Desmond

## Appearance

Desmond is a tall African American man, he typically wears a grey trench coat lined with lightweight Kevlar like material within its inner lining. he seems to sport several cybernetics that he uses to coordinate with his teammates, should he have any at the time as well as shades that have a built in HUD.

## Personality

Desmond is a very blunt and straight forward man in terms of human interaction, he will often times make insulting remarks when simply stating the facts of a situation, person, or location; however, he is still sociable enough to offer comfort and advice to others, in spite of his lack of social skills.

Desmond has grown up in a type of "Junk town", that harbors anywhere from 2,000 to 4,500 people labelled the "Junkrats" of society, after his mother's death by the secretive Hero Public Safety Commission due to refusing a contract. His father abandoned him and his sister for fear of persecution by the organization, causing Desmond to develop an immense hatred for him and the hero association as a whole. He's generally distrusting of heroes as a whole, but will cooperate with them to stop villains, though he actively kills villains known for violent crimes without hesitation or regards to their age, race, or past.

## history

His mother was a member of HPSC and was killed when she refused an assassination job; his father abandonded both him and his sister Kayla. Rather than join his sister in foster care and orphanages, he used his quirk to perform small scale crimes to support himself and eventually came to learn about "Junktown" at the age of 16 and moved into the area to learn about survival and fighting.

He would eventually leave 4 years later, becoming a vigilante that primarily targets those in charge during his mother's term, and killing them without hesitation or remorse. His sister had become a student at UA and strives to stop him after he had already killed 3 members by using his golems as suicide bombers to kill them, while also injuring several civilians. Kayla also learned that Desmond had tracked down their father and killed him in revenge for abandoning them to start a new family, this only intensified her resolve to stop him and his mad crusade of revenge and hopefully save her brother.

## **Abilities:**

**Hand-to-Hand combat prowess:** thanks to the hardships he endured on the streets of junktown and training, Desmond has learned to defend himself, empty-handed. He is well versed in both grappling and boxing techniques.

**Tactical genius:** due to needing to coordinate his "soldiers" in the heat of battle, Desmond is very good at placing them in strategic positions and to cause the most damage.

### **Quirk:**

**Militia** is a quirk that gives Desmond the ability to create several golems that take on the appearance of life sized toy soldiers, these golems are stronger & more agile than the average human, but can be taken out with a strong enough strike, making them most effective at long ranges; the golems are smart enough to make various objects into weapons if need be and can even handle firearms. The user can set the golems to "automatic mode" where they will only follow a set of simple rules or instructions(i.e. "follow [blank]'s orders") or directly control them himself.

The user can alter the golem's appearance, but this can be very taxing than the default state and the golem will still lack sentience despite the change. If the user concentrates they can directly pilot one or even several golems at once allowing them to speak through it.
