Yosetsu Awase

Yosetsu Awase, also known as Welder (ウェルダー), is a student in Class 1-B at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

Appearance
Yosetsu has long black hair, spiked upwards and backwards to his left, and rounded gray eyes, tilted inwards. He wears a wide, patterned headband around his forehead, pulled down quite low, to keep his hair out of his eyes.

His hero costume, he wears a baggy, full body suit, its collar passing his chin. He wears shoulder pads, and he has a bag on his belt in which he keeps various items, including metal and blocks of wood to aid with the use of his Quirk. He switches out his usual zig-zagged headband for a striped one.

Personality
Although he is not talkative, Yosetsu is foul-mouthed and tense. However, in serious or life-or death situations he is very easily startled and becomes much more talkative, although he is still foul-mouthed.

Yosetsu is very selfless, as he continues to carry Momo Yaoyorozu with him even though the Chainsaw Nomu is catching up with him, refusing to leave her behind despite her slowing him down. He is also willing to put himself in danger to fulfill a plan, despite showing fear.

He is also said to be very proud of his Quirk and confident in his abilities with it.

Abilities
Overall Abilities: Yosetsu has proven himself to be a very competent combatant, as abilities earned him 10th place in the U.A. Entrance Exam, having the third highest of amount of villain points. He has also demonstrated the excellent handling he has on his Quirk, Weld, a Quirk that functions better as a restraining tool, giving Yosetsu a way to incapacitate enemies by harmlessly binding them to nearby structures. Yosetsu can fuse his own body parts with those of other people, facilitating their transport in case they become unable to move. Yosetsu also possesses stealth capabilities, successfully hiding from his opponents view before surprising them with his Quirk abilities. He was not only successful in discreetly attaching a tracking device, created by Momo Yaoyorozu, onto the Chainsaw Nomu, but was also capable of effectively ambushing and restraining Katsuki Bakugo, one of the strongest students in Class 1-A.

Quirk
Weld (溶接): Yosetsu's Quirk gives him the ability to fuse objects together at the atomic level. However, the Quirk will not work unless he touches both objects.

Super Moves

 * Construction-Done-Kwik: Weldcraft (早業着工 ウェルドクラフト): Yosetsu swiftly binds an opponent to a structure by interconnecting them with metallic logs. First used to detain Katsuki during the Joint Training Arc, but was countered by Rikido's Sugar Rush Quirk.

Equipment
Steel Logs: Yosetsu's hero costume comes equipped with a set of small steel logs that facilitate his binding abilities. Those logs allow him to connect two different targets without having to touch both of them at the same time (Yosetsu can fuse each end of a log to separate targets, bridging them together).

Shields: Yosetsu possesses a number of shields that he attaches to his body, effectively turning them into armor for defense.
