Name: Mamoru Aksha
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Height: 175cm
Weight: 63kg
Personality:
Despite her bookish looks and reticent attitude, Mamoru is quite simpleminded. She has a bit of a short temper and can be quick to incite, for better or for worse. While not exactly hot-blooded as some, she's plucky and courageous enough to jump into the fray without a second thought. She can be intelligent and think when action isn't needed, but she prefers not to as she tends to overthink, and subsequently over complicate things. She has a bad habit on dwelling on things, and often distracts herself by doing literally anything but thinking about it. While she has a good heart and easily emphasize with others, her violent temper and straightforward attitude can and will get her into more problems than she can solves.
Background:
Mamoru grew up in a fairly normal family. Both her parents run a business making hero costumes, thanks to their quirks making the process easier for them (Mamoru's mother can change the textiles into other materials while her father can turn his fingers into needles to help make precision threading). Thus a hero's life was something that Mamoru grew up with, seeing all sorts of famous and powerful heroes come to her family's store to get their costume repaired or made. She discovered her own quick when she was playing dodgeball with some kids. A bully from school who's quirk was a strong arm joined the game and started to hurt everyone. Wanting to put a stop to it she faced this bully, and when he threw the ball as hard as he could at her Mamoru manifested her shield, stopping the ball dead in it's track.
Since than Mamoru has been practicing being a hero, generally just working out while learning a few techniques with her shield. She learned more about her shield's power, such as it’s ability to absorb kinetic energy dead in it’s track. As she was training however, many kids her age tend to look down on her because her quirk wasn’t flashy or particularly powerful. She got into a lot of fights with these kids, but it only inspired her to train harder to become a hero.
When Mamoru graduated from middle school, there was only one place she wanted to go: Komei Academy, in her hometown of Hosu.
Quirk:
Aegis - An Emitter type quirk, Mamoru can manifest a small shield instantly in her hands, and dismiss it instantly as well. This shield has innate shock absorbing properties allows Mamoru to be stead fast as it takes everything from punches, bullets, and even car crashes without budging. However the power of the shield is limited only to the shield, and without her shield Mamoru is just a normal, albeit athletic girl. The shield has a secret weakness however: it’s durability is linked to Mamoru’s consciousness, and the closer to unconsciousness she is, the weaker the shield is. It can be broken if Mamoru herself isn’t at full strength as it’s linked to her health.
Talents:
Mamoru has very good hand-to-eye coordination when it comes to throwing objects. Her shield isn’t exactly designed to be thrown, but she has no problems tossing it at a bad guy nailing them between the eyes. The same goes for just about anything she can toss, which she weaponizes by keeping a small bag of rubber balls she can pitch at her foes with deadly efficiency.
Mamoru also played a lot of baseball growing up, which has helped her immensely at not only pitching, but also running and her reaction time. She’s very quick on her feet and can read quick, subtle cues with ease, allowing her to intercept all sorts of things with her shield, or avoid them if needed.
