even getting numerous offers from pro hero agencies in her first year. Family remains her number one priority, never hesitating to put her life on hold for them. However she is weak to becoming tangled up by her wings and being weighed down by them in some situations. Another weakness is that she is vulnerable to fire or heat based quirks or hot places. Those  dry her up fast, making her lose energy, turning milky beige and brown... then passing out.

Finally the youngest of the Mochiko family is the 10 year old Reizou. His quirk is called " Ratha". It is a common quirk that runs in the family but was last seen  in his great-grandmother on the dad's side so many assumed it was gone after she died. They were wrong and the might of the rath species lives on. Reizou can transform into the iconic Rathalos at will which the family will soon learn they need to help him control. In his human form he can emit the same vocalizations as the monster as a tactic to damage the hearing of the listener or as an intimidating factor. He can also fly too, being noted as the king of the skies! Reizou is also very fast on land or flight and can keep up with many speed or flying based quirk users. He can often beat them in races. Although tight spaces with obstacles often see him stumbling to get around. Reizou's final Rathalos ability in human form is having the horns and facial protrusions of said monster. Even Reizou's got some things that could bring his defeat in fights. Similar to his sisters and parents, he is weak to thunder or electricity based quirks. He is also vulnerable to water, ice, and dragon based quirks too. If Reizou gets submerged in water his ability to transform into Rathalos is disabled until he is dry, if you do that you essentially make Reizou no threat to you at all. His power lies in his other form! If he gets too cold his movements slow to a crawl.
