A small thin man, Michael's quirk is immediately obvious on sight. He is covered in thick, soft brown feathers, complete with large patterned wings and long antenna. He's unhealthily thin, though that can be difficult to see through the fluff and the feathers. He has dark eyelashes that frame his unusually large eyes, and in general his appearance strikes an odd balance between eerie and oddly cute.
RUMOR/SECRET: | It's rumored he buys and eats socks to fuel his quirk. |
Michael is a friend warm man with an energetic spirit. He's always encouraging others, and has an odd sort of fatherly nature about him. He tends to be forgetful and clueless, often socially out of the loop. He doesn't talk much, with a clear preference to just listen. He get's very excited about merchandise. He collects the merch of his co-workers, and works closely with the team making his merchandise. (There are over thirty different Mothman brand socks.) In spite of his quiet nature, he's very enthusiastic, and loves sharing in the enthusiasm of others. He knows that part of being a hero is a good role model, so he often pressures himself to an unhealthy level to always be perfect. He tends to be self deprecating, with unrealistic expectations of himself. He loves terrible dad jokes and listening to vintage records.
BACKGROUND HISTORY
Born to a young Phillipino couple in a rough American neighborhood, Michael grew up with loving parents trying to protect him from a life of poverty and violence. After seeing a fair share of crime in his childhood, he started taking boxing classes, paying his way through by doing chores for the teacher. He decided he wanted a better way to fight back, so he applied for an American hero school. After a year studying and saving money, his parents helping him apply for an exchange student program to study at U.A. Michael fell in love with Japan, making many friends during his time studying there, and studying as the sidekick of the number six ranked hero of the time. After graduation, Michael went back to America, spent a few years as a sidekick, then joined a small-time hero agency. Eventually, his parents passed away of old age, and he decided to return to Japan. By this time he was an up-and-coming American hero, so making the transition was a bit more tricky than the first time. Over the years, he continued studying and working. Eventually, he founded his own hero agency and started taking on sidekicks. Now he is 43 years old, has recently adopted a little girl named Hibiki, and is still going strong as a popular high ranking hero.
THE ARMORY
- Hero Costume: A simple dark brown and silver costume with various spots and markings that imitate what you might find on a wild moth (other than a few bright red accessories that his PR agent insisted on, to make him "pop")
- Phone: An older mobile phone used for taking emergency signals, texting his daughter, and searching up the definition of kids' slang words

QUIRK & SKILLS
QUIRK NAME HERE
TYPE: Moth
RANK/LEVEL: A+
SUMMARY:
Although fairly simple, training has made his quirk a useful tool. Moth is a mutation quirk that causes the wielder to have a certain amount of moth-like physiology. This includes wings that allow for quick and precise flight, a certain level of night vision, and heightened senses provided by the delicate antennae. (The feathers also provide additional warmth, but this is not particularly notable.) After several decades of training, he has reached a point of great talent. His quirk can be used to see clearly up to three hundred feet in complete darkness, fly with great precision at up to 40 mph and to altitudes of 20,000 ft, and for him to be completely aware of any sounds or movement within a fifteen foot radius. He is more suited to work at night due to his eyes being sensitive to bright light. Heavy winds can slow down his flight speed by a large amount. Thick fog, dust, or anything else obscuring his antennae not only removes his heightened senses, but makes them weaker than the average person's. He cannot wear armor or other equipment, or he becomes too heavy to fly.

THE SKILLS
NAME: Fisticuffs
RANK/LEVEL: A
SUMMARY:
With several years of martial arts and boxing under his belt, Michael is talented when it comes to unarmed combat. His blows depend more on precision than raw strength, and are assisted by his lithe speed. Although bordering on expertise, he still is at a natural disadvantage against ranged weaponry.
