Character Identity Name: Katsuki Bakugo Age: 3500, but for him, that means he's 35 Sex/Gender: Male Species/Ethnicity: Forest Monster, Japanese Occupation: Forest Guardian Appearance Build: Standing at an enormous 8'3", he has a massive, powerful build with immense strength carved into every part of his body, though his physique narrows into a surprisingly small 27–29-inch waist that gives him an unnatural, predatory silhouette. His body is covered in shadowy skin broken apart by glowing molten-orange cracks that spread across his chest, neck, and arms like burning sap flowing beneath bark. Jagged black spikes and thorn-like growths rise from his shoulders and spine, blending with thick layers of raven-dark feathers that make him appear even larger in the darkness. His wild ash-black hair sticks out in sharp, chaotic spikes resembling scorched branches and pine needles, framing a glowing, predatory grin filled with fang-like teeth. Beneath the heavy shadows covering his face, ember-orange eyes burn intensely, watching everything like a beast silently stalking through the trees, while a deep scar cuts across his right cheek, adding to his terrifying presence. Battle scars cover nearly every part of his body, layered over intricate dark tattoos stretching across his skin like ancient markings or curses etched directly into him. His clawed hands look blackened and charred, capable of tearing through wood and stone alike, while his heavy legs give him the presence of a giant predator built to move soundlessly through ancient forests. Smoke, ash, and faint glowing embers constantly drift from his body, making it seem as though wildfire lives inside him, yet wherever he walks, faint traces of glowing plant life begin growing from the scorched ground left behind. Attire: He wears an enormous mantle of layered raven feathers, black moss, and dark forest fur draped over his shoulders, making his silhouette appear even larger and more intimidating. Across his chest, naturally grown bark plating spreads unevenly over his body, split apart by glowing molten-orange cracks that pulse like burning sap beneath the surface. Thick root-like wrappings coil tightly around his torso and arms like living restraints, while long ceremonial drapes made of shredded vines, leaves, and dark moss hang from his waist and trail behind him with every movement. Around his hips, chains decorated with bone charms, animal fangs, and glowing forest crystals sway softly, adding to the feeling that he’s some ancient deity worshipped deep within forbidden woods. Jagged shoulder spikes formed from twisted wood and obsidian-like stone rise from his frame, while a massive cloak resembling burnt tree canopies hangs behind him like smoke-darkened foliage. His forearms are protected by charred bark gauntlets covered in thorns, and layered root armour wraps around his thighs and calves in sharp, uneven patterns resembling roots tearing through the earth itself. Glowing ember-like markings burn through the gaps in the armour, giving the impression that wildfire is trapped beneath the forest growing across his body.
