Chisaki Kai (Overhaul)

appearance

Kai is a pale young man of a narrow build with short, shaggy, auburn hair parted to the right. His eyes are thin, irises small and gold, with relatively long lower eyelashes and small eyebrows. He also possesses a small scar on the left side of his forehead that he acquired due to his fight with the League of Villains. He has three piercings in his left ear. He usually has his mouth covered by a plague doctor mask. However, Kai's mask is removed after his battle with Izuku, leaving his mouth uncovered. Following the yakuza's defeat, he lost both arms to Mr. Compress and Tomura Shigaraki during an escort to a villain hospital. Kai wears a black dress shirt with matching dress pants, a pale gray tie around his neck, a belt with a long, thin buckle around his waist, and three beaded lobe piercings in his left ear. Over this, he wears a dark olive-green bomber jacket with a thick purple fur collar and white lace-up sneakers with tan soles and no socks. Kai's most distinguishing features are the white surgical gloves he wears on his hands and the magenta plague mask he wears over his mouth, which is tipped and embroidered with gold. During his imprisonment in Tartarus, Kai's hair has become a bit longer, and he has developed some stubble. He also wears a standard red-orange inmate outfit with the sleeves still attached, and his arm stumps are bandaged underneath. After escaping from Tartarus, Lady Nagant changes Kai's inmate outfit with a long, light dress shirt and dark pants.

Kai is a mysophobic, antisocial sociopath obsessed with returning the world to how it was before the Quirk phenomenon. Due to a combination of an old theory claiming Quirks derived from rats and his mysophobia, Kai believes that Quirks are a plague on humanity, having infected people with "syndromes" of heroism and villainy. He looks down upon those that use their abilities for either purpose, referring to acts of heroic sacrifice or petty crime as "sicknesses" Kai is highly determined to his ambition of eradicating Quirks, not only due to his phobias but also because such a thing would allow the Yakuza to reclaim the power they once held over society. Kai has no moral compass and an enormous ego, viewing himself as the only person in the world who's enlightened to the "true nature" of Quirks and deserving of the spot as ruler of the underworld after All For One's downfall. Despite this, Overhaul's values are noted to be paradoxical, particularly his over reliance on his own Quirk, which he happened to name himself after. As the leader of the Shie Hassaikai, Kai is usually levelheaded, thinks strategically, and, according to a conversation with Twice, seems nice at first. Whether he is acting or behaving genuinely, Kai possesses polite mannerisms and can come off as very calm and classy even to people he considers potentially troublesome, evident during his first meeting with Mirio Togata and Izuku Midoriya. If aggravated, however, he may display a powerful and visible killing intent, more fitting of his true character.
