hello bnha tumblr, meet my new oc :))
Management Course Student, Romi Ibesen
Quirk: Mountain Sheep [mutant]
it doesn't leave much to the imagination!
some characteristics of his quirk include,
incredibly tough skin around his hands, arms, legs and feet. he doesn't have any feeling in his fingers, nor his toes or soles of his feet. the rest of his body is rather thick-skinned as well!
horns: he has the horns of a mountain ram! these horns are also very tough and require regular maintenance.
he grows out a thick coat of wool, which he keeps short during the summer to avoid heatstroke. he lets it grow out for the colder months, and some of his peers (jokingly) reckon he could survive the arctic winter
of course, he has the tail of a sheep! there's baby pictutes of him when he still had a lamb's tail; he gets a lot of attention whenever the baby pictures are revealed :)
those eyes. look at those eyes. they mean no harm. until you bother him, maybe.
minor detail. he has the head of a sheep
he is a foreign exchange student from northern Europe! he still has some trouble with speaking Japanese coherently, but he's steadily improving!
Age: 16 years, first year student
he applied for the management course with the ambition of establishing two successful agencies; a hero agency, and a support agency. he is studious and dedicated, but he is very much a social butterfly, a trait that furthers his potential immensely.
Birthday: January 21st. yes. he missed the dates of Capricorn by one day.
although his coursework subjects don't demand any physical input, suchlike the hero course or support course, he maintains a healthy physique and generally relaxes by going for a run or listening to music.
he is 6'0½" ! tall boy :)
he prides himself in creating good friendships and ties between his class and students from both the hero course and support course! and of course, some of the business class and general studies student body are fond of him also
he has an entire wardrobe of woollen/knitted jumpers that he brought from home, his notable favourite being an Aran Jumper (not quite from his homeplace, but further west of Europe). you will often see him wearing them during the late autumn months, and all through winter, and maybe until early spring. he has an undying love for his origin country's culture
it comes without shock that he has become close friends with class 1-b's Pony Tsunotori! along with sharing products for the upkeeping of their horns, they like to discuss the cultural differences between America and Japan, vs Scandinavia and Japan. Romi is confident in speaking fluently in English, and Pony adores his accent :)
he is often calm-natured, despite his sometimes intimidating and outwardly appearance. he's often very direct when speaking, although he does have a habit of rambling when he becomes unfocused. noticeably, he also has a habit of using his hands to gesture while speaking! especially when he's excited!
dont get on his bad side. please. he will assert himself and he will make his point. and it will be very clear to you that you have annoyed him.
bakugo hasn't seen anything before he's seen this dude. things are going to be ironed out straight for this mf when Romi gets his hands on him
he will appear to look even fluffier when he's angry, or even sometimes when he's proud of himself. it's like gravity disappears from his wool. you know how a frightened kitten would puff up its fur? just imagine that with wool
broths and stews. he loves them. also, soups and warm drinks
it goes without saying that his favourite season is winter,, he enjoys autumn very much too 🍂
dont let him go near an oven. or a microwave. not even a toaster— actually, just don't let him go near any cooking appliance. there will be fire.
he can actually play the guitar! he prefers acoustic guitar, but he also has experience on electric :) no feeling in your fingers means no learning barriers, and apparently he took that to heart. unfortunately, a string on the acoustic he has in his room broke while he was playing a couple months ago, and procrastination has stopped him from repairing it and playing. these management students have busy lives...
that being said, it is true— against popular belief— that he is typically messy and unorganised. not so much that he's scrambling for a hold on every aspect of his life, but he does struggle with punctuality and remembering arrangements and events. timed/deadlined assignments are the bane of his being.
he would die for contact. he is very keen for hugs and general human (hah) contact, despite (once again outlining) his tough appearance and low baritone voice. you have not experienced a hug before you've been held by Romi <3
he is stubborn. very headstrong. he rarely wavers from his desires, and is stone-set sure on his dreams. you will need to push him very hard to get him to admit he's wrong. he means well,, but don't break his temper.
HE WOULD DEFINITELY THROW ALL KINDS OF EXPLETIVES IN HIS NATIVE TONGUE WHEN SOMETHING INCONVENIENCES HIM
you hear a loud clatter from the kitchen, and a string of Norwegian curse words are shouted and sworn in vengeance. he caught his tail in a drawer. poor boy
he will do anything for his class. you better watch your back if he hears you criticising one if his classmates. he's not the only person who feels like this in the management course student body. management students together strong.
physically unable to whisper, unless he is relaxed and/or half asleep. he is loud, putting it simply! you could probably hear him from one end of campus to the other if he put his vocal chords to work. (not really, that's an exaggeration lovie—)
he fucking dies in the summer. he shears off most of his wool just before the warm weather starts, leaving some around his neck and upper chest, and cuts it short around his waist. he would never shear his tail. it's a serious once-a-year job, and you best believe he will be depressed for the entire summer if he ends up looking like a rat that had cotton glued to it
no, shearing does not mean going completely naked. it's just shaved down to be short enough to not trap heat, but he would still be soft to the touch.
shorts and tank tops. life savers. he will sometimes break out the sleeved poncho, it's as light as a cape, but it covers almost everything. the sleeves are a bit short for him, since it's typically a feminine article of clothing, but he will forever be grateful for his classmate that suggested it
(he wears ponchos often in the autumn too. the poncho in the first + second images is not the long one i just talked about. maybe we'll see it soon c: )
oh boy. he must have encountered a bakugo
