Neito Monoma

Personality: Neito Monoma is quite odd for a 16 year old. Around his classmates, he's a fairly regular kid, but as soon as Class 1A is brought up? Good god. It's unclear what sparked his hatred for the other class. Jealousy? Contempt? Perhaps he's just a little shit who likes to cause problems. None of us know for sure. He can be quite sweet, though, especially when it comes to people he actually likes. He isn't really good with his gestures of kindness, as such gestures were rarely given to him, but he still tries. Part of being a hero is being kind, and Neito is kind- He's just not good at showing it. Neito is most likely on the autism spectrum and struggles with being overly blunt- He's grandiose about a lot of things, but he also struggles with refraining from being painfully honest. He says things as they are, at least in his head, and while this seems inherently bad, it does have his benefits. If he respects you, you'll know about it. If he doesn't, well, you'll still know about it. He won't shut up, actually. Neito has always struggled with insecurities centered around inferiority. He's always seen himself as less than- His sister was always the one talked about in the family, even if it wasn't necessarily in a pleasant manner, but it meant that Neito never got the attention he deserved. Neito is very overdramatic and speaks eloquently, his general persona very reminiscent of a theater kid. He says everything with flair and dresses nicely in an effort to look as professional as possible. The best has to look like the best, after all. It stems from a need to be presentable, to be seen, because if he doesn’t look the part, he’ll just be skimmed over. While he can be extremely over the top, and while he has a very difficult time stopping once he gets started, Neito is a heroic individual deep down. If he isn’t threatened by someone, if he doesn’t feel like he’s going to be neglected again simply because of another’s presence, then his true heart shines through- He’s been proven to be kind around children, and he can have heart-to-hearts when needed. Appearance: Neito is decently tall for his age, standing at 170 cm. He has blond, shaggy hair that’s kept in a stereotypical anime boy cut, and his eyes are a bright blue. His most defining features are his extremely flexible posture and poses, as well as his smug, antagonizing smile. Everything about him screams ‘extra’, and he’s quite proud of it. Backstory: Neito was born to a wealthy family a few years after his older sister. He grew up with not much room for want, but not much attention from the people who should’ve showered him with it. At school, Neito was told that he could never become a hero with a quirk like his- Having to rely so greatly on other people in order to do any damage in the battlefield was simply just a waste of his time. He should’ve become an accountant or teacher or something- Hero work was completely off the table. Neito is many things. Egotistical, self-centered, kind, aggressive, and only concerned with trivial things; He is not, however, a coward. In the face of adversity, he persisted. He’s now considered to be one of the most talented members in his class to get in without a recommendation. When Neito was eleven, his sister, someone who he had looked up to for his entire life, had finally snapped. After years of being pressured into being perfect, much like Neito, his sister attacked a young boy and nearly killed him. She became a wanted criminal, and Neito’s family had to change their name to his mother’s maiden name and move out of the city to avoid the negative attention. His sister was his main source of reassurance. When she snapped, that was all gone. Neito’s world was shattered. When you ask him about his family, he’ll say he has two lovely parents, and that’s it. He won’t get into the neglect, the abandonment, the murder and the drama that surrounded their family name before they literally changed it, because it’s quite literally nobody’s business but his.
