Shouta Aizawa [6]

Appearance

Shouta is a slender and tall, pale-skinned man with messy, shoulder-length black hair that partially hangs in front of his face and half-opened black eyes. Shouta is usually recognized for his worn-out appearance, often looking fatigued. Shouta facial hair is almost always in a stubbly, unkempt state (unless he needs to look good for the press), and his eyes tired and flat unless he's in combat. Shouta sports a baggy black outfit that consists of a long-sleeved shirt and matching pants that tuck into his boots. Shouta also wears a utility belt and his signature wrap scarf at all times. Shouta hides a pair of bright yellow goggles underneath his scarf for when he needs to use them in battle. After being heavily injured by Nomu, Shouta reveals a deep scar underneath his right eye.

Personality

Shouta is a very stern and reserved man who has lofty expectations of his students. Shouta is primarily motivated by logic and does not believe in the necessity to maintain a clean-cut appearance or filter his words or ideas for others. Shouta often comes off as cold, apathetic, and impatient, exerting very little energy in most situations, preferring to take naps in his sleeping bag instead. As a teacher with notoriously high expectations, Shouta is known to expel students who he feels are not suited for U.A. High. However, it's revealed that this high expulsion rate is only on paper and that Shouta actually re-enrolls the students he expels: Shouta does this so they can experience "death" once, giving them an experience that drives them to push even higher. Although it is noteworthy that he has not expelled any students from Class 1-A yet, despite being well-known for doing so. Shouta can be rigid and strict when necessary and has little tolerance for disobedience. Shouta is not afraid of putting his students through rigorous training and often pushes the more unpleasant parts of Heroism, so that his students can overcome their limits. Despite his apathetic traits, Shouta genuinely cares about his students and will go to great lengths to protect them. Shouta has also expressed belief in his students on multiple occasions. Shouta is also quite nurturing, as he has been seen attending to his duties as Eri's guardian and foster father without complaint. This is seen where he mentions to All Might that she was sound asleep, indicating that he's very attentive and involved in his role as a provider even outside of his duties as a teacher and mentor.

Age

Shouta is 31 years old.

Gender

Shouta is male (Shouta uses he/him pronouns).

Skills

Shouta fights by ensnaring and/or immobilizing his opponents with his capture weapon and can also use it for mobility by swinging on walls and surfaces. As highly proficient as he is at using this fighting style, Shota stated that it took him six years to learn and develop it from absolute scratch. This style of combat synchronizes well with his Erasure Quirk, as he can nullify the Quirks of his opponents while being able to restrain and defeat them.

Vampire

Shouta is a vampire in this universe. Thanks to the creation of a vitamin substitute, he no longer drinks blood.
