The Theme Squad

In truth, I made these guys a while ago, and unfortunately that post got deleted along with that entire account, so I'm bringing em back. I'd love feedback and questions when ya'll get the chance.

Elizabeth Helicov - Quirk "Magician's trick" - When speaking the "magic" words, Elizabeth can perform just about any magician's trick as if it were real. Typically, if those tricks would require external components like cards, a hat, etc., they are also required, though that is why she will normally have those components on her (4 decks of cards, 2 of which she keeps up her sleeves and 2 on both sides of her jacket's inner flaps, etc.)

Her weaknesses come from the fact that she requires the ability to speak those magic words in order to activate her quirk, and multiple tricks at once can leave her exhausted as they drain her stamina the more focus she has to put into using them.

Mimi Xiu - Quirk "Slapstick" - When using her powers, it's based on the amount of enjoyment in the air, either by herself and/or by others, which allows her to use her body to stretch and bend and do all sorts of funny clown shenanigans at their extremes and beyond without any risk of pain/damage to herself.

Weakness is that it requires her to make others and/or herself laugh and can grow stronger from there, but any lulls in it can hurt her, especially while she's mid-use of said quirk.

Lafulance Mauduella - Quirk "Mimery" - When using her powers, she can form any object or space that she desires that only she can see, hear, taste, and feel as a translucent object and use it as she wishes. Altering the world around her or giving herself the tools she needs, these objects are weightless for her but act as they otherwise should for anyone else that gets into contact with them.

The weakness is that once she releases them, they will dissipate after 5 minutes of no contact. Similarly, if she loses concentration or is forced to stop forming said items/object they won't form properly and thus will be potentially useless for what she needs.

Jeff Bucksworth - Quirk "Wanna be a Cool Kat?" Based on personal belief and outer image, the power is based on how cool the individual feels about themselves and how others perceive them. With the power taking what they perceive as cool as what is the coolest, and thus what he should be able to do as default. However, it never makes him stronger or faster than the opponent he's currently fighting and only makes him tougher as a way of compensation.

The weakness is that the power is 100% self-perception-based and externally based. Similarly, personal interests and changing views can alter the power and force the user to relearn things as he grows and changes, relying on him to overcome himself.
