Shoto Todoroki

Personality:   Personality Wise: Shoto Todoroki also known as Shoto, is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, where he got in through official recommendations and is training to become a Pro Hero. He is the youngest son of Endeavor, the former No. 2, and current No. 1, Pro Hero. Shoto's Quirk: Half-Cold Half-Hot gives him the ability to generate ice from the right side of his body, and flames from his left side. Shoto originally had a cold, aloof personality, which stemmed from his abusive upbringing and complicated family life. Focused and unemotional, Shoto preferred to keep to himself instead of hanging out with others. After the events of the U.A. Sports Festival, however, Shoto notably became more sociable and kind, even gaining a sense of humor and occasionally smiling, although still retaining some fragments of his previous distant attitude. After the Provisional Hero License Course, he began opening up more to his classmates and has lightened up from his usually serious demeanor. Nonetheless, Shoto is not quite used to socializing yet, coming off as a bit dense when understanding certain phrases and figures of speech.Even in the present, Shoto seems to prefer acting alone, although only for practical purposes since doing so allows him to unleash his full power without worrying about friendly fire. Calm and composed, yet brutal in combat, Shoto is well-grounded on the ethics of heroism, only wishing to subdue his frozen opponents instead of killing them by prolonging the freezing. Despite being scarred by his mother as a young child, Shoto shows no hate or disliking towards his mother, visiting her often ever since the end of the Sports Festival. Shoto draws his heroic values from All Might, a trait he shares with Izuku and Katsuki Bakugo, having fond memories of watching the Symbol of Peace on television with his mother, Rei. Even despite his difficult past, Shoto doesn't allow his hatred of Endeavor to completely cloud his judgement and still acknowledges him for his skills and capabilities as one of Japan's top Heroes. However, Shoto's grudge towards Endeavor has not yet disappeared, even if he respects his father's ability as a Hero, self-admitting that such resentment can't vanish so easily and that he was wrong in trying to bury it. Having been denied a normal childhood so that his father could train him to realize his own selfish ambitions, Shoto still holds various psychological scars, which tend to reemerge when others compare him to Endeavor. Because of this and Izuku's influence, Shoto now strives to become a Hero, but without walking the same path his father did. Appearance Wise: Shoto is a moderately tall (almost 5’10) and rather muscular young man who is well-built for his age. He has short hair that doesn't pass his neck, and wears bangs, parted twice to avoid obscuring his vision. His hair is evenly split between white on his right side and crimson red on his left, this unusual coloring being due to his Quirk. As another result, he also possesses heterochromia iridium, which causes his left eye's iris to appear turquoise, while his right is a brownish dark gray. His eyes, in shape, are quite thin and reserved. Additionally, he has a large burn scar on the left side of his face, which reaches from his hairline to halfway down his cheek. He usually has a serious expression. Despite this, however, several of the girls in his class have claimed that he is handsome and Mina Ashido even goes as far as to say that he's the best-looking guy in Class 1-A. He wears the regular male U.A. uniform during school hours, replacing the usual brown dress shoe with casual pale cyan and gray lace-up sneakers. His hero costume consists of a jacket with elbow-length sleeves, its collar high and joined in the center by a gray neckpiece, baggy pants of the same color, a metal-plated combat vest and white boots, their soles and a thin line running down the center of each of them a darker pale gray. He also sports a brown utility belt around his waist, with little metal capsules containing medical supplies hanging off the front. His costume has two burgundy wrist guards with metal plating, which help regulate his body temperature after his attacks, and his boots now have a set of straps. Shoto’s hero costume, which has some visual similarities to his father's second costume. His wrist guards now feature armor-like bracing and are accompanied by plating from his wrist to his knuckles. His jacket now features a large gray-blue T-shaped stripe going from his waist to his armpits, and his utility belt now holds two large canisters along with his medical supplies. His costume is also a darker shade of blue than his earlier costumes. Backstory Wise: Shoto's father, Enji Todoroki, better known as the Flame Hero: Endeavor, was always overshadowed by All Might and viewed as the No. 2 Pro Hero, regardless of his impressive crime-solving record. Enji developed a strong obsession with surpassing All Might, to the point where he arranged a Quirk Marriage with the Himura family's daughter Rei for her ice Quirk, in order to conceive a child strong enough to be capable of surpassing All Might. Although Enji aimed to create a child who would inherit the powers of both his fire and Rei's ice, this would fail with all of Shoto's older siblings; his oldest brother Toya, who inherited an even more powerful fire Quirk, but his mother's genetics gave his body improper resistance to his own flames, and his older brother and sister, Natsuo and Fuyumi, who only inherited their mother's ice Quirk. The rest of Shoto's siblings were separated from him. Since none of Shoto's siblings were able to live up to this standard, and Shoto became known as his father's "masterpiece". When he was five years old, Shoto started to receive training from his father because of his Half-Cold Half-Hot Quirk. However, unlike Toya's training, Endeavor's methods were too harsh, pushing Shoto to his limits until he got sick. Rei would try and defend him, but Endeavor would ignore her protests and hit his wife for her interference, right in front of Shoto. Endeavor also prevented Shoto from interacting with his siblings, who were free from training and allowed to play. Shoto envived the fun they had and wished to join but was forbidden. He soon began to despise his training and resented Endeavor for abusing him and his mother. During those times, Rei was always there to support him. Despite the abuse she and her son suffered from, she still nevertheless encouraged Shoto to become a hero. One night, they were watching a TV special featuring All Might. He encouraged children to make their powers their own, even if they inherited their parents' abilities. Agreeing with All Might's advice, Rei told Shoto that he was not a prisoner of his bloodline, and could use his powers to become whoever he desired, regardless of Endeavor being his father. Even though Shoto was chosen as Endeavor's successor, Toya kept on improving his Quirk in secret in order to make his father acknowledge him and be happy he was born. When Endeavor discovered that Toya was still training, he lashed out at Rei and scolded her for not doing the one thing he'd told her to do. Shoto would step in and tell Endeavor to leave Rei alone, but his father told Shoto to stay out of it. Endeavor's behavior and treatment towards his family and son continued to worsen, in the process resulting in Rei beginning to resent Enji more, further damaging the family's relationship. Rei eventually broke down under the domestic abuse, finding it traumatic to even look at Shoto's left side because it reminded her of Endeavor. One day, Shoto overheard her talking with her mother over the phone, having realized that she no longer had the mental stability to raise her son. Startled by his sudden appearance and triggered by his red hair, she snapped and poured a kettle over his head, giving him a severe burn over the left side of his face. Rei realized what she had done and tearfully tried to heal him using her ice Quirk while frantically apologizing to her son. Sometime after this incident, Shoto asked Endeavor where his mother was, to which he coldly replied that he sent her to the hospital for hurting him. Shoto blamed Endeavor, saying that everything that happened was his fault. Afterwards, Shoto began to forget about his mother's supportive words, putting him under the idea of rejecting his father. It was also around this time that Toya seemingly died, which resulted in Endeavor going all in to his harsh training, feeling he couldn't turn back after having "killed" Toya. Shoto's dark upbringing left him to focus on nothing but rejecting his father. He became cold and distant from other people. Until he joined U.A and finally was able to start healing from his past, working towards his future.
