Name: Vitaliy Takanashi - "Entomos"
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Personality: Vitaliy is exceedingly vain and incredibly arrogant. He views himself with complete and pure pride. He is fond of running his mouth about those around him, easily turning cruel and vindictive if he spots a mental weak spot which he feels he can exploit. Building on this, he is very easy to anger, the smallest slight against him perceived as an attack on his entire being. He is extremely committed to a crime once he decides to carry it out, and derives great pleasure from its completion. He doesn't exactly gain satisfaction from causing people pain directly, but he delights in leaving mental scars, people talking about him after the act.
Background: Vitaliy is half Japanese and half Ukrainian. His father was a minor Japanese bureaucrat, who met his mother while accompanying a Japanese minister on a diplomatic trip to Kiev. His father eventually moved to the city to be with his mother, and Vitaliy spent the formative years of his childhood in an elegant apartment overlooking a park in Kiev's city center. Certainly a privileged upbringing, with parents who consistently doted on him and provided him with only the best.
His quirk manifested fairly early on, and he immediately found a penchant for mischief, using it to pull pranks, some of which were decidedly cruel - a particularly large cockroach shooting up the neck of a particularly squeamish girl, burrowing itself into her frizzy hair. Vitaliy adored the feeling of his classmates looking at him with rage or fear whenever he stepped onto the playground. However, soon others quirks began to manifest and he found himself needing more and more extreme material each time.
This happened to coincide with the breaking point of his parents marriage issues - which culminated in a divorce, and his father whisking him away to Japan. Life here was not so privileged, as his father had quit his bureaucrat role in order to move to Ukraine in the first place. Vitaliy resented his father for pulling him out of his privileged life. He began to fall in with the wrong sorts of people, as his quirk grew in strength as he got older.
The first time a crime he committed made the local news, Vitaliy was positively thrilled. He began to try and up his game, to experience that feeling again. He left home after a heated argument with his father, where calling the police was used as a threat. Vitaliy never saw his father again after that, and he didn't really care. He used his quirk to steal things to make himself appear privileged, selling things he stole on the black market. He became faux-wealthy eventually.
He soon turned his attention back to crime, and has been committing a spree of random crimes across his area in order to try and stamp his mark and his legacy on it.
Aspiration: Vitaliy has one clear goal - recognition. He wants to leave a legacy, for his crimes to embed themselves in the public conscious, where they will never be forgotten. He wants his name plasted throughout the media, people to talk about him for years to come. Whether that's through dismantling the system, or burning out in a truly horrific or memorable crime doesn't really matter.
Strength & Weakness: Strengths:
-Thanks to his privileged upbringing with a fine education, Vitaliy is a quick learner and a very adept criminal mind
-His quirk can provide extremely effective distractions or be very dangerous in its own right, depending on the species used
-His commitment to criminal acts, and his capacity for sheer malice mean that very few acts turn out as failures - so far.
Weaknesses
-As his quirk never really called for it, Vitaliy is not at all adept at hand to hand combat or battles of pure strength
-His quick to anger nature and vanity can lead to instability and infighting if somebody slights him
-As he gained his moderate wealth himself, he has a lack of connections to criminal underworlds, having totally broken ties with his old gangs
Quirk: Volukinesis - Vitaliy has the ability to control insects. He can make them form into great swarms, them becoming completely under his control as a collective. It is important to note that this power only applies to insects - not arachnids like spiders, or millipedes or centipedes etc.
Skills/Talents:
-Vitaliy is an extremely adept problem solver, easily being able to think outside of the box
-He can speak 4 languages - Ukrainian, Japanese Russian and English, in descending order of fluency - although Ukrainian and Japanese are virtually at the same level
-He is a fair shot, having taken firearm classes in his youth
Inventory: His apartment a lot of things. Perhaps the most relevant are:
-His villain outfit - a modified formal suit with insectoid legs and other features creepily worked into the design
-A small collection of some very dangerous insects, which serve as a form of home energy defence system
-A modest collection of firearms
