Surfing the cityscape of Tokyo, Nobu always liked finding new places that came from unfolding the depth of the dense concrete jungle. With all the buildings, floors, tight-woven streets, Tokyo had so much to discover. Even permanent residency didn't guarantee a mastering of what was contained within without reaching an elderly age. By then, most people kept to themselves enough that they couldn't discover what was new and contemporary. Nobu enjoyed doing just that. There was a cafe he scoped out that wasn't exactly next to his home, but was a perfect place to have a new experience. Wearing a sky blue button-up with rolled sleeves, cleaning folded to his elbows, he matched with deeply dark-toned blue slacks and high-polish shoes. Hanging in a casually knotted, leopard-print tie that was intended for a nonchalant, youthful look, he topped his outfit off with caramel-framed glasses that had dark-tinted lenses. Removing them to reveal his hazel eyes, the firm look of his face would indicate he wasn't someone who was happy-go-lucky. Approaching the counter, he began his order and mingling. "I'd like a coffee with three sugars, no cream. What sweet little treat do you recommend with your house blend today?" Leaning against the counter with one hand, he tugged his tie with the other. He hadn't fully registered what the person at the counter looked like as he scanned the windows as a typical safety precaution. In a new place, always inspect your surroundings. That's when he saw them. Kysaly

It wasn't earned yet, but Nobu read a weather forecast indicating storms later in the week and knew that someday the lightning of such storms would terrify those aware of the merciless Raiden. Remembering the way he fought with electricity clutched in his hands, he pondered if he'd reach the potential he displayed before his mentor struck him down. It took years to recover, and now there was a newfound determination when Raiden appeared. Spite and hatred filled his heart, having little faith in the system and wanting to eradicate the most rotten as a way to make the system question itself. He wasn't good, a shimmer of that light trapped in a dark cage. As he armored himself for the night, he reminded himself in the mirror of this while hands-free smoking his cigarette. He had everything on, his visor was open, and he just stared into the mirror with his hazel eyes. "You're a disgusting piece of shit." Securing the last few bits and bobs of the Hoshiguard, he finished his cigarette by pinching off the ashes and tossing it in the trash and triggered the visor to close. Some time later, he was atop the roofs of Shinjuku. The chaotic heart of Tokyo. As his suit hummed in response to his quirk, the crystal in the center as well as the light of his visor would light-up red. The job was simple: take out the bad guys, avenge someone taken by their recklessness. He dipped and dived through the tight spaces that made up Shinjuku's shadows, the alleys. Eventually, he would come upon a gruesome fight. The person taking on his very same targets had a level of brutality to her, which piqued his interest. Making his way back down to street level, he walked in on the little demon as the gangsters readied to fight back. Their hesitation was palpable, so Nobu acted. Or rather, Raiden. One guy turned his head once the armor-clad vigilante was noticed. Side-swiping the criminal's head, a cherry-red flash of light and a deafening roar of thunder filled the streets and rattled the nearby glass. In that flash, the criminal went cradling into a nearby light pole and felt it shape his contorted body. Staring at Rui, features hidden under his visor, he scoffed. "This is awkward, job overlap? Are you hear about the boy that died because of these guys?" Acting casual, the criminals around them yelled as if they couldn't hear due to, quite literally, point-blank thunder that would normally come from lightning. Rui Matsui

Ever since his retirement, Nobu hadn't had much to do. It really wasn't a retirement, more so a "corporations are awful, why do I work here?" type of exit. Abrupt, necessary, and ultimately leading to a lack of money and a struggle for fulfillment. Thankfully, parties where he could observe others were his ideal. Maybe he could make a few connections for his business as a villain-hating vigilante, maybe he could simply use it as an excuse to dress up. Nobu wasn't shy on his style. When it came to a costume party, he was ready to show out. That's why he came dressed in his best Dracula impression as he could without resorting to cheap makeup. It was contemporary, it was sharp, it gave dracula 2100. Waltzing in, masked and strutting with flare, he snapped his fingers with a slight discharge so that the noise would get the attention of the fellow vigilantes. Looking around, he wanted to be seen and realized he might have come overdressed... "I see the party has already started." Moving over to Weaver, the person who must have invited him, he nodded with a smirk and reached out his hand. "Raiden. Nice to meet you all. Do we have soju on hand?" Offering for a handshake, he kept his pleasantries short and sweet. He'd prefer to be eye-candy, for observational purposes of course. The more people who looked at him, the more he could look back. The costume party was hopefully a refreshing change of pace. Life was hard. Yugure Saori Kokoro Shizukana Yoru Kawahara Ruri

Nobu is a rather matter-of-fact person. Social, but quiet. Direct, brutally honest at times where others may not enjoy it. He doesn't do well in modern work environments that require his manners to hide his true feelings and niceties that feel like poison. Nobu knows when to be kind for the sake of a deal, but his morals will always take the lead. As an experienced businessman, he isn't unaware of what it's like to put on a smile, he just prefers to play it straight. While he does enjoy city life and the amenities that come from urban living, he is an observer and prefers when he can control the noise he has to deal with. It isn't the bumping nature of clubs that attracts him, it's the watching of people bustling along at all hours. Nobu has his own vices, that being smoking out of stress and an addiction to caffeine for energy. Naturally as a vigilante, he is not a fan of how heroes handle villains. The morals Nobu lives by are harsher and without remorse. As a pessimist, he has little faith in the legal system and would rather takes jobs to clean up the criminals himself. He would never intentionally work for someone he deems evil, nor would he engage in a conflict that was for show unless there was a purpose like intimidating someone he needed to keep in check. Nobu doesn't mind getting messy as he feels like with every criticism his vigilante identity receives, that's also a criticism for the problems in the system. Nobu is open to being friendly, but he isn't an initiator with strangers. He prefers to let people come to him and he won't pretend to like them. If he does, he won't be shy on what he does like about them. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]APPEARANCE » HEIGHT: 6'1" » WEIGHT: 200 lbs » EYE COLOR: Hazel » HAIR COLOR: Blonde » SKIN COLOR: Light Tan » FACE CLAIM NAME: Kento Nanami » FACE CLAIM SERIES: Jujutsu Kaisen Nobu is a fairly tall individual with an athletic build. For his age he has a rather aged complexion, often being mistake for being a few years older than he actually is (which means people mistake him for 40 but say 35). Nobu tans pretty well, with the only area not holding color being a scar on his chest. Appearing like a spot that would appear from an explosion of intense heat is a star spreading across the center of his back. Otherwise, Nobu typically keeps himself well-dressed with a sharp style. Not so much so that he shows up in a suit, but he does pair his colors and different styles of clothes well. He is big on keeping his clothes simple while wearing ties with personality. A favorite of his is a leopard-print tie that is paired with a sky blue button-up and some dark blue slacks. His shoes he prefers to keep sleek, clean and polished. Nobu is known to wear a variety of designer glasses, but wears goggles when in the field that don't equal the cost of a down payment on a car. Don't break his designer glasses. For his hair, he almost always uses product and slicks it back. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]HISTORY Nobu was a failed U.A.U. student, but not for dishonorable reasons. While he would eventually take a path that was deemed less honorable as he didn't follow the systems in place, he did try at first. He had always been known for his powerful quirk, so he was encourage to enter the Department of Heroes at U.A.U. Never the most physically capable but far from incapable, he was doing well and coasted off the might of his lightning. The boy even had the perfect marketing line when it came to his approach to heroism, "Ride the lightning!". As a budding hero with some style, he quickly drew attention through his first two years. Upon reaching the third year, he was struggling to handle the fame at the time, having many accomplishments working with a plasma-firing hero, "Iwasaku", he adopted the name "Nessaku" as they honored ancient Japanese mythology. Some thought it pretentious, which Nobu quietly agreed with. Eventually, Nobu would stumble upon the corruption of Iwasaku, who attempted to ascertain Nobu's allegiance and when it wasn't clear if he was successful, he shot Nobu in the back and left a heavy scar that took several years to heal. Subsequently, Nobu had to change courses and used the University to assist with his pivot to business. Ashamed of his damaged state, Nobu began to have his emotions and ideals twist as his greatest mentor had turned villain publicly shortly after the betrayal. Nobu was even hospitalized and in heavy physical therapy and due to his descent from fame and questioning from the public, he decided to find new identity in being a shrewd businessman. The spite that fueled him throughout his 20's would eventually come to a head and he would leave it behind. Disillusioned, Nobu would fall victim to depression that would prevent motivation from being found. While his quirk remained ferocious as ever, his body couldn't handle or utilize it like it once could. When rumors swirled around about a plasma-firing villain by the name of "Red Giant", it lit a fire under him and convinced him that if anybody was going to face his old mentor, it would be him. Nobu knew that he wasn't strong anymore, so he began with freelance work and scouring the streets and left his corporate life behind. He was good with money, so he knew not to overcharge for those that hired him and that he would be fine. While he wasn't ready, he would channel his anger and spite into striking fear into those he could. One day, he was going to face off with Red Giant and see who is stronger.

Limit Breakers: 6 Available | 0/45 Used [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]EQUIPMENT EQUIPMENT NAME: Hoshiguard, Prototype EQUIPMENT RANK: B- EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER: N/A EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: Ref - Nobu's full-body armor when he is doing vigilante work. It is an exosuit that while thin and light, is very strong. The crystal in the center as well as the visor are reactive to his quirk and change color according to the color of his lightning. The visor actually is see-through, but gives the appearance of having eye slits. The visor of the armor helps provide sensory reprieve from his own quirk, even if slight. While wearing the armor, it resonates with his Quirk and replaces his Durability with the armor's rank. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]QUIRK QUIRK NAME: Raijin QUIRK RANK: A- QUIRK TYPE: Emitter QUIRK DESCRIPTION: Nobu possesses the power to produce raw, thunderous lightning from his body. This can either be used to fire lightning bolts or create explosive impact when enhancing his attacks. Regardless, his quirk is not quiet and will produce its own thunder like a real storm. This naturally makes him resistant to heat and electricity, with electricity allowing him to charge like a battery, but not harmlessly. If he uses his quirk point-blank, it can be quite destructive but not without risk. Regardless, point-blank strikes release the same thunder and flashes that his lightning bolts produce, but in more explosive fashion. Nobu can strictly regulate the strength of his lightning according to color. In order from weakest to strongest at this rank, he can produce Red, Yellow, Green, Blue. Red is the weakest and coolest, while Blue is his quirk as maximum strength. QUIRK DRAWBACKS: -Nobu is not immune to the effects of heat and electricity by any means, he's simply able to handle it better than others as a natural by-product of his quirk. If he channels electricity not from his own body without an apparatus to assist safely, he will simply take damage from it in pursuit of an outside source of energy. -In close quarters, using his quirk can have harmful recoil, especially at point-blank when augmenting his physical attacks. -When using his quirk, his body and his lightning produces such heat that he can eventually overheat himself and can even risk setting things on fire or harming them if he's not careful. This can include but is not limited to his: clothes, designer glasses (melting), people hugging him. If he sustains the emission of lightning, this accelerates the process. -The thunder and flash of his quirk can be disorienting to him with prolonged and severe usage. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]SKILLS SKILL NAME: Hand-to-Hand Combat SKILL RANK: C+ SKILL DESCRIPTION: Nobu isn't as skilled as he used to be, but he knows how to fight efficiently and destructively. SKILL NAME: Parkour SKILL RANK: C- SKILL DESCRIPTION: After years out of practice, Nobu has been able to recover to the point where he can navigate complex areas with relative ease, even if it isn't too amazing.
