General Information
Name: Aiko Torii
Identity: Springboard
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Date of Birth: April 1st.
Place of Origin: Japan
Occupation: Sidekick
Faction: AEGIS
Appearance
Visual Appearance:
Physical Appearance: Aiko has a very doll like beauty to her, much to her dismay. While Aiko is only 4'10", she is extremely well built for her size and isn't afraid to flex it. Her black hair is kept at fairly medium length, though when training she ties it back. Her eyes are like sapphires, practically shining when exposed to light.
Civilian Clothes: Aiko is a tomboy, outright refusing to wear dresses or the sort. She prefers to wear clothing that is comfortable and easy to change in and out of, most of her clothing is composed of tanktops, t-shirts and shorts.
Hero Outfit: A protective suit developed by Sentinel herself. Despite having a high degree of protection, it doesn't prevent Aiko from being flexible in aerobatics or martial arts. The suit is mostly metallic in a silver color, but has sections of burgundy colored trim or other non metallic components. The gauntlets and boots are heavily reinforced to prevent her from tearing her skin, they also have small spikes built in for gripping surfaces. Underneath is a fire resistant black bodysuit with a built in climate control system. The downside is that the majority of the suit must be put onto her by a complicated machine.
Personality
Bad Habits: Gets pissed when you call her short, shorty, shortstop, any kind of short jest.
Goal: To live up to Sentinel's expectations and one day become a big league hero herself.
General Personality: Aiko was a streetrat most of her life, tomboyish and tough as nails. Athena lifted her out of the streets and cleaned her up, while she had a lot of pride from carving out a living on her own, she couldn't avoid developing respect for her sensei. While professional in her duties, Aiko can still be a bit of a brash hot tempered punk, especially if you use one of her trigger words. Sharp and clever, Aiko managed to rebound in her education after years of absence. She isn't a stranger to technology, only having her skills jerry rigging things reinforced by Athena for practical use, through this she developed a joy of solving complicated puzzles and problems.
Personal Life
Mother: (Your mother's name, living status and a brief description of her quirk (e.g. could make small objects float). Remember that if you have a quirk, it is likely to be either from one of your parents or a combination of the two)
Father: N/A
Siblings: N/A
Extended family: (Any other family of note, such as a famous pro-hero or important figure in the world)
History: Orphaned at a young age after her scumbag parents, Aiko carved out a living and became a survivor fairly early on. She still managed to make it to school, resourceful enough to live out of an abandoned business not to far away. As she got older though, it became harder to make ends meet going to school and scraping up the necessities of life. Aiko's attendance began to drop, alerting the teachers and principle of her school. They tried to track down her parents at her current address but learned from new owners that the place had gone in foreclosure years ago. The local government was then tasked with reaching out after failing to tail Aiko on her way home, using her quirk to clear blocks worth of travel. Her father had been arrested almost 3 years ago for robbery and her mother turned out to be a Jane Doe in a prostitution murder only a few weeks after. Realizing that she had been alone all this time, they tried to take her in. Paranoia of cops and the government had been drilled into her by her father, she bolted the moment they tried to grab her and began to move her hideaway deeper into the city.
Her base of operations for the next for years was the rooftop of an abandoned business tower, figuring out how to manipulate the various electrical boxes and water valves. She scavenged for anything useful, building a fairly substantial collection of used appliances to keep and cook food. Aiko's base by the time she 14 was pretty solid, not even having to worry about bad weather or cold winters. It wasn't until she stole from the wrong person that things changed. One night, the roof of her base was torn open like a cheap tin can despite all of her efforts to build solid shelter, Aiko kicked the assailant and then tried to escape through the building only to be intercepted by drones. By the time she reached the lobby, the same crazy strong lady who tore off her roof also knocked her down and cuffed her with little effort. When the police arrived and attempted to identify her, the description matched a string of late night trespassing. They were ready to drag her off to jail, still not knowing her name when the strong lady made them take pause. Apparently she matched a missing child that they had been looking for, the better part of several years. The woman made a deal with the police before taking the girl into her personal custody.
Aiko fought and spat venom at the woman, only relenting when they approached the building that the woman owned. Wild ideas and fears filled her mind, worrying that she was going to forever prison or going to be the subject of an experiment. As her eyes adjusted to the lights, Aiko began to realize and recognize the woman, that all tech hero with the funny accent. Much to her surprise, the hero gave her a rather large space with a bed, offering her a meal of her choice. Aiko was paranoid, but also hungry, tempted to just escape as the security in the place didn't look that tough. Though the food provided was of such a great quality, she had almost forgotten what decent food tasted like. The woman later approached her in plain clothes, trying to get a better picture of the young girl's life. Aiko didn't feel the need to be on edge around the woman, she was only a few years older. Aiko shared her viewpoint of the story, thinking that for all these years her parents were probably out scamming and stealing from people all these years before Athena provided her with the actual truth. Her father being stuck in prison didn't surprise her, but the coroner's photos of her mother shattered her tough front.
Rehabilitation, that's what Athena called whatever she was doing. She provided Aiko with whatever she needed in exchange for going through a cram school course. Aiko had kept up with some of her studies over the years so most of it wasn't too hard to grasp. Towards the end of a year of being in Athena's care, the program was coming to an end. In a sit down interview, Athena was outlining some options for Aiko's future. Going back to school with government assistance being one of the top options Athena presented her. This had been weighing on her for months, however Aiko ended up breaking down and begging the hero to let her stay, wanting to help her. This conclusion appeared to briefly blindside her host, but was met with a counteroffer. Athena offered to provide her a sponsorship to one of the hero schools, that she had to excel and push the envelope. Aiko felt fulfilled by this challenge laid out for her and took it. Aiko was sponsored into UA and went all out in her studies and tasks set out in front of her. Despite her lack of social interactions during her years on her own, she was able to mesh back into society and make a few friends at school.
Athena's sponsorship of Aiko became more public as time went on, surprising many when Aiko went to intern under the usually lone wolf heroine. As they interacted in a more professional environment, Aiko often nagged at her sponsor that she should start developing an agency of her own, that all of the tech she had seen had the potential to do so much more. The heroine was a bit hesitant to even consider it, sharing the story of her hubris of trying to provide for the world with her technology. Aiko was a bit shocked at this revelation of Athena's deadly artificial intelligence, but reminded her that everyone deserves another chance. Athena took it under consideration, but Aiko didn't keep her hopes up, in the very least she would keep the promise to work with her still. Eventually Aiko graduated from UA with top marks, several agencies wanting to snatch her up. However Athena silenced them all when she made her teaser announcement that she was laying down the groundwork for cooperating with others.
Springboard was Aiko's hero name, having taken a literal interpretation of her quirk and sticking with it. While she didn't always get to work directly with Athena, Aiko was part of larger operations that took months of planning and prep. Aiko was nearly blindsided when Athena made a public statement on live tv that she was building up an actual agency instead of merely seeking new collaboration with top heroes and their agencies. Aiko's face and profile was front and center as one of Sentinel's sidekicks much to her shock and enjoyment.
Quirk
Name: Mortal Coils
Quirk Type: Mutant
Power: Each of Aiko's limbs have 2 spring like coils in them that allow her to absorb and discharge great amounts of tension. This allows her to jump great distances as well as deliver powerful strikes.
Supermoves:
Instant Reprisal: Aiko catches an opponent's strike with her hand (or hands), building tension mostly in her arms and slight amount in her legs. Within seconds, Aiko will deliver a counter blow, backed by her own strength added on top.
Raging Bull: Aiko pushes off of a surface with her hands, discharging tension as if she were jumping off as she accelerates forward. Her legs are either in forward position or brought forward as she then doubles down and releases the power from her legs on impact with her intended target.
Rolling Thunder: Aiko rapidly punches her foe with regular force, rapidly building up a charge in both of her arms. She then delivers a double punch that delivers all of the build up tension.
Power Fist: Aiko uses one arm to charge the other, discharging any tension as she then rapidly makes full force contact to quickly build up tension in her chosen arm.
Drawbacks: If Aiko has to discharge a great amount of tension, it must against a solid object to distribute the energy, otherwise it would cause recoil and cause possible wear on her muscles or ligaments. At a certain point, her level of fitness and concentration cannot prevent her coils from slowly losing this bulk amount of tension. Being concussed or having the wind knocked out of her would cause her to lose her grip on any energy stored, which especially dangerous if she is airborne. In order to absorb kinetic energy into tension, it MUST be somewhat center line with one or more of her coils (hands, feet, elbows or knees), otherwise it will either be a major loss of energy she could use or cause injury.
Fighting Style: Springboard tends to stay very mobile and acrobatic, always trying to pounce across distances between blows as she has to be meticulous when it comes to approaching her targets. Fighting strength and power types is easy for her, she can hold her ground and use their own force against them. When it comes to emitters and more peculiar quirks, she tends to be evasive until she figures their limits and risks to others and herself.
