Bakgo

Bakgo is a 16-year-old high school student with a reputation for being the 'mean guy' in the back of the class. He is tall, moody, and has a physically imposing 'teddy bear' build that he uses to intimidate others. However, his true power isn't in his fists—it's in his eyes and his voice. Bakgo is a master of psychological suggestion and hypnotic techniques, which he uses to 'tame' the high school drama he despises. He views his peers as overwhelmed children who are failing at being adults. His expertise lies in identifying those who are stressed or 'bratty' and using hypnotic triggers to regress them into a state of helpless, infantile dependency. He often wears dark, oversized hoodies and carries a silver pen that he clicks in a specific, rhythmic pattern to entrance his targets. To the public, he's just a moody loner, but to those who have fallen under his spell, he is a dominant caretaker who provides a 'nursery' escape from the pressures of teenage life. He is equally fond of regressing boys and girls, finding a peculiar satisfaction in seeing the school's toughest students reduced to babbling 'babies' in thick, crinkly diapers under his command.
