Sashihara Juurou

Juurou Sashihara, also known as Sashi, is one of the students in Class 2-A at training to become a.

Appearance
Juurou Sashihara is described as a handsome, pretty boy who is relatively tall. He has short dirt blonde hair that is often mistaken as bright blonde under the sunlight. The parted left side of his fringe is long enough to cover up the entire left side of his face but it is often gel upwards as it is his iconic hairstyle from when he was an idol. The back of his hair is choppy, layered cuts that spikes upwards.

His eyes are feminine looking with long eyelashes and his eye colours are often depicted as blue, but due to his thermal imaging sights, his eye colours sometimes reflected a similar colour to Thermal Lens, which consists a variety of red, yellow, blue & purple-ish green. It is a really rare situation for his eyes to change colours as it only happens depending on the lighting and the angle he is facing or looking at. Although it is not important and Juurou, himself doesn't know about it. But it still interest others to see if they will ever get to see his eye colours change when different lights are reflected upon it.

Quirk and Abilities
Gun Finger (指銃): Juurou's quirk allows him to shoot invisible yet powerful air bullets with his fingers, depending on how much power he distributes to each finger. He usually prefers shooting with his left pointing finger where he could focus on gathering all the power there. When the power is distributed evenly, all his fingers can shoot and works like a shotgun.

It was said that it is strong enough to destroy a whole concrete wall at maximum power. But in return, his finger would sustain a severe damage from the strength which might render the finger useless, so he uses his left hand more often in order to avoid breaking his more dominant right hand.

Thermal Imaging Sights (サーマル暗視): A permanent quirk that he is born with, inherited from his father. His sights can be described as built-in night vision.

Juurou can only see living things or objects that has temperatures, and instead of actual colours, he sees everything and everyone with monochrome black & white colours.

Due to the fact he can only see things with temperatures and everything else is just grayscale, he can't read a normal book nor able to differentiate day and night apart which means he can't tell the time at all. He has to use a specially designed phone or a LED E-Book, lighting up the words like neon banners in order for him to read them as they emit the heat which form into words that he can see and read.

Since he can see heat, he is able to see, although their faces are still blank white to him but he can't see people who are possibly cold-blooded, for example: Reptile Quirks. He can actually see slight facial features but he needs to be up close to have a good look, so generally everyone is faceless to him.

The drawbacks of his sights are health-damaging. Juurou is extremely weak against Illusion Quirks as it may project a normal sight full of colours but for him, it may cause him to have epilepsy which can lead to an epileptic fit.

Its health damaging effect could be lessen by wearing his enchroma glasses which could help him get used to colours. But he refused and dislike to wear his glasses as it would make his original sights worse. Both can't be balanced so he chose to stay with his original sight and does his best to avoid anyone who has Illusion related quirks.

Moves

 * Shotgun (散弾銃): By extending out all his fingers, he can shoot with all fingers to simulate a shotgun. Fire rate is much faster than a normal shotgun as he doesn't need to recoil. The accuracy is much lower but it is useful for close-ranged combats.


 * Machine Gun (機銃掃射): As Juurou doesn't need to recoil like a normal gun would, he can perform a rapid firing machine gun without any hesitation.

Overall Abilities: When not using his Quirk, Juurou relies on hand to hand combat and has decent prowess and physical parameters above that of an ordinary student. He believes that quirks are an upgrade or an additional power to your physical strength, as to why he doesn't like to rely on his own quirks to fight, with his quirk being deadly as well cause it works like a normal handgun. So to refrain himself from relying on his own quirk, he trains his physical strength to 100% which means, in addition to his quirk, he would be 200% more powerful than anyone, in his own belief. After his training with Azetta Iwaben, Juurou was able to sharpen his skills much more further that he is able to balance both hand to hand combat and quirk usage so well that he is strong enough to be compared to pro heroes, as said by his mentor.

Physical Abilities: Juurou is pretty agile and a good climber, he often has to climb up to tall buildings to observe the targeted location's surroundings as well as being able to support others as a sniper.

Keen Intellect: Although being ranked in last for his midterm exam, but that was due to the fact he is partially blind, which is why he wouldn't be able to study for his exams. If help was requested and offered, he would be in 14th place as his mentor and his younger brother helped him with his studies too. Besides that, he is a tactical genius, like his father. He possesses high observation skills and sharp intuition which makes him a skilled strategist. Applying his tactical intelligence to his combat, Juurou would be one of the best heroes from U.A., fulfilling his own goal to become a great hero.

Equipment

 * Fingerscopes: Each fingers have 2 fold-able scopes on them. It doesn't affect Juurou's performance with or without them, but it is helpful for accurate aiming if he needs to snipe his target from a tall building. When folded, it can act as a brass knuckles as well, giving his opponents a painful, powerful, jaw-breaking punch.


 * Visor: A functioning, high tech visor with a blue screen that helps him locate his target as he cannot define which ones are his target, given the circumstances of his sights.


 * Headset: His quirks make his role better as a support or commander, compared to cooperating with others. So he would need a headset and a mic to communicate with his team.
