Artymis — Roleplayer Guild

Appearance: 

Costume: Ezra doesn't like the idea of a costume in itself, so he hasn't come up with any ideas yet. He feels as if he hides behind a mask or a persona, then he is not a true hero, as he is not helping people on a face to face basis. Plus, he isn't a very creative person in regards to clothing. 

Name: Ezra Jasekade 

Gender: Male 

Age: 15

Height: 6'5(Same Height as Endeavour) 

Weight: 210 lbs

Personality:

Ezra's personality mostly stems from where he was brought up, which was poor rough areas of Kyushu. For him, his life has been dog eat dog for nearly his entire existence, so his mentality regarding competitors is fairly set in stone. Ezra also maintains an air of paranoia that exists even with his friends due to the many events that occurred during his upbringing. He finds himself hiding precious belongings and valuables in his room in extremely secretive places. He also speaks with a lot of slang on his tongue due to the environment that he was raised. 

Ezra is an interesting figure in the sense that he is completely contrarian to everything somebody would expect to be a hero to be. He is not kind or forgiving. He does not possess villainous traits, but it is questionable why Ezra even became a hero to begin with if one was to exclusively look at these features. Rather, he is somebody who enjoys competition, constantly striving and searching for new opponents to be able to defeat, whether mentally or physically. 

Despite all these things, Ezra cannot be considered a bad person. He is hyper competitive and does not perform or wish to become a hero for good, he looks to obtain it for the thrill and the influence that being a hero commands. He hopes that with the influence he commands, he can make his parents live happy even if he is mostly doing it for the fun. This is another faucet of who Ezra is. Whenever he is indebted to someone in his eyes, he pays it back twofold, and he never forgets if somebody has done something for him. In other words, if you help him out, he will be with you until he sees that debt repaid. 

Another reason for that is because of the code of honour that Ezra maintains. He views himself as a gold standard, something that should be respected and respectable. If he feels as if somebody has insulted him or his name, he has no hesitation to confront or fight them about it. The reason why he takes debts so seriously is because he views this as part of his credibility, and if he refused to pay a debt, then he is not somebody who should be respected. This applies more than just to debts, Ezra is fiercely protective of anyone he considers a friend, and frankly would fight anybody that attempted to hurt or bully them if he was to observe it happening. 

Beside his paranoia, Ezra is not anti-social. He continuously engages in conversation with his classmates, and can be found to be incredibly polite in his own way when treated with the same respect that he desires. He is always up for a joke, a roasting session or some friendly banter shared within his group. He finds nearly anything funny, and doesn't mind it happening to himself either, as long as it is done by people within his friendship circle. 

All in all, Ezra is a misunderstood person by most. Although he does not possess heroic characteristics, he is still a kind person that wishes for nothing more than to have fun and to make it big so that his family can live well. 

Background:

Ezra was born in Kyushu to parents that were not in the best economic situation. He lived in an apartment, and was the only child of his family due to the disparate economic situation making it difficult for his family to live with what they had, so they doubted whether they could afford bringing up another child. As a result of this, Ezra found himself lonely most of the nights of his childhood, looking for things to do inside his house. His parents wouldn't let him outside until he went to school due to fears of gangs or horrors happening to the child that were fairly realistic.

Ezra's childhood didn't progress like this however when his parents saw his incredible growth. He stood at least a head taller than most other kids at his age, which was unusual given that both his parents were not exceptionally tall by any means. His dad barely scraped the board at 6'0, and his mother was around 5'3, making his height somewhat weird. They figured that he'd be able to hold his own out on the streets and figure out if a situation was dangerous enough for him to go back out and go home. 

Ezra discovered his quirk around the same age that most other young children discovered it, but didn't really know enough about it to discover how it worked. He couldn't really be bothered to understand at that age of his life either, as trying to live in the environment that he grew up in often drained the physical and mental energy that he had. He often found himself fighting other kids who thought they could get popularity from beating up somebody that big, and much to their dismay they tended to be put down.

Ezra was never a nice person when he was in school. He was incredibly sceptical of anyone in case they wanted to try and fight him in order to gain credibility, but he wasn't necessarily a bully when he could well have been. This lead to him only having a few real friends but developing the bonds that he shared with them immensely. He found himself disliking the company of those who he didn't consider to be his friends, and saw those people as just trying to exploit his strength.

Outside of school, Ezra spend his time doing two of things, the first being hustling. He found a way to make his own money so that he could afford the things he wanted, and he did this through sales and intimidation. Whilst he never dealt drugs, he did sell almost illegal goods that would have definitely been called into question had his parents or the police found out about them. He found any way he could to make money, whether it was taking out peoples trash, delivering newspapers or cleaning cars.

He found solace in the game of basketball from his economic background. He ended up spending most of his days going to his school gym merely to play, as it gave him the release he needed to take his stress and anger out, and as he had the right physique for it, everything just clicked into play. It was a great stress reliever for the child who didn't know what he wanted to do. He had liked other sports previously, but it seemed to click with everything that he believed in. Whilst it was a team game, unlike football you were not dependant completely on your team yet the aspect of teamwork remained a prominent aspect. Ezra did not like having to be completely reliant on another human being after living life just fine by himself, whether it was just for a game or a major event. 

It was around this time where he began to believe being a hero was the best option for him. Complete independence, where he was reliant on himself and only himself, yet could still protect his friends and those he he respected sounded like a dream come true, even if he didn't necessarily believe in the morals or principles that it contained. Although he was never an exceptionally gifted academic due to the quality of the schools in the area, he still worked hard enough to get just enough grades to pass the entrance exam. His physical ability was apparent, his mental state was stable, and the only thing holding him back was his mentality. He ended up training his quirk as well, gaining great skill with it whereas he had neglected it prior.

He was scared of the change of pace, but ultimately welcomed a taste of the hero life at his new school.

Quirk - Secret ;D

Talents:

Ezra has been fighting on the streets for as long as he remembers, and as a result, he is very adept at street fights and urban duels, due to his experience in this field. He isn't skilled in a particular martial art but he's fairly confident he could beat the vast majority of people in a fist fight

Ezra is an exceptional basketball player, since he's been at it since he was young. The fact that he towers over most other people his age in terms of muscle mass and height helps on top of that. He is incredibly athletic because of this.  

Ezra has an incredibly good memory. it isn't eidetic/photographic but he can remember basically any detail that holds any level of significance to him.
