Quirk: Broadcast

Type: Emitter/Mutation

Description: Broadcast can be a very helpful and easy quirk to handle with the right amount of skill. At the age of 5, two red orbs attach to the ends of two stands of hair. These strands become antennas, in a sense. From then, the antennas help the user hair the quietest things, from voices to high pitch frequencies average human ears can’t hear.

The actual term “broadcast” comes into play here. After receiving whatever noise or message, the user can expel it through their mouth. They can amplify the sound, like Present Mic, and distort the message as well.

Another cool ability that comes with it is that, they can connect to antennas to other devices momentarily to display the message to anything in range. ——————

Weakness: With a quirk designed for input/output of noise, it obviously takes a punch at the user’s voice and stamina. Overtime, broadcasting loud noises will cause the user to become dehydrated and receive a sore throat. Even further than this is the temporary loss of their voice.

The antennas seem to have the best effect in places with loads of WiFi servers. Industrial settings are the best place for the quirk to work. Forest/wilderness settings are the worst. Water also effects the antennas, often malfunctioning if exposed to moisture for too long

Broadcasting through devices is what works down the user’s stamina. Remaining in control of connection, keeping broadcasts from reaching unwanted places and keeping the amplification at a stable level are just some of the things that factor into the loss of stamina.

Known Super Moves:

Siren: The user, after hearing a loud noise, expels the noise with maximum amplification and at the highest speed so that what comes out is a loud, ear grating pitch that makes rows of enemies crumpling to the ground due to not begin able to handle the pitch.

Micro-Screech: Inspired by Present Mic, this super move takes the user’s own voice and broadcasts it onto nearby devices. Then, suddenly amplifies the sound for a blasting attack.

Radiostar: By applying and broadcasting multiple, confusioning voices that lured the opposer towards the user, the amplification slowly lessens until the opponent is less than a foot away. Then, the user distorts the voice (aka, literal earrape) to disorientate the opponent or allow another hero to effectively take them down without much of a challenge.
