Ohma popped a bubble gum bubble with his tongue as he rolled through the small mall on his skate board, a bored look on his face and his red hair streaming out behind him. He tilted his body as he zig-zagged through other people walking around. He didn't garner any looks and security if you could call the overweight mall cop a security guard just lazily shouted at him. Ohma shrugged and pushed off with his right foot to gain a little more momentum. Ohma had been in Japan for two years and he was still learning about the country he now lived in. Being born in Hawaii in the states a lot of things were different, it was like a whole new world. New rules, customs, ideas. Everything was different but not like in a bad way. Sure Ohma stood out a little with his tanned complexion and bright red hair but in a world where stone men and shark people were everyday sights a kid with a tanned complexion was nothing to really see as interesting.
His green gaze caught onto a crowd of boys ogling something and out of curiosity he skated over to check. Dressed in a tight t-shirt with blue jeans and sneakers he wasn't really standing out much. Almost bored like he popped his skate board into his hand and walked over to ask one of the boys what was going on. He discovered some models were doing photo shoots here and the boys were hoping to get a look. Ohma rolled his eyes and hopped back on his board. He had better things to do than look at girls, he had plenty of beauties at school he could talk too. Why deal with some model? His board took him to the food court where he grabbed a burger and some fries, than over to check out the new surf boards. He gazed at the long board with a hungry look before deciding he had enough window shopping and it was time to move on. Hopping back on his board he took the same avenue that he came in on. He notice the boys had fled and a young woman was standing by herself watching the photo shoot room.
Ohma stopped next to her as he chewed his gum, his gaze on the photo room while a young woman took pictures. He turned his head and glanced at the girl before smirking. "You are Yumi Tasukai right? I saw your picture in beach monthly, was a awesome day. Did you see the waves in the background? Must have been a killer swell that day." He turned his head to look back at the store. "So, are you gonna be a pro model or is this just a hobby?" Ohma seemed relaxed for a young man who was meeting a magazine model, but than again Ohma never put much stock into those kind of things. He found boys that ogled girls like they were candy or treated them like property were scum anyway. "I'm Ohma, pleasure to meet you."

“Okay Tasukai just lift your chin a little for me… there we go.”
Snap
Yumi shifted subtly as she was told, then again and again, making subtle changes everytime the camera took a picture, just letting it grab some different angles on her face or adjusting her pose a little here and there so it could get the best shot. Modeling for real was a lot more in depth than taking shots for her cosplay blog but hey, one was a hobby that happened to be profitable, the other was a job, so she wasn’t about to complain especially considering how good the pay could be. With the summer season coming up a catalogue had been wanting to get a lot of fresh shots for it’s swimsuit brands and a few more glamour shots they’d use for other advertisement campaigns. With the weather still cold though, it called for an indoor photoshoot, which left Yumi enjoying a bit of warmth as she rolled onto her back on the fake beach.
They… coulda used some more privacy though…
Yumi’s eyes idly drifted to the glass doors of the empty storefront in the mall they were using to set up the fake beach, a group of boys enjoying the view of girls in bikini’s tossing and turning on this imaginary little beach. She wasn’t exactly someone to feel shame in her body so it didn’t bother her too much, but still, she miiiiight have to ask the next time she worked with this photographer they find somewhere with more closed off walls.
In time though, her own shoots were finished for the most part, and Yumi made sure to ask if she could get some of the shots they weren’t going to use emailed to her so she could put them on her blog. A quick enough deal struck, and she’d throw on a hoodie and pull up some jeans over her swimsuit before heading outside. One great thing about modelling gigs was half the time they let you keep the clothes.~
Stepping outside for a bit, she thought about maybe going down the food court but she stuck around for a bit as the last girl got out a few shots, idly watching it from the outside through the glass when a voice caught her attention, glancing across to catch a head of Red hair. They were about the same height so despite some younger features Yumi innately assumed they must have been about the same age, sharing a warm smile with the boy before her… then she realized why he’d stepped over to her and gave a chuckle.
“Wooow. I’m actually getting recognized for my work huh? This is new.~” She offered her hand for a shake, her hoodie zipped up, not revealing the fact she was still wearing her bikini from the last shoot under her clothes. “Yeah I’m Yumi. The whole modelling thing is… well I’m gonna try and keep it up, but I actually go to UA. I’m training to be a pro hero, this is all just er… a fun way to make cash I suppose.~”

Ohma took the offered hand with a gentleman's grip his father had taught him. Squeezing was for men, with a woman you were gentle. He gave the slightest pressure into the handshake before letting go and showed off his thousand kilowatt smile. "Yeah, the picture had some epic waves in the back ground. I mean yeah you were good too but the ocean was what caught my eye. Wish I had been there that day, killer swell." He chuckled as he realized he was talking too much, than again he always did speak his mind. "But yeah, your name was on the page and I am good with remembering stuff like that." He smiled even larger when she said she went to UA and that she wanted to be a hero. Here was someone who went to the school he himself wanted to go to and in a profession he wanted as well. It really was a small world, unless a lot of kids around here went to the School. But than again he shouldn't be surprised, hero's get all sorts of media attention. Would make sense that students would get some publicity too.
"UA huh? I want to go myself. They are doing enrollments next month and I am already putting my name forward to be in the hero class. I am really excited for it and to see where my life goes with it. Any tips for a freshman about to head into the mouth of the beast?" Interesting enough the young lad hadn't wanted to be a hero or ever considered being a hero until he came to Japan. His friends he met talked about the profession like it was some kind of rock star status or something. And the fact they could use their quirks to fight crime was just epic, Ohma had feared his quirk when he was younger before he got a handle on it and now instead he used it for cool stuff when he got the chance to utilize it. "So what Quirk do you have? Like our you a battle hero or a rescue hero?" He asked with genuine interest. He was always curious what kind of Quirks people had, as he gazed around the mall and saw all these people he thought again how easy it would be for any of these people to just go on a killing rampage.
Those kinds of thoughts always popped into his head, how amazing it was that moral codes and laws kept the city from becoming a free for all bloodbath. And right now two teenagers stood looking at a young woman take photos in a mall that could just as quickly become a battle field. He mentally shook his head at the thought. Now as he looked at the girl he realized she was a real looker, quite beautiful but Ohma had his own tastes and while the girl was pretty and curvy she didn't have the qualities physically or mentally he was looking for. Ohma liked punk rock girls, girls who loved to surf and skate, into martial arts and boxing. As his mom put it, Ohma liked strong willed women. He smirked, his mom being Hawaiian was as strong willed as they came.

Yumi quirked her brow with a curious expression, a little surprised that the boy had noticed the waves in the background more so than herself. Still he seemed to ‘identify’ himself pretty quickly as some sort of surfer bro, bringing a giggle from Yumi herself as she shook her head and let out a chuckle laden little sigh. “Geeze. Noticing the water more than me. I definitely gotta work on my craft… then again. I doubt a boy like you was looking for bikinis, so you of all people not ‘admiring the product’ isn’t so big a loss I suppose.” She shrugged casually,. Trying to get a bit of a laugh out of the mildly weird situation, sharing a warm smile with the boy before her and another soft chuckle. “Still, you recognize me so that’s something. And I’m not half naked-“ She began, gesturing over the clothes she was wearing, even if she was wearing very little underneath given she was walking home in the swimsuit she’d taken the shots in. “So at the very least my face musta caught your attention more than the rest of me. Guess I can take that as a compliment.~”
Yumi’s mild curiosity only grew as the nearly, if not already 6 foot something guy before her stated he was going to be joining UA next year. She wondered how that could be possible since they were getting a lot more strict on starting ages since when she joined but… folding her arms she figured she’d just ask. “Sorry how old are you? I heard they were only letting like, 14 year olds and such enrol in the course now. If you don’t mind me saying you easily look like you pass for 16, maybe 17 or 18 even?” She’d ask curiously, quirking her brow. Very easily she could just have the wrong end of the stick but from the fact he stood a little taller than her, if only a little, she could only assume he had to be even close to the same age right?
At the question of her quirk however, she eased up a bit and smiled, pulling her phone out of her pocket and quickly typing up for clips of last year’s sports festival. “Oh my quirk is ‘electro-generator’. My muscles generate huge amounts of electrical energy when I er… flex them right, I guess. I’d show you a little here but it’s nearly uncontrollable without the suit they made for me.~” She’d find a good clip and press play, handing over her phone so he could watch. He’d see a version of her coated head to toe in blue electrical energy flying across a battlefield, fighting another student with blonde hair who seemed to dart up down and all around while firing rocks at her, she herself firing electrical blasts and streams of energy in a rather high level display. “That’s last year’s sports festival, so er… I’ve learned a few tricks since then.~” She’d chime, somewhat proudly.
She’d lean gently against something nearby, just using the nearest semi-tall object to rest her elbow upon, maybe some decorative plant or fountain feature since it was a mall. “How about you, whats your quirk if you’re trying to turn it to hero work?”

Ohma blushed as she asked his age, "Actually I am fourteen, My mom is Hawaiian so I take my size from her side of the family. My uncle is six foot nine. My dad is Japanese and he is only five foot seven." Ohma chuckled as he looked away, scratching his head. His blush deepened when she brought up him recognizing her and bikinis. Ohma liked bikinis, and yeah she had looked awesome in one. But someone in magazines was looking for more than a fourteen year old surfer.
"Well I am good with faces, bad with names though. I rarely forget a face but a name slips right out of my head. Only remember yours cause I looked at the article a lot." He shrugged as if constantly looking at her picture was no big deal instead he focused on listening as she described her quirk. An electric generator, That sounded so cool!!! A real hero's power. He took the offered cell phone and watched the video. "Oh cool, I was in Hawaii when the sports festival happened so I didn't get to see it. But a lot of my class mates here talked about it."
He gave a light smile when she asked what his quirk was. Looking side to side to make sure there was no one looking, he took a stick out of his pocket. "My quirk is Transmutation, the law of equivalent exchange." He said like he was reading from a old script. He closed his hand over the stick and a white line of electricity flowed over his fingers. When he opened his hand the stick had changed to a wooden model of the young lady in front of him.
He held it out to her. "That is my quirk, I can change the terrain around me or single objects. I can't do people though. Strangely I can do other organics like fruit and trees and vegetables and stuff. Just not people. Maybe a animal but I have never tried and really don't want too." He looked away, it was a bit embarrassing especially since he used to be terrified of his own quirk. Afraid of hurting others or causing a accident, thus being taken away. "Yep, my quirk."

“Ooooh. Well my mom’s English if that explains anything about me.~” She smirked, knowing there were some stereotypes about Europeans and Americans in japan in terms of their figure, though that was moreso down to the fact Japanese girls just typically tended to be very petite overall. Still, she didn’t linger on the attempt at a joke, tipping her head to the side. “Are hawaiians usually known for being very tall or… do they get early growth spurts?” She asked, not knowing many stereotypes about the Hawaiian people, but she assumed the former given what he said about his uncle.
“Mmmm. Yeah suddenly not so eager to hear about a 14 year old looking at my bikini shot so much he can’t forget my face.” She teased with a smile, showing him she was really just messing with him, poking at his forehead a little to ‘knock him off balance’ metaphorically, chuckling a little as it probably, or hopefully rather, set in that she was just messing around with him. Honestly even if it was a bit perverse she didn’t exactly mind anyone ‘appreciating’ her looks, no matter how they did so.
When she presented her power, things eased up either way and she was happy to talk about her powers or the school. He even tried to demonstrate his own power, thankfully doing so subtly given how public a place they were in, and leaving Yumi more than a little impressed. “Ooooh! I think I watched an anime with a similar concept once. That’s really cool!~” She chimed, definitely eager to see what such a power could do in the role of a hero. “You should show me more when you enrol. Maybe we can try and match a free period sometime and you can show me what you’re made of when you can actually use it properly?”
(sorry for the wait mate)

Ohma chuckled at the forehead flick and winked in response like he was flirting with her even though he wasn't. "Well not all Hawaiians are tall but a lot of them are. My uncle is six foot five and my cousin is already six foot and he is fifteen. I don't know if it's a stereotype but my moms side of the family seem to be pretty big individuals. My dad however is full Japanese and he is only five foot eight. So, I may get to six feet or I may not depending which one I take after more." He looked back at the model beside him and chuckled at her words about being English. "Well depending on which version you go by you are all super proper or all of you are Professor Moriarty facing off against Sherlock Holmes." He chuckled at the weird stereotypes that were out there that just seemed strange.
"Well, you do look good in the images but my types tend to run a different way. Your beautiful, girly, and have a great bod but the articles of your interests just didn't align with what I look for in a girl. I usually go for skater chicks or girls more into extreme sports like myself." He gave her a big smile to take away the sting, he didn't want to make her feel like he was judging her or anything since he wasn't.
He liked the idea of meeting her in school and doing a little sparring, since he wasn't able to use his quirk in the world except for little tricks he did at home for his mom such as make her trees bloom or repair a dish, it was a fun concept to look forward too. "Yeah, I would like that. I have never really got to let go with my quirk to see what I can really do. With the laws stopping us from using them, and very few places being sanctioned to use your quirks, it makes it difficult to see what I can really do with it. I don't want to break laws like a villain would do and use my quirk whenever. So yeah, once I get into UA and you have a spare minute we can spar and maybe you can give me some ideas with my quirk I hadn't thought of." He smiled, so far he had trouble fitting in and it seemed like he was making a friend and a good one at that. "Hey, can I get your phone number? Not to ask yeh out or anything but in case I have questions about UA or just to stay in touch."

Yumi listened a little to the explanation of his family, definitely surprised to hear someone was 6 foot at only 15. Jesus they probably still had one last growth spurt left in them too. That was something to take in. She rubbed a little at the back of her neck wondering what a pain it must be to buy clothes when you grow so fast and so big, but it wasn’t something to really linger on when it was mentioned that she should be all proper or moriarty level smart, snickering as she gave his shoulder a playful jab. “I more meant the ‘physical’ stereotypes you dork.~” She let out with a cheeky grin, before adding as she rested a hand on her chest. “Besides, I can assure you I’m definitely not all that proper, and I’m sadly FAR from being that smart.~” She let out with a gentle tone, clearly being playful with the self jabs.
As he talked about his type, Yumi could easily admit she didn’t quite fit into that, shrugging idly. “Well I’m certainly energetic but I getcha, I’m definitely not the badass skater chick or anything. Not into many extreme sports either… unless you call beating criminals a sport.” She teased with a smile but clearly just joking as she gave an idle shrug.
As they seemed to talk on a more positive note for both of them though (though honestly its not like it would have been a good thing if she was his type, just… awkward) she nodded along at the idea of seeing eachother and what they could do when he finally got into school. She always liked making new friends and seeing the first years under her the year before his develop, so she didn’t think it would be much different this year either. “Yeah you’ll really be able to let loose once your at UA. My schedules a bit packed so we may need to plan it like, a week ahead or something, but I’d definitely be eager to see what you can do.” She offered her hand. “Yumi Tasukai.” She repeated her name to make sure it was set in his mind. “Just so you remember who to look up when you finally get in.~” She offered a cheeky wink and a brief poke out of her tongue in a playful expression, definitely feeling like the boy before her could be one of the nicer students in the coming year.
