WARNING :Ā Ā Ā Ā MASSIVE TOKOYAMI HC DUMP AHEAD !Ā part one of ..... many sldkfjds i gotta transfer a lot from old blogs
triggers:Ā body talk,Ā religions mentions,Ā mentions of binding, self hatred and transitioning.
BELIEFS / MOTIVATION:
tokoyami looks at becoming a hero the āwrongā way ā or rather, in a way that cripples his success.he doesnāt want to become a hero in and of itself, but to help as many people as he can.
this is usually a good thing, but it is motivated by his extreme guilt and self doubt rather than pure desire, believing that that is the only way to pay for his āsins.ā (i.e., the destruction or potential destruction his quirk as/could cause(d).)
he holds himself up to an extremely high standard, (it is impossible to have a totally āpureā motivation,) one of being perfect and disciplined in every way, but he consistently fails to reach that (as any human being would), making it so that he falls deeper into a circle of self-doubt and pity.
he also tends to idealize his friends for their faults, and when those difficult traits show up he gets extremely bothered, then angry at himself for his idealization, then angry for bothering them, & it escalates until heās simply angry at himself for being what he believes to be a burden.
this is an extremely deeply rooted process, one that even daily actions contribute to, & while the source isnāt completely his parents, it is certainly reinforced by his motherās abuse & his guilt relating to his fatherās death.
PHYSICAL:
heās not particularly muscled ā well, compared to his more muscular classmates. most of his muscle is in his legs & stomach. he does not have a particular training regimen, typically unmotivated unless prompted.
unlike the majority of his classmates, because a lot of his fighting is done with dark shadow moving him (so that itās harder to predict movements, as well as going from a large range), the majority of the time heās not challenged physically.
against close attacks, both attacking which he uses his sword for (seen in his dorm room), when allowed. he inherited that sword from his father after his death. he also feels fatigue easily, not so much due to muscles but because of his exhaustion that is his ānormalā state, given that dark shadow is nocturnal. (this & his low work ethic. he works a lot harder when training with friends.)
he doesnāt feel the need to bind more than not, given his skinny physique, with his hips being only a little bit wider than the average cis manās.most of his scars are on his arms, self inflicted from his talons cutting into his skin. parts of his skin are covered in a gel like skin, clear to see the feathers that poke out from them, going much like arm hair down his sides. these are mostly around his shoulders.
most of the feather is underneath skin (though the skin & the feather both have no nerves), visible with the skin being mostly clear (no muscles adding color, only the natural dark pigment) with the rest of the feaher poking out at a low angle to his arm.
HABITS:
he has a diary that he writes in religiously. itās kept in a hat box under his bed when he returns to the dorm, along with a collection heās had since he had been able to write.
at times, in nostalgia, heāll read through his earlier books. he also tends to doodle his classmates in them ! heās an incredibly private person ā especially because his mother ignored his privacy, refusing to let him keep secrets of any kind in āfear that he was hiding somethingā ā but also enjoys putting his thoughts into words.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā
PAST: Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā
tokoyami was bullied due to his appearance / personality. for someone who was already uncomfortable with his body (not knowing what being trans was at that point) this became the root of deep insecurity regarding his appearance, whether it was as simple as hesitation.
he is autistic !! he stims a lot with his hands, though usually itās in his hoodie / under his cloak, because heās very self conscious about it.Ā he also has adhd: inattentive type, bpd, depression & anxiety!
fantasy verse:Ā heās a witch & i will fight you on this fact. my boy loves the occult. heās also. in generally he tends to be superstitious, & more than that enjoys different rituals! it probably wonāt show up in my rp cause i honestly donāt know much about that type of thing but ! he absolutely adores things like that, not necessarily because he fully believes them but because theyāre interesting & he believes that they probably stem if only in part from fact.
now im gonna add some notes here. Ā while he is obviously pretty strong, Ā he has problems with control, considering that not only does he have to react, he has to communicate those thoughts with dark shadow. speed / offense / defense obviously are enhanced w dark shadow, as well as his own abilities (he would still be able to hold his own if he couldnāt use his quirk).
as well, a lot of his stats are basically his stats + dark shadow, which obv makes them higher than they otherwise would be. he also has really high stamina and working out for a long time doesnāt really. make him tired, nor dark shadow, because dark shadow doesnāt get tired & heās not the one doing a lot of the actual physical stuff. heās not good w weapons tho in general. note that these are basically during the daytime w/o a huge light source so things change when itās darker/lighter.
parents:Ā Ā tokoyamiās mother had the ability to call spirits of the dead to her and talk to them, & his fatherās was to house things, as in objects, so he cld like. store things inside of his body. itās real wild.
a quirk that combined with another in tokoyamiās lineage, so one of his ancestors had the ability to shapeshift, specifically with birds & banged w someone who has a quirk similar to aizawaās, where it basically āstillsā the action of .someoneās quirk, if that makes sense? so down the line people wld inherit a birdsā features, but it would switch. in his dadās case, he got a raptors āarmsā & eyes.
i am here to inform you that not only is he really short, heās also chubby! espcially as a child. while he now has muscle! :tm: ive made earlier posts about how he doesnāt have a good. regimen & shit so. yeah. just like deku, while he may be muscled, (though heās less muscled than. most of his classmates) he still is v chubby on other parts of his body.
also ! heās trans & he has. a large bust, which he does not bind most of the time due to fear of asphyxiation. being demiboy, he is bothered at it at times, but dislikes tight clothes as a whole (like binders). this is because he is easily overstimulated by excessive contact with his body, causing sensory overload.the exception is his neck, which his choker is a source of comfort. (though, warning, there are scars underneath that the large choker hides!)
tokoyami. will say/do something & then become embarrassed by it, after the act has already been done. heāll fuckin melt on the spot.
tokoyami is absolutely someone to leave ppl on read. or respond w several paragraphs w āK.ā like. thatās just how it is. heās lowkey an asshole in that way but he just. he has to think a lot before having a response but he gets distracted & just leaves it.
he has dark fucking brown skin !!!!! people who draw tokoyami w light skin cause heās a āpale goth uwu !!!!ā are weak & will be weeded out by natural selection.
people he trains with most are ,,,Ā mostly kirishima, kaminari, aoyama and momo when theyāre available
heās mix of japanese, native american, and indian!
self knowledge questions: Ā neediness, independence, shyness.
NEEDINESS: being affirmed & nurtured by others is a central requirement for you to feel safe. this means you can be slow to warm up to other people, which is difficult because what you most need from them is their warmth. yet you know how to be vulnerable: to let down your defenses and accept that you need another person. this lack of pretense is a valuable trait, and ultimately more endearing than the macho efforts others make to deny their childlike sides.
INDEPENDENCE: you donāt set out to be different for its own sake; you are more easily guided by what interests & moves you. you are more concerned about what is right for you than about the pressure to fit in. you know the value of selective irresponsibility, of forgetting occasionally about being āgoodā.
SHYNESS: part of you is gripped by the fear that youāll launch into something and completely mess it up. the upside of this is wise caution: people are indeed often too rash, whereas you know, by instinct, that holding back can save you. probably, you feel shame and self-disgust a bit too much. but when you do feel in your element, you act with a wisdom and sensitivity never found in people with thicker skins.
thereās an au where heās tamakiās half brother tamakis hmu
more ramblings cause i lov him so anw. i figure that like. if he had to have a motivator it would be an outside force but basically heās riding on the fact that he has more physical ability because he doesnāt perform very well in studies. ( bird brain ā¦ā¦ )
getting 14th place out of the class on midterms, heās aware that heās not motivated & as well as his migraines & other mental illnesses ( adhd, executive dysfunction, etc. ) this means that he doesnāt really reach his āfull potential.ā
heās aware of this, though, which causes him to train physically. physically training also allows him to ( a ) feel proud of himself, something that he struggles with ( b ) help him generally, esp with dysphoria ( c ) get his mind off of other things / points of stress.
i still donāt think heās like. as buff as shouji for example, though part of that is that heās naturally lean ! & he has trouble motivating himself sometimes but when he stays up late ( due to dark shadow ) it basically wrecks his sleeping patterns, so this gives him something beneficial to do while also exhausting himself, which he hopes will help him fall asleep.
like i know that i said that . . he was skinny / not v muscled ( when compared to his buffer classmates, rather ) but i guess iāve been proven wrong because it took both Buff McFuck mina and hagakure 2 push him out of the way ( not tht it took that long but that was w them straining / time skips )
so @ this point i Just Donāt Know. he got 9 in the practical which means heās obv like ?? p good but that was the entrance exam. ( he got 10 rescue my baby !!!! im so proud of him ) & then w aizawaās exams he started off at 5 & im tryna find the other thing what it ended up as but @ this point iām just , pretty divided cause iām not seeing much reason for him to learn to train w/o proper training ( & we kno that heās not someone who was trained specially like todoroki / momo tho tht doesnt mean itās not possible & at this point im just ) ya. heās gotta be able but from what we know heās not v motivated ? ausdjkfdsfjk weāll see ig.
tokoyami is a mix of shinto (where his hero epithet comes from), taoist (due to the values), & hindu (again, values). i think for now itās going to be some mix of that, though iām going to do some research on shinto values since i donāt know much about it !!!!!
generally, heās pretty superstitious, just because he knows many myths are based on facts, & the idea of āit doesnāt hurt to watch out for them.ā he prefers to avoid possible things that would make him have bad luck.
