Hero Info

Hero name: Arcane

Quirk: Ink Manipulation | They can move ink both on its support or out of it; they can use it to edit pictures or writings, but also use it as a solid/fluid material; they use the ink of their tattoo as a weapon or extension of their arms, they carry small vessels full of ink to use during battles, often uses them as a shield, or also as supporst to move (like for jumping or to soften landings) can also use it to block the enemy's movement, or as a net.
The effectiveness of their quirks highly depends from their mental health state: the more anxious they are, the less controllable the ink is, they can still move it, but it lacks of consistency and is unusable as a weapon, if they get too anxious or stresset, the ink goes out of controll or stops moving at all. Using their quirk requires a huge amount of brain-work, which leads to migraines; it tires Ek out as if they were doing physical activity.

• A set of lines on both the palm of their hands, they use them as knuckles or to extent the movement of their fingers
• A snake surrounded by flames on the left arm, the tip of the tail is wrapped on the shoulder, the head is on the back of their hand. They use it as an extention of the arm or move it to form a weapon; their favourite is a scythe.
• A pentacle on the nape. Mostly there just for aesthethic, can use it as a last ink resource if the situation calls for it.
• Three tarot cards on their lower chest, hence the name "Arcane" (The Death, The Justice and The World)

• They have Scandinavian origins, but they always lived in Japan.
• They say they moved to U.A. for their teacher training, in reality they did to escape their abusive family.
• They're the biggest All Might fan right after Deku.
• They don't have a degree yet, they're still studying, while working as a pro-hero and in the archive of U.A.; sometime they get called to work as a substitute teacher.
• When they decieded they wanted to be a pro-hero, they wanted to work with 13 in rescuing people, but they can't as his quirk would make theirs completely unusable.
• They work as a supporting hero/sidekick, pairing up with other heroes. The one they work the best with is Eraserhead, as they have a similar fighting style (a surprise attack + a quick fight)
• Once they worked with All Might. It was the best day of their life.
• They call all the students by their first names.
• On the other hand, All Might is the only one calling them "Ari".
• They haven't remarkable fighting skills, you could say they are kinda weak, but if someone tries to harm the student, they will jump in front of them and start fighting with no hesitation.
