Winter Creates a Universe (and other things)

~*Winter*~ · April 22, 2017

I ABSOLUTELY HATE THE YCM EDITOR. CAN YOU NOT MOVE MY TAGS AROUND AND DESTROY MY FORMATTING THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT IS NOT THAT HARD

So, I’ve been formulating an idea for a My Hero Academia RP, except it isn’t really a MHA RP. At best, MHA provides the framework for the universe, but it isn’t a school setting. It takes place in the rest of the Quirk-filled world, with all the different agencies and important places. This also frees up the kinds of Quirks that characters can have, as they won’t be limited to those that would be able to pass an entrance exam.

I’m going to flesh out this universe in this thread here instead of making it a full-fledged RP. This is for a few reasons:

I haven’t completely fleshed out this world and it’d take me forever to finish an OOC, so I’ll just gradually work on it here.
There is already a MHA RP, and I’m a part of it too, so in my opinion, I feel like it would be poor form to start my own while it still exists.

Anyway, I’ll put the characters I come up with below, mostly as WIPs, and will gradually put together worldbuilding information. Perhaps down the line it'll end up as an RP, or maybe I'll stick it into Creative Writing.

Characters

[spoiler=Heroes]

[spoiler=IHA Officials and Associated Heroes]

The IHA, or International Hero Association, is an organization which is funded by the UN that oversees all international hero operations. For example, if a hero in Japan were to travel to the US, anything they do would have to go through the IHA. If they're only there on vacation, they still must follow all Hero Codes for that country, and cannot operate as a hero without prior approval from the IHA. Non-compliance results in a court martial, and in some cases, the hero license may be revoked, and the hero will lose the ability to operate at all.

There are also heroes who are affiliated with the IHA who can operate in any country. These heroes oversee enforcement of all of the IHA laws and requirements, but may also perform hero work as deemed necessary.

[spoiler=Our pet villain :: Ishiyama Kotsuma / Nekro]

"What lovely bone structure you have..."

Dialogue Color: #8888aa

[spoiler=Personal Information]

Name: Ishiyama Kotsuma / 石山骨魔

Age: 36

Gender: Male

[spoiler=Appearance:]

[spoiler=Image in spoiler, if applicable]

Height: 2.03 m / 80.3 in (when standing upright)

Weight: 57.83 kg / 127.5 lbs

Physical Features: (What makes the character notable? Eye color? Hair color and style? Have a strong jawline? Prominent cheek bones? Are they fit? Muscular? Overweight. The character's physical attributes will be described here. If an image was used, things that aren't visible in the image will be described. 50 words with an image, 100 words without one.)

Clothing: (What does the character tend to wear? Their most common fashion choices, as well as anything extraneous. Do they wear glasses? 75 word minimum.)

Hometown: Tokyo, Japan

Status: Active

History: Kotsuma started out as a minor villain as a teenager in Tokyo, performing simple acts like theft and burglary. Gradually, he moved up to larger crimes, and even hopped borders, managing to travel all the way to Europe, which ended up putting him on the IHA’s radar. Surprisingly, he had never fatally injured any hero or civilian. This trait of his kept him in hiding a lot, on the run from the heroes that wanted to apprehend him.

While a fugitive, he found refuge in a small underground villain hideout, run by a mob boss who went by the name Katzen. She was like a mother to him, providing him shelter and food, but also teaching him to fend for himself. Under her wing, Kotsuma improved his usage of his own Quirk, and began working for Katzen as an enforcer. His Quirk and pale-white appearance earned him the nickname Nekromant. Despite his feared status, he still managed not to kill a single person, even as a mob enforcer, although he had removed a bone or two.

About five years later, Katzen’s hideout was raided by the IHA. As it had turned out, one of the members that Kotsuma had spared, opting instead to remove all the bones in his right arm, was suspected of being a mole, although Kotsuma didn’t know that. Katzen wasn’t aware of Kotsuma’s non-killing trait, and had sent him to deal with the traitor. After being mostly spared by Kotsuma, he went directly to the IHA and gave them all of the information that he could, which led to the raid on Katzen’s hideout. Katzen herself managed to escape, but almost everybody else there, including Kotsuma, was captured and detained. Kotsuma was sent directly to the IHA headquarters, based in Los Angeles, for extensive questioning.

For the first couple weeks, he was mostly unresponsive, not really caring about any threats they had. After a while, they kept him in solitary confinement for a few days. Upon coming out, an associated hero looked at him and commented that he looked like an anime villain. He was confused by that statement, as he had never heard of anime before. The hero, Slide, although she insisted on being called Missy, lit up at the chance to introduce someone to anime, and immediately dragged him back to her room, much to the alarm of the guards and other officials. With three guards standing outside, Missy and Kotsuma binged on three different series. This session sparked Missy and Kotsuma’s friendship, and Kotsuma’s later obsession with anime.

Missy’s friendship with Kotsuma ended up being beneficial to the IHA as well. She was the only one able to get information out of him at first, and she had to reward him with a new series to watch or a new game to play. Eventually, he stopped needing rewards, and was comfortable enough to speak to almost anyone. He earned his IHA position as villain consultant, and was even granted an “honorary” hero license, which grants him the ability to perform hero work, but only when supervised.

Family: Kotsuma's birth mother abandoned him as a baby, leaving him with another foster family.

Language: Japanese, English, some Latin and German

Personality: Kotsuma is somewhat quiet, only really speaking when he has something to say. Although when he does have something to say, he’s definitely going to say it. Even if there’s no one around to listen to him, he’ll still speak, simply pretending that he has someone to talk to. He doesn’t really give any thought to how the things he says might sound to another person, oftentimes saying something ridiculous, rude, or perverted. Other times, he might spout something that is surprisingly profound, leading those around him to listen anytime he has something on his mind.

He is actually lazy, and spends most of his time holed up inside his quarters, watching anime or playing video games. The only time he comes out is when he’s summoned to a meeting or if Missy drags him to a convention. Because Kotsuma has spent so many hours watching a screen, his knowledge of different shows is vast, although he does like to try to mimic things he’s seen in anime, usually resulting in failure. Missy often brings him older and more classic shows to watch with him, while he generally keeps up with new releases.

Outside of his friendship with Missy, he doesn’t really understand how to form friendships or relationships, nor does he understand love in general. In such, he’s not particularly worried about how people see him, and doesn’t hesitate to tell someone something they might not want to hear. He’s also not very tactful with people’s feelings, either, and can’t really read an emotional situation very well.

Occupation: As a former villain, Kotsuma works as a villain consultant for the International Heroics Association, acting as inside knowledge to assist in bringing down villainous organizations.

Hobbies: Because Kotsuma isn't allowed to go outside without an escort, he spends most of his time playing video games and watching anime. He is very skilled with computers, and loves building PCs.

Miscellaneous Info: Kotsuma's muscles are extremely weak, with the exception of his facial muscles. Without his Quirk, he can barely get up on his own. He owns seven body pillows, and once brought one with him into an IHA meeting. Missy found it hilarious.

[spoiler=Hero Information]

Hero Name: "Devil Hero" Nekro / 悪魔ヒーロー･ネクロ

Quirk: Bone Control and Calcium Growth

Category: Emitter

[spoiler=Quirk Info:]

Description: Kotsuma's Quirk allows him to control bones by touching them, both his own and those of others, as well as creating bone-like deposits on his body.

Mainpulating Bone: By itself, Kotsuma's Quirk allows him to manipulate bone, either living or non-living, simply by contact. By default, he can manipulate his own skeleton as he pleases. To be able to manipulate the bones of another, he must make physical contact with the bone itself; touching the skin will have no effect. Kotsuma has the greatest degree of control on his own skeleton. He can use each bone as a weapon, forcing it to protrude from the body, and shape it as he needs. For example, he can have his ulna protrude and sharpen as a blade, or use his carpal bones as projectiles. Using another’s bones only gives him control over movement, and doesn’t allow him to alter its shape.
Movement: Because Kotsuma can manipulate and control his own skeleton at all times, he is capable of using his Quirk to control his own movement to a greater degree than that of a normal person. He can move at significant speeds with his Quirk, able to almost make it appear like he is teleporting. His skeleton is only slightly stronger than average, however, and moving and stopping too quickly can damage his joints.
Healing and Regeneration: Kotsuma does have the capability to heal some injuries. He can mend and repair bone structures, so long as he has contact or if it is his own. He can also form a type of protective bandage over any cuts or wounds. His body produces a calcium deposit that forms over the wound, which acts a sort of protective covering. This covering's structure is comparable to bone and coats itself in keratin, becoming just as hard as an animals horns.
Calcium: Kotsuma’s body can produce calcium deposits wherever he needs to. Generally used to cover wounds, he can also use it to create claws or small weapons that he can use for combat. These calcium deposits coat themselves with keratin and become rather hard, although this takes a bit of time. They also take on a dark blue hue once coated fully. There is a limit to how much calcium his body can produce, which is dependent on his calcium intake. This requires him to have a very high calcium diet, and he can be seen constantly eating raw uncracked eggs. However, if he doesn’t use the calcium he intakes, he has a risk of forming kidney stones.
Calcium Deposit Limits: At a bare minimum, Kotsuma can create a set of claws on each finger with about 2g of calcium. He can intake up to about 100g of calcium before his body begins to reject it. With his calcium deposits, other than claws, he also likes to create a tail that looks similar to a set of vertebrae. He gains full control over it, but if it is damaged or any part of it is detached, he cannot repair it or replace it. Instead of a tail, he can also create a set of wings, although they are purely aesthetic and have no real function.

Stats

Power - ★★★☆☆

Speed - ★★★★★

Defense - ★★☆☆☆

Range - ★★☆☆☆

Skill - ★★★★★

Teamwork - ★☆☆☆☆

Quirk Mastery: A

Fighting Style: Because Kotsuma can control bones and skeletons, he can end a fight once he can gain control of his opponent’s body. To do this however, he must be able to touch that person’s bone, requiring that he makes a cut or wound deep enough that he can touch bone. To accomplish this, Kotsuma adopted a sort of hit and run fighting style, dashing in and out using his increased mobility, and attempting to get small hits on the opponent to wear them down, before he can make a deciding blow. He can also use his bones as projectiles to chip at an enemy from a distance.

Weakness: Because Kotsuma relies so heavily on his Quirk for motion, he is physically very weak. As such, he cannot take damage very well at all, and can quickly be incapacitated by a firm hit. He can be knocked out very easily by any head injury.

The character's physical attributes will be described here. If an image was used, things that aren't visible in the image will be described. 50 words with an image, 100 words without one.)

Clothing: (What does the character tend to wear? Their most common fashion choices, as well as anything extraneous. Do they wear glasses? 75 word minimum.)

Hometown: Sapporo, Japan

Status: Active

History: (Describe the character's past. Where they grew up, their family life, etc. Mention things such as how their quirk manifested, its effects, and other things. 450 word minimum.)

Family: Noritsugu is a descendant of Kauzaki Tokikazu (神時一), who was an influential leader, and one of the founding members of the International Heroics Association. Tokizaku was also one of only 3 Quirk users in history to have a time-related Quirk, being able to slow his own perception of time. Noritsugu’s father, Kauzaki Modoki (神戻樹) could desynchronize people’s eyesight if they heard him whistle, which was very useful in combat. Noritsugu’s mother died due to a malignant brain tumor that had formed from use of her Quirk over time. It eventually prevented her from using her Quirk altogether, and later spread to other sections of the brain. Kauzaki Afuru (神感) possessed the ability to absorb people’s emotions by physical contact. The excess of chemicals in her brain had a negative effect on her and formed a cancerous tumor. Noritsugu also has a half-brother under a different mother, but neither of them know of the other's existence.

Language: English, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Greek, Latin

Personality: (What is the character like? Are they honest? Do they have a lot of energy? Things of that nature. Remember to note other small things that might influence them, as well as any mental issues they may experience. 250 word minimum.)

Occupation: Noritsugu is the Head of the International Heroics Association, an organization funded by the UN to oversee all international hero operations.

Hobbies: Noritsugu enjoys reading in his spare time. He prefers classics, one of his favorites being The Divine Comedy. He also loves to cook, but that's a secret to everyone.

Miscellaneous Info: (Whatever else. Allergies, blood type, fetishes, sexuality, whatever.)

Quirk: Future Sight

Category: Mutant

[spoiler=Quirk Info:]

Description: Noritsugu's Quirk offsets his vision by about 0.5 seconds, giving him the ability to see into the future.

(More lines can be added as necessary. List things such as how the quirk is used, limitations of the Quirk, how it affects people, etc. At least 3 bullet points, and a 50 word minimum per bullet point.)

Stats (Rated between 1-5 stars. Two stars represents average human capability, with the exception of the Range category. There are 18 points to allot to the following six categories. An explanation is not necessary.)

Power - ★★★☆☆ (Straightforward enough. Power refers to the character's general physical strength or the ability to hit hard. This is towards physical capabilities mostly, but can also refer to overall damage output.)

Speed - ★★★☆☆ (Speed has two main factors: mobility and reaction time. Quirks that buff movement will logically have a high speed stat, but characters with a high speed stat can also have Quirks that enhance reaction time.)

Defense - ★★★☆☆ (This refers to, well, defense. It's the character's ability to block, guard, or otherwise reduce incoming damage to themselves or others. It can also refer to a character's ability to resist damage and their general tankiness. Characters with high stamina and endurance will have higher defense ratings.)

Range - ★★★☆☆ (The effective range of the character's Quirk. One star is default; it's arms-length away. One star would be Quirks where you need to physically touch something to use the Quirk on it, or it can only be used on the user, such as for Transformation Quirks. Five stars is generally rare for this category, as it shows an infinite or near infinite range. Range doesn't only refer to physical reach in some cases. If a Quirk does something like enhancing the user's vision or hearing, then the enhanced field of vision is reflected in the Range rating.)

Skill - ★★★☆☆ (Skill refers to things such as accuracy and focus. How accurate the Quirk needs to be to be effective, how dangerous it is to the user or others, and how easy it is to use all factor into a character's skill rating.)

Teamwork - ★★★☆☆ (Slightly tied into skill, Teamwork is a rating of how well a Quirk can be used in a team-oriented setting. Support-styled abilities and abilities with low Power ratings will generally have a higher Teamwork rating, while more combat-focused and damage-heavy Quirks may not be suited for working as a team.)

Quirk Mastery: A-E (How well does the character understand how his/her Quirk functions? Are they aware of its secondary functions? How well can they mitigate its drawbacks? Rank from A-E, with E being the lowest.)

Fighting Style: (How does the character fight? Do they rely on their Quirk? Do they prefer hand-to-hand? A mix of both? How do they fight against another person? Do they like to rush in? Are they patient and wait for openings? Do they like to stay outside of the opponent's range? Are they a grappler? Do they like to hit and run? Be detailed here. 100 word minimum.)

Weakness: (Nothing too much needs to go here. Just a weakness of the character in combat. Do they have a blind spot? An inherent weakness of their Quirk? Their body? Is it a personality trait? Are they overconfident? Do they get pushed into a corner easily? Do they overextend? Are they predictable and easy to read? For example, someone with a ranged Quirk might not do very well when their opponent is up close. Or someone with low mobility might have trouble closing the distance between a ranged Quirk user. At least 2 sentences.)

Occupation: Formerly an intern at a hero agency in Seattle, now works as a Public Relations Agent for IHA.

Hobbies: Missy watches a lot of anime, and can be seen spending a lot of time with Kotsuma. She also loves swing music, and enjoys dancing.

Miscellaneous Info: Speaks with a slight French accent.

[spoiler=Hero Information]

Hero Name: Slide

Quirk: Friction

Category: Emitter

[spoiler=Quirk Info:]

Description: Missy's Quirk lets her make any object completely frictionless.

Removing Friction: Missy’s Quirk lets her take away an object’s friction, letting it slide effortlessly across any surface. She performs this by touching three of her fingers to the object (her index, middle, and thumb, specifically). Once the pads of her fingers break contact, the object loses all its friction and will act as so. It slides along the ground with minimal effort, and it also experiences reduced air resistance.
Releasing an Object: To return an object’s friction, Missy can release the effect of her Quirk by snapping the fingers on the hand she used to activate her Quirk. She can do it with either hand, although because she is left-handed, she has trouble releasing her Quirk with her right hand. The snap must be audible, which is difficult for her to do with her right hand.
Surface Area Limits: The amount of things Missy can affect with her Quirk is limited by surface area. In peak condition, Missy’s Quirk can affect up to 150m² at one time, or just over 1600 ft². On a normal day, however, her Quirk reaches only to about 100 m², or a little under 1100 ft².

Stats

Power - ★★☆☆☆

Speed - ★★★★☆

Defense - ★★★☆☆

Range - ★★☆☆☆

Skill - ★★★★☆

Teamwork - ★★★☆☆

Quirk Mastery: B

Fighting Style: In combat, Missy generally starts out by making one of her feet frictionless, letting her glide effortlessly around her opponent. If she’s in an enclosed space or on a platform, she can make the ground frictionless as well to keep her opponent from being able to move or stand. She also likes to keep her clothes frictionless as well, as a defensive move to be able to deflect attacks more easily. She prefers keeping in close combat, however, because she has been trained in disarming techniques by her father.

Weakness: While Missy does boast improved speed with her quirk, her actual mobility is lacking. When moving without friction on one foot, she only has her other foot to be able to stop or turn. If she’s moving too quickly, she’ll injure her knee if she stops, or trip over herself if she tries to turn too sharply.

[spoiler=I'm not fat! :: Amelia Rhine / Lead Feather]

"Isn't it rude to ask a woman how much she weighs?"

Dialogue Color: #40e0d0

[spoiler=Personal Information]

Name: Amelia Rhine

Age: 24

Gender: Female

[spoiler=Appearance:]

[spoiler=Image in spoiler, if applicable]

Height: 71 inches / 180.3 cm

Weight: 122.1 lbs / 55.4 kg

Physical Features: Amelia is somewhat tall, being just under six feet. Despite her size, she keeps herself rather lean, not eating very much to keep her weight down. She does manage to stay healthy, however. Her eyes are a light brown color, which many people can easily mistake for being golden. Her eyes match her hair, and she often keeps it down, letting it fall to her waist.

Clothing: Amelia generally prefers to wear light or loose-fitting clothing, often opting to wear skirts or sundresses. She prefers to go with shades of blue, although highlights of other colors are welcome. During colder months, she wears leggings or stockings to keep herself warm, as her body doesn’t offer much resistance on its own. In terms of accessories, she prefers to keep things minimal, generally wearing small studs. Her nails are always some shade of blue, usually a navy blue.

Hometown: La Joya, California, USA

Status: Active

History: (Describe your character's past. Where they grew up, their family life, etc. Mention things such as how their quirk manifested, its effects, and other things. 450 word minimum.)

Family: Amelia is the only child of Anton and Darling Rhine. Anton Rhine worked as an executive at a hero insurance company, while his wife was a public relations agent for heroes. Anton's Quirk was Gather, which allowed him to draw in small objects similar to a gravitational pull. Anton's Quirk and his cleverness allowed him to move up the corporate ranks. Darling's Quirk was Flutter, which gave her an incredibly low body weight and allowed her to almost float in the air. Her Quirk didn't see much use in her work life, although she was one of the top performers in her workplace.

Language: English, French, some Spanish

Personality: Amelia loves to focus on her appearance, making her incredibly vain. She prides herself on her slim figure, and enjoys showing off sometimes. She does not like dirt nor does she like being dirty, and often showers up to three times a day. She carries around disposable gloves with her in case she needs them (she usually does). Despite this, she doesn’t mind sweating, so long as it is her own. She is not completely averted to dirt, however. If the situation requires it, she will move past her own issues and, although she won’t like it at all, get dirty.

In terms of interactions, she loves to embarrass people. While she does try not to cross a line, she will often tease someone to no end, enough to at least make their face visibly red. Because she puts so much work into keeping in shape, she does use her body to tease boys (and sometimes girls) as well. She is skilled enough with her Quirk to protect herself if anyone goes too far as well. She does also enjoy using her Quirk to mess with people as well. She'll have people carry her in a Light Stage, and then slowly switch to a Heavy Stage to weigh them down.

Although she carries herself well, she does have issues with self-esteem when it comes to her Quirk. Because using Heavy Stages effectively would require her to build muscle mass, she prefers not to use them at all, and in turn acts as if her Quirk is to only become light. This self-imposed limitation leads her to sometimes believe that she is weak and causes her to doubt herself. So in situations where she wouldn’t be able to use a Light Stage, she tends to hesitate before using a Heavy Stage.

Occupation: Amelia is a full-time student at Valiance University of Heroics, although she does tutor in general studies on the side.

Hobbies: Amelia does have her pilot's license, and flies her uncle's plane every now and then. She also enjoys flowers and studies botany in her spare time.

Miscellaneous Info: She is absolutely terrified of snakes.

[spoiler=Hero Information]

Hero Name: "Floaty Hero" Lead Feather

Quirk: Light & Heavy

Category: Transformation

[spoiler=Quirk Info:]

Description: Light & Heavy allows Amelia to either double or halve her body weight. She can use it up to 3 times, allowing for her to either cut her weight to an eighth or weigh eight times as much as normal.

Changing Her Weight: Amelia's Quirk allows her to change her weight by doubling it or halving it. She can do this in three stages, with Stage 0 being her normal weight, Stage +3 being her max weight, and Stage -3 being her minimum weight. Changing her weight requires no activation; she can simply will herself to increase her weight at any time and her body will do so. Amelia can easily switch through Stages, although there is a cooldown of about a second between switching stages. Additionally, she can only shift one stage at a time, meaning if she's at Stage 0, she can only go to Stage +1 or -1 from there.
Technical: Amelia’s Quirk functions by altering the way that her body is affected by gravity. Specifically, she changes the acceleration of gravity, but only for her own body. This effect does not include her clothes, which is why she prefers to wear only light clothing. Because her Quirk changes her acceleration of gravity, and not her mass, she will fall faster in Heavy Stages and slower in Light Stages. Thus, in changing her weight, she subjects herself to 2, 4, or 8 Gs in Heavy Stages, or ½, ¼, and ⅛ Gs in Light Stages. Additionally, when in a heavy stage, she tends to fall faster than her clothes do, which means she has to hold them down to prevent them from flipping up and showing everything.
Light Stages: Amelia refers to Stages -3 to -1 as her Light Stages, as these are the stages that reduce her body weight. Amelia personally prefers to use Light Stages, as the decreased body weight grants her increased mobility, although she can also be sent flying very easily. Going down from Stage -1, she’ll weigh about 61, 30, and 15 pounds respectively. While Amelia does enjoy using Light Stages, she can't stay in them for too long. If she spends too long in a Light Stage, her muscles can become atrophied and her bone density would decrease.
Heavy Stages: Stages +1 to +3 are referred to as the Heavy Stages. These are the stages that increase Amelia’s body weight, going from 244 to 488 to 977 at Stage +3. In Heavy Stages, Amelia’s body becomes harder to move, both for her and an opponent. While she has increased defensive capabilities, she loses significant mobility and may have difficulty standing. She also prefers not to use Heavy Stages, as spending too long in a Heavy Stage will cause her to gain a lot of muscle mass, which she wants to avoid.

Quirk Mastery: C

Fighting Style: While Amelia is capable of fighting without her Quirk, she much prefers to rely on it during combat. Amelia fights very patiently, and usually prefers to keep away from her opponent, using more of a bait and punish style of fighting. This means that she will often stay just out of range of an opponent’s attacks, sometimes coming in and out, to try to get them to do something reckless, which she can then take advantage of. She also is somewhat of a grappler, grabbing onto her opponents and using a Heavy Stage to bring them down or immobilize them.

Weakness: Amelia's weakness in combat is inherent to her Quirk. In Light Stages, because of her incredibly low body weight, she can't deal much in terms of damage, and can be knocked away very easily. In Heavy Stages, she can't move very much, although she can't be moved very easily either. Heavy Stage also puts a lot of strain on her legs, specifically her knees.

[spoiler=Hero Costume:]

Description: Amelia’s hero costume is rather simple. It consists of a light blue sleeveless top with a ring of feathers around the neck and around both of her wrists. Her midriff and upper back are revealed through a diamond shaped cutout of the suit. She also wears a slightly darker blue skirt that reaches about an inch and a half above her knees. It is hemmed with a white fluff, both around the waist and the bottom part. Underneath her skirt, she wears a pair of plain white leggings, with another ring of feathers on her ankles. For shoes, she wears simple dark blue flats, with a single feather on the toe of each. Overall, her hero costume only weighs about 3 pounds with all its equipment.

Equipment: The back of Amelia's top, just below the nape of her neck, hides a small parachute, which is enough to nearly stop her momentum completely when in Stage -3, although she still does fall, albeit slowly. If she makes contact between the feather rings on her ankles and the ones on her wrists, she can pull out fabric which can form a kind of wingsuit, allowing her to glide while in a Light Stage.
