Guarded in the sense that he keeps a lot about himself and his thoughts to himself, internalizing them, which also lends itself to him being very introspective about people he encounters. Putting up walls is also a bit of a habit from the natural indecisive nature of Daichi’s whole identity, feeling torn between two sides he can’t seem to choose or what might be the [i]real[/i] him. As a result of this, he put up walls so he makes decisions in how to interact with others.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=add8e6][b]Indecisive[/b] [COLOR=#807B84]Simply put, Daichi can’t seem to make up his mind about who he is, how he acts, or what his “main” personality should be. On one hand, you have the very approachable Daichi that greets you with a smile, asks about how your day is going, and invests in the conversation. This is what might be referred to as the side that represents his mother and this is the version of Daichi that tends to say what’s on his mind (if he deems the situation to be appropriate). On the other hand, the aloof, sometimes cold version of Daichi is distant and quiet. Not shy, but not quite sociable. This Daichi takes time with his words, analyzes the situation and sometimes, it may come off as unnatural and random. This would be his interpretation of his father’s rather crude, analytical way of acting. Truth be told, this is just an extension of Daichi’s inability to know how he should act and always draws from his parents and how they acted around him in his upbringing.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=add8e6][b]Sincere[/b] [COLOR=#807B84]Despite the two-sided nature of his mannerisms, Daichi is always sincere in how he acts, what he says, and whenever he does it. This is possibly his true personality, even if he does not understand it completely himself. Daichi is always so earnest and there’s never any deceit in his actions or words. The smile he wears, no matter the initial reason or the reason he uses to explain it, is always a genuine one. At his core, Daichi is a confused boy with a heart of gold and grounded on the stable ground that he is full of love and compassion. It’s just that his brain struggles to understand how the rest of him should act.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [/SUP][/indent][/hider] [/cell][cell][b]Physical Description[/b] [color=#807B84]Everything about Daichi is about as average as one gets. Among his peers, he is seen as short since most of them tower over him, but he’s always thought of his 5’5” height to be normal for someone like him. People always have their opinions and they’ve always been as harsh as Hokkaido winters. His sandy blonde hair and deeper golden eyes have always stood out. Something he inherits from his mother without a doubt. He’s a fairly lean boy with not much going for him in the way of muscle.[indent] [/indent][/color] [b]Personal History[/b] [color=#807B84][indent] [/indent]Ever since Daichi was young, he always had certain difficulties. It wasn't just because he was the only son of two pro heroes who operated out of Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan nor was it because when they weren't around, Daichi was raised by a rotating door of nannies, butlers, and sitters. Yeah, he grew up wealthy because his parents did well for themselves: Ice General and Mother Nature, one of the few husband-wife duos of heroes. No, the reason that Daichi struggled was, early on, he displayed behavioral issues. He wasn't temperamental or needy or really anything like that. As a young boy, he was fairly mild compared to other kids his age in similar backgrounds. His issues were behavioral because, as professionals examined him, while he proved to be normal in most areas, what these professionals deduced was that Daichi showed signs of having an unique form of split personality disorder where instead of two separate identities living in the same mind, his ability to distinguish who he is [i]really[/i] was divided among two core people: his parents. Over the years, Yukino Yukiyama and Shizen Chikyu, otherwise known by their hero names Ice General and Mother Nature respectively had tried their best to ensure their son got all the help he could. They hired the best therapists, gave him everything he needed: love, attention, but they could only do so much. Eventually, as it would turn out, Daichi's problems and the further ones that he'd face in the future, would be in his hands especially as his quirk had manifested when he was eight years old. A freezing quirk at its core that only worked on natural ground. A fitting quirk for someone who comes from the lineage that he does. With the tools at his disposal, Daichi was enrolled into the best elementary school that his parents could find. He ended up making friends, though some took issue to his unique personality (or lack thereof). Bullies became the norm, but no matter what, he always wore a smile. Torture was the name of the game in the cold, cold world of elementary school and kids were as cold as the winters in Sapporo, yet Daichi never wavered. His smile and apparent optimism persisted. He endured like the cold he grew up in, always remained grounded in the one thing he come to discover about himself. It wasn't the whole package to his identity and he didn't know if he'd ever know that for himself, but sincerity was key. Sincerity was the only way you could survive in the face of despair. This helped him through the last years of elementary and middle school until he took the entrance exams for Isshin Academy. While he didn't pass with complete flying colors, what he did pass with was enough to pass the written exam. The next stage was even more difficult but Daichi persisted. He faced the adversity with a smile. Someday, he would know who he was meant to be. Whether that's grounded like his mother or cold like his father. He'd face it as The Sincere Hero.[/color] [b]Character Arc[/b] [color=#807B84]Daichi is a character who was born in the middle of two forces pulling at him. One represents his father, the cool, powerful hero who always knows what to say and never lets his emotions get the better of him, while one represents his mother: a nurturing, sensitive soul who is a master at PR and public speaking. These two sides of what influenced him the most were always something that divided him in more ways than one. Eventually, it divided his personality and shook his confidence, splitting it right down the middle. His whole journey is about being decisive about himself. Who is Daichi? Is he the in-charge man that his father shows or is he the attentive friend with a heart that matches sincerity? This is his character arc. By understanding who he is and who his true self is, Daichi will be able to grow stronger as a person. He is useless if his foundation is as unstable as his ability to make a decision about something so simple as an everyday interaction.[indent] [/indent][/color] [b]Quirk Description[/b] [color=#807B84][color=lightblue][b]Altered Tundra[/b][/color] is a quirk that is both literal to its name and more complex than the name implies. At its core, Daichi's quirk can rapidly decrease the core temperature in the ground, freezing it solid by the physical touch of his feet. By decreasing the temperature, he literally [i]alters[/i] the ground, making it both solid and brittle enough to be easily broken (depending on what his intentions are). Daichi can control the state of its hardness, though going between the hardened ice state and making it brittle like an icepick about to snap off a ceiling in winter takes time to do so effectively. With the combined elemental quirks his parents have - his father's absolute zero quirk and his mother's control over natural ground - the perfect marriage between the two have taken shape in his own. Daichi knows he lacks in some areas and because of his lack of mastery, specifically being able to shift between brittle and solid ice, he has a long way to go. As it stands now, he can only extend his quirk to five feet in any direction of him but only either with brittle ice that wouldn't take much to completely obliterate or the kind of dense frost on the ground that one might find on a frozen body of water in the winter. Maintaining either take an immense amount of concentration, something of which requires Daichi to remain as stationary as possible. If he doesn't, the stability of what he has frozen - brittle or firm - may be compromised and just shatter within seconds. [indent] [/indent][/color] [/cell][/row][/table][/COLOR]
