Trying to spread some positivity in the OC community today, so: tell me ten random facts about Mira! Whatever fun little tidits you can think of, tell us about them!! <3
Oh yass, thank you for dropping this in my ask - I am so sorry that it took me 84 years to reply^^' 🥰
1. Mira's mum died a few days after giving birth to her daughter. It wasn't the easiest of births and by the time they finally made it to port there wasn't anything to be done for her anymore.
2. Her father never once considered letting Mira grow up anywhere other than on board the Oro Jackson, he even took a wet nurse on board to make sure she was cared for in the best possible way.
3. Roger found Shanks (and Buggy) shortly after learning that he was gonna be a father and all possible canon plot relations aside also loved the idea of his "little mate" growing up with friends "his own age" on board. Oh well... xD
4. Mira gets abducted when she is around 13-14 while she's on a secret unsupervised night out with Shanks and Buggy. Sick and tired of the whole crew watching her like hawks and treating her like some kind of precious cargo, she talked the boys into this. The guilt they carry over this - and the constant cycle of blaming each other for it - puts a strain on their friendship that might have ended up completely destroying it had Mira not returned.
5. The Mystical Zoan fruit wasn't actually part of the original plan Cipherpol had for Mira. It was only over the course of her imprisonment and (vaguely Red Room-esque) torture/training that someone thought it would add an excellent touch to what they were trying to turn her into.
6. She very probably inherited her father's Haki powers, but so far the combination with her devil fruit makes it so that they present in very distinctive ways (for example, the way her siren voice will make people bend to her will could be seen as being directly related to Haoshoku Haki).
7. Mira's mermaid scales are a mix of different shades of sea green and gold and her eyes take on a gold hue when she's using her power. She choses not to alter her appearance in her day to day life, but one thing she wasn't able to "turn off" ever since she came back is an iridescent sheen where the light hits her skin, which mimicks the sea green and gold hues of her scales.
8. Due to her devil fruit's paradox nature Mira would still drown in the ocean - honorig the more supersticious approach of the ocean rejecting those who ate a devil fruit - but in bodies of fresh water she can actually transform into full mermaid form, including gills to breathe underwater. (She hardly ever does this, as the full transformation is such a rush that she fears it might become addictive. It is however a sight to behold and when Shanks finally sees her like this, he understands why the sailors from the tales he grew up on would go to their certain deaths for a creature like this.)
9. I am still not 100% over the idea of a form of mermaid-y mating bond between her and Shanks, just because the obsessive, soulmatey, feral aspect of it makes me go... well, feral. I am however still not sure how I would wanna go about it, because a) she is not an actual mermaid and b) I am putting them through The Horrors™️ and those include a fecking long time of involuntary separation, which in like 97% of mating bond scenarios would mean near certain death where I just want maximum sadness ^^' (if you have ideas / suggestions feel free to hit me up, this is definitely not my usual trope and I have little to no idea what I am doing xD)
10. Mira gets Mihawk to take her to Shanks when their daughter goes missing.
BONUS - I am full on determined to make the timeline my bitch. I want Mira and Shanks to be older than they'd be in canon when Roger dies, but I also want their daughter to be around 18yrs old when she meets the straw hats. Yes, it doesn’t add up with the canon timeline and I am making a hellish effort to ignore this even though it kills me not to obsess over every little detail until it squashes all my passion 😬

Gale’s Top 10: Anime abilities/powers/ Techniques I want in real life
Rules.
1. It has to be from an anime. It can’t be from a manga with no anime adaption. If the manga has an anime adaptation BUT hasn’t gotten to that part where the power has been animated. It doesn’t count. Video games count as long as they have an anime adaption/counterpart
2. I will be give access to everything needed to make the technique/power/ability to work. Example: If I need Ki to do a technique, I will have enough to use it.
3. One per anime.
4. I will try to change up the abilities but there may be some similarities.
_________________________________________________________
10. Zoom (Dragonquest: The adventure’s of Dai)
Now for the uninitiated with Dragon quest and this anime, you might be thinking. What the f*** is zoom?
Well it’s basically the fusion of Flight and teleportation.
Using magic the user can picture a place in their mind, and if there isn’t some sort of magic barrier preventing them from leaving, or a roof. They can ‘Zoom’ / Teleport there almost instantly.
There is a variant of it called Telezoom, allowing the user to basically fly around. I love the ability because it makes it so I don’t have to choose between flight or teleportation. I can choose both. As long as I focus I can use it, also it takes very little magic to use (in the games it’s zero, but in the anime it’s a bit). It’s basically the near perfect spell. But the only downside is I can’t be indoors to use the teleport part. But I can still fly.
9. Koro’s Super speed (Assassination Classroom)
Yes there are other characters that are faster. Mach 20 doesn’t even seem that fast in terms of speed.
But I specifically said Koro’s sensei’s speed for 1 purpose. His speed isn’t just foot speed. It’s reaction speed, flight speed, even cognitive speed. He’s able to read, write, process, craft and move at Mach 20 to put it into perspective. 20x the speed of sound. That’s 15,345.4 miles per hour. 22,506.6 feet per second. Basically 4 miles in a second.
He’s so fast he can create after images of himself without issue. Plus if I have his speed, while I won’t have his tentacles, I will have rather dexterous hands and feet. I can travel to Japan in a half hour.
So yea, that reflex speed and cognitive speed would be amazing.
8. Conqueror’s Haki (One Piece)
Now you’re probably thinking, WHY this Haki? Why not observation Haki? Or why not a devil fruit that’s OP. Well my inquisitive individual. Allow me to explain
Conqueror’s Haki or Haoshoku Haki is a rare form of Haki that lets the user Exert their will power as a weapon. Just having it means you are incredible leader and harbor a grand ambition. It’s not something that is given.
But let’s start with the basics, the most basic form can cause a pulse of will power that can knock out anyone with a lesser will. Which is pretty dope. And it won’t hurt anyone you consider an ally.
Conqueror’s Haki can be so strong it can destroy buildings, crush ships, obliterate Islands just from clashes of Conqueror’s Haki can cause the sky to split. It can even be shot miles away at a target if you know they are there. As a way to scare them
What’s more, users of this brand of Haki can coat their bodies like armorment Haki making physical attacks stronger, bodies more durable. It also increases your mental resistances. You can also block people from trying to predict the future with Haki.
Main reason I want it, is because it’s badass.
7. Shadow Clone Jutsu (Naruto)
The best jutsu to have in real life. Letting the user make copies of himself. Sure, Teleportation and Flight are cool. Sure super speed can make is appear as if you are everywhere at once, but clones with your mental acuity and can act on your will are the best. It is better than others because you don’t need to worry about them being turned against you, and one hit can make em poof.
But the main thing with shadow clones is that you can use them to learn something. You just need to poof them after and ALL the experience they gained is yours. It’s super overpowered.
I would have loved this power in college. Take a 5 classes at the same time slot and have copies in each.
I won’t even need 1000’s of clones. Just 5 would be perfect. Heck even making one is fine.
6. Eyes of the Lord (Record of Ragnarok)
Imagine you watch someone do a cool trick on a skateboard and think “Wow that’s cool wish I could do that.”
Now imagine you went over, took the skateboard and performed that exact same trick EXACTLY as that person did.
That’s the power of the Eyes of the Lord.
Taking humans ability to take something and copy it perfectly.
Now I know what you’re thinking? “Why not SHARIGAN ? You can do that and more!” Well to you I say. Watch more anime beside Naruto. Because this ability is so much more than that.
These eyes are so capable, they can process stuff that happen INSTANTANEOUSLY, and your body reacts just as quickly.
Zeus used an attack that was said to be instant, and Adam not only reacted to it, he copied it and used it against him BEFORE he even finished the attack!
Now it’s said it doesn’t just copy techniques, but skills as well.
I can watch someone draw and be able to draw at that level. I could see someone program a complex algorithm and be able to type it up easily and even figure out before he finishes what it’s output would be.
This power is the ultimate copy cat power. Any skill, any technique, anything I see, I will be able to replicate it. Even if it seems physically impossible for me to do.
Now there is a downside, overuse would take a toll on the user, but at the same time… I won’t be using it to such extremes that Adam did. So I will be fine.
5. Rewind (my hero academia)
Is this the most overpowered quirk in the series? No, but it’s up there.
Eri’s power can revert anything biological to a previous state.
You could theoretically rewind someone to non-existence. But that’s not the reason I would want it.
My main reason is theoretical immortality.
So long as I’m alive I can use the quirk, and as long as the thing is alive, I can impact it.
Imagine someone you know gets cancer. One use of the quirk and suddenly they no longer have cancer and are as strong as they were at their peak. Broken leg, instant fix to before it broke. Bullet wound? How about we rewind to before you got shot. And the best part is it stays that way.
The only downside is that Eri is young and can’t control the quirk well. I’d hone it to perfection. I would be able to stay in my physical prime until I got bored. And not just me. Anyone I care about. It’s just that easy.
4. Heaven’s Door (Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure)
Let me introduce to you the most broken stand in all of Jojo’s.
Yes, even more broken then Gold experience Requiem or Wonder of U. Or even Made in Heaven.
I say this because this stand could make you IMMUNE to them.
How? Simply use the ability to write in yourself that you are immune, or get the user at the jump to tell them their ability can’t target them. Now the only argument is that requiem could reverse it but my theory is that the requiem only works to give an ability the user needs at the time. But that’s speculation.
ANYWAY, even if it wasn’t as good, it is still the best ability. Mind wipe, hypnotic suggestions positive and negative. You can write that you speak Italian and BAM! You speak Italian. The only reason it’s not seen as broken is because Rohan doesn’t use it right. You can remove or read memories. It even works on ghosts.
It is the best self improvement tool. And it can help others too.
3. Spiral Power (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)
Row Row Fight the Power!
The most OP energy power in anime.
Allow me to explain,
The only thing the user needs is Double helix DNA, and they can access spiral power.
To put it simply, Spiral power is Evolution.
Spiral Power has both infinite potential and applications - it has been known to regenerate and grow new parts on machines to a universal and multiversal scale, and even create tunnels through space-time.
Spiral power even allows for Physical growth and improvement. Showing intellectual growth, and showing how in seven years the human race went from cave dwellers to capable of space travel. Plus lordgenome was able to live for 1000+ years after discovering its power and was able to FIGHT a mech in his human form! He said his robot was holding him back so catch these hands
Spiral power is shown to be strong enough to REVIVE the dead! Kamina was resurrected using it briefly. But it’s only Simon and Leeron that reject it as bringing back the dead would only stop things moving forward.
Spiral power allowed a mole rat to evolve into a human. Spiral power allowed the group to fight a GALAXY SIZED evil being that was so strong he could manipulate all the energy of their universe to fight against them.
Spiral powers only downside is that apparently there is something called the spiral nemesis. Which is said to be the apocalypse because apparently too much spiral power is a bad thing. But I call bs. Besides if it existed IRL our society would be a type 4 civilization in a matter of years. (Look it up if you don’t know what that means)
I guess another downside is you have to constantly push logic to the curve to do the impossible. But I can live with that
2. All Fiction (Medaka Box)
Allow me to introduce to you, the most broken ability in all of Anime. Kumagawa Misogi’s (ALL FICTION)
Now what does this ability do?
It allows you to make something into nothing.
What does that mean?
Let’s say you shot me in the heart. Killing me. I decided nope, that didn’t happen. And I get right back up, no bullet in my chest. And you are standing there wondering Wtf just happened.
But that’s not all. Let’s say I got sick of the color blue. I can just decide Blue doesn’t exist anymore. Done. It’s over. All things that are blue changed color to reflect the fact blue doesn’t exist.
I can erase anything I want. I could erase people from existence, I could erase time. Allowing me to move instantly.
But to put it simply, it’s a minus ability that allows the user to reject reality.
The only reason the guy using it isn’t an overpowered king of everything is because he is in his own words “AN INFINITE LOSER”
The biggest downside is that All fiction, once something is erased, it can’t be brought back unless the user has another skill to counter the effect. And that’s the only reason I can’t put this at number 1. If I had the combination of All fiction and Non fiction. It would be nearly perfect.
1. Magic Materialization feat Namekian Dragon clan (Dragonball Z)
I know what you’re all thinking. Why this power? You had reality manipulating powers? You had teleportation? Why would you pick something so mundane?
Well I direct you to the (Feat Namekian Dragon clan)
Nameks can use magic to create anything they imagine. Including Dragonballs. While it says they need to be dragon clan. Id say that’s an easy pick.
I can create dragon balls, and then use the dragon balls however I please. I could wish to be stronger. I could wish for the powers of previous abilities listed. I can upgrade my dragon just by adding water.
The Namekian dragon balls have no limit on resurrections and amount of people by end of Z. In the manga they’ve even been show to grant the user the power to be the strongest in the universe!
Basically the power to wish for nearly anything. Easy number 1
