Soshi Shinzui (真髄 素子, Shinzui Soshi), also known as Daemon (デーモン, Demon), is a student in class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero. He is a protagonist of My Hero Academia.
When he was two, his biological parents got absolutely ****faced and decided to go out for a drive, with Soshi in the backseat. They had barely driven for five minutes when they got involved in a car crash. Everyone survived, but the parents were arrested for DUI, reckless driving, assault (they started beating up and blaming the other driver) and child endangerment. Soshi was moved into the foster care system after that. Because he was under 3 years old (the biological age at which babies start developing memories), he doesn't remember any of this, but started piecing things together when he got older.
After a few months in the foster home, he was picked up by a lovely young couple. They were extremely lucky that he looked like his adoptive father. Heck, when he turned four and developed his Quirk, it was similar to his adoptive mother's Quirk of turning into a ghost. However, there was one problem that Soshi managed to figure out, but is yet to point out to his seemingly oblivious "parents": Given how old he was when he was adopted, his "mother" would have been 16 years old when she gave birth. Despite his suspicions, he hopes that his parents will tell him the truth. Eventually.
An unknown incident occurred when he was 5 years old where he went missing. No one knows the exact details of what had happened to him, but during the time he was missing, his Quirk manifested itself. Upon being returned to his parents, it was discovered that, while he had no recollection of what had been done to him, it was traumatic enough for him to develop OSDD 1-b, with two known alters that called themselves Someina and Sarah. Both of them manifested themselves as female, though neither know why. Someina tends to engage in cofronting with Soshi, handling the more emotional aspects of his life.
Soshi proved to be a lot smarter than the rest of the school, to the point where he was several chapters ahead of the rest of the class, and managed to skip a grade level, making him one year younger than his peers. This led to him being isolated socially, and contributed to him developing Asperger's syndrome. He turned to robotics for comfort, and did he get good at it. It immediately became clear to his adoptive parents that he's best suited for robotics, and he, at 12 years old, managed to get a job at an R&D department. Not because of a resume; he doesn't have one yet. No, it was because he managed to build a robotic arm with a modular unit. With no tutorial. Sure, the kids teased him, for "playing with his toys" in school, but these stopped once they realized that his Quirk could theoretically let him hack into their phones and download viruses. He also managed to perfectly replicate the Iron Man Repulsor tech.
At 13, he decided that he wanted to be a Hero, but still keep at robotics. His logic is that with the money he makes from being a Hero, he could finance the R&D Department he currently works at, and provide to those that have lost parts of themselves in the crossfire of Hero/Villain/Vigilante battles. So, he started putting a lot more effort into his studies, and, one year later, he managed to get into UA on recommendations.
◣ A p p e a r a n c e ◥
███ Appearance
Soshi is a light-skinned boy with a relatively toned build, but a tall structure, making him appear a bit on the lanky side. He has incredibly long lavender hair. He has gray hair, but he manages to hide it. He has a rather large birthmark on his right shoulder, in the shape of the symbol Chi. There's an unusual tattoo of unknown origin present on his right wrist, which has been present since he turned 5. His right eye is a dull green, while his left eye is a metallic blue. His eyes also have an odd look in that there appears to be a second iris and pupils in the original pupil of his eyes. When Someina is in control, his right eye turns yellow. When Sarah is in control, it turns the same metallic blue as his left. And when it's red, Napier is in control.
Soshi just wears the general U.A. uniform, but wears completely black running shoes instead of the uniform shoes. He also wears red half-rimmed glasses.
For his casual outfit, Soshi wears a blue long-sleeve shirt, black pants, black lifestyle shoes with a red lip and maroon heel accent. He also wears a white lab coat. He sometimes wears it like a cape instead of a coat. He wears gold oval-rimmed glasses, silver and blue moonstone earrings, and a silver pendant with the Assassin's Creed symbol on it.
Soshi's Hero costume is based on a Tron light suit, which glows magenta. His Hero Costume, like Izuku's, goes through multiple iterations before landing on one final take influenced by multiple sources, namely Iron Man and Halo. It's a suit of purple and gold armor worn over the light suit, with glowing green lines on the gold sections and a green visor. Panels open up in the legs and the back of the torso unit which, combined with repulsors on the palms and soles, allow him to fly, though he uses them in a manner similar to Bakugo.
Following the Forest Training Camp, Soshi is badly injured and needs to get cybernetics. These cybernetics replace his left eye, left ear, a chunk of his right cheek, his right middle, ring, and pinky finger, and his left thumb and index finger, as well as part of his neck. He has two sets of cybernetic fingers: a black set with purple fingertips designed for casual use, and a more durable steel pair designed for use with his Hero Costume. He also has three different cybernetic ears: A basic android-esque ear, which he uses for his Hero Costume, a lightning-bolt shaped one designed by Akemi, and a wing-shaped one which he uses as a spare. He also no longer wears his glasses.
Soshi is pretty aloof, and almost always running calculations. Despite this, it's pretty easy to stay on his good side, and he isn't very willing to demand favors from people. Whenever he's not running calculations, he's a nice guy who is more than willing to put his life on the line to defend his friends. At least, if he had friends. He can be a real deadpan snarker, though. He also supports STain's message in most regards, though he hates Stain himself and notes that the methods don't do anything to bolster the message. He also notes that the message doesn't apply for Heroes that use their money for altruistic purposes like he plans to use it for.
Soshi is a man of science, and feels that experimentation is important. There's several things he still doesn't know about his own Quirk, and has yet to find time to experiment with it. He's constantly crunching numbers to create some down time between work (as a technician) and UA.
Soshi overworks himself, and is narcoleptic (mainly due to overusing his Quirk and working late nights). He's known for falling asleep in the middle of conversations and class lectures. He won't fall asleep during the middle of physical acitivities. Soshi is also a little too dedicated to his work, and tends to neglect relationships in favor of furthering the progress of his boss's project, and is more often than not unwilling to work with others due to his introverted tendencies, despite liking his class deep down.
Soshi shows and understands less emotions than a rock. When he comes off as snarky, half of the time it's unintentional. He just doesn't know how to show emotions, period, and has trouble being sympathetic towards others because of this. His paranoia gets slightly worse after his injury, and he starts showing more emotions. Mostly negative ones. He also starts getting more forgetful due to stress.
As for his alters, Someina is extremely emotional and a bit of a mood swinger. She is an opposite-sex alter that has all of the creativity and emotions, while Soshi has all of the logic and calculations. She tends to get distracted easily and is a bit on the hyper side. She gets a long well with Mei, in spite of Mei's rivalry with Soshi. Also, no one knows why she's an opposite-sex alter. Not even Someina. She tends to engage in co-fronting with Soshi.
Sarah is more calm and reserved than Someina, but not to the extent of Soshi's emotionless state-of-being. She used to be a "protector" alter, but something tampered with their memories, causing her to forget what she was supposed to be protecting Soshi from. She spends most of her time trying to keep Someina calm, though she tends to be a bit hot-blooded when it comes to fighting.
Napier is the last alter, an "evil" alter that comes from Soshi's bottled-up frustrations at the world. He's brutal and pragmatic, though he only comes out when the other alters are unable to act.

Craftsmanship: Soshi is a mechanic at heart, and can use various objects in his surroundings to help do the fighting for him. He can jury-rig a variety of weapons if given enough time and resources.
Speed: Soshi's Quirk allows him to travel great distances in less than a second.
Intelligence: Soshi's a prodigal inventor, having built various robotics and getting the licenses needed to construct prescription prosthetics. He uses his tactical knowledge for combat purposes as a Pro Hero, planning out routes for hit-and-run tactics as opposed to fighting head-on.
███ Quirk
Artificial Intelligence (人工知能, Jinkō Chinō): Soshi is capable of converting his body and soul into data. He can upload himself into and control electronic devices, and project himself as a hologram or a ball of light. He is completely intangible while his Quirk is active. However, he is highly vulnerable to electricity in this state, and a strong enough EMP can force him out of the A.I. state or seriously injure him. Soshi has incredibly low stamina and strength due to his narcolepsy, and as such he can only stay in A.I. form for so long before he tires himself out. He sometimes manages to force himself to stay in the device for a little longer, but as stated above, he's on a time limit anyways.
Unlike most Quirk, his is less like a muscle and more like a battery: The longer it's used, the more likely it is to break down. He also tends to overheat, like a real computer without a proper cooling unit. He also tires out really easily, and has developed narcolepsy, which only gets worse after excessive use of his Quirk. Additionally, even when he's not in his transformed state, Soshi's body reacts to water as though it's boiling hot, and it may make his Quirk malfuction.
- Datatime: In his A.I. state, Soshi perceives time 255 times slower than the average human being, which gives him time to plan an attack or get in close. He can only stay in Datatime for about 5 seconds of real time (rough 20 minutes to Soshi) before he tires himself out. Pushing himself past that will eventually cause himself to faint and accelerate his aging slightly.
Datatime Beatdown: As stated above, everything appears frozen to him, leaving easy openings for him to exploit. He starts to throw a punch in Datatime, then finishes it in real time. Because the attack takes place in less than a second, the opponent has little to no time to react.
Datastream: He can use WiFi or wireless communication to move from one place to another. May take time depending on both how far point B is from point A, and how strong the WiFi/Data connection is.
Mental Hijack: He theorized that he can do this after realizing what an A.I. is: A computer that has perfectly simulated a human mind. For roughly 15 seconds, he can possess and control someone else by hijacking the brain directly. He will feel all of the pain the host feels, but he can also access the host's memories. After 15 seconds he will cause temporary brain damage. After a minute, the damage becomes permanent.
Augmented Reality: Following a Quirk Awakening, Soshi gains the ability to very briefly generate a mind-altering field around him in which he can make hard-light constructs. These constructs can only exist in the field around him, and are incredibly taxing. While they don't truly "exist" like Momo's creations do, the field Soshi projects tricks the minds of anyone in it into thinking that the objects do exist, and triggers the corresponding receptors. For example, hitting a target with an illusory knife will still trigger the pain receptors, even if no damage is actually being done. This field grows wider as he gets more emotional, but he also loses control of the illusions within it.
Power: 2/5 D
Speed: 4/5 B (increases to 8/5 in Datatime)
Technique: 4/5 B
Intelligence: 7/5 S+
Cooperativeness: 3/5 C
- Gauntlets: The gauntlets on his arms contain weak replicas of Iron Man repulsor tech, as well as one fan in each. These serve the dual purpose of cooling down Soshi's forearms and making up for his lack of strength. The repulsor tech can fire repulsor blasts, but they're fairly weak and can be powered through.
- Neck Implant: He has a neck implant designed to house an AI in a similar vein to the Halo franchise, except his AI won't undergo rampancy. It also lets him test the prosthetic limbs he makes.
- 4D-4: His A.I., the Advanced Digital Assistant, aka Ada. It helps him run through calculations and serves as a general assistant. It also keeps his wilder ideas in check, and basically stops him from getting reckless. Unfortunately, this also places further stress on his brain that can lead to issues if combined with using his Quirk for too long.
- Flight Equipment: Due to certain events following the Camp, Soshi's Quirk becomes more painful to use. The last iteration of his Hero Costume during his time at UA has built-in repulsors that allow him to fly whenever he feels the need to. This also gives him increased mobility without the need to tap into his Quirk.

His name contains the characters for "Child" and "Elementary." He still doesn't know why his biological parents named him that. He got mocked for it when he got older, but eventually the bullying stopped.
His name overall means "Element of the Pith", or "Data Soul".
Soshi has OSDD-1b, meaning that while each of his alters are distinct and it's made clear when alters switch into the main control, he doesn't suffer from identity amnesia and as such all of the alters have one cohesive memory timeline with no gaps... except for one.
Soshi is a Marvel Comics buff, knowing about the history of every Marvel multiverse and multi-multiverse.
He does use his Quirk to datamine games, but only to help him understand the code behind a game.
He goes to gaming conventions. He's currently working on a full Doom Slayer armor for the next one.
He occasionally makes his cybernetic left eye worse just so he can wear his glasses again. For old time's sake.
He collects Pokemon dolls. He has a 12" Alcremie doll in his room/dorm. He doesn't like people knowing.
Soshi can't swim.

I think if my OC met him, she would be understanding toward him, especially his Asperger's because, though she doesn't have it, she knows what it's like to be alone because she was raised in isolation.

I know, right? Everyone loves a tragic backstory, but where’s the generic “I’m just a side character” OCs?

Also, I like his hero suit design. Reminds me of Tron kinda, it's really cool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is a Tron suit, just with some Iron Man tech thrown in under it, plus the gauntlets of Iron Man 2099.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohh, I thought they looked similar with the circles on his suit, it's on the Tron suit. And the gauntlets I thought I recognized, not a huge fan of marvel but I've read some comics. More into DC

My OC has a pretty powerful quirk, I wouldn't call him like a side character if he existed in canon. The only dramatic-ish thing he has is that he didn't want to be a hero at first.

You have nothing on your account.
Think you can describe your OC?

Oh, I'm getting him commissioned since I have no artistic talent. He has curly black hair, brown-ish skin, tired red eyes, and a small scar on his cheek to make him stand out. His veins start glowing when he uses his quirk

What is their Quirk?
Also, I have a request journal open, although I’m taking a break from DA soon, both for the Sound of Silence program over Eclipse and to see who jumps ship when Eclipse becomes permanent.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He manifests a red aura using his energy to convert it inti a solid. Inspired by Red Lantern. What is the Sound of Silence program? And I have a Pinterest board of references for him, so I'd like him drawn, you can just do a headshot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Er, Sound of Silence protest. A lot of people on this site aren’t happy with Eclipse. So, from May 1st to May 3rd, we won’t use the site. See how DeviantArt reacts to the sudden loss of traffic.

What would he do if he met my OC who's a Technomancer.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Depends. Are they meeting before ore after Soshi makes his Modular Costume?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They might get along, given that Soshi can’t be hacked.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hansuke wouldn't do that. Wanting to be a hero and all. Heck, he'd ask to him to help with his tech and make his own AI.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Soshi’s pretty much already done that. Working on an “assistant” for him named Ada.
Either helps or hurts that he’s partially based on Gizmoduck, mainly using his catchphrase whenever he’s really pissed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I see. Hansuke would be abe to mae AI's due to Soshi's Quirk.
Hansuke would just help.
You RP by the way?
