Demonic Hair

Quirk

Quirk Name:Demonic hair

Quirk Type: mutant

Quirk Overview:The user is born with what can be called sentient "head hair". Their "hair" is actually a creature composed of a thin nervous system and muscles that looks and feels like hair as well a gel-like brain not visible to the naked eye. The creature’s body regrows at a steady rate, but it's much faster than normal as it takes about four hours for the creature to repair any significant damage done to it. The creature doesn’t continuously grow like normal hair. Instead it has a fixed length of 24inches. Similar to a plant, the creature gains the substance it needs from sunlight and thus does photosynthesis. The hair creature has the intelligence of a border collie and it has a pretty relaxed temperament. However, if it senses a threat to it or its user, it will become extremely hostile and protective of its user. While it typically obeys its user, the hair creature does have its own will and can disobey its user when it's in a bad mood. The creature does not need substance to survive nor can it talk. At will, the hair creature can transform into an arm-like with a claw instead of a hand.  The transformation allows it to do pretty much everything a human hand can do, from grabbing objects to throwing objects and it also increases the user’s hair length by seven feet. The creature is strong enough to lift up to 400lbs and has the strength equivalent to that of a professional wrestler. It “sees” its environment through  sensitive receptors that cover its body, which detect temperature, touch and air movement extremely well. It's thanks to these receptors that the creature is always acutely aware of its environment and can react quite quickly to any change.

Quirk Limits/Drawbacks:Stress also heavily impacts both the user and creature and it's the reason why they cannot endure long fights. You see, the creature’s transformation not only adds a bit more weight to the user, but also puts a lot of stress on their body. As the fight goes on, the creature will slowly turn white while the stress accumulates more and more. Eventually both the creature and the user will become very fatigued and the creature will be forced to transform back into its normal form. This limit of theirs is signified by the user’s hair turning white and both the user and their hair struggle with moving.  It normally takes ten minutes of quirk usage in order to achieve this effect and twenty minutes for both the user and their hair to fully recover. Due to this issue, the user must know when to have their hair revert to its normal form.

Quirk Strengths:With their hair being essentially a third arm, the user becomes very capable of handling multiple tasks at once provided that their hair wants to work with them.  With their hair being so strong, the user can easily use it to scale buildings, carry heavy objects and crush large amounts of debris.  The user’s hair can easily protect them from sneak attacks and attacks the user couldn't react to. Possessing no mouth, organs and a gel-like brain; the creature is unaffected by gases, illusions, poisons that otherwise harm a normal human. Its biggest strength is its terrifying power, being able to launch powerful punches with great precision.

Quirk Weaknesses:It's absolutely mandatory that the user keeps their hair healthy as it directly affects the creature’s health. The messier and dirtier the hair becomes, the sicker the creature becomes until eventually it is no longer able to fight. This normally happens when the user hasn't cleaned their hair in three days. The hair can still be burned, cut, ect like normal hair. In fact, the creature is very weak to cold environments and is significantly weaker whilst in an environment with temperature of 30 degrees or below. The hair creature also becomes sluggish at night due to the lack of sunlight.

Future Development:Hair strength is increased to 1000lbs by the end of Grace’s  years in UA and the hair creature can use its transformation for 30minutes.
