Name: Tachibana Hanataro

Age: 17
 
Gender: Male

Appearance:[url=http://www.zerochan.net/804386] the babyface president of the gardening club [/url]

Personality: Despite his harmless and cheerful appearance Hanataro will go to any lengths to protect the gardening club and its' gardens, a territory over which he demands supreme authority. He's loud, brash and a master of violent intimidation even when interacting with the Student Council, with little actual use for school except as a place to run his gardens. This is all because he's only really able to feel at peace around flowers and plants and considers most people 'bothersome'. When tending to his gardens he acts just as cheery and lighthearted as his appearance would lead one to suspect. The main exceptions to his dislike of people are the members of the Gardening Club, as Hanataro generally treats them like close family and protects and cares for them with utmost devotion as they're helping him realize his dream of making the school 'A Beaut'ful, relaxin' place where flowers bloom everywhere.' He also has a soft spot for those who are needlessly bullied by people, and considers bullies 'weeds' that need to be plucked. All in all though, despite his official title being 'President of the Gardening Club' he runs things more like the boss of a bunch of high school delinquents, albeit delinquents with the goal of planting beautiful flowers for people to enjoy and keeping the school free of bullies by being bigger bullies themselves.

Backstory: Hanataro always used to feel too shy to interact with people as a child, preferring the solitude, freedom and beauty he found among flowers and plants. When he found that this often lead to bullying, Hanataro decided on an unusual response. Namely he decided that if people were going to bully him, he would just become even stronger than them. Thus he trained every day to become as scarily strong as he possibly could and transformed his quiet and shy nature into an outward mask of a broodingly angry thug. He found that he liked fighting almost as much as he liked gardening and took to it with relish whenever he saw someone being bullied. That didn't change his overall desire to have a place where he felt at peace though, so once he reached Highschool he decided that he would make the gardening club the most powerful organization around, in order to make everything a relaxing place filled with flowers where gentle people like he used to be could relax without fear.

Skills: In addition to being an excellent gardener Hanataro is extremely good at fighting, with surprising strength for a Highschooler and an almost superhuman ability to take a beating. Other than that he has few skills, although he enjoys cooking immensely.

Alter Ego:

Name: Steel Petal Inferno

Gender: Male 

Appearance: [url=http://www.zerochan.net/694979]Just another day in the life of Steel Petal Inferno[/url]

Personality: Steel Petal Inferno mostly just wants to be free, relax and wander around enjoying life. The only thing he enjoys other than his relaxing lifestyle is a good fight. This extends not just to good fights for himself, but also for everyone else, and he'll willingly jump in to assist if he thinks a fight isn't fair, but could just as easily fight someone just for the heck of it if he thinks they are interesting or strong enough. He also refuses to fight anyone too weak as it would be neither interesting nor fair, unless of course they're trying to restrain his freedom.

Weapon(s): Legion Planter, a watering can. It is extremely durable even for an Alter Ego's weapon and to that end Steel Petal Inferno normally uses it solely as a bludgeoning weapon combined with his massive strength. It actually has a special ability, in that whenever he wills it Steel Petal Inferno can pour gang members out of its' spout that he can control. The gang members each have a leaf sticking out of their heads like a plant sprout and can just be re-created if destroyed with no ill effects, but Steel Petal Inferno dislikes using his weapon's power because 'A real man fights his battles alone'. When he does use it, he tends to use the gang-sprouts as props and improvised weapons during fights rather than having them fight for him as doing otherwise would be 'cowardly'.

Abilities: Steel Phoenix Inferno's most notable ability is his ridiculous strength, far above even a typical Alter Ego's. Also while his regenerative abilities are actually much worse than average, he's capable of taking a lot of punishment without stopping, mostly due to sheer will.
