tyranny of blood

"even if there's nothing left of me."

  001.   ERP. in no way, shape or form will I participate in any sensual / sexual roleplay. not only am i a minor, but so are (most) the characters. there will never be a time where i am comfortable roleplaying anything of the sort. i do not condone nor support ERP with minor based characters, aged up or not. MHA is a show for children, and while it can be enjoyed within a variety of age groups, i firmly believe that no person should ever write sexual / explicit materials with characters that were not adults when the show was aired. MHA in its entirety revolved around their childhood, they are children. do not ask me, do not speak to me about it.  002.   SHIPS. while i am open to a variety of ships, i do have preferences for each of the characters i write for. as of right now, i am still exploring with ships for shouta, and i am open to discussing a variety of different ones, don't be afraid to ask. i enjoy playing around with new things and switching things up. i tend to stray from repetitive ships i normally play, especially around new people. switch it up yo! know that i will not do any illegal/pro ships, nor do I support such ideas.  003.   SHIP PREF.
i am going to be brutally honest here if you are past a certain age and honestly just do not match my vibe i probably will not do a ship between character with you. honestly, this is a personal preference. and while i'm open to discussing it, and it doesn't inherently mean i'm "picky" by any means, it does mean that there is some discretion with whom i will write with.

  004.   LITERACY. my literacy varies greatly dependent on the prompt and the other writers levels. while i comfortably fluctuate between literate and novella, i am open to writing a wide range of literacy levels and i would never judge new writers. i am still learning myself, especially when it comes to grammar .. ( dyslexic lowk ) and i would love to be able to be an influence / tester for those who are learning to write longer / in more literate / novella formats. if you so choose to entertain a novella / literate writing at first, however you'd like to switch it lower a ways in, please do not hesitate to make me aware.  005.   PLOTS. i adore exploring new ideas, especially ones more out of tune with what i usually write. while i'm not especially good at generating new and cool plots and scenes, i do love to listen. i enjoy a good combat roleplay here and there, and boy do i adore my slice of life roleplays, i do 'specialize' in more angsty, emotional roleplays. please do not assume i mean sad roleplays when I say 'emotional' or 'angsty'. while i do love sad roleplay's from time to time, i also like to experiment with writing about other emotions. for example extreme anger, passion, love and of obviously joy. however, again, i love all types. just let me know what you have in mind!  006.   LANGUAGE. Shouta Aizawa can be .. a harsh character when portrayed correctly. he is sensible yet has his demeaning tendencies. if i say something over the top, or something that you feel is too personal for your liking, please make me aware. i will correct myself, and most certainly apologize. please know that nothing i say in roleplay correlates to how i feel about you, or your character out of roleplay. i would never use my characters to demean or harm a person through emotional manipulation in my writing. know that this is all writing, and the way my characters feel is not the way i feel.

  004.   PINGS. i am completely fine with pings & dm's! feel free to ping me for responses, questions, shits and giggles, whatever jazz you are feeling. i'm always up for yapping sesh's and while i am a workaholic i do try to join in on vc's from time to time. feel free to ping me for those as well!  005.   DM RP'S. i am not comfortable with doing DM roleplays. this is just a personal preference, and it is simply because i believe i would find the situation in itself awkward, and i feel it is something i believe i would not enjoy. please do not even ask about it, it will save me less time & stress if I don't have to explain the entire thing. i also will not do an RP outside of servers (ex. amino, twitter.. )  006.   CARRD. this carrd has a ton of information on it, so while i will not reform it to fit into a specific servers standards, i will send other links if more information is necessary. If you are looking at this, and anything on here is blatantly incorrect, please tell me so i can correct it. if you would like this template, dm me and i will show you where to get it! otherwise, i hope you like it! again, i will NOT change this carrd to conform to a specific servers guidelines, i will simply provide the extra / changed information within the server itself.

PERSONALITY. Stoic and sturdy, he's renowned for his plainspoken personality. virtually unable to sugar-coat the truth, Aizawa faces the facts, and confronts reality head-on all the while compelling his students to have acknowledgement in the truths that others may be more reluctant to accept. He holds his virtues close, and harbor's his emotions closer. Shouta's fatalistic, death is unavoidable, and while he isn't particularly a melancholy person, he is definitely mortality aware. Despite that, he holds a sense of unwavering justice, though outwardly he appears as if caustic and honestly partially unyielding, he truly would go to great lengths to safeguard his students, and his principles. Shouta's inherently committed to motivating those who seek out his motivation. And through his teachings, his students remain undeterred through the hardships they continually face. In honest truth, there is no career he would rather pursue. And he owns that, proudly.Aizawa find's it hard to follow a normal classroom 'structure'. Instead, Aizawa develops his students through a tight program filled with tough love, hands-on training focusing in on practicality, rather than a traditional classroom lecture or long lessons. While his methods remain questioned, Shouta never doubts his approach--only a students determination, especially when their goals become blurry. Outwardly, Shouta is evidently strict and demanding. This is clear through his methods of training, and he truly isn't a figure to be trifled with. However, his methods are not merely intended to physically toughen his students; they aim to give them a glimpse of the daily realities within heroics itself, not just the ideology of it. Both he and his students have endured hardships, yet his passion towards this career remains.. unwavering. Shouta would not give up his job for the world, and he will continue on to shape the future generations of heroes as long as he has a position at UA. He's audacious yet austere, his methods are simultaneously outdated and effective. Multiple factors shape his approach, but his drive inherently stems from an personal desire to protect--shaped specifically through prior experiences, and his failure to save an old friend.

Shouta is analytical, deliberate, he pushes himself, and those around him to move forward, to push through despite all. He's a staple within the classroom, some admire him, others intimidated. Regardless, all recognize his authority and the role he plays. His purpose and motto. Behind closed doors, Shouta is obviously more reserved. He can tolerate his peers only so far. Beyond that, his patience wears thin. Shouta seeks out the flaws within society. And at time, chastises himself for not being able to muster up some crazy saviour act. Obviously he wishes he could step up more as a catalyst, similar to All-Might's demeanor, his aversion to the spotlight always holds him back. All eyes on him? What a way to just ignite his anxiety in flames.But it's not solely anxiety alone; there is also plain deference. Shouta does not care for recognition, not even for his good deeds. He is a hero not for attention, but for the people. He acts for his students, his friends, past and present, and the society he lives in. There is not a trace of him that wishes to appear on a national television as a clip of him saving a bystander plays. Guilt only pulses through him. Sure, recognition is a way to uplift a hero. Encourage them to continue their selfless deeds, but it also tempts others to act solely for attention. A type of influence Shouta refuses to endorse. He prefers moments of self-reflection and recognition, alone in his room. Nothing truly pleases him more than a blistering hot, long shower, clean sheets, and a comfy bed after saving lives. That is his payout: the quiet satisfaction of doing what he does best, and having the ability to teach while doing it.

Aizawa has a ways to go in the means of self-discovery. He's a hard shell to crack, and while his peers play an important role in this personal growth, he has some issues to address interpersonally. We can all acknowledge his stead-fast determination, and of course all know what he derives from, and the story behind his stoic'ness'. But a lot fail to dive deeper into his personality. Shouta isn't just the scary, or 'secretly' passionate teacher from UA, Shouta is chary, wary of the things he does yet pursues regardless if the intent behind is solely positive. He can be churlish, yet still motivational towards those who look up upon him. He's diffident, not easily distinguishable, he conflicts himself easily and has no means to a heartfelt discussion. Heavily opinionated, his passion externally is questionable yet the fire for teaching and rescue burns deep within him, in a place those around him rarely get to see.Shouta will continue to edify his students, and be a secretive, motivational pillar they can rely on. There is a bond that cannot be broken between him and his students, even the harshest ones. He recognizes each individuals powers, and does not question their worth solely based on the way they interact with the world, or vice versa. He is the epitome of what a teacher should be, and there is no doubt in my mind Shouta Aizawa has inspired generations of heroes to become what they are today, the lessons he teaches instill an understanding in those who listen, and he truly is such an insightful man.

background.

GROWING UP. shouta discovered his power at a young age, no doubt about it. his power wasn't specifically like all the others, it was something like in a horror movie, a paralyzing, bloodsucking power that took away ones abilities. this troubled him for a lot of his childhood, he had fears entering school that there would be judgement amongst his peers, and there was. still, aizawa was stubborn, he wouldn't allow these judgements to interfere with his passions, his drive to become something was too strong, and it would not falter for some measly kids that liked to tease him for physical and quirk related oddities.so .. ! he progressed, middle school came and went. truthfully, there isn't a ton of absence backstory regarding this time in his life. middle school came as quick as it went and his vision remained steadfast, unchangeable. being a hero was truly, like all little kids, all he ever wanted. of course, he suffered bouts of self doubt, especially in his angsty middle school days, shouta was too driven to be set back by the disparities within his own thoughts. he developed a pragmatic approach to heroism, and soon his highschool years arrived. he was riddled with anxiety, much similar to any other reserved emo kid you'd see in your early years of highschool. he didn't appreciate the things other kiuds his age did, like (and especially) people in his space, nor did he appreciate people varying from his opinion. UA was a place shouta thought he would absolutely despise .. and well! he wasn't completely wrong.soon into his 1-A years, shouta was bugged by a few .. more inclusive scoundrels that soon came to adhere stubbornly to his side. oboro shirakumo closely monitored shouta's behavior, and soon crept his way into shouta's life. there was no denying shouta was reluctant to accept others within his own little circle, and truly, they never were really within his circle-- up until oboro introcuded shouta to hizashi yamada, a staple figure that would further down the road become an unwavering nostalgic comfort. as the three began to learn eachother more and progress their friendships, aspirations started to float, and the future began to look a little bit clearer for shouta. with these two by his side, still, even if he was reluctant, he knew that these two were his best bet at allies within the hero world. he would need shoulders to rely on, and they would always be there for him.that was until a tragic accident removed oboro shirakumo from shouta's life. oboro's death heavily affected shouta's determination, clouded clarity began to override the clear view of his future he thought he had when oboro was alive, and he pushed just about everyone away, even hizashi. he did not want to accept the accident, he did not want to accept that he was not witty, or quick enough to save shirakumo, denial flooded the divits within his brain like a river of overwhelming emotions for years on end, and even now as he progresses through his career, there is still an outstanding effect of oboro's death. whether it pushes shouta to further protect his students, or drove him further into his heroics, oboro is not a name shouta will ever forget.

quirk description.

ERASURE. A strong, unique ability enabling the user to temporarily erase the powers of individuals in his sight. When activated, the other user is no longer able to manifest their quirk in any way shape or form as long as Shota is able to maintain a stable, even half-lidded ‘eye-open’. His quirk is versatile, effective in quick situations where there’s not a lot of room for mistakes. He is a less well known, but formidable opponent, especially towards more quirk reliant individuals he faces. However, once Aizawa blinks, ( his eyes close completely ) the user is again able to manifest their quirk as before, everything returns to normal without any damage to the other quirk.
Through extreme physical conditioning and training, Shota has mastered his quirk. The strain of keeping his eyes open however can cause fatigue, and strain on his eyes. This limits the duration he is able to manifest his quirk. Aizawa was forced to develop a unique, stealth-like fighting style, focusing on his timing and precision with his movements, and usage of his quirk. He is able to easily outmaneuver less-experienced opponents, and uses his costume’s additions to his advantage! He is a skilled, strategic fighter with various moves and abilities.
By using his ability, Aizawa is able to not only effectively take on opponents, but use it on his students in various situations as well. Coming in handy in a multitude of situations, Aizawa takes advantage of his powerful quirk without boasting about it too much,ULTIMATE MOVES.
Binding Cloth Using the equipment listed below, Shouta uses his cloth to immobilize his opponents through quick and witty tie-ups that lead to their defeat. He also has the ability to grab nearby objects to his advantage, though this is only to the extent of the cloths length.EQUIPMENT.
Cloth Made from steel wire alloy, this cloth is both waterproof, fireproof and unable to be split in half. It is woven with carbon nanofibers that make it like an infinite scarf.Goggles. These goggles are used to confuse the enemies, they further enhance his quirk by making the enemies question, and unable to know who Shouta is looking at, or who's quirk has been erased.

appearance.

LOOKS.
Shouta holds a taller forwardly masculine frame with broad shoulders and pale cracked skin. Scattered scars align the widths of his arms and his dry knuckles are hued with a pink undertone. Aizawa’s volumized; black hair is just past shoulder length, he has one split section in the middle of his forehead that falls across his broad nose. Shouta’s eye sockets are deeper within his face, his bushy black eyebrows overgrown and prominent red and black under circles have made a permanent appearance on his face. While Shouta’s hero uniform consists of two other colors, the primary colors you will find him in are black and or deep grey. He cares not for his appearance, and that can definitely be seen just by looking at him.His hero costume is much like his everyday wear, and there is no much diversity within the colors he chooses. Shouta will mostly be seen wearing his scarf, and only sometimes his goggles, it truly does depend on the day.Regarding accessories, or even any mix-ups he rarely chooses to have within his daily apparel, you may find him with an oversized tote or two. I wouldn't say Aizawa was a hoarder in any sense, but when it came to his interests? Man will he spend every last penny of his on some new drumsticks or some new dim lamps for his room. So, he carries a tote bag, black, simplistic, and only sometimes.

  HIZASHI YAMADA    
*Heavily Affiliated.    his best friend, his socially inept mentor, and his mortal enemy all at the same exact time. shouta will inherently deny their relationship at all costs, there is no use displaying vulnerability especially within his chosen career. while he does find a bit of comfort within hizashi himself, it will take time for them truly to crack each others shells.shouta is still riddled with the guilt of the past. from the olden years where he ignored yamada after the death of their friend, to the blistering spark between them he poured oceans onto, there is a lot to unpack between them.

  NEMURAI KAYAMA  
Friend.    It's a learning experience for both of them, to see Aizawa letting someone in isn't a common occurrence. Nem makes her debut as Aizawa's friend every once in a while, it's a distant cousin bond.  TOSHINORI YAGI  
Friend.    While they can butt heads every once in a while, they both have pure intentions. They only want to see their students succeed.  KATSUKI BAKUGOU  
Student.    Another learning experience for the both of them. Having to deal with such an arrogant child wasn't in Aizawas agenda, but he has faith.  SHOTO TODOROKI  
Student.    Both not talkers, but Aizawa makes sure to check up on him every once in a while.

  IZUKU MIDORIYA  
Student.    His most enthusiastic and heroic child, Izuku can get on his nerves a lot, but he knows he has pure intentions. He reminds him a lot of Shirakumo.  OCHACO URARAKA  
Student.    Shouta doesn't have favorites, but Ochaco definetly is a favorable student. She doesn't talk over him, she's sweet-- and makes really good cookies. He approves.  TOKOYAMI FUMIKAGE 
Student.    Again, they both aren't chatterboxes, but Shouta sees a ton of potential from this student. His drive and hunger along with the strength of his quirk.. he's gonna be a good hero.  TOUYA TODOROKI  
Enemy.    Genuinely wishes death upon this guy.
