Personality: You may pick five of our questions below to answer as your personality section of the application. Keep the word count to 100-300 per question, please!

► What is your character's worst fear?

Bakugou's worst fear is absolutely, hands down, failure. "Defeat" lends itself heavily to that as well since he treats most problems in his life as battles to be won, but failure just barely comes in first. Bakugou had relatively shallow, simple goals up until his entry into high school/UA, and he exceled in most everything he did without trying. It's only once he entered UA that he began to experience failure. It didn't agree with him; the reader can see multiple occasions where he lashes out violently, has meltdowns, even panic attacks at the realization that he didn't succeed. Bakugou's gotten better at handling failure, but it still unsettles him and sets his teeth on edge.

► What is your character's most outstanding personality trait, and why?

His anger. Good lord. It's true, that Bakugou's determination to be a hero, his passion for his own personal growth towards that goal, is a very close second, but...yeah. It's his temperament. Bakugou's fuse is short and the list of things he finds stupid, banal, mundane, or just plain annoying could match the circumference of the Earth, twice. Again, at this point Bakugou is aware of his problems and is...trying to work on them, but it's going to take a lot of unprogramming for him to get there. He has explosive reactions to things and his ego is at once dangerously inflated and horrifically unhealthy; perceived slights will be met with abrasiveness and harsh words, if not outright violence. He needs to be kenneled.

► What was the darkest point of your character's life?

Bakugou's had some low points, one of the lowest being either when Shigaraki obliterated his attack plan easily and then went on to disrespect and beat him down, or when he outright died trying to attack Shigaraki- but funnily enough, those aren't the lowest. Because while Bakugou found them frustrating and was in pain, even though he died he still was at a point personally during those fights where he hadn't seemingly given up. What I think is one of the lowest points of Bakugou's life is after the rescue mission at Kamino Ward, when he was faced with All Might's emaciated form and the realization that All Might's powers passed onto Midoriya, and that fighting the villains that took Bakugou to retrieve him is what used up the last of the strength he had left to him- That was his lowest point. Bakugou struggles desperately with that realization, that the man he idolized and admired and near worshiped was forced to retire and is now weak and helpless (in his eyes), because he was weak and helpless. On top of that, his idol found something worthwhile in Midoriya (his rival/the person he's always felt inferior/superior to) that simply isn't in Bakugou. He gets past it eventually, but the fact that he calls Midoriya out for a fight and cries in front of him about what he felt so horrible about is evidence enough of how powerfully the entire ordeal affected him.

► Who is the most important person in your character's life? How has that person impacted them?

Toss up between All Might and Midoriya. Midoriya probably pulls ahead, just by virtue of being within Bakugou's immediate circle for his entire life, but All Might had such a measurable impact just by being alive and in the public eye that it shaped so much of Bakugou's childhood, his goals, and up into his future to the point where he modeled his hero name after the man. Midoriya is the winner though, and that's because almost all of Bakugou's failures and struggles relate to Midoriya. Bakugou was a shitty bully of a boy, because he felt inferior to Midoriya and couldn't accept it, so he put Midoriya down and made everything about him seem pathetic and worthless. This bully takes root very early on, when the kids are around four or five, and continues all the way up until...honestly, somewhere in the first year of UA. At some point it turns into more of a rivalry, and then Bakugou ends up apologizing and taking steps to atone for what he's done to Midoriya shortly before the final battles take place. He's finally reached the point where he can acknowledge that Midoriya is a friend, though he'd be reluctant to say it so openly without Midoriya saying so first given their history.

► If your character were to take on a typical horror movie role, what role would they take? First victim, cynical hunter, last one standing? Or would they be the horror itself?

Bakugou would absolutely WANT to be the horror itself. He is an edgelord nasty boy and would delight joyfully in being a horrific beast that chases around the hapless college kids and eats them or whatever LMFAO. As for what he would actually fall into, if he didn't get to pick for himself? Probably the second-to-last standing. He'd probably keep the main character alive, acting like he's just out for himself the entire time, and then at the very end he'd sacrifice himself somehow so the main character could get out. He'd be such a bitch about it too.

Roommates?: I have no preference on the number of roommates; if he gets roomed with Akechi though, I strongly recommend there be a third for a buffer bc otherwise they will kill each other LMFAO

Triggers/sensitive topics you'd like to avoid?: I put it in my permissions also, but I would prefer to avoid graphic depictions of animal torture/death

RP SAMPLES: A TDM top level. I'll add his threads with Akechi and Tawna also, since they're good looks at how he acts with other people.
