Touma Mindas (Jabbers) [Villian]

THE BASICS

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Touma is a scrawny under fed and dirty child. Often wearing mix matched clothing of the wrong size and the outfit changes constantly due to him needing to steal new clothing. 

PERSONALITY

Touma is a very troubled child as he has little control over his quirk and the actions he had committed while using it has left him permanently damaged. In order to cope with the combination of loss and guilt that using it has caused him he created a new personality that is both the manifestation of his quirk but also the negative traits and memories of his mind. This allows him to blame his actions on "Jabbers" and over time the personality has evolved into its own entity inside Touma's mind creating a parasitic relationship between the two as they struggle for control. Though due to the heavy physical cost of the quirk Touma is often able to control himself as the other personality "sleeps" though pain, fear and rage can awaken the boys other half which leads to the two fighting for control and the stress of the fight feeds the negative side allowing it to take control. 

Touma himself is a sweet boy, he was raised to be polite and kind and still tries to hold himself to that. Knowing the danger of his quirk he often seeks isolation and becomes nervous in crowds but failure to meet basic needs like hunger can force out his other half and so he will risk such encounters for food and other necessities. Often having to steal what he needs to avoid staying in public for long periods of time. He doesn't seek to harm anyone and he hates himself for having to steal what he needs but does so in order to protect others from his quirk. He has a deep seated fear of capture and imprisonment thinking that since he cannot control his quirk that if put away he will be put into a cell and never allowed out again or worse put down. These fears are often fed and amplified by the nightmares created by his alternate ego. 

Jabbers on the other hand is the manifestation of the boys anger and pain from what he has done and what has been done to him. It is the opposite side of the coin truly enjoying causing harm and misery in others. Jabbers also hates Touma, since it feels that the boy is too weak and that it has to do everything to keep the body they share alive. However Jabbers is more tied to Touma's quirk and so most often makes its appearance just before the quirk activates and then retreating back into the boys physique as it ends. Rarely, if ever as it takes Touma's permission Jabbers can take control of the boys body without using the quirk though these times are rare it can be done to allow Jabbers to do what must be done to "save" the two of them from whatever trouble they are in. 

BACKGROUND HISTORY

Touma was the first child born in his parents marriage and for a time his life was unnoteworthy and simple his parents were loving and kind yet simple people both quirked and curious to see what their son would develop. His mother had a simple knack of foresight able to predict a bad day or a good day though never anything specific and the conditions were only in relation to herself. His father was a factory worker who could control machines and had gotten his  temporary quirk license causing him to reach new levels of productivity and in turn score a massive promotion. With it he could afford a lovely home for his wife and son and Touma never wanted for anything, a spoiled single child for the first four years of his life. 

In the fifth things changed when his quirk manifested itself, his mother had gotten a prediction that she was in for a horrible day the worst ever by her feelings. Rather then meet it she decided to stay home with her son figuring if she didn't engage in the plans she had made then maybe she could avoid whatever was waiting for her. Touma had been fine that morning eating his breakfast and then going to his room to play with some new toys his father had gotten for him when she heard violent screaming and shrieking that rapidly turned otherworldly and she rushed to check on her son. Waiting for her was a monster, an abomination with long arms and twisted fangs and horrible bulbous eyes and what was worse is that it spoke in her sons voice. It pleaded with her to help him that he was in pain that everything hurt and it was hungry so hungry.... 

The noise alerting the neighbors called the police and they arrived at a scene of horror, blood everywhere and little Touma holding the remains of his mother sobbing and apologizing to her for what he did. His father informed and the two went into counseling over what happened but it didn't help, his father turned to self medication with drugs and alcohol and he had no love for the little monster that he had created. Touma to his credit tried, tried to make him understand it wasn't him that did it that Jabbers was the monster but nothing worked. As his father grew more violent in his outbursts Touma realized that he would need to avoid him or else the pain would wake up that monster that had killed his mother. In the end the monster didn't need to kill his father as the man did it himself, a car accident caused by his drinking.

And so Touma was first given to his uncles family, but one faithful day when the families dog bit him the monster came out again and again he was passed this time to his grandparents. They were far stricter then his parents by now the boy was seen as cursed, never able to control when the monster would come out. At least there he learned some self control as pain and fear were a regular occurrence for him. They lived out in the forest and so whenever the abuse grew too great and Touma's grip slipped he would rush into the woods before the monster came out. True he would receive punishments when he got back but they were worth it so long as nobody got hurt. Of course he had no idea that a local legend was created thanks to the monster, how hikers and farmers would go missing on certain dark nights. After all Touma had no memories of whatever the monster hunted, or if he did he choose not to remember. 

The years there however helped create the monsters own personality, Jabbers was the only person who cared enough about Touma to keep him alive after all. The beast would hunt to feed them, would take over when the beatings grew too great and Touma could rest away from it. But trusting the monster was a mistake as it presented itself a friend and a protector and when Touma finally gave in, giving it complete control one day Jabbers made sure that their grandparents would never hit them again. This time Touma could see, and feel what the monster did, they didn't even use the quirk they simply used a kitchen knife and it was more then enough. 

Realizing what the monsters methods were, and how it would "solve" any problems Touma locked it back up and fights with it on a daily basis to keep it asleep and quiet. Fearful of people yet craving interactions Touma went back into the city living as a homeless willing to take the kindness of others but never staying long. A few times a persons kindness was motivated with darker intentions but those times Jabbers would be let loose and Touma would find himself alone with whoever wanted to hurt him dead. Now he has a small camp set up under a bridge in the city, away from the other homeless whom he doesnt/cant trust. His alternate ego is known, a predatory monster that comes out at night but so far nobody has been able to trace it back to the boy.  

THE ARMORY

QUIRK & SKILLS

---

Wendigo

TYPE:  Transformation

RANK/LEVEL: D+

SUMMARY:
4 post duration 
When activated, usually do to reaching an unstable mental state Touma transforms into his monstrous form. The transformation is mind shattering painful for him which is all the more reason he avoids having it activate. The process causes his bones to break and regrow into a new shape as well as rapidly develop muscle growth. 

He doubles in size though the growth is focused to his arms and legs leaving his torso and waist small. Instead of five fingered hands his bones fuse and grow to form three taloned claws which is mirrored with his feet. His skull and jaw both elongate and his teeth reshape into a cluster of razor sharp fangs that hang out of the jaw the transformation of these areas causes considerable blood loss for him as the transformation literally breaks the human skin underneath to burst out. But due to the amount of energy to rapidly grow the muscles of his new form the blood is quickly replaced. 

While in this state the Jabbers personality is the dominant personality as Touma refuses to acknowledge that he and the monster share a body and the boys mind sleeps in the deeper parts of his physique. The new body is fully capable of speaking able to speak with two voices. One being the original voice of Touma and the other is Jabbers who does damage to the vocal cords as it speaks to give itself a unique voice.

The Wendigo is an ambush predator, often capitalizing on the shock of its transformation to catch victims off guard it is capable of rapid movement and jumps and the claws and fangs are both razor sharp. During combat it seeks to disable its prey quickly as well as any witnesses before feeding needing to consume a large amount of meat to sustain the transformation and also prevent Touma from passing out when they shift back. The predator also has enhanced senses of hearing sight and smell allowing it to track prey but also leaving it vulnerable to certain stimulations. 

Injuries are not shared between the two forms, any damage done to Touma before transformation is healed during it as with the rest of the damage done to his body. Similarly damage sustained as the Wendigo is healed IF he has consumed enough food to sustain it otherwise the healing if focused on the damage caused by the transformation first. 



WEAKNESSES/LIMITATIONS:
5 post cooldown, longer if the Wendigo doesn't consume anything 

The first weakness of this quirk is the sheer strain it puts on Toumas body, it costs his body considerable energy to transform which is why the beast form is starving, having spent every last calorie in their body to transform and when coupled with the pain of it leads to the feral attacks as it seeks to feed. 

Also while having heightened senses can be helpful while hunting having a sudden change in environment overwhelm those same senses. Like going from darkness to sudden light would cause considerable pain to its eyes or a sudden loud noise when quiet. These changes wont be enough to stop it but does cause disorientation and anger.

The moral weakness of the quirk is if one knows Touma and more importantly he knows them. The original personality "sleeps" while transformed but similar to how Jabbers is never fully asleep while Touma is awake the reverse is true, should Touma attack someone that he knows and they know the monster is him its possible to wake up the boys personality. This would cause a rapid panic and the two personalities fighting as Touma tries to prevent harm coming to the person he knows which can result in his quirk ending abruptly and returning to normal

RANK/LEVEL: C

SUMMARY:

Touma has a gift of avoiding unwanted attention in his mannerisms. Avoiding eye contact the nature of his movements and other tricks allow him to hide even with little cover. This doesn't work well with someone who knows what he looks like especially if there is no hiding places but he can lose himself in crowds rapidly and it helps him be as unnoticeable as possible when he does interact with people so that they don't remember him.
