CURRENT IC DEMOGRAPHICS
Saralegui | Kyou Kara Maou!
CANON: Kyou Kara Maou!
AGE/AU AGE: 18
HERO/VILLAIN ALIAS: Aliases are for people who intend to actually be recognized! AKA maybe I'll think of something later if word gets out and he actually needs one. Or people will just call him whatever and he'll be stuck with it, whoops.
OCCUPATION: By day, I'm thinking college student interning for a hero PR company. And by night, villain!
PERSONALITY: On the surface, Saralegui appears pleasant, charming and considerate. He's sociable and charismatic and tries to get along with everyone and maintain a sparkling reputation. Really, he's a manipulative little shit. He's ambitious, too clever for his own good, and deeply pragmatic. He's hyper-cautious when it comes to emotional vulnerabilities, yet delights in taking calculated risks where more straightforward physical dangers are involved. He isn't necessarily "evil", just primarily focused on his own goals and whatever he considers the greatest good to be. His methods are very "ends justify the means" and he's absolutely willing to sacrifice individuals to better serve the majority or just himself.
HISTORY: Saralegui's father was a famous hero back in his day who had a long and successful career before retiring and passing away of natural illness when Saralegui was 15. The man showed no interest in being a father, though, and for the most part just ignored his son and left the child's care to his uncle. His mother, meanwhile, has never been in the picture. As a result, Saralegui grew up feeling distinctly unwanted, and he craves attention and acknowledgement constantly.
Saralegui was a clever kid, though, and realized very early on that his quirk would never let him follow in his father's footsteps to let him surpass the man that way. It was too unsettling a power to be embraced by the general public, and the very public nature of a hero's work would mean that the whole world would figure out very quickly what he could do and how to counter it. So he kept his quirk a secret and played quirkless, aiming his ambitions elsewhere instead. He considered politics for a while but eventually decided to get into hero management and public relations instead.
He primarily uses his quirk to manipulate others, mostly common criminals, into doing his dirty work for him, and he's careful to keep his identity hidden and command anyone he uses to forget him in case they're captured. He maintains a comfortable lifestyle living off these activities and lets others believe he's supporting himself with his inheritance from his father while he works through college and establishes himself in his career. And occasionally, he arranges situations to draw attention to the heroes he's in charge of in his day job, or to subtly raise public opinion of heroes in general when they seem to be flagging a little.
QUIRK: Mind control via eye contact. He can command people to do whatever, place sleeper commands to be activated later, etc. Those with very strong willpower can resist commands that run extremely counter to their nature to some extent, but it takes a hell of a person to actually completely withstand them. However, he needs unimpeded eye contact for the initial command-ing. Even transparent materials will block it out, so it's pretty easy to completely disable him by just covering his eyes somehow or preventing him from taking off his glasses. He knows a quirk like his is a lot more effective if people aren't aware of it and on guard, so he pretends to be quirkless and is very careful when using his ability to keep the nature of it and its weaknesses a secret. As a side-effect of his quirk, his eyes are a very unnatural gold color and sensitive to light, so he usually wears tinted glasses to help hide the color and make light bearable.
COSTUME: He doesn't bother most of the time. But if he's out specifically doing villainous things he'll wear a hood and a mask that won't cover his eyes (think like a half-face ski mask) to help hide his identity.
Re: Saralegui | Kyou Kara Maou!
I remember you being gay in a coffin cause i only saw the anime okOkay so I love this quirk! And great use for his glasses and building on something he can canonically do already. Interestingly enough, Shinsou is a character in the series with a mind control ability and he requires a verbal response to his speech for his quirk to work, so I feel like this falls in a very similar vein so HOW COOL IS THAT
Is this quirk also an emitter quirk or can it happen unintentionally?
Re: Saralegui | Kyou Kara Maou!
but i'm considering this an emitter quirk, no code geass style accidental mind control disasters here thank you very much.

One of them could walk in on the other bein' villainous, or... they could meet and maintain acquaintanceship for quite a while blithely unaware just how terrible the other individual is? Also, please imagine them in college together.

-- and then unexpectedly touching hands one night over some corporate external hard drive with a lot of financials on it like the moment in a dating sim when the romance begins. Only with a brief scuffle while trying to not draw the attention of security.
