"Guess it isn't funny when it's on you, huh?"
BASICS Name: Kenji "Ken" Itami
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Personality: At the core of Kenji, he is self-destructive, but not in the obvious ways one would think. He has the awful tendency to hoard other people's struggles alongside his own; he holds a firm belief that his own happiness would be found in other people's joy and so prioritises on assisting them rather than focusing on his own duties. Because he is blinded by his own belief, he is unsure why he's always so restless and unsatisfied whenever he does help solve an issue -- so he ends up looking for more.
He hides his internal frustration and lack of with humour -- the common but non-surprising coping mechanism. An addition to this is his awful "fake it, till you make it" attitude he had adopted since the transition from primary to highschool. Its gotten him this far atleast.
Hero Name: Infliction
Hero Costume: A sleek black turncoat with a multitude of zippers outlining its exterior; stylish but functional, as each zipper has a pocket underneath to store things. Usually stored within them are foldable weapons, to bandaids and snacks. Lightweight but sturdy pauldrons rest on his shoulders.
A grey skintight full-body suit lays underneath his coat, shirt and pants. Large patches that have green medical signs sewed on them is located on his most exposed appendages; legs, arms and stomach. When pressed they release a soothing gel that numbs pain on the area. It only has a limited capacity and needs to be refilled after excessive use (it turns red when empty).
He has knee-high black combat boots and a tinted armoured visor (if you look closely, one could see little screen wipers in them).
PHYSICAL Height: 5'6"
Weight: 132.277 lbs -> 60kgs
Hair: Dirty blond with a blend of coca brown as the base.
Eyes: Chocolate brown
Physical description: Mesomorphic build; Kenji is often adorning thick clothes that cover the majority of his person The colour scheme of his wardrobe is lacks specifics, you could probably see the palette of the rainbow. His exposed skin seems to have an endless array of forgotten scars, and then there's the fresh pinkish-red superficial wounds.
QUIRK Quirk Type: Emitter
Quirk Name: Pain Transferral
Activation: Visual (eyes become white, with the pupils taking on a goldenrod hue)
Data: Allows the user to transfer the sensation of pain from their own injuries to someone within visual range. Only the sensation of pain will be transferred, not the actual wound. The quirk’s effects will stay for as long as the injury remains unhealed on the user’s own body, or can leave if the user wills it to. If the user wills it to leave, the sensation of pain will return to the user’s body. The user can only transfer their own pain, whether its mental,emotional or physical.
Drawbacks: The more pain transferred, the more energy will be used, and the more tired and drained the user will be. Their chances of faster recovery will be reduced.
Strengths: Useful for both long-range and close-range combat. Can be used to bring enemies down quickly- but at the cost of the user’s health. Ill-advised for endurance battles (can be used, but at the cost of user’s energy and health).
Weaknesses: If used too recklessly, the user may forget that they have injuries on their bodies and not seek medical attention in time.
HISTORY History:
Themes:
- His quirk stemmed mostly from his mother, or he'd come to the conclusion to. His mother's quirk was called Emotional Bonds, because she could share what she was feeling with who she touches. But his older brother, Kai,had dubbed it the Touch of Despair. An over-exaggeration, he believes, but as the years go by, he's only begun to think the effects of her quirk was why their father left without saying goodbye to him or Kai, and of his current behaviour.
- Kenji secretly detests his quirk as it sometimes inflicts his own internal conflicts onto others without his permission (he still has to get the hang of it during high stakes; the most obvious times are test situations). He'd been in a couple of scuffles because of it, but fortunately he was able to give them a taste of their own medicine each time.
- His older brother Kai is a combat sport maniac, and where (Kenji was told) he felt safest regarding fighting. Kai had inherited the physical transfer version of Kenji's own quirk. A stronger and superior version, most would say, but Kai feared he would cause more harm than necessary. And so, Kai resorted to learning how to self defend with a multitude of weapons and martial arts, which Kenji was dragged into.
- His drive to become a Pro-Hero was egged on by his mother, but discouraged by Kai. He appreciated both perspectives, however. He had plans on becoming something else than a Pro-hero, but anyone could guess what won in the end. Yet Kenji is still puzzling out his true motivation on becoming a Pro-Hero -- was it for addictive feeling felt when met with gratification (a feeling very familiar to his mother's quirk effects) or because he was...just doing what he was told to do?
