Meta Liberation Army∥MHA

[Re-Destro/Rikya Yotsubashi: Appearance- Rikiya is a tall, odd-looking, middle-aged man with a prominently long, pointed nose and obtruding chin, as well as small, dark eyes. He has short, orange-brownish hair, set noticeably far up his forehead, a widow’s peak pointing downwards in the center, and he wears it swept back around his head. He doesn’t have any visible eyebrows, and also possesses two dark moles on the left of his forehead. This stems from a result of his Quirk that causes his hair to recede. Sometimes, when he feels upset, a dark fire-like stain spreads around his eyes, becoming a large facial stain that resembles a domino mask. Despite appearing relatively slim, he is shown to have quite a muscular mantle and figure. In his childhood, he wore a suit similar to the one he will have as an adult. As a young adult, he had a similar appearance but wore his hair differently, leaving it down with one lock over his face. During that time, he possessed thin eyebrows. He is always seen in a suit that consists of a green dress shirt, a green tie, and a black, pinstriped blazer with matching dress pants. He has also been seen wearing a black hat, and black coat on his shoulders, while on his way to a meeting with the rest of the Liberation Army leadership. Personality- At first, Rikiya seems like a completely normal and balanced person. He generally acts as an easygoing individual who has no problem with people making fun of him, even his employees, and genuinely believes in making a better world for people with difficult Quirks. However, this public persona is merely a façade, for he is a devout follower of his ancestor's ideals and believes that Quirks should be celebrated rather than suppressed and controlled. Rikiya does not hesitate to kill and torture people to achieve his goals, and he does not tolerate the insult or lack of respect for either Destro or the Meta Liberation Army. When his secretary Miyashita defined Destro's book as pretentious and the Liberation Army as terrorists, he snaps his neck and kills him on the spot. However, he does seem to show some remorse by shedding genuine sad tears about the act. He also values his colleagues and was saddened by Curious' death at the hands of Himiko Toga, even crying about it. Due to his dissatisfaction with the current hero society, he's prone to pointing out its flaws and shortcomings, normally using villains as examples. He believes that, despite the various Quirks that exist, people still need to fit into a very specific mold to be accepted by society, and are otherwise callously cast out. He holds the belief that villainy is an escape many, such as outcasts turn to because they have little other options. He uses this to further endorse his agenda, claiming that in a society with completely liberated Quirks, no one would have to feel alone or estranged.He is quite condescending, as he initially views Tomura as nothing more than a hoodlum and his ragtag organization as a group seeking nothing more to destroy with no real ambition. He also mocked Tomura on not having a proper education when speaking to him about his own goals. Likely due to the effects of his Meta Ability, Rikiya seems to be a rather emotionally unstable person who is prone to sudden and drastic mood swings. This is best evidenced when his calm, cheerful demeanor is shattered and filled with enormous stress in a matter of seconds when alerted of a hero army raiding his hideout. Abilities-Overall Abilities: Being the leader of the Meta Liberation Army, Rikiya is a highly respected and powerful individual, with a very proficient handle on his Meta Ability. When facing the formidable villain Twice backed by clones of the League of Villains whom the latter created using his Quirk, Double, Rikiya stood in place and nonchalantly defeated most of Twice's clones almost instantly. In his Stress form, Rikiya was easily able to overpower Tomura, the leader of the League, as well as destroy most of the latter's left hand. Even when Tomura was undergoing an awakening and an increase in physical aptitude, Rikiya was still able to best Tomura; by taking his Meta ability to a higher output, Rikiya sent Tomura flying across Deika City. This happened once more during his fight against Edgeshot. Enhanced Durability: Re-Destro possesses unique durability and endurance as he was able to survive the fall caused by Tomura destroying his tower and emerged from it unharmed. Even without his Meta Ability active, Re-Destro is fast, agile and reactionary enough to dodge multiple assaults from many of the remaining clones with catlike finesse. Corporate CEO: Rikiya is the Chief Executive Officer of the Detnerat Company, an industry that specializes in making clothing and other items for people with "abnormal" bodies. Tactical Intellect: Rikiya set up a situation that forced the League of Villains into a war with the Meta Liberation Army. He was able to consider multiple details and made the correct assumption that the League of Villains didn't have any Nomu at their disposal. After destroying much of Tomura's left hand and experiencing Decay still active without all 5 of Tomura's fingers making contact, Rikiya correctly deduced that Tomura was undergoing an awakening, allowing his Quirk to evolve under specific circumstances. Rikiya even took notice of Tomura's increased speed and noted that if Tomura had his newly increased physical parameters during the Kamino Incident, Tomura would've easily killed at least one or two of the Pro Heroes during that event, even without his Decay Quirk. Stress Rikiya's Meta Ability allows him to store up any fear, anger and/or frustration he feels and convert it into raw power. When Re-Destro accesses this Meta Ability, his size and strength increase significantly, being able to selectively enlarge one limb or turn his entire body into a hulking mass. He can also unleash his stress in the form of energy attacks. Due to him having to contain his stress in order to fully use his Meta Ability in combat, it has the side effect of him developing early male pattern baldness. Enhanced Strength: Thanks to the use of his Meta Ability, Rikiya gains increased strength. A lone finger was enough to destroy a Double of Twice and his hulking arm annihilated several League of Villains clones with a simple swing of his arm, the force of which generating a shockwave as a result. Rikiya was even able to effortlessly destroy the majority of Tomura's left hand with two of his enlarged fingers. Enhanced Speed: By activating his Meta Ability only on a single finger, Rikiya was able to attack fast enough to completely destroy a clone of Twice before he could react. When he enlarged his entire arm he was able to unleash an attack fast enough to destroy multiple clones of Twice and other members of the League of Villains, with the exception of Tomura Shigaraki.] [Curious /Chitose Kizuki: Appearance-Chitose is a woman with long, pale lilac hair, worn parted to her right side, full lips and pale blue skin. Her eyes were unusual, in that her sclerae were completely black whereas her irises are green, and her pupils are completely black. And She is framed by notably long eyelashes, wrinkles, and small eyebrows. She wears gold earrings, a navy blue, shoulderless dress with long sleeves and an X-shaped belt with a circular buckle around her waist. For the Revival Party, Chitose also donned an unbuttoned, salmon-colored jacket with black fur around the collar and hem. She sported light colored laced high boots. As described by her Liberation Army code name, Chitose was an immensely curious woman who is highly invested in her journalistic pursuits. Due to taking Rikiya Yotsubashi's advice to heart, she believed that stories based on face-to-face interviews were the best way to influence readers, treating even battles as an opportunity to ask questions about one's personality and motivations. As a publisher executive director, Chitose claimed to have never given up on getting a good story ever since her early days in the journalism industry, fondly looking back on them occasionally. Personality-Chitose had been inspired to claim the hearts of the people with her stories, all for the sake of the Meta Liberation Army. Despite this, she was very callous about the lives of her soldiers, utilizing her Quirk to turn them into walking bombs as a battle strategy and describing it as a selfless act from their part. Despite being uninterested in the League of Villains, Chitose greatly desired to learn about Himiko Toga, having shown an obsessive interest in the circumstances behind her descent into madness. Chitose knew many details about Himiko's life prior to becoming a criminal and had wished to create an article that brought her background as a villain to light after extensively researching her. Likewise, her callous nature also extended to her stories and who they were about. Chitose was willing to murder Himiko in cold blood and publish her backstory as a tragic tale where being forced to repress her Quirk led to her madness and villainy, believing it to be the perfect message for the Meta Liberation Army's cause, despite Himiko's vehement desire not to be pitied upon. Due to her immense curiosity and overzealous/obsessive nature, Chitose's mentality even caused her to outright lose her sense of danger, as seen when despite being in the battlefield against Himiko Toga and nearly being stabbed and cut by her knife attacks, Chitose was not at all alarmed or even afraid for her life and simply continued to excitedly interview Himiko. History-At some point she met Rikiya and joined the Meta Liberation Army. During a meeting with him, he read an article that she wrote and told him that writing articles based on rumors would not interest readers, advising her to interview her subjects, as an article to guide public opinion must contain human heart. Chitose is present alongside the other leaders of the Meta Liberation Army during a meeting where Re-Destro declares their intention to destroy the League of Villains. During the meeting, she brings up how Detnerat had recently entered the Hero Industry. At the start of the Revival Celebration, Chitose confronts Himiko, recognizing her for the string of bloodletting murders she's connected to. Chitose suggests a headline about the high schooler's fall into madness, but Himiko angrily rejects it. Chitose proceeds to battle Himiko, attacking her in-mass with her comrades in order to corner her, all the while "interviewing" her on her reasons for becoming a villain and she proceeded on shedding light on Himiko's past prior to joining the League and expressing extreme interest and curiosity regarding her reasons for abandoning her normal life, where and how she obtained her survival and combat skills and the reasons for Himiko's descent into madness, even going as far as using her own subordinates as human bombs in order to further corner Himiko and prevent her from transforming by detonating their ingested blood inside her body in order for their "interview" to go unhindered. As Himiko attempts to escape, Chitose continues to goad her, promising to go public with the tragic story of Himiko's downfall in order to demonstrate the righteousness of the Army's objective. When Himiko transforms into Ochaco Uraraka, Chitose dismisses it as her final attempt to "look cute" before her death but is caught off guard when Himiko activates Zero Gravity to levitate her into the air alongside her soldiers. Bewildered, Chitose assumes that Himiko's fear of death has allowed her Quirk to spontaneously evolve in power. Overall Abilities: Chitose was a capable fighter and an excellent team leader in battle. She preferred to have her followers do most of the fighting for her in order to draw her opponents into traps laid down by her Quirk. To compensate for her close range weakness, she wielded a transformable chainring manufactured by Detnerat. Immense Resources: Due to her position, Chitose was shown to possess access to many sources of intellect which allowed her to easily gather information without arousing suspicion from the government, this being shown when she managed to gather detailed information about Himiko's background, family, friends and personal history without difficulty, even managing to interview her former associates. Chitose has also stated that she researched the background information of each League member prior to their confrontation with them.Meta Ability Landmine Chitose's Meta Ability allowed her to bestow explosive properties on anything she touched, be it an object or a living being. A single landmine was not strong enough to be lethal, but she was capable of creating numerous landmines to make up for this weakness.] [Trumpet/Koku: Appearance-Koku is a man with reasonably long, black hair that he wears swept back, a single strand left hanging down over his face, thin eyebrows, and a small mustache. He has an angular nose and small, feminine eyes with dark blue irises. He has yellow glasses with purple-tinted lenses.He wears a plain business suit, consisting of a white dress shirt, a black tie and a black blazer. Personality-Koku portrays himself as a calm and level headed man, as he was not fazed by Curious' death, and instead displayed his intelligence and skills in manipulation by instead taking advantage of her death and along with using his Quirk to further motivate and strengthen his comrades instead, showing his skills as a worthy leader and military commander. He's also shown to be arrogant as seen when Spinner compared himself to the Meta Liberation Army and stated how they were the same, earning his malice by insinuating that Spinner was his equal. Like the other MLA commanders, Koku is very loyal and dedicated to Re-Destro and the Liberation Army's cause, as seen when Gigantomachia appeared in Deika City, he immediately redirected his warriors towards the grand commander's location, hoping to aid him. Abilities-Political Authority: Being a politician, Koku had some level of influence within the Japanese government and society in general. Since he's the leader of his own political party, he had full authority over it as well. However, the Hearts and Mind party was dissolved. Charisma: Koku has been noted to possess an incredible level of charisma. He was able to raise the spirits of the Meta Liberation Army members and convince them to continue fighting, even after negative events, such as the death of Curious and the appearance of thousands of Twice clones. Meta Ability-Incite Koku's Meta Ability lines his voice with an electromagnetic pulse. If someone who considers Koku a worthy leader hears his voice, then their physical and mental state will be significantly enhanced. The louder Koku's voice is, the more effective his Meta Ability becomes. Using this power to strengthen someone takes a toll on the recipient's body.] [Skeptic/ Tomoyasu:Appearance-Tomoyasu is a tall and lanky man with shiny black hair that reaches his waist, worn down with a neat fringe hanging over his eyes which are shown to be wide with small gray irises. He has a visibly long nose and a wide mouth with notably straight teeth. He wears a long-sleeved black turtleneck shirt with a black formal jacket on top of that and dark pants.During the Final War, Tomoyasu wears a set of black pants, a formal jacket with white stripes, and a light-colored turtleneck underneath it. Personality-Tomoyasu is a steadfast believer in the ideology of the Meta Liberation Army: that human beings have a right to use their Quirks whenever and however they want. He treats people who "cling to the teachings of the past generations" as unnecessary in the new world where everyone is liberated to use their Meta Abilities as their own, without Heroes or Villains. He is very loyal to the army's Grand Commander, Re-Destro. In the company of others, aside from his commander, Tomoyasu generally acts in a stern and condescending manner. He becomes extremely irritated when people can't figure things out immediately from minimal details and without an explanation. He doesn't seem to realize that this is an unreasonable expectation. An example of his attitude is when he chastised Giran for not asking him a full question, asking him if he's like a parrot who repeats what other people say. Despite this, Tomoyasu does display some sense of camaraderie, wanting to kill Himiko Toga for killing his fellow Top Commander, Curious. Despite his disliking for Dabi's "daddy issues", he still informed him of Endeavor's whereabouts, knowing how much he wanted to know where he is. He also doesn't mind aiding other villains in their causes, as long as it furthers his own agenda. When he helped All For One, telling him that so long as he can do what he wants, so will he, spreading the ideology of liberation in the new world that is to come after the Demon Lord reigns. In battle, Tomoyasu is a ruthless and calculating opponent. He is not above resorting to psychological warfare, having sent duplicates of Twice after the real thing, knowing full well that Twice was traumatized by clones of himself. He calmly ordered his puppets to break Twice's arms to stop him from resisting further and reacted to Himiko's reawakening with only the minor irritation that he would have to adjust his puppets' strength in order to kill her. He appears to view his puppets as little more than fodder, even using them as chairs and to hold up his laptop while he commands the rest from a secure vantage point. He is very condescending towards his enemies, for example when he belittled the other board members of the Feel Good Inc. after they didn't prepare enough precautions to prevent him from hacking into their systems, as they knew he built them from scratch.He later shows a more maniacal side to his personality when faced with the possibility of failure, which he seems to fear greatly. His eyes pop out and develop crazed swirls and he becomes unhinged and unstable, mumbling and muttering obsessively to himself that he didn't fail. As seen when he initially failed to capture Twice and kill Himiko, he immediately became obsessed with not failing and denying that he did, assuring himself and his superior that everything was within his prediction, and later acted recklessly by entering into the front lines of combat himself in order not to fail, despite knowing that he was completely abandoning the strategic advantage afforded to him by his Quirk to be able to combat someone in a safe location. Abilities-Company Board Member: As a former member of Feel Good, Inc's board of directors, Tomoyasu held considerable influence over its operations, as seen when he was able to use his company's influence to completely hide and remove any trace of the League of Villains and the Meta Liberation Army's involvement in the destruction in Deika City. He also managed to create believable stories to hide the true cause of Curious' death and Re-Destro's injuries, and prevent the authorities and Heroes from suspecting a thing. This was made redundant after his involvement with the Villains was made public, but nevertheless managed to regain the influence over the company against their will. Audio-Video Editing: Tomoyasu is highly skilled in video editing. In the short amount of time it took to reach the battlefield where Tomura was fighting the Heroes from the Paranormal Liberation Front base while riding on Gigantomachia's back, he was able to perfectly cut together an incriminating video of Hawks killing Twice while adding it to Dabi's video explaining the latter's origins. Hacking Skill: Tomoyasu managed to not only build the entire network of his former company, but also he regained his authority and access to all their devices after they sacked him. He also managed to break into the U.A. systems, with multiple errors appearing before the staff and one of the bunkers moving against their will.[3] In the end, he took over both the U.A. flying fortress and the evacuation shafts, making the already worn-down U.A. start to plummet into the ground.[4] However, his skills are surpassed by those of La Brava's, as she has broken into his servers twice. Tactical Skill: Tomoyasu was able to think of valuable ways to use Twice's Quirk, Double. An example is the ability to create clones of the Supreme Commander as a way to ensure he could continue to lead the Army, even if something happened to him. He also exploited Twice's past psychological trauma to reduce the latter's resistance by deploying puppets in Twice's likeness to retrieve him for the Army. Meta Ability-Anthropomorph Tomoyasu's Meta Ability allows him to take a human-sized object, such as a desk or refrigerator, and turn it into an extremely lifelike lookalike of any given person which he can control like a puppet. He can use several puppets at a time, and also has the ability to make more than one of the same person at a time. Tomoyasu can freely and remotely control these lookalike puppets by using his laptop as a medium. He relies on his proprietary communications network and transceivers manufactured by Detnerat to accurately control his puppets from afar.] Geten: Appearance-Geten is clad in a thick, light blue parka that reaches down below his knees, done up in the center with seven brown buttons, with a fur-lined hood that covers his face from view. He also sports black baggy pants and a pair of lace-up winter boots. Under his hood, Geten appears to possess messy white hair of varying lengths and silver-grey eyes framed by a set of long eyelashes the same color as his hair. His eyes glow even when the rest of his face is hidden in shadow. Personality-Geten is a loyal warrior of the Liberation Army and a devout believer in its principles. He feels greatly indebted and thankful to Re-Destro for granting him more power and desires to create a world where the strongest superpowers stand at the top of the hierarchy. Geten has been shown to become greatly angered whenever anyone gets in Re-Destro's way, yelling out to the "dogs of the state" who face him in the Gunga Mountain Villa raid that they won't die painless deaths for interrupting his leader's plans. The ice villain is proud of his Meta Ability and claims he has honed it for years. He is not focused on becoming a hero and never attended school; instead, he's lived his life by constantly training his abilities, believing that one's greatest worth is the strength of one's power. His dedication to possession of power is so great that when he didn't win against Cementoss and tied instead, he cried, disappointed at himself. Abilities-Geten fighting on even terms with Dabi, one of the strongest members of the League of Villains. Geten fighting on even terms with Dabi, one of the strongest members of the League of Villains. Overall Abilities: Being a top member of the Meta Liberation Army, Geten has proven himself highly formidable. The ice warrior stated that he had spent most of his life honing his Meta Ability, Ice Ply, demonstrating his handling by creating various sophisticated ice constructs as well as using his ice to launch or lift himself through the air to outmaneuver his opponents. He can also infuse his ice into water sources. By lowering the temperatures, Geten's control over his Meta Ability is drastically expanded. His abilities also garnered praise from Re-Destro, who regards Geten as a valuable asset to the Meta Liberation Army. During the Revival Celebration, Geten not only fought on par with Dabi, a dangerously powerful individual, to a stalemate, but obliterated a mass quantity of Twice's clone army, along with some M.L.A. members, and a significant portion of Deika City. Mr. Compress, awestruck by the mass destruction Geten can cause, labeled the cryokinetic as the greatest threat to the League of Villains. At the Gunga Mountain Villa, Geten single-handedly suppressed a large number of Pro Heroes, including Mt. Lady, but he was soon ambushed by Cementoss, compelling Re-Destro to aid the ice wielder, only to be ultimately defeated at the end of the Paranormal Liberation War. Tactical Intellect: Geten is well-versed in tactical warfare and comes to every fight with a solid strategy. When he battled Dabi, Geten knew that the blue flames made Dabi the only wide-range combatant of the League of Villains before inquiring why he didn't activate his Quirk. Despite his inquiry, Geten was fully aware of Dabi undergoing a cooldown period before he had to use his flames again. Geten was also able to exploit Dabi's arrogance expertly and alleged Quirk-type advantage by pretending to be defeated, and then returning to the battlefield, uninjured. Having noticed and smelled Dabi's festering skin, Geten pointed out Dabi can't fight for prolonged periods when using his flames, which eat away at the flame villain's body from overuse. Meta Ability- Ice Ply Geten's Meta Ability allows him to freely manipulate any and all nearby ice. He can freely gather and move the ice he manipulates, as well as attack and/or defend with it. The range of this power extends to roughly the size of a whole town. At one point in the past, Geten underwent an Awakening, granting him the application of altering the temperature of the water molecules he wields, thus allowing him to freeze any water within his radius of control, giving him more ice to manipulate. While this Meta Ability is strong, he can only manipulate ice, not create it. Because of this, Geten is limited by how much water and/or ice is in the vicinity, leaving him at a disadvantage in areas wherein these elements are absent.
