I’m not fat, I’m thick skinned!
Name: Ito, Kenji
Age: 15
Height: 5’11’’
Weight: 200lbs
Build: Stocky THICK SKINQuirk: Beetle! Along with his normal skeleton, Kenji is also protected by a thick insect-like exoskeleton surrounding his body. He can also lift several times his own body weight, a true strongman!
***Quirk Details: His quirk, Beetle, grants him a tough exoskeleton made of chitin that looks natural enough that it could fool anyone into believing he is just overweight. The biggest giveaway is the elytron splitting his back down the middle like beetle wings. He is also much stronger than he looks, capable of lifting up to 5 times his own bodyweight. (1000lbs!) However, if he sustains too much damage to his exoskeleton it will harden and make it impossible for Kenji to move without molting and revealing his vulnerable second form.
***Quirk Development: With training, Kenji hopes to reach the full potential proportional strength of a rhinoceros beetle and be able to lift 850 times his own weight! It’s not very realistic though, he admits. He sets his sights on 100 times his own weight.
The possibility of further increasing the strength of his natural armour through method of repeated forced molts has been discussed but it is inadvisable due to the physical and psychological turmoil of shedding his skin.
As Kenji has not yet reached adulthood, doctors theorize that he could further develop his quirk much like an adolescent beetle entering its final molt. His elytron may one day develop semi-functional insectoid wings.
Description: Kenji Ito is by first glance a plain looking overweight high school student. He has shaggy dark brown hair and shady brown eyes. He wears glasses for reading sometimes but doesn’t really need them otherwise. While fully dressed his mutation type quirk is not immediately obvious until you realize that those two strands of hair sticking up and flicking around aren’t exactly hair but antennae. A quick tap on the shoulder would reveal that his skin is actually very tough, very smooth and absolutely unyielding to any attempts of pinching. If he were to take off his shirt you could see the seams of his exoskeleton around his joints and down his back separating at the spine.
Those that don’t know him well enough would assume that he is a very formal, studious, and even shy young man. Kenji is self-conscious of his appearance due to his quirk leading people to assume he is overweight, even though he prides himself on his healthy diet and workout regime. Any prodding based on this assumption is met with a demonstration of his raw natural strength, though he usually apologizes for making a scene shortly after.
