Rude and uncaring at the worst of times, he's about as close to a bully as the school gets, swinging verbal insults at other students and disobeying the teachers when he feels he can get away with it. In spite of this, he has incredible social and academic smarts, is very resourceful, picks up on subtlest of cues, and has a passion for efficiency. However, due to his pride and his less than hospitable nature, these talents aren't usually shared with others, even getting to a point where his anger could make him shortsighted. If he wants to become a successful hero, he needs to quit with the attitude. That, and have the drive to become a decent hero in the first place. Also hates mutants.[/indent] [color=springgreen][b]HISTORY[/b][/color] [indent]Kagayaku Kimiko is not our young "hero's" name by birth, but it is one he needs to become familiar with, and quickly. He was born to a poor family in Roppongi, his father and mother both caught up in a life of crime, both of them born with Quirks. His mother, also by the name of Kimiko, has the Quirk Glow: a simple Quirk where one's skin glows a luminescent colour depending on their mood. His father, Dogorasu, has the Quirk Bones: his broken bones give him enhanced physical strength, and heal much faster than normal. This unique combination lead to the conception of Kagayaku, whose strange upbringing gifted him a unique perspective on life and how to live it. His parents never tried to hide their careers from their child, knowing full well the shock from such a secret would cause him to panic if word ever got out. Instead, they persuaded him that their way of living was a result of poor decision making and plain old bad luck, begging for his understanding. Kagayaku trusted in his parents -- who wouldn't at that age -- and adopted their line of thinking. Though never able to help with the big things, he would steal from other kids and bully students out of food or lunch money, doing what he had to in order to help put bread on the table. He was pretty successful too, using a mask with a hat, thick clothes, short hair and by picking out the weaker students, those that wouldn't tell. His parents, proud of their son's willingness to help, endorsed the behaviour, but encouraged he keep up a good academic record, both to ensure a good future and so he wouldn't arouse suspicion. Later on in life, things became harder for the family as a whole. Kagayaku met his match one day after he picked a fight with someone his own size - a mutant who happened to have friends who had been in similar situations before and were willing to stick their neck out for a friend. Due to his academic record he was spared being expelled but wouldn't be able to help his parents out now that his secret was out. Similarly, his mother had been caught during a particularly poor mugging and was arrested, and his father, shortly thereafter, was left unable to work due to injury. Due to this, his father used a friendly contact to get a loan, but without the ability to pay the loaners back, things became complicated quickly. Following his middle school graduation, Kagayaku came home to find his apartment caught on fire and his father nowhere to be found. Suddenly, he was on his own, left without answers to a great number of questions and with nobody to rely on. His old habits became his best friend, surviving on the streets, doing what he could to get by. It only got more complicated after a chance encounter with the Yakuza. Despite surviving the encounter, it didn't do him any good; they were after him, and it threw him into a panic. Suddenly he became so much more aware of himself, what he did in public, whether or not someone was following close behind. The stress of it all began to build as the enormous force of the Japanese underbelly crawled up to grab him by the ankles, the young man only able to get by thanks to his craftiness and creativity. Not only that, but high school was fast approaching, despite not wanting to be easily accessible, he still wanted to respect his parents wishes of a good education. All of these factors combined, Kagayaku began to consider taking hero school as a potential way forward. Which brings us to one Kagayaku Kimiko arriving at U.A. in a girl's uniform. Under his fake name and fake clothes, he has signed up for hero school with a fake ID and fake documents, utilising a fake background to bypass systems that impede on his fake dream of becoming a hero, all to escape a very real, very dangerous threat. Make as little friends as possible, learn as much as he can, do what he needs to in order to get by. Screw becoming a hero or upholding justice. [i]Survival comes first.[/i][/indent] [color=springgreen][b]The Glowing Quirk: Glowstick[/b][/color] [indent][b]Short Quirk explanation:[/b] Whenever Kimiko 'cracks' a part of his body, such as knuckles or knees, he emits a soft glow of luminescent light. This glow lasts between 12 and 24 minutes, depending on temperature. His hair also glows constantly for some reason, with streaks that are particularly strong here and there.[/indent] [color=springgreen][b]OTHERS[/b][/color] [indent][b]Likes:[/b] - His parents - Academics - Video games - [s]Girls clothes[/s][/indent] [indent][b]Dislikes:[/b] - Mutants - Sports and fitness - Socialising - [s]Menswear[/s][/indent] [center][img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/1c2406c0569df700ff7cf353e974cb50/tumblr_ovvrwneDg71v4x3bwo1_500.gif[/img][/center][/hider]
