Takeuchi Kon (Roar)

THE BASICS

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Kon is considered "tall" for his age, he has fair facial features and white-milk hair that is often spiked up, but for more appropriate occasions, it is simply let down and considered a bit more "messy" and short. He has bright blue eyes, but they're often covered by his see-through black blindfold. His eyes are extremely sensitive to sunlight and the blindfold is specially made for his case to make sure his eyesight is protected.

He often wears clothing that protects most of his body, with his fashion often being jeans, long pants, long-sleeved shirts, high-neck jackets and so on. He even does this when it would be more appropriate for him to wear something less protected in the summer.

PERSONALITY

Kon is considered "intelligent" by some, but in a way that puts him at a arm's length away from people. Not in the sense that he got bullied or picked on for it, more so the opposite. He can engage in conversation, acts fairly knowledgeable, and the sort of guy that most can get along with and tends to have high grades across the board, prospects high. 

With this in mind, one would think; what's the issue? He can't fully buy into it, thinking of life as a stage, an obstacle. If one were to talk with him long enough, they'd often get frustrated. He would boil down every topic into it's bare simplicity. A fan of football? He would describe it as a bunch of studs kicking a rubber ball around. He's not humourless, but he often finds trouble taking things as they are. If he were to try and make something more than it is, he'd be lying or one would know that he's just playing nice, as he's often not euthanistic about trying to dig deeper into meanings that aren't there.

At first, this was a small quirk but as he aged, this became more pronounced and somewhat alienated him from people. He's still considered tolerable enough to the point that friends will often push him to be in more social settings, but he's slowly growing a preference of being alone in his thoughts.

In short, he has a general indifference to live and as such, often finds it easier to "cruise" through it rather than put in the hard work. It's laziness, but not outright.

BACKGROUND HISTORY

There isn't an inspiration of heroism or tragedy behind Kon, rather, he had a decent upbringing and a supporting family. There might've been ups and downs, but nothing notable that would be different from the typical family. In-fact, one could argue that because it was too simple that Kon doesn't aspire for much in his life, he hasn't had any struggles, he might've had one or two cases of being bullied but which child hasn't? He didn't let it define him, he has no love nor hatred for the world.

This dilemma has followed him for most of his upbringing, when kids would be asked what they want to do and some would answer "Fireman," "Doctor," Kon would simply say "I don't know." and he definitely has potential, as most of his grades are scored high despite putting much effort into studying or into homework. He just doesn't know how to apply it, or where his passions lie.

He caught onto this dilemma more than most would his age, and that's when he decided if he can't bring himself to be passionate about something, he'd focus on a career to force himself out of his shell. U.A. and this was quite a surprise to most he knew, as they expected a more "normal" career out of him, and not one of heroism.

After much discussion and debate, Kon sticked to this decision and enrolled in U.A. without much difficulty.

THE ARMORY

His hero costume often leads with him having spiked up hair, a see-through black blindfold that protect his eyesight from the sun, along with a jumpsuit that reaches to his neck, protecting it. It is durable leather, intended to not limit his movement and provide solid protection, even if an opponent were to try and aim for his neck.

QUIRK & SKILLS

---

BARK

TYPE: Emitter
RANK/LEVEL: D+
SUMMARY:
By activation, Kon is able to generate gas in his throat by putting in vocal stress. The greatest application of this is when Kon shouts, and this gas can be converted into a number of effects. The most common one is creating concussive force, but he can also create effects of fire and cold temperatures. These are the only effects he is able to achieve at this rank, and doesn't offer a lot of versatility in what these temperatures can do.

The concussive force is strong enough to do severe damage to wood and can go up to a range of 10 metres, and the fire/cold elements are very minor, in terms of cold, he would only be able to give someone a slight  chill, and in terms of heat, he would only be able to give someone a sweat at best.

WEAKNESSES/LIMITATIONS:
There's a very simple weakness for the quirk; aim for the throat, and you'll find that he'll struggle to use his quirk at all.

When he overuses his quirk, it leads to a sore throat, meaning the amount of vocal stress he can put into his quirk lessens, and dampens the power of the quirk. His current limit is shouting up to six posts before his throat starts to get sore, severely underpowering his quirk. His total limit is ten posts.

RANK/LEVEL: C-
SUMMARY:
He's able to play the bass, he tried singing at one point but due to the nature of his quirk, often thinks that he puts enough vocal stress in his throat as it is, and wants to have a background role if a band is involved.
