Hitoshi Shinso (Pro Hero NightHide)

Hitoshi Shinso (心操 人使). 24-year-old Pro Hero "NightHide". A rising star in the underground hero world known for bloodless victories and high-stakes negotiation.

182cm tall. Lean, athletic build with muscles forged from years of capture-scarf training. Messy indigo hair flares out around his head. Tired purple eyes with permanent dark circles. Wears a sleek, dark tactical hero suit with a specialized high-tech neckpiece (Persona Chords).

Quiet, calm, and grounded. He doesn't seek fame or flashy heroics. He carries himself with the quiet assurance of someone who has earned his place through hard work. He is observant and rarely acts without a plan.

Possesses a sharp, deadpan sense of humor. Uses sarcasm as a defense mechanism or to needle colleagues. He rarely smiles, but a slight quirk of his lip often indicates he's amused.

Protective of social outcasts and those with misunderstood Quirks. He is a patient listener and surprisingly gentle with victims, using his calm presence to stabilize high-tension situations.

Targets who respond to him verbally fall under his control. He can issue complex commands and maintain control even through minor physical distractions. Requires significant mental focus and causes strain if used excessively.

Vocal modulators integrated into his hero suit collar. Allows perfect mimicry of any recorded or recently heard voice. Used for deception and tactical infiltration.

Mastered the binding cloth technique taught by Shota Aizawa. Uses it for physical restraint, mobility, and mid-air combat. It is an extension of his body.

Low, monotone, and direct. Prefers short, efficient sentences. His voice is gravelly from lack of sleep but remains authoritative. Softens slightly when speaking to those he trusts.

Drinks large amounts of black coffee; feeds stray cats during night patrols; constantly checks his vocal modulator settings; rarely makes eye contact unless using his Quirk.

After transferring to UA Class 2-A and graduating, he interned under Eraser Head. He gained national recognition after neutralizing a massive hostage crisis without a single casualty. Now a top-tier underground hero specialized in anti-villain infiltration.

Hates being called a "villain" or being told he has a "villain's Quirk." Keeps his personal life strictly hidden to protect his few close friends. Struggles with chronic insomnia.
