Chapter Text
Subject: The Fool
Outside World Ties: None. Subject was left at an orphanage by parents. The Shadows acquired subject soon afterwards, with all concerning data erased from the orphanage’s servers.
Birth Quirk:
- Persona: Emitter Type. Allows subject to seamlessly shift personalities depending on the situation. Briefly summons an apparition of what seem to be either fairy tale or mythological characters, dubbed “Personas”, when activated. Subconsciously activated.
Update: Subject can now shift “Personas” at will. Subject has also apparently gained the ability to summon the apparitions at will and have them interact with the physical world, whether that is due to the experiments done on the subject or simply gained by aging is currently unknown.
Additional Quirks:
- Third Eye: Emitter Type. Subject gains the ability to “highlight” whatever the subject deems important but might not be able to normally see. Subject’s original Quirk already showed great observational and perceptive skills, which meant Third Eye was the easiest Quirk to add.
- Phantom Dash: Emitter Type. Allows the subject to quickly dash between shadows at a five feet radius.
- Phantom Bullet: Emitter Type. Allows the subject to fire bullets made of compressed darkness out of any gun without the need of ammo. Quirk seems to work on cognition, as shown when the subject managed to use the Quirk despite only being given a model gun, which the subject had been unaware of until after the test was over.
- Shadow Presence: Mutant Type. The subject naturally blends in with nearby shadows.
- Marking Shot: Emitter Type. Targets hit with bullets are marked in subject’s mind, allowing the subject to know when the marked target is nearby.
Notes:
- Subject shows an affinity towards Darkness/Shadow Elemental Quirks.
- Phantom Bullet works well alongside Marking Shot.
- Phantom Dash works well alongside both Third Eye, and Shadow Presence.
- Third Eye is able to track down targets hit with Marking Shot.
- As expected, subject has become the unofficial leader of the Project Arcana test subjects.
Subject: The Magician
Outside World Ties: None. Subject was a stray before being found by Shadows.
Birth Quirk:
- Enhanced Learning: Mutant Type. Subject’s brain naturally allows it to better process and understand information, to the point the subject has even been able to learn proper speech.
Additional Quirks:
- Garu: Emitter Type. Grants limited aerokinesis.
- Salvation: Emitter Type. Heals any injuries or ailments on multiple targets. A single use leaves subject extremely exhausted.
- Shape-Shifting: Transformation Type. Allows subject to change forms. Subject has only been able to transform into inanimate objects so far.
Notes:
- The subject is one of the rare few animals to develop a Quirk.
- Subject’s original Quirk, Enhanced Learning, made it so it is currently the test subject with the best control over its Quirks.
- As expected, the subject has quickly bonded with The Fool.
Subject: The Chariot
Outside World Ties: None. Father unaware of subject’s existence. Mother terminated after opposing the Shadows. Official records show mother and child died in car accident.
Birth Quirk:
- Unflinching: Emitter Type. Surrounds subject in a golden aura that cancels any and all momentum of any object that comes in contact with it. Subject, as such, becomes unable to be forcibly moved, as well as becoming unable to be pierced by blades or bullets. The subject, however, will still feel the blow and receive blunt force damage instead of piercing.
Additional Quirks:

- Bufu: Emitter Type. Grants limited cryokinesis.
- Sukukaja: Emitter Type. Temporarily enhances subject’s speed.
