Koji Tatsumi (Yggdrasil) [Student]

THE BASICS

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

A varibly sized young tree man with green bark like skin which has red markings, in certain areas. He has red leaves for hair which turn pink in the spring. He has bark horns, hands, and feet. He rarely wears clothes unless in winter or school time. He has black eyes with blue sclera. He also has clear sap for blood.

PERSONALITY

Despite his imposing appearance and voice, Koji is a rather passive and admittedly submissive person. He will let others walk all over him and boss him around even if he objects or doesn't want to do it. Due to his hatred of confrontation and people he likes being mad at him, he does what he is told. Many people find him odd off-putting, and far too timid for how strong he is. But people tend to get used to him right away. But despite submissive nature, he has a sharp wit and a tendency to be passive-aggressive.

Koji tends to be silently rebellious. Since he learns his objections don't matter to people, he has learned to rebel. Instead of objecting or getting angry he acts forgetful, clumsy, and unreliable. Despite telling himself otherwise, he is forgetful and clumsy. He tends to forget the days of the week and dates, and he tends to trip over his own feet if not too careful. He is also awful at lists and instructions. He tends to get anxious and nervous over simple tasks while dangerous things make him calmer. Which is why he has an avoidance to most social interactions, but hero work is where he excels.

BACKGROUND HISTORY

Koji Tatsumi was not born a human. Koji Tatsumi is a tree with a quirk.

The story of Koji Tatsumi is a short and kind of a complicated one. Koji was born in Tokyo during the sakura tree blossoming. Koji is a product of a Sakura tree and Japanese maple tree producing his seed which was born with a quirk. Koji spent the first nine months of his pre-life underground after the seed he was in planted and grew in a hastened pace. After those nine months, Koji was born. He crawled out of the ground like a cicada and laid in the sun for a day happily before somebody found him and took him to the local police.

And that's how Koji was born. His childhood was all things considering normal. Everybody assumed he had a strange quirk and that he wasn't a quirky plant being. At a young age, many children and even adults found him unsettling. He didn't eat food, not really. All he ever ate was raw meat. Which was off-putting for most parents, and fellow orphans so he often left to his own devices. He found comfort and his brothers and sisters, the plants all around him. At the time nobody knew he could talk to plants as he can, at the time they thought he was crazy or lonely. Or both.

By the time Pre-school rolled around he already had a negative reputation. As the crazy and creepy plant boy. Koji ignored them and focused on learning instead. He was never the smartest or best student, but he was always good enough. Good enough to pass and never have anybody focus on him for too long. He like every other plant wanted to be ignored. But people are always fickle things. But it was around this time that Koji figured out he isn't a human but rather a tree with a quirk. Thanks to meeting his parents in Tokyo during a spring festival. This made him feel weird but also happy. Like he was given a gift of a life that no other plant could have. He was unique and not in a bad way. But maybe he could do something even most people can't do. Become a Pro-hero.

During middle school, Koji just spent his time training and studying to get into U.A. He will be the first plant to enter the school. Or any high school. But this is important to him. But after three years of training and studying, he got into U.A. with flying colors. And he was proud of himself. In his first year of High school, Koji used a unique talent to get by in life, passive aggression and snark. People do not believe the truth when said in a tone. So that's a useful skill.

For koji's second half of the second year and a bit into his third year, Koji went into general studies as he couldn't handle the stress of internships after an incident with a villain. But after a year Koji regained his confidence and wanted back into the Hero department. He hopes his confidence isn't too high this time around. But he will do his best.

QUIRK & SKILLS

TREE

TYPE: Muatation
RANK/LEVEL: C-
SUMMARY:
Koji was not born a human. He was born a TREE!

His body is more tree than man. He has sap for blood, leaves for hair, and bark skin. Due to his strange body, Koji has enhanced durability, strength, and survivability. He can lift his current weight which is variable. His skin is composed of dense and durable wood being able to take a beating from average people and can take bullets from a handgun easily, a shotgun or a semi-automatic not so much. Koji can extend parts of his body to make himself taller, have longer limbs. He can grow cherry blossoms out of his hands. Koji can grow back body parts within hours or days of injuries. Limbs take about 3-5 posts to grow back. Everything below the neck is a thread or 12 posts and the head takes also takes a thread or 15 posts. He doesn't need his head to live but its very useful for talking and seeing. He can live off of water and sunshine instead of food. He can also talk to trees and plants. He is also more active and stronger during the day, especially on rainy or sunny days. When koji's in a good mood he is slightly stronger and more durable. About a tenth stronger at most.


WEAKNESSES/LIMITATIONS:
Every strength he has he has weaknesses.

Koji is weaker in overcast weather, and at nighttime, due to the fact, his central source of energy is gone. He also doesn't take well to snow or winter as a whole since his body's healing factor and growth ability is halved. When it's overcast he is sluggish and clumsier having a harder time focusing and doing simple tasks, he has the same problem in winter, he also gets sleepy and lazy. He is also insanely weak to fire, that is one of the few things that can kill him quickly. Due to his quirk, he doesn't feel human sensations. He doesn't feel pain the way humans so he doesn't feel pleasure or hunger or thirst or anything. But he does have feelings, and they can be hurt. His feelings affect his body. He becomes stronger when happier and become weaker while depressed. His skin and hair are healthier while happy and the reverse while upset. He can die of depression since his body doesn't react well to stress.

When Koji loses a limb, he has a hard time controlling it for the first day since he has to adjust to it. If he loses his head, he loses his memory of the incident and a few hours before. If he loses everything below the neck, it takes a few days for him to adjust to it again. Also, he needs the energy to grow his body back or to do anything more than existing. Also, his fingers are clumsy and prone to damaging fragile things or people. In general, he is very clumsy. Also, he needs water and sunlight to live. But in emergencies, he can eat raw meat to energize himself. When he's in a bad mood he's half as durable and strong. He's also a magnet for bugs in the summer due to his tree sap for blood. Which always makes him smell very sweet. He smells like maple syrup.

RANK/LEVEL: C
SUMMARY:
"Talking to plants make gardening easier." Due to Koji's ability to talk to plants he can understand their needs and wants. But most plants are shady bitches Koji has found out.
