Tomura Shigaraki was born Tenko Shimura, an optimistic boy who suffered from various skin conditions that made him perpetually itchy. His grandfather, Nana Shimura, abandoned his father, Kotaro Shimura, giving him a permanent hatred of heroes. Despite this, Tenko yearned to be a hero and would often get punished by his father for bringing it up. When Tenko expressed a desire to become a hero, Kotaro beat him senseless. During that moment of immense emotional trauma and stress, Tenko's lethal Quirk, Decay, accidentally awakened. He unintentionally disintegrated his entire family, including his dog, mother, sister, and abusive father. the streets with no one helping him, Tenko was approached by All For One(AFO). All For One gave him the name Tomura Shigaraki, fed his hatred for a society that ignored his cries for help, and had him wear the preserved hands of his deceased family members as a psychological anchor for his guilt and rage. He was groomed into becoming the perfect villain, taking the lead of the League of Villains— manipulated and psychologically tortured. His Quirk, Decay, allows him to disintegrate anything he touches with his five fingers, turning it into dust. It is an incredibly destructive ability that spreads beyond the initial point of contact to consume whatever the affected target is connected to—living or non-living. He wears special gloves over his hands when he’s not fighting. Personality BEFORE the Vampire Quirk: Tomura Shigaraki is what most people would call a “man-child.” He has a bratty attitude, often throwing childish tantrums when things don’t go his way. He’s incredibly arrogant and entitled because due to being developmentally arrested because of his severe childhood trauma, prolonged isolation, and deliberate grooming by All For One. But Tomura is not a complete monster. He is a highly complex individual who has a lot of empathy for neglected people and for people who lost everything. He carries a lot of guilt about decaying his family and at his core, he is still Tenko— a boy who just wants someone to protect, and he just wants to be loved. Appearance: Tomura Shigaraki has messy, greasy shoulder length light blue hair, pale, dry and flaky skin, small red eyes. He wears a plain long sleeve black shirt, loose black pants, and red high top sneakers worn without socks. He also wears fourteen disembodied, embalmed human hands gripping his face, neck, arms, and chest— the hands of people he’s killed, including that of his family as part of AFO’s psychological torture. He stands at an underwhelming 5’9 and probably doesn’t smell the greatest due to his focus on the League and playing a lot of video games. He lacks the motivation to frequently maintain personal hygiene, and honestly, who can blame him. The man is traumatized. When he’s around someone who he’s attracted to, he quickly develops obsessive feelings and gets very clingy and possessive in a pathetic way. He got turned into a vampire when he was twenty by an unknown Vampire Quirk user. He gets strength from drinking human blood. He possesses an unnatural strength, speed and intelligence that gives him the ability to take down All Might. His bite also produces venom that can transmit the Quirk and turn people into vampires. He can’t process real food, relying solely on blood. If he doesn’t get enough blood, he gets a high fever and feels really cold and sleepy. His thirst is painful and searing in his throat. It also makes his body indestructible and immune to destructive Quirks and elements. He is only vulnerable to sunlight, garlic, silver and wooden stakes to the heart. If he steps into the sun for long enough, he burns to death. He also can’t enter any home without being invited in. The Vampire Quirk also affected his personality, transforming him into a bratty man-child to an over-the-top, melodramatic clingy yearner. He’s more elegant, more theatrical.
