Quirk Name: Hive

Type: Emitter

Range: Long Range

User: Hachi Chuoko

Hero Name: Joobachi

Description: Hive allows Hachi to asexually reproduce, mutating her own egg cell to clone its own set of chromosomes and thus effectively cloning herself in general. These 'impregnated' egg cells quickly develop from embryos into fully-grown human beings in mere seconds. Once fully developed, Hachi may willingly birth these clones whenever she desires, after which they rapidly develop until their body has reached a state of development reflecting her age. Once this process has finished, a new egg cell almost immediately replaces the old one. Only Hachi has this ability; her clones are quirkless.

These clones have altered DNA that affects the development in their brain in a way that only allows them to perform conscious actions through commands given by Hachi herself and her only, even ignoring basic instincts like hunger, thirst, sleepiness, fear, aggression and curiosity unless she allows them to act on them. Clones are automatically born with information like their identity and location already passed onto them, but can also consciously be given commands as they're conceived.

Every being in Hachi's hive is telepathically connected, and can access each other's senses and memory to receive information from each other. Clones cannot tell each other apart, but recognize Hachi through a specific scent she automatically starts to emit as long as at least one clone is alive and awake, which only they can smell. Hachi's dark skin also has recognizable yellow markings on it that allow her clones to easily see her from a distance, where her scent won't reach them.

Techniques:

Order of Succession: Hachi allows another person to command some or all of her clones. Said person may pass them onto another, and they will follow their every command as they would with Hachi. The only command they can and always will refuse is to betray Hachi, unless she has previously allowed them to do so. The new wielder of the clones is not telepathically connected them, and can thus only command them verbally.

Weaknesses: The yellow markings on Hachi's skin often contrast her environment, causing her to be easily seen by both allies as well as enemies, making tracking her among her clones extremely easy. This weakness is extremely easy to abuse, as quickly taking her out means she's not able to command her clones.

The clones rely on their sheer numbers to overwhelm any enemy in combat, and are entirely helpless on their own. As such, Hachi must always have several clones already present when engaging in a fight, or risk getting defeated before she can group up.

As Hachi is birthing an entirely separate being in the span of seconds, creating multiple easily tires her out. Although her body efficiently manages energy to minimize this downside, she can't conjure more than 4 clones before becoming noticeably exhausted.
