███ Short Introduction

Aquila D'angelo is an Italian-Japanese student at U.A., in his second year studying to become a Pro Hero. His family moved to Japan from Italy while he was in middle school.



███ History

Aquila was born to an Italian Pro Hero and Japanese photojournalist. He lived comfortably in the countryside and aspired to be like his father when he grew up. His father taught him combat techniques from a young age, and would often take him out flying, as they both had wings. However, at school Aquila was often bullied for his feminine appearance.



During middle school, Aquila's paternal grandfather, a Quirkless priest with a vendetta against Pro Heroes, visited and tried to convince Aquila's parents to rescind Aquila's application to a hero school in Rome. When they would not, his grandfather went out of his way to condemn all Pro Heroes, claiming that all Quirks were of the devil and that in using them, Pro Heroes damned themselves. Aquila's parents decided to move to Japan and cut ties with Aquila's grandfather.In Japan, Aquila quickly learned about U.A. High School and was determined to get in. He began to train harder. A few days before the entrance exam, he sprained one of his wings. Discouraged, but still determined, he took the exam and passed, despite his limited mobility.

███ Appearance

Aquila is rather tall. He has blond hair that reaches his waist, pale skin, and dark red eyes. He inherited his cream-colored wings from his father. Additionally, his right ear is pierced. He has an overall feminine appearance and is often mistaken for a girl.



At school, Aquila usually wears the typical U.A. boys' outfit, with black knee-high boots instead of the usual brown loafers. However, on very rare occasions, they will wear a skirt instead of pants.



Aquila's casual style (not pictured) is rather laid-back, comprised of slightly oversized t-shirts, short shorts, basic jewelry, and sneakers. He takes great pride in his relatively androgynous style.



Aquila's hero costume is inspired by Greco-Roman attire, consisting of a light grey tunic, light blue sash and half-skirt, a gold-colored belt, and Roman-style sandals with metal toes and soles (with some padding).



███ Personality

Aquila presents himself as friendly, caring, patient, modest, and somewhat motherly. These days, he has little trouble making friends and putting people at ease. His kindness knows no bounds. This side of him came about by his mildly religious upbringing as an effort to embody Christian virtues. He strives to be as loving and forgiving as possible, though even he has his limits and will occasionally get particularly angry--though he is always quick to apologize and offer to make it up. However, he's a bit naive and often too forgiving, making amends where ties should be cut.

When in combat, Aquila prefers fair, clean fights, and offers mercy whenever appropriate. Additionally, while he continues to work towards being a hero, he also mourns the fact that doing so means leaving people injured, even if said people are villains.

◣ A b i l i t i e s ◥

Aquila has proven to be a capable individual and strong hero. He specializes in medium ranged combat, but has decent range. He also rarely stays still in combat, making him difficult to target.





███ Quirk

Aquila is quite resilient, able to withstand multiple direct and powerful attacks without sustaining major injuries. He also exhibits fire resistance to a small degree.Aquila has impressive stamina from his training from a young age.Aquila has determination and drive that surpasses even that of his father, and will go to great lengths to accomplish what he sets his mind to.Aquila is fluent in Italian and Japanese.

Seraphim: In essence, Aquila shares the abilities of a seraph, a high-ranking angel made of fire and light. Namely, he can produce and manipulate fire and light. He also has large wings, giving him the ability to fly.

His fire power works in a similar manner to firebending in Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, and is fueled by his own willpower; the more determined he feels, the stronger and hotter the flames are. His flames are weak to water, and if he himself is wet, he can't generate fire.

His light power has less direct combat applications than his flames. He can warp light to create insubstantial illusions that can serve to distract an opponent. These illusions can be no larger than he is, and as they're insubstantial, won't provide any real protection. The larger an illusion is, the harder it is to sustain, and he can only create one at a time. He also can't create one when it's dark.

Though he is slightly fire-resistant, he isn't immune and can still be burned. Using his fire for extended periods can cause overheating, exhaustion, and dizziness. Trying to sustain large illusions for extended periods will cause vision impairment and exhaustion. Additionally, his wings are rather sensitive, and the base of his wings and between his shoulder blades are particularly weak to attacks.





Moves

Illusory Twin : Aquila creates a second, false version of himself that copies his movements. The copy cannot generate fire, which makes them easy to tell apart. This move is usually used whilst evading attacks.

Flaming Daggers : Aquila creates two jets of flames while holding his fists closed. The effect looks like daggers, held with their blades pointed away from his body.



Heavenly Judgement : Aquila flies over his opponent and shoots many small fireballs downwards, mimicking rain.



Hellfire Whip : Aquila creates a thin stream of fire that's semi-tactile, and uses it like a whip. He can't sustain it for very long.



Angel of Fire : Aquila's ultimate move. He produces a coating of fire that hovers over any exposed skin and his wings, and engages in hand-to-hand combat. This move is difficult for him to sustain, and can result in serious burns if he isn't careful.

███ Trivia

His first name means "eagle".

He plays violin and harp.

He's incredibly romantic, and also incredibly oblivious to people's romantic feelings for him. Subtlety does not work on him.

The only reason he doesn't have three pairs of wings like the Biblical description of seraphim is because I (the artist) didn't want to draw that many.

He's loosely based off of Libra from Fire Emblem: Awakening. He also shares resemblance to Arthur Angel from Blue Exorcist.

He's pansexual.
