MAHIRU KUROGANE

^{[ HONEGUMI || SKELETAL MANIPULATION || FORM ]}

Passing by the group of girls - and robot - chatting with each other, Mahiru made his way into the school to search for his designated classroom; 1-A. While he would have loved to spend more time observing the collection of... unique human beings gathered outside, he couldn't waste anymore time than he already had. He still needed to get Hotaru-chan prepared for her first day at school after all.

Finding his classroom wasn't much trouble for the fragile looking boy. The room still seemed fairly empty if it weren't for the enormous figure sitting at the back at the class. That guy was in his class too, huh. Now that he got a closer look, it was easy to tell the kind of quirk he must have been born with. The scales, the gigantic tail...

Despite the dragon guy's prominence taking up the rear of the classroom, Mahiru still snatched himself a seat at the back of the class as well - if there was one thing he hated it was people sitting behind him. The thought of someone staring at his back the entire time, watching everything he did... It made him uncomfortable, to say the least. And so he settled on a desk somewhere in the corner of the room that was still unoccupied, where he set his bag on his lap, opened it and pulled out a small container. Opening the container revealed a tiny skeleton, judging from its teeth must have belonged to a rodent of some sorts, which he placed on a stand of similar size to keep it positioned upright. "... There. Now everyone here can admire your beauty." he whispered to the rodent skeleton, one he called by the name Hotaru, and placed her on the front of his desk so she was the first thing to capture the gaze of anyone looking his direction - or well, if they weren't distracted by the big ass dragon freak or tiny muscle man next to him.

As if dragons weren't enough to make his new class a freakshow, out of all people to walk into the door next, it of course had to be the robot girl. Mahiru could only stare in awe at movements of this girl as she made her way over to one of the seats in front, and he feared for the chair's life as she took her seat. Soon after was someone who probably was more his style, although he could only wonder what was hiding beneath that mask covering his mouth...

Slowly the remainder of the students began pouring in, none of which caught his eyes as much as those mentioned before. However, just when Mahiru thought he had seen it all... the teacher came in. A T-rex wearing a fedora. Briefly he glanced through the classroom to see if it was just him who was fazed by this, and all of a sudden he regretted not taking a seat more upfront to actually be able to see the expressions on their faces. His own face barely showed the bewilderment he felt on the inside once the dinosaur man opened his mouth and casually began his introduction. Kyou Suika, was his name, and if Mahiru was here to stay; this creature was to be his homeroom teacher for the next years at the U.A. Academy.

His speech started out as exactly the kind he would have expected from a teacher at this school, but eventually became rather inspiring, even encouraging the ever so pessimistic Mahiru to think about them. 'Your past dictates your future, but your present dictates your past'... Was he just spouting out something random to make himself sound wise, or was there actual meaning behind those words? Perhaps it had something to do with this man's own past? All these thoughts however were blown out the window when the teacher's demeanor took a hundred and eighty degree turn, his hauntingly red eyes staring down his pupils intensively as he bared his teeth. "Now, who wants to declare their goals first?"

It was a tall girl at the front of the classroom to be the first to speak up. Introducing herself as Akeno Kudo, she revealed her ultimate goal that probably a lot at this school shared with her; to become a hero. Having no desire to be one of the first students to answer the question, Mahiru quietly waited for his turn to come.

MAHIRU KUROGANE

^{[ HONEGUMI || SKELETAL MANIPULATION || FORM ]}

Everything was going to be different from now on.

He still couldn't quite believe it... Accepted into the U.A. Academy, the most prestigious high school for heroics in all of Japan. A fate most of those gifted with a magical ability, a quirk most commonly called, could only dream of... And yet, it had never been a dream for Mahiru. Not once in his life had he imagined himself to follow the road of becoming a professional hero, to take part in a culture he didn't always agree with. While their initial intentions aligned with his, to protect humanity and create peace in the world, Mahiru wasn't too fond of what the superhero culture had grown to be - a business filled with so-called 'heroes' who were only in it for the money or fame.

For years he longed for a world without these quirks, the cause for all chaos and inequality among humans, an irregularity that brought out the worst in them. Quirks weren't natural, they were never meant to exist, and never should have fallen into the hands of humans... Granting them such power only lead to more disaster.

It took until his thirteenth birthday that he began to to view the academy, the most talked about phenomenon in his hometown of Musutafu, in a different light. Rather, what it took for him to do so was the meeting with a pro hero. A young woman who helped him come to the realization that there was little point in moping for what could have been, and that he instead should focus on making the most of what he was given. With his own power, he too could make a difference by protecting those in need. Among the way he might even enlighten other heroes with his philosophy, and perhaps one day be influential enough to truly make the world a better place.

And so, more than a year of intensive self-taught training to get the most out of his quirk, led up to this moment. The entrance exam wasn't as bad as Mahiru expected it to be. It helped that his opponents were robots, man made creatures without soul. Enemies he could go all out on without feeling regret. While it was difficult for him to fight them head on with his quirk as bone wasn't much of a match against the gigantic metal machines, they were quite easy to outsmart. By staying inside of the robots' blind spots and using the environment wisely, Mahiru eventually managed to get to the hostage and kept them safe from harm until time ran out. It hadn't been the best performance out of all entrance exams, but his stealth was deemed good enough to pass.

Today was the first day at his new school. It had only been a 5-minute walk from home, yet he seemed to have been one of the last to arrive, the school grounds already bustling with students ready to start the new school year. It certainly was quite the sight to see such unique looking people all gathered here, some having animal features, while others were abnormally tall and muscular as a result of their quirks. There was even a robot among them, chatting with a couple girls that must have been about his age. Clutching onto the strap of his school bag, Mahiru walked down the path towards the school's entrance, taking in everything in sight.

Mahiru "Honegumi" Kurogane

_{image source}

_{FULL NAME}
[g] Mahiru [真昼 "broad daylight]
[l] Kurogane [黒銀 "black steel]

_{HERO NAME}
Honegumi [骨組み "skeleton"]

_APPEARANCE
Mahiru is about average length for his age [5'5 ft, 166 cm] but dangerously underweight [84 lbs, 38 kg]. His skin is as white as snow, his hair dark grey with silver highlights on the side of his face and his eyes are grey.
He always wears heavy makeup [mascara, eyeliner, black nail polish] a choker and earrings. Outside of his school uniform, he is never seen wearing any other color than black. His arms and legs are usually covered in bandages.
His superhero costume looks similar to this, however with shorts and no gloves. He also wears a hood combined with a skull mask, similar to this.

_AGE
Fourteen, born on November 2nd [Scorpio]

_CLASS
1-A, Hero Track

_QUIRK
Skeletal Manipulation
This quirk allows Mahiru control over the form of his own skeleton. He is capable of forming as well as removing bones from his own body, limited to the total mass of bones of his natural skeleton [to form new bone he needs to remove it elsewhere in his body, and vice versa]. One usage of his quirk he often relies on is the formation of a knife-shaped bone out of his lower arm that rests on top of his hand. Another example is his ability to create a shield underneath his skin to protect him from incoming attacks.

_STRENGTHS
- His quirk is very versatile despite its limits, and works for both offense and defense.
- Broken bones are healed within a second, making him quite durable during battle.
- Mahiru is quick witted and very perceptive, allowing him to quickly discover an opening to attack.
- He is able to keep a cool head during any situation.

_WEAKNESSES
- As he needs to remove bone in order to form new bone, Mahiru is forced to weaken parts of his body to use his quirk.
- To use his quirk for offense [such as creating spikes or other weapons], Mahiru is required to let the bone pierce through his skin, leaving open wounds afterwards.
- Any bone that ends up detached from his skeleton can no longer be manipulated and needs to grow back naturally.
- Mahiru is physically rather weak and heavily relies on his quirk to fight.

_PERSONALITY
Mahiru is one of little words, and whenever he does speak, it's full of riddles. As such, he tends to be perceived as quite the mysterious individual in the eyes of his peers, some might even be a little creeped out by his peculiar habits and dubious beliefs. Despite having a hard time making friends, Mahiru does often seek out the company of others, however he's more of a listener than a speaker, leaving the conversation rather one-sided. He seems unfazed by the opinions of others and simply keeps doing what he believe is the right thing. He expresses very little emotion, and isn't quick to anger or become upset.

Despite his apathetic demeanor, Mahiru actually cares deeply for the well-being of all creatures, whether human or animal, living or dead. He strongly believes that when somebody dies, their spirit continues to live on, as long as their skeletal remains are preserved. As a result his house, much against his parents disapproval, is filled with the bones of dead animals. Mahiru greatly treasures his collection of bones; he cleans them daily, talks to them and even brings them to school from time to time to introduce them to his classmates.

Mahiru is very perceptive and one to analyze the situation before doing anything rash. He often hides and waits for the right moment to attack rather than to rush in. Able to think quickly and rationally in any situation, his intelligence makes up for his lack of physical strength. In a team, Mahiru would mostly suit the role of the tactician, however he works just as well following someone else's plan; he isn't one to argue and simply goes along with the plan if his own isn't approved. He chooses the safety of his teammates over his own, and if there truly are no other options available, would sacrifice himself without hesitation.

_HISTORY
Surprisingly enough, both of Mahiru's parents are quirkless; his quirk seems to be a spontaneous mutation rather than genetically inherited. His parents are as ordinary as they could be, and always had a lot of trouble comprehending Mahiru's fascination with death and his strange philosophy. Nevertheless, they have always cared deeply for their son. The love and affection he received from his parents wasn't enough for a happy childhood, however. Mahiru always was the victim of bullying at school for his peculiarities. Over the years his skin thickened enough to not let it get to him anymore, and eventually, the kids who made his life a living hell lost interest and gave up. It did however leave some permanent scars as he still often thinks back on the events of the past.

scent of the night [kimetsu no yaiba]

Just wondering if everyone is still up for this? ^^

You Too Can Become A Hero! [My Hero Academia Check]

I'm definitely interested! BNHA is always fun to rp :D

scent of the night [kimetsu no yaiba]

@Raijinslayer I've just read through it, and wow... that backstory was so long but definitely worth the read, well done!
Take your time developing the breath style, it's okay if it isn't finished before starting ^^

scent of the night [kimetsu no yaiba]

Alright, thanks! That was my original plan as well but just wanted to know if you guys were expecting me to start it earlier. In that case I'll wait for for everyone to get their characters mostly done!

scent of the night [kimetsu no yaiba]

That's up to you of course, but it's nice to see how far everyone is with their characters! Souma and Chiyo are looking great, I love the traits you two chose for them 👌

When do you guys think the rp should start? Do you want me to make a starter soon or should I wait for everyone to finish creating their characters first?

scent of the night [kimetsu no yaiba]

I should probably mention that I'm currently housesitting for a sibling for a week or thereabouts, so it might take me a bit longer than usual to finish this sheet, and for that I apologize.

@Sloth

Take your time! It seems none of us got their characters ready so far anyway so it might take a while before I'll make the first post. ^^
