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 everyway. 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 to 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 overcompetitive “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 Tsushima, Nagasaki. This means that the whole new world of Kosei Academy will be a whole new experience for Iccho. His father was a fisherman and his mother 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 supervillain. 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. His first option was obviously H.A. High, but he was not able to pass the entrance exam due to his stubbornness when it came to working with others. He did not want to just go into general studies, so he decided to apply to Kosei Academy. It was a new school, and Iccho got into the hero course. 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 through 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 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.
