[attr="class","header2"]OVERVIEW
» NAME: Demura Kano
» AGE: 28
» GENDER: Male
» AFFILIATION: Hero
» ALIAS: Dauntless, The Iron Blitz Hero
» OCCUPATION: Pro Hero/U.A. Faculty
» DEPARTMENT: Department of Heroics
» POSITION: Combat Instructor
[attr="class","body"]
Kano is driven by desire to protect others, as well as an almost inhuman sense of personal ambition and achievement. He strives for constant self-improvement and views the greatest way for a hero to fulfill their duties is to be the best version of themselves that they can be. To this end, he views anything less than one hundred percent effort as disrespectful and lazy, sins he cannot forgive.
At his best, he shines, and at his worst, he thrives, maintaining a level-head and focused calm to develop a resolution to whatever situation may appear before him, whether it be a crisis or just a simple argument. He has seen what panic and fear does to people, and how it can make bad situations go to the absolute worse, and so does what he can to nip those feelings in the bud, as quickly as possible.
He is the first into the fire and the last to jump out, a fearless and selfless individual to his core. Consistently putting himself in harm's way for others, Kano believes this is one of the basest responsibilities of a hero. He is willing to, and has, stepped in the line of fire for another's safety. Though admirable, this willingness for self-sacrifice has often led him to interfering in situations despite his own injuries, one time almost resulting in a fatal result. As a result of this, he also has a very low opinion of cowards and quitters, outright telling them off and ignoring them.
Kano is a man who constantly is on a climb for greatness and will push himself to nearly impossible standards to achieve it. At the top of this mountain stands the images of his parents, who he holds as the highest echelons of achievement and representing what it means to be a hero. To match this exaggerated image, he imposes god-like standards on himself, and thus, unintentionally, onto to others.
Despite the level of seriousness and discipline he often displays, Kano often cracks jokes and has a light-hearted humor about situations, which he will share whether wanted or not. It is only during the direst of circumstance when he will not try to bring levity to an incident.

Kano takes after his mother in outward appearance, and his father in build. Tall, dark skinned, and with kinky hair, no one would be at fault for assuming he was a foreigner upon first meeting. Athletically built and conventionally handsome, his body is marred by the scars of past conflicts and battles. He possesses a tattoo of a 'M' over his right eye, standing for Monarch, which he obtained early on in his hero career. He most often dresses in casual clothing, even when teaching. His wadrobe consists of jeans, cargo pants, short sleeve shirts, and one or two leather jackets.
His hero suit consists of a black base suit, which he wears alongside a yellow thigh-holster and yellow utility belt. Over it, Kano wear a red jacket, gloves, and boots, as well as a red scarf. Each of these items are durable enough to withstand the typical punishment he'd encounter in the field.

[attr="class","body"]
A native of Tokyo, Demura Kano was born into a heroic legacy. His mother, Normandy Reeves, was an American Pro Hero known as Circuit, a respected hero of the American Southwest, while his father, Demura Maro, is a retired fire captain of Kyoto. The two would meet during a international hero summit in Japan in which Normandy attended, and soon after fall in love. She would decide to resettle in Japan, entering its heroics community and garnering much respect and friends within it over the course of her thirty-year career, while his father would rise through the ranks of the metropolitan fire department to become a captain.
Growing up, Kano had a fierce competitive spirit, striving to be the best at and win in whatever contest or event he'd participate in. Whether it be games on the playground, sports, and even academics early on, he always wanted to be number one, to garner the accolades that'd come with such spotlight. He'd dominate in sports, becoming a star on the local teams and in his school's athletic clubs. Academics would prove much more of a challenge for him to shine in, no matter how much he studied, only averaging out at a B- at best.
Though born in Tokyo, his parents would settle in Kyoto for most of Kano's early childhood. Due to both his parent's careers in the hectic domain of public service, there were times when he did not see much of them due to an emergency or disaster that was happening. But they both would fight tooth and nail to ensure they could spend proper time as a family together, even if it was only just twice a week. A majority of his time however was spent with his paternal grandparents, who lived several blocks away in the suburbs of city. Neither of the two were exactly doting, contrary, they were strict individuals who expected discipline above all else. But they were also warm and caring, looking after him.
When the family would move to Tokyo, Kano would be preparing to enter high school, and with that, he would strive for a new goal. He'd want to become a hero like his mother. Training with his father, who by this point been forced to retire due to an injury, Kano would work towards meeting and exceeding the requirements necessary to enter one of the many heroic-oriented magnet programs in Japan. His early years within high school were rough, shaped by his bold and stubborn personality. Still of the mind of being the best, he often times rubbed his peers the wrong way, and sometimes got into fights with them. These brawls however would give way to understanding, and eventually friendship. In his later years, Kano would focus on achieving high marks and recognition in order to apply to the multitude of heroic programs hosted by colleges around Japan, the most famous of which being U.A.
Passing the entrance exam as well as interviews, he'd gain acceptance into the prestigious school. It would also be during this time he would meet the hero Daimao, a severe and dark figure viewed with disdain within the Japanese and American heroics communities. Despite this, Kano found himself accepting an offer of internship with the hero's agency, Monarch. Daimao would teach him of what it'd mean to be a hero, of what it would take to truly fulfil their duties in society. This period would be marred by separate incidents and personal tragedies that would shape the young hero be: the retirement of his mother after her maiming in a fight against a villain. The loss of his grandfather during a villain's rampage in Kyoto. His own close call during a disaster in which he was forced to act in order to save others. Each of these were a catalyst of change for the better in young Kano, honing his skills, Quirk, and mentality for the real world.
When graduation day came, he wanted to show the everyone he was ready for whatever the world threw at him, and so chose a name to reflect this: Dauntless. And the world was more than ready for him. Thrown straight from the pan into the fire, Kano was in the deep end of things during his initial foray into heroics. Hostage crisis, disaster relief, and villain suppression became his week-to-week, day-to-day schedule as apart of Monarch. Growing under the leadership of Daimao, Kano would venture into his own cases, frequently clashing with elements of the criminal underworld, such as yakuza syndicates and black-market dealers.
His cases would eventually take him abroad, on the trail of a villain known as Red Claw. Landing in America, Kano would find help from the local heroes and interns of the Bass Institute, one of the country's own heroic school programs. With their help, he'd be able to capture Red Claw, though not without cost. Injured heavily, and requiring time to recuperate, he returned to Japan. Inspired by the students of Bass, Kano would look into his alma mater, searching for ways to help the next generation of prospective heroes be ready for whatever the world threw at them. He'd find this a one of the combat and physical conditioning instructors, teaching the students the best ways to not only protect themselves and others, but to also leverage their abilities to the maximum.
Once fully recuperated, Kano would also return to active hero work, taking over as the head of Monarch in the face of Daimao's sudden retirement.

QUIRK NAME: Overdrive
QUIRK RANK: A
QUIRK TYPE: Mutation
QUIRK DESCRIPTION: Kano's Quirk, Overdrive, is derived from the combination of his parent's Quirks. His mother's Quirk, Feedback, allows her to generate electricity through the conversion of kinetic energy, while his father's Quirk, Heat Sink, allows him to absorb ambient heat from the environment to bolster his physical abilities, would merge to create a totally new Quirk within their child.
NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION Overdrive is a Mutation-type Quirk that allows Kano to enhance his body's natural capabilities through supercharging it with ionic energy. This energy is derived from the conversion of kinetic energy, such as high-speed impacts, heavy blows, and even clapping, into ionic energy. Phenomenon ranging from weak sparks to arcs of crackling energy can be witnessed depending on the strength of the blow or impact he has received. When the Quirk is active, his eyes take or a reddish-glow, and wisps of similarly colored energy can be seen emanating from his body.
MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION When Overdrive is active, Kano gains a boost to his Speed and Strength to the A rank. This amplifies these attributes beyond the range of human capabilities, temporarily. This technique puts a constant drain on his body's reserves of energy, meaning it cannot be kept up indefinitely. Extreme physical activity or strenuous use of it with result in a shortened time span of use, followed by a 'cooldown' period where he is not able to utilize it.
QUIRK DRAWBACK: Kano is not invulnerable, however. Blows of sufficient force are capable of beating through his body's toughness, and causing lasting damage when they do. It also doesn't extend to blows suffered from the likes of blades or piercing ammunition; while he may be able to take a bus head on, a knife or even a piece of paper can cut his skin all the same. Overuse of his Quirk can also result in an impairment of his motor skills and functions, a result of a build-up of 'static' in his mind. These manifest as loss of balance, coordination, communication issues, tremors, and even paralysis.
The ionic energy generated by his Quirk requires a focal point to effectively channel it. Whether this be to charge a phone or power a weapon, without them, it remains in an unrefined and ill-manageable state.
These processes consume a lot of energy, and so he must consume a massive quantity of calories, as well as foods high in zinc, magnesium, potassium, and sodium to stay healthy.

[attr="class","header2"]ATTRIBUTES
| » AWARENESS (C+) (Focused and alert, Kano is a naturally attentive person, both within and outside of the action. Several years of hero work have only further developed this trait, allowing him to react with reasonable quickness to external stimuli and changing situations. | » PRESENCE (C+) (Though he's never been one for the spotlight, Kano is able to step into it when needed. He believes more so in actions over words, and so has a low media and public presence. However, those do know him are keen to listen to when he speaks.) |
| » CONSTITUTION (A) (Kano's body is capable of taking high-caliber ammunition, blows from powerful superhumans, and high-speed impacts without serious injury. He can operate at his peak for hours if need be, without rest or sleep, as a natural side effect of his Quirk.) | » SPEED (C+,->A) (When his Quirk is inactive, Kano is as quick as a well trained athlete of similar size and build. When active, his movement speed surpasses that of human capability, enabling him to outrun the likes of bullet trains.) |
| » DEXTERITY (C+) (Kano is a decent shot, whether it be with a ball or a weapon. While not quite at the levels of a superb pickpocket or master magician, he isn't a butterfingers either.) | » STRENGTH (B-,->A) (Without his Quirk, Kano's strength is similar to that of an Olympic level athlete, being able to perform incredible feats without much effort. When active, he is able to stop the likes of semi-trucks in their tracks, or dent steel plating with his bare hands.) |

EQUIPMENT NAME: Mass Energy Conversion Cannon
EQUIPMENT RANK: C
EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER: Koyote Gear Support Industries
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: The Mass Energy Conversion Cannon, or Big M.A.C., as Kano likes to call it, energy rifle designed for Kano. Keyed to the unique energy signature of his Quirk, allowing only him to use it, the weapon is capable of firing directed bolts of energy in a semi-automatic firing mode. The shots are enough to knock the wind out of a man Kano's size and build, as well as pulverize brick/stone.

SKILL NAME: Freeform Brawler
SKILL RANK: B-
SKILL DESCRIPTION: Kano is a skilled close quarters fighter, capable of taking multiple opponents at once in a confined space with little issue. While he has trained in several martials arts, such as boxing and karate, he has found his style is more suited to blending in what is needed at the time. His style of combat is loose and without defined rules, taking advantage of the situation and environment to leverage against an opponent. Whether that be tripping them in the midst of a punch, using their own body weight to throw them to the ground, or picking up a pipe off the ground to smack them with, all is fair game in a fight.
SKILL NAME: Gunslinger
SKILL RANK: C+
SKILL DESCRIPTION: A trained marksman, Kano is capable of taking out enemies at a close-to-mid range. He is also quick on drawing and firing his weapons, able to unholster and set his sights on a target far quicker than one would guess possible.
