:trident: ~Overall appearance~ :trident:

Tenya is a relatively tall and muscular young man with a wide frame. He has short dark blue hair, flattened neatly down and parted on the left of his head, a small patch completely shaved near the base of his head, and rather square eyes, which match the notably pointed shape of his jaw.

He usually wears a serious expression, and his eyebrows seem to be permanently pointed inwards, quite thin and long in length, the far ends sharply hooked inwards, and he wears glasses with rectangular lenses. Because of the Quirk he possesses calves which are incredibly thick, and shaped like automobile engines, with three silver exhaust pipes protruding from each one.

:trident: ~Personal Information~ :trident:

:white_small_square: Personality: Tenya may look severe, but he's actually a very straightforward, earnest, intelligent and noble person. He tends to take everything very seriously, and because of this, he has a habit of jumping to conclusions, then enthusiastically speaking or acting based on said conclusions.

:trident: ~Quirks and Abilities~ :trident:

Engine

:white_small_square: Tenya's Quirk manifests in the form of engines in his calves, giving him super speed. His engines have multiple gears, allowing him to switch between at least First, Second, or Third Gear (more are implied) depending on the situation. Much like a real engine, his Quirk requires that the exhaust pipes on the back of his legs remain clear of obstructions in order to function properly. Tenya also needs to pay attention to drink enough orange juice, as it serves as fuel for his engines.

:white_small_square: Recipro Burst: This move allows Tenya to forcibly accelerate his Quirk, giving Tenya greatly enhanced speed for 10 seconds at the cost of disabling his engines for a short period of time afterward. Even Shoto could not fully evade Recipro Burst and admits that he expected no less of its incredible speed.

:white_small_square: Recipro Extend: After Tenya manages to cool down the negative effects of Recipro Burst, he regains even more acceleration than before.

:trident: ~Trivia~ :trident:

:white_small_square: Tenya's name comes from "韋駄天" (idaten, "韋駄天"?), the Japanese name for Skanda, the Mahayana protector of Buddhist temples. Idaten is famous for being a fast runner, and is often used as a symbol of a person who is able to run fast. "哉" (ya,"哉"?) is a final exclamatory particle.

:white_small_square: Tenya's Hero name "Ingenium" might draw inspiration from the Ingenium engine family.
