Affiliation: Civilian Criminal

APPEARANCE AND PERSONALITY

Appearance:

Sohma looks like a delinquent.  With his height (1.83m, or 6'0"), long, gangling limbs, shaggy black hair. and way too many piercings, he looks like he would fit right in with some of the scarier members of Kabukicho's criminal scene.  He's even got a number of tattoos on his chest and arms.  That's about where the delinquent look ends though.  Sohma prefers to dress pretty neatly in button-ups and slacks (that look baggy at times because he's all skin and bones).  He rarely, if ever, looks angry at people--he usually wears a pretty vacant expression, and when in a good mood cracks a faint, mellow smile.  He can also be caught in a cooking apron around the cafe and often gets foodstuff (like flour) on his face.  His eyes are an icy, vibrant blue.  He wears contacts when working, but otherwise sports thin-framed glasses.

LIKES
✔ Cooking, Piercings, Origami, Using His Hands, Bad Riddles

DISLIKES
✖ High Humidity, Crowds, Bugs, Quirkless People, Heroes

Personality:

Sohma isn't as scary as he looks, not by a long shot.  While being fairly reserved he is genuinely polite and friendly when approached, he's just a man of few words.  He prefers to talk through snide comments, physical affections like leaning on people shorter than him (Hi Misuzu), and fiddling with others' hair.  He has reservations about being in small, crowded spaces, but can manage it if he's with people he's comfortable around.  When not talking or cooking he's usually using his Quirk to make something, even if it's just a little paper snowflake.

What Sohma doesn't communicate well are feelings of anger, due to his upbringing in a family of criminals.  He has gotten much better than when he was young, but can still get surprisingly violent if he's upset or if somebody he likes is being harassed.  It takes more to get him angry over his own well being than that of his friends, but the right (wrong) words--especially from a Quirkless or a Hero--can cause him to snap.

QUIRK INFORMATION

Quirk
Edward Scissorhands

Type: Transformation
Rank: E
Description: 

Exactly what it says on the tin: when he wants to, Sohma can turn his fingers into individual blades, and uses them as, well, scissors.  His thumbs don't get much use but he can pair his other fingers with relative dexterity.  He uses them to cut paper, food, and occasionally friend's hair, when they ask.  If he wants to though these blades make for very efficient weapons, especially when he goes for the eyes.

Benefits:

1. Weapon - Scissor Blades:  Sohma's blades can crack into stone and slice through wood when he puts in the effort.  They can grow blunt from over-use or even crack, but reverting his hands back to normal for a time repairs them.
2. Martial Arts - Close Combat:  Sohma is most dangerous in arm's reach.  He's gotten good at fighting in close proximitty to others without leaving himself too open to attacks.
3. Regeneration:  Sohma's hands are capable of repairing themselves over time, but only when not transformed.  Nicks and cracks in his blades will heal like cuts and scrapes so long as his hands are kept "normal" for a while, but things like a blade being broken in two and blades melting from heat take much, much longer to heal--and hurt like a bitch.

Exhaustion and Weakness:

While Sohma can repair his blades by reverting his hands to normal, that does not mean the blades are without nerves.  He feels every nick and crack like his fingers are being sliced up, and if something worse happens--like the time his blades melted together from a heat-related injury--he still feels it as if it were his skin and bones melting.  The recovery process is far from quick.

However an even more curious issue is that when his hands are normal, Sohma cannot feel anything through them.  His hands are entirely numb from his wrist up--even his palms, which do not transform, have no nerve endings.  He can only feel pain through them (or anything) when they're in bladed form.  He has to wear gloves while cooking just in case he burns or cuts his hands, because otherwise he could completely fail to notice he was hurt at all.

This is also why he likes giving his friends hugs and lean-ons (or even haircuts) since it's one of the few ways he can exchange physical sensations with them.
