Quirk Name: Armament

Type: Transformation

Range: Medium Range

User: Benjamin "Ben" de Brand Netsukaze

Vigilante Alias: Ben the Wrecking Ball (known as Ben de Sloopkogel in his home country, which is a pun on "Ik ben de sloopkogel" or "I am the wrecking ball")

Description: Armament allows Benjamin to manipulate his own cells in multiple different ways through unique properties within them. He does this through releasing specific "triggers" in the brain, with several different effects depending on the one used. These triggers can be released both internally through electrical signals, as a regular command from the brain would, or externally through directed sound waves with a specific frequency.

Proliferation Trigger: This trigger causes Ben's cells to rapidly increase in individual size and numbers. This increases the size, durability and strength of whichever part of the body that is affected. It can also be used for rapid regeneration.

Invasion Trigger: When used, his cells rapidly reproduce, invading any foreign surface upon contact and nestling within them. Unlike the proliferation trigger, cells created through this method do not increase in size, saving energy that would've been used for hypertrophy to instead allow the hyperplasia to function even quicker. When released internally, Ben has to be making contact with something, or else this trigger has no effect.

Arming Trigger: The primary function of Armament, this trigger forces Ben's cells to rapidly morph and take on a special property. When enough pressure or friction is applied on these morphed cells, they will detonate themselves and other cells around them, creating a massive explosion. This often goes paired with proliferation, allowing them to quickly fill up a small space.

Anti-Trigger: A set of triggers specifically to reverse the effects of the aforementioned ones, either eliminating excessive cells or reversing their transformation.

As he is constantly at risk of getting hurt due to the dangerous nature of his quirk, Ben's body is naturally more durable, having a high resistance to heat and shock. His pores are also capable of slightly opening up as to allow explosions to pass through if they were to happen inside his body.

Techniques:

Touch of Death: A combo that involves Ben making contact with his target, invading their body with his cells and detonating them. If contact is held long enough, the cells will have spread far enough as to completely atomize the target, leaving no trace.

Team Spirit: By invading a target's body without arming the cells, he may temporarily enhance their body, giving them a few minutes of great strength and speed. He can also heal any wounds at a quick rate.

Double Dynamite: Ben launches himself forward with an explosion at his feet, before proliferating and arming the cells in his arm. The target is then punched with high force, after which the punch is followed up with another explosion.

Body Blast: A last resort attack, Ben overloads his own body with armed cells. An explosion is released, damaging everything within a large radius of the user. Afterwards, almost all of his strength is lost.

Weaknesses: As the cells are completely cut off from any form of nutrition or oxygen once they leave the body, they will quickly die out and lose the ability to receive triggers, leaving Ben with only a few seconds to manipulate them.

When externally releasing triggers towards cut-off body parts, it may take a few seconds before they actually reach them, depending on the distance. The signals may also weaken over time and may not even reach the body part at all if its too far away.

Character Bio: Born in the Dutch city of Leiden to two quirkless parents, they were awestruck at what to do with Ben once his quirk manifested. They often had to visit doctors once some of the many features of his quirk activated, as he had little control over them at the time, and he would be mistaken for sick or injured. This great concern and care for Ben developed a feeling of inseparability between him and his parents.

The first time that Ben accidentally used his Team Spirit technique on his father, he immediately realized the opportunity his son had given him. He ended up often asking for a boost whenever someone needed justice as to allow him to save the day, while his son and wife proudly watched. He even made himself a costume to hide his identity.

However, he ended up facing a villain that easily tore apart his costume in a fight, which revealed his identity and allowed the police to arrest him for vigilantism. Ben was disgusted that his fearless acts of bravery were just tossed way in favor of the law, and ended up growing a deep hatred for society, planning to use the help of others with his similar resentment to overthrow the current law in favor of one that tolerated vigilante justice instead of punishing it.

Once his dad was released, he moved together with his parents to Japan, where he lied to his parents about seeking a future in the game industry as to allow him to fulfill his goals after becoming aware of people or organisations that he believes to have similar ideologies, like the Hero Killer and the League of Villains. Ben still helps his dad and designs costumes for his mother to make so he can constantly swap identities.
