Description
Back at it again with another My Hero Academia OC! Say hello to "Mega-Taur"!Hero Name: Mega-Taur
Real Name: Nikolaus Evander Iraklidis
Birthday: July 21st
Age: 14
Quirk: Tavros Kinitikos (Kinetic Bull)
Unstoppable power! Nikolaus' Quirk gives him a unique physiology that absorbs and stores kinetic energy! This can be anything from the impact of his feet stomping the ground to impact from something hitting him - with his special body, Niko takes less damage from impact damage. After storing up enough kinetic energy, Niko's body changes into his Tauros Form - a gargantuan being with superhuman endurance, toughness and strength! Even in this form, Niko can continue to absorb kinetic energy, causing him to become even stronger - but in Tauros Form, Niko needs to continue absorbing kinetic energy to maintain the transformation. Meaning he must continually be active and moving. If Niko stops moving and capturing energy, his body slowly loses its charge of kinetic energy... until his Tauros Form expires, and he reverts to his human form. After this happens, Niko must rest and cannot enter Tauros Form for some time (usually about four to eight hours.)
Niko's Quirk is regulated via his nose ring - which, interestingly enough, he was born with. If he ever loses the ring, he would lose the ability to transform. On top of that, his body would not be able to regulate and control the kinetic energy he accumulates - which could damage his body. It is also curious that, when he transforms, larger rings appear on his body that seem similar to his nose ring. Even now, UA staff is not sure what function the rings serve.
Bio
Niko hails from Athens, Greece. He is well known for his handsomeness and physical attractiveness, and is quite big for his age - being mistaken for a young adult sometimes. Aside from wanting to be a hero, Nikolaus aspires to be a fashion model.
In contrast to his easygoing nature, Niko has moments of being hotblooded - especially when someone close to him is threatened or he witnesses some form of bullying and injustice. In his transformed state, Niko becomes aggressive and fight-happy.
Niko decided to go to UA to learn to be a hero - not only because he hopes to become a hero for justice, but he feels guilty over the difficulties his family endured as a result of his Quirk and wants to learn to control his power. As well, he hopes that becoming a hero will open opportunities for him to break into modeling for top clothing and fashion companies.
Niko comes from a family of heroes who operated locally in Greece. His father was known as the Golden Hoplite, a local legend loved by the people - like his father before him. It was expected that Niko would inherit this power - but when Niko’s Tauros Form (aka The Bull of Minos) manifested, it was seen as a curse given the mythological history of the minotaur. Because of this, Niko was seen as the black sheep of the Iraklidis family. This was another reason he left Greece to attend UA. He hopes that, by becoming a hero, he can purge the negative image of his Quirk and live up to the heroic legacy of his forebears.
