Looks
Shoulder length black hair, normally tied into a small ponytail. Dark Brown eyes. Clean shaven, though he will skip shaving on bad days. Well defined body with an eight pack, though it is more caused by his lack of meals than the intense practice he's put himself through. After putting on weight, it turns into a six pack. 185 cm tall, and all muscles.
Normal outfit - Plain colored t-shirt under an unbuttoned short sleeved shirt. T-shirt is tucked into a pair of jeans or trousers. Pant legs are put over his boot legs, if possible, if not then tucked into the boots. Meant to not draw attention, as he didn't have an ID and would be considered an illegal immigrant. After getting an ID, continued to wear the same type of outfit as it was too comfortable to change.
"Hero" outfit - A full helm, equipped with a voice changer and Bluetooth to connect to communication devices. Black skin tight body suit, covered by a plain leather jacket and metal plated gloves. Black trousers made to be stretchy enough for martial arts, and steel plated boots and gloves. A ridiculously plain outfit, only known as a hero outfit because it's worn next to other heroes in their costumes.
Skills
Martial Arts ®
Martial arts had always been part of Argent's life, being a professional fighter in his last life. While he was a MMA athlete, he also learned many different martial arts to absorb them into his own fighting style. What came out, was a mix of Muay Thai, Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Silat, Krav Maga, Kempo, and many other martial arts where he absorbed a single move. In the ring, he was force to be reckoned with, as not many could stand against him in striking at his weight class. However, a few weeks before his title match, he woke up at an unfamiliar beach, possessing powers he'd never dreamt of.
Enhanced Senses ®
The secret of his high skill level lied in his senses. Even as a kid, his senses were near superhuman. Perfect eye sight, hearing, and he could even move around a new place, blindfolded, with the help of echo-location. A skill only few humans could master, he managed without much help. Though, this does mean that he regularly avoids loud places, and prefers to stay somewhere quiet.
High Pain Tolerance ®
As a child, he once broke his bones… and didn't let out a peep. Of course, this worried his parents, only for them to realize later on that it did hurt like a motherfucker, just that he didn't want to make a fuss. This level of pain tolerance continued as an adult, allowing him to shrug off blows that would send any other man reeling in pain. However, this does not mean there is no damage.
Intuition ®
With the help of his senses, his intuition has given him something close to omnipotence, at least to things around him. While not true omnipotence, his instincts are always on high alert, allowing him to predict things that would happens around him. This was how he managed to dodge falling steel beams at his work site, though if anybody asked, the look of him nearly shitting himself while surrounded by steel beams that pierced the ground around him was a clear indication that he had no idea how he didn't die as well. Jokingly, his work mates referred to him as the Lucky Star, a nickname that keeps reminding him of when he almost died a horrible and gruesome death.
Enhanced Strength/Durability
In the new world, or technically old, since BNHA had been out for a long time when he discovered it, his strength had improve by several levels. And in turn, so did his durability. After learning what his quirk entailed, he trained his body even further, to get as much from his quirk as possible.
Enhanced Speed
One of the first things he noticed in the world of BNHA was his speed. Thanks to his senses, he could keep up with his speed, but this was something he's only ever seen when near train tracks… and those falling steel beams. But his speed had improved greatly, allowing him to cover a hundred meters in 5 seconds, almost half of the normal world's record.
Enhanced Agility/Dexterity
With speed, he needed to train his agility and dexterity to make sure he didn't trip on his feet and end up rolling uncontrollably. Luckily, his finesse had also gotten a boost, as he found himself being able to leap from tree to tree with little issue, though dead branches did cause some problems as a nearby rabbit den can attest to, having a human land right in front of their doorway.
Enhanced Stamina
The most important part of his boost, is his newly found stamina. Even before training, he was able to keep top speed for an hour, and after training, for ten hours. Though, at that point, it was more that he was starving and thirsty. Since this was only him running, it's unclear how long he could remain fighting, but clearly it's far longer than anything before his arrival in this new world.
® = Pre Reincarnation
Quirk – Thousand Arms (Army of Souls)
This quirk has the ability to create hands out of thin air, made up of an unknown condensed material visible to the naked eye. These hands have the same strength, durability, and flexibility as the user's own hands, so they could not lift something heavier than what he could normally lift alone. At first, at least. After being stuck in the world of BNHA for several years, Argent hid himself away and trained his quirk to its limits, allowing him to create hands of any size, with the proportional strength they would have at that size. The durability doesn't change, so a titanic hand could still be broken by a strong enough blow. With the different sizes of hands, this means the utility possessed has increased monumentally, as he could create hands large enough to carry people and lift other heavy objects. It's possible to create hands anywhere he can see, so he uses his enhanced senses to create hands even in his blind spots. With a tiny connection to his hands, he can feel everything his hands feel, and as such, is able to use his hands as a small range radar around him.
As a secondary part of his quirk, he is able to sense everything in his vicinity. The range of this ability can vary based on how much detail is observed. When only detecting things with a measurement of over 2 meters, he can detect up to 1 Km. Measurements of 1 meters makes him only detect things within 500 meters of him. Measurements of half a meter, only reaches 250 meters. As useful as this power is, he cannot detect things that are too small, as even if he did detect them, it would be hard to understand what he's detecting. Basically, if he can't see it because it's small, he'll sense it, but not know what it is. With this part of his quirk, he's able to know exactly where to spawn his hands, to avoid them from exploding a poor SoB by accident. This was discovered when he tried to spawn a hand inside a nearby rock. When it initially failed, he tried again with even more energy, before the rock shattered from the inside, launching stone chunks everywhere. While he doesn't really mind killing if there was no other choice, he would really rather not have that on his soul.
(While only creating hands, in truth his quirk is able to materialize more than just hands and fists. Able to materialize a whole body, weapons, armor and all. Since he didn't learn about his quirk from somebody who can tell what other's quirks are, he only knows how to create hands so far. After learning about the full scope of his power [no idea when yet] he would be able to create an army on his own. HOWEVER, projectiles are unable to be created, as they can only go as fast as his own speed.)
Finishing Moves (Names not shouted, as he thinks they're Cringy)
God Hand
When fighting large opponents, a giant fist is formed above the opponent, slamming them down onto the ground with a mighty blow. With the enhanced strength, durability, and speed from the new world, this can be used without worry of his blow failing. Though, the same can't be said about his opponents, as this would most likely injure their spine, skull, and legs, that's if they were standing. If they're already downed, it will most definitely injure their… everything, if the ground doesn't give first. (If you play persona 3, 4, 5, you'll know what to expect.)
Hand of Destruction
Covering his own hands with his quirk, he's able to increase the power of his strikes as he no longer needs to worry about injuring his own hands. With no need to hold back, his blows are strong enough to break through concrete, and bend steel beams.
Asura
Summoning multiple hands, he strikes his target with multiple blows, from different directions, with the intention of truly destroying his target. With the help of his martial arts knowledge, these blows have a certain level of lethality, so this move is not done often.
[Blitzkrieg]
Summoning a legion of Greatswords or Spearmen, they charge headfirst into the enemy/enemies with great speeds and brutality, skewering or slicing, and trampling all others unlucky enough to survive the initial assault.
[God Of Battle]
Summoning an ethereal horse and a Chinese Crescent Glaive, he charges into battle as if recreating the prowess of Guan Yu.
Behaviour
Instinctive
When all else fails, let your body take control. When logic no longer works, your body knows what to do. When you cannot choose between two horrible choices, free yourself of fear and make your move. Instinct is the core of his movement. When he has no idea what to do, he'll let his instincts take over until he figures out what to do. It's never led him wrong, so why change now? Though, it was previously in a world that made common sense…
Brave
Fear is the mind killer. I shall not fear, I shall not falter. Fear may take me when I die, but never before. Fear is something normal. Even Argent has felt fear before. However, it is not something that has ever controlled his life before. When his friend was about to get crushed by falling steel beams, his first act was to shove his friend out of the way, even at risk to himself. It was only after the fact, that the fear finally got to him. He would still do the same, even knowing if the next time would result in his death.
Kind
With the world so full of death and destruction, would it kill someone to lend a hand to another? Never cruel, never hateful, be the one who pulls others up and never push them down. When life pushed him down, people lifted him back up. Because of those few people, he had taken that as the core of his own being. Kindness must never be a second thought, and is only allowed to fail when the other party shows hostility.
Loyal
Loyalty, to those you believe in. to those you fight for. To those you live for. There will always be those he will never turn his back on. No matter what stands in front of him, he will be there and help in any way he can. He will still try to do the right thing, but will stand next to where his heart lies, no matter the cost.
Knowledge
Has read the comic until the competition, and no further.
Graduated as an English major, if only so he has a fallback incase MMA didn't work out. Also has no idea why he understands Japanese in new world.
