Dexter doesn't look like anything necessarily fanciful, or even overbearing with his attire. Generally he will be seen wearing regular jeans, t-shirts, hoodies and overall he gives off more an impression of a lack of a fashion sense. His eyes otherwise are perhaps his most defining feature, where they seem to be always in a constant state of being half-lidded with the impression of exhaustion.

HISTORY

Born of a moderately wealthy family, Dexter his siblings and varying branches of cousins all lived in a comfortable mid-western farming community. While not the everyday place where geniuses or pro heroes were cultivated. The landscape served as both a valuable field of practice for Dexter and his family; but it also attributed a wealth of time and through family resources the ability to invest in tools, books and varying pieces of learning methods for Dexter to experiment with. Although his pragmatism was a valuable tool for his development, he found a growing interest in the myths, legends and fairy-tales of the past.

As the years went on, his closest sibling idolized the image of perfection and sought its' glorious shine. Dexter for the most part, took it as a challenge as the younger of the two siblings. Pushing himself to be smarter, faster, stronger and generally a more practiced individual. Though the two never truly tested each other, somewhere deep within' Dexter presumed his sibling was perhaps better in a large pool of skills, seeings how he spent time learning; instead of competing where Dexter chose to focus. Although this competitive nature did spark the development of his quirk. Taking an unusual twist on the familial commonalities to fire, earth or in his brothers' case, Lava. Dexter on the other-hand, had something akin to a transformation quirk; although it developed to take in the image of legends, myths and otherwise superstitious beings; most of his family figured it was less that limitation was fact, and more that Dexter's fascination developed it to fit to that mold.

In the coming years, Dexter in the shadow of his brother; strong-armed his way through grades, school and class. Finding himself at the top of the class, in a face of arrogance he figured he was the best; but knew in a weird way he could always be better. But how? This question came to fruition when he heard of the news of his brother and cousin being sent to a school across seas. U.A. Academy. It was then that Dexter found another mote of competition to spark. And with little time to waste, the young myth embodied boy dedicated himself towards not just succeeding in his education; but to break through the molds even further. He didn't want to wait for his own turn to come.
Through this mentality, Dexter found himself granted the ability to skip a grade; showing promise both as an individual of education. But having shown the promise of being a talented user of his quirk for the powers that be, good; they hoped. Dexter, ill-minded to care what side of the coin he fought on, as long as he fought. Took it as a general compliment, and demanded that he was granted the same treatment as his sibling and cousin. And to be sent to U.A. Academy; but not to stop just there. He wanted to be with them. That way could sit in the same class, and smile towards his family with the burning fires that be within' his spirit. As far as he was concerned, what better place to progress than beside those who he strove to be better? And who knows, maybe others will cast larger shadows to overcome.
