[attr="class","body"]
Shō is an individual who holds his own beliefs in high regard. He is someone who values balance in all things more than anything else, even considering both heroes and villains to be equally valuable in society. It is due to these controversial and slightly misguided views that he chooses to operate as both a villain and a vigilante. If he was able he would even work as a pro hero, but given his less-than-ethical job he likely wouldn't pass the evaluation and background checks.
This same radical mindset has made his relationship with his adopted siblings complicated as he believes heavily in the principles of karma. He is just as likely to assist his siblings or another villain on any job, but he will fully move against them if he believes their actions are unbalanced and would tip the scales of hero and villain society. For every evil act, there needs to be an equally good act and vice versa. He believes it's his personal responsibility to be an equalizer and therefore his loyalty is in flux when it comes to any act that isn't karmically neutral.
When operating outside of either persona he is actually a rather amiable and generally pleasant person to be around. Having traveled the country he has many stories to tell and advice to give when prompted. Even still he is rather deceitful in balancing his personas and does this by actively withholding his full range of skills. Overall he's very outspoken, not afraid to address any concerns or impose his own opinions on a situation or express derision when appropriate. Oh, and he also has no problem backing it up with a fight.

The hardships he would face in his early life began before he was even born, Shō was the product of a forced marriage with a wealthy businessman Yasui Matsui who had an unhealthy fixation on those born with a physical mutation involving horns. He hoped to sire a child who had the same mutation for an inexplicable reason. When Shō was born without any sign of horns he was basically disregarded, able to still live in their home but was mostly locked away in a small room and his mother was...removed from the household.
It was during this time that his quirk manifested and he was no longer alone. Whenever he activated it a small shadow creature would also appear that he was able to converse with. He named the creature Toki and it became his only sense of comfort. Over time he discovered the true nature of his quirk and due to his own father's negligence and self-indulgence, he was able to slip out and explore the city when he was young, primarily moving at night and training himself in the process. When he was 10 he decided to leave for good wanting to explore the country and find out what happened to his mother.
He picked up several skills as he traveled across the country taking work as an assassin for pay, becoming the drummer for a band for a while, and even training in swordsmanship at a dojo. When he returned to finally confront his father he found nothing but his new "siblings" who had ended up killing his father. Even if they were reprehensible in their practice, having stolen the money his father had they had still gotten rid of a man rotten to his core. Ultimately he decided to join their little cabal, but due to his views, he would at times clash with them and decided it would be better if he stayed on the move while the other 3 settled down. Picking up an alias for his vigilante work as well as one for his villain work, he continues to operate as both to this day making sure to keep the worlds separate.

QUIRK NAME: Ethereal Ruin
QUIRK RANK: A-
QUIRK TYPE: Transformation
QUIRK DESCRIPTION: Ethereal Ruin allows the user to transform themselves into shadows to phase through solid objects, allowing for an easier and more unconventional way to get around, as well as avoiding attacks from non-organic weapons and projectiles. The user can also share their intangibility with whatever they touch as long as it's inorganic in nature and it will also be able to phase through inorganic material. He can also use these shadows to obscure his own features but this doesn't provide any tangible benefit as it functions as a disguise.
Additionally, he is able to materialize the shadows into extendable arms that originate from his body. These arms can be used to grab other objects, push and pull things, and assist in combat. The arms are used in order to move him through solid surfaces such as the ground as they can latch onto it and pull him back up if he sinks into it. They follow the same rules as his transformation and are able to also phase through inorganic material, but are unable to do the same with organics.
His quirk also comes coupled with a familiar, Toki, who is able to fully speak and think on its own but is unable to interact with the physical world in any capacity.
QUIRK DRAWBACKS: The main weakness of this quirk is that the user cannot phase through living tissue. This would mean that if say someone was wearing a boxing glove and punched the user they could phase through the actual glove but not the fist behind it.
If the arms that Shō manifests are removed or destroyed it requires a substantial amount of stamina to replace them and if the stamina limit is exceeded he will be unable to make more.
If all of his arms are destroyed and he attempts to phase he will not be able to pull himself out of whatever object/surface he's phased into until his stamina is replenished.

EQUIPMENT NAME: Black Talon
EQUIPMENT RANK: B
EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER: Unknown
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: The Black Talon is Sho's all-purpose weapon that he uses in both his work as a vigilante as well as a villain. It is just a handle when not active, fitting in a sheath all the same. The blade is formed from an unknown liquid that while having the density and potential sharpness of steel isn't actually considered a metal at all. The handle is pre-programmed to be able to form into 7 different blades at its current rank: A Katana, A Nodachi, A Tanto, a 'Buster' Sword, a Hook Sword, A Katara, and the 7th form which is split into two Dadao.

SKILL NAME: Master Swordsman
SKILL RANK: S-
SKILL DESCRIPTION: Sho possesses incredible proficiency and skill in wielding and utilizing multiple different types of swords. Regardless, of the sword’s shape or size, he can wield it as if it were an extension of his own hand. He displays incredible expertise in speed, power, and skill, allowing him to perform feats such as stopping and deflecting bullets, decimating large objects or areas, cutting through solid material such as steel, and even holding back enough strength to deal damage to his foes without killing them.
Additionally, having reached the peak of swordsmanship, Sho, aided by his sword 'Black Talons' unique qualities, has enough strength to release flying slashes to cut and damage things beyond his usual range. This is performed by swinging the sword with enough force and speed to create powerful pressure in the form of a compressed air blade, allowing him to cut at a long distance.
SKILL NAME: Swordmanship - Speed Style
SKILL RANK: B-
SKILL DESCRIPTION: A derivative and yet distinct style from his particular school of swordsmanship. Speed Style is just that: a series of techniques that focus entirely on moving at high speeds. Either using the normal grip or the reverse-grip style, Sho can use this style to unleash instantaneous slashes to shred his targets to bits using rapid sword movements that make it appear that he only swung his sword once. What makes this style effective and not just a gimmick is that instead of being well-rounded, it is trading off power for speed, which allows strikes to land a lot faster, but they are usually not as lethal. This style is much more effective the smaller/lighter the bladed weapon is.
