[hider=Hirohiko Yamabuki]
Decided to submit this character for consideration instead of my wind-based character, for the sake of more potential power diversity. I hadn't heard back from the other wind-based applicant about the potential of having similar powers. I also think personality-wise he might be a bit more interesting to play.

[list]
Insecure about his worth as a Hero and a Person
Thinks his Quirk is Worthless
Wants to Help, But Freezes Up or Falls Over Every Time
Wants to be a Well Liked Hero like his Mom, But Afraid of What Happened to Her.

[list]Around 152cm tall or slightly under five feet tall, Hirohiko is a perpetual sloucher ontop of his short height except for his most determined moments. He seems not to have grown or matured much while the rest of his classmates shot up around him, though to him it's just another reason to feel uneasy. He has black hair with one stubborn cowlick and brown eyes that alternately seem like dull dead wood when he's depressed and smolder a bit brighter when he's determined. He's not very athletic as much due to lack of confidence as lack of size and as a result his physique is a little weaker in terms of muscle than average. He favors clothes that don't really call attention to himself in any way and feels more comfortable fading into the background and letting others overlook him. [/list]

Hirohiko's Quirk is 'Mass Effect', the ability to manipulate his personal density. Currently when Mass Effect is activated Hirohiko's density  increases exponentially until he's extremely heavy and too dense for his own strength and sense of balance to keep him upright if he attempts to move. Fortunately the increase in density and weight corresponds to an increased durability as his skin, bones etc all become correspondingly dense and tough, so these incidents of freezing up or falling over rarely result in injuries. With time he should be able to control the degree to which his density increases or even make himself lighter and less dense to allow for increased speed and jumping ability and perhaps even the ability to ride air currents. 

At the moment however, he doesn't have full control over his powers and can only become extremely dense. Perhaps due to past trauma, he also tends to become dense on reflex if he becomes frightened or over-excited, essentially during times of extreme emotion.

[list]Hirohiko is average in grades and subpar in athletics, though in that case partly because his Quirk activates whenever he gets too nervous or overexcited, pretty much stopping him in his tracks or making him fall over whenever he'd be about to accomplish anything athletically. As a result of repeated failures in front of his peers and his perceived lack of self-worth he's given up on most extra-curricular activities. He enjoys quiet solitary hobbies where it doesn't matter so much if he freezes up for a bit like drawing, reading and gardening.[/list]

[list]Ideally I'd like to develop him from a no-confidence having wreck who can't get past his fears over what happened to his mother into a confident, effective young Hero in training who wants to live up to her legacy. He'd start out unable to use his Quirk in any meaningful way except as self-defense, but with time, training and confidence he'd be able to move past his mental blocks and training obstacles and come up with a wide variety of applications for it in terms of combat and support. I think it'd also be neat to see about trying to turn him from someone who's overlooked and perhaps pitied by his peers into an equal over the course of the story. [/list]
