Quirk Name: Adaptive Enhancement

Type: Mutant

Range: Close Range

User: Justin (de Groot) Ozaru

Hero Name: Manhunt

Description: This quirk manifests as a unique process in Justin's brain capable of altering biochemical processes in his body by accelerating or decelerating their production, as well increasing or decreasing their effect on him to superhuman levels. The brain utilizes this feature by using the improvement and augmentation of certain body parts to more quickly adapt to whatever situation the user may find themselves in.

This ability can only function by using excessive energy in Justin's body to fuel active processes that are currently in need of a boost. As a result, he requires a healthy sleep schedule as well as plenty of nutrition to be capable of utilizing this quirk to its fullest potential. If he doesn't have energy to spare, the body may slow or shut down less important processes to fuel others depending on the situation.

Biochemical processes related to increasing the his physical performance are always passively being boosted unless the situation requires otherwise. This grants Justin naturally great strength, speed and durability. He is capable of consciously controlling his quirk to a certain degree by surpressing or forcing an enhancement by a small bit, but can only access its full capabilities subconsciously.

Techniques:

Beast Mode: The main combat-based application of this quirk. When Justin's body produces hormones such as epinephrine and norepinephrine as a result of a fight-or-flight response, or he administers it himself, his quirk may amplify the effects of the hormones, causing a massive increase in the bloodflow to the muscles, output of the heart, pupil dilation and blood sugar well beyond a regular human's capabilities.

It may also trigger an increase in multiple other processes in the user's body, most notably the production of materials composing the human body, causing rapid growth in Justin's hair, teeth, nails, muscle and his body overall, as well as even more hormones, which allows him to quickly outgrow and overpower any threat to him. The technique gets its name from the beast-like appearance he takes on as a result from the excessive hair, overly long nails, giant teeth and overall size.

De Groot Explosion: Exhaust: A technique that can only be performed with multiple people, Justin clamps to any other participating ally and jumps forward with great force, before throwing the other participant(s) forward with even greater power to complete the De Groot Explosion with a sub-technique called the De Groot Explosion: Warhead.

Weaknesses: As the majority of his quirk's potential is mostly activated subconsciously and therefore out of Justin's control, the only way for the him to draw out my strength then he is usually capable of is by actively putting himself in a situation in which the process in question would be triggered, sometimes forcing him to put himself at risk.

The behavioral changes granted by the rapid increase in hormones in Beast Mode can lead to Justin becoming extremely aggressive, violent, imprecise and competitive, leading to a large amount of collateral damage if he lets their urges get the better of him.

Character Bio: Son of the popular Dutch hero Chowdowner, his fame often drawed a lot of attention towards Justin, something which he great enjoyed. While his father enjoyed the fame just as much as he did, he would always continue to remind his son to stay humble and not let it rise to his head, an advice which he took to heart, which was the seed of Justin's most defining character trait: his realism.

Justin ended up developing an extremely amoral look at the concept of justice when he met his best friend Benjamin de Brand, who told him about how his own father got arrested for enforcing the law illegally, despite his bravery and skill. Justin began to believe that the current society's idea of justice is faulty and he only wanted to do what's best for humans. He kept this part of his morality secret, especially from his family, in the hope that he could someday bring forth some sort of change that twisted the law in his image.

When Ben ended up becoming a villain in Japan, Justin continued to sneakily stay in touch with him and listen to his stories about how he was making great progress in searching others like him while he was hoping that Justin would join him someday to create true justice.

One year after Ben left for Japan, Justin and his family moved as well for Japan's high quality high school like U.A, where they were hoping to enroll him in. Justin and Ben ended up coming up face-to-face for the first time in said year and have been continuously meeting in different places around their city to hang out and discuss their plans since.
