Boku no Hero: Hands-On Experience

Iccho Matsuo

_{Height: 5'6" (167.64 cm)
Weight: 176 lb (80 kg)}

---

---

Name: Matsuo, Iccho

Gender: Male

Age: 15

Personality:

Iccho is rather stern and always looking to take charge of a situation. The reason he wants to be in charge because he feels others will screw up. He fully believes in his capabilities and is slow to trust others in basically every way. This belief that he has the right to be in charge can lead to others feeling Iccho can be abrasive, and that is a kind word for it. He realizes this flaw in himself, but it is rather difficult to overcome.

His biggest fear is failure, so he tries his best to succeed in everything he does. This is not realistic and it causes him to take failures a lot harder than he should. This leads to an over competitive “spirit”. He pushes himself and others to the point of breaking. He has the capability of being a strong and good leader, but he has many personal flaws that he needs to work on to reach his potential.

Background:

Iccho was born and raised in Kaului, Hawaii. This means that the whole new world of high quality hero training will be a whole new experience for Iccho. His father was a fisherman of Japanese decent and his mother, from New York, worked as a school teacher. Iccho idolized his father and how strong he was. When Iccho started to develop his quirk, it was a natural fit on a fishing boat. It is a lot easier to transport fish when they have been paralyzed. He started to go out on his father’s ship, so Iccho has the strength of a fisherman. He works out every day to reach his father.

However, all changed when his father’s boat was destroyed in a storm created by a super villain. His father took his ship out into the storm to help save a ferry that was caught in the storm. Iccho saw how brave his father was and this inspired Iccho to pursue being a hero. His mother did everything she could to push Iccho away from being a hero, but it was to no avail. Iccho had a group of friends who would help solve problems around the city, but they grew apart when Iccho wanted to take it more seriously and his friends wanted to just have fun.

When his friends abandoned him, Iccho became determined to become a real hero just like his father was. He applied for a mainland hero program in order to improve his quirkm so he can be the hero that his city and the island of Hawaii needs. He knows that he has to change his ways if he wants to become a hero, but it is hard to trust others when everyone he trusts have abandoned him.

Quirk: Poison Quill

His body hair can accumulate a large amount of keratin, so his body hairs become sharp quills that can come out of any pore. They are currently only able to be rather small, about 3 inches (7.62 cm). He is able to remove the quills and throw them towards his enemy. Iccho can only recuperate his quills about 4 times in a short fight. This limits his ability to throw quills, and how he can defend himself.

The quills also have a slight paralytic poison on the tips that paralyze a small portion of a human’s body (i.e. if a person gets hit on the upper arm then their upper arm will be paralyzed). The poison is currently not potent enough to spread far in the body or cause major organ failure. Iccho has been able to build up an immunity to his poison over time, so he is not affected by it whenever his body secretes it.

Skills:

• Strength and balance gained by working on a fishing boat.
• Knowledge of the fish in the waters around Japan.
• Very strong swimmer.

@Tominas Made some changes to make him from Hawaii, so still basic background just in the United States.

Before the group had time to go off and explore the rest of the facilities, the fight already started. Jefferson was definitely the more skilled of the two and it showed throughout the beginning of the match. However, the tides turned in Dante's favor once she whipped out her quirk. Iccho thought it was a little unfair for her to use her quirk in what was suppose to be a quirk free fight. It looked like Dante was the kind of person who would do whatever it takes to win. Maybe that kind of attitude was not exactly heroic, but it could be important when it comes to saving ones life. The fight was brought to the end by the Wolf after it seemed like Jefferson injured himself while punching Dante in the jaw. The fight told a lot about both of the fighters, and what kind of people they were. Iccho would take this information in carefully, but before he had time to fully process Mako started shouting about someone being there.

Out of nowhere a girl that seemed closer in age to the students appeared out of nowhere. This startled Iccho since he was not able to sense her presence and she was so close to the group. With that kind of ability it was safe to assume that she was another teacher at the academy. The woman, Midori, seemed to call Mako her brother. Iccho was not sure if they were actually related or if the woman was just being overly affectionate. She did a whole gesture thing when she introduced herself, it was like she was trying to hard to come off as a hero. Iccho felt more relaxed after she did that because it was clear she was nothing like any of the other teachers at this school.

"Nice to meet you Midori. I am Iccho Matsuo. I am assuming you are a teacher her, so what course will you be teaching?" Iccho felt that was a good question to ask since it will give the woman the ability to talk about herself, and also the opportunity to see what they will be learning at this school in a more in depth look. It also might also buy him some brownie points if he shows interest in whatever she says.

@TominasYou can post it now. No need to hold things up on our account, at least that's my opinion.

The group was able to find an elevator that led the group to the boxing rings, and then when they got there a giant wolf-man was there willing to help. Turned out that the wolf with a major nicotine addiction was a teacher and he was here in case the students needed anything. This was obviously taken advantage of by Dante and Jefferson as they both looking forward to their match. It might be awhile before the match even started, so it might make sense to explore the training facility a little bit more to stave off the boredom that will come with waiting.

He turned back towards Eir and Tempest and was surprised to see another girl with them. He might have been a little too distracted to see her even show up. Now he had to look like a jerk and ask for here name again. Definitely not the greatest way to make a good first impression. He turned toward the new girl, "Hey, I'm Iccho Matsuo. I'm sorry I missed your name before, what is it?" He played off that last question with a slight laugh to try and make the conversation less awkward, but Iccho felt that it failed miserably. He just wanted anything to distract from this situation.

"Do the rest of you guys want to take a look around while we wait for the others to get there match started? It might be a better way to pass time than just standing around looking like lost puppies." He was hopeful that his suggestion would be taken seriously since there was no we he would just stand around and do nothing on his first day one campus.

Eir was the first one who caught up to Iccho. The small pink-haired girl was rather formal when she addressed him. Mister Matsuo would have been his grandfather because even his father hated to be called Mister Matsuo. The thing that really shocked Iccho was how direct she was with asking what his quirk was. This was exactly the situation he wanted to avoid, it would give away his element of surprise. He also assumed that others would be listening when he told Eir his quirk. He wasn't going to stoop so low with lying to her, but he also wanted to keep his quirk at least somewhat of a secret.

With that he turned towards Eir in such a that she would be the only one who could see his face. He let a spin grow out of the tip of his index finger and made the shushing gesture. Even if his quill power leaked out, his toxic ability will stay hidden. He smiled at the little girl and said, "My power isn't too impressive, but I think I demonstrated it pretty well. Now if you don't mind me asking, what's your quirk?" With that Iccho retracted his quill from his finger and winced a little when it went back in. It never felt natural to retract his quills, even though he could. This feeling of awkwardness continued with this straight forward with someone, but if Eir was going to be it only felt fair for Iccho.

The group quickly moved through the Great Hall and into the other side of campus where all the training facilities were set up. The arena was massive compared to what Iccho was expecting. It looked like it could fit his entire town in there with room to spare. The group walked up to the arena and Iccho opened the door. It let out a huge gust of cool air as Iccho took the first step inside. The entrance felt like a Tosu Stadium, the only football field he had ever been to. Unlike Tosu Stadium, this arena was circular and what seemed like a retractable roof.

"Let's look for an elevator or a map or a teacher to point us in the right direction. Are we still looking for a boxing ring or do we want to show off our quirks to each other? Or both." Iccho added that little fragment with the hope of seeing each other's quirks in a relaxed environment. It could be a good way to bond with one another and it will lead toward building trust within the group.

Iccho was happy that everyone was in favor of heading towards the training facilities, and even more so with the fact Dante challenged Jefferson to an official match. That was until, basically everyone pointed out the flaws in that event actually happening. The students have no idea if they are already ranked or if there will be special examinations to put them in order to begin the semester. At least there was still the opportunity to see the other's quirks in action. The was the problem that a faculty member might have to escort us to the training facility, but Iccho was quite sure that they have free reign on campus.

"I'm pretty sure we don't need an escort, but I also wouldn't be surprised if there were faculty members all over campus to make sure no one gets into too much troube," Iccho yelled back at the group since he was already pretty far ahead of them. "Anyway, they will be able to answer if there can be official challenges or not. I'm pretty sure the training facility is the circular building with the green roof." Iccho kept walking and hoping the others would take the hint. If their group doesn't make it their first it will be completely crowded.

He walked under the threshold of the front gate and was in awe of the campus. Iccho had never seen anything like this place before and he was looking forward to training here for the foreseeable future. In front of him was what seemed like the main building for classes with a giant clock tower on top of the building. Iccho was pretty sure that if they cut through the main hall of the lecture building then it will lead right to the training facility.

Before he started his way toward the buildings however, Iccho looked back at the group which he will eventually have to call his friends. They were definitely a more eclectic than Iccho had ever met before. A girl with pink hair, a rich boy, an American, and a girl that terrified Iccho. A small smile crept across his face as the sun hit his face. God, he couldn't wait to start classes.

Iccho listened closely to the Vice Principal and Principal speak to the new students. The whole system about challenges to improve ones rank intrigued Iccho, however the reward of having better living accommodations didn't really appeal to him. Since he spent fortnights at a time on a ship, Iccho was use to cramped quarters and low quality meals. A simple life is what Iccho would always look for and he is not going to risk being expelled just to improve his life. However, ranking up higher will put him in the eye of better heroes. This will put him in better situations to improve as a hero when he gets a sidekick position. Iccho decided that he would challenge after the first round of challenges happen so he can do proper research. He will also have to make sure that he limits his powers if he does not need to go all out.

Iccho was thinking so far ahead that he didn't even realize what the principal said until the permission to explore the grounds piqued his interest. He could go find his dorm, or explore the training grounds, or try to talk to some of the teachers to figure out what the school will be like. Before he had a chance to raise his voice with his ideas, the foreigner raised the option of finding something bad. Iccho was not sure if he should take that statement seriously, or if it was facetious. Then Dante questioned him about his boxing.

"If you guys are interested in boxing and doing something, we could go find the training center. We could see what kind of equipment we are working with and if there is even a boxing ring." This would be a good opportunity to see what some of the fellow students had hidden up their sleeves. Iccho stood up after his suggestion and started walking towards the gate which were starting to open.
