Polaris North — Roleplayer Guild

I am also interested - more on the superhuman roleplay more than the OPM though - but all the same.

Flash Forward - B ranked Hero



Name: Shindo Tsubasa

Personality: Shindo typically has a passive attitude - uncaring and mostly doesn't involve himself in other people's business, though this isn't on purpose. He sees himself as a bystander - even in his own life. Because of his general uninvolvement in almost everything, he tends to pick up a lot of things - rumors, facts, dirty secrets - he typically stores them in his mind in case he has a sudden need for it. He does have friends and is quite sociable to be honest, often talking to other people when he sees them as interesting. He also listens to others or becomes a middle man in arguments but he was never part of these arguments wherein he was completely on one side; he was always neutral. For most of his life, he also was neutral in the battle between good and evil. He didn't seem to care who won, what the heroes were after, what the villains were after and who were involved in their affairs - that was, unless he became somehow involved in their battles.

He is quite a smart guy though. Despite his neutral and formal attitude, he is quite keen in reading between the lines, tones and facial expressions. He is often unaware whenever he does this and blurts out what he is thinking most of the time whether it was positive or negative. Because of this, he tends to know what the mood is but he usually doesn't stop when he knows he has to say something. These are only the times that Shindo gets involved in things but he tends to solve these quickly.

Shindo, as a hero, is still quite passive. He would often talk to villains in an extremely neutral voice - no fear, no anger, no glee, just neutrality. He helps out however he can and when he can. He isn't the best hero out there; he was not used to giving out advices, pep talking or cheering people up so he mainly focused on battle and saving others from physical harm. The most he could offer emotionally unstable people is his small smile. Though he doesn't share the reason why he became a hero, he is determined to reach that goal - the only goal he has. When it involves her in particular, he tends to focus his everything on that.

Brief History: Shindo was born to an ex-serial killer father and a normal, caring mother. He knew that his father killed before and that he was never caught by the police, but the guy never returned to a life of crime after his marriage to Shindo's mother. And so, his life went on normally. Having a great childhood life with a great childhood friend, everything went well for the young Shindo. When his powers manifested, he did not know what to do at first. While he was introduced to the prospect of being a hero considering that his power was quite a catch, he didn't seem to keen on the idea. Morals are weird things - who is the hero? Who is the villain? Are there heroes and villains? It's the reason why Shindo wasn't sure at first whether he wanted to become a hero or not.

It was when he was seventeen when things took a turn for the worse. His childhood friend, Yumi, had disappeared. No one knew where she went or what happened to her. You see, Yumi was the child of a tycoon and thus is very rich. People think she was kidnapped for ransom but no letter ever came. Shindo spent days looking for her in every nook and cranny of Japan. She was the only person he ever cared so much about besides his parents. He didn't want to lose her. It was a fact he cannot accept - the only fact he cannot accept. It became a rumor that there was a villain going by the name of "Black Goat" who claimed to have her. Shindo took the Hero Exam so he would be certified to look into it.

Abilities:
Superhuman Speed: As it says, he can go faster than any human - or even anything on Earth. His max speed reached over 600 kph but it is believed that he could go faster and even break the sound barrier. But he is still nervous on going any faster because he once felt like his own soul was slipping out of his body as if he was vaporizing. He stopped before he completely disappeared. Now, he is just increasing his speed little by little.
Superhuman Reflexes and Awareness: Because of his power over speed, his brain is rewired to think faster and thus act faster. He is able to react faster than any other human being. His brain also processes things much faster than a normal human can so he is able to process everything that is going on around him even if he is speeding through them at inhumane speeds.
Superhuman Stamina: He can handle great stresses on his body without much trouble thanks to being conditioned with all the running and faster reflexes that he does and has.
Accelerated Regeneration: Any bullet holes, tears and injuries tend to heal much more faster because of his cells duplicating at an increased pace and thus he can heal faster.
Enhanced Mental Process: The main reason why he does so well in school - his power tapped into his brain to process information. He can test theories and run trial and errors and inhumane speeds. What would take a normal person over minutes of trial and error, Shindo can process it in a few seconds.

Skills:
Lockpicking: Because his father was quite the skilled serial killer, Shindo was interested in learning the art of breaking in. Why, you ask? Well, it seems Shindo has some inherent evil within him. When he learned it, he would sometimes use it when he forgets where he placed a key for his locked up boxes. He never used it to actually break in.
Acrobatics: Because his power could only give him so much, he needed to be flexible and such. He is very skilled in using his body and he is quite strong. He could even qualify to enter a circus. It is also one of his most useful skills so he could dodge in a split second with only a few centimeters in between.
Musically Inclined: He plays the trombone quite well and is part of a concert band. He can play a number of other instruments - flute, guitar, drums, and the trumpet. He could probably learn some more but he has lost interest when Yumi disappeared.

Possible Goals: Find Yumi, beat the living hell out of whoever took her

Other: Because of his power, he needs to eat a lot more than a normal human should as to sustain himself. If he starves himself, he would be unable to use his power. He is also very clumsy in slippery surfaces where he would slip up - a common weakness for speedsters like him. When he's going too fast, he isn't able to make sharp turns quite easily and he would probably smash into a wall or something.
