Romero Fujimi

**Romero Fujimi** (*Fujimi Romero*), also known as **Blood Lad** (ブラッドラッド), is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

## Appearance

Romero is a young male, being 15 years old. He has medium-length black hair, that reaches just below his eyes in a straightforward style, chalk-white skin, that is almost pale, and bright red eyes with dark circles underneath them as a sign of fatigue. Also, most notable is his razor-sharp teeth. Outside of school the clothing he wears consists of a white dress shirt, with the right side, tucked in and the left side left out. Along with charcoal gray pants with an ash gray belt, and opaque white shoes. He has an average height of around 5'7 and a fair build, showing a small amount of muscle but having tremendous strength. His right arm is brown and charred as a result of overheating his body which he typically wraps in white bandages and unwraps when he's about to fight.

At his two palms her has two mouths which have no personality showing that they're more like weapons rather than there own person. But Romero has been shown to be able to communicate through these mouths as well as control its motions like stick out their tongues or even lick, but nothing has been shown about eating with his hands. These mouths have flat teeth which is rather confusing since the main assets of his mouths is to bite into his opponents to drain their "nutrients" though Romero doesn't actually drink the blood of his opponents but rather take their stamina and energy and make it his.

## Personality

Romero is frequently shown to be rebellious and lazy, prepared to sit back and read manga whilst everyone else does the work. However, once he decides to do something, he is extremely driven and focused. He doesn't have many friends but is extremely loyal to those close to him. He also perceives his immense power as a "burden" due to the fact that he was frequently tortured and experimented on by his older brother during his youth in order to awaken his full potential for his own purposes.

Though he is lazy, Romero has been described to be quite reckless as his Quirk allows the rapid growth of cells but overusing this ability can lead to cancer as explained by his own brother, but despite this very fact of his life being possibly ruined he seems to be careless, prioritizing the well being of other above his own. Saying, if he "can't save these people he might as well die trying".

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: Aside from his Quirk giving him quite the upper hand in terms of physical battles, Romero has been shown to be quite quick on his feet and a very capable combatant. His abilities earned him second place in the U.A. Entrance Exam, having a fair balance of both villain and rescue points, and 8th place in the Quirk Apprehension Test, and mind that these attempts was the use without the full potential of hid Quirk active. But speaking of his Quirk, Romero's fighting style is straightforward and reckless, letting hi body take opposing hits while delivering counterattacks as he can just drain nutrients fro his opponent to make himself stronger and heal his wounds though this reckless way of fighting can lead to him being left badly injured. This shows when Romero was shot by bullets and though he was harmed he leapt at his attacker just absorbing their nutrients and healing afterwards.

**Immense Durability**: Even without his Quirk, Romero has above-average durability. Romero has been seen to be shot, punched, and even exploded, and though he's faced many dangers, he's shown he can survive these blows, getting up from just a few moments of "mere pain" as he calls it. This is due to him being experimented as a child due to his brother trying to improve his Quirk, showing that Romero has been through all sorts of hell prior to his training in U.A.

**Immense Strength**: With the use of his Quirk, Romero has been shown to kick a full-grown adult man flying across the room and even breaking through military grade bullet proof glass with just a throw from a baseball.

**Immense Speed**: Romero's main asset when using his Quirk are his legs, being shown to kick heavy blows and even jump to lengths up to 8 feet. But through this, with the use of his Quirk the muscles in legs tighten up which allows him to run to speeds up to 40 mph which is rather impressive for even a speed Quirk to acquire though he's only gone up this high during his upper limit.

**Enhanced Healing Factor**: To counter his own recklessness, Romero's Quirk allows him to drain the nutrients from his opponents which activates and enhances his cell growth process which grants him super strength, speed, and even an enhanced healing factor. While Romero isn't god that can heal any wound no matter how major, Romero has been shown to heal his broken leg, cuts, and even bullet wounds. So far, no injury that were caused to him was impossible to heal. Though this healing process take heavy amounts of his own stamina depending on the wound so a bruise or cute wouldn't take much time or energy to heal but a broken leg took him a week to heal and left him in a coma for 3 days.

**Kick-Based Martial Arts**: Romero has been shown to know basic hand to hand combat being able to fight against even a Nomu, but soon lost due to its Quirk but his hands are not what he mainly utilizes as he depends mostly on his legs. His main combat technique uses the strength in his legs which grants him colossal leg strength, enabling him to break even the hardest materials and defeat the strongest enemies using the tremendous power of his kicks. as well as to dodge, leap, and even trick his opponents.

**Drain**: Romero's Quirk allows him to drain the dexterity and stamina of another person whenever he comes into contact with them. His Quirk though is much more complicated than what meets the eye, Romero actually has a mouth on the palms of his hand and whenever they're close to skin contact they bite into their target absorbing their stamina and energy though its never been clear why they need to bit into the opponent since they don't drink the blood itself. Th mouths themselves have no distinctions since they work more like a weapon rather than a being but Romero has shown he can talk through these separate mouths.

When Romero drain an opponent the process happens quite fast as he's able to weaken and drain an entire person in under 15 seconds leaving the target weak and and unconscious. Absorbing these "nutrients" as he calls it boosts his overall abilities, as the more nutrients he absorbs the faster his cell production works allowing him to heal even from even the worst of injuries though there seems to be no limit on how fast these cells can work, along with an enhanced healing factor he also improves in strength and speed, as his cells are rapidly working, which gives him a heavy boost.

Though Romero does have his weaknesses, absorbing too much nutrients can really leave a strain in his body since his cells weren't meant to be overworked or grow that rapidly which can cause him to grow weary. In fact, his brother, who has a similar Quirk to Romero's, implies that an over usage of his Quirk too many times can lead to tumors growing which can lead to cancer, though Romero seems to be reckless in battles despite these warnings and clear signs of it occurring.
