Quirk Name: Crashproof

Type: Mutant

Range: Contact

User: Ryutaro Kabe

Hero Alias: Crash Course Hero: Nitrohead

Description: Because of this quirk, various parts of Ryutaro's skin are covered in large, scale-like grey plating. These plates are featured on almost every part of his body except for his face (not including the forehead), stomach and abdomen, and cover a separate layer of thick, protective flesh tissue that, together with the plates, serve to act as armor and have similar mechanisms to a bike helmet. As such, when physical force comes in context with his body, the force is entirely spread out over the surface of his skin and nullified, protecting him from blunt force trauma. Together with the naturally high durability of the plates and his flesh themselves, he is nearly immune to any sort of physical attacks.

For obvious reasons, there are tiny gaps inbetween Ryutaro's plating in which tiny air pockets form. The shape of his armor and functionality of his skin is specifically adapted to use these air pockets to his advantage by allowing him to tense his skin, which close these pockets off and release a burst of propulsion which launches him forward and turns him into a human projectile, destroying everything in his way while ending up without a scratch on him.

Notable about Ryutaro's plating is that the individual plates located on his head, shoulders, knuckles and knees are somewhat thicker and rounder to compensate for the smaller amount of space they cover, causing them to be worse at relocating impact force. This allows them to be weaponized by increasing the pain of being hit by his tackles, punches and headbutts. This synergizes extremely well with his launch ability by making up for his strength, which isn't superhuman.

Techniques:

Nitro Assault Head: Ryutaro grabs his opponent by the neck and assaults them with various headbutts and finishing with a final headbutt that launches them backwards.

Power Head Ram: Ryutaro performs a launching headbutt at close range and tackles them into a nearby wall, often followed up with more headbutts.

Thunderbolt Head: Ryutaro jumps high into the air and launches himself straight downward, smashing headfirst into whatever might be below him.

Ultimate Killer Head: Ryutaro launches himself forward at great speed and takes on a perfectly straight posture as he hits his target straight in the chest with a headbutt, launching them a great distance while stopping himself dead in his tracks.

Weaknesses: Most of this quirk's weakness comes from it's user own strength. Outside of dashing, Ryutaro is no more than a human shield, and actually hurting someone requires him to fling himself forward, which will make his attacks more easily incapacitating, but also comes at the cost of every attack literally being either hit or miss.
