Jayson Staccato

## Appearance

### **General Appearance**

Jayson is a man of medium build that fills out what he normally wears as a mild-mannered sweater vest and collared shirt. His tan skin and black ponytailed hair give the initial impression that he is a native to Japan, but his distinct American accent gives that away immediately.

### **Costumed Appearance**

String Theory's costume is that matches the Staccato Muse's general goal of 'action figure aesthetic'. A green and gold suit with white trim covers from head to toe, including a full face helmet that Jayson is loathe to remove while working. Due to his quirk, the tips of his gloves are made of a self healing polymer that keeps that suit sealed whether using his quirk or not.

## Personality

Jayson tries to carry himself so as to stay out of the limelight, at least out of costume. Blending in is his goal, and he for the most part succeeds in looking unassuming. He tries not to be too negative about people who do seek that out, but he does try and guide others to not doing so. His attitude towards children and teenagers causes this tendency to be much more overt, trying to be a guide to happiness within doing things that don't see full acclaim. Some may consider this a hypocritical statement coming from a hero who is a part of a band, but Jayson maintains that this is the very reason he does so. Honest to a fault and hopeful for the future, Jayson's justice does not lie within himself, but the future.

## Character Background

Jayson was born into a family of musical heroes. His lineage had always had musicians riddled throughout, but the Quirk explosion only added to the Staccato family's rapport in the musical world. Alongside a head start in the court of public opinion, the musical family began a combination Hero Agency and touring band. The tour locations would combine alongside the Staccato family ingratiating themselves with the cities they visited by teaming up with the local heroes. Their classical matching superhero outfits made them both immediately recognizable and incredibly merchandisable. Alongside the concerts they would put on, the hero group is a tour de force in America.

Jayson, on the other hand, is the practical antithesis to his family's situation. Never one to try and make the spotlight his own, Jayson was the quiet middle child of the family. As his quirk manifested as a mutation in comparison to his brothers, it was quickly recognized that the lack of a musical quirk would not be able to hold up amongst the others. Thus, Jayson struck out on his own, pitching the idea of moving to Japan and acting as an ambassador for Staccato Muse. This was taken positively by his family, and String Theory has been a known factor within the cities of Japan for quite some time. Jayson prefers to blend in after his normal duties are done, with the full helmet on the hero costume aiding with that. He was contacted by Yuuei in the aftermath of the last training incident to help with the influx of concerns and students.

## Aspects

Character aspects are statements about something unique about a character. This can be about their personality, their skill, their beliefs, their looks, or whatever you choose. Aspects can be activated during roleplay to cause a character's actions to have more impact on the situation. However, In order to be utilized by both yourself and enemies, each aspect must be positive and negative on their own. Each one should be able to hinder a character or help them, depending on who makes use of them. To learn more about Aspects, please consult our Fate Points Guide.

## Quirk

Quirks are the name given to the superpowers of My Hero Academia, which over 80% of the population possess. NPCs are not required to go through the balancing process, meaning that NPC Quirks do not have grades or a price break down. Instead, NPC quirks are approved along with the character itself with a much simpler critique of them. That being said, NPCs are still subjected to our Prohibited list. Please check our Quirk Guide to learn about that.

#### **Quirk Name: Puppetmaster**

This quirk allows the user to send strands out of the tips of their fingers and burrow into into objects. Once burrowed, the thread can internally manipulate the object and move it as if it was a limb. The durability of the object is not increased in any way, and less lengthy objects can only be pulled on. Each thread can only control one object, but additional threads can increase the level of force and fine control available to the user. The thread is the force that moves the objects around, and therefore needs to burrow in as deep as required. (E.X. The thread must go all the way up and through a light pole to move it around.)

The user needs their full concentration to utilize the quirk effectively, limiting their actions while using it to avoidance and movement. The threads are strong, but not invincible, and a C strength cutting force can cut them, removing all control. Finally, the threads cannot burrow into live flesh.

The user's long history of training has allowed them the utilization and control of 10 different threads (one for each finger) that each can reach out about 50-75 feet in total.

## Techniques

Techniques are something that’s been touched upon in the manga, which you can consider to be similar to the Super Move in a Fighting game. For NPCs, techniques are judged along with the rest of the character and aren't given a grade of any kind. Currently, NPCs are limited to three techniques. You can check out our Technique Guide to learn more.
