As much as I love the concept I'm going to have to ask you to change this part. I don't think having a nearly indestructible costume is very balanced.

Vigilante Costume
Face is covered by a thin red fabric that he can see and breath through. The mask covers his entire head and is pulled on much like a ski-mask ensuring he doesn't drop any hair fibers when he is out and about. He also has gloves made of the same material to ensure he leaves no finger prints behind. His clothes are very common, jeans, tennis shoes, t-shirt and a jacket with a hood. He also wears a beanie and sunglasses [which makes it annoying difficult to see in the dark at times] but it allows him to pass by people at night without them realizing he is wearing a mask. If he feels someone is looking to closely at him, he will pull the hood over it. His outfit meshes with his character very well, it protects his identity and helps to ensure no dna evidence is left behind and, best of all, it is cheap and functional.
Personality
Cynical || Dedicated || Abrasive || Distant || Warm
Thanks to his career, Ken has seen the worst humanity has to offer and has seen it far too often for him to be anything but cynical. He doesn't believe everyone is out for themselves, but enough of them are that it has tainted his trust in others and faith in the integrity and kindness of strangers. While he thinks some people can be redeemed, can change, he doesn't think it happens nearly often enough to give someone the chance or benefit of the doubt. The entire idea of 'benefit of the doubt' is a laughable notion to him at this point. There are plenty of horrible people around without people enabling them further as such, he normally assumes people are lying and doesn't trust them to keep their word, and it takes quite some time before he begins to trust others to any sort of degree, and if that trust is ever betrayed, it is never offered again. Despite believing the worst about the vast majority of people he meets, Ken is very dedicated to his work. He throws everything he has into whatever he does, be it patrolling the streets at night, investigating a woman's husband for infidelity or listening to the dispatch as he keeps an ear out for his old friends in blue. Throwing everything he has into his work has always been his blessing and curse. There are few people who work harder then him, who will put off their own personal lives and dreams for the sake of their believed purpose and fewer still who could do it every day for the rest of their lives. However, it is also burning him out both physically and mentally. If he wasn't so invested into his work and cases, he wouldn't be so cynical of others, if he wasn't so invested in the truth of the matter, he would still be working as an detective. He barely gets any sleep and rarely finds the time to eat which doesn't help his mood. He is quite certain that he is going to burn out in the next few years and die to some punk in some dirty back-alley and no one is going to remember him, but until that day, he has work to do.
Ken can be rather abrasive, this isn't just because he is overly dedicated to his work to the point he pushes everyone out of his life or his incredibly cynicism, but also thanks to his coping method. He has a very strong sense of humor able to smile or laugh at just about anything, but that humor is often turned against people around him as he uses sarcasm and dry wit to better get a grasp on what is going on around him. When he is nervous, he makes jokes. When he is scared, he makes jokes. When he is embarrassed or nervous, he makes jokes. When he is sad, he makes jokes. There is a fairly obvious trend and he tends to rub people wrongly especially if the subject matter is very sensitive. To make it worse, Ken doesn't really care if he hurts someone's feelings or offends anyone as if they don't like it they can either develop a thicker skin or bugger off, he doesn't particularly care which they pick. He doesn't mind pushing these people away as Ken prefers it. While he doesn't mind working with others, that is about as far as he wants the connection to go. The closer people are, the easier it is for them to drive the knife deeper when they, inevitably, let him down and, in his line of work, it becomes exceedingly more dangerous the more people he has to look out for and as much as he is willing to take a bullet for someone, he'd rather avoid that fate if at all possible. His abrasive nature just makes it easier for him to put up, and keep up, that wall from any new people to his life. His family, and what friends he had before being fired from the department, have long since been shoved out of his life. But, at his core, Ken is a warm person, he'd have to be to do what he does and not just be some psycho who enjoys hurting people in the name of 'justice'. He hates seeing people in pain and goes out of his way to help people, often, doing so in ways that won't come back to him as he loathes awkward thank yous, or heaven forbid, hugs. This isn't just in his nightly activities of prowling the street to save people in trouble, but showed in his old job and his sheer dedication to catching the criminal to bring families closure and in his current work as a PI where he will often lower the cost of his services, sometimes waving it completely, if the person asking truly needs his help and isn't just yet another jealous spouse wanting conformation to the question they already know the answer to.
Quirk
Object Gigantification, ability to massively increase the size, and so mass, of any objects [but not himself or living beings]. The most common way he uses them is with thrown objects, usually the coins he keeps in his pocket. Right before they leave his hand, he drastically increases the size of the object and so, while to him he simply threw a coin, to his opponent, they now have a massive hunk of solid metal ranging from the size of a plate to a building flying at them. He can throw other objects and control the size of what they are to scale with the strength of the person he is fighting [Wouldn't want to kill someone by accident, after all], but he finds coins to be the most convenient. This is also where his vigilante name comes from, not his first choice, but it was what the news ran with and so, regardless of his feelings on the matter, it stuck.
Biography
Ken comes from a long line of cops, it is something of the family tradition. His mother was a forensic analyst and his father was a beat cop, his future in law enforcement wasn't just encouraged, it was expected. But along with this, came a distaste of 'heroes'. The public attention hogs that got their kicks from the spot light and fighting ornately dressed 'villains'. His father, and mother, both hated heroes, they considered them nothing more then pest who often got in the way of real police work, and when Ken joined the force, he agreed with them. While they had their uses, they were, as he all too soon found out, in it for the money and the fame. When their antics failed, when people died because they couldn't do their job, it wasn't they who spoke to the families of the deceased, it wasn't the hero that told a mother that their little girl wasn't coming home tonight, no, that went to people like him, the real law of the land.
The resentment of the heroes was a common argument within the force, some enjoyed them believing it made their job a bit easier, others that they were nothing more then self-centered egomaniacs who care more about reputation and sponsors then protecting people, Ken was, obviously, part of the latter. It didn't help that anytime he did achieve something, such as the shattering of a criminal empire led by the Baldini family, it went by unnoticed in favor of the Silver Shadow's new biography that was coming out. Ken never tried to hide his opinion, even if it became an extremely unfavorable one that came to head during his investigations into a certain major hero. There were allegations of the hero using his fame to mask his illegal activities from a heavy drug use to using his fame to use underage girls for sexual favors. When ken tried to look into it, he was blocked, constantly, by his superiors. When he tried to get a warrant, he was turned down by every judge. Finally, Ken was given an ultimatum, either he dropped his case or they dropped him. They got his answer the next day when Ken approached a major news outlet with his evidence. Ken was fired that afternoon while the hero was given a slap on the wrist for his actions, hero envy, that is what the keyboard warriors said it was. An effort to drag down a hero who, may, just may, have gotten a little off the path of justice due to stress, but nothing more.
After being dismissed from the force, he took up the only job he had the skillset for, private detective. Despite the nice name and ring it had, it isn't nearly as glamorous. He spent most of his free time investigating spouses or finding runaway teenagers. Still, he was good at it. It was during one of these cases, chasing down a teenage girl who ran away from her home to be with a 'misunderstood bad boy' that he took up vigilantism. It seems while he may have been a 'misunderstood bad boy' his friends certainly weren't. Using his power, he saved the girl and crushed the budding street gang. It... felt good to be doing right again, to have a purpose in protecting and serving others again. He could have attempted to become a hero, but no, he was far too old to easily apply and, more to the point, he hated heroes. Hated the institution it had become. So, he took the very, very slightly more palpable route of vigilante. No fame, no money, just doing what he thought was right with no rules or regulations.
I can change it if you'd like but it's not meant to be the ultimate defense, it's just meant to not be destroyed. Really all it can do it stop bullets (most villains wont use than but i can change that if ya want) and is flame resistant. The point was to make sure it doesnt get destroyed on accident and reveal his actual costume until it's plot necessary.
"C'mon, sweetheart, who do you want me to be?"
Name:
Rinka Kurosawa
Vigilante Name:
Incubus
Age:
Twenty-one
Gender:
Male
Appearance:
Rinka is an effeminate young man standing at roughly 160cm and weighing in at about 54kg. He possesses chin-length snow white hair, a strip of black amongst the locks, extremely pale ivory skin, as well as pitch black eyes with rings of white that encircle the pupil, giving him a rather manic expression.
Vigilante Costume:
As the vigilante known as Incubus, Rinka pairs a black dress shirt with pinstripe black pants, completing the look with a knee-length white hooded trench coat, a white tie, a black mask that covers the lower half of his face and a pair of black leather gloves, making for a striking yet oddly enough forgettable sight, as though he simply blends into the background as another nameless face in the crowd.
Personality:
Rinka is a very cheerful young man, to the point of smiling even when danger is imminent. He is also rather compassionate, wanting to make each and every person that he meets to be happy, even at the expense of his own well-being. While it's difficult to believe, he is actually quite mentally unstable and incredibly self-destructive, believing that he's useless and that the only way he can prove himself as worth something is by throwing away who he is as a person to become what others need him to be. It's as this point that he's already lost his true self long ago, and a caricature was all that was left behind.
Quirk:
Incubus - Rinka's quirk allows him to take on numerous identities by consuming the desires of another person. Triggered by consuming one of these desires, he is capable of adopting the personas all sorts of people—a skilled doctor, a decorated soldier, a celebrated actor—so long as that is what the other person truly desires him to be. The duration of the quirk lasts until the desire fades away, which cancels out the transformation.
Biography:
[WIP]
As a child, Rinka had greatly admired and had always dreamed of becoming one. However, by the time children his age manifested their powers, he still showed no signs of developing any special abilities. Due to that, his parents took him to a doctor from whom he received the news that, while he didn't have the extra joint that marked him quirkless, there was no telling when his abilities would manifest.
Hate to be that guy, but you're not supposed to create your own quirk anyway but rather use this thread to get a random one. I probably should have made that clearer from the start, and I apologize for failing to do so.
Alright. In that case, your character is accepted.
Many thanks. And Honestly I'm kinda sad, Incubus woulda been a really cool foil to my character, but i guess we all gotta roll the dice.
Acepted.
Name:
Ryota Kobayashi
Vigilante Name:
Vital Sign
Age:
18 soon to be 19
Gender:
Male
Appearance:
Vigilante Costume:
Ryota's face is covered in a black over the counter flu mask that is easy to breath in as well as easy to take off in a moment's notice. He also wears a leather jacket with the English and kanji for "Be Silent" hence his vigilante name. He also wears long socks, running shoes, black finger less gloves, and black rolled up jeans. He also carries a wooden Katana at all times to fight with, Giving him an air of a no good punk but he is viewed quite the opposite in his community. His "Disguise" is more of a formality than anything else.
Personality:
Soft Spoken | Easily Embarrassed | Timid | Self Centered | Kind | Naive
Ryota is a timid, soft spoken. and polite young man, with a tendency to panic and overthink everything. Due to being in and out of the hospital during his developmental stages Ryota is socially awkward, reserved, shy, and insecure. Ryota is also prone to crying and blushing easily, especially when he feels overwhelmed or servery distressed. Which his tolerance for is lower than most people. Due to his sheltered upbringing, Ryota is naive, self centered, and insensitive at times but he is well meaning and always looking to improve himself in some way. But without being told how to or why he gets overwhelmed and intimidated and puts it off. He also lacks initiative and always feels like he needs to be told what to do and how to live or else he gets confused and scared and ends up doing nothing if told nothing about anything. Ryota is also very hard on himself often being his worst critic with every small or big mistake he does. But beneath his shy and sheltered nature is one of diligence and a surprisingly strong will. While he is quick to falter at times he doesn't ever give up on something he wants to do, or feels like he needs to prove himself in. He has an excellent memory and analytical mind which at times causes stress and anxiety due to over thinking and panicking but it helps greatly with both small and big tasks he might other wise have trouble dealing with. But due to his need to prove himself he often pushes himself to his absolute limits and might make himself more sick or hurt than he would be other wise.
Quirk:
Healing: This quirk allows the user to amplify and quicken the healing process of those he makes contact with. With this unique and powerful quirk, grievous injuries are healed in seconds of contact. The healing process takes stamina from the receiver equal to how injured they are often leaving them tired after the process of healing is done. If the person's stamina is less than the injuries required the receiver will die from exhaustion and their injuries. Ryota vigilantism is a mix of back alley doctor and generally beating up people to a pulp than healing them to teach them a lesson. Also one major factor of Ryota's quirk is that depending on what body part he makes contact with also affects the rate of healing. Well two really. His lips heal wounds faster and better than every other body part. But due to his personality he keeps this secret since its so embarrassing.
Biography:
Ryota was always a sickly child. He was always either at home or at the hospital. Ryota earliest memories were of the white sterile hospital rooms he often found himself in. So it was rather ironic when his quirk manifested at 4 years old that he could heal everybody but himself. Ryota remembered trying to touch his chest to make the pain and ache go away but it never worked on himself but always those around him. He has a complex relationship with his quirk to say the least. He knew how useful and powerful it is, as everybody told him as such, but the problem was the body attached to the quirk. He was far too weak and sickly to go out and use his quirk on the public. But Ryota always tried to do his best to help those in need when ever he can. He had the heart of a hero is mother used to say before that was shot down by his father saying he had the body of a weakling. Ryota wanted to prove his father wrong.
Ryota's hospital stays was bi-yearly at least sometimes more, but never less than two yearly visit to the hospital for him until he was 14. Where he seemed to grow in strength enough to only go to the hospital once a year. Ryota was confidant enough in his new found strength to even take the entrance exam for U.A.. On the day of the exam Ryota got to the exams and he failed miserably at. He didn't even get 1 villain point and only about 30 hero points, which wasn't close to enough to get into U.A. and his test score for the written portion wasn't enough to get him into even the General studies department. He failed. He failed to become a Pro Hero or even a U.A. Student.
Ryota's life after that point become a haze. He didn't have anything to look forward to after that. Since he had to go to a normal high school and never get a hero licence to use his amazing quirk he had nothing to his name, except for a body getting sightly stronger with each passing day and parents who were either disappointed with him or expected this. Ryota's grades were average so it was unlikely he would become a doctor or even a nurse. That is until he one day started to use his quirk illegally. At first he would close small cuts and scraps on kids and seniors, than he started to do bigger and more serious injuries. But it was during this time he discovered two things about his quirk, one his kisses healed better than a touch of the hand, and two he can kill with his quirk. The former was discovered by accident, when he kissed by a person who found him attractive and it healed their broken leg in seconds. And the latter is...quite unexpected and he doesn't like to talk about it. Even if the victim is a villain. He won't talk about it just yet.
Soon enough, Ryota became a Vigilante. At first he only healed injuries he came across but soon enough villains discovered his quirk and came after him to make use of his quirk for their nefarious purposes rather he agreed to it or not. So Ryota learned how to protect himself with a wooden Katana and to use his quirk to his advantage and what little combat use it has. But he is popular for a vigilante. He even has fan art online. But due to fame he had to don a disguise so he wouldn't be thrown in prison for illegal quirk use. So he donned his Vital Sign disguise. Ryota is a well known vigilante at this point and one that many of the proheroes and police over look for convenience sake since his quirk is just that useful if he stays secret about. But he can only avoid their ire for so long. And Ryota feels like with the recent change in Police commander he might not be able to get away with his vigilante as he is.
ahahaha, man, I used Avilio/Angelo as the base for my character in another roleplay, this was weird to see.
