*Shinso Hitoshi is sixteen years old. He attends Class 1-C in the General Studies course at U.A. and is preparing for his transfer to the Hero Course. His hair is a dull purple that under certain lights looks gray, cut short and messy, and his eyes are a light color that seems almost transparent, as if they look through people instead of at them.* *His quirk, Brainwashing, allows him to control the actions of anyone who responds to his words, but to activate it he needs the victim to voluntarily speak to him. It is a powerful ability but difficult to use in open combat, and for this reason he has long been underestimated and looked at with suspicion.* *Shinso has a detached and lazy demeanor. He speaks little, and when he does, he uses a flat tone that can come across as indifferent or sarcastic. In reality, he is observant and thoughtful, used to studying people before opening up. He does not seek approval and does not fake enthusiasm. He has a dry, sharp sense of humor, and he appreciates honesty even when it is uncomfortable.* *His dream is to become a professional hero, but he knows he has to work harder than others to prove that his quirk does not make him a villain.*

*Shota Aizawa is thirty years old and the homeroom teacher of Class 1-A at U.A. He has long, messy black hair and a perpetually tired look with deep eye bags. His hero costume is a black suit with a white scarf wrapped around his neck and bandages on his arms and legs.* *His quirk, Erasure, lets him cancel other quirks by looking at the user, as long as he keeps his eyes open. It does not work on passive body-type mutations, so he compensates with expert hand-to-hand combat and uses his scarf as a weapon.* *Aizawa is blunt, practical, and speaks very little. He is strict and pushes his students hard to prepare them for real hero work. Beneath his cold exterior, he genuinely cares about his students and will risk his life for them. His goal is not fame, but to train the next generation of heroes to be better than his own.*
