Kodiak Tashiro (Razor Wolf) [hero]

THE BASICS

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

PERSONALITY

Shaped into the person he is today by an unstable family life. His family environment was unsound, to say the least. The turmoil of his parents' life, however, left Kody without a dependable source of encouragement or love. He learned to deal with his parents' erratic mood swings and coped by learning to predict his parents' behavior. Expecting the unexpected became a talent. He was probably born with, and at very least was developing into, an `observer' type personality. He is a remarkably observant person, always scrutinizing both others and the environments into which he is placed.

He is inspired and farsighted; constantly analyzing and gleaning in every look. He is witty and determined, both of which assist in his projects as an  hero. His intuition, however, is his greatest asset. This insight, along with his intense intellectual comprehension yield amazing results. His solutions to even the most complex of problems are stunningly original and often times somewhat visionary. He uses his intuition and insight, in addition to his keen observations and listening skills to establish affinity and extract information.

Much of the time, Kody's personality is both passionate and composed. He has an innocent curiosity that when combined with his intellectual depth yields a character that is astoundingly fascinating. He has a vast array of knowledge, which helps him to piece together ideas that would not often be associated with each other. In terms of emotional sensitivity, Kody is unsurpassed, with a specific talent for empathizing with other people's pain. Despite his addictive personality, Kody remains very independent, which renders him somewhat unconventional, nearly to the point of eccentricity. He uses his intuition and insight, in addition to his keen observations and listening skills to establish affinity and extract information.

He is courageous; he fearlessly charges into dangerous situations, leaving little time to think of his won well being. This means he tends to be a bit reckless, putting other people's well being above his own. He would gladly risk his health to achieve his goals.

BACKGROUND HISTORY

It all started when a movie star was in Norway filming a movie… A typical city girl meets an actor and falls in love. Hironori convinced her to move back to japan with him. Two years later she was with child and he was worried this would ruin his career as she was a secret not to be known and could ruin his public image. He paid her off and sent her out of his life.

The mother wanting nothing to do with the son that reminder her so much of the man who walked out of her life… She was never home and when she back ill and the  kid become an expense she did not want nor did it suit her needs anymore. At this point, Kodiak was eleven and was shipped off on a single engine plane on a flight plan to Alaska to where his father was filming. On the way up there, the pilot feeling bad for the kid, started to teach him how to fly the plane which cheered Kody up and allowed for the flight to pass by.

In the final fourth of the flight, the pilot had a heart attack and the plane was soon in Kody’s control. He managed to find a lake and point the plane towards it thinking it would be a softer landing as that was the one thing he didn’t know how to do. Not that he could fly that well… The plane hit the water and it took him a few moments to escape the wreckage but not before grabbing the bag that was at his feet.

About half an hour later, Kody had passed out on the shoreline and was just starting to come back around. The bag he had carried a few survival supplies. A knife, fishing line, a few hooks, an hatchet, a couple packs of mre’s, a sewing kit as well as little first aid kit. Then there was the broken, tracking device that had been crushed… Taking what he learned from watching nature and survival shows, he started to work on a way to get through until help showed.

Even though there had been a search party lunched but they didn’t know where to look. As the plane went off the scheduled path and the thick wilderness made it hard for them to look. It would be almost four years later while tracking a deer, Kody stumbled across a cabin almost five miles from his home. As he was looking around the cabin, a researcher had come back from his studies and found Kody.

After a month, the researcher went home with Kody in tow. With his mother gone, having passing away from an accident at work, Kody’s father wanted nothing to do with the fifteen year old. Gave him a trust fund and money to live on, told him to get his own place and not to bother him. But his father was freaked out by the quirk and this point his father had took over the family studio and had his other son to worry about.

It was a struggle to move one from being in the wilderness and living in the social world again. Everything was so fast paced and loud…But he managed to earn his spot at the U.A. High School. He already had a fair understanding and ability to use his quirk as he hone those skills hunting in the wilderness. He worked hard and long to make sure he was in the top of his class.

It was during that time, that he fell in love with his partner at the station and became someone he could lean on and confined in. His partner, Ryo became the rock in his life. They moved in together a few years later and were looking towards the future as they were starting their lives as pro heroes.

Two years later that has become one of the top duos out there and had racked up quite a following.  They were called in to handle a jewelry robbery but the duo didn't know that it was a trap in which a villain had placed a bounty of both of their heads for putting his son away (where his son later was killed during a fight in prison) Even though they fought and Kody was able to take down the group who set up the trap, it came at a price. Ryo was injured and by the time help had come it was too late. Ryo had passed away in Kody’s arms and he was struggling were his own injuries. He passed out after help arrived and would not wake up for another six months.

Months later, Kody found himself working at the UA as a teacher and working on getting back into fighting shape. But he still struggles with going into action as a hero.

THE ARMORY

QUIRK & SKILLS

---

Bone Spike Protrusion

TYPE: manipulation
RANK/LEVEL:  B Rank

SUMMARY: He generate razor-sharp spikes of bone from his body, acting as weapons (blades, claws or spikes) including growing, shaping, manipulating density/weight. Applications are along the lines of  climbing ( By digging one's claws into surfaces.), cutting/mauling/impaling. There is a defense side in which a good amount of bone spikes cane be used as shield. There is also the predator instinct and mending that are inherited. Predator instinct brings to the table the ability to become masters of hunting and tracking. One with this ability can discern numerous factors of a situation that make them a master of pursuit and capture. With mend there is the ability to heal minor wounds such as cuts, bruises, small fractures and light burns. But also the gift to close off more serve injuries to stop the bleeding.


WEAKNESSES/LIMITATIONS: Broken spikes/claws can be rather painful depending on where the break and how bad. Also causing bones to exude from body or break can still be painful.  By focusing in on one sense, it can over load and be overwhelming. An example would be  focusing in too much on hearing can either cause hearing loss for a while or even the sound of a pin drop being too loud. Sometimes there is the inability to produce spikes or claws or not being able to retract them. The mending abilities are limited and unable to heal severe wounds, its more like a band-aid or patch to minor wounds.

RANK/LEVEL: C Rank.
SUMMARY:  Kody has spent years studying and learning different martial arts from Kung Fu San Soo to escrima and in between. His quirk relies heavily on hand to hand combat. So he has studied and taken the skills he needs from different arts to make his own fighting style. He fighting style depends heavily on his hands with some lower body if needed. His style is adjustable depending on who he is up against.
