True Man

MHA RP. semi selective. semi-active.

[truexman]

This is a semi to low active (for now) rp account for Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi from BNHA / BNHA Vigilantes written by Fabgen. [Mobile friendly in depth about] [Mobile friends rules][Headcanons here]

--

Nao’s quirk has never been officially confirmed either in the show or in the manga. There have been hints (via Makoto's quirk && something All for One said) but nothing has ever been officially stated so I have decided to give him one.

A quick run down (more info can be found in headcanons): His quirk is heavily based on headcanon as a truth telling quirk. He can tell when the people around him are telling the truth or telling a lie and cannot turn it off. His quirk is not widely known. Listening to lies gives him a headache. Lying himself, makes him almost physically ill.

He’s close friends to the likes of All Might, Fat Gum, Eraserhead and others.

He forgot his own birthday---

"Thank you, Tsukauchi-san."

Even though it's really not been that long since they first met, Shouta thinks he understands Tsukauchi a little better than he used to. His first impression of the man wasn't entirely positive or negative - he'd thought of him, honestly, as just another officer, not putting too much effort into looking deeper, since he wasn't expecting to get to know him in particular.

But they've spent a surprising amount of time together now, and at some point, Tsukauchi became a more familiar figure in his life. Not necessarily a constant, and Shouta doesn't know if they'll stay in contact at all after everything's over... but at the very least, he finds he's become more curious about him as a person, looking at him almost in a different light to before.

Though to be fair, that's been the case with a lot of people, lately. As strange as it is to think, that kid - Koichi, and the rest of them... have done a lot to change his thinking in a short amount of time...

"Oh, and that guy with you... the scrawny-looking one? Is he okay? He seemed to vanish pretty quickly after everything..."

@truexman ( starter! )

[truexman]

"I don't know why you're thanking me. You and Captain Celebrity, and the other heroes protecting the Egg until All Might showed up did the bulk of the work. I should be thanking you. So thank-you." He pointed out, even offering the underground hero a small, polite bow.

There weren't many heroes he enjoyed working with. There were few he actively avoided unless he absolutely had to involve them, but of the few he did like to work with, like Fat Gum and All Might, Manual, Midnight-- He could count Aizawa among them now. Especially on the most recent case. Their small team had worked closely on getting the intel that led them to the factory and Aizawa had been a good sport when it came to the disguises.

"Ah-- yeah, Toshinori--" He rubbed the back of his head. He'd helped the blond sneak off earlier after he dispatched the second wave of bomber creatures. He'd been reluctant to leave, because, what if, but Nao gave him his best reassurance that they had the rest covered.

"He's All Might's secretary, so he headed back to the office instead of sticking around. Hopefully to get a start on the paperwork--" Though Nao was the one who did his paperwork as of late so that was doubtful.

[truexman]

"I didn't think this was going to be this spicy--"

[herostoried]

"Eh? Ah... not really, I guess?"

Koichi second-guesses himself at Naomasa's reaction a bit, wondering if it really had been all that shocking after all. He'd been surprised to learn the two were related, sure, but... they do kind of look alike. There wasn't anything out of place about the idea that Makoto had a sibling. So it's probably more like...

"Just- it's a small world, right? I didn't think that two of the people I happened to meet would be connected." Though he hasn't put too much thought into it, either. Maybe it was bound to happen at some point. "Plus, your attitudes are pretty different too. I mean, you're kind of..."

...More of a stickler for the rules, is what he'd been about to say, but Koichi stops himself just before the words leave his mouth.

"Uhh, more in touch with the law! I guess." ...Yikes - what a horrible save! Maybe Naomasa wouldn't have minded his comment at all, even, but it still feels stupid to keep bringing attention back to their differences in ideology, no matter how indirectly... And calling Makoto a law-breaker in contrast wasn't his wisest idea either. He's sure that Naomasa must already know that, considering how they're related, but still.

"...Well, she's looking after Pop right now, isn't she? I wasn't expecting to see her again so soon, but..." It's nice. He just wishes it could've been in better circumstances. "I wonder when she decided to come back?"

[truexman]

"In touch with the law. Mhmm."

A nicer way of saying he was a killjoy, as his sister put it. Or uptight, according to his old partner. He wasn't as fun as a lot of other people and he was okay with that. He was happy with who he was and the work he did and if other people saw him as a little bit of a stickler for the rules, that was fine.

"My sister learned early on what she could get away with and she takes full advantage of it when she can." She knew the boundaries but also knew that if she did go a little too far, he wouldn't be upset with her for very long. She was his only living relative left, so he'd look the other way here and there if it was for her though he'd deny it as much possible if asked.

"As for Miss Kazuho, I've given Makoto my promise that she'll be taken care of after you and her leave." He even let Makoto use her quirk on him, despite his own not letting him lie. The girl was victim, more than she was a perpetrator and Naomasa wasn't going to let her be prosecuted for something she had no control over.

"I may not be as well liked as my sister, but I do have a better reach within the system to make sure she's kept safe and no one bothers her after what happened."

"Ha! Think of it more like an experiment."

There's no shame in Six's voice as he casually talks about the attack he initiated - one that could've easily killed tens of thousands of people. Instead, he fires back a cocky smile like it's no big deal at all. ...There's really no need to tell Tsukauchi anything, of course, but... Six hates the idea that he might be thinking that they'd managed to beat him at his best. Besides, what's more important isn't the method. He's not trying to be more grand or showy than anyone else - it's what he stands to gain from it that matters.

"You're overthinking it, detective. If it had actually succeeded, sure, that'd be impressive, but that's not what I care about." He expresses, wondering if Tsukauchi will even get the point. With his quirk, he should be able to tell that Six's words are genuine - but he's not trying to hide that fact, so he really couldn't care less. If anything, getting the chance to openly like this is even kind of fun.

"Not every villain's just trying to take out as many lives they can, like it's some sort of competition." Six leans forward a little in his seat. His gaze is almost too intense, even with that lazy smile he wears...

"That sort of thing doesn't interest me, you know?" Then, the smile drops once more. "Not much of a point to it."

[truexman]

He's actually surprised, head tilted as his quirk filters what the villain is saying and reads it as truth. The man wasn't even trying to hide it like many others and he flicks a look towards the camera. Either he was just a really honest villain, or he had an idea of what Tsukauchi's quirk was. He was quick to assume the first, as he kept his quirk close to the belt. It was his trump card in most cases. This one finding out what it was would raise even more questions and concerns than the ones he already had.

"You seem like the type that would be into that." Naomasa points out, crossing his arms as he sat back in his own chair. "Getting the highest body count? Gloating it over the heads of other villains like an achievement or a goal for them to strive for? Getting the attention everyone else seems to seek."

His eyes narrowed a little in thought. "If that's not your thing, then what is? What's the goal you're aiming for, if it's not points on a scoreboard. I assume it's not money." Tanuma had pointed that out when the cases first started gracing their desks. Not interested in money. More like experimenting to see what they could do and how far they could go with something.

[herostoried]

"Ahaha..." Koichi chuckles awkwardly at that, not knowing how seriously to take the comment, exactly - or how he expects him to respond.

Because when it comes to the law... maybe it's bad, but Koichi doesn't really feel bad about breaking it. He doesn't regret it, either. People generally think of him as a bit of a pushover - and, okay, he kind of gets why they might think that - but while he understands the reason for the laws against vigilantes in theory, those reasons have never been enough to convince him to stop. Even before he met Master, he wasn't exactly an entirely law-abiding citizen. Because- if there were ways to help people right in front of his eyes... why wouldn't he take them?

And if he hadn't, what might be different now? Actually... that's something he hasn't really thought about before.

"This definitely isn't the first time she's saved me." Koichi confesses freely, not dwelling on the thought for now. "She's a really smart lady, you know!" Though of course, she's Naomasa's sister, so he must already know that. Speaking of which-

"I never would've guessed that you were related, though."

[truexman]

"I know she is."

His sister was a lot of things. Tenacious. Confident. Smart, of course She was a remarkable person. On the other hand, she was also very pushy, very outspoken and she had a tendency not to let things go until she got her way, even if she was in the wrong or if it skirted the law she knew her brother was trying hard to uphold.

He was very proud of her and the things she'd gone on to do, even if a lot of it ended up annoying him in the end.

"Is it that surprising that we're related?" Sure, he wasn't as easy going or laid back. Nor did he skirt around the rules as much as she liked to, but they had similar work ethics. He liked to think they at least looked a little alike.

"She is about ten years younger."

the path of a hero.

“ this is my duty. this is what i was made for. ”

“ indestructible is just another word for ‘see if you can find my flaw’.”

“ i wanna be brave. ”

“ i’m going to handle this, leave it to me. ”

“ see, this is the part where the hero usually comes in. ”

“ leave it to me. ”

“ get yourselves out of here, i’ll distract them !”

“ you need to listen to me. my every command. ”

“ if i tell you to run, you run. you run and you never look back. ”

“ what are you — doing — ”

“ you need to trust me on this one. ”

“ (name), if you had a chance to redo anything in your life… what would it be? ”

“ you lied ! you’re no hero ! you’re a heartless, selfish killer! ”

“ i never believed in heroes, because they never made sense to me. ”

“ heroes are a waste of time and breath. ”

“ you’re no hero. ”

“ you’ll know a hero the day you see one. ”

“ why do you keep calling me that? a hero? i don’t even know what that means. ”

“ either you live lo— no wait, that makes no sense. ”

“ your plan makes no sense !”

“  i wanted… to protect them… to protect you… ”

“ what made you do this !? ”

“ it’s my turn now. my turn to be the hero. ”

“ you can’t — no ! wait ! you can’t do that ! ”

Vigilantes Chapter 55 | This Is a Hero!!

[gcddamntragedies]

Those same blue eyes follow the path of hands as they sift through the paperwork in waiting. A mind scans through all the events of today; the crash near the local mart, a theft at the mall, the other theft, the robbery, the other.... Yagi pauses to take a slow breath in. A pause to enjoy the stretch and then exhales slowly. He knows he's handed over everything of note done in the name of heroism, but there's always that hesitation. Toshinori knows what it is. He doesn't feel as though it's enough. It's never enough. So many people still need his help, his protection in this world and he feels it in the very core of his being. "It is everything," He pauses noticeably. "So far. The night is still young!" The blonde releases a small laugh to try and release his own sticky tension when a head bows forward to look at the floor between booted feet.

"That's true. It's not quite that late yet." But with how often All Might was helping....everyone, Naomasa was suspecting it was going to be a late night for both of them. He'd probably either crash on his couch for the night or take his work home if more reports needed to be filled out.

"You're taking proper breaks though, right?" Naomasa looked up from the reports that needed to be properly filled out and filed to give the blond a once over. Concern graced his features as he let out a sigh. "Not pushing yourself too hard to be everywhere?"
