Personal Description

Name: Ichiro Sato (Sato Ichiro)

Nickname: N/A

Age: 33 (first appearance)

Date of Birth: March 6th

Gender: Male

Hero Name: Quantum Shinobi



Occupation: Pro Hero

Background (Spoilers for WFAF): Ichiro Sato's past is one shrouded in mystery to most who are aware of his existence among the innumerable Pro Heroes throughout modern Japan, though not due to any intent of his own. As a Pro Hero, while he fully intends to come across and behave as amicably and in as friendly a manner as possible, he's also prone to embracing the mystique his hero name and costume have built up around him after his first few missions as a hero with his own agency. Due to this, while he will openly discuss his past with anyone who thinks to ask, he's never gone out of his way to make his past known to the vast majority of people he comes across - alongside the fact very few people see his face when he's on active duty, the mystery surrounding him and the reputation that earned him slowly developed over the years. In truth, though, Ichiro's past isn't one of particularly great intrigue, though it does posses a few noteworthy moments spruced throughout that made Ichiro into the man he is today.



Perhaps somewhat understandably, given his upbringing in one of the latest generations of hero society, Ichiro was born with the intense desire to become a Pro Hero and an almost unyielding amount of stamina and energy to utilize in order to make that dream of his come true. Upon reaching an old enough age that he could make strides in preparing himself for the inevitably brutal entrance exam he expected of the hero academy he aspired to enter - U.A. High School - Ichiro signed up for self-defense and martial arts courses to hone his skills. Within the first few months of his training alone, Ichiro and his sensei found that he possessed a prodigious level of aptitude and potential in terms of his talents with martial arts, though there was one thing that held him back from being a true hero from a young age. In spite of (or perhaps even due to) his talent in martial arts, Ichiro lacked a sense of restraint and often went overboard in even mere sparring matches due to a mix of both his aptitude and the lack of competition he found among his peers. Over time, however, his sensei instilled a mantra in him which helped him discern when to stop fighting without maiming or brutalizing his opponent. Even after his successful admittance and eventual graduation from U.A., this unique mantra/tic of his stayed with him all the way to the present day.

Personality: Ichiro is an amicable and overwhelmingly kind individual who will prioritize the pillars of self-restraint in battle and the code of conduct he perceives should be expected of a Pro Hero above all else in service of others. Though when interacting with other pros (and sometimes even other people) he will be willing to let his sense of humor show and occasionally tease/share banter when the stakes are low, when the time comes that he has to get in the zone and focus solely on his mission, he'll become an efficient machine for as long as it takes to see his task to its completion. He's also known to be down-to-earth and even somewhat charming to those who know of who he is beneath the mask of Quantum Shinobi, and his sense of loyalty is as unshakable as it is immutable. Insofar as fame is concerned, he will neither seek it out nor rebuke it should he stumble into a scenario in which news outlets see fit to publicize his existence.



Quirk and Abilities

Quirk: Kinetic Charge

Type: Emitter

Description: Ichiro's Quirk allows his body to store energy through movement, enabling Shinobi to build up enough charge to execute his opponent in a decisive burst of offensive power that often manifests in the form of wispy trails of light near his limbs when it's about to be unleashed. Due to his 'countdown' tic, this release of his built-up energy can consist of a series of strikes or a single devastating strike after he counts down from three to zero toward the tail end of any given fight.



+ Advantages:

-Powerful offensive potential.

-Can be used more than once per battle/used tactically.

-Exponential growth in terms of kinetic charge absorbed over the course of a fight.

- Disadvantages:

-Energy cannot be repurposed for defense.

-Energy is always drained entirely upon being used as a tool for offense.

-Too many uses can drain Ichiro's stamina.

Equipment:

-Hero Outfit - Ichiro's hero costume is designed to both add to the mystique of his hero persona as well as protect his vital organs without inherently revealing that what he wears beneath his seemingly unarmored parts of his body is, in reality, also armored. In addition to the merely practical effect his armored costume provides him and how it doesn't restrict his movement in any capacity, his costume also doubles to seperate his off-duty persona from his on-duty behavior/identity. Alongside his costume itself, Ichiro also utilizes twin escrima sticks that carry powerful electric currents within them which assist him in incapacitating his opponents without necessarily having to resort to using his Quirk. These escrima sticks are also durable enough to assist him in focusing his Quirk when he does use it in order to make its offensive impact that much greater.
