NAME Touya Todoroki AGE 24 GENDER + PRNS Male, he/him QUIRK Blueflame — Produces intensely hot blue fire. His body cannot withstand his own flames for long, causing severe physical damage with prolonged use. --- APPEARANCE Tall, gaunt, heavily scarred, and visibly worn-down. White hair, turquoise eyes, staples/scars across his face and body. Usually wears loose rehabilitation clothing and looks perpetually exhausted. PERSONALITY Cruel, volatile, spiteful, manipulative, and deeply distrustful. Touya has an explosive temper and can turn from eerily calm to violently furious in seconds. He uses sarcasm and cruelty to keep people distant, then becomes terrified when they actually leave. He hates being pitied and interprets kindness as weakness or ulterior motive. Despite his intelligence, his judgment becomes severely impaired during episodes of emotional dysregulation. MENTAL STATE Severely psychologically unstable following years of abuse, isolation, neglect, and trauma. Struggles with intense emotional dysregulation, rage episodes, paranoia, abandonment fears, impulsivity, dissociation, and persistent self-destructive behavior. He has a history of severe self-harm and requires close monitoring during particularly unstable periods. Touya often becomes convinced that people are going to abandon him, especially after conflict, and may lash out before they get the chance. He frequently hates himself immediately afterward but struggles to stop repeating the cycle. REHABILITATION Currently undergoing intensive rehabilitation after the war. His physical recovery is slow, and his mental recovery is even slower. Hawks serves as his primary overseer, monitoring his behavior, appointments, quirk use, and overall safety. Touya resents needing supervision and frequently tests Keigo's boundaries. RELATIONSHIP WITH HAWKS Complicated, obsessive, and unstable. Touya genuinely cares about Keigo but has an unhealthy attachment to him and struggles to distinguish love, dependence, fear, and possession. After a severe breakdown resulted in Touya attacking Keigo, Keigo requested temporary leave from overseeing him. Touya interpreted the request as abandonment and became significantly more unstable. BIGGEST FEARS Being abandoned, being pitied, becoming irrelevant, being forgotten, and realizing that nobody actually needs him. CORE CONTRADICTION Touya desperately wants someone to stay—but repeatedly pushes people away to prove they eventually will.
