OC Tournament IV: Registration

Good Morning r/BokuNoHeroAcademia. Its your lovable OC Tournament Host, MastaCoon!!! Welcome to the 4th OC Tournament of the sub!! Its that time again that we get new judges and new contestants to blow the last tournament out of the water. This go around we're trying some new things to add a little spice to the tournament. To start things off, I'd like to introduce you to our new judges. We originally started with 3, but as the request started building up, we decided to come fully stocked with judges to better improve the overall performance of the tournament.

So, I'd like for you to be introduced to the new judges.

• u/Orange-Card, u/your_lord_arceus, u/Ex-Caliber, u/reycom, u/Golden-Owl, u/Mastacoon, And finally r/BokuNoHeroAcademia.

As you can see, not including the community, we've doubled our judges and all of them have experience in participating in a tournament. So treat them with respect, and they shall do the same. We are here as a resource, and we've been in contact with each other for 2 weeks. So we've gotten an understanding of what we want this tournament and what to expect. All thats left is for you to use us and work with us to bring the best version of your OCs to life. The better your OCs are the better the tournament. So lets work together and make this the best one to date.

Below is the template, I remember stating that certain abilities are restricted, such as teleportation, time manipulation, and perception manipulation.These abilities are off limits, unless creatively done where these arent the focus of the ability but a secondary result of a different ability. 

**OC Template**

**Character Name:** (Hero/villain Name), Age, Hometown

**Bio:** Brief description of your OC. Physical, mental whatever

**Quirk:** 
> Name of ability and 3-5 sentences describing it.
          
> Name 3-5 techniques and their properties (Range, Charge Time, Cool Down)

> Weakness: Public weakness, and a private one will be messaged to judges upon selection.

**Fighting Style:** Quirk Based, H2H, Hybrid

**Stats:** 15 Base Stats + 10 Quirk Points(Max Base Stats: 5; Max Quirk Points: 10)

**Strength:** is straightforward enough, referring to your general physical power or ability to hit hard. This deals with physical capabilities mostly, but can also refer to overall damage output. Kirishima is an example of a Quirk user who's ability augments his strength, as it allows him greater direct physical offense. Kaminari gets listed with low base strength but high Quirk points due to the power level of his discharge. Yaoyorozu however, gets less of a strength boost, as her Quirk doesn't boost her direct offensive power and instead arms her with weaponry, which is an indirect improvement.

**Speed:** has two main components: mobility and reaction time. Speedsters like Iida logically have high stats due to movement buffs from their Quirk, but people with high speed stats can also be viewed as having Quirks that enhance their reaction time somehow. High Speed also can imply great mobility. An example of these would be Ojiro, who's tail allows him greater mobility and dexterity. Or Pop Step who's Quirk allows for super high jumps.

**Defense:** refers to one's... defense. Its your ability to block, guard or otherwise reduce incoming damage to yourself or others around you. This can be of armor variety (Tetsutestu's Steel granting physical resistances) or of the barrier variety (that 1-B student who can create barriers out of air).

**Endurance:** refers to stamina, willpower, pain resistance and general tankiness. Its your ability to take damage, stress or pain and continue onwards. This is also straightforward, but has some unique cases. Izuku has excellent willpower to endure the injuries of his Quirk, but Satou has poor stamina since overusing Sugar Rush will mentally sap his mental stamina.

**Quirk Mastery**  refers to a person's understanding of how his/her Quirk functions, and their awareness of its secondary functions. High Quirk Mastery allows a user to develop alternative, unorthodox uses for their Quirk, allowing them to create unusual techniques based on tweaking certain aspects of them. Once this stat is above 5, the OC can accomplish secondary abilities that would take experience and mastery to attain. Mirio doesn't teleport but his ability allows him to when his mass overlaps another. His mastery would be above a 5. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**Rules:**

* Contestants battle based on statements and rebuttals. Unless otherwise stated, each contestant will have 1 statement and 3 rebuttals to convince the community that they are a better hero. Stats mean nothing, but its how you use those abilities. 

* Plan to take advantage of the stage.

* Plan to complete your objective.

* No deaths or mortal wounds will be allowed.

* No leaving the area of the map provided, or specifically given.

* Each Match gets a full week to respond.

* You are only as weak as your imagination, but stay within reason.

* The Community is a Judge. So as a community, its your responsibility to call in to question abilities that you would consider OP or inconsistent with the OC's character or previous statements. It isn't only on the elected judges anymore. everyone is a participating judge. 

* As this is the first time that we are allowing community upvotes to influence matches. PLEASE DO NOT DOWNVOTE ANY CONTESTANTS STATEMENTS OR REBUTTALS. If you disagree, simply state why you disagree. It would help the discussion way more than people being downvoted with no responses why. 

~~~~~~~~~~


**Deadline: April 7th**

**First Match: April 10th**

Tip/Reminders:

The judges and I will help as many people as we can edit and nerf/buff their abilities as you all submit your OCs. We will do our best to guide you without telling you what to change because we simply want you to flush your abilities out on your own. Not make them our own. We are here for you. 

When creating your OCs consider them at the Sports Festival Tournament. The first round will be new for you, and each round after will be more information on yourself and your rivals

There will be more objective based rounds this go around. So be creative. Everyone doesnt have to be an offensive type. The world needs sidekicks and recon specialist.

Enjoy the experience. Remember to kick ass and have fun.
