1640048707880.pngKouki Kaneko

Age: 37

Gender: Male

Height: 178 cm

Weight: 73 kg

Personality:
Bold? Outgoing? Aggressive? Whatever word you could use to describe Kouki, the absolute last one would be "shy". Loud in both words and actions, it isn't difficult to notice when the aging man is in the room, bringing in an aura of positivity almost unmatched. Not to say it can't be annoying at times, and sometimes his timing may be a bit off, but he's quick to burst out into a smile, or make a funny gesture, in order to help alleviate a heavy atmosphere. Physical in nature, he has a habit of putting his hands on others, wrapping his arm around their shoulders or lifting them up into the air in glee.

On the job, Kouki isn't much different. He still wears a corny smile, and does his best to use whatever charm he may have left from bygone years to stem the fear or irritation in a crowd. However, he carries himself with a tad more dignity, cracking less jokes and directing as much of his focus to supporting his team. Yet, with all things positive, nobody is perfect. Kouki's impish nature tends to get him into more trouble than is worth it. His habit of underestimating a villain has been his downfall more than once, and it's a lesson he has still struggled to come to grasp. His habit of toying with villains typically creates more dangerous situations for those around him, and once or twice has needed serious saving from others.

Backstory:
Growing up in the mountains of Japan doesn't usually help one get into the world of crime-fighting superheroes, but their influence even reaches the most humble of houses atop their peaks. Born in the mountain city of Takayama, Kouki wasn't originally enamored with the thrilling lifestyle that was being a Hero. Instead, he spent most of his time getting into trouble and causing chaos for the citizens, from pulling pranks to straight vandalism. His parents split at a young age, with his father taking full custody of the boy. His father's busy life trying to provide for the two of them caused Kouki to have even less authority figures tied closely to his life, and so, he was labeled the town's generic 'punk'.

While he originally just wanted to go to the regular high school in Takayama, he was pressured by a couple of his friends to apply to the hero academy with them, which was notorious for being difficult to get into, due to the picky nature of the local heroes that ran it. Despite his best attempts to 'sadly fail', Kouki still managed to receive the final spot on the roster of accepted applicants, much to his dismay. Word quickly spread of his 'success', and his father was incredibly proud of his son's change of heart. Kouki was unable to handle telling his father he didn't want to go, and so he resolved to just try and flunk out of the school after his first year.

However, within the first year of high school, he was hooked. Amazed at what he was able to do with his own Quirk, as well as meeting numerous students who wished to follow their dreams of becoming Heroes helped influence Kouki to work harder, and he rose from the bottom of the bracket, eventually coming to place within the top half of his year. During his time at the academy, he met Mami, an underclassmen who he became enraptured with. The two eventually became a couple, and once they both graduated from the academy, they were married. They became locally famous as a married superhero team, with little need for an agency due to the small population of the city. Still, many superheroes that came after them considered themselves their underlings, simply due to the likable nature they exuded.

Over the years, they had two daughters, named Suzume and Machi. After Machi, the two heroes began to slow down in their duties, working to prepare other heroes for taking over what they could do so they could spend more time raising their children. At this point, Kouki was considering hanging up his cape for good. A deep root settled in him, worrying about something happening to himself or his wife that left their daughters without them. When Mami became pregnant with their third child, Kouki was on his way to speak to the town council about his retirement where he was attacked by a small number of heroes from the new generation of graduates. They were jealous of the local fame he had accumulated, and planned to fake a villain attack and frame his death on someone else, so they could reap the rewards. Managing to evade most of them until backup arrived, he spent much of the next two days in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, chasing down the new 'heroes'. As they closed in on the last few heroes, one revealed they had captured Mami, and in a spur of the moment act, critically wounded her. As other heroes finished apprehending the attackers, Kouki rushed Mami to a hospital, but the damage was done. Within a few hours, she had passed on, along with Kouki's unborn son.

Kouki entered a semi-retirement, working for the city to help train and evaluate new heroes while not partaking in their daily duties unless called upon, but that was rare. He continued to raise Suzume and Machi with the help of his father and Mami's sister. He struggled to make ends meet for a multitude of years, believing he would have to return to patrolling and living the same life he had before. However, fortune must have favored him, because he was approached by the hero Marma-Lad, an up-and-coming hero from Kobe who was opening his own Agency. Marma-Lad offered him a position to work for him, with a high enough pay to help in taking care of his daughters. With approval from his children, Kouki moved to Kobe, where he spent the next two years working his way to being one of Marma-Lad's top heroes in his agency.

Some time later, Kouki was approached by Marma-Lad with an assignment. With news of the Eagle Agency's recent developments in their home turf, and Marma-Lad's sister being one of their agents currently on an international mission, Marma-Lad had offered to send Kouki to aid them for the foreseeable future, at least until things were better under control. Kouki accepted the assignment.

Quirk:
Mystic Carpet

Kouki's Quirk is a black and gold colored 'magical' piece of fabric, measuring 8x6 feet, that he is able to control freely as long as it is within a set range of ten meters in any direction. A Transformation/Hybrid-Type Quirk, when not in use, Kouki has the carpet wrapped tightly around his torso underneath his clothes, where his skin has become very callused from repeated friction. This tends to make him look a bit normally than he truly is. Due to his full control of the carpet, it allows him a small arsenal of abilities, though the most prominent use is for flight, with the carpet being able to handle a combined weight limit of approximately 750 pounds.

Strengths:
- Full control of his Quirk means that he can manipulate the carpet without having to keep it in his vision. It is close to a physical extension of his being, with a thin membrane of nerves covering it.
- The maneuverability of his Quirk makes him a prime choice for rescue scenarios, able to carry 2-4 passengers, depending on their weight.
- In situations where he has to resort to combat, the carpet acts almost as an extra set of limbs capable of disorientating or landing faint strikes on opponents.

Weaknesses:
- The greatest weakness of his Quirk is the elements around him. Though it is tougher than regular fabric, it is still highly susceptible to fire and heat, and water causes it to become sluggish.
- The nerves in the carpet itself mean Kouki feels a portion of whatever damage is dealt to the carpet.
- The carpet cannot leave it's maximum range. If Kouki tries to walk out of the maximum distance from the carpet, it will start to move back in the direction he is going in, making it's application for longer range horrendous.

Armel Dagur Mirdaun

H | W: 6ft | 172 LBS

New Alias: Oddity

Former Alias: Enigma

Race: Japanese - Icelander & Swedish

Age: 26

Original Eye Color: Blue

Original Hair Color: Dark Brown








  • Having lived a pretty chaotic life, Armel is no stranger to the shifting tides of change and that's probably why he's so willing to indulge himself in the spoils when he can. Coming off as somewhat lazy and stubborn due to his proclivity to enjoying moments of peace when he can get them, Armel, despite his nature of professionalism is actually quite the friendly individual- provided you don't rub him the wrong way given the first few chances he gives you. While not quick to judge, he is quick to make up his mind about whether he will like someone on a personal level.

    Contrary to his somewhat aloof visage, he enjoys company- he just doesn't enjoy distractions when he's working. He's a very focused person once a task grabs his attention, and can sometimes lose sight of things in the long run when he gets really invested into something. A hint at the fact that Armel himself, is not afraid to test moral grounds to get a job done. His quick temper and single-minded drive plays a role in this. Albeit to a degree where it's not as bad as a problem as it once was when he was far younger.

    While youth bred a rebellious side that tore apart his meekness turning him into a individual unafraid of questioning things he saw as suspicious, Armel has learned to get over his sense of grudge holding and anger through other activities, the only thing aside from his training regime he's committed to, is either catching up on a series of anime and manga he missed out on as a teen, or engaging in his hobby of painting for fun.

    Since coming to Japan, he's become less tense- and a bit more relaxed.

1646027778331.pngName:
Scarlet Rose Creed

Age:
19

Gender:
Female

Height:
5'8

Weight:
145lb

Personality:
Scarlet is a very energetic individual, though with a drive to kick ass, party, and make friends. But mostly to kick some ass. She loves to push people out of their comfort zone, cheer them on, and even sometimes make them uncomfortable with the actions she takes just to get a good laugh out of it. Scarlet tries to make jokes out of what she can pick on and tends to be very playful. She's easy to get along with, though some people think her resting bitch face and her strong presence is overwhelming and don't usually come near. Every time she is asked about her bandaged arm, she always comes up with a new story, making many confused on what was actually wrong with her arm and why it's bandaged. Aside from this bright personality, she takes her job seriously, not only kicking ass, but also keeping her teammates back safe. Depending on the level of Crime, she could either play with her food, or become a deadly weapon against her foes.

Backstory:
There was nothing more better than to be part of the Creed Family, consisted of both her parents, along side of her older and younger brother. Even though she was the only girl out of her siblings, she developed her brother's rowdy natures and always was almost like another brother to the trio. Her life was good, her life was normal, and she enjoyed every moment with her brothers. While cooking with her mom in the kitchen by being a little helper, she found the fire from the pilot being very intriguing and while her mother wasn't looking, she decided to stick her finger into the flame, sure it was hot but it wasn't scary. But that was till the fire suddenly began to spread along her arm and cause her to shriek in fear and cry all at the same time. While it didn't hurt, it was still pretty terrifying to her and her mother rushed to her aid, dousing her arm in water to extinguish the flames. Upon Scarlet's arm was darkened skin, it again, didnt hurt but it surely didn't look too well. After being taken to the doctor to get examined, it was quickly recognized that she had developed her quirk and it had to do with fire. At first, her mother was worried because a quirk like that was very dangerous if not handled properly.

With some help from her doctor, she was able to take precautions and make sure something tragic could not happen. Unfortunately for Scarlet, she had to have her arm wrapped to avoid other children noticing the scary darkened skin of her arm as a result of her quirk. Though she grew with this very well and has had her arm bandaged every single day (Unless she's home), and telling people different stories about her arm the older she got. Though as she got older she realized that she couldn't always hide her arm and would have to use it during training in UA, which meant her bandages were always removed to allow her to use her quirk in her left arm. Granted, she could work with both her arms, but her dominant is her left. While training at UA she got the attention from many but yet only focused on friendships and schoolwork. She may have gotten a few offers due to her skills but she wanted to finish everything off before she made a choice to be with an agency, and with that she chose the Eagle Agency.


Quirk(Strengths, Weaknesses, does it mess with physical appearance? Name of quirk):
Touch of Ifrit

Scarlet is able to create fire using her body. She could ignite it without issue and cast it just as if it was magic; Much like Shoto with his abilities. There are a few things she could do that include: Eating flames and in turn getting a temporary boost of power, or even potentially using it with her mouth by breathing like a dragon. Creating a large claw out of flames to inflict dot damage onto her opponent while also attacking (Only used on her dominant hand). She could also do smaller attacks like shoot fire from her hands, as well as light them on fire mid fight to add some burn.

Eating Flames - This is something Scarlet can do whenever she wants, though there's really no need for it unless she feels the need to boost her power or even turn herself into a fire breathing dragon for a time. Even though she's able to create fire and could emit her flames out that way, she prefers to eat flames around her and use that against her enemy to add umph to her damage. ( She cannot eat her own flames. She's tried and nothing has happened. Must be External sources.)

Ifrit's Claw
- Scar is able to use her left arm and create a large claw made of purely her flames, giving her a little bit more range with that arm as well as adding a DOT (Damage over time) effect to her enemy when scratched, this includes the burning of skin/clothing/etc, and could even inflict wounds while also cauterizing them. Looks pretty cool though. (This skill is also weak when it comes to rain and water. Due to this being made purely of fire, there's no way it could stay lit if submerged in water or burn as bright in rain.)

Flame Bursts - Scarlet can release flame bursts much like fire balls and upon impact have a small explosion. Could be used close or ranged combat. Though not recommended in tight spaces.

Aura of Flames - She can layer her hands and her feet with flames which give her some burn effects to her attacks. Nothing crazy. ( Though if she's soaked from head to toe, or it's raining, she cannot use this skill. )

Other:
To hate someone, you'd have to really piss her off
Scarlet is really chill, really nonchalant
Pissing her off can result in fiery consequences
Don't get in her way of spicy foods, she loves that shit
