Class: A-1
Birthday: August 4th
Personality: Jacob a positive guy who almost always seems quite cheerful. It’s rare to see him without a smile on his face. Some might describe it as brave, others as stupid, but he believes in facing his problems head on, and he won’t hesitate to do so. He can be quite charming, and he enjoys flirting. He’s also tends to be quite energetic which tends to make him annoying to his more grounded classmates. Jacob is also a risk taker, and he can be a bit arrogant at times. By overestimating his own abilities, he sometimes finds himself in sticky situations. Despite this, he is surprisingly intelligent, and he can often find clever ways to get out of the mess he caused. Though he likes to goof around and party, he’s also a hard worker, and he does his best to live up to his family’s name.
Background: The Blum family is a decently well known family of heroes. A descendent of German immigrants, Jacob’s grandfather was one of the original heroes that helped lead the US into the Era of Light. His father even partook in a small part of it as well before making his name as a regular hero. Naturally, Jacob was born to high expectations. It didn’t help that he was the second born with an extremely successful older brother. With a powerful quirk and an advanced intellect, his brother whizzed through his courses. He became one of the youngest heroes in America, and he was definitely amongst the more popular ones. Jacob quickly found that he couldn’t make it over the hurdles his elder brother had left behind. Stuck in his brother’s shadow, Jacob felt it was useless to try to surpass his sibling, so instead he rebelled. Jacob became a troublemaker in and out of school, and he freely used his powers, to the bane of local authorities. If it wasn’t for his family name, Jacob might not have been eligible to become a hero. He found that he enjoyed this lifestyle. Doing whatever you wanted without caring what others think was fun for him, but then recently everything changed. Jacob’s older brother was killed under mysterious circumstances during a villain encounter leaving Jack as the oldest heir of the Blum family (the only other one being his younger sister who was still in elementary school). It was then that Jack decide to become serious about his studies both to save his family more grief and to honor his brother. After intensive studying, Jack scored on the higher end of the spectrum on the exam. While he was no genius, his score proved that he was quite smart.

Quirk: Turbine: Jacob has five built in turbines on his person. There’s one on each of his palms and one on his chest. On the back of each shoulder at about the shoulder blade, there’s rectangular metal boxes with turbines on the bottom of them. When powered up, the turbines on his back allow him to fly similarly to a jetpack but with wind propulsion. By making the propellers spin at an incredibly high rate of speed, the turbines can be used to fire jets/ blasts of wind. These jets of wind have a bludgeoning impact on the target, and, depending on the size, can even blow the target away or knock it over. When reversed, the turbines can produce a suction effect. However, this can be risky as if anything particularly sticky, durable, or destructive is sucked into a turbine it can stall or damage it. The other downside is that, when creating particularly powerful blasts of wind or when there is prolonged use of a turbine, they can overheat. This will cause the turbine to stall out until it cools down. While Jacob can push himself farther if he so chooses, doing so risk severe burns and damage to turbines (which would have to be fixed before it could perform at 100% again).
He's cute. Accepted.
Name:
Robert Gibbler
Preferred Hero Name:
Absorbo
Age:
15
Gender:
Male
Appearance:
Class:
A-1
Birthday:
August 14
Personality:
Robert is a shy young man with a strong sense of justice, even if he's a bit too hesitant to confront evildoers directly. He is very gullible and tends to take people's words at face value making it easy for others to manipulate him. He secretly craves attention and recognition for his good deeds but is much too shy to admit it. Robert joined the hero program because he wanted to conquer his fears and prove to everyone that he had what it takes to be a real hero. He doesn't like to brag about his quirk or even bring it up as he thinks of it as rather lame compared to the others in his class. Still he makes the best of it and faces every day like a new adventure.
Background:
Robert comes from your average small middle class family. His mother Sarah works as a nurse while his father Gabriel is a payroll manager for a local grocery chain. Finances were never tight though they didn't exactly have money to blow through willy-nilly. After discovering his quirk around the age of six by absorbing his nightly bath, Robert spent the rest of his life being told that his quirk was useless and dumb. Wishing to show everyone that he could be useful Robert enrolled in the hero course at Sierra Hero Academy, expecting to be brushed off like most of the other applicants. Much to his surprise he did quite well on the written exam and even managed to pull a decent place(28th) in the practical exam thanks to a destroyed fountain and a small opening in the robot's armor under the chin. He lives with his parents inside the city limits.

Dislikes:
Excessive Violence
His hero name (His mom picked it and he couldn't think of anything better)
Quirk:
Sponge
Robert's quirk has given his body the qualities of a sponge, allowing him to absorb liquids and store them in his skin. Storing too much causes his body to swell, making him much larger until he releases the excess. When pressure is applied to a part of his body Robert can release the liquid stored inside his skin, the force and shape of which depends on how the pressure is applied. For example squeezing his wrist will shoot a pressurized blast from his hand while getting hugged will cause it to ooze from his pores all over his body.
This spongy body is also quite squishy and makes him very resistant to blunt force as the weapon or fist sinks harmlessly into his form like a mattress. Piercing and slashing weapons hurt him like normal though.
Finally, Robert possesses a remarkable natural regeneration, letting him heal light wounds in fifteen minutes, heavy wounds in a few hours, and even lost limbs in a few days. Because of the time it takes to complete it is not suitable for combat purposes and is usually only used for patching up afterwards.
I love him. I want to squish his face. Accepted.
