Daigo Yamada

* Casual
* Hero

## Appearance

### **General Appearance**

Daigo's a well kept and clean looking young man who takes a bit of pride in his appearance. He has a dark complexion, and white-colored hair, which in today's world doesn't make him stand out that much. He has poor eyes, so he's usually wearing a stylish pair of glasses that probably cost more than your college textbooks. He has a toned physique, being physically active, but not more than he needs to be, and his style of dress is...well whatever he wants to be. He has money so he has no problem investing in his appearance.

His clothing style is either extremely formal, generally wearing blazers and dress pants, or whatever he likes from whatever high-end fashion store.

### **Costumed Appearance**

Daigo's hero costume consists of an an ankle length black coat, with a collar lapel decorated with straps that have light blue tabs at the ends. Underneath the coat is a vest with a raised collar to help protect from the cold. The vest itself has several wide flaps in the front which button together to form a V like pattern running down his torso. The vest itself has blue detailing lining every part of it.

These are both paired a pair of fitted dress pants with a blue line running down the sides, and calve length boots, all of which share the color scheme of black grey, and light blue. To finish off the ensemble are a pair of light blue gloves which help better utilize his quirk and a plain white domino mask.

## Personality

As a child, Daigo was always a bit restrained and coddled. He never really ventured much outside of where he was allowed nor was he ever really given the chance to. This lack of proper social exposure at a young age usually makes Daigo prefer to keep quiet and keep to himself. He can usually be seen reading a book or just quietly exploring his new environment.

Currently, Daigo is a realist, a combination of his optimistic outlook on life that he always had and the cynicism that was forced into him, which battered a good deal of it away. He tries looking at everything not just as they are, but what they were or could be. If it weren't for the cynicism Daigo would probably a lot more of the energetic and curious type, which still shines its head through every now and again. He's a little awkward, and usually lacks any sense of embarrassment, but is genuinely a good person, or at least believes himself to be.

Usually, he comes off as fairly nonchalant, expressing himself very little around most people. To some, this can seem a bit standoffish, especially with those who he feels are acting "overly familiar" with him. But generally, he just likes people to respect his space. Trying to touch him or comment on his life when he doesn't know you is a surefire way to make sure he avoids you. To those he knows, he tends to be a pretty good friend, and to others, he can even be a hopeless romantic.

When it comes to combat, Daigo's personality is a constant stream of focus and over planning. While he and his quirk are fairly flexible, he has a tendency to stay back and act more as a sort of support for his allies. In his mind he believes that he has options in how he fights, so he doesn't mind filling necessary roles to help the team do well.

That being said, when put into a position where he's the star of the show, Daigo has no problem acting like it. If it means victory he'll pretend he's the ringman of a circus if it means following through.

## Character Background

Daigo Yamada is a rather quiet individual who comes from a pretty well off family. His childhood wasn't much to speak off personally, he had private tutors, four different nannies, a private chef who catered to his every whim, and just about anything that could be thought of. Daigo's life was one of a pampered prince, who would eventually step in to help run the family business. “Our pride and joy” they always said.

By the time middle school came around, Daigo’s life moved like clockwork. He was expected to learn proper social skills, maintain a perfect grade point average, and go through with all the after school activities they had planned for him. What little time he did have to himself, his social interactions were...strained. His middle school was for the upper crust. Elite families who could probably buy entire neighborhoods if they wanted to. Most of the children he saw were either too stuck up to look down or so rebellious they’d drink liquor after school to prove how cool and down they were. He did manage to have a few friends, usually, they hung out at lunch and talked about any crazy thing that went on.

By his senior year, Daigo had learned how to play the piano, mastered the cello, spoke 3 languages fluently, learned how to fight with the best of them, and could tell you the difference between a hedge fund and a 3050 tax form. His parents would always sing an endless amount of praise for him and his mother would do everything to shower him with gifts. None of them ever noticed that their son wasn’t happy. A life of privilege doesn’t mean it’s an enjoyable one. And more and more did he grow to resent his parent's wishes. He wanted a way out, and then it came to him. The U.A. entrance exams.

Ever since he was a child, he loved superheroes. He’d love to be able to watch videos of them fight bad guys and play with the action figures he had in his room. He had this one little outfit, that was just like the pro-hero Carapace Knight. With a little toy sword, he’d run around his room, shouting about justice and defeating villainy until his parents told him that this was all improper for polite society. But that feeling always stayed with him even til now. So, now that he had a chance he would be sure to take it, no matter how they felt.

He'd convince them that being trained in being a hero would help him as a leader. He'd be able to learn social skills, proper planning, and a host of other skills that would certainly be beneficial towards running the company. And with their blessing, he'd eagerly start preparing to take the U.A. entrance exams.

## Quirk

#### **Dark Fold**

Daigo has the ability to manipulate and produce darkness in its physical form, which includes manipulating shadows. In its raw state, darkness is a smoke-like substance, blocking out all light from passing through. However, Daigo is capable of manipulating this smoke into solid shapes and manipulating it as he sees fit. When no longer being under his control, darkness loses density and quickly vanishes or returns to normal before his manipulation. Currently, he can only produce barriers, either by solidifying darkness or raising a wall from a nearby shadow.

#### **Quirk Cost**

This section of your wiki is to be only utilized by moderators. It's where they'll put the strengths and flaws of your quirk as well as the final price. Under no circumstance should a player ever edit this part of their Wiki page. If you are caught doing so, expect consequences.

## Techniques

 Slots Used

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. Techniques are examples of something that might be a little too much for your character to attempt to perform like a normal action, being a much stronger or unorthodox usage of one’s quirk. You can check out the Techniques Guide to learn more.

 Daigo produces a wire from anywhere on his being, hardening the area itself as well. The wire shoots out, and when it hits a target, the wire then produces a sharp hook, attaching itself. The wire then rapidly shrinks causing his own end and whatever it's attached to, to be rapidly pulled closer together. In basic terms, he can utilize his shadows to make himself a functioning powered grappling hook.

 Due to past events, it seems as if someone decided to make sure you knew what was happening. When used it causes concealments to fail. Abilities and powers meant to confuse, hide, or distract from what's going on will begin to fade. If five are used at once, perhaps something illuminating might happen. Wears off at the end of the scene. Only usable once before being destroyed.

 A weird app that was somehow installed on your phone claiming it will allow you to request advice from any Pro-Hero in Japan. Simply say the name of the hero and tell them in 20 words or less what you need advice on and they'll reply with a text response. You have no way to verify this and the app seems to magically hide itself if you try to record proof of it or show it to someone else. Apparently it gives you two free attempts before the free trial ends, at which point it will uninstall itself from your phone. The button to pay for a premium account is also greyed out. Bummer.

 You're unsure how you acquired it, but nonetheless, it's on your person now. It's a black card with a white paw print on the front. On the back, written in block letters is a telephone number and a date, January 11th. Nothing else is written, but maybe calling it on said date might do something.

 Compression Gloves: Specially designed gloves that very snuggly press on certain areas of the hands and wrists. For Daigo, this allows him to bypass his need to make hand gestures to use his quirk.

 A ankle length coat designed with strong materials to protect the wearer from harm.

 A plain white domino mask made from slightly reflective material. The lenses are made of a white material that hides the user's eyes.
