List of Alters I Considered Including in the Story, But I'm Not Sure If It's Relevant
1: Alter Name: "Shadowbind" (Inspired by Shadows)
Description:
This Alter allows the user to manipulate the shadows around them, making them tangible for attacking, defending, or trapping their opponents.
Main Abilities:
The user can control shadows like tentacles to grab, strike, or choke their enemies. They can blend into shadows to move quickly or become invisible in dark places. By absorbing shadows, they can temporarily enhance their body, becoming faster and more resilient.
Limits:
The Alter is much less effective in bright light, making the user vulnerable in daylight. The more shadows they use, the more their clarity of mind decreases, pushing them toward a more beast-like state. The shadows used cannot travel too far from the user, limiting their range.
Physical Appearance:
Their body seems surrounded by a dark veil, and their eyes glow with a violet or black hue. During intense use, nightmarish shapes emerge from the shadows around them.
2: Alter Name: "Wendigo's Shadow"
Description:
This Alter allows the user to manipulate a "cursed shadow" in the shape of a Wendigo, which acts as an extension of their body. This shadow can attack, defend, or trap opponents in a dark net.
Main Abilities:
The shadow can move independently from the user, attacking multiple opponents at once. The user can blend into the shadow to avoid attacks or move silently. The shadow can instill fear in opponents, lowering their morale and focus.
Limits:
The shadow becomes unstable if used for too long or under intense stress. If the user is distracted, they lose control over the shadow, which can turn hostile, even toward allies.
Physical Appearance:
The user is surrounded by a black shadow in the form of a Wendigo, with antlers and glowing red eyes floating around them.
3: Name of the Alter: "Spirit of the Wolf"
Description:
This alter allows the user to form a spiritual connection with the spirit of the wolf, a symbol of hunting, wisdom, and the pack. The user can summon the spirit of the wolf to gain information, protection, or enhanced combat abilities.
Main Abilities:
Connection to the Spirit of the Wolf: The user can access the knowledge and instincts of the wolf, enhancing their combat skills, tactical awareness, and understanding of their enemies' intentions. Summon Spirit Wolves: The user can summon spirit wolves to assist in various situations, whether for combat or espionage missions.
Pack Spirit: If the user is surrounded by allies, they can enhance their physical and mental abilities by invoking the spirit of the pack, granting their group collective strength.
Limits:
The spiritual connection with the spirit of the wolf requires significant concentration and fatigues the user as they maintain the connection. The number and duration of the summoned spirit wolves are limited, and their power depends on the spiritual environment around the user. The wolf spirit can sometimes become too dominant, influencing the user to become more wild or aggressive.
Physical Appearance:
The user is surrounded by a glowing spiritual aura representing the spirit of the wolf. When the alter is activated, ethereal wolves may appear around the user, with glowing eyes and ghostly forms, giving off a sense of mystical and powerful presence.
4: Alter name: "Bison's Strength"
Description:
Inspired by the bison, a symbol of strength and endurance in the legends of the Plains peoples, this alter grants incredible physical power, extraordinary resilience, and the ability to withstand the elements.
Main abilities:
Bison's brute strength: The user possesses colossal physical strength, allowing them to lift enormous weights, damage structures, or crush enemies under their weight.
Endless endurance: Thanks to the blessing of the bison spirits, the user can keep fighting without tiring, resisting the effects of exhaustion.
Resilience to the elements: The user is resistant to many types of environmental attacks, including extreme cold, heat, and severe physical injuries.
Limits:
While very powerful, the user becomes slow and less agile when using their full strength. Endless endurance comes with a cost: if the user pushes their body too hard, they may collapse once the effect of the alter dissipates. The alter can also affect the user's mind, sometimes making them stubborn and inflexible, like a bison.
5: Alter name: "Hibernate Rage (Bear)"
Description:
The user accumulates power in proportion to the damage they take. Each blow received strengthens their physical strength, resistance, and sometimes their regeneration. Their appearance becomes increasingly intimidating as they absorb damage, with their muscles swelling and their movements gaining in brutality.
Effects:
Increases physical strength, allowing the user to break through walls or lift massive objects. Enhances resistance, making the skin or muscles denser, akin to armor. May trigger minor regeneration of superficial wounds. The user becomes more imposing and bestial as the fight progresses.
Limits:
The alter activates only in response to damage. No injuries, no power gain. Prolonged rage can exhaust the user once the effect fades, leaving them vulnerable. The alter may slightly impair the user's judgment while enraged, making their actions more instinctive than calculated.
Applications:
Ideal for prolonged battles where the user can take damage and retaliate. Effective for sowing panic in opponents who grow weaker as the user grows stronger.
6: Alter name: "Titan Grip (Gorilla)"
Description:
This version of Titan Grip not only increases the user's arm strength but also grants them complete mastery over their physical strength, elevating them to an apocalyptic level of destruction. Their arms can support unimaginable loads, allowing them to break through extremely tough materials or manipulate titanic objects with deadly precision. Mastery over their arms extends to full control over the space around them, enabling them to dominate an entire area.
Effects:
Titanic Strength: The user's arms can lift, break, or pulverize extremely resilient structures (concrete walls, metal, etc.) effortlessly.
Armored Mastery: Their hands can crush dense materials or strike with lethal precision, capable of breaking bones and armor in a single blow.
Area Domination: The user can use their arms to create waves of destruction over a wide area (toppling trees, creating fissures in the ground, or sweeping multiple enemies in one motion).
Colossus Leap: By using the power in their arms and legs, the user can make colossal leaps that span large distances or create earthquakes in their wake.
Relentless Grip: The user can grasp enemies or massive objects with irresistible strength, inflicting crushing damage or instantly immobilizing them.
Limits:
Joint Strain: Overuse of this strength can put excessive pressure on the user's joints, leading to pain or injury after prolonged use.
High Energy Consumption: This titanic power drains the user's energy reserves quickly, requiring extended recovery periods.
Limited Speed: Due to the mass and strength, the user's movements become slower and more predictable, making this power less effective against fast or agile enemies.
Applications:
Structure Demolition: Perfect for destroying buildings, fortifications, or massive obstacles.
Close-Combat: Extremely effective against smaller or weaker opponents, disarming or crushing them with powerful blows.
Terrain Strategy: Can be used to manipulate the environment to the user's advantage, controlling an area and forcing enemies into disadvantageous positions.
7: Alter name: "Mighty Grizzly" Description: The user gains the strength and resilience of a bear. This ability significantly increases the user's muscle mass, granting them raw power. Their punches become much stronger, and their resistance to injury is greatly enhanced.
Combat Use: The user can perform devastating physical attacks, with punches capable of breaking through walls or obstacles. They can also absorb violent attacks without being seriously harmed.
Limits: The alter comes with a high energy cost, limiting how long it can be used before the user becomes fatigued. Speed and agility are reduced due to the increased muscle mass.
8: Alter name: "Venomous Touch"
Description:
The user can inject poison through direct contact with their skin or claws, much like a serpent. The poisons can have different effects: paralysis, intense pain, slowing, or even a lethal effect if the target is exposed for too long.
Combat Use:
The user can choose between a lethal poison to quickly eliminate enemies or less potent poisons to neutralize or weaken an opponent without killing them. They can also use antidotes to counteract their own power.
Limits:
The user must be knowledgeable about the poisons they use. The poisons are produced naturally by the user's body and are limited by their level of control. If the alter is poorly controlled, the user risks being affected by the poison themselves.
9:Alter name: "Lurker" (Underground Predator)
Description:
The user can blend into the earth, camouflaging themselves like an underground predator. They can create pits or tunnels in which to hide, wait, and launch surprise attacks.
Combat Use:
The user can move underground to surprise enemies. They can burst from the ground at high speed to grab their opponents by surprise or hide underground to avoid attacks. They can also set deadly traps by using the earth to create ambushes.
Limits:
The alter is limited to specific terrains like clay or sandy ground. It requires some time to blend into the earth, leaving the user vulnerable if interrupted.
10: Alter name: "Hydra"
Description:
The user's body can regenerate limbs or parts of their body that have been damaged or severed, similar to the mythological hydra. Each time a part of their body is destroyed, it can regrow, often in a stronger form.
Combat Use:
The user can regenerate from severe injuries, and in some cases, multiple limbs or heads can regrow if severed. This allows them to fight without fear of injury. At an advanced stage, multiple heads can appear for simultaneous attacks.
Limits:
Regeneration is limited in speed, and each regrowth progressively weakens the user, making them vulnerable after a certain number of regenerations. Severe injuries can lead to loss of control over the regeneration process.
11: Alter Name: Vampire (ヴァンパイア, Vanpaia)
User: To be defined (could be a villain or an ambiguous hero, depending on context).
Description of the Alter:
This alter grants its user abilities similar to those of legendary vampires, with a genetic and biological aspect unique to the world of My Hero Academia. The user can bite someone to transmit a "vampiric virus," turning the person into a vampire while retaining their original alter. The abilities of the transformed vampires include:
Physical enhancement: Increased strength, speed, regeneration, and heightened senses.
Conditional immortality: Newly created vampires stop aging but must consume blood to maintain their state.
Alter retention: The "vampiric virus" adapts to the bitten person's alter, allowing them to continue using it, though often with vampiric mutations. For example: A fire-based alter user could produce blood-red flames. A strength-based alter user might have their power increased based on the amount of blood consumed.
Limitations and Weaknesses:
Limited control: The created vampires can retain their free will unless the user has mastered their alter enough to manipulate them directly via a temporary mental link. However, this consumes a lot of energy.
Sunlight: Vampires are vulnerable to sunlight, which weakens their abilities and may even immobilize them temporarily.
Blood: The created vampires must regularly consume human or animal blood to stay alive. If they run out of blood, their bodies slowly begin to decay.
Controlled propagation: The user can decide whether a bite turns someone into a vampire or not. This control is mental and requires conscious effort.
Alter Evolution (Awakened Version):
If the user manages to awaken their alter, they could:
Create a vampiric army that can be controlled mentally. Merge with or absorb the abilities of the vampires they've created, becoming even more powerful. Enhance the alters of the transformed vampires, making their mutations even stronger.
12: Alter Name: Shark-Man (サメ人間, Same Ningen)
User: To be defined (hero, villain, or anti-hero depending on your story).

The transformation makes the user massive and imposing (approximately 2.5 meters tall, with a muscular and stocky body), limiting their stealth and ability to move quietly.Confined spaces or infiltration missions are not suited to their large physique.
Instinctive Rage:
In stressful situations or when sensing blood, the user may enter an uncontrollable frenzy, attacking indiscriminately, including allies.
Appearance of the Transformed User:
A massive shark-like head with a mouth full of sharp teeth. A heavily muscled body, with clawed hands and feet, and a shark's tail. Skin that is gray or bluish in color, with a rough texture similar to that of sharks.
Evolution of the Alter (Awakened Version):
With the awakening, Shark-Man could:
Become Fully Amphibious: No longer suffer from dehydration, and be just as fast on land as in the water. This would allow the user to maintain peak performance regardless of their environment, making them a more versatile and dangerous opponent.
Control Water: The ability to generate or manipulate water currents to attack or defend. Whether creating violent waves to sweep away enemies or forming water barriers for protection, the user can wield the environment itself as a weapon.
Partial Transformation: The ability to transform specific parts of their body (such as their jaw or tail) without fully changing appearance. This could allow the user to gain the advantages of their shark abilities in a more controlled and tactical manner, giving them added flexibility in combat situations.

25:"Beast Domination"
Description:
This alter allows its user to bind their mind with animal or mutant creatures, granting them the ability to control their movements and share their senses. The user can also tap into their strength to enhance their own abilities.
Abilities:
Beast's Call: The user can summon animals or mutant creatures they have previously dominated. These creatures act as extensions of the alter, serving as guards or attackers.
Sensory Sharing: The user can share the senses of their creatures, allowing them to perceive hidden areas, track targets by scent, or hear sounds that would otherwise be impossible to detect.
Strength Transfer: The user can draw from the strength of a controlled creature to temporarily increase their own strength, speed, or resilience.

26: "Heart of the Shaman" (The user becomes stronger based on their spiritual bond with animals)
Description:
This alter allows the user to commune with animal creatures and extract their spiritual essence. The deeper the bond with an animal, the more power the user gains, leading to supernatural abilities based on the animal's spirit.
Abilities:
Wild Empathy: The user can feel the emotions and sensations of the animals they encounter, establishing a deep understanding and mystical connection with them. This ability allows them to detect the intentions of animals and predict their actions.
Totemic Transformation: The user can partially transform into an animal with which they have formed a deep bond. This transformation starts off partial, but as the bond strengthens, the user can take a more powerful hybrid form, resembling a shaman or druid.
Totemic Fusion: When the user forms a deep bond with a specific animal, they can spiritually merge with it, gaining its superhuman abilities on a near-permanent basis (for example, the wisdom of an owl, the speed of a cheetah, or the resilience of an elephant).
Weaknesses: Spiritual fusion is energy-draining and requires a resting period to regenerate. The bond with animals can be disrupted by mental manipulation powers or illusions.
27: Mutant Genome
Type: Mutation/Animal
Description: This quirk allows the user to merge their DNA with that of animals or mutated creatures, creating a hybrid version of their own physical and sensory traits. Integrating the DNA of distant or mystical creatures broadens their capabilities, while temporarily increasing their power. However, these modifications may come at the cost of physical and mental stability.
Abilities:
Evolutionary Adaptation : The user can temporarily merge with the DNA of specific animals, allowing them to mimic their abilities. For example, they could gain the night vision of an owl, the regeneration of a lizard, or the claws of a lion. The effectiveness of these abilities increases with time and the user's experience with each creature.
Primal Surge: The user can force their body to "tap into" the DNA of a powerful animal, greatly enhancing their strength, speed, and endurance beyond human limits. This can also grant animal-specific abilities like enhanced olfactory senses or the speed of a cheetah.
Ambidextrous Mutation: By absorbing DNA from creatures like octopuses or insects, the user can temporarily gain extra limbs (arms, claws) or physical adaptations like superhuman agility or rapid regeneration.
Weaknesses:
Instability from Mutation: Merging with the DNA of powerful or unfamiliar creatures may cause unexpected reactions, such as intense pain or permanent mutations (e.g., scaly skin, permanent claws).
Adaptation Limits: The quirk cannot last indefinitely. The more the user relies on their power, the higher the risk of becoming mentally or physically unstable. The human body is not built to support constant genetic changes.
28:Mutagenic Burst
Type: Mutation/Animal
Description: The user can create and manipulate mutagens—substances that modify the DNA of living creatures either temporarily or permanently. This quirk allows the user to transform other creatures into more powerful versions or fuse them with animal or mutant traits.
Abilities:
Mass Mutation : The user can inject or disperse mutagens into the environment, transforming living creatures into stronger, more aggressive, or more resilient versions. For example, they could inject a mutagen into a group of animals, making them faster, or into plants, turning them into living traps.
Immediate Adaptation : The user can inject a mutagen into their own body to instantly adapt to extreme environments or enhance their combat abilities. For example, in dangerous situations, they might temporarily gain invisibility like a chameleon or become more resistant to attacks.
Innate Resilience: Thanks to the effects of the mutagens, the user can improve their cellular regeneration, healing rapidly from severe injuries.
Weaknesses:
Energy Drain from Creation: Creating and injecting mutagens requires a significant amount of energy and concentration, leaving the user physically drained.
Side Effects of Mutations: The mutations can lead to undesirable side effects, and the user risks creating uncontrollable monsters if the mutagens are not carefully controlled.
29:Chrysalis Armor
Type: Mutation/Transformation
Description: This quirk allows the user to form an organic, living exoskeleton around their body, which is capable of adapting to different threats. The armor grows from the user's own body, offering both protection and increased physical strength. Over time, the armor can regenerate and evolve to respond to different combat situations.
Abilities:
Chrysalis Formation: The user can generate a tough yet flexible exoskeleton that covers their body, increasing their strength and defense. The exoskeleton can be formed over limbs, the torso, or the entire body, depending on the level of power used.
Adaptive Armor: The armor can adapt to the user's needs, forming specific protections like reinforced arms for combat or extra plating to protect against physical or elemental attacks. This adaptability makes it effective against various kinds of threats.
Living Regeneration: The armor can regenerate over time by absorbing environmental energy or by using the user's vitality. This regeneration allows it to repair itself when damaged.
Weaknesses:
Energy Consumption: The armor requires a constant flow of the user's life force or energy to maintain its form, causing the user to tire quickly after prolonged use.
Physical Strain: The more the armor is damaged or the longer it is used, the more physical strain it places on the user. If the armor is severely damaged, the user can feel pain as though their body is injured.
Single-Form Limitation: The armor can only take one form at a time, which can make it difficult for the user to adapt quickly to varying threats. Switching between forms requires time and energy.
