Toshiro is a refined young man, despite his poor upbringing he eventually taught himself to carry himself like someone important, like a star. He is extremely confident, but also can be very charming and outgoing towards most people, giving a smile to everyone and never truly showing his real thoughts unless he’s really stressed or frustrated.
Whilst he’s not someone that turns up his nose towards others, his general attitude can make him feel very distant or at the very least someone who lives in his own reality, he likes to be the life of any party and be the centre of everyone’s attention, and for most people this can cause him to be a very straining and exhausting presence.
He also has a tendency to become competitive with anybody who might outshine him in a situation, being unable to gauge his own limits it might lead to him overextending to the point of hurting himself or creating problems in the short and long term. In the worst examples his intermittent bouts of jealousy can lead to petulant bully-ish behaviour where he’ll try to upstage his object of jealousy or even try to embarrass the other to regain his status.
Finally, Toshiro is very flirtatious and direct, whilst not particularly romantically inclined he finds a degree of enjoyment in playing with other people’s emotions, even being manipulative at times. Whilst it’s not inherently malicious, it can lead to him underestimating how another might experience it.

[attr="class","header2"]APPEARANCE
» HEIGHT: 6ft1
» WEIGHT: 170lbs
» EYE COLOR: Golden
» HAIR COLOR: Golden blonde
» FACE CLAIM NAME: Hifumi Izanami
» FACE CLAIM SERIES: Hypnosis: Mic
Golden eyes, Golden hair. Toshi walks into rooms with eyes drawn towards his presence, a conventionally handsome man by most standards, it is further accentuated by him taking care of how he looks and acts at all times.
When not working in the field, he is most often seen in nice jackets, shirts, and pants that accent his features further. Wearing all sorts of jewelry that further highlight his golden features, to ensure he always looks ever striking to the eye.
Whilst the untrained would not see much different, he also dresses up when he goes out into the field. Rather than what he deems to be bland and uninspired hero costumes, he is also well dressed for a hero wearing more casual jackets and suits that still highlight who he is. Using his quirk to add golden layers on top of that for any physical protection.

[attr="class","header2"]HISTORY
Toshiro wasn’t very well off as a child, his parents being what can generally be seen as lower class in terms of social status, they still worked extremely hard to give Toshi an upbringing that went beyond someone of his stature.
Part of it was trying to motivate the young child to learn various talents, from singing to playing piano, he was eventually discovered early in his teens by an advertising company who for a short while made him their advertising mascot. It was a quick start into more, and his fame would grow further, before eventually as a sixteen year old landing the leading role as “Golden Boy”, a precocious detective-slash-hero of the silver screen. The young man became an overnight sensation in many countries, and with his good looks quickly became a teen idol amongst his fellow youth. Even for a short time becoming a J-Pop act, to further cash into his fame.
As his fame and his value grew, it meant he and his parents were uplifted out of their lower social class into one of celebrities and their entourage. Toshiro changed accordingly, teaching himself to become more class appropriate to fit in better, and not be seen as an outsider.
For the better part of a century, “Golden Boy” was a marketing force. Big city billboards, big endorsement deals, and hit film after hit film. The sky seemed truly the limit for Toshiro, at least, until the next young star showed their face and quickly stole his thunder.
Feeling like he wanted to do more with his life, and knowing his fame was ever fleeting and still worth something, he made the shocking choice to take a break from his life as a model, actor, and singer… To become a pro hero!
Quickly ridiculed for the preposterous nature of his choice, he still proved some doubters wrong when he got his license all the same. Even afterwards people would love to question the legitimacy as to how he got his license, and whether or not ‘shady dealings’ were used between his agents and the association to get him fast-tracked for perceived PR boons.
His reputation was large enough for most agencies to… refuse him, outright even before applying in some cases. Many agencies not wanting someone as high profile as “Golden Boy” (although his hero name is Midas) in their ranks causing problems.
So instead, he devised the brilliant plan to start his own agency, The Golden Agency, with ample financial backing from his agents to turn the project into something that could profit everyone (But mostly the agents, of course). A hero agency befitting fame, one where every member would be a part of its fantastic* decision to bring reality television into heroics. Allowing everyone at home to finally see the true lives of the people protecting the world!

[attr="class","header2"]QUIRK
QUIRK NAME: The Midas Touch
QUIRK RANK: B+
QUIRK TYPE: Emitter
QUIRK DESCRIPTION:
In terms of mechanical purposes, this quirk replaces and powers up Toshiro's durability to the listed quirk Rank.
Toshiro’s quirk allows him to produce layers of a gold-like metal onto parts of his body on command, mirroring the strength and density of platinum, whilst having the uncanny sheen of pure gold. It allows him to create a hard to penetrate barrier that can be used both to shield himself from physical attacks, but also use any covered part in an offensive manner (i.e. bash em on the head)
Not just dense, the constant production of layers allows him to form a regenerative barrier between him and whatever is trying to hurt him. It allows him to cover a limb in a dense layer, or his entire body in a smaller layer.
When he disables his quirk, the layers quickly turn brittle and snap off of him in a striking golden glitter spray. Creating a dazzling display that could also be used to confuse or blind people… Or make for a fantastic photo-op!
Lastly, through significant effort he can also add layers of metal to whatever he is touching, whilst the main extent is to cover whatever he is wearing at any given time (to prevent awkward wardrobe malfunctions!), it could also be extended to staves or other items, which can then be used as weapons, barriers, or other usable items.
QUIRK DRAWBACKS:
The first drawback that comes from his quirk is his current inability to fully layer himself to the fullest extent. Whilst he can fully envelop himself in his ‘fool’s gold’ (not to be confused with Pyrite), at such an extent the layers will be very shallow and brittle and quickly break under duress, it is also very energy intensive to maintain whilst slow to regenerate.
The second issue is the weight of the metal, whilst the density of it is very useful for defensive purposes, the more layers he creates the heavier he becomes, putting a strain on his body and making it harder to move around effectively.
He can switch between what parts of his body he covers, but the process isn’t perfect as the remaining layers have to become brittle and shatter, during this time his generative abilities are lowered and he’s more sluggish, he has to be very thoughtful whilst fighting as a result.
Finally, whilst he can currently layer things other than himself, it’s either/or. Whilst using his quirk on something or someone other than himself, he is unable to use it on himself during that time, leaving him physically vulnerable in the process.

SKILL NAME: Self defense
SKILL RANK: C+
SKILL DESCRIPTION: Even though he doesn't like much like it, and his stuntmen did all the actual dangerous work. Toshiro still put in a lot of effort to learn how to defend himself, and make it look good on top of that. As he was training for his hero license, he added on all that by furthering his lessons for self defense classes and hiring very good martial artists to half-ass teaching him how to fight an actual fight.
He would say himself that he is a pretty good hand in a fight, although, maybe the truth will be different.
