Denryū Shūko - 電流周子
(Name made of "electric", "current", "circuit", and "child")

HERO NAME: Shocking
Quirk: Electric Field
—This allows the user to emit electric currents into the ground creating a field of electricity within a certain radius. These electric currents can vary in size depending on the user's stamina and endurance. When mastered to some extent, the field created can be varied in ways such as spotted, diagonal, randomized, etc.. The user isn't limited to being within the electric field and can place them to their liking—if they are skilled enough.

Quirk Cons: The less stamina and endurance the user has, the more likely they are to being electrocuted. If this quirk isn't mastered to some extent, it will be harmful to the user and those around them. This quirk is limited to ground use only, therefore making them useless when they aren't contacting the ground below them.

Background: Shūko always dreamed of becoming a hero, and felt even more determined to become one after she was told by her grandmother that there was a darkness in her heart just waiting to grow. She completely disregarded it and worked hard every day to get into UA High School. She passed the entrance exam and made it into the hero course where she met Denki Kaminari, the the boy with an electric quirk. The darkness in her festered into jealousy and pure envy of the boy who had a much more powerful quirk that was similar to hers, but on a completely different level. She believed that there was close to no limitations to his quirk, while hers was limited to groundwork. She grew to despise the boy for not harnessing his quirk to its full potential, and slowly hate herself for being at such a lower level than the boy.

Fighting Style: Shūko's fighting style is limited to the ground so she's hardly seen in the air—or jumping. Any other time she is keeping close to things—such as a wall—so she can make direct contact in order to use her quirk. She fights purely in hand-to-hand combat and only uses her quirk when there are large numbers of opponents. (She can't control her quirk to the point of placing fields, so she has to be careful not to overuse it or be electrocuted.)

Costume Ideas: Shūko's costume includes large, empty battery-like packs that she can throw to the ground and cause concentrated bursts of electricity to specific areas on the ground. She wears a costume that directs the electric current within her body to allow her to use her quirk more effectively and lower the risk of electrocuting herself. (What do you think she should have?)

Fun fact: I imagine Shūko considering herself Kaminari's rival, while the poor boy is just vibing on the side doing his own thing.
