### **Description**

The Citrus Quirk bestows upon its user the distinctive traits of various citrus fruits, encompassing their skin, flesh, and fluids. This quirk has manifested in numerous families worldwide, making it increasingly prevalent.

One remarkable aspect of this quirk is the user's extraordinary ability to rapidly regenerate their skin, which can exhibit flavors ranging from bitter and acidic to sweet. This regenerative capacity enables the user to heal wounds swiftly and maintain the integrity of their protective layer.

Additionally, the user's body fluids, including sweat, blood, and saliva, possess a sour or bitter taste and elicit a stinging sensation upon contact. This characteristic adds a defensive dimension to their abilities, acting as a deterrent against adversaries.

It is important to note that individuals with variations of the Citrus Quirk, such as Orange and Lime, possess additional abilities associated with their unique body fluids. These specific variations grant them extra powers related to the flavors they represent.

Furthermore, the user can augment the production of these fluids by massaging their muscles, facilitating an increased flow. Moreover, the potency of the fluids can be influenced by the level of acidity in the user's diet, allowing them to adjust the intensity of their abilities accordingly.

The main version of this quirk is officially known as 'Citrus,' but commonly referred to as 'Hybrid Citrus.' This extraordinary variation combines the distinctive traits of multiple citrus fruits, resulting in a truly formidable and versatile quirk.

Hybrid Citrus users not only exhibit the abilities of the base citrus quirks but also possess enhanced speed and strength. They benefit from a superior metabolism and balanced digestion. Some hybrids even possess the extraordinary ability to mentally manipulate all citrus fruits, excluding individuals with the same quirk or one of the citrus base quirks.

The Hybrid Citrus Quirk offers an amalgamation of powers, making its users faster, stronger, and more versatile than those with basic Citrus quirks. With their exceptional metabolic and mental control abilities, Hybrid Citrus users are formidable forces to be reckoned with.

### Bases

The Citrus Quirk presents a fascinating array of possibilities, with each user's base determined by the combination of their parents' quirks. The most common bases include Lemon, Lime, Sweet Orange, Sour Orange, Tangerine, Citrange, Limequat, Grapefruit, and Mandelo. Each base exhibits distinct acidity and sweetness levels, unique abilities, and their skin color corresponds to the skin of their respective fruit.

Lime and Lemon-based users boast rough and robust skin, granting them heightened durability and resilience. On the other hand, Mandelo-based individuals possess lower acidity levels, making their abilities less corrosive in nature. These variations in base provide users with a diverse range of powers and characteristics.

The fruit below are Citrus fruit based quirks, but aren't apart of the 'Hybrid Citrus' quirk (apart from Tangerine):

* Orange - Trifoliate, Tangerine, and Mandarin
* Kumquat - Hong Kong, Oval, Round, and Meiwa
* Lime - Makrut, Australian, Caviar, and Desert
* Citron - Diamante, Greek, Balady, Corsican, Moroccan, Fingered, and Yemenite
* Pomelo - Dangyuja, and Banpeiyu
* Papeda - Ichang, Mountain Citron, Khasi, Micrantha, Celebes, Macroptera, Alemow, and Kalpi

#### Combinations

The combinations to acquire the Citrus Quirk are numerous and lead to various outcomes:

* Combining the Orange Quirk with the Pomelo Quirk results in the creation of bases such as **Sweet Orange**, **Sour Orange**, **Satsuma Orange**, **Tangerine Orange**, or **Mandelo**.

* Combining the Orange Quirk or Citrus Quirk (Tangerine Orange-based) with the Citrus Quirk (Grapefruit-based) or Pomelo Quirk gives rise to the **Tangelo** base.

* Blending the Orange Quirk with the Citron Quirk results in bases like **Rangpur Lime** and **Rough Lemon**.

* Merging the Citron Quirk with the Citrus Quirk (Orange-based) leads to the creation of **True Lemon** and **Sweet Lime** bases.

* Combining the Citron Quirk with the Citrus Quirk (Orange-based) gives rise to **Meyer Lemon** and **Sweet Lime** bases.

* Blending the Citron Quirk with the Citrus Quirk (Lemon-based) results in the **Florentine Citron** base.

* Combining the Pomelo Quirk with the Citron Quirk leads to the **Ponderosa Lemon** base.

* Merging the Pomelo Quirk with the Citrus Quirk (Orange-based) produces the **Grapefruit** and **Citrange** bases.

* Blending the Kumquat Quirk with the Citrus Quirk (Lime-based) or Lime Quirk leads to the **Limequat** base.

* Combining the Papedas Quirk with the Orange Quirk results in the **Yuzu** and **Kabosu** bases.

* Merging the Papedas Quirk with the Citron Quirk gives rise to the **Key Lime** base.

It's important to note that while certain Citrus-based quirks share similarities with fruits like Orange, Kumquat, Lime, Citron, Pomelo, and Papedas, they are distinct entities within the Citrus Quirk framework. However, the Tangerine sub-type is an exception, serving both as a sub-type of the Orange Quirk and as a base for the Citrus Quirk, offering unique capabilities and potential for hybridization.

The Orange sub-type Tanerine is its own sub-type for the Orange quirk, as well as a base for Citrus. The Orange sub-type of Trifoliate is the only sub-type that cannot produce a hybrid in the combonations stated above.

Users possess a bell-shaped physique, with skin colors ranging from reddish-orange to bright orange. Some individuals within the quirk may have the ability to peel their skin, a trait inherited from the Pomelo influence. The hair of Tangelo users can vary, with some displaying smooth orange or white hair, while others may have green and wrinkled hair.

One of the prominent traits of Tangelo users is their ability to produce a significant amount of tart and tangy juice. This juice exhibits a unique flavor profile, combining elements of sweetness, acidity, and tanginess. The abundance of juice production is a result of their hybrid quirk's influence, be it from the Pomelo or Grapefruit side.

In contrast to other citrus quirks, Tangelo users have weaker muscles, making them physically less imposing compared to their counterparts. However, they compensate for this with their juice production and tactical abilities. Tangelo users do not possess the ability to disrupt other people's quirks like Grapefruit quirk users. Instead, their focus lies in utilizing their flavorful and abundant juice as a versatile tool in combat and other situations.

Additionally, Tangelo users exhibit agile movements and enhanced nimbleness, which stems from the influence of the Tangerine or Orange quirk.

It is worth noting that the Florentine Citron users are considered rare, and their appearance is often perceived as less conventionally attractive compared to other citrus quirk users. This perception has led to social taboos and stigmatization, particularly discouraging relationships between individuals with the Citron quirk and those with lemon-based citrus quirks. However, there are individuals who advocate for the freedom of love and relationships, emphasizing the subjective nature of beauty and the importance of accepting others for who they are.

In terms of physical attributes, Florentine Citron users are generally tall, but their top-heavy build is a common characteristic. They have a bumpy skin texture, reflecting their Citron heritage, and exhibit rapid hair growth, necessitating regular trimming to prevent hindrance.

The Florentine Citron quirk combines the defensive capabilities of the Citron quirk, such as thick skin and regenerative abilities, with the acidic properties and regenerative powers of the Lemon quirk.

In their youth, their skin takes on a green hue, gradually transitioning to its vibrant yellow shade over time.

Drawing from the Lime quirk, Limequat users possess the exceptional ability to rapidly regenerate their skin. This regenerative capacity ensures swift healing and allows their skin to maintain its integrity even in the face of injuries. The regenerated skin can possess either a bitter or sour taste, adding a unique flavor aspect to their abilities. Their lime green hair further emphasizes their connection to the Lime quirk.

Additionally, inheriting traits from the Kumquat quirk, Limequat users have skin with exceptional durability, enabling them to endure extreme temperatures without adverse effects. The quirk bestows upon them the power of rejuvenation, allowing the juice produced by their skin to possess remarkable anti-aging properties. When applied to their body, this juice can make the user appear younger than their actual age.

Similar to other Citrus quirks, Limequat users have body fluids that carry a sour sting. However, their Limequat quirk places a particular emphasis on their anti-aging and regenerative capabilities, making them formidable in combat and highly adept at self-preservation. The combination of Lime and Kumquat powers provides Limequat users with a unique set of advantages, blending the rejuvenating effects of the Kumquat quirk with the versatility of lime-based abilities.

Depending on their variation, the user's skin can carry a taste that ranges from bitter to acidic or sweet. However, it is their body fluids, notably their sweat, blood, and saliva, that define the true essence of their quirk. These fluids possess a sourness that inflicts a stinging sensation upon contact, causing joint pain, swelling, stiffness, muscular discomfort, stomach discomfort, and burns. While immobilizing for their opponents, the acidic nature of their fluids does not cause destructive damage to structures.

The potency of their acid can be enhanced by adjusting the level of acidity in their diet, and massaging their muscles stimulates the production of more acidic fluids, amplifying the effectiveness of their quirk.

#### Kabosu

Users have green skin and yellow hair, although variations may exist, including yellow skin or a blend of both colors. Their skin possesses a slight bumpy texture and showcases the exceptional regenerative ability inherited from the Papeda Quirk.

This resilient skin exhibits resistance to diseases and can endure frost, making them highly adaptable to adverse conditions. Additionally, their body fluids, such as sweat, blood, and saliva, carry a bitter taste, adding to their defensive capabilities. The bitterness of their fluids inflicts a stinging sensation upon contact, acting as a deterrent against adversaries.

#### Key Lime

The user's entire body is covered in vibrant green skin, reminiscent of the papeda fruit, while their hair radiates a striking yellow hue, reflecting the influence of the citron fruit. This captivating blend of green skin and yellow hair creates a visually stunning appearance that sets them apart.

Building upon the strengths of both the Papeda and Citron quirks, the Key Lime Quirk grants its users the extraordinary ability to regenerate their skin at an exceptional rate. This incredible regenerative capacity ensures swift healing, bolstering their resilience in intense combat scenarios. Furthermore, their regenerating skin possesses properties that can be either acidic or sweet, depending on the specific variation of the Key Lime Quirk they possess.

In terms of defense, the Key Lime Quirk significantly enhances the user's capabilities. The frost-hardy and unpalatable nature inherited from the Papeda Quirk empowers their skin, transforming it into a formidable shield against external threats. This remarkable resilience enables them to withstand frost and resist diseases, even in the most adverse conditions. Adding to their defensive prowess, the user's body fluids, including sweat, blood, and saliva, possess a bitter taste. This bitterness not only deters adversaries but also inflicts a stinging sensation upon contact, providing an additional layer of protection.

A defining characteristic of the Key Lime Quirk is the user's ability to grow delicate white flowers on their head, an attribute inherited from the Citron Quirk. These blossoms enhance their aesthetic appeal, serving as a symbol of their unique fusion of powers and further highlighting the exceptional nature of the Key Lime Quirk.

### **Weaknesses**

One notable weakness of the Citrus Quirk is the user's susceptibility to scurvy if they do not maintain proper hydration and sufficient intake of vitamin C. Scurvy is a condition caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, which is essential for collagen production and overall health. Without an adequate supply of vitamin C, the user's body may experience symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, swollen gums, joint pain, and impaired wound healing. Therefore, it is crucial for Citrus Quirk users to prioritize hydration and consume foods rich in vitamin C to prevent the onset of scurvy and maintain their optimal health.
