Shazoto Touge

Shazoto Touge (pronounced as Shaz-auto) is the head of team STOE. Shazoto represents the colors Gold and red, as they appear often in the Drifting and Touge racing scenes in Japan. He weilds a Jet-Railgun called the Blazing Hellfire. Despite his less-than-sane attitude, he accepts anyone for who they are, not what.

Appearance
Shazoto is a tall male with mainly longer Black hair with a blue and red streak in the bangs. He has a scar that covers part of his face and neck from training before attending Beacon.

Shaz wears a dark red hooded trench coat with gold buttons, and goes down to his quads. His emblem is underneath his shoulder loops as well as his weapon that rests on his back. Underneath his Trench, Shaz wears a pale gold shirt with black and red accents, with the emblem on the back of the shirt.

Shazoto tends to wear cargo pants as it allows him to store fire dust ammunition for his weapon. They are black with a gold belt. From time to time, he will wear some sweatpants because of their comfort.

Personality
Shazoto is a social person compared to the rest of the team, and isn't afraid to speak his mind. He doesn't mind getting into conversations with anyone, even if they end up being his rival at some point. Some will say he's sympathetic to others as he understands in most cases, and can give logical advise to at least try to help. It hasn't worked every time because he's made things worse on occasion.

His teammates see him as a "teddy bear" due to his kindness to some, and savagery to others. This is mainly due to the fact that Shaz can be short tempered when either tired, or provoked into being such. Sometimes it escalates to the point where he'll pull out Blazing Hellfire, and one of his teammates (Mostly Ebony Velvatinus) has to get him away.

To get his mind off of it, he trains in one of two ways: Combat, and Solo training. In the former, he takes his mind off of just about everything except for the safety of his teammates, and the task in hand. He's a very focused combatant, and doesn't allow anything to get in his way. The latter on the other hand, allows him to get his mind off of everything while improving his strength; both physically and mentally.

Weapons and Abilities
Shaz's weapon, known as Blazing Hellfire, is a quad-barreled Railgun that transforms into dual Jet turbines. The entirety is powered primarily by Fire dust-amplified magnetic rail system for the rail gun mode, and Ice dust for the jet turbines to act as intercoolers (like a turbocharged car will need one to prevent overheating). The total system weighs over 250 pounds, and has a lengthy transformation cycle.

In Railgun mode, all four barrels will fire at once, sending fire-dust core ammunition to the intended target at up to 3km. This is mainy used in similar fashion to the Barrett M99 Single shot, bolt action sniper rifle as a long range, high powered precision sniper. Also like the Barrett, the railgin needs to be reloaded after each shot, taking between 20 and 30 seconds for four rounds, and the 5 second charge time before firing on a hair trigger.

In Jetgun mode, the barrels are sealed off, and the side vents form 36' diameter turbines. This setup is very often used from the hip, as it lures Grimm into carbon-titanium blades, and like a real jet turbine, shred the victim into pieces. Black steam will seep out of the back of the turbine after a successful kill. The Jetgun form is strictly used against Grimm as this form is too dangerous against people.

Shazoto's Semblance is referred to as "Third Eye," which allows him to sense all creatures within a 100 foot hemisphere of himself. He says he can tell people and Grimm apart from how he perceives them; the former he claims to have a warm feeling, while the latter being a felling of either emptyness or sorrow. The downside is that he needs lots of concentration, and a clear mind, so he can't allow himself to get distracted.

Shaz also has some experience on Mixed Martial Arts, giving him some versatility in combat. He hones his skills with his partner Ebony as she is more accustomed to getting her hands dirty. It is obvious though that he still needs some training in his non-weapon combat.
