Haru was born to a quirkful father and quirkless mother, and on the day of his birth, the doctors and nurses found themselves awed- and somewhat blinded, by his luminant majesty (and befuddled by the blue skin mutation). The fact that his powers were so involved with luminosity came as a surprise to his father, a mid tier Pro Hero whose quirk allowed him to manipulate nearby shadows. Still, Haru would be patiently taught how to control his quirk by the age of three, as his passive absorption of light eventually made it difficult to look at him without sunglasses.

Over this time, he would be instilled with the values that would eventually foment into the desire to become a hero. This glimmering child would eventually grow up with a strong moral compass of right and wrong, good and evil, and the nuances that may exist in between. While he lived in a rural area with low population (and thus little crime), watching the news of villains committing villainy and heroes stopping them with their heroism inspired him to desire to become a hero.

He would especially admire the Symbol of Peace, the number one hero of Japan, All Might. The news of All Night's death when Haru was six years old was a truly devastating event, but at the same time, knowing that All Might died defeating the greatest villain of all, All For One, also kindled inspiration. He would be always told thus by his father: “Be willing to sacrifice if you truly must, but never seek it out.” As his father was one of those Pro Heroes that kept their true identities secret from the public, Haru would pick up on it, realizing the rationale behind the secrecy. So, he chose to attend his father's Alma Mater, Eirei Academy.

The Inward Lights: Haru’s costume incorporates hundreds of tiny, activateable light emitters that point inward, allowing him to be of use even in dark places. However, he's nowhere as strong as he would be under a summer sun.

Blackout Visor: Protects Haru’s eyes from his own light shows by automatically dimming whenever he uses a powerful move. It is also equipped with night vision goggles to allow him to navigate when he darkens his current location with his Quirk.

Haru’s Quirk allows him to absorb and store nearby photons to fuel his abilities. It has rather versatile applications; he can create orbs to illuminate dark places, emit powerful laser beams from his hands, blind enemies with flashbangs, and provide heating either through passive emission of warm “sunlight” or physical touch.

For the less intensive applications (warmth and lighting), the passive absorption of light throughout the day is more than enough. However, when firing beams or emitting blinding flashbangs, Haru will start consuming photons at an absurd rate, to the point that a 1 meter radius around him can become completely lightless whenever he uses a powerful move (and thus impossible to see in and out of without thermal goggles or a search type Quirk). As such, he has to keep changing positions in a fight to fully utilize his Quirk.

He will generally keep releasing absorbed photons over the course of a day, as storing too much at the same time can cause dangerous side effects such as nausea and fatigue. It's easy to tell when he has too much, too, as he'd quite literally be glowing by then.

When he's wounded, it would be apparent that his blood is glowing, at least when exposed to air.

Super Move: Supernova - Absorbs great amounts of light, dimming much of the surrounding area. This charged up energy is then released either as the mother of all laser beams blasting in a single direction, or a flashbang so bright you might as well have the sun right on your face. He becomes deathly tired after his move, however, and repeatedly using it is extremely risky.
