SkyFall slid out from the booth on a hunch, a idle hint about the person approaching him by their zesty pitch. He would rather greet this man with a touch of normalcy than with the intimidation his costume offered. Behind the angry mask and the pitch eye holes was the face of a young man, however his height and built-in voice changer hid it well. So he felt comfortable within the dark armor and black cloak, it let him take on the full visage and persona of SkyFall.
A pointed chuckle came from him. "Really?" he asked, his head tilting. "I could say the same of you, Karuma. Likewise with you as well, Dieselpunk. I'am familiar with both of your dealings in the underworld." He took a near fluid step back and lightly bowed his head. "Its an honor."
An honor to use you as steppingstones.
He lifted his head, letting the formality of his tone radiate his practiced greenness. "Dieselpunk and Karuma, he who killed six students. You both are well known and respected in certain circles. I'am ... surprised that you have heard of me. I feel like nothing but the new guy amidst you all."
The sun was soft and the weather outside had been cool. Yoichi's striking figure sauntered through the empty streets that morning. On the way there he considered his own situation. A lot of his time was spent mulling on the failings of humanity. The crooked ideals and twisted falsehoods of Heroes were such a blemish however, that he often found himself drawn to them.
Not that he liked pondering them. Because he knew eventually it would lead back to SkyFall's tragic beginning.
The door to the bar swung open and despite his obvious adolescence he wasn't told to leave. He had felt the tense silence and thought better of speaking, so he placed a hand on the shoulders of Captain East and Shade Walker. He disappeared behind the basement door for awhile, making his way through the labyrinth of workshops and training rooms.
He spent the next few hours honing his body and mind in preparation for the bank heist. There were things that would fall solely on his shoulders, the protection of the group mainly. And with them scattered between three banks, he wondered if they'd come back alive.
SkyFall came up from the basement. His cape fell inches from the floor and he swept it aside before sitting in the first booth; awaiting the arrival of the others.
Weapons: None Hero(Villain) Equipment: Voice synthesizer, makes his voice crackle and deeper.
Strength: Due to his Quirk, Yoichi is capable of superhuman feats of strength. Shattering rock, bending steel, and lifting vehicles are to be expected of him. At his current level, he's been known to rip steel light-post from their places and swing them around effortlessly. His greatest feat so far was chucking a large-sized van into a convenient store.
Endurance: Due to his Quirk Yoichi is capable of superhuman feats of endurance. His endurance is perhaps the strongest aspect of his Quirk. Surviving fatal falls and physical impacts is a specialty of his. Car crashes leaves him lightly bruised but nothing else. It would take a drop from a twenty-four storey building to break his bones and an impact of likewise strength from a hero to do the same. Even still, his Quirk allows for movement with broken-bones, if he's willing to go through the hellscape of pain.
Willpower: At the moment his Willpower is severely lacking. When the odds are stacked against him, at the slightest hints of defeat, Yoichi falters. Though not fearful, outwardly, he will escape the scene, acting in accordance with his rules for survival.
Speed: Due to his Quirk Yoichi is capable of superhuman feats of speed. Without use of his Quirk he's above-average in terms of speed. During missions he's capable of moving at speeds akin to forty-miles per hour and when condensed into a single-movement he can appear as flicker.
Reaction Speed: Perhaps the only aspect of himself unaffected by his Quirk. His reaction speed is good, better than most. Its been honed due to his once-upon-fear of being struck. He became accustomed to reacting to the slightest flickers in the shadows, keen on the minute things around him, and always mindful of that cold, hard feeling in the pit of his stomach.
Name of Quirk:Take and Give
Ability of Quirk: Shock Absorption and Physical Enhancement
Qualities of Quirk: His body's unique anatomy allows him to store the kinetic energy from physical impacts indefinitely. His muscles act as the shock absorber, nearly dampening most physical damage (not including cutting). Afterwards, on a cellular level, the energy is circulated through his body continuously or until "drained", giving him a reliable source of fuel for his superhuman abilities.
Strengths of Quirk: Take and Give enhances his physical abilities to mid-tier Hero levels. His strength, speed, and most of all, durability makes him a force to be reckon with and his youth means it'll only get stronger.
Weaknesses of Quirk: Take and Give requires him to get hit in order for him to dish-it-out. Despite his shock-absorbing-muscles, for whatever reason his nerves still receive "most" of the pain. It can be jarring to fall from a fatal height and know you'll stay conscious to feel all the pain. In addition, his outlandish actions often uses big chunks of his reserves, requiring him to purposely put himself in harms way to continue the fight.
Limits of Quirk: The one limit he has discovered is the result of intaking too much energy, too suddenly. When his body is "clogged" his body reacts by raising his body temperature to steam-inducing levels, expelling the excess store in the form of said steam and through blood. Typically he bleeds from his eyes, ears, and mouth (hint-hint, blood is also a means of releasing stored energy).
Biography: Yoichi would bet his meager-life that his late mother died clueless and ignorant. That she believed by sacrificing herself that she would send him off to live a fairly normal, if not mundane existence. Which, if true, would prove just how idealistic she was. With his father already deceased he landed darkly on his aunt's doorstep. Those first few nights were filled with nightmares. The next few years were flooded with wonders. At night--sometimes during the day--he would ruminate about that morning; the morning the plane broke apart. He wondered what drove her to wrapping herself elastic-body around him, why her panicked breath held no words of comfort.
Why that utterly weak hero had left her behind!
Why had she smiled behind the flamed wreckage or even twiddled her fingers weakly, feigning a reassured goodbye. All of it had been nonsense, some idea of sacrifice based on emotion. They both could have lived, he just knew they could. But her ignorance and rashness had left him the only survivor between them ...
So was it ever a question that he'd grow to hate the Hero Society. They were praised as Champions of the weak and yet they were awfully inefficient. He could say without a doubt that they were horrible at truly being heroes. You know, like the ones myths were based off of. The ones that overcame true, overwhelming odds. How did he know? well he became what one might call a villain. Whenever he could he would pick off those he knew were weaker than him. Though pros they may be, they were ill suited for his Quirk and more times then not, unsuspecting of a youth in a school uniform. Caving their chest in or turning their face to putty wasn't hard, especially after they went on the offensive.
In a span of two months he had chosen three heroes around his area; three chosen, three dead. When things got too hot for him, he received an invitation from Black Tree. It came with a knife firmly planted in his aunt's back. Oddly enough, he had actually felt a very small twinge of sadness. In it was the promise of sanctuary in exchange for his "cooperation", all he had to do was say aloud "I accept."
He did and a full four months later he was attending a new high school under a new identity. A costume was provided, everything that he had lacked was given to him and now, now he was a real villain. Now he was Lord Skyfall.
Personality: Yoichi is a calm, stoic youth who often picks apart the depravities of humanity while meticulously upkeeping his own human needs. In regards to this, he very rarely looks for the good in a situation, often diving right into the worst-case scenario. This pessimism stems from an unnatural persistence to stay logical; he learned from his mother that decisions driven by emotions can be world-shattering. Anything without a clear-cut answer could flip one's perception of the world on its head. And yet, for all his fabricated control, Yoichi also harbors a shameless need to watch all things fade. The world, the buildings within it, the people around him, the girl beneath him, all things should fall to dust.
To his dismay however, Yoichi admits to not being capable of doing this alone. A deep-seated fear of death is nestled beside his heart. He knows he needs others and has developed a taste for manipulation in order to acquire them. His Black Tree companions may even believe him something of a normal teen.
