Be not Defeated by the Rain

Unbeaten by the rain
Unbeaten by the wind
Bested by neither snow nor summer heat
Strong of body
Free of desire
Never angry
Always smiling quietly
Dining daily on four cups of brown rice
Some miso and a few vegetables
Observing all things
Leaving myself out of account
But remembering well
Living in a small, thatched-roof house
In the meadow beneath a canopy of pines
Going east to nurse the sick child
Going west to bear sheaves of rice for the weary mother
Going south to tell the dying man there is no cause for fear
Going north to tell those who fight to put aside their trifles
Shedding tears in time of drought
Wandering at a loss during the cold summer
Called useless by all
Neither praised
Nor a bother
Such is the person
I wish to be

Ame ni mo makezu

ame ni mo makezu

In-Character

Physical contact Ask me if you're finishing the action in case I need to write him responding or avoiding. It could be hilarious. He tends to be very respectful of people's space except in emergencies.
Flirting Definitely hilarious. Your character gets one freebie in the name of comedic effect. After the first time, ask me. He can't consciously flirt for his life.
Romance Ask me.
Sexual Content Ask me.
Fight/spar Ask me. Will incur spoilers.
Injure Ask me.
Death Ask me.
Japanese honorifics I preserve them, but you don't have to. He takes English in school, so he can drop or attempt to translate them if he feels it's appropriate, but he's a creature of habit.

Telepathy Ask me.
Mind control Ask me.
Hacking Ask me.
Magic/powers Ask me. His power may or may not ping people with sensing abilities whether in use or not.
Medical Info His right hand and arm have scars, including a large, nasty reddish-brown scar on his upper right arm. His arm ligaments have some deterioration from multiple past injuries, so he has to be careful not to exceed his limits when using his power. His broken bones have been healed naturally albeit super-quickly, so permanent traces remain. He's an otherwise athletic young man who started strength training at 14. His pain tolerance and adrenaline are impressive, but still human normal.

Out-of-Character

Threadjacking Network: Yes. Conversations between other characters on my posts are welcome too. Log/in-person: Ask us.
Backtagging Yes please! For backdating, ask.
Handwaving/dropping Please tell me if you want to drop something so I can plan my threads. Thanks!
CRAU Ask me.
Doubles/AUs of Deku No.

Fourth-walling No. Likewise, I don't, beyond vague expys. With canonmates that might divulge canon point information, it's usually okay, just check with me first.
Format Please use whatever you like! I can only write in prose with no brackets, but that doesn't mean you have to.
Style I find threads with more information about who the character is, what they're doing, why, and how easier to respond to. But each tag will be as long or short as it needs to be.
Pace All over the place. US Pacific but I stay up late like a cryptid.

Content Warnings

Some of my icons are spoilers. I can do my best to write around spoilers, but for some things, especially fights, it's impossible. If I happen to tag out to you, and you don't want to be spoiled, please tell me!

He is a high school student taking combat training and is often in danger by choice. He broke his bones, including his fingers specifically, on many occasions. His primary motivation is saving others, and he will harm himself to do so.

Character-specific content warnings superpower discrimination, broken bones, cannibalism? (blood... and hair I guess??), finger/arm injuries, harassment/bullying, mind control, murder of adults and minors, scars, self-endangerment, self-harm, trauma, violence involving minors
