## Appearance

### Casual

Armani's characterized features are his ebony skin and black braids with multiple patterns around his scalp. He is decently tall and nearly stands at six feet and his body type falls under the toned and slim category. He has hazel brown eyes that actually glow aqua blue when he uses his powers to an extreme degree. As a person who was born in Utah, his color scheme revolves around his favorite basketball team, the Utah Jazz.

For his casual wear, Armani enjoys mixing superhero aspects with streetwear, sporting a dark attire. His shirt is black, as aforementioned, and has a golden lightning bolt design in the middle. Over his shirt, he sports a jacket with yellow lining and a built-in baseball cap within the hood area. Over his eyes, he wears a pair of goggles with orange lenses that allow him to zoom on just about anything.

His pants are normal athletic track pants with stripes on the side and of course, follow Armani's black and gold color scheme. He wears a pair of black low-top shoes made of algae foam. On the bottoms of these shoes, they have golden rubber grips.

### Hero Suit

For his hero suit, Armani's braids explode into a wild mess of his nappy black hair as lightning surrounds him. He wears a large trench coat with glowing gold and white stripes near the ends, the built-in hood from his civilian wear being a retained feature of his hero suit. He has a open-mouth face mask with black goggles and yellow lenses, being a more advanced version of his previous glasses.

He has neon luminescent spots on his black trousers that glow when he is in places with a low amount of light sources. He wears a pair of black shoes with neon soles, following a theme with his lower wear.

## Personality

Armani's defining traits are his quiet and relaxed demeanor, never really showing too much emotion. Usually being stuck in his own head about things, he ponders often and that remains the main reason why he stays so quiet. Like most people, when Armani finds something he's good at, he has a uprise of confidence and becomes much more outspoken with his actions and behavior, carrying himself way different from usual.

When around people he trusts and are comfortable with, his personality shines through. He is quite comical when around friends and family and makes frequent jokes relating to different subjects. This carries over to his hero business, usually planning out an entire list of quips for villains before a confrontation. This is an effective way for him to relieve stress and stay organized as he writes multiple of these jokes down and recites them over and over.

As a hero, Armani sees himself as a warrior for the people, meaning everything he does is to protect civilization. Idolizing great heroes, he aspires to become one of the most elite in the society of heroism, trying to do everything capable to push himself to that level. He follows a unique hero code that is considered unconventional to say the least. He feels that if a criminal is problematic enough and has committed horrific acts, he should be able to kill that villain with no repercussions.

He loves fighting, so much so that he watches MMA matches in his spare time. He studies different types of moves to use in battle when watching those incredible fighters, usually breaking away from his boxing roots and using kicks, headbutts, and slaps when needed.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Abilities:** As a graduate of Marvel University, Armani possesses a prowess far beyond the average person. Although he has just recently been sworn in as a Professional Hero, Armani had been exposed to heroism far before his tenure with Marvel University. He formerly served as his father's sidekick during his old man's hero days and worked indirectly to protect people. Due to this, he has been given a veteran's aspect of battling villains.

As a person with an elemental emission type of Quirk, Armani is well-versed with his knowledge of how electricity works. Having a journal of tests and fails with his Quirk, Armani has a great amount of expertise with using his powers. As his electricity is potent, it doesn't work like normal lightning and serves as a gateway to truly just fusing two objects together, making him a deadly threat when he makes contact with things.

* **Enhanced Speed:** As his Quirk requires speedy action, Armani has trained his horsepower and running ability since a young age. Being able to run around tracks with ease, he boasts a near superhuman amount of swiftness. He is able to maneuver his direction fairly easily, being able to turn and deviate between different possible ways to reach his target faster and quicker. When rushing at an enemy, Armani takes up a track and field start-up stance.

* **Above-Average Endurance & Stamina:** Armani has built up a breathing routine that serves as the sole reason why his endurance and stamina are past the average person's. As his fighting style focuses on his explosive speed and athleticism, stamina and endurance are a must when in battle. Due to him having to move through different areas rather quickly to gain the upper hand, if he doesn't continue to breathe rhythmically he could possibly suffer drastic physical regressions that will be detriments to his fighting ability and could last for days.

* **Intelligence and Mental Adaptability:** Due to not boasting a ridiculous amount of physical strength, Armani was forced to learn how to adapt mentally to make up for his strength mishap. His smarts and ability to adapt to conflict assist him when scuffling with strong foes as it allows him to analyze their Quirk and adjust his Quirk-altered fighting style to find an opening for victory. As learning is apart of heroism, he must investigate before just jumping straight into battle due to finding clues on how to save civilians being the most important part of the job.

### Quirk

*Main article: Fusion Electricity*

**Fusion Electricity** (核融合電気, *Kaku Yūgō Denki*): Armani's quirk allows him to emit bolts of electricity from his hands at will. Originally thought to be the typical electrical manipulation quirk, Armani found that the lightning that he could produce wasn't the typical type. Upon touching and imbuing one random object with his produced energy, he can touch another object, eventually being able to defy the laws of physics for a few moments and "fuse" the two objects together forcefully. It works as an attraction ability, meaning whatever is afflicted by the electricity goes to the other afflicted object with no hesitation.

This quirk works solely on solid objects and causes them to retain their properties, meaning if Armani imbues an explosive and a human being with his quirk, the explosive will explode on contact due to not being rendered intangible. The quirk manifested during a science project Armani was doing where he ended up accidentally attracting his teacher and a glass bottle, causing her to need major amounts of stitches. The quirk's name is misleading as it isn't really a fusion of two objects, but really just a forcing of contact.

The afflicted victims are affected immediately after the electricity goes into the second target, making both imbued subjects rush at each other with no sort of halting or bracing. Speed only picks up as time goes on, meaning the farther two afflicted subjects are from each other, the more painful the impact will be.
