[hider=Noah Acosta, The Truest of Diamonds in the Rough][img]https://i.imgur.com/Z4tclQj.png[/img] [color=ed1c24]"Don't you worry about me, now. Let [i]me[/i] worry about me."[/color][hr][h3][b][u]Personal Information[/u][/b][/h3][hr][b]Name:[/b] Noah Acosta [b]Superhero Name:[/b] [b]Age:[/b] 15 [b]Date of Birth:[/b] November 26 [hider=Appearance:]As typical of a "trap", Noah tends to take advantage of his feminine features, and commonly dresses as a girl as a result. His shorter-than-average height and light build blend in well with the female populace, him only standing at 163cm (5' 4") and weighing in at 57kg (125lbs). The top portion of his chest is suspiciously soft to the touch, but the curvature to his body [i]is[/i] there, with a BWH ratio of 20-17-18 if measured in inches and 51-43-46 if measured in centimeters. Noah wears a pink top with some simple lacing in the sleeves, which he puts over top of a thickly sewn navy blue tank top, and a pair of brown shorts that go halfway down the thighs, with some running shoes and white socks on his feet. Noah also has his fingernails and toenails polished red and occasionally wears lipstick.

He always tries to have a smile on his face, and he generally has a friendly, easy-going demeanor most of the time. He shows enough enthusiasm in this regard as well, leading others to believe that he's happy with his life, and that there's not a lot that he would change, assuming he had the power to change anything at all. However, while it seems as though he's putting on a pretty damn potent facade, it's a facade that Noah's putting on nonetheless. Deep down, he has anxiety issues regarding his Quirk, fearing that he could maim or even kill innocent people. True, the whole reason why he's here in Chihaiten Academy is so that he can control his Quirk so that that never comes to light, but he's not so confident he can pull it off. There are so many parameters to Noah's Quirk that he [i]has[/i] to keep in check in order to safely wield it, and these parameters are constantly on his conscience at all times. Between those and concerns that he'll be accepted for a few choices in lifestyle (with what being transgender and all), this causes a great deal of stress on Noah. While his bubbly attitude may lead others to believe that he shrugs it off, he really cannot; the stress is always there in the back of his mind, and all he can do is feign that everything's OK when the contrary is true. When it comes to choices, Noah can be somewhat indecisive, and when he's presented with two different options, he'll choose the one that everyone most favors or is the least opposed to most of the time. Alternatively, he'll try to think of a third option that can serve as a mid-ground play, in the hopes that neither side's supporters are too heavily disappointed. This shows that public opinion has a great sway on his ability to make decisions, as he wants to minimize the number of people whose bad side he gets on as much as humanly possible. However, he's not [i]completely[/i] spineless. He's done quite the number of selfless acts in the past, not one of which he's come to regret. And despite his overwhelming anxiety issues, Noah is always seen to be putting on his brave face, taking them on in his stride.[/hider][hider=Biography:]Noah Acosta was born with two X chromosomes in him and a Y chromosome in him, and as a result, he could have been either gender [i]really[/i]. The gender that Noah would ultimately become was a decision that was [i]supposed[/i] to fall on the parents the moment such information was relayed to them... but they could never agree on that term. The father, Gideon Acosta, had wanted a son for the longest time, whereas the mother, who was formerly Cameron Figueroa before adopting the Acosta name, insisted that Noah be the couple's first daughter. Cameron and Gideon eventually settled for allowing Noah to decide what to identify as when he grew up. That... proved to be a mistake, to put things lightly. Noah was initially all for becoming a girl when his parents finally popped the all-important question, but before the doctors could complete the surgical procedure that was necessary to "transform" him, per se, he changed his mind at the last second, although he stuck with the alterations they'd performed on him thus far out of pity for all the hard work they did. Aside from the botched surgery, Noah had nothing about him that really stood out. His Quirk remained dormant for the longest of time, leaving many to believe he was Quirkless. Between that and the whole "transgender vibe" he had going for him, it wasn't surprising at all that Noah would be on the receiving end of one's typical middle school bullying tirade. And of course, all the bullies were Quirk Users; except [i]their[/i] Quirks would've likely been awakened quite some time ago... long enough that they'd knew what they were doing with them, at least. Incidentally, although the trio of bullies had made Noah among the very first of their personal victims, they weren't just targeting Noah. They would beat down all kinds of students, some Quirkless like Noah was believed to be, and others with lesser Quirks who couldn't adequately defend themselves. However, Noah's Quirk had finally activated at the age of 14, when he came to the defense of a girl much younger than himself, whose Quirk had also yet to "unlock". It was more than enough to scare the trio off once it finally broke out of dormancy, but Noah immediately lost control of his Quirk the moment it activated, inflicting lacerations on the three bullies as they retreated, some on the girl that Noah was trying to protect, and even a lot more on Noah himself as he rushed to provide cover for her. Due to the loss of control over his Quirk, Noah was ordered by court of law to report a successful admission into a qualified Hero School within the month, lest he be tracked down and his Quirk forcibly removed. At first, he tried getting into the one everyone knew and loved; U.A. High School. He only scored 75 Villain Points in the practical entrance exam due to the the robots that were worth more points being sniped by other contestants, and he had a net score of absolutely zero Hero Points at all; while this certainly wasn't for a lack of trying, he was constantly penalized for collateral damage inflicted by his Quirk, which undid everything that he'd earned the Hero Points for. This ultimately caused Noah to fail the entrance exam despite a passable grade in the written portion. However, seemingly understanding of Noah's predicament, the representative of U.A. did give the young wannabe Hero a list of other certified Hero Schools that she'd recommend he try and enroll for. Unfortunately, by "list" the representative had only written the names of four Schools, with Chihaiten Academy being right at the very bottom. Assuming that the list was in the order of most highly recommended, Noah started at the top and worked his way down like that was the logical choice. However, the other Hero Schools, while initially impressed with the demonstration of Noah's Quirk that he was asked to give, they reconsidered the application when he lost control of it each time again, fearing that it would ultimately serve too much of a liability. However, it was Chihaiten Academy that gave Noah the break that he desperately needed, accepting his application and officially enrolling him as one of their students. However, even to this day, Noah still doesn't feel very safe handling his Quirk. He figured he'd might as well make the most of his stay, but he wouldn't blame if they felt obligated to send him away again. After all, he'd been through this song and dance so many times before with the other Hero Schools that he tried to apply for. He only had one shot at this. One opportunity.[/hider][hr][h3][b][u]Quirk Information[/u][/b][/h3][hr][b]Name:[/b] Gemstone Heart [b]Type:[/b] Emitter [b]Breakdown:[/b] With this Quirk, Noah can materialize any number of gemstones of many different colors, all within a 300 meter radius of his current position. This includes [i]above[/i] him as well; either directly above him or off to one side or slightly forward or backward. He can also manipulate the gemstones that he'd already generated with this Quirk, moving them left, right, up, down, backwards or forwards, having them levitate in place, granting them the ability to resist force placed upon them or hold one's weight etc. However, this Quirk only shows activity when Noah's heart is beating at a rate that's above his own normal resting rate... and the exact rate his heart is currently beating at seems to dictate how many gemstones will materialize or can be manipulated at a time. Once Noah's heart returns to resting rate, the gemstones that were created by this Quirk will usually vanish into thin air, although those that have had contact with blood or debris will remain behind. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] Noah is one of only a select handful of Quirk Users that can take damage from their own Quirk. This is especially concerning when one takes into account the scarce amount of time Noah had to try and get used to his Quirk as opposed to other Quirk Users. While gemstones can materialize anywhere within the 300 meter radius from Noah, Noah has no control over where each individual gemstone actually appears; as such, he won't know where they've "spawned" until he sees them. Furthermore, Noah cannot actually influence any that are more than 60 meters away from him at any point in time. However, those that have "spawned" that far away will usually mirror most of the ones that he's currently manipulating. As his heartbeat draws nearer to its maximum, more and more vigilance is demanded of Noah to ensure that neither he nor the wrong ally get injured from his Quirk. If he ever receives a spike in his heart rate, whether it's due to a panic attack, excitement over his Quirk actually working as he intends it to or otherwise, Noah risks losing control of his Quirk in its entirety, and if he does, he cannot regain control of it until his heart rate drops back down into a more manageable level.

However, he never actively seeks romance for himself, instead preferring to see who would want to come to [i]him[/i]. [*] Noah suffers (to an extent) from tachycardia, meaning that his heart beats abnormally quickly. His normal resting heart rate clocks in at anywhere between 126 and 132 beats per minutes, and the highest it can reach before verging into heart attack territory is 219. [*] While Noah was born in Shinjuku, the same can't be said for either of his parents. Gideon was birthed in a town that was a fair ways into Australia's Outback, and Cameron was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia. They both met in Chiba the day after the Tohoku tsunami struck, assisting the relief efforts in their own ways.
