Player: Leriel Contact: PMs and AngelLeriel Anything Else?: I'm Eastern time but am constantly accidentally destroying my sleep schedule. In addition to MHA, I enjoy Tiger & Bunny and Mega Man (primarily EXE/Battle Network but I love all my blue sons), video games - RPGs, citybuilders, management sims, and variations thereof, mostly - and reading fantasy and nonfiction, as well as conlanging, drawing, and various and sundry fibercrafts. I'm also a professional programmer and simulations developer; I spent the past few months recreating the experience of using a self-checkout machine and it destroyed me.
Note that friending me on plurk will result in a sudden influx of pictures of and updates about my Izuku. No, not this one, my OTHER Izuku.
Character: Izuku "Deku" Midoriya Canon: My Hero Academia Canon Point: Chapter 327 (manga version - will contain spoilers past the current anime point! not by much, but still)
Crime: Criminal negligence and public endangerment. The arc he's coming from the end of was really not his finest hour in terms of making good and healthy life choices...
Background: Izuku is a friendly, awkward, genuinely heroic sweetheart of a teenager who is not always the best at social interaction but he tries his best, and is an incurable meddler who won't turn down an opportunity to try to help others. He also happens to be a superhero-in-training, and has been through Some Shit. As a head's up, that includes not only trauma resulting from hero activities but also over a decade of severe bullying that included a lot of physical violence, a lot of emotional abuse and social ostracization, and an instance of what can only be described as attempted inciting suicide. All of this has very noticeably affected his behavior, his mental health, and who he is as a person. I'll be doing my best to reach out and post CWs whenever exploring specific instances of trauma or bullying is likely to come up, and both understand and encourage telling me to avoid going into it with you/your characters if you feel more comfortable that way - you can reach out via PM to opt out.
Abilities: Izuku has a superpower ("Quirk") called One For All, which 1) can be transferred from person to person and 2) collects whatever other superpower the last user had and brings it along when it gets passed to someone else and has basically become a superpower swiss army knife. His app lists all of them, though the most important one is the 'base' ability of stockpiling power - it's essentially a form of super-strength/physical enhancement that Izuku can channel to all or some of his body and 'dial in' the power output and resulting enhancement on a scale of 1% to 100%. Some of his superpowers can also seriously physically wreck him if he isn't careful.
Plans: Izuku's coming in from a point in canon where he spent about a month in a very bad place mentally and he hasn't actually had any recovery time yet, so that's likely going to be a bit of a theme for him for a while (as well as him trying to hide this so no one will worry about him because He's Fine). For now I mostly want to focus on getting Izuku settled and bonding with people, and finding things he can do to help ground him a bit - he's absolutely going to want to help out however he can during the event, so anyone looking for a cooking assistant or bartering buddy has him on tap.
