Biography: A large part of his rough and straightforward nature can likely be traced back to his place of birth, none other than New York, New York. For the first five years of his life, while his father worked a high-end position at a tech company out of the Big Apple, Shinjiro was a rough and tumble son of the closest thing America had to Tokyo, A first-generation Japanese-American in a nice, but still tough neighborhood. Standing out a bit with his asiatic heritage and small smatterings of Japanese mixed into his English (Thanks, mom), Shinjiro quickly found himself at the center of scraps that erupted from bullying. And he found that he took to them like a fish to water. Soon garnering a reputation as not one to be trifled with, up til first grade Shinjiro found himself making fast friends.

Then Dad had to move back home, and little Shinjiro was tossed into Tokyo, and the process started anew. Now brash and headstrong, he quickly made a name for himself by habitually standing up to any sort of bullying or injustice he'd seen, eschewing the guiding principle of "mind your own business" for "that shit ain't right, quit bustin' my balls". Soon enough, just as many tried to make a name for themselves off of him (especially after hearing he'd taken up karate to boot) as found themselves defending their egos against his casual lack of taking shit from anyone he disliked.

One tumultuous year later, and our boy'd found himself living in Academy City, having show great potential as a dormant esper. Living on his own for real for the first time, he admittedly found himself lost in the freedom of it all. After a couple years of finding his way, the boy with burning blood now is established and centered, a high schooler at Hybrid Academy, her fiercest fighter and her most stalwart hero!

Personality: Hotblooded, Whimsical, Brave, Blunt

Seemingly at ease with living purely in the now, it can be said that Shinjiro takes each day anew, not being one much for planning or fussing over the details. Fuhgeddaboutit! Each day presents new challenges anyway, so he really should just go with his gut and what feels right to face them! Always willing to throw himself into whatever piques his interest, his excitability and flexibility belie a wicked streak of stubbornness, an indescribable drive to come out on top. This is only pushed to even further heights when you factor in his complete confidence in his abilities, holding self-belief like none other that at times skirts the boundary towards arrogance. Part wannabe hero of justice, part complete smartass, and all unfiltered, what you see is what you get, and he'll never back down on it!

Skills:
Kyokushin Karate! So much so that he joined the boxing club and got shown the door for kicking everyone in the head in the first day of sparring! With time and growing experience with punching faces as well as bodies, it's slowly starting to become Kickboxing!
Talking English! A Citizen of New Yooork~ New Yooooork~ until the age of 5, constant practice by writing and calling old friends from Japan has allowed him to naturally master two languages!
Not studying! Time away from parents in Academy city has made him a masterful procrastinator!

Ability: Whereas most espers externally control the elements, Shinjiro's power comes from within in the form of Burning Blood! Able to naturally control his body temperature by exciting his bloodstream, he uses 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit as a standard, everyday operating setting, but is capable of overclocking it from there! This produces the effect of raising his body temperature to heights of 1000 degrees, hot enough to weaken steel beams on contact!

Special Skills:

Heat Haze! All humans radiate some body heat, and Karasawa has weaponized it! With a combination of heat coming off of him in waves and steam emitting from the same pores that normally would produce sweat, at high body temperatures the air around him seems to thicken, shimmer, and feel oppressively heavy and warm! Can be used to wear enemies down, keep friends warm, or even evade red light cameras by muddling the picture (not yet tested, but in theory possible)!

Burning Charge! With an excited and hot bloodstream running faster than any normal man's oxygen is ferried at a much faster rate to Shinjiro's muscles when he's running hot, providing a boost in endurance and strength!

Disadvantages: At his highest temperatures, Shinjiro's Heat Haze becomes so oppressive and intense that it's both immediately dangerous to most others within short distances (roughly 35 feet), and it begins to hamper his own vision through the sheer thickness of the air around him, as if suddenly giving him nearsightedness. Additionally, his own temperature at a full blast of 1000 degrees often lead to things he touches getting burned of scorched, as he has no way to selectively transfer the energy.

As a result of these factors, he is found running at a nothing higher than a mild fever in his day-to-day life, and must choose the moments when he can turn up the heat carefully based on his surroundings.

Magic: None, 'cause that stuff's weird and he's an esper anyway.

Theme Song(s): Totally this He wishes. These, though.

Extras: Feels little connection to Tokyo, instead preferring to think of it a mid-way point between his two homes of New York and Academy City

Name: Anderson, Jistudan (アンダーソン, お金)
Nickname: Anderson (preferred name), Blackjack
Magic Name: Aurium078, the sun that never sets of the frozen world
Position: Skill-Out (He’s the leader of a gang that isn’t really part of Skill-Out, but this is the closest I could get it)
Seat Number: 7
Nationality: Half American, Half Japanese
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Bloodtype: A-

Biography:
Born to an American gang leader and a Yakuza princess, Anderson’s life has but full of crime and sin since he was born. Raised in Las Vegas for the first half of his life, he has learned how to gamble and cheat like it’s the back of his hand. At the age of eight, his father was killed in a street fight against a rival gang and Anderson was smuggled away to Japan where he was to live with his mother.

Although she is a tough Yakuza princess whose beauty betrays her intentions, she is very motherly towards Anderson and very supportive in his goals. She taught him how to fight and how to shoot a gun amongst other skills like coercion. When Anderson started to build his own criminal empire, his mother granted him a pocket watch that was actually a magical device, making become a magician in a way.

Anderson has recently transferred into Academy City for two reasons: 1)to make money off of the naïve students of the city and 2) to grow his criminal empire. He cannot be touched by Judgement and Anti-Skill after he successfully blackmailed the heads of each organization, much to the annoyance of the law enforcement. Although he is leader of a criminal gang, his actions are fairly tame considering the actions of other gangs, mostly staying in the realm of blackmail, information dealing and fraud.

Personality: While acting antagonistic, Anderson is a good person at heart, always making sure his gang’s member are happy, he does legitimately care for even the people around him as long as they are not openly hostile although he will often cover up his kindness with some dark excuse. He is incredibly charismatic and gladly exploits it to his advantage in gaining people’s trust. He also tends to be secretive, always having an ulterior motive that no one can quite pick out and headstrong/cocky as if he controls the world (which in some aspects he does).

Dislikes:

Skills: Anderson is incredibly intelligent and charismatic and thanks to his informant network, he has dirt on just about everyone. He is well versed in business and manipulation with smuggling an easy task. He is also a surprisingly good shot with a pistol and quite deadly with a knife.

Magic: Time Slow: The power that is embedded in the pocketwatch he got from his mother; the world moves to the beat of Anderson, allowing him to move at normal speed while everything else is slowed, giving the impression he is moving faster. It can only be to slow a maximum of thirty minutes a day and rests at midnight. Dispute its potency, Anderson tends not to use this very often in favor of more traditional “methods”. His left eye also glows red maroon when he uses this ability.

Theme
Nightcore- Centuries

Extras:
- His name in Japanese can either mean "Money" or "Live Ammunition", fitting considering his line of work.
- His weapons of choice are a Beretta Raffica and a butterfly knife with a combat knife-styled blade
- The name of the gang he leads is “Coercion” and it deals in information trading and its large informant network. Anderson claims he has agents everywhere, even in Judgement and Anti-Skill but as no one has proven it. Either that or his agents are really just as good as he claims.
- He is noted to be both an excessive gambler and really lucky, so he wins nearly all his bets.
