   Ryuunosuke Aizawa was a man that made his life through the pursuit of criminal ends. He started life as an honest man, but had no intentions of maintaining such a lifestyle after a series of terrible accidents left him struggling to make sense of what had once been a personal utopia. Following the loss of his first wife via infidelity and his personal business going under, he had been offered a place amidst a vast network of illegal means; the Black Market. In order to fund his addiction to extreme Black Market involvement, he had become a terrorist, forming a small band of Quirk-Users that never really adopted a name for themselves. Utilizing his own quirk, he was able to rob, murder and work his way through countless sources of income - all of them illegal in some manner. As his wealth increased, so did his willingness to commit atrocious acts.

   During one of his 'missions' to incapacitate a bank via explosives, a few of his men were swept up in a premature blast that sent a feeling of dread throughout the city. With the loss of his best men, Ryu withdrew and found out that there had been plans of a mutiny to overthrow him. Rather than sit and wait for them to act, he brutally executed all of his men. His actions caught the attention of the authorities when all of the bodies were found throughout the city in random locations.

   Having millions of dollars at his beck and call, Ryuunosuke disappeared from the public eye for a long time. A good while, actually. During this time, he had found himself in other parts of Japan, separated from the major cities and seeking purpose in a life other than crime. He met a woman who had made her living doing factory work. It was a random encounter at the bar that would forever change the way he perceived the world. While the weight of his first wife's infidelity lingered, it did not stop him from pursuing the woman. Eventually, this led to him moving in with her and using his reserves of stolen money to make her a very comfortable lifestyle. However, his willingness to treat her like royalty meant that his money was disappearing faster than he liked.

   Rather than subjecting her to the darker side of himself, he lied to her and mentioned that he had landed a late night job as night security at a plant that dealt with highly volatile chemicals. It was through this front that he acted out once more, this time with what he had convinced himself to be a 'good' reason. His lover was struggling to make ends meet and he felt that they deserved the money more, rather than the people he took it from. It was during this time that Ryuunosuke was swept up into something bigger than himself that pushed him further away from the woman he had come to love. Despite the danger that his involvements put her in, he made certain to see her - and often.

   Nine months after his first encounter with a crime syndicate that operated in the same area, his soon-to-be-wife was pregnant. The news should have pushed him out of a life of crime, but it only served to drive him further into it. He wanted the best for the child and maintained his lies with frightening intensity. Before his daughter was born, Ryuunosuke married the woman. The pregnancy was normal without complications. He made damned certain he was there for the birth of the baby girl, even aiding in the delivery before he was gone again in the following week after his wife had been released. With his absence creating a void and tension, the life of his wife and child started to move in a vastly different direction than he had hoped.

   Everything came together shortly after his daughter's first birthday, when he was apprehended by undercover authorities and sent to jail during a drug sale. This drug, a predecessor to Trigger, was neither as potent nor as stable as its successor. It had terrible side-effects and authorities were doing everything in their power to get it off the street. With his incarceration, he was unable to reach out to his wife or daughter. Time in prison wasn't bright or sunny. He managed to, however, escape being recognized by the local police as the man that had made a living as a terrorist in his 'previous' life. However, it didn't save him from an extended stay. When he was released, things just weren't the same.

   Ryuunosuke was presented with a different, hellish landscape when he was released. No one waited for him at the gate and he was left with what he had come in with. When he sought out his wife and daughter, they were nowhere to be seen. Fortunately (or unfortunately?), when he called her number ... a man answered. It was at this point that he had realized what had happened in the time he had been locked up. He had no idea what to do, becoming completely lost. He began using the remainder of his money to fund methods in which to track down his daughter, and when he did, he spied on her for the first majority of her life and watched her change. He watched the turmoil in the house, the constant hell that had erupted from his absence.

   He made the decision to meet his now ex-wife when she was out and about. Some clever information digging and watching had led him to this point. When he confronted her, a physical altercation broke out between them. It was at this point that he tried to explain what it was that had happened. However, she'd hear none of it and ran from him, leaving him to avoid detection by mall security. He never actually stopped seeing his daughter, who was starting to change during her latter years ..

   Before he had a chance to really sit down and talk with her, both his ex-wife and daughter had disappeared. Completely. There was neither hide nor hair of them left. Their house, the house he had purchased for them, lay dormant and empty where nothing remained for him to find. Now, he felt this might have been his fault, but the desire to be in the life of his child had become overwhelming. It'd be a long time before he saw either of them again...



[V I L L A I N // N A M E]
   Basilisk

[C O S T U M E]
   Typically wore dark clothing, dark overcoat, dark trousers, etc.

[M O T I V A T I O N S]
   Previously he desired to amass money via crime. Now he just wants to find his child again.

[Q U I R K]
   Petrification

[A B I L I T I E S]
   With a glance, he can cause someone to become like stone - incapable of any movement.

[M O V E S]
   There are no actual moves with this. However, he can use a mirror to 'bounce' his quirk off of so long as he is able to see a target.

[W E A K N E S S E S]
   Blinding him renders it null.
   Covering his eyes also destroys the 'connection'.
   It wears him out, but he tries not to use it too often.
   Dry eye is a problem, uses eyedrops to facilitate tears.
   Cannot cry due to his quirk.
   Direct eye contact causes instant petrification, but if the user blinks the effect is ended instantaneously unless the quirk is used again (and, normally, isn’t reused so quickly after the user blinks and ends the previous effects)

[O T H E R // A B I L I T I E S]
   Uses a gun with frightening accuracy.
   Martial artist, extremely limber and flexible as a result.
   Black Market contact -- maintained connections despite being 'done' with the lifestyle.
   Hacker -- can hack ATMs, access bank information and generally utilizes it for fund acquisition.
   Throwing Knives -- well-versed in throwing sharp objects, preferably knives.

[T R I V I A]
   He hasn't seen Aizawa lately. Last he remembers is before the transition.
   Doesn't really know about U.A or anything related to the schools. His Quirk was never 'trained' outside of his own personal adaptations.
   Looks like Aizawa, spitting image almost albeit older and far less 'sleepy'/lazy.
