[h3]Personal Dossier[/h3][hr][sub][color=orange][b]Name[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]Watanamiya Rikuo[/indent]
[sub][color=orange][b]Age[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]15[/indent]
[sub][color=orange][b]Origin[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]Fujidera, Osaka[/indent]
[sub][color=orange][b]Physical Description[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]Rikuo, true to his artistic nature, has gone wild with his own appearance. He dyed his brown hair blond only a few days before entering the academy, and his eyes are a bright orange - though that is natural. His hair is naturally messy as he doesn't bother fixing it up as it just takes more time off that what is needed. Despite what most would think, Rikuo has a lean and athletic body. He carries himself with confidence and assumes his full height of 5'6" and seems to be growing taller by the year. [/indent]
[sub][color=orange][b]Characterization[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]Rikuo is a highly individualistic person who doesn't go with a decision if he doesn't want to. He couldn't care less about what others think of him nor does he have any wish to do so in the near future. He's rather confident about himself, his talents and what he is right now and doesn't let anyone put him down. While his stubborness isn't as prevalant as others where he won't back down, it would take a lot of time to convince him to think another way once he's rooted himself in an opinion. Though he can be more easily swayed if he considers you a good friend as he trusts his friends to know what is best for him.

While he isn't quick to call people 'good friends', he considers acquaintances whom he talked to for a few times his friends as well. He is friendly and approachable when he isn't absorbed in painting or drawing. He can easily strike up conversation with anyone as long as they are willing. He tries to make as many friends as he can since it's rather nice to have people around. Though sometimes, he has a tendency to put people off when he starts to speak. He has little to no mind to mouth filter and he says the truth about what he feels. He doesn't believe in white lies. The cold and harsh truth is where he's always been as he grew up being faced with critiques who tell him everything without even thinking of his feelings. So much so that he feels like it is the normal thing to do.

Rikuo has always wanted to try out new things, whether it be bad for him or not. He would decide that once he's tried it but would rarely reject a new idea before he could attempt to do it. This can lead to a lot of trouble, and he wholeheartedly accepts that. But at least he can say that he's done it once. Though he does have some semblance of common sense and would reject those that go against his moral compass, but those are few in between. He doesn't seem to care much for rules implented by outside sources, which can cause a lot of friction with the higher ups.

[sub][color=orange][b]Personal History[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]Not much can be said for Rikuo's past that is different from the others. Living in Fujidera wasn't the most exciting of things and having two parents with quirks who never thought to use it for the betterment of society led to Rikuo's life being incredibly stale and boring. His only escape was painting and this led him to places far beyond what he has imagined. With the child's painting being put up in children art competitions, he has been given chances to go and see the other parts of Japan.

When he was 10 and in Tokyo for another competition, he had witnessed a battle between a hero and a villain. Thoroughly impressed and inspired, he decided he wanted to become a hero - leaving his artistic career behind in favor of training for a hero school. His parents weren't happy with this, but soon came to accept it. He wanted to become a hero people looked up to and inspired others, and he planned to not let anything stop him from fulfilling this dream.

[sub][color=orange][b]Character Development & Conceptualization[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]I wanted to play around with the impulsive and easygoing type of character and admittedly this type of quirk as well. It clicked when I saw that Ishin Academy is strict about discipline and I want to see how a character who's always been 'free' would feel and act once the shackles come on. I'd also like to see how others would percieve him as, considering his personality and how they'd come to accept or reject him because of how he doesn't go with the flow of the people if it doesn't either benefit or interest him.

I also want to see how long he will hold out once he sees and undergoes the training needed to become a hero. He stuck with art for so long because of how he was a natural at it. His training as a child was basic, something he could actually do without much effort, but faced against this, his dream as a hero might waver or might seem too distant for him. I want to see how I could push him to put a lot more effort and a lot more time into being a hero - or maybe someone could guide him along the way. Someone he can potentially bond with, or even just look up to, so that he would continue with his dream.

He also needs to be very fluid for his quirk to work and I want to see him train and develop his quirk more into something useful. For now, he's more of a long range, support type of role when it comes to fights. Though eventually, I do plan on him becoming a sort of hit and run type of character. His quirk can also become useful to those who can manipulate that kind of substance, and would most likely provide others with it should they need to also use their quirks for maximum advantage.

[sub][color=orange][b]Quirk Type[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]Emitter[/indent]
[sub][color=orange][b]Quirk Description[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent]His quirk has been aptly named [color=orange]Artistic Dream[/color], a combination of his parents' quirks which allows him to secrete paint from his arms to hands. He can then freely control this created paint - hardening them and using them as a flying projectile or as a weapon. He's been shown to be able to paint without a canvas - instead using his quirk to paint on air itself. As paint is a rather thick substance, the flow of secretion is slow which causes him to be conservative when it comes to fast paced fighting. Equipment could aid in preventing him from running out of paint to use.

His paint is rendered useless once it makes contact with something solid. It dries up rather quickly and he cannot pull it out once its there. He can also control the paint he produces around a twenty meter radius around him and while that is far, the further it goes, the harder it is to fluidly control it like he can when it's close to him. [/indent]
[sub][color=orange][b]Other Talents & Attributes[/b][/color][/sub]
[indent][u]Artist[/u] - He has some form of natural talent when it comes to painting, or even simple sketches. While he had been good enough to get into contests, he's only won a few so he isn't that good.

[u]Household Chores[/u] - Having two parents who work until the wee hours of the night, it was natural that he would become good at doing his own chores and buying his own things. 

[u]Photographic Memory[/u] - One of the reasons why he paints well, in his reasons, is because he can remember things well. He can 'capture' a moment in time and be able to recreate that in his paintings. So long as he makes an effort to do so, he can remember things rather easily. [/indent]
