Mash Burnedead

Mash Burnedead is the main protagonist of the Mashle series and a first-year student at Easton Magic Academy.

He was abandoned when he was a child due to lacking a mark, meaning that he is unable to use magic. Regro Burnedead found him and raised him outside the big city, hiding Mash from society and teaching him self-defense. They lived a peaceful life together, until one day, when Mash goes to the city and a policeman discovers him. After that event, Brad Coleman notices that Mash doesn't have a mark and goes to Mash's house to find him. Once there, Brad hurts Regro and after an "intense" fight with Mash, they accord that Mash will go to the magic school in order to maintain their peaceful life. Mash agrees and, in that process, Mash set his goal to become a Divine Visionary.

Appearance
Mash is of average height and has a muscular build. He has black bowl-cut hair and pale skin with a slight tan. A fake mark made by Brad Coleman was place over his left cheek. When at Easton, he wears the standard school uniform of a white shirt, black trousers, red tie, brown shoes and black cloak. When training, he often wears white shorts, and black under armor. He is often seen wearing a stoic and blank expression on his face.

Personality
Mash is generally a quiet and kind boy, often displaying little to no emotion and sporting a stoic, dispassionate expression regardless of his circumstances. However, if he sees someone hurting his family or friends, he gets incredibly angry.

He is also extremely innocent and obedient, making people abuse those qualities, but thanks to his strength he can twist out of almost every situation. Aside from his outright innocent thought process, he is incredibly blunt as he says things that would be considered rude to others, without a care in the world. He usually combines his bluntness with a sharp sense of wit. He firmly believes in his abilities so much so he downright told the headmaster himself he would "knock the stuffing out of [him]" with his fist. He makes this behavior even more evident throughout his school life, especially his encounter with Carpaccio Luo-Yang, in which he boldly stated that he never met anyone stronger than him with a look of boredom.

But while he is blunt, Mash is open to finding a peaceful solution to conflict. He doesn't particular find fighting stronger opponents very exciting despite his incredible strength as he wishes he could simply live his life without worry and just go home.

Equipment
Iron Wand: Mash's "wand" is an extremely heavy rod. According to a wand shop owner, not in a thousand years has anyone with strength or Magic, been able to lift it. Mash is able to forcibly change the shape of his wand with his incredible strength. The wand is sturdy enough to withstand Mash's inhuman strength and its mass seems to increase depending on the shape it takes.

Wrist Weights: Mash is constantly wearing magic wrist weights to limit his strength. According to his foster father Regro, Mash's muscles went out of control, which is why he told him to never take them off.

Cream Puffs: Mash always carries cream puffs, his favorite food, on his person.

Powers and Abilities
Muscles Magic (マスクルズ 魔法, Masukuruzu Mahō): Mash was born without a mark, so he cannot cast spells, instead, he uses muscle-based techniques to compensate for his lack of magic power. Through his impressive control over his own muscles, Mash is capable of clenching his abdominal muscles to prevent potential blades in his body from being taken out.

The feats he accomplishes with his non-magical techniques are impressive enough to make people believe he's actually using magic. Mash's control over his muscles increased further after his training with Meliadoul, allowing him to perform even greater feats, such as stopping Doom's blade with his ocular muscles, by clenching his eyelids.

 * Weakness Mode (ウイークネス モード, Uīkunesu Mōdo): A "state of perfect lethargy". In this mode, Mash is able to utilize the contraction of his muscle fibers. This allows his body to become as flimsy as paper, making it extremely difficult to hit. It is even able to avoid Doom's attacks at 100% power.

Mash became immensely more powerful after undergoing muscle training in a mindscape guarded by an enigmatic god, who seemingly transferred all the effort to Mash's physical body.

He is able to continue his fight with Domina Blowelive despite having a large piercing wound on his torso, which was inflicted to him by the latter.

Inhuman Reflexes: Mash can react to spells and any other attack at extreme speed. By touching a wall behind him, Mash is able to perceive Margarette Macaron's movements by taking advantage of the fact, that the sound she generates travels faster from the ground to the wall behind him, ultimately allowing him to dodge her attack. According to Kaldo Gehenna, to pull off such a feat would require otherworldly reflexes.

Inhuman Senses: During his fight with Doom, Mash demonstrated his incredible senses as he weighed Doom, and his mirrors clones in order tell which one was real.
