Villains beware, you're in for a scare. Do you hear the crows calling?
Name: Desmond Saintcloud
Hero Name: Stitch and Sew
Age: 15 | Nationality: Canadian | Rank: 31
(Was held back a year when his quirk manifested, making it difficult for him to walk)
: Desmond stands tall at over 7 feet, a stature only achieved by his quirks changes on his physical body. Every inch of his skin is living 'hay' or something extremely similar in texture made of living tissue. While they are indeed very tall despite Desmonds age, they can be shorter if they so chose by restructuring their body as they please thanks to their quirk, though it is a far from pleasant experience.
Costume: Ragged black clothes, a large brimmed hat, and a ragged straw cape
Personality: Desmond is what the educated may refer to as 'psychotic'. Their mannerisms are often crude, their way of speaking can shift from polite to dismissive to aggressive within seconds based on the topics coming to light. While this is often a problem that creates friction between himself and his peers, it is alarmingly clear that he has others' best interests at heart. They will often put themself in a situation that lets someone else escape.
There are other more sinister parts to the scarecrow child that some have noticed as 'concerning'. Desmond has an obsession with the wounded, more specifically the process of needle and thread. To see the wounded literally put back together, one stitch at a time. Now the obvious interest in the medical field of surgery is clearly a good thing for an aspiring Hero-to-be to learn but that obsession coupled with the properties of his quirk has earned him the nickname 'stitches' because they like to sew things together..
Quirk: Scarecrow!
Type: Mutant
Effect: Desmonds quirk is a peculiar one. The changes to his anatomy from the ground up are a mystery. The most noticable part of his quirk is he is made of straw, with its length, strength, flexibility, every last aspect of each individual strand is controllable though it is taxing to do so.
The most major part of Desmonds mutation is the blue slime that acts as his 'organs' or bones, so to speak. Straw is produced through this gelatinous ooze. What is most peculiar is the slimes properties when applied outside of Desmonds body, acting as a replacement to their bone structure and internal organs.
The amount of slime Desmond can use up at any given time in miniscule, as it is needed to be converted into straw. When fully used up, Desmond will need time to regenerate the required amount of slime to begin moving again.
History: Scare*grow*ing was a lomg process. Born with a body og straw was difficult to navigate for a child. His body lacked a normal bone structure and it made learning to walk a far longrr process requiring special care as they developed and learned to move unassisted. Desmonds parents were concerned his motor skills were not up to par until he was five, causing them to miss a years worth of school.
Now the real meat of his childhood was school life when finally put into it, being something of a scary looking child. Bullying, taunting, threats from teachers concerning his behavior, the usual bag of tragedy that befalls those with a 'villainout look' like Desmond. Even with adversity in their way from the misguided or mistrustful, Desmond tried to be social and friendly until junior high when they began to see videos on the internet of live surgeries. Lacking blood of his own it was fascinating to see and inspired them to use their quirk a little differently. The fascination quickly became an unfortunate sort of obsession. Desmond explains that the precision and life saving application of his straw when made thin enough to be used as thread was the real reason he liked it, but few believe it.
Exam Report: Desmonds participation in the exams was nothing truly spectacular to see. Robots were quickly put to the scrap pile through his quirk finding seems in their metal plating and jamming their gears through density manipulation. What was truly terrifying was the scarecrow mans aptitude for 'sewing' himself back together when his reckless charges seemingly endangered their life.
