Itsuka Meka (Ace Pilot) [TEACHER]

THE BASICS

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Itsuka is pretty short, much shorter than the avarage male. with a Middle eastern/Japanese mixed heritage, he is quite often mistaken for a teenager, not that he seems to care much at all.

He walks with a limp, and his right hand seems to have limited mobility in it, often hanging by his side though he can do simple things such as open doors with it.

PERSONALITY

Straightforward and direct, the things that come out of the man who still looks like a teenage boy can be pretty harsh and rather unprofessional to those not used to hearing it, his word usage being basic and casual at the best of times. However, one would find if you catch Itsuka outside lessons he is pretty laid back, almost lazy but due to what happened to him, he feels he should make sure the heroes of the future do not make similar mistakes to the ones he did in his youth

In his free time, he enjoys gardening and sleeping.

BACKGROUND HISTORY

The son of a Japanese news reporter woman and an Arabic businessman, Itsuka's parents had divorced by the time he was 3 years old, his mother returning with her young son and settling in Osaka. He had a relitively normal childhood, his mother working as a news reporter in Japan while bring up her son as a single mother.
When Itsuka was 9 years old, a large scale villain attack occured in Umeda, and unfortunately his mother who was covering the incident ended up getting involved and dying. The young boy vowed to become a hero and avenge his mother.

Now this wasn't a very unusual story.
Many had stories like this.
What matters is what they do beyond one's disadvantaged childhood.

Attending Shiketsu High school in the Hero course, Itsuka pushed himself constantly to his body's limits to graduate as one of the top achievers in the school and started his work as a hero under a 4 man Hero team known as the Iron Flowers. They worked for several years, making a decent name for themselves in the Hero circuit with Itsuka being their ace, gaining his hero name "Ace Pilot".

With the drawbacks to his quirk and the warning signs his body was displaying, Itsuka really should have taken it easier. But he didn't, ignoring the small twinges of pain and slight numbing sensations he sometimes experienced after prolonged use of his quirk. It didn't matter, he was achieving everything and more than expectations and he felt he could do more. To be able to stop all the villains, reach a level where he could defeat the one who killed his mother, it was necessary. And no one really warned or stopped him firmly enough for him to take heed and finally all the strain he had forced his body to take on for over a decade took its toll.

As Itsuka and his team took down the villain who was behind the attack his mother perished in, he blacked out, waking up in hospital several days later. Only he had completely lost sight in his right eye, and most of the right side of his body had become paralyzed, a consequence of his nerves being overstimulated for so long, they seemed to have simply packed in, making him hardly able to move his limbs in his dominant side, nevermind fight or be able to continue his hero work.

After months of rehabilitation, Itsuka managed to be able to move his right side enough to walk aided by crutches but he wasn't satisfied. ("It's annoying to carry these everywhere.") and was looking for some sort of solution to his problem when he saw an old research paper written by a Dr. Shisutemu about a revolutionary system that if installed into a patient, could restore use of the body damaged by injury. The only problem with it was it was not seen as all that credible and it required an operation which had a 5% success rate, and to make matters worse the scientist who had written it was apparently a crazed alcoholic who most likely would not be able to help make his theory a reality anymore.

This would have probably discouraged most people with enough common sense, but then again Itsuka was never known for having much common sense and as one could see from his life up till now, he took life threatening risks without batting an eyelid. And so the young ex Hero went to visit the man who had written this paper to discuss the possibility of making the idea a reality- he was willing to become the experimental prototype.
He managed to track down the said scientist and found him drowning his sorrows with much alcohol and it took quite a while to actually manage to communicate what he wanted to the other man, but once the other realised he was serious, the older man was far more receptive to the idea.
A few months later, to everyone's shock and surprise, they were finalising the details on the operation. 3 implants were to be installed onto Itsuka's spine which should help him synchronise with support items easily and help him regain use of his limbs and eyesight that he had lost as well as give him some stability so even without the support items, he could possibly walk unaided again. It was enough pros to outweigh the cons, at least in Itsuka's opinion. Ignoring the discouragement from others, he went ahead with the operation putting his low key full trust in the scientist.

The operation was a success- and the scientist build him support items (after a long term of trial and error) that used in conjunction with what remained of his quirk, could temporarily bring Itsuka's functionality to the level it was before.

However, after rehabilitation and training, he decided not to go back into being a Pro Hero, mainly because it was impossible. His fighting time limit was far shorter than it used to be, and it carried too many risks of putting others in danger. So instead, he was recruited to teach at the famous hero school he never even bothered to apply for in his youth as he was sure he wasn't good enough at the time and it would be a waste of time. He also is more than happy to be a guniea pig to Dr Shisutemu who also works there for all his weird and wonderful (?) creations which he shows endless amount of (listless) enthutiasm for. He is a living example of both how to go beyond your limits, and the price that it may carry which, should be a lesson to all the next generation of heroes.

QUIRK & SKILLS

---

Optical Nerves

TYPE: Emitter
RANK: E
With use of SDS system activated: A-
SUMMARY:
Optical Nerves is an emitting type quirk that affects the users body in several ways. In essence, it boosts the speed of the user's nervous system to inhuman levels. Itsuka can also choose to concentrate on certain parts of his body to increase strength that can be exerted by that body part.

When Itsuka activates Optical Nerves, his eyes will glow and shift in multicolour and stay like that for the duration of his quirk.

Movement Speed
For a partially paralyzed person, Itsuka can move about as quickly as an able bodied person when he activates his quirk.
With use of SDS system activated: Itsuka's movement speed greatly increases, and will be hard to keep up for anyone who does not have movement speed as a main portion of their quirk.
When running without many obstructions, Itsuka's speed can get up to 55 mph

Reaction Time
Itsuka's reaction time is 70 milliseconds on average when using his quirk.

Strength
Itsuka can just about lift up small cars and the like with his working hand when his quirk is activated.
With use of SDS system activated: Itsuka can lift small commercial vehicles with ease, and turn over larger trucks with a single push/kick. He can break concrete and other similar materials, dent metals with one blow, and with many blows can make holes in them.

Sensitivity
Itsuka can increase the sensitivity in the non damaged parts of his body his body when his quirk is active. If he puts his hand on a surface, he can feel vibrations from around 100 meters away. If he channels it into his ears, his hearing range becomes around the same as a dog (67-45,000 Hz).
With use of SDS system activated: He regains this same ability in the damaged parts of his body.


WEAKNESSES/LIMITATIONS:
Itsuka can only keep having his quirk activated for around 8 posts before he experiences an "Overload" and will fall unconscious.
With use of SDS system activated: Itsuka can only keep his quirk activated for around 15 posts before he experiences an "Overload" and will fall unconscious.
When he experiences an "Overload", there is a high possibility of causing permanent nerve damage to the part of body he was using at the time of the overload.

He can only use one of his boosts at any one time. He can switch between them freely, however he will lose the boost effect he had before immediately, so smart, rapid calculations on switching mid combat is required.

As expected, if he increases sensitivity in his hearing or touch, they become far weaker and susceptible to damage if they are attacked while he had it channeled, so loud sounds, hard vibrations etc will cause injury to him.

RANK/LEVEL: A-
SUMMARY:
The implant designed by Dr. Shisutemu to allow Itsuka to be able to fine tune the channeling of his nerves and regain the use of his quirk to almost it's former glory.

---

RANK/LEVEL: F
With use of SDS system activated: A-
SUMMARY:
A mix of martial arts and street fighting, it is a style Itsuka sort of cobbled together himself from years of taking different classes.
