Appearancel
Visual Appearance:
Height:
Variable (5’9”)
Weight:
Variable (105 lbs)
Physical Appearance:
Scorn is a grotesque figure, roughly humanoid in shape though only just. She is a putrid color, generally of dark sludge and the other garbage that makes up her new form. As an amorphous glob-like being, Scorn’s height and weight are highly fluctuating, and do not have set measurements. Prior to her Quirk activating, however, she was a moderately tall, mildly attractive girl, with short dark hair and cold, distant eyes.
Civilian Clothes:
In her transformed state, Scorn cannot wear clothing, as they will simply become ruined by the nature of her Quirk, or get in the way of her abilities. She does, however, enjoy wearing formal blouses, vests, and skirts in her human form.
Hero Outfit:
N/A.
Personality
General Personality:
The girl that was Chihiro Aramaki was a delicate, somber flower, one who did not think overly much of herself or her feelings, or the world in general. Her outlook, while outwardly bleak, glimmered with happiness under the surface, mostly thanks to those that kept her company. She felt more connected to those around her than to herself; when that broke, so did she. As Scorn, the girl is extremely bitter and vindictive, completely devoted to her goals of revenge on Naoki Hirose and all the scum like him. She hates Heroes and what she believes that they did to Naoki to make him the way he is, and will do everything she can to make their lives miserable.
While fixated largely on Naoki, Scorn has no qualms of doing terrible things to innocents, Quirked or Quirkless, and whether her boss tells her to or not. She is almost blindly loyal to her “family”, though is just as prone to wantonly wander to try and sate her sadistic streak. She has no eyes for anyone but Naoki... but that won’t stop her from having her fun every once in a while.
Personal Life
Mother:
Akiko Aramaki, Teacher. Her Quirk, Faucet, allows her to project a part of her body as a rapidly accelerating jet of water.
Father:
Gin Aramaki, Factory Worker. Quirkless.
Siblings:
Shizuko, Older Sister. Her Quirk, Slipstream, allows her to tap into the ambient energy of nearby forces in motion that she can manipulate for herself. She is currently interned with a Hero Agency.
Extended Family:
N/A.
History:
Since an early age, Chihiro’s life was spent on the streets. She was not homeless, though there were many reasons for her not to remain at home for long. Her parents often fought, and her mother and father contributed to her gross insecurity and self-loathing state of mind that has persisted in her to this day. Though Chihiro would return home from “school” or stay for a night here and there throughout her childhood, the girl eventually came to disassociate herself entirely from her life at home. There was nothing happy or relaxing for her there.
Instead, Chihiro found herself falling in with a group of morally dubious people, many of whom were her own age. These people were frightening to Chihiro, able to do things she had never seen before. They said that they were Quirks, gifts that made them above the society that had thrown them out. Though these people and what they could do intimidated the normal girl who didn’t have a Quirk, they were people who actually cared about her and who she was. Though her identity came from these very people, the feeling of security and identity was something that came all too easily to a girl who had never learned either of those things from her parents. At first, Chihiro didn’t understand why they welcomed her as they did, and neither did they, but their leader, a surly man who simply called himself KK, insisted that her place was with them. That was more than good enough for her. Though Chihiro often did illegal things while running with this group in her young adolescence, like helping the others commit robberies or fight back against the police, any moral dilemmas she might have otherwise had were largely overshadowed by the friendship she had found… and the love she had begun to feel.
Of everyone in her new “family”, Chihiro was drawn most to a big, rough and tumble delinquent known as Naoki. She was often paired with him on “jobs”, and though he had to pull her out of the fire on more than a few occasions, she managed to cover him a few times in her own way too. She quickly found herself falling for him, and she just knew he felt the same. For the first time in her life, Chihiro found herself happy, and eager to live the new life that she had embraced for a couple of years now.
As the years went by, though, and their family operation grew more lucrative, Naoki seemed to… change. He wasn’t as involved with the jobs anymore. He hardly went on them, leaving for long stretches of time, often without telling anyone. Without telling her!… she thought he had cared about her. Naturally, Chihiro came to understand why he might be acting the way he is. Living the way that they did could be stressful, even overwhelming at times. Though she had never felt the need to do so, the notion of running away and living on her own had appealed to the girl before. She had heard about U.A. High, and how Quirk users in Japan became “Heroes”. It didn’t make sense to her, how these people could run around using their Quirks not for themselves, and no sense of camaraderie among themselves either. They didn’t have a family like she and Naoki and all the others did under KK. KK had always said that they were bad people and shouldn’t be trusted, which Chihiro had taken to heart.
The next time Chihiro saw Naoki again would be the last. For the family’s latest job to help the Quirk users in the city, Chihiro had been asked to stay behind. She understood, having been asked not to come along for more dangerous jobs. She worried about Naoki all the same, and even more when the job apparently went terribly wrong. Many of the family didn’t return, Naoki included. Chihiro was beside herself, and could hardly eat or sleep, until finally KK told her that he was being held at a local prison. She went to him immediately, but if she had known what he was going to say to her, the girl would have sworn never to see him again. He talked about the family, how what they were doing was wrong. Even worse, he was thinking about being a… a Hero. The girl could hardly believe what she was hearing. One last time, she pleaded with him. If he loved her, he’d stay with her, right?... “But, I don’t love you.”
What more was there to say? Chihiro left the prison, running back into KK’s arms. In the midst of her sobbing and screaming, the girl felt something awaken deep inside her. A feeling she had never thought she would ever feel. It was a dark, sickening thing, left in place of where her love for Naoki-kun used to be. This dark feeling took over her body, turning it into a nauseous slime that permeated every part of her. She knew now that this was what she had always been. Naoki and the Heroes he so clearly wanted to be rather than be with her had helped her see that. In spite of all this hatred this awakened Quirk user had, however, she still felt her heart go aflutter when KK reminded her of one simple fact: she could have whatever she wanted.
And she wanted Naoki-kun.
Chihiro wasn't seen much in the years that followed. She stuck to the shadows, and for good reason. She never felt like she belonged anywhere, or was worthy of much of anything at all. Speaking generously, her circumstances prior to joining Team Confidence were miserable. She hardly said anything, and didn't exactly give off friendly vibes to the rest of the gang, but there was no question that Chihiro was one of the most loyal and effective members of the team. In spite of her growing rap sheet, Scorn remained apathetic to much. Though her past was long behind her at this point, the girl's lack of identity (not exactly helped by her Quirk being what it was) continued to drown out the girl's senses. She could hardly remember that boy's name now. Would she even recognize him if she saw him again? Had all of this really been for N... Na... it didn't matter. All Scorn had was the job. New prospects. New futures. The next big thing. That's what KK said, right? Maybe Scorn would find something for herself at the bottom of that bottle.
Maybe she wouldn't.
Quirk
Name:
Trash Idol
Quirk Type:
Transformer.
Power:
The user of this Quirk can transform their entire body into a transient form not unlike sludge. This form is extremely mobile, able to travel along the ground (or through the air if the transformation is performed during an aerial maneuver) at breakneck speed, and even more quickly when moving through a body of water. The user can also shapeshift while in this form, albeit generally limited to expanding their volume or transforming parts of their sludge-like form into crude weapons to use against their opponents. This form is highly impervious to damage, and highly adhesive and toxic to the touch; physical contact will cause severe nausea and sickness unless one has a Quirk that would protect them from or dampen the effect accordingly.
Supermoves:
Caravan of Garbage
Scorn’s primary Supermove. She can absorb matter into their sludge form, allowing her to store objects or even individuals for up to a few hours before she has to dislodge them. It is unclear what the limit on the amount of matter that can be absorbed, though Scorn has been shown to generally take things no larger than large automobiles like trucks or armored cars into herself. Scorn’s interior is extremely large, meaning that her sludge form is incredibly dense in volume. The user can physically manipulate the contents of her interior volume to an extent, like one might will changes in their body that affects things on the micro-level. The interior volume of the user is similar to the effects of her sludge form on the exterior, though changes can be made to accommodate targets that the user does not wish to succumb while inside her. This means that those trapped inside may find themselves in a space as open as a fetid cavern or as claustrophobic as a sealed coffin. In order to absorb a target, Scorn must completely envelop it in her form for a couple of seconds, though this time can be drastically increased if the object is large or is able to resist the process. Once inside, however, it is very dificulty for the target to escape. THey may attempt to struggle to make it easier for others to free them from outside Scorn's body, but they will remain trapped until Scorn lets them out herself or she is sufficiently weakened that she has to let them go.
Mouthwash
Scorn quickly and suddenly dives at the target’s mouth in her Trash Idol form, attempting to force herself down their throat. She rests in the subject’s esophagus for several seconds, causing her toxic properties to quickly subdue them. While this can be used nonlethally, Scorn often prefers to slowly and painfully kill her target as the poison overwhelms their body.
Mystery Box
Scorn compartmentalizes her form into a small container, significantly increasing its pressure. When it is opened, Scorn explodes outward, usually intending to smother the unsuspecting target in her slime, if she doesn’t absorb them entirely. This may also be used as a distraction, spraying errant sludge everywhere while she and others make their escape.
Drawbacks:
As useful as Trash Idol is in stealth and subterfuge, it can easily be recognized. No matter how many times the user may try to cleanse herself of the putrid stench her Quirk emits, it will only be able to be dampened for up to a few hours at best before its smell wears off and it will be able to be picked up on in a large radius. Splashing large amounts of water and other cleansing liquid on the user or prolonged exposure to (natural) sunlight will also force her to transform, though this does not do any actual harm to the user. The user may also be able to be trapped within airtight containers while in her sludge form, just like any other liquid.
Fighting Style:
Scorn had always used her Quirk in stealthy and underhanded ways, and that has not changed. She will not directly engage an opponent that she can simply dispose of with a dirty trick, or even behind the scenes entirely if she can do so. Honor or fairness are not things that occur to her at all, so opposed to these ideas. Though Scorn is not afraid to fight outright, she will only do so if cornered, and will fight like an animal at that. She is extremely vicious and unrelenting, unafraid to do anything and everything in order to come out on top. While certainly not an experienced fighter, Scorn has had her share of fighting Quirk users, and is exceptionally creative with her own, remarkably powerful Quirk.
