Another day in her workshop. Between homework and effectively babysitting the troublemaker that was Ylva Riis, she finally found time to work on her manufacturing projects. Not only was she looking to hone her craft, but if possible she wanted to make something that could be displayed, or better yet, used by a student at the Sports Festival later in the year. Maybe then she would be acknowledged not only as a top of the line weapon smith, but by her family too. Masao had a great first year at UAU. She scored high on every test and her armor quirk helped her through any practical portions she signed up for to get extra credit. However, compared to the other support students her weapons had failed to make much of a splash. Competition was fierce when your contemporaries and seniors were people like Ana and Kei. Naturally, being that she was from a manufacturing family, her parents were furious that she hadn't done better. That's why this year, her second year as a support student had to be the big one. The one where she gets noticed and where more people start commissioning her for weapons. A woman could dream, right? In any case, even if others didn't come to her, she still had stuff to work on, like her dream weapon. A top of the line spear which she would wield into battle herself. One day she was going to be good enough to not only make it, but wield it too. One day... Taking a break from the forge Masao wiped some sweat away with a towel and took a much needed sip of water as she looked over a couple of weapon schematics again. Her workshop was open, it almost always was, but she wasn't used to getting visitors and today probably wouldn't be any different. Auden

Judging from her reaction Ylva must be a shy person. It didn’t come as a surprise to her. Given the incident that gotten her transferred to UAU, she assumed that Ylva Riis was a bit antisocial. “That one.” She pointed to a nearby room. “Do you need help with your belongings?” She brushed past the formalities, or lack thereof with this girl. She didn’t know how acquainted Ylva was with the social customs here in Japan so she probably had her reasons. The more pressing matter was getting her settled, and the disparity between her small frame next to all the belongings wasn’t lost on Masao. “I heard you transferred from Shiketsu, what was it like?” She wasn’t particularly interested but just wanted to make smalltalk. She assumed that if the school wanted to improve Ylva’s social skills they would have paired her with someone less stoic than herself. “As part of our arrangement I will request access to your weekly class schedule. Whenever possible I’ll be present to observe your active training exercises and sparring matches, I trust you will be okay with this?” Not that it really mattered what either of them thought. In the end, the school had the final say. “If you need a tour of the campus let me know. I don’t have time to show you everything, but I can show you the most important points of interest.” Ylva Riis

A new semester was just around the corner. It was strange. She had made it through her first year on the support course of UAU, one of the most prestigious schools in the country and yet, she felt no cause for celebration. Perhaps she might have, had her first year not been so painfully mediocre. She did well as a student. She scored high on every test, she was near the top of her class in terms of grades. It was when it came to the practical application that she hadn’t been able to stand out. Competition was fierce among the support students and her weapons barely stood out compared to some of the flashier inventions her classmates had made. Needless to say, the Ando family, known for their weapon manufacturing, wasn’t happy with her. Hunched over her desk she eyed the letter that had been handed to her by one of the maids of the Ando family. Why couldn’t her parents just send a text, or an email? They were still clinging to their old-fashioned ways. With a sigh she hid the letter under a stack of homework. She was going to read it later when she felt like it. For now, she had to prepare for her new roommate to arrive. Apparently she was a delinquent. Ylva Riis, the one who got expelled from Shiketsu. Part of her was surprised UAU even took a menace like that on, and perhaps just as puzzled that she had been saddled with her. Was the school hoping her good behavior would rub off on Riis? She couldn’t say, but she knew she couldn’t get too wrapped up in it and couldn’t let this violent rule breaker distract from her own studies. Walking out to greet the newcomer, she waited for her in the common area. ‘‘I take it you’re Ylva Riis?’’ She bowed her head politely. ‘‘Masao Ando. I am to be your new roommate.’’ And… What could she even call it? Handler sounded too rude. Ylva Riis

She observed the entire show from the back, her arms crossed as her expression remained neutral throughout. It was fascinating to see how differently students approached this assignment, and it gave her a good idea of who everyone was, especially the first years she wasn't acquainted with yet. The only time her gaze moved from the stage was when Gen started openly mocking everyone. She was still puzzled as to how the school had ever accepted his kind. His open mockery of others, as well as his performance should be a dead giveaway as to the type of person he was. She was tempted to speak out against him too, but she held her tongue out of respect to Zipper. Any further distractions would only derail the whole event and that was the last thing she wanted. As with many of the others, she was impressed with Kupo's display, particularly his athletic skills, although it didn't show on her face at all. Once he walked backstage she finally moved from her spot for the first time since the introductions began. Before taking the stage she stopped to acknowledge the Search & Rescue Hero. ''Great performance, Snow Fox.'' There was the vaguest hint of a smile on her face, but she didn't linger for long. It was her turn after all. Walking out with confidence she held her head high as she took center stage. She was wearing rather plain clothes. No fancy getup and certainly no signature hero costume. Closing her eyes, she let her quirk do the heavy lifting. In a bright flash her body, save for her head, was engulfed in a thin coating of white light. Once the light faded in its place Masao had donned a suit of medieval armor, a transformation so fast it was easy to miss. Opening her eyes again she looked out to the crowd. There was a distant coldness to her eyes. She wasn't nervous or fumbling her words, but it seemed more like she wasn't even acknowledging the audience in the first place. ''My name is Paragon. I became a hero student at this school to protect the hearts of the people.'' She extended a hand forward, clenching her fist lightly. ''This suit of armor will help me accomplish just that.'' She organically worked her outstretched arm into a formal bow, before turning and leaving the stage for anyone else to make their entrance.

During the advent of Chugen, many people give gifts to their superiors or ancestral spirits. Even if some don't they might at the very least take the time out of their day to hang out with their colleagues or loved ones. Masao did none of those things. Too busy working away at her workshop, Masao was improving her craft, trying to get the framework of this one sword model just right. This year had to be the year where she finally made a breakthrough and made something that proved that she belonged in the Department of Support. This sword, it very well might be the miracle she was grasping for. She kept her workshop rather neat, with weapons and tools lining the walls everywhere, but the counters, tables and floor generally being surprisingly clean for a place where smithing took place. She inspected the sword she was working on closely after it had cooled down a bit. There was a problem with the blade, but what had she overlooked? She went back to review the schematics going over the details one step at a time to track down the place of error. ''That doesn't make any sense.'' She muttered to herself. Her long red hair was tied back so that it wouldn't get in the way while she worked. Aside from her standard UAU uniform, she wore a black apron over it, an article of clothing that could practically be considered her work uniform at this point. She had left her workshop open for the day, always happy to serve the students of UAU. Although, given that it was Chugen she wasn't expecting many to drop by. Hopefully Ylva was behaving. If that girl went behind her back and broke rules she would never hear the end of it from the school administration. Mafdet Khepri

Almost always stoic and serious, Masao is not good at making first impressions or socialzing. Her devotion to her craft and her career is absolute meaning that making friends often comes second to all that. It doesn't mean she isn't eager to help. She is always ready to offer a helping hand and will happily craft weapons for those who need them and intend to use them for good. She holds herself to an impossibly high standard, both as a person and as the symbolic hero she aims to become. However, she also holds others to the same standard and will call out other students or heroes who lack honor or conviction. While Masao can come across as intense and unfeeling, it couldn't be further from the truth. She cares a lot about those around her and is very loyal to her friends. She also has a secret appreciation for cute things which no one can know about. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]APPEARANCE » HEIGHT: 6'1 | 185cm » WEIGHT: 138lbs | 63kg » EYE COLOR: Green » HAIR COLOR: Red » SKIN COLOR: Fair » FACE CLAIM NAME: Argenti » FACE CLAIM SERIES: Honkai: Star Rail Hero Attire: Luckily for her, Masao's hero costume is her quirk. When she dons her armor, Masao becomes the hero Paragon, clad in a shining knight's armor that keeps her safe and makes her stronger. She never wears it just for fun and is always dead serious when she brings out the armor, taking her mantle as the next Ando very seriously. Civilian Attire: With long red hair, a serious face and an androgynous sense of fashion she carries herself like someone who always has a sense of purpose. Being that she is tall and slender and has a masculine name she often gets confused for a man, especially when wearing her knight's armor or spending hours in her workshop. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]HISTORY I was born into the Ando family as their only child. My parents wanted a son to inherit the family manufacturing business, so I was given a boy's name and raised as a boy. My earliest memories are of my parents showing me the workshop and the forge I would one day use to tame steel just like them. At the age of six I inherited my mother's armor quirk. It was an armor just like hers, with an activation switch akin to my father's quirk. At the time I was ecstatic, but I soon learned it would take many years for me to earn this armor, this heavy burden. My parents wanted me to have the world. To use their status and experience to train me to be the best weaponsmith in Japan, but they also forced me to train towards becoming a hero. To use my armor for the people. I named my power ''Fake Divine'' when I learned firsthand how impossible it was to meet their expectations, and yet I press on. I passed the UAU support student entrance exam. It was no surprise that they were impressed with my product, I had been honing my craft since I was a child. In my first year at UAU I excelled at every written test, every practical test, my weapon production was steady and of high quality. The problem was, it wasn't good enough. By the end of my first year I hadn't managed to stand out at all on the manufacturing front. I was doing well, but I wasn't the shining example of hope that my parents hoped. I intend to remedy the mistakes of my first year heading into my second year. The only problem is this former Shiketsu student. She's on the hero course and she's a troublemaker. I am to be her student liaison. Monitor her every move and make sure she keeps up with school because she's too immature to do it by herself. It's irritating, but it's just another hurdle I need to overcome on my journey to becoming a hero.

Limit Breakers: 0 Available | 6/45 Used [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]EQUIPMENT EQUIPMENT NAME: Rosaria EQUIPMENT RANK: B- EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER: Masao AndoEQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: Masao's sword Rosaria is fashioned to look like a regular, if bigger than normal red rose. Engaging its mechanism, she can unleash the retractable blade within, revealing its true nature as a sword. Due to its hidden blade, Rosaria is easier to carry around when it isn't unsheathed and can potentially catch someone off guard if she draws it quickly. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]QUIRK QUIRK NAME: FAKE DIVINEQUIRK RANK: A QUIRK TYPE: Transformation QUIRK DESCRIPTION: In a flash Masao becomes Paragon! Masao's quirk allows her to don a special suit of knight's armor, boosting her durability and strength attributes to be equal to her quirk's rank so long as her quirk is active. QUIRK DRAWBACKS: Her armor is heavy and will cause her to sink fast in water, it is also conductive due to being made of metal and for similar reasons can very easily overheat if exposed to fire. She has to be mindful of when and where she uses her quirk, as the armor will always appear with a flash and produce a lot of noise, making it pretty much impossible for her to commit to stealth with her quirk. When she overuses her quirk or her armor absorbs too much damage, it will automatically fade away and leave her exhausted, often unable to run or stand for a short period of time. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]SKILLS SKILL NAME: Weaponsmithing SKILL RANK: S- SKILL DESCRIPTION: Masao specializes in making weapons, particularly bladed weaponry such as swords, daggers, axes and spears. If the weapon has a blade attached to it, chances are she's familiar with the design or can learn how to forge it. SKILL NAME: Sōjutsu SKILL RANK: D+ SKILL DESCRIPTION: Creating weapons with the dream of one day wielding one herself, Masao has chosen to specialize in the art of the spear, making her more proficient in fighting with a spear. SKILL NAME: Fencing SKILL RANK: D SKILL DESCRIPTION: As part of her upbringing Masao was made to wield a sword at an early age, picking up the elegant art of fencing and swordplay, although she is far from a natural born talent. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]ULTIMATE & SUPER MOVES ULTIMATE NAME: Divine Aegis ULTIMATE RANK: S ULTIMATE TYPE: Property Change ULTIMATE DESCRIPTION: Masao's chest begins glowing with the same light that normally appears when she manifests her armor. However, the light is sustained for longer this time, blinking to the beat of her heart until it manifests into a new set of armor. This armor has a special property change to it that makes it soak up damage. In addition, the light, rather than fade completely, forms a circle around her feet. This circle moves with Masao. Anyone who stands in the circle gets any damage they take transferred onto Masao instead, they also manifest a suit of armor, though this armor is entirely for flavor and has no mechanical use. ULTIMATE DRAWBACKS: Due to the energy required to sustain Divine Aegis, Masao can only keep it up for a very short time. She can also only use it if her quirk already isn't active, as the ultimate armor can't overwrite her normal armor. While she can shield anyone that steps into her circle from harm by becoming a damage sponge, the moment they leave the circle they are no longer protected by her. Her Divine Aegis also cannot distinguish between friend or foe. Anyone who steps into the circle automatically gets shielded assuming there is room. Once Divine Aegis runs out, or Masao sustains too much damage, her quirk will completely shut itself off and cannot be reactivated for the rest of the thread. The more damage she has to take, the faster her stamina and ultimate armor depletes. Masao doesn't decrease the amount of damage taken from attacks through her ultimate, she simply redirects it to herself.
