Yoshida, Shinji

Male

Fourteen - August 3rd

Japanese

Height: 5'5"

Weight: 126 lbs

Fashion Sense: Aside from leaning towards bright colors, Shinji has no other particular preference in the clothes he wears.

Distinguishing Features: If his adorable unkempt blond hair and soft olive green eyes aren’t distinguishing, I’d say it would have to be his smile; it’s not amazing, but despite the situation, it’s always there. Even when he sleeps, so its kind of weird too.

At first glance, most would notice Shinji's cheerful, carefree, and fun-loving nature. He is approachable to many and exudes a vibe of confidence and lightheartedness even in most situations. Although practical and leery, Shinji enjoys a good challenge and usually turns to his patience and craftiness to overcome hurdles thrown at him. When he can, he is both playful and stubborn, either way, he's usually difficult to deal with.

Based on the Myers and Briggs Personality Test, he'd be considered an ESTJ-A.

Shinji was born fifth into a family of five with his parents and older brothers being quirkless. His parents were both physicians, with his father - Shoji - being more focused on medical research revolving around the quirk factor, and his mother - Shuna - a physiatrist that specialized in quirk rehabilitation. Given their parents' profession, Shinji's brothers aimed to follow in their footsteps with his eldest brother - Shiro - being a medical student in his third year, and his other brother - Shingo - a university student finishing his degree in pharmacy, who was hoping to enter medical school in the next two years. Shinji was expected to do the same, but unfortunately for his family, he was different. Aside from having persistently rejecting the idea of becoming a doctor, Shinji had a quirk. At the age of four, while indulging in some afternoon playtime with Chunchunmaru, a neighborhood friend, what was supposed to be a simple fist bump to greet his buddy, turned into quite the predicament. Obnoxious screams filled with panic and a face full of tears and snot plagued the young neighborhood boy’s face as his right hand up to his elbow was covered in a thick layer of frigid ice. Aunties and housewives from all around appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the stunned Shinji and the poor Chunchunmaru. While the useful ones tried to help the victimized youngster, the rest began gossiping and whispered snide remarks while pointing and staring at Shinji. What was a clueless and confused boy to do in such a situation? Well, as expected, he ran home in tears. With the relative influence his family possessed, preventing the incident from worsening was easy enough. That day, Shinji learned a valuable lesson, a single fuck up was all it took to change a person. He decided to never fully trust others again and understood the importance of being cautious. Where these thoughts came from, it was unsure, but what would one expect from a stupid impressionable child? One thing was obvious though, no one in his family guided him after what had happened. As the years passed, after learning how to control his quirk, Shinji never really found the need to use it anymore since he eventually accepted his parents’ plan. He grouped up with the normies and continued his life as such. However, during his final year in middle school, when asked what their plans were when they graduated, three out of his twenty-four classmates said that they wanted to be heroes. Despite the judgmental and snarky comments, Shinji followed them and proclaimed his ambition of becoming a professional hero as well. His way of thinking was still kind of weird, but his determination and passion to become a professional hero was present once again. Now, he had a year to prepare for the U.A. Heroics Course.

Frozen Shoulder: Shinji can freeze objects with his punches. When he whiffs a punch, a cool breeze is released from his fist.

Likes: Shinji enjoys trivia and healthy arguments. Challenges and casual conversation are cool to. He always welcomes both new faces and experiences. He isn’t what you’d call outright competitive, but he does like winning, but also losing as well. Along with his preference for bright colors, he’s a fan of minimalism and often keeps things tidy.

Dislikes: Shinji dislikes long periods of unnecessary silence or inactivity. He not fond of those who do not think before they act and those who do not weigh the pros and cons of situations. If not affected, he cares little for the decisions made by others, he just prefers that they have reason behind their actions. He tries to avoid impracticality and when in groups, he finds the lack of leadership quite annoying.

Fears: At present, what Shinji dreads the most is absolute peace. This does not mean he supports crime and chaos; he just believes that it adds some spice and excitement to life. Of course, he doesn’t say it out loud though.

Legal Name- Kemonohito, Yaseishi
Hero Name- (The) Hunter
Nicname(s)- Ya

Female

16 - Birthdate 6, June

Height: 5'5"
Weight: ~145
Fashion Sense:Neutral clothes, long sleeves, flowy open over-shirts with loose shirts underneath, baggy pants, thick belts or hip-scarves, various masks, and bones.
Distinguishing Features: Aside from the mane of green hair, the black sclera and yellow eyes come to mind.
Voice Quality: Lilting, mildly smokey,

Ya is critical, antisocial, mildly misanthropic, and doesn't seem to give a damn about anything. A sarcastic street brawler, this kid only seems to take only self-found answers. Yaseishi also possesses a silvered tongue, and is rather deft at intimidation, especially when their Quirk is in full effect.

Yaseishi's birth was a surprise, not that that's saying much, seeing as she has a Quirk. It was pretty obvious at birth, as her sclera were black, and she had a long thin tail. Her parents tried to keep this quiet, but things were difficult. Her teeth grew in sharp, like an animal's, and she small grew horns before she grew hair. They weren't exactly well moneyed individuals, and couldn't afford to move from the small suburb they lived for a sense of anonymity, nor were they able to alter their house to make it more private.
And, as things often do, it went from bad to worse.

Wild Spirit This Transformation Quirk allows for wild manifestations of a base mutation!

Likes: Quiet, medium sized spaces, winter
Dislikes: Her full name, people, needless platitudes, socialites

Ebisugawa, Hyouka (蝦夷川 砲火)

Female

14 - 10th of May

Height: 4'10"

Weight: 130 lbs

Fashion Sense:
Distinguishing Features:

Shy and introverted, Hyouka is an otaku who likes nerdy, boyish things, like Super Sentai, Ultraman, Godzilla movies, Cantonese Kung Fu movies, and giant mecha anime. She has poor self-awareness and loses herself to excitement when it comes to her hobbies or when doing 'heroic' deeds. This makes her appear to switch between an 'outgoing' side and a 'shrinking violet' side. Growing up in a world where quirks are reviled, and mutation quirks in particular are demonized, Hyouka has attempted to close herself off from the ridicule by embracing isolation. Yet her spirit continues to burn with fiery heroism. In a field dominated by exemplars of the human form, Hyouka seeks to prove that even Saturday morning cartoon monsters can be heroes.

Her parents immediately knew something was wrong when a soft, translucent egg was born instead of an infant. Though they had never really had to think about relationships between normal humans and those with quirks, the birth of their child made them reevaluate their worldview. Fortunately, they decided to embrace their daughter, and learn tolerance for others among her new and unique kind.

Because of her unique hands, her mother kept her away from house chores, so her father taught her to participate in his hobbies, where her destructive, 'fat fingers' were less of an issue. Through this she was able to develop passable levels of manual dexterity, though she needs to resort to wearing special rubber gloves that provide her with some form of grip in order to deal with various everyday objects. But because of these closer interactions with her father, she picked up on many of his favorite forms of media, becoming a bit of a tomboy and a daddy's girl. She became enamored with hero shows, and because her parents treated her as their precious little princess, she had never considered how others would react to her appearance until she entered school.

In school, she didn't understand why kids avoided her or talked about her behind her back, or why teachers often turned a blind eye to kids who bullied her. Everything came to a head during a class in which all the students took turns standing in front of the class and read aloud their essay on what they wanted to be when they grew up. Hyouka announced loudly and proudly that she was going to be a hero, like the ones from TV shows and cartoons. The other students jeered, calling her Baltan-seijin, and that she would never be a hero. She ran home in tears and binge-watched her favorite shows, realizing the sheer number of clawed, arthropod-like aliens, and that to the rest of the world, she looked just like these monsters. Though her parents tried to encourage her, she closed herself off from her peers, allowing the hurled insults to roll off her shoulder. Over time, with no friends and no after-school activities, Hyouka began spending more and more time at home, going to school only for her mandatory studies.

To keep her engaged, her father started encouraging her to try various feats with her quirk, filming her, and posting videos online, resulting in playlists like the "Hydraulic Pinch Channel" and "Shrimp Tail Parkour", in which Hyouka pushes the limits on what she can crush with her claws and uses her massive tail to aid in ridiculous jumping feats. Online, things that were not socially acceptable found their niche, and behind the barrier of silicon, Hyouka was allowed to be herself, reviving her hope in one day pursuing her dream. But the family, who believed in peace between those with quirks and those without, felt that vigilantism was not only dangerous, but technically unlawful, and that the ideal hero worked in accordance with the law instead of outside of it. So when the announcement of a brand new school specifically for training heroes came up, Hyouka knew she had to apply.

Hattori Himōri 服部 紐織り

Female

16 - 13th of January

Height: 5' 2"

Weight: 185 lbs

Distinguishing Features:

Born to a Quirkless tailor mother and a Thread Manipulation Quirk father, it came as no surprise to anyone that Himōri’s life would be intrinsically tied to clothing. Even at a young age, Himōri had already been taught how to sow and weave, helping her mother in small amounts at the shop while her father worked as a small-time businessman. She was always entranced by her father’s Quirk, his threads dancing before her eyes as they morph into animals and various shapes to entertain her before he would put her to bed. It was a normal, simple life, up until her father got caught up in a protest from Anti-Quirk extremists and lost his life during the riot along with a few others before the police could rein in the situation.

With only her single mother supporting the family, Himōri was forced to cope with her father’s death alone at the tender age of six while her mother worked furiously to keep them afloat. Over time, the small amount of time Himōri spent to help her mother increased, from minutes to hours to any moment awake she wasn’t at school. By the time she turned eight, Himōri was essentially her mother’s employee, working hours before and after school with no time for breaks in between. Despite her circumstances, Himōri never asked her mother why she would have to work at the shop while other children played at the park, never brought up that her circle of friends had begun to leave her while she was stuck inside repairing a customer’s clothes. She merely trusted in the last member of the family she had, supporting her still-grieving mother while ignoring the grief in her own heart.

It only became worse when her Quirk awakened itself, her mother horrified by the seemingly empty bed she found that morning, only to realize that the curled-up ball of what she thought was a blanket was a Himōri-shaped silk figure. When the misunderstanding was resolved, the family immediately made plans to move, fearing a similar incident of what happened to Himōri’s father could occur should they stay any longer. Even while her mother was frantically preparing for the relocation, Himōri would find herself playing with her newfound powers, reminiscing a time when it was someone else who would show her the wonder of a Quirk. It was only luck that brought them to the city that would eventually construct the UA, and by the time Himōri had reached high school age, she wished to enroll there.

Fearing for her Himōri’s safety, her mother refused, and for a time they were conflicted with one another. For a year, Himōri refused to enroll in another high school, spending her days as a full-time employee at her mother’s shop instead. The woman was surprised, thinking that her daughter was truly taking up the mantle of becoming her successor. It was only when the next school year began that the mother realized what her daughter was trying to do. She would have never let her daughter work for free, so she’d been giving Himōri spending money at the same rate as an actual employee. What she never realized is that Himōri had been saving her money ever since her first paycheck and that she’d saved enough to enroll herself into UA. Their last day together in the same household started with a fight but ended with tearful goodbyes as Himōri set off to become a student at the Quirk-centered UA, with the goal of becoming a person with the strength to keep a family from being forcefully torn apart like hers was.

Wabisabi, Yuuto

Male

Fifteen - 4th of February

Japanese

Height: 6 feet and 4 inches

Weight: 195 pounds

Fashion Sense: Plain shorts and shirts, since they're easy to move in. Sweatpants, hoodies, and jackets come into play during the colder seasons.

Distinguishing Features: His excessively lanky physique and unique expressiveness.

Wabisabi Yuuto is what some people would term, not only in size and appearance but personality as well, a true eccentric. He is the kind of person who would do decidedly awkward things on a moments whim and notice. The kind of person who would eat tofu with soy, jelly, and ketchup just because he can. He is the kind who instead of going to a gym becomes a delinquent to lose weight.

It doesn’t help that he can get quite weird when talking to someone. It definitely doesn’t help when he starts breathing heavily when girls speak to him, how were they to know it was just fun experiment on his side. Or that time when intentionally drooled heavily just irk his middle school principal.

However, as we would expect there is a method to his madness. It is his firm belief that, the only way for his mind to truly grow is to place it into all kinds of unfortunate positions and parallels. Though not many know Yuuto is in fact also quite the hard worker, although he has a myriad of interests, he manages to put his best on everything he tries. He might not actually be the best at any one thing in specific, however in the amalgamation of all these experiences, he got something more than the sum of its parts; a knack for multitasking.

Though over the years, he has cooled down some, as he discovered that unnecessarily antagonizing other people was not always in his best interests. Now, his sights have been set towards the whimsical world of professional heroism and the wonders that it can offer him.

Boing: Yuuto has the ability to coil the muscles in his body, mainly those in his limbs, and then release all the built up energy similar to a spring. He also has extremely long arms and legs along with an elongated torso, which is what gives him colossal stature.

Fears:(PM if you want secrets)

Ishioka Ito

Male

16- 10/25

Japanese/American.

Height:5' 10"

Weight:185lbs.

Fashion Sense:Ito dresses very simply, mostly in jeans t-shirts and a button up over it. But there are three things that he is always wearing; his favorite pair of worn brown leather cowboy boots, matching worn leather hat, and worn leather gloves.

Distinguishing Features:Messy hat hair and a cocky grin.

"Billy" by his very nature is a what is known as a tumbleweed. He is always on the move looking for something to get into and someone to get into it with. A light hearted person Ito walks through life with very little care and truly shows motivation for one thing and one thing only, getting rich. Deep down, however, he has a soft spot for humanity and wants to become a hero so that he can be a wandering vigilante like his favorite heroes in his spaghetti western.

Want to keep it private for now.

Finger-Gun: Ito fires compressed air from the end of his fingertips like pistols.
