Shiki Gushiken

**Shiki Gushiken** (*Gushiken Shiki*), also known as the **Gravity Hero:** **Star** **Nova** (重力ヒーロー：スターノヴァ), is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

## Appearance

Shiki is a lean toned young man of average height with spiky black hair which partially covers his ears, slanted dark eyes, and thin eyebrows. He dons a small, white bandage on his left cheek as well as a red pouch around his waist.

## Personality

Shiki is a carefree, blunt, and eager individual. Though despite his optimism he's very awkward around people and strongly desired to make a lot of friends - best exemplified by his habit of asking strangers to "be his friend" and his invasion of people's personal space.

Shiki has a strong sense of loyalty and refused to leave Granbell Engineering for many years so that he could take care of his family business. Which really made him conflicted when he had to choose whether he wanted to be a hero or an engineer like his dad was. H also has a strong sense of justice as when his friends seemingly betrayed him, he attacked them in order to protect the people he had just met, going as far as to put himself in harm's way to allow strangers to escape.

Despite his fearlessness, Shiki seems to have a crippling fear of bugs.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: With Shiki gaining greatly enhanced maneuverability, strength, and a significant reduction in the physical backlash created when using his Quirk uncontrollably, he was able to drastically improve his overall fighting capabilities. This specific ability enabled Shiki to compete more closely with his classmates in the physical aspects of the Hero Course. When his skills and experience increase, so does his confidence, which is said to be a source of inspiration to his classmates as well.

**Immense Stamina**: Shiki has shown on many occasions that he is capable of handling large amounts of pain. Such times were mostly side-effects of overusing his Quirk and frequently led to various injuries. Should he be forced to output more power, Shiki is still capable of fighting decently even with broken limbs thanks to the effects of adrenaline, but will succumb to exhaustion a while later.

**Immense Strength**: Even without his Quirk, Shiki has shown high levels of physical strength for a person his age. When using Overdrive his strength further increases to superhuman levels: at close ranges he can shatter metal pillars with a single punch and can even lift a steel I beam one-handed.

**Immense Speed**: Shiki possesses great reflexes with and without even the use of his Quirk. He can react in time to defend from But it's especially great when his Quirk is activated with the use of Overdrive he can switch the dies of grvait to boost not only had reaction speeds but his own speeds as well for both mobility and combat.

### Quirk

**Overdrive**: Shiki's Quirk allows him to control and manipulate gravity itself as he is capable of changing the direction of the gravitational force around himself which enables him to stick to walls, float in the air, and make objects and people weightless to an extent. Shiki is capable of feats such as drastically increasing the weight of multiple people or objects without making contact, changing the direction of bullets fired at him with a flick of the wrist, and launching multiple opponents with a single punch.

Though Shiki does have his limitations one of which is whenever he changes his own gravity position he tends to get nauseous due to his own motion sickness which many found ironic since he did work at an engineering store. This weakness allow Shiki to hold his own gravitational pull for an adequate amount of time before he has to stop.

## Equipment

**Hero Outfit**: Shiki's hero outfit, is meant to be easy for mobility but also cut pretty loose since Shiki himself doesn't enjoy the tight outfits

* **Shifting Goggles**: To help with his motion sickness, Shiki wears special goggles that help adjust his eyes whenever he switches his gravity position but ut also helps dust and debris to get into his eyes whenever he goes fast
