Physical DescriptionStanding 172 cm tall and weighing approx 81 kg with a lean muscular build. He's been hitting the gym alot lately getting prepared for the entrance exams. He has a blue skin tone with red strips across random parts of his body. His turbine wrists appear to be metallic in nature.
Quirk TypeMutation
Quirk DescriptionHe calls his quirk Turbine His forearms from elbow to wrist are bulbous and expanded tube like structures that look and act like miniature jet engines, open at the elbow and the wrist, his hand going through it as if he was wearing big metal gauntlets. The blades inside of his forearms spin extremely fast drawing in air on the front and expelling it through the other side. If the blades spin the other way, air is drawn in through the back and expelled through the front. This allows him to create a cyclone suction effect that draws in a vacuum of wind, or he blows air through the front with a powerful air blast whatever he's pointing his arm at. For the suction effect the closer the items are, the stronger the pull is, with the effect wearing off to a slight breeze at about 30 meters. For the air blasting effect effect, he can apply enough force to actually propel himself off the ground and achieve flight for a very limited amount of time (9 seconds of prolonged use) or knock someone off their feet at close range.
He can put his hands together to amplify the effect, but he hasn't figured out how to have one of his jets spin one way, and the other arm to spin the other way. There is also a noticeably slow down, speed up, period, so he cant use suction and then blast instantly. From full suction to full blast, it takes about three seconds.
The quirk requires that both sides of the turbine cylinder be open for air intake and outtake. He also needs to be careful that nothing gets sucked up that can damage the interior blades. Sucking up nails or bolts or bits of metal would not be a good idea. If anything gets clogged in the turbine, it will no longer function, requiring a complicated and lengthy cleaning process. Additionally he needs to eat oily and greasy foods on a daily basis otherwise the turbine begins to lose lubrication and could seize up during use, which is debilitatingly painful, cramping the seized limb which needs time to recover. This also happens when he tries to push things over his limits, like with the six seconds of extended flight. His power quickly dwindles, and if he forces it beyond that point, the blades will seize up just like as if he didn't lubricate them. Obviously, while his forearms are naturally plated for added protection, if anything dents the plates, it's as painful as a natural bone break and will need to heal as normal.
Questions:- Given its reputation, why apply to Kokoro Academy?
Sakimoto sits up straight in his chair for the interview, looking very formal and wanting to make a good impression. "Sir! "Heroism is a family business where I come from. My family have deep ties with the heroing agency there, and there has been a Sakimoto in the Agency since it's founding. My parents, both of them were heroes, and they say I'm destined to follow in their footsteps. Need a license, need to learn, need to show the world what I can do."
- Why do you want to be a professional hero?
"What am I supposed to say here. I want to save everyone. I want to be the best there is. I want to see justice and peace throughout the world. I'm not going to lie to you. All that stuff does sound great but I'm not doing this for idealism, or for my family, or the greater good. I want to be a pro -because I can. I want the notoriety, I want the fame. I want to be the one that people will look to and get inspired. Write books about, put more little dreamers in this chair right where I'm sitting at now, talking about how the I inspired them to push their limits and stand up. Yeah, that sounds pretty sweet. And not going to lie, getting a thank you every now and again from someone is nice too."
- What kind of professional hero do you want to become?
He makes a face, a silly question. "What kind? The best kind of course. Oh wait, you wanted specifics. I want to tackle big problems. Be a real household name. But- I think I'd try to do more with it. Champion a cause. See what the kind of changes I can make. I think I'm more concerned with the right now then the future. Ask me again in three years when I'm a pro."
- Best describe yourself in five sentences.
"Only five huh? Confident, Achieving, the best student in my primary school. I've been training all my life to be the best that I can, so that I could be sitting here one day. I've lived in a hero family, living for a hero name, and personifying the hero ideal. Two more. But I've screwed up before, tried to rush it, and I'm not so proud to realize that I've a long way to go. And so, back on the path, back on the right, and showing what I can do." He thought it sounded cool for a moment before his gaze shifted, maybe it was a little aggrandizing...
- What are you interests and hobbies?
"My family time and schooling kept me busy, but I'm really not much different from anyone else. I see the movies, I read the mangas, I know the memes. I didn't have alot of time to myself with training for days like this or studying so I made sure to blow off steam whenever I can. I guess my favorite hobby, well... it's track actually. Running, it's just soothing. The need for speed I guess."
- Are there any notable accomplishments you want to us to be aware of?
I've been trained by pros. I know the ins and outs of the hero job and lifestyle. Sometimes I'd get to follow with them on patrols after school, and occasionally there'd be a problem. I didn't get involved or anything, I wasn't stupid enough to get the agency in trouble, but sometimes things happened. Back draft from a fire would send a poor old lady out a window, and thank goodness I was there to catch her. Discrete and efficient."
- Tell us something about your quirk that most might not know? Any events or memories, be it joyous or ill, tied to it?
He goes quiet for a moment, thinking. "I- I once tried to fly. I once tried to use my powers to create a super move. rocketing like a jet through the air, fist raised and smashing into a wall, then using my other jet to blast it apart. A real rocket punch! I timed it perfectly. I only managed to do it once, and yeah, got sent to the hospital but... it was one of the greatest feelings of my life. I felt like I could do anything after that." Despite the positive demeanor of his answer, his hands and shoulders noticeably tighten up.
- Why should we consider you over the other applicants? What can you offer that they cannot?
Hiroki gives a smug little grin. "Versatility. Pulling in civilians, blasting away baddies. One day I'll even be able to really fly. Eventually most heroes find their niche, the thing they are best at that uses their quirk to the greatest effect. But the pros, the pros don't niches. They can fight in any situation, save lives no matter the circumstance. How many times has there been a problem where 'heroes' had to wait for the proper backup? Real pros never have that problem. They don't settle. Just like me, I won't settle. When I'm a hero, I'm going pro. Saving lives, catching criminals. Honestly how could you refuse such a promising asset? Gentlemen."
