Quirk Name: Vector

Type: Emitter

Range: Close Range

User: Kenko Hagiwara

Hero Alias:  Malignant Hero: Maladious Hex

Description: The user of this quirk is, due to multiple altered features in the body's circulatory system, capable of housing and utilizing various pathogenic microörganisms including bacteria and viruses, among others in several offensive and defensive ways. Kenko's blood naturally contains an unknown chemical that seemingly attracts these microörganisms both by encouraging them to travel towards her body as well as physically attracting them, similar to a magnet, to the point that some particularly small pathogens are capable of being filtered out of the veins and skin of others through contact.

Kenko has an incredible immune system, being unaffected by every single illness known to man. While this is mostly caused by her enhanced white blood cells, which work faster and produce better antibodies than regular humans, Kenko is also able to steal antibodies of others in a similar method to her ability to absorb pathogens, making her immune to diseases the moment they enter her body.

Once inside her body, these pathogens are mutated by another chemical that causes heavy alterations in the pathogen's DNA that heavily encourages reproduction and makes its genetic coding vulnerable to further mutations that help increase its infectiousness, among other traits. The most important mutation however, is one that creates a direct connection between the pathogen's body and Kenko's brain, making her able to fully control each individual microörganism's movement with extreme precision as well as sense their location, despite not being able to see them. This allows her to willingly emit all diseases she absorbs and easily infect others.

Techniques:

Malice Aura: Kenko releases a large cloud of airborne pathogens and allows a (preferably unarmed) individual to come close. Once caught in the trap, the offender is infected, with the symptoms immediately manifesting and disabling them.

Weaknesses: Kenko must first catch a disease before being able to manifest her quirk's effect onto it. This means that living in a clean environment prevents her from using her quirk to its fullest potential and forces her to seek out sick individuals or dirty areas.

Kenko has no control over the mutations microörganisms undergo once inside her blood. While they may grow stronger, they also may instead grow weaker or simply change in effect, becoming a new disease altogether. A disease becoming too strong may also have the side effect of becoming incurable, forcing her to be extra wary while controlling the disease to not infect allies. While the pathogens can be removed, the symptoms may remain for various periods of time, or may never go away at all. Alternatively, this can also mean a disease may not be efficient enough to bypass a healthy immune system, leaving her quirk ineffective.
