Makomborero Gwisai, also known by his superhero name Boneyard and affectionately called Mark by his friends, is a Zimbabwean superhero and a student of the Mutiara Academy who attended the school on a scholarship.
Design
Makomborero is a Shona man with very dark skin and a bald head. He is tall and muscular, being described as a giant by different characters and looks considerably older than he actually is. He wears his uniform shirt with its buttons undone, revealing colourful t-shirts underneath.
Personality
Mark is a man of few expressions and fewer words, which only adds to his intimidating image. Despite his outward appearances, however, he is a gentle, kind, and caring individual with a soft spot for animals. His caring and protective nature is what motivates him to study to become a superhero, and explains the earliest manifestation of his powers - an armoured gauntlet of bone he uses to block attacks and keep himself and others away from harm.
He is also considerably patient and forgiving, not harbouring any grudges or ill will towards those who bullied or misunderstood him.

Mary
While they are assigned classmates since the first day of school and have known each other since, it was not until they met at church that they had a meaningful conversation. She asked about him, his family, and his home country, to which he happily shared with her, showing her his smile for the first time. Unlike many other characters, Mary never reacted to his appearance in fear, and told him that he should smile more often to make himself look "less scary" to others. He chuckled in reaction.
Tactics
Boneyard is a typical tank with high defence, which can be further boosted with skills. Because of his simplistic moveset and brute force playstyle, he is essentially a bigger, male Diamond with less micromanaging or reliance on Qi, making him an easier character to play as for beginners.

Creation and Conception
RMD was impressed by the stone structures of pre-colonial Zimbabwe and inspired to create a Zimbabwean character who controlled stone and was capable of essentially turning himself into a living castle. This idea was scrapped in favour of an African character who had a special connection to animals, and watching the anime Bleach and seeing Yasutora Sado (Chad) and the Arrancar of the franchise inspired the creation of Boneyard's current iteration.
Trivia
- The design of his mask does not correspond to a particular culture from Zimbabwe and is completely fictional.
