I swear, despite her goofy looks, she's also the most popular character in terms of Fanservicey pics of the series. Mostly it seemed a bit convoluted and hard to really stat out or make work with the existing mechanics so I went with Reaction move object, so the object just moves as a reaction to someone else interacting with it including the person affected. Also Herolab doesn't play nice and screams at you if you put that on a power that isn't Personal Range. Soon after that she proves that true since she very nearly beats the guy by outplanning him but only fails because she ended up taking too much damage setting it up.Īs for the Move Object, I didn't think Affects Others would be a good fit since that's generally giving another person the power to make others weightless instead of just pushing the weightless guy around. One of the best being her fight with Bakugo where he seems to be wrecking her shit despite her getting back up to keep fighting, and when the crowd starts booing him the announcer tells them to STFU since Ochako can quit anytime she wants and Bakugo holding back would be insulting to her resolve and ability since it would mean he didn't see her as a threat. She can generally hold her own, contributes regularly, and gets several moments early on and later in the series where she does show she has the resolve and ability to stand with the powerhouses of her group. But she also avoids the usual designated love interest trap hole of being a useless damsel in distress or background love interest that most shounen and even western comics seem to default the main female characters to. She does have the more superficial cute and kind girl thing going for her and the slightly deeper quirks of her personality like her down to earth nature and odd sense of humor. Ochako is one of the rare cases where even people who don't agree that she's best girl can still agree that she's a contender. I guess that's not QUITE a rules-legal depiction of how that Extra works, but I'd allow it as a GM. The "Uses Gravity to Give Impressions of Super-Strength" thing is a fun effect, though it could "Affects Others" if other characters have been shown moving stuff that she moved. I like the notion of "taking a weird power and running with it"- it shows more cleverness than the usual American comic book thing of "give them a standard-issue power, or the Full Strength Package". Yeah, this seems like a great case for "Best Girl"- not too feminine to freak out the little boys reading, not too fanservicey to turn girls off the character (or be the puerile "Fap Bait" one- a usually-common role in shonen), and she seems like a nice, friendly character from what you've said here.
