Electric Flames

**Electric Flames** (電気(でんき)炎(えん), *Denki-en*?) is the quirk utilized by Raika Kaminari.

## Description

Electric Flames allows Raika to generate and manipulate both electricity and fire anywhere from their body. Either element can also generate light and heat as a result of using them, and can possess solid properties whenever decided upon by Raika, such as her whip made of electricity that can grab objects and restrain people.

Due to the duality of this quirk, it gives the user two powerful separate methods of combat of which they may use. When the Quirk is activated Raika can shock anyone who touches her or comes in remote area to her, leaving them paralyzed. This can be used similarly with her fire, leaving anyone who touches her burnt to various degrees.

Electric Flames also allows Raika to work as a lightning rod to oncoming sources of electricity such as ones from her opponents, and release back at them stronger by combining it with her own.

### Weaknesses

Similar to Half-Cold Half-Hot, the user need to alternate between using either side to avoid heat stroke from her flames, and becoming ditzy or receiving electrical burns from her electricity. Both of these consequences are rather serious as heat stroke and electrical burns could be possibly fatal. Along with this, when Raika exceeds her wattage she may become ditzy making it harder to concentrate.

Raika's electricity can be easily cut off by insulator of materials such as; rubber, glass, and plastic. Other Quirks may also cut of the current like Ibara Shiozaki's Vines and Kikyo Mokuzai's Wood Roots.

## Usage

Using her electricity, Raika can use it as raw power to release large waves of it to anyone in a close range, and can also do the same when someone touches her using the person's hand as a current. When she is in fright, she can unknowingly use this as a defense mechanism as seen since she was a child.

When she activates electricity it surrounds her body like a current. Raika is swiftly able to shock groups of people, as well as create large waves of electricity instantaneously. Despite its incredible raw power, Raika possesses well control over it and where it travels, even being able to create weapons from it. She can restrains her volts to circumvent life-long paralyzation or fatally electrocuting someone, or use precision attacks to paralyzed only portions of the opponents body. If fighting alongside others, she can shock enemies while simultaneously preventing it from getting to her allies.

Raika is capable of molding electricity and flames into certain shapes to support herself, such as walls, or low electricity stair and ladders to elevate herself. Raika has a few mobility options as well, such as focusing electricity in her legs to run very swiftly and make towering jumps or launch herself to stay and move in the air with her flames.

When used offensively to attack, she can form her electricity and flames into bows & arrows, whips, swords, spears, and various other items. She can also use it to enhance her melee by releasing it within punches and kicks.

When she was little, Raika would use her electricity to help power outages in her area since they were frequent in the summer time, and took a while to fix by the electricians. She would also charge devices for people, trying to be as helpful as she can. When she was around her friends and cousins, she would use to entertain them with various patterns in the sky. Later as a student, Raika uses her electricity to activate and charge electronics, like her hair clip and visor glasses she has in her hero costume, or the batteries of electrical devices. During the U.A. Entrance Exam, Raika uses her electricity to overload the robots causing them to malfunction and break down.

Raika's flames are nearly identical to that of her mother's being scarlet and possessing more power than regular flames. She can ignite them nearly instantaneously to set her body ablaze, and release it in defensive or offensive bursts. At the U.A. Sports Festival, Raika gains more control over it by releasing smaller bursts and long ranged shoots of flames. Along with this, Raika can combust anything she touches will little time, although it is quicker will higher flammability materials like wood.

## Super Moves

* **Scarlet Flame Impact** (緋色(ひいろ)の炎(ほのお)の影響(えいきょう), *Hiiro no Honō no Eikyō*?) - Raika focuses and raises the temperature of her flames in her first or legs to release either a burning punch or kick.
* **Burning Shot** (バーニングショット, *Bāningu Shotto*?) - Raika creates a bow with her flames and raises the temperature as high as possible to shoot an accurate blazing arrow, best used as a surprise attack amidst an already ongoing battle.
* **Illusory Shadows, Visual Dream** (幻影(げんえい)視覚(しかく)的(てき)夢(ゆめ), *Gen'ei Shikakuteki Yume*?) - Raika generates figures of electricity or flames that frolic and generate bright light that hinders the vision of those looking at them. This was used against Fumikage Tokoyami's out of control Dark Shadow at the Forest Training Camp.
* **Crimson Scorching Wall** (深紅(しんく)の炎天(えんてん)の壁(かべ), *Shinku no Enten no Kabe*?) - Raika creates a large wall barrier of her flames that block her from her opponents, or capture for a short period to buy time.

* Raika notes the electricity part of her Quirk is similar to her cousin Denki Kaminari's, Electrification.
* Electricity-based Quirks like Electric Flames are highly valued in the job market. Because of this, heroes possessing electric Quirk are rather uncommon.
