Dabi | My Hero Academia | wraith

PLAYER
Name (& Pronouns): wraith (she/her)
Contact: PM or [plurk.com profile] wraiths
Availability: I consider myself a slow writer, which I manage by keeping a small thread load. Ideally, I try to tag back two or three times a week, but that doesn't always pan out; that said I will happily backtag if you want to keep a thread going.
Preferences: Adaptable between prose and action; shorter posts will get faster replies.
Relationship Tropes: Both allies/sympathizers and enemies are welcome. Dabi is extremely frustrating and leaves very few openings for close relationships, but I'm on board if it happens!
Plot Tropes: Found family, mutual healing or mutual encouragement into self-destruction, enabling a corruption arc, villainous schemes... I'm pretty open though so feel free to just ask.
Hard No: I have preemptive opt-outs in my journal, though I don't expect them to be too much of an issue? I'm not interested in fully aligning Dabi with heroes, though other characters are welcome to try and talk him into different ways of doing things.

CHARACTER
Name/Alias: Dabi. That's It that's all you need to know.
Information: Abridged version of his app, Wiki (spoiler heavy).
Occupation: He's a bouncer at a Nightclub in De Chima
First Thing You'd Notice: Some guy cosplays Frankenstein's monster 365 days out of the year
First Yahoogle Result: Absolutely Nothing, though there may be a few scattered comments about a creepy-looking imPort. Maybe someone complaining about getting ejected from a club with his clothes on fire.
Frequent Locations: Dabi's main haunt is De Chima where he lives, but he might come by Mauritia Falls and Jeopardy whenever he bothers with the paperwork. You may be equally likely to find him lurking somewhere alone or somewhere noisy and crowded to keep an ear on the ground.
Close Relationships: He's "close" to the other villains from his world in a relative sense like how the Grand Canyon isn't so far across if you compare it to the Pacific Ocean.
Recent Activity: Actually living a fairly normal life, on the dl, getting used to a roommate—not really getting involved with heroes but maybe occasionally sniffing around shadier scenes in case something interesting comes up.
Character Goals: He mainly wants to get home because that's where his Goal is, so he's rather curious about the Porter or any way out of here; otherwise he's still pretty firm on not having anything to do with the issues of this world.
Power Goals: Makes fire, which isn't super-fancy at the end of the day. If someone wants to help him deal with the drawback of his power, which is that it literally roasts him alive (trying to find solutions, playing medic?), I'd be into looking into that!
Possible Roles: The guy lurking around the corner of your apartment building going "Look, buddy, revenge and murder ain't so bad. You should try it, give it a taste." —Ok so he has some pretty strong, if warped, ideas of justice and is pretty open to talking about that, even though he won't necessarily say why he thinks the way he does. Feel free to philosophize with him, overshare at him, let him talk you into the revenge path, etc!.
Desperately Seeking: Someone to be like "wtf is wrong with you," maybe someone who dealt with similar shit in their past to talk to (which I won't elaborate on because of spoilers - If You Know You Know).
Anything Else: Dabi is a villain, but also doesn't mesh well with those he deems to be "without convictions." Characters who do evil carelessly (or who do good for selfish reasons) will likely be received negatively by him, and despite this being an fyi I am, of course, open for this to be a CR hook!
