Character Name: Touya Todoroki / Dabi Canon: My Hero Acedemia Canon History: here!
Canon Personality: 🔥 Determined - Be it in his desire to see his goals through, or to gain power--Dabi has been shown to push himself towards the things he wants with an unbelievable amount of vigor. Working for months and even years to see one goal reach fruition, he has the patience and determination to see anything through. To get stronger, to show the world what he's capable of despite the world's attempts to chain him down. Nothing will stop him. 🔥 Aloof - When he isn't comfortable around people, he can be somewhat distant--somewhat hard to understand or get to know. It's not that he's shy or unkind--it's more that he doesn't put much effort into being friendly with others, because he doesn't feel they'll want to be close to him. Especially due to the way he looks, most people avoid him; so he doesn't put much effort into changing peoples' minds. He usually has a goal in mind, he stays in his own lane unless he feels the need to leave it. 🔥 Confident - He's lived most of his life being told to lower his expectations, to quietly find a life that suits him, safely, instead of pressing hard into his actual desires. This isn't good enough for Dabi, and despite the dozens of voices telling him to be reasonable; he refuses. He has the confidence to keep his head held up high, and to meet people and situations head-on without any sort of fear or anxiety. 🔥 Keen-Eyed - Able to read a room in moments. While most people view him as being quiet and distant, and therefore someone who doesn't pay attention to the fine details--they can't be any more wrong. Dabi is someone who often notices fine details before anyone else, who can read between the lines just as quick as any of his more intellectually powerful comrades--making it very hard to catch him off-guard. It's very hard to get one up over him, and he always seems to be one step ahead of anyone who might call himself his enemy. 🔥 Supportive - Even if he's a bit of a self-focused little shit--when he does have people he's working alongside, he works impressively well with them. Being able to back them up either in combat or when they're feeling down about something--he's the sort of guy who will burn down your long-empty, abandoned family home because looking at it causes you heartache. He shows he cares, even if his methods come off as a little dramatic and with a flair. ❄️ Obsessive - One of the most negative aspects of his personality is that once he's focused on a goal, he will chase it--even if it becomes a detriment to his health or social life. He's covered in excessive burns due to the fact that he refused to stop using his powers--even if they hurt him. He wants to prove he's worth something, even if it means he has to push himself past the point most others would--because he HAS to prove he's worth something. It's an obsession to be seen, he needs to be acknowledged. ❄️ Rude - While usually not intentional, his attitude is normally playfully coarse and blunt--and he can therefore come across as being rather rude. Sarcastic and prone to shittalking, most of his interactions with people can be seen as mean-spirited, but the truth is, he just doesn't censor himself, much. He isn't afraid to call people out when they're being shitty, or to point out their actions if he feels it's something worth being pointed out. This makes him come off as rude and abrasive, most of the time. ❄️ Defiant - He has a huge issue with authority and society as a whole. The way the world is slanted towards the rich and powerful, and those on the bottom rungs are treated like garbage. He himself was born with a severe disadvantage to the world--being someone who had a powerful ability that hurt him to use--he saw himself as being someone who was a mistake, and lives to prove the world wrong. That he isn't a mistake, and that the world's views are wrong. That everyone can be worthwhile; that the most important thing is hard work and being able to prove yourself. ❄️ Stubborn - His points of view can often be extreme and childish--deciding that, even when offered someone elses' opinion, that it's wrong if it directly clashes with his own. He will choose a hill and die on it, even if, logically, he knows that maybe not every hill he chooses to inhabit is worth dying on. He will also follow his goals despite any disadvantages or people telling him it's a bad idea. It's hard to convince him of different opinions, too. ❄️ Spiteful - and the most fun thing to go along with being stubborn is the fact that he runs off spite. Most of his life he's been told he can't become someone who's a hero, someone who can save others. he can't learn how to use or control his powers in any significant way--and he took that personally. His most driving emotion to everything he does is spite. Getting what he wants in what way he wants simply because it might prove someone else wrong, or prove to himself that he was right.
AU Name: Touya Todoroki AU Age: 25 years AU Birthday: January 18th
AU History: First born son of a large family, first-generation American, to Japanese parents. He was originally born in California, but came to move to Kaisou for school when he was 18. Being the first born, his parents put expectations on him throughout life to be successful and moderately well-off, like his father was. While his family isn't rich, his mother is a nurse and his father an accountant-- They wished for him to follow their example and get a respectable, well-paying job so that he could make them proud.
Unfortunately for their plans, he instead went through a bit of a rebelliosu teenage phase--becoming interested in things like art and music instead of focusing on his studies. He started skipping classes to go to rock shows, and instead of using his time to study, he instead spent a lot of time practicing art--both painting, sketching, and ink work.
When his parents caught notice of his failing grades and bad attendance, they threatened to cut off his funding unless he went back to school and gave up, as they said, 'gallivanting around like a fool with no ambition', which only made his desires to continue doing what he enjoyed instead of what he was expected to do even stronger.
As promised, they most certainly did cut off his funding, but not before he got himself set with a few odd jobs around the city where he decided to quit school and save money to chase his own passions instead. It was rough for a year or two, but once he had enough savings, he managed to put himself through a different kind of school: one that taught him the fine art of tattoo and body modification/piercing.
It took him about three years of spite and determination to see it through to the end, refusing each time his father called to 'go back to school and get a proper education', deciding that his life was his to lead.
Now, a few years later at the age of 25, he's gotten himself settled in Kaisou with a job as a somewhat well known body artist, doing mostly gothic and horror-elemented tattoo work for clients--his own body a web of his own tattoo work that's left him with more skin that's inked and pierced than skin that isn't. He's quite happy with his life at current, but he's interested in something new recently: opening up his own parlor, instead of working under someone else.
He put forward a project request for funding for his own shop and, much to his surprise, his proposal was accepted and he's now settling into his new location and is looking for new clients.
It's just pretty weird when you wake up one day with white hair and the ability to conjure flames from your hands, right?
AU Personality Differences: He hasn't suffered the same neglect from his family he had in his past life, and is therefore a little more well-adjusted to society than his past self was and could have been. He's a lot less violent as well; because he was born without control over explosive fire, and he doesn't have the same motivation to 'fight the man', so to speak, so he'll be a little more laid back and far, far less angry at the world.
