BACKGROUND

HISTORY: Fumikage Tokoyami’s MHA Wiki Page

PERSONALITY:
What impression does your character give when meeting someone for the first time? How does the first impression differ from your character’s true nature?
Upon first meeting Fumikage, it's not uncommon for others to be put off or even frightened by Fumikage's presence. He is a reserved, quiet, and serious individual, and it takes a little while for him to open up to others. Not to mention, his dark and supposed gloomy nature can make others wary or uncomfortable around him, especially given his affinity for darkness and his Quirk's strength growing in the shadows. However, as Fumikage opens up to those he trusts, his true nature begins to shine. Though still on the quieter and introverted side, Fumikage is very dedicated and caring to those who are important to him. He goes out of his way to thank those who assist him and to offer his own help to those in need, and should harm come to those he cares about, he becomes enraged or indignant and wishes to avenge them. Fumikage also has a deep interest in the gothic, macabre, and all things "dark", and considers himself a "creature of the dark" due to both his interests and his Quirk. This isn't because of an evil or villainous streak within him, it's just something he finds fascinating and interesting; he's just a polite goth boy at heart. He is rather insecure about his interests though, and knows not everyone will get his particular brand of quirkiness, thus often making him hide his interests until he's comfortable with those around him. Overall, Fumikage may appear stoic, cold, and distant, but underneath he's a dedicated, dependable ally and overall genuine arcane nerd with a flair for the dramatic.

How does your character handle stress? What do they do in an emergency?
Fumikage is actually one who undergoes stress quite frequently, as hero work often involves rescuing people from dangerous situations and doing battle with fearsome villains. He isn't one who normally gets overwhelmed by emotions, and usually handles tough situations with a level head and careful planning. During combat situations Fumikage is able to take on stressful situations rather well, doing his best to handle the situation with confidence and quick thinking. He gives it all in emergencies and presses forward with fierce determination, and shows great dedication towards his allies. However, there is a limit to his calm, calculated self, and Fumikage's desire to help others and keep them from harm sometimes makes him act impulsively; when he realized that his mentor Hawks was in danger against the villain Dabi, Fumikage risked his life to go and save him, even as his classmates and other heroes tried to dissuade him from entering the dangerous situation. Sometimes his desire to rescue others and keep his friends and allies safe can result in him feeling enraged, indignant, or desperate, which can inadvertently influence Dark Shadow and make his Quirk become unruly and unstable; in moments when he loses control of Dark Shadow, Fumikage still wishes to keep others safe, begging them to stay away so that they aren't killed despite the risk to himself. These moments do not happen very often, but for all of Fumikage's maturity and level-headedness, he is still human, and still a teenager who can get overwhelmed in extreme circumstances.

What are your character’s ambitions/goals? Why are they important to your character?
Fumikage, like most young hopefuls his age, has aspirations of becoming a pro hero. He has put all of his training and efforts into becoming a pro hero who can be relied upon to save others. This desire to become a pro hero may be a common goal shared among many teens his age, but it's one he aims for because he looks up to the pro heroes before him and strives to match their power and skill, even vowing to keep up with his mentor Hawks, who is ranked as the Number 2 Hero in Japan. Fumikage's power and Quirk may not seem very heroic at first glance, and his affinity for darkness and the macabre may seem to align with those who follow the Villain path. But despite his interests in the gothic and dark themes, Fumikage wishes to be a hero others could look up to, even if he does so from the shadows. He wishes to show others that even those with a frightening Quirk can still be heroic in their own way. For him, being recognized for his strength and his journey to one day become a pro hero is the most important thing, even moreso than the glory of being ranked Number 1. He certainly has enough pride to dislike being looked down upon or underestimated, but he also doesn't go chasing fame the way some other heroes do. He wants to make it to the top, that is for certain, but what number he falls under once he makes it to the top is not his biggest concern. He merely wishes to prove his strength and ability to others, and be the best hero of darkness he can be.

POWERS

SKILLS/ABILITIES: 
🌒 Dark Shadow (Quirk): Fumikage's Quirk is Dark Shadow, a sentient shadow monster who spawns from his body and whom he can manipulate and control freely. Fumikage uses Dark Shadow to lunge forward and attack those around him, or even to grab things out of reach and pull Fumikage or anyone else to safety. Dark Shadow's power and energy is dependant on the light around him. In the light, Dark Shadow is more manageable and easily controlled, but his power level is lower and his energy consumption is higher; when he runs out of energy, he returns back to Fumikage's body to rest and recharge. In the dark Dark Shadow has more energy and is much stronger in terms of strength and defence, but he is much more difficult to control and risks running rampant of his own free will. Even his personality and speech changes with the light; he is more friendly and docile in the light, but more violent and monstrous in total darkness. Fumikage's own emotions also influence Dark Shadow's powers, with more negative emotions resulting in a more powerful, unruly, and violent Dark Shadow.

🌒 Black Abyss (Quirk): Fumikage's Special Move, he has Dark Shadow envelop his body, wearing Dark Shadow like a piece of armour. Doing so helps Fumikage to increase his own fighting strength and defence and mitigate his close-combat weakness.

🌒 Covert Black-Ops Arms (Quirk Extension): An extension to Black Abyss, Fumikage extends Dark Shadow's arms to great lengths and can use them to attack enemies.

🌒 Piercing Twilight Claws (Quirk Extension): An extension to Black Abyss, Fumikage shoots out Dark Shadow's claws with a great speed to attack his enemies.

🌒 Black Fallen Angel (Quirk): Fumikage lays down on top of Dark Shadow, who in turn lifts Fumikage's body and uses his natural levitation abilities to fly the both of them through the air.

🌒 Sabbath (Quirk Extension): Combining both Black Fallen Angel and Black Abyss, Fumikage switches mid-flight from Black Fallen Angel into Black Abyss, maintaining his momentum and using it to deal a decisive blow.

🌒 Ragnarok (Quirk): Summoning Dark Shadow in extremely dark circumstances, Fumikage allows Dark Shadow to grow exponentially, almost to the point where even Fumikage can't control him. Using this excessive strength, Dark Shadow lashes out, dealing devastating damage to those around him.

🌒 Womb (Quirk Extension): An extension to Ragnarok, Fulikage grows Dark Shadow to great size and uses him to envelop an enemy, wrapping his shadowy body around them like a cocoon and preventing them from escaping.

🌒 Fleeting Blow (Quirk Extension): Using the powers of both Black Abyss and Ragnarok, Fumikage channels the power of Dark Shadow into his fist and hits his opponent with a massive claw attack.

🌒 Total Release (Quirk): Fumikage charges Dark Shadow using several sources of darkness over time, then unleashes its full potential, increasing its size and power by several orders of magnitude. This monstrous form allows Fumikage to unleash incredibly strong attacks against even the most powerful of villains.

🌒 Light of Baldur (Quirk Extension): Using the power of the Total Release technique, Fumikage enlarges Dark Shadow to its largest and most powerful form, then uses Dark Shadow fist to pound a target into the ground.

🌒 Increased Strength and Speed: Thanks to both his Quirk's natural strength and his hero training while at U.A., Fumikage is consistently proven to be one of the strongest students in Class 1-A, equalling him to the likes of One For All wielder Izuku Midoriyama, son of the pro hero Endeavor Shoto Todoroki, and young prodigy Katsuki Bakugo. He has incredible reflexes thanks to his training, and has shown that even without Dark Shadow's enhancement he is capable of taking quite a bit of damage before being knocked out.

🌒Tactical Intellect: Fumikage may not be the most academically efficient student, but he has been proven multiple times to be capable of thinking tactically to gain an advantage. He was clever enough to use Dark Shadow to cover his team's blind spots during the Human Cavalry Battle at the Sports Festival, to use his knowledge of his opponent's Quirk to trick and trap Shihai Kuroio in his own cloak, and made use of Geten's attack and Dabi's tendency to monologue in order to escape from the villain even though he was at a disadvantage due to all the fire and light around him.

🌒 Cooperativeness: Fumikage is shown time and time again to be an extremely loyal hero and is very easy to work with despite his reserved and serious nature. He understands the value of working as a team and is willing to back down and let others take the charge if need be, doing what is best for the whole group rather than seek out fame and glory for himself. He is known as a very dependable and fierce ally, and even the Ultra Archive Book ranks his cooperativeness at a 5/5.

🌒 Musical Talents: Fumikage also happens to be able to play the electric guitar, and very skillfully too.

NERFING: Upon arrival, Dark Shadow will still be able to spawn and be used, but his power will be significantly reduced, even in the dark. Fumikage will only be able to use some of his Signature Moves in the dark/low-light settings (including Black Abyss, Covert Black-Ops Arms, and Piercing Twilight Claws), and will be reduced to using basic attacks during the day/in settings with lots of light. During the day Dark Shadow will also be a lot smaller, and will have to spend more time within Fumikage or in non-combat scenarios in order to conserve his energy. Also, Fumikage will not be able to use his most powerful attacks (Black Fallen Angel, Sabbath, Fleeting Blow, Ragnarok, Womb, Total Release, or Light of Baldur).

If any of these nerfs are seen as not enough, I am willing to make more adjustments as per the mods requests!

WEAKNESSES: Fumikage, while physically strong and agile, has stated before that his weakness lies in close-quarters combat; while his power is superior at mid-to-long range combat, if someone gets past Dark Shadow and attacks Fumikage directly, he would be left vulnerable. Fumikage has developed Black Abyss in order to help mitigate this, but enemies who get the jump on him would be able to get past this defence. Thus, one of his weaknesses would be in scenarios where he was confronted with a close-quarters combat situation where he was unable to use Dark Shadow, as he would not be able to do much more than evade and try to get distance between himself and the attacker. Not to say he's totally helpless, but he is definitely at a disadvantage when an opponent is up close and personal and he cannot use his Quirk.

Also, Fumikage's biggest strength is also his biggest weakness; the more darkness Dark Shadow has access to, the stronger he becomes, but this comes at the risk of Fumikage losing control of Dark Shadow entirely. In the dark Dark Shadow has more energy and is much stronger in terms of strength and defence, but he is much more difficult to control and risks running rampant of his own free will, possibly to the point of overpowering Fumikage himself, making Fumikage helpless to stop his rampaging Quirk and requiring external help to calm the Quirk down. Fumikage has been learning ways to harness this berserker form of Dark Shadow and control it, but the risk is always present. As Fumikage gains more strength, the risk of Dark Shadow losing control also grows.
