Shinra Redgrave

SHINRA REDGRAVE

BASIC INFORMATION

APPEARANCE AND PERSONALITY

Appearance:
As stated above Shinra is very easy to spot in crowds due to the fact that he's an anthropomorphic cat thanks to his quirk which in his words makes him a very fluffy and cuddly guy. Its also somewhat due to his fur that gives him a rather big appearance, of course he always tells people that its all muscle which he'll be happy to how off if anyone is curious. If there was any part of his body that is pretty "round" in a sense is his face with his big fluffy cheeks that spread out when he gives out his signature toothy grin.

His tail is pretty long considering he looks like your run of the mill tabby cat which makes pants a little awkward to go out and buy so he's had to learn a few sewing tricks to fix that himself. Also with his tail is his digitigrade feet that make conventional shoes impossible to wear so a lot of his allowance has gone to getting himself some shoes that he can actually wear, of course thanks to the pawpads on both of his feet and hands it makes walking barefoot not a real problem for him. His hands don't suffer a heavy mutation from his quirk, their still opposable of course but they do look like elongated cat toes, with beans attached.

Personality:
Shinra hates being called a big lazy cat, sure he likes to take the occasional nap but its not like he's sleeping through all of first period or anything. He just doesn't like being saddled with that kind of stereotype thanks to his quirk and of course he will tolerate it with his friends because well understanding when its just teasing is what makes people good friends. Good friends are something the big lug cherishes with the heart that is as big as he is. He's willing to try and make friends with just about anyone he crosses pass with and does what he can to get a sense of camaraderie with them. When it comes to himself a good way to earn his trust is either through his stomach or using your fists to show him just how tough a person can be. He's got a competitive streak thanks to his interests in pro wrestling as a hobby and his lineage going through a lot of different combat sports; it would be an understatement that fighting runs through his veins which is why combat training is one of his stronger courses.

Speaking of combat Shinra himself likes to get into scraps with people and is most likely to charge into the belly of a villain attack if it means he can get a clean hit on a villain by surprise. Rushing into danger is an instinct that comes to him naturally so much that one has to question if his flight or fight response is missing the "flight" part of it, especially due to how grandiose he makes himself out to be during a fight as a way to pump himself and the crowd if possible up. If he even thinks he can do something to a villain or help someone deal with one then there's not a whole lot one can do to change his mind because he can't just stand there and not do something so in order to stop him some physical force is greatly needed.

Its during conflict that Shinra shows off a side of himself that some might find surprising of him as he always seems to be a general decent guy with a big heart. A big heart is also sort of the reason why the guy seems so passionate about things such as his friends and his hobbies and even fighting against villainy, which is probably why he seems to actually enjoy fighting to the point where he'll tire himself out going hand to hand with people who decide to tussle with him. Most of it is due to his own upbringing and while he does understand the difference between a spar between friends and classmates and a fight for one's own life and the life of others that won't stop him from going all out in either scenario.

HISTORY

Born in the USA in a small little hamlet in the state of Oregon Shinra was born as a surrogate baby to a loving couple of fathers, an American vigilante and a Japanese pro wrestler who could not be more happier to have a child to call their own. His japanese father was even more thrilled when Shinra grew and suddenly developed a quirk that was a more advanced version of his own quirk as he was the provider for the surrogate, so a lot of attention was given to him by his loving "papa" as well as a sense of right and wrong from his american "pops" who always made sure that he was on the right path of being a good man.

life in their town was pretty quaint if not problematic, the few people who disliked those with quirks were both too loud and too high up on the socialite ladder to avoid getting into trouble with, and they imparted some of their behavior onto their kids who went to the same school as shinra. being a walking cat person earned him some popularity among his classmates and especially with the other few quirker kids at his school, of course that was in part to the fact that he was the one everyone called when a bully decided to pick on someone. during his first month at school he was jumping just about anyone who decided to pick on a poor kid and give them a black eye as a parting gift earning him a lot of detention and a meeting with his parents who did their part to try and lessen his punishment on the grounds that he was doing good.

at first he thought he was doing good but it wasn't until he started to get bullied himself that his parents decided it was time for a change. of course bullied is the wrong word to use, ambushed is more like it as some older kids decided to kidnap him and torture him for revenge for all the pain he's given them. he spent the next day in the hospital getting held down by his papa so he wouldn't run off and get his revenge on them. after that he kept getting dragged into more fights that his parents feared that it would only grow worse and worse for them and everyone else involved, so they decided to move once he finished his sixth year of elementary school.

no one imagined that the family would move across the sea to go japan and live among his japanese relatives who were more accepting of him and his pops interest in hero work. of course an injury while chasing criminals did mean his american father's time as a wannabe hero was at an end he did manage to find some work and opened a gym thanks to his son and husband's growing need to exercise and strengthen their minds and bodies. wrestling had been a very good source for shinra to work out a lot of his frustration early on after the move and he soon found himself loving every second of it as his papa encouraged him to find friends who shared his passion for it and would bring him along on weekends to some of his matches.

however shinra still wanted to be a hero like his pops and while pro wrestling was a good back up career to fall back on he decided to enroll into a hero school where he could learn how to be a true hero. of course his parents were supportive of it and did what they could to ensure he got accepted into yuuei while he was finishing up the rest of his elementary school years in his neighborhood, once he managed to get accepted into yuuei he made a promise to himself that he was gonna hit it big in the school and prove that a big cat like him could be king of the school if he wanted.
