Starish and Quartet Night as bungo stray dogs’ abilities
A/N: Other than utapri, I am also a huge fan of BSD, and so I thought why not write about the boys having the abilities like the characters in BSD Generally I tried to keep it to classic literature book titles and based their abilities on the title of the book.
I also decided to split the boys into team ADA and port mafia. Not sure if I should put this as my disclaimer but putting a boy in the PM does not necessarily mean he is a ‘bad’ person. My take on the ADA and PM for this scenario is that they fight for different reasons!
All in all, these are just some headcanons I have and may not be 100% accurate to the boys’ personalities or the BSD plot.
Welp, this was a lengthy a/n mainly cause I’m kinda nervous about posting these kind of stuff. But thank you for reading till the end and I hope you like it!
STARISH
Otoya:
Designation: ADA
Ability name: In Search of Lost Time (Marcel Proust)
Ability description: Ability user is able to travel up to 1 hour back into the past. Anyone who is standing within a 5-metre radius of the user will also be affected.
Otoya discovered his ability when his friend nearly cycled into the path of a bus
Otoya looked on in shocked and desperately prayed that he could turn back time, which was what eventually happened and he managed to pull his friend to safety
Unlike the other ADA members who were recruited by Reiji, Otoya volunteered to join the agency at his own will
Otoya is always eager to go on missions, whether he was assigned to it or not. He wants to do whatever he can to help others
He eventually trained his stamina by jogging every morning, as well as took self defence classes
Once in a while, he hangs out with Syo to play soccer (whether a not the both of them decide to use their abilities during a match is up to them)
He looks up to Reiji a lot and is close to Tokiya
Tokiya:
Designation: ADA
Ability name: Persuasion (Jane Austen)
Ability description: Once eye contact has been made, ability user is able to get the victim to reveal whatever secret he desires.
Tokiya stumbled across his ability when he was asking his mum what she got him for his birthday and she told him
She later admitted that she did not have the intention to reveal his gift in the first place
Tokiya initially had mixed feelings about his ability, as he was aware that some people wanted to keep certain thoughts hidden
But he later learnt how to better control his ability, and decided to use it for good
Reiji later recruited Tokiya into the ADA after having a chat with him in a cafe and Tokiya showing interest in helping with the agency
Tokiya has little to no combat skill, but to make up for it, he is extremely intelligent
Before going after an enemy, Tokiya does intense research on the person, sometimes asking Ai for help
He is then able to cause the enemy to go into a panicked state when his deepest, darkest secret is revealed
As much as possible, Tokiya avoids leaving the office and similar to Masato, he spends his free time reading as well as listening to music
Natsuki:
Designation: Port Mafia
Ability name: Lost Illusions (Honore de Balzac)
Ability description: Ability user is able to send victim into a trance-like state, allowing user to brainwash the victim. For the ability to work, eye contact has to be made.
When he was a child, Natsuki was ordering ice cream when the man suddenly looked dizzy and said odd things
His parents later explained to him that it was an ability granted to him
Natsuki didn’t really understand it, but he was careful to not make eye contact with anyone for too long as he was aware that was what set the ability off
Growing up, he learnt how to control it and can now make eye contact with people without his ability setting off
Camus personally recruited Natsuki into the port mafia, recognising the strength of his ability if used well
Despite his tall figure, Natsuki loves cute things and is often seen bringing mini pastries to Camus’ office to eat with him (Camus appreciates that a lot)
During his off days, Natsuki enjoys catching up with his favourite TV show (Piyo chan)
He loves dotting on Syo due to his small size and enjoys putting him in ‘cute clothing’ (despite Syo’s multiple protests)
Masato:
Designation: ADA
Ability name: The Secret Garden (Frances Hodgson Burnett)
Ability description: Ability user is able to transport people to a garden which is inaccessible by outsiders. Only people within a certain radius are affected.
Masa didn't have the brightest childhood, and grew up emotionally broken
He first discovered his ability when he heard his parents fighting outside and he found himself transported to a different room
When he finally came out of his secret room, he realised thst his parents had been searching for him, giving him a greater understanding of his ability
He uses his ability to save others from harm, but occasionally uses it as a retreat when he needs the time and space to think
When Ren comes over to bother find him, they sometimes gather in his secret room, away from the public eye
Masato learned how to fight with the katana to make up for his ability which lacks combat
He prefers office work and spends most of his free time reading
Ren:
Designation: Port Mafia
Ability name: Perfume (Patrick Suskind)
Ability description: Ability user is able to track down a person with his scent. For ability to work, a piece of clothing must be given to the user.
Ren discovered his ability when he was trying to return a lost handkerchief to a stranger who dropped it in a crowd
He took a whiff of it and immediately saw the location of the owner as well as the path he took
He was recruited into the port mafia by Natsuki when he stumbled upon him carrying out a mission
During his off days, Ren enjoys playing darts in an underground pub
He also enjoys looking for Masato from the ADA to hang out with him (also Masa might beg to differ)
What he lacks in combat, he makes up for with his ability, tracking down multiple criminals and targets with ease
Ren is a sweet talker, and is easily able to convince target women to pass him their scarf/handkerchief for his team to track them down later
He is often seen working with Syo, who helps with the combat side of missions
Syo:
Designation: Port Mafia
Ability name: Fires on the Plain (Ooka Shohei)
Ability description: Ability user is able to use fire. He can also control the intensity, and how far it can spread.
Syo first discovered his ability when he was in a heated argument with a friend and accidentally set a portion of grass on fire
He then trained himself to be careful and to learn how to control his ability
Ren was the one who convinced Syo to join the port mafia, telling him that his ability would be well respected in the agency (he was right)
Syo quickly rose up the ranks in the port mafia, and is often tasked with leading missions
Syo is a very smart ability user, and knows when to use his ability to just threaten someone and when to use it to hurt someone
During his off days, he is often playing soccer with Otoya. Although he says that no abilities should be used, he sometimes uses his ability to trap Otoya within a certain space while he scores a goal
Syo admires Natsuki’s ability a lot, and enjoys working with him (although he will never admit it)
Cecil:
Designation: ADA
Ability name: The Call of the Wild (Jack London)
Ability description: Ability user is able to freely transform into a wolf on command. This ability is highly suited for combat
Cecil’s parents were the first to discover his ability when they went to wake Cecil up one morning but discovered a wolf lying in his place instead
They initially panicked but upon hearing the wolf mumbling, they realised it was just their son
Cecil was recruited by Reiji when he turned into a wolf to help sniff out for survivors in a snowstorm
Realising that they’re abilities worked well together, the both of them worked as a team a lot
Cecil is often seen training his stamina so that he could keep up with his wolf abilities
While he usually has a calm and happy personality, Cecil can become extremely violent when angry and has little control over his emotions
During off days, Cecil likes to take shelter in a high tree to read his book or listen to music
Cecil doesn’t like doing paperwork and is often seen asking Tokiya or Masato to help him (which they reluctantly agree to because Cecil is very cute)
QUARTET NIGHT
Reiji:
Designation: ADA (leader)
Ability name: Snow Country (Yasunari Kawabata)
Ability description: Ability user is able to control snow over a certain radius. Depending on the user, light snow or a snowstorm can be summoned.
Reiji discovered his ability when he was a child and was upset that it wasn't snowing for Christmas
He ended up summoning a light snow over his house
He founded the ADA in hopes of using his ability to help others
On off duty days, Reiji uses his ability during winter festivals to make children happy by sending down snow to help them build snowman or take part in snowball fights
Reiji is not too fond of using his ability to hurt others. However if the situation calls for it, he will.
Depending on the severity of the situation, Reiji can either send heavy snow to scare the villain off or unleash a deadly snowstorm to directly hurt the villain.
The only scenario where Reiji casts a deadly storm is usually when someone he loves gets hurt.
He is often seen working with Cecil as their abilities work well together
Reiji often uses his ability to trap the villain within a certain area, while Cecil swoops in to hold the villain down
Ranmaru:
Designation: Port Mafia (but is kind of a lone wolf)
Ability name: In Cold Blood (Truman Capote)
Ability description: Ability user is able to leave no trace of crime committed. All evidence is wiped clean once the user leaves the crime scene.
However, much is still unknown about this ability.
Ranmaru first discovered his ability when he devised a detailed plan to kill his friend’s stalker
When he was about to wipe off the blood on his knife, he realised it had already disappeared
He honestly did not know what to feel about his ability. He didn't exactly despise murder, but knowing that the cases remained unsolved bothered hims slightly
The only things he know about his ability is the fact that all evidence will be erased the moment he leaves the crime scene
But there is said to be more to his ability than that
He was recruited into the port mafia by Camus but with the condition that he was allowed to work alone
As he spends most of his time in his apartment, he isn't close to anyone
Ai:
Designation: ADA
Ability name: Masks (Fumiko Enchi)
Ability description: Ability user is able to take the form of someone else. However, for this ability to work, the user needs to recognise the exact shape and form of the victim in detail.
Being a droid, Ai was programmed with the knowledge that his ability exists
His first experience with his ability was when he was people watching and accidentally morphed into a stranger he was looking at
Ai’s constant curiosity has allowed him to easily memorise the faces of others, as well as their physique
Because of that, he is a complete pro in using his ability
He was also programmed to distinguish between the right and wrongs of the world
He is fully aware of the capability his ability has to engage in wrong doings
Despite so, he chooses to only use his ability to do good
He's not a fan of fighting and prefers to write up reports and conduct interrogations in the office
He is close with Tokiya and is often seen hanging out with him
Camus:
Designation: Port Mafia (leader)
Ability name: Phoenix (Osamu Tezuka)
Ability description: Ability user possess phoenix abilities to a certain extent, the most notable one being able to heal mortal wounds and revive selected people from the dead.
Camus discovered his ability when he had a injury from horse riding and ended up healing himself when he hovered his hand over the sprain
He joined the port mafia as a low rank employee, but quickly worked his way up to the top due to his ability, eventually taking over the organisation
Most of the time, he is inside his office (drinking tea) while watching over the city
He has a decent combat ability, but prefers to leave the fighting to his underlings as he felt that it was not 'royal' of him to engage in such things
One of his known skills is the ability to revive the dead, but for this to work, the person needs to be dead for less than an hour
Camus barely uses this ability as he believes that death is inevitable, but if someone in the port mafia (or ADA because he lowkey loves them) is dead, he will not hesitate to bring them back to life
He is someone who likes working alone and is not particularly close to anyone in the organisation
