He simply wants to help his family escape poverty. Elpoy may seem laid-back at first glance, but he is surprisingly very hardworking. Aside from that, he is quick witted and hardy. He does not complain no matter what, and he even turns down help that is offered to him. He also feels uneasy when surrounded by pretty women. Elpoy does speak English. He just...isn't very good at it. [hr] [h3]The Story[/h3] [hider=boring story do not read] Elpoy Diaz was born in some unidentified slum in the Filipino city of Manila. His father, Armando Diaz, was a construction worker who lived on [i]pan de sal[/i] and instant coffee. His mother, Victorina Diaz, was a housewife who looked after the house while his father would do his work. He lived a humble life, and he studied his way into high school. Elpoy discovered his quirk at a young age. His father, who had a similar quirk, helped Elpoy develop his talent. Soon, Elpoy would help his father in construction work. He never thought of being a hero, since he did not want all the publicity that the actors and politicians would get. He wanted to become an engineer at first, so that he could design buildings and landmarks. Elpoy's father soon found work in the the USA. He worked at a grocery store, and earned significantly more from his new job. Elpoy was pressured to get used to speaking the English language, but he got used to it. Elpoy lived a quiet life until one fateful day. One day, Elpoy was bullied by a gang of teenage deliquents for having such a ridiculous accent. He got into a street fight, and he defeated the entire gang of unwary teenagers by storm. Some guy who worked for the academy noticed Elpoy's great talent. He introduced himself as Antonino De Jesus, a janitor at the facility. He referred Elpoy to a prestigious hero program located in New York City. Elpoy's parents were excited, since they were at the verge of escaping poverty. Elpoy was reluctantly sent to the academy at his parents' request. Sure, he did not want all the publicity, but he swore that he would get his family out of poverty. From there, his journey started. [/hider] [hr] [b]Quirk: "Structural Manipulation"[/b] My own take on Edward Elric's ability. Ever heard of [i]Fullmetal Alchemist?[/i] When Elpoy comes into contact with a solid object, he may manipulate its structure. For example, he can cause a solid wall of concrete to grow spikes or shapeshift into the shape of a giraffe with much focus. Elpoy does this simply by emitting some sort of vibrant energy in the solid object. The quirk may only be used within a circular area with a diameter of 10 meters, and transmutations must start at the point of contact. Another major drawback to the quirk is that solid objects are bound by the Law of Conservation of Mass, and Elpoy can not create things out of thin air. He can project walls out of the floor of a basketball court, but he cannot terraform the entire building without using an inhuman amount of effort. Still, Elpoy's quirk leaves lots of room for improvisation, and he can use it in many ways, whether he is in combat or not.
