Personal Description

Name: Meridia Lucas (Lucas Meridia)

Nickname: N/A

Age: 31 (first appearance)

Date of Birth: May 14th

Gender: Female

Hero Name: Dawnbreaker



Occupation: Vigilante (formerly), Pro Hero.

Background (Spoilers for WFAF): Meridia was born in Detroit, a crime-ridden city that only got worse upon the inception of the Quirk phenomena. Being raised in such an environment and finding immense distaste in both the form of hero culture Captain Celebrity was mostly responsible for perpetuating as well as the general state of her hometown, she committed herself to vigilantism at 15 years old. Though her efforts were mostly driven by a desire to clean up the streets of her hometown, an ulterior motive of hers was to become the number one hero while she was at it – one more famous and undeniably superior to the likes of Captain Celebrity. She desired fame, but wanted to earn it by her rules on account of the heroes in Detroit being largely as ineffective as the police when it came to doling out justice in any meaningful way. In this method of disassociating herself with both the police and heroes, she did indeed make a name for herself – both with the people she sought to protect and the criminals she was trying to stop.



Upon an extremely underground gang discovering her, she was challenged to a fight. Arrogant as she was for fame at the time, she accepted, and although she was a talented dirty fighter at the time in her own right, she was overwhelmed in battle both due to both her lack of experience and the namesake arming sword she still utilizes in her modern, Pro Hero incarnation. The only reason for her survival under that incident was due to sheer chance – at the same time she was challenged to her ill-fated fight, a visiting Pro Hero from Japan that had recently graduated from U.A. High School had been coordinating with the police in order to put an end to the underground organization once and for all. Stubborn and obstructive to the raid as she became shortly thereafter, instead of being thrown in jail for her vigilantism and getting in the way of the operation, the visiting pro offered her the opportunity to start a new life in Japan and get a real Pro Hero education while she was at it. She took the offer.

Personality: Meridia is somewhat blunt at times but always well-meaning and will often subdue her bluntness in favor of attempting to be understanding to those she speaks to. That said, an inner bitterness and venom in her personality can very easily seep through into her tone of voice when dealing with particularly nasty villains. Her moral code, influenced by her youth, is one that allows her to perform the less-savory jobs other pros would opt not to take without issue, though it also leads her to think younger heroes-in-training should be given more intense training while interning than other pros would otherwise be inclined to agree with subjecting them to. This, in conjunction with her self-confidence, leads her to be mostly content acting as a loner Pro Hero under most circumstances, though she is fully capable of teaming up and performing in a sufficiently professional manner when the situation calls for it.



Quirk and Abilities

Quirk: Light Barriers

Type: Emitter

Description: Meridia’s Quirk allows her to create barriers of immensely durable hard light at will. These barriers are capable of serving as platforms, shields, prisons or even repurposed offensive attacks by manner of being shoved into her opponents when they least expect it. Although they do require focus to maintain, Merida has long since learned to offset this limitation through rigorous training sessions both during her time back in America as a vigilante and training at U.A.



+ Advantages:

-Powerful defensive potential.

-Flexible utilization in battle.

-Protection of civilians from a distance.

- Disadvantages:

-Straightforward in most forms.

-Requires focus at first to activate/maintain.

-Repeated powerful attacks require additional focus to be provided in order for the barrier to be maintained.

Equipment:

-Hero Outfit - Dawnbreaker's hero costume is designed to epitomize what Meirida wishes to embody without bordering anywhere close to provocative or too cheesy in its representation of her justice-seeking ways. As an armored costume, it endows her with not inconsiderable protection against attacks even without the utilization of her Quirk in battle, and bears her symbol upon the crest over her chest. Her support item is her arming sword and namesake, Dawnbreaker, which she often utilizes to expedite the process and ease of which she calls upon her Quirk.
