Three years of swallowing his pride left one office worker with a plan, a copy of Destro's manifesto, and a Quirk that grows stronger the more humiliated he feels. Teruo Hazukashi took his clothes off in front of the commuting public. Hawks knocked him out before anything else could happen.

Appearance

Nothing about Teruo stands out physically. He is an adult man of ordinary size with short brown hair that spikes upward, and gray eyes.

The outfit he chose for his revenge is the memorable part. He wore a long coat and a pair of knee socks, and nothing whatsoever besides.

Personality

Three years at one company left him carrying real resentment toward it, whether from unfair treatment or simple exhaustion at taking orders. The word he used for himself was bootlicker, and he hated it, calling the life suffocating before declaring it finished.

A copy of Destro's writing on liberation supplied the push. Acting on it meant degrading himself in public, which he was fully prepared to do, since degradation is where his power comes from.

History

His Quirk, Shame, scales his strength to his own embarrassment, and the only method he has for triggering it is stripping bare in front of as many onlookers as possible. That is exactly what he did on the day he announced that his three years were over and his employer was going down with him.

Whatever came next never arrived. Keigo Takami passed through and knocked him unconscious, so the ceiling of the Quirk went unmeasured; it never got the chance to build.
