[h3][hr][sup]"Mediocre grades and a mediocre attitude, to boot. Nothing seems horribly out of order, but... what business does he have becoming a hero?"[/sup][/h3][/center][right]— An uncited faculty member at Jigokuraku Academy.[/right][hr]
[hider][b]Name:[/b] 
Inoue Taro.

[b]Age:[/b] 
Fifteen (15).

[b]Height:[/b] 
5 feet and 11 inches.

[b]Weight:[/b] 
177 pounds.

[b]Build:[/b] 
Sturdy, horned.

[b]Quirk:[/b] 
Taro's quirk, [b]Horn Cascade[/b], is a transformation-type quirk that allows Taro to create shapes made from the horn-like protrusions spread across his body. The horns are spread across his body with the exception of his head, half-merged with his skin, which grow rapidly on demand.

[b]Description:[/b] 
At first glance, Taro doesn't look like an aspiring hero at all; hell, he doesn't even act like it. His face is almost permanently set into a glare and scowl, as if someone took a heat gun and shaped it that way. The set of horns on his forehead eluding to a certain biblical figure certainly doesn't help either, particularly with foreigners and the elderly. His disinterested, "let's get this over with" style demeanour certainly doesn't do him any favours either, need not mention his stark lack of charisma. So then begs the question: why would someone who doesn't fit the job description or even seem to care, want to become a hero?

Well, it'd be no fun if we gave it away so early, but let's talk about what led to the decision anyway! 

Taro grew up living between a pair of orphanages. His parents supposedly passed before he was old enough to know any better and he never got the details about the situation with the rest of his family. It wasn't at all tragic or the likes - he enjoyed living with all the other kids and the staff always treated him well enough. For him, life at the orphanages was just his life, just as a life in a household is the life of most children. But that's not what you came here to hear - you want to know why he's enrolling into Jigokuraku, don't you?

Taro was almost adopted a couple of times. He was never so hot on the idea: someone coming along playing the "saviour card", pulling him away from the way of life he knew and was happy with. The staff at the orphanage were so happy when he went away for the trial, though, so he just... went along with it. In the end, he ended up back at the orphanages both times. The first time he went away, pressure from other family members in the would-be adoptive family who were opposed to adoption succeeded in making the family give up, but the second time, Taro intentionally sabotaged it. You see, when Taro came back from his first time with a potential adoptive family, he was confused at all the sympathy he got. He was happy to be back at the orphanage, back [i]home[/i], but everybody else only felt sorry for him. 

Somewhere along the line, before he went to the second family, something fell into place in his mind: he was being defined by his lack of parents. When he realised it, it was the first time he was ever truly mad, but that gave way to something else: resolve. So began his obsession with heroes. So began his journey to Jigokuraku, included as part of a scattergun approach to finding his place in a hero course. So began his journey to becoming a hero.

So that leads to our big question: why does he want to become a hero? I thought I told you earlier - it'd be no fun if we gave it away so early![/hider]
