Character Profile
[The Basics]
Name: Eriq Sleptner
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Body type: At 6'3", Sleptner is remarkably tall and not much more than skin and bone.
Eyes: If you're close enough to see his eyes, the sclera of both are unnaturally white, and the iris of his right eye seems to glow bright blue. His left eye is far more unsettling, with six smaller pupils arranged in a circle around a larger central pupil. The irises are overlapping steel gray panels, much like the shutter of a camera, and they all expand and contract independently. But don't worry, he's very rarely out in public without some kind of eyewear.
Hair: Short, black, typically styled in a coif.
Birthday: November 25
Other important traits:
[Background]
Preferred outfits: Hot Topic Mall Goth, Ninja Chic
Family background: He's from a Ninja Village, and that's about all we know.
General history: [Speed of Sound Sonic on the One Punch Man Wiki]
Schooling: Ninja School, likely graduated at the top of his class
Special abilities:
*Sonic Speed - Sonic's main ability is his extreme speed. His movements are often accompanied by thunderwaves, especially when he first takes off. Although Genos has gone toe to toe with Sonic's speed, there's a very strong possibility this was only because Sonic wasn't taking him seriously as an opponent. Only Saitama has shown to be able to unquestionably keep up with and surpass his speed.
*Enhanced Strength - Despite his frail appearance, Sonic's power doesn't only lie in his speed. He also has superhuman levels of strength, being capable of dislocating a man's shoulder simply by walking into him.
*Enhanced Durability - In addition to his speed and strength, he is capable taking of large amounts of punishment as shown when Sonic fought the Sea King.
*Stealth - When confronting Hammerhead, Sonic first emerges from a shadow as though materializing from smoke. It is unknown if this is merely an illusion, or some form of tricky ninja magic.
Talents and skills:
*Lock picking - While in prison, security guards monitoring him comment about his ability to escape handcuffs in the blink of an eye.
*Wind Blade Kick - Sonic throws himself at his foe and does a front flip, during which he throws his foot out to kick his opponent using the momentum of the flip.
*Hail Of Carnage - Sonic leaps into the air and throws his shuriken indiscriminately, causing massive amounts of damage to the surrounding area.
*Substitution Technique - Utilizing his immense speed, Sonic is able to avoid hits and escape dangerous situations by substituting himself with a nearby object.
*Four Shadows Burial - Sonic creates four identical afterimages through a special movement technique.
*Scattered Flash Slash - Used in a combo with the Four Shadows Burial, the four afterimages surround (and possibly attack) the target at the same time with the ninjato.
*Ten Shadows Burial - Similar to Four Shadows Burial, but with ten identical afterimages in total.
[Characteristics]
IQ: approx.; if you don't know how much about IQ, just state his/her intelligence
EQ: "emotional quotient," which is measured like IQ—People with high EQs have good social skills and read people well. They are also more optimistic and have high self-esteem. The higher a character's EQ is, the more other characters (and generally readers) are likely to like him/her. See the artist's description for more info.
General personality:
*Prideful - Upon meeting Saitama, Sonic states that he spent his whole life training to be the best. He frequently refers to himself as the ultimate ninja, and frequently compares other people's abilties, such as when he watches Puri Puri Prisoner and the Sea King battle. Then, he notes that both are powerful combatants, but because they rely so heavily on brute strength, it would be quite easy for him to defeat them in battle. While he is shown to be quite competant and skillful, having easily defeated the criminal Hammerhead and his followers, his pride tends to blind him, resulting in fairly poor judgement. This backfires most notably against Saitama, resulting in a painful, humiliating defeat, but more poignant was his underestimation of Genos. Although he ultimately claimed victory (by nature of Saitama stepping in to save Genos before he could strike the killing blow), he spends most of the match trying to out-race Genos, only to lose his ponytail to the cyborg. This strikes a powerful blow to his pride, potentially due to a sense of vanity, but more likely due to the fact that his speed is his strongest pride point, and Genos essentially just out-maneuvered him.
On the subject of vanity, oh boy, does Sonic sure love to show off. Never mind the fact that his choice of battle gear is a skintight catsuit with plates of metal strapped to it, Sonic doesn't make an entrance if he can't make it dramatically. Whether it's materializing from behind a pillar in a plume of smoke
*Dissatisfaction and Battlelust - While Sonic is most well known for his manic "child-like" smile, however, his natural expression can be better described as "resting bitch face." When Sonic is first introduced, he is seen sitting in a window sill, looking sullen and bored. He begins to perk up at the prospect of a challenging fight, but when he realizes that Hammerhead isn't the challenge he was hoping for, he sighs in resignation and his smile loses its edge. By the end of the confrontation, it's completely disappeared. Saitama is able to draw his signature "child-like" smile out by deflecting Sonic's techniques, however, the encounter is cut short, and the next time he runs into Saitama, his expression has returned to its neutral position. Additionally, when in prison, Sonic's expression remains neutral until he begins to scoff at the other prisoners' attempts to intimidate him. While it's possible that he does simply have resting bitch face, when you consider that he is rated as an S Class Criminal, and tied in with his prideful boasting about being the best, it's equally likely that he experiences the same sort of ennui as Saitama, although to a much lesser extent.
*Disdainful towards Others -
*Perfectionist - In his self introduction, he declares himself to be a perfectionist, and that he never leaves
*Childish - When Saitama refuses to fight him, he immediately throws a temper tantrum, wrecking havoc and causing a ruckus just so that Saitama would fight him.
*Sadist -
MBTI: ISTP
Maturity: or psychological age
Relationship status: Although Sonic is highly sexualized in canon as well as fandom, it's hard to picture him interested in pursuing a relationship due to his prideful and disdainful nature. Only the best are likely to be worthy of his attention, and due to his immediate dismissal of Genos, reputation isn't enough for him. However, Saitama has certainly caught his attention, he is likely demisexual.
Social standing: Loner
Philosophy/Values: What is most important to your character? How does this affect his/her perception of the world?
[Misc.]
Quirks and mannerisms: Often these make characters more memorable and realistic. (eg. she twists a lock of hair around her little finger when she thinks, he stammers when he's confused) If someone is in love with this character, he/she may lovingly notice these mannerisms.
Misc. Views: Record any views mentioned here. (e.g. she is a Republican and a Protestant, or he believes that everyone who likes chocolate ice cream is an idiot) Go ahead and be specific. This will record what your memory might lose. I recommend chapter citations, too, in case you want to see where you found something.
Minor Notes: If she says she doesn't like vanilla ice cream in chapter 2, she shouldn't be eating some in chapter 5.
