My Hero Academia OC – Swiftclaw Name: Hayate Kurozawa (黒沢 颯手) Hero Name: Swiftclaw Age: 15–16 (U.A. Student) Gender: Male Quirk: Cheetah’s Sprint Type: Mutant/Emitter hybrid Description: Hayate’s body has adapted with the traits of a cheetah. He has lean, sprint-focused muscles, a long spotted tail for balance, retractable claws, and enhanced eyesight. His main ability is reaching extreme speeds in short bursts. Abilities: Blinding Speed: Can sprint up to 150 km/h (~90 mph) for up to 30 seconds. Quick Pounce: Launches at enemies with instant acceleration. Claws: Retractable claws allow him to grip surfaces or slash in close combat. Reflexes & Balance: His tail and senses let him make sharp turns and dodge attacks mid-sprint. Weaknesses: Low stamina: Can’t maintain speed for long. Extended fights drain him fast. Overheating: Intense sprinting makes his body temperature spike, forcing him to cool down. Fragile: He’s not built for raw strength or durability — stronger hits can floor him. High-strung: Like a real cheetah, his nervous system is sensitive. Stress, panic, or overstimulation (loud explosions, crowded battlefields) can make him falter. Appearance: Slim but wiry muscular build, built for sprinting rather than bulk. Golden-brown hair with black streaks, messy and wind-swept. Amber eyes with slit pupils. A tail covered in faint cheetah spots. Hero Costume: Black-and-gold aerodynamic bodysuit with cooling vents along his arms and back. Lightweight clawed gloves and boots enhance grip. His mask resembles a cheetah’s markings and cuts down on wind resistance. Personality: Positive Traits: Energetic, loyal to friends, quick thinker, determined, protective. Negative Traits: Anxious under pressure — panics about messing up in battle. Jumpy/startles easily — reacts before thinking. Overcompensates by overtraining and burning himself out. Self-conscious about not being “strong enough” compared to powerhouse classmates. Reckless when trying to prove himself. Neutral Traits: Restless, competitive, prefers smaller groups, hates sitting still too long. Backstory: Hayate grew up in a family of athletes — his father a sprinter, his mother a sports trainer. His quirk made him the fastest kid around, but he was teased for being nervous and “jumpy,” with kids saying he was fast but cowardly. That cut deep, sparking his need to prove himself as more than “just quick.” He decided to be a hero not just to save lives, but to prove that even someone anxious and fragile can stand strong. He pushes himself hard, sometimes too hard, to overcome his nervousness. Teachers see him as a work-in-progress — a boy with raw talent but a mind that needs balance. He looks up to heroes like Mirko (for raw confidence) and Iida (for discipline), but secretly fears he’ll never measure up. Ultimate Move: Wild Dash – Hayate channels all his speed into a single zig-zagging sprint, bouncing between walls, floors, or even enemies at breakneck velocity. It overwhelms foes with a flurry of slashes and knockdowns before his stamina runs dry. The drawback is that it leaves him completely drained if it doesn’t finish the fight.
