Alter Ego
Quirk Type: Transformation / Emitter
Primary Function:
Alter Ego enables the user to transform into alternate personas known as Evolved Genetic Offshoots—or E.G.O.s. Each E.G.O. represents a distinct aspect of the user's subconscious and emotions. Upon transformation, the user assumes a new personality, skillset, and combat specialisation.
Secondary Function:
The quirk enhances emotional perception, allowing the user to sense the feelings of others. With deep emotional bonds, this evolves into a two-way link, where both parties can feel each other's emotional state.
Emotional Response Trigger:
Strong emotions—such as love, hatred, fear, and admiration—activate or enhance E.G.O. forms. In extreme cases, spontaneous transformations may occur.
Quirk Resonance:
Alter Ego reacts unpredictably near other quirks, occasionally enhancing, disrupting, or resonating with them. The mechanism is not fully understood.
Drawbacks:
Each E.G.O. has specialised strengths but also specific vulnerabilities not present in the base form.
In the base form, emotional suppression occurs. The user becomes emotionally numb, impairing social interaction and reducing emotional expression.
