Booting up Jaku General Hospital Paediatrics Clinic Registry…

Registry ID #4718975
Patient name: Midoriya Izuku, age 4
Visitation date: Sunday 17-01-2230
Priority: Low priority
Visitation reason: Quirk manifestation
Notes:
Patient was brought to the clinic after a standard quirk manifestation. Standard blood tests and foot X-rays affirm the presence of a quirk. Of note is that the patient is a slight late bloomer, their quirk manifesting over half a year late. Much more intriguing however is that the patient’s quirk gene has a perfect 100% match with their mother’s. Even perfect one-to-one quirk inheritance shows some degree of mutation in the DNA sequence, though not to the point of altered function, see registry ID #3957471 Togata, M.
Recommended course of action: provide standard quirk counselling.
Addendum: Quirk Registry file:
Name: Midoriya Izuku, age 4
Submission date: Monday 18-01-2230
Quirk: Minor Attraction (focus/miscellaneous activation; kinesis type)
Description: User can attract small objects within range to their hands by repeatedly making grabbing motions with their hand. Size limit is around the size of a standard football and the range is about 20 meters.

Registry ID #4720045
Patient name: Midoriya Izuku, age 5
Visitation date: Friday 27-08-2230
Priority: Medium priority
Visitation reason: Quirk mutation
Notes:
Patient was brought to the clinic after their quirk spontaneously mutated during kindergarten recess, resulting in the injury of one of the patient’s friends, currently admitted to the polyclinic for 3rd degree burns, see registry ID #4720102 Bakugou, K. The patient’s quirk was originally thought to be a one-to-one inheritance of their mother’s quirk, however, their quirk further manifested to include the father's quirk. Dual quirks are rare but not unheard of, a dual quirk manifesting separately with a lag period of half a year is not. Blood tests show that the previously undiscovered section of the quirk gene again has a 100% match with the corresponding parent quirk gene. How a good portion of the patient’s quirk gene was missed during prior tests is unknown and should be further investigated.
Recommended course of action: provide further standard quirk counselling, schedule regular monthly follow-up visitations for blood tests to monitor for any further mutations or other irregularities.
Addendum: Quirk Registry File [Updated]:
Name: Midoriya Izuku, age 5
Submission date: Monday 18-01-2230
Update date: Monday 30-08-2230
Quirk: Minor Attraction + Fire Breath (focus/miscellaneous activation; kinesis, generation/elemental type)
Description: Dual quirk. User can attract small objects within range to their hands by repeatedly making grabbing motions with their hand. Size limit is around the size of a standard football and the range is about 20 meters. User’s lungs also generate a combustible gas that can be ignited through a special organ near the roof of the mouth. Fire can reach regular temperatures for fires, overuse can result in smoke filling the lungs. Additionally, user's oral cavity and lips are heat resistant.

Patient name: Midoriya Izuku, age 5
Visitation dates: Friday 24-09-2230 through Friday 24-12-2230
Priority: Medium priority
Visitation reason: Regular quirk monitoring
Logs:
Friday 24-09-2230: Patient has shown no further mutations or otherwise irregular behaviour. Blood tests have not yet shown how half of the patient’s quirk gene was missed during their first visit. Full genome sequencing should commence within the week.
Friday 26-11-2230: Results of the genome sequencing have arrived two days ago. Results were originally discarded due to the sequenced genome being shorter than the genome found in the most recent blood tests. Upon closer inspection the DNA sequence appears to be exactly the same, barring a portion of DNA that was originally assumed to be part of a junk DNA section that’s often seen neighbouring the quirk gene, which seems to have grown in length between the time the DNA was sampled for sequencing and the most recent blood tests.
Friday 24-12-2230: [Note: Only one qualified doctor was available on site for taking and processing the blood tests due to it being Christmas Eve] The previously assumed junk DNA section has expanded once again. At first glance the section seemed to be highly mutative but on further scrutiny it appears that several portions are perfectly preserved from the same section present in the original blood tests, being interspersed with new sequences. As a final effort to try and understand this enigma the portions that weren’t present in the original blood tests will be digitally brought together and compared to all available genomes in the patient’s family. This process will likely take a large amount of time.

Registry ID: #4723010 [Draft]
Patient name: Midoriya Izuku, age 5
Visitation date: Friday 25-02-2231
Priority: High priority
Visitation reason: Regular quirk monitoring
Log:
It’s remarkable, the matching results have finally arrived and the DNA fragments are shown to be part of the patient’s maternal grandmother’s quirk gene. The additional DNA fragments created during the past two months seem to match perfectly with sections of the maternal grandmother’s quirk gene as well. I can only come to one conclusion, the patient’s quirk isn’t the currently registered one at all. In fact, the originally assumed junk DNA is the patient’s actual quirk, which presumably activated around the normal manifestation timeframe. This quirk gene has somehow figured out how to perfectly reverse engineer itself to recreate the quirk genes of its own parent quirks, even where the child's quirk is an anomaly, suggesting that this process can be applied to all other types of quirk inheritance. Most excitingly, the quirk does not seem to stop at recreating its own parent quirks, but has started recreating the parent quirks of the patient’s mother’s quirk. It can be assumed that this will go back until the era where quirks were coming into existence. For the patient, who is a 5th generation quirk user, this means they can potentially have access to a maximum of 30 different quirks, given there are no quirkless ancestors in their heritage. Furthermore, anomalies arise due to the recombinant DNA being extremely malleable, which is normally the result of a wide variety of quirk types in the individual’s ancestry. A search through the patient’s ancestry shows that this is definitely the case for the patient. Comparing the current quirk fragments with that of the patient’s maternal grandmother’s quirk indicates that there is an estimated 6 months left before completion of the current reconstruction cycle. I wonder what would happen if a foreign quirk gene is inserted into the patient's quirk gene.
Recommended course of action: remove the patient’s latest registry files and notify supervisor of these recent developments.

Quirk: Heritage (passive/connection; meta/stockpile type)
Description: This quirk passively reconstructs parent quirks with the DNA sequence of the corresponding child quirk, including itself. Heritage appears to work its way back through the generations, reconstructing the parent quirks one child quirk at a time, presumably starting at the side with the most maternal bloodline and working its way to the most paternal bloodline before moving on to the next generation. Heritage also grants the ability to wield said quirks with no apparent additional physical or mental drawbacks beyond the quirks’ own drawbacks. The reconstruction of one parent quirk from a child quirk seems to currently take between half a year and a full year, most likely dependant on either the complexity of the parent quirk or on how much of the parent quirk’s DNA is present in the child quirk gene. Quirk enhancing drugs might shorten this timeframe.
