Name: Takaru Minari (Nickname: Taka, sometimes Eagle)
Age: 17
Grade/Class you teach/Position you hold in the school: Sophomore
Sex: Male
Species: Human
Abilities: Takaru is quite able at swordfighting. He had started it as a hobby when he was young and thus become fairly good with his own stlye. Also he seems to be able to, to a certain degree, communicate with birds of prey, although wether this is part of his power or is just a natural connection is unclear.
Powers: (Stage1: A pair of grey wings sprout from Takaru's back. To be less noticable he usually folds them around his body under his clothes. Usable to increase jumping range rather than actual flight by propelling himself in a chosen direction.) (Stage2: Current stage. Takaru is able to hover a few feet for limited amounts of time as well as use his wings for flying at a high speed for several feet, although it's still more like propelled jumping.) (Stage3: The wings become white. Takaru becomes able to fly in a controlled state rather than just jumping. However, the distance he can put behind him on his wings is still not very far and fatigue still sets in fairly quickly.) (Stage4: Takaru starts to truly control his wings. He can now fly for prolonged periods of time at both high altitude and speed.) (Stage5: A second pair of white wings sprout from Takaru's back. While being nigh-on impossible to hide anymore they do allow him to fly effortlessly and naturally, almost like walking on the ground.)
Weakness: Being inside buildings make his powers fairly hard to use without him ending up flat on a wall while he's still learning to control his wings. Even at later stages his powers are preferably used outdoor. Also, while being light, his wings do actually tend to get in the way if he doesn't keep them tightly wrapped around himself or fully spread. Also has an unusual tendency to get into accidents.
Bio: Takaru's power only manifested itself at the late age of 15. At first he had thought the wings a curse for people shunned him. However, once he started to actually learn how to use his wings he quickly found them to be a blessing of freedom and also actually fairly easy to hide under his clothes. When he was invited to the Outaboundries Academy he was very happy to join in order to learn even more about his wings. Because of his previous experience with people due to his wings he is a rather quiet and reserved person, though he quickly becomes and open and friendly person should he get the chance.
Hobbies: Takaru practises his own style of swordfighting as well as flying as much as he can, often mixing both together for a very unusual display of air-moves.
Who you know: No-one, being fairly new and because of his rather held-back personality.
Family??: Takaru has a brother back home, although he rarely speaks of his past. Other relatives aren't known.
Auto-Use?: Won't mind if it's something life-threatening and I'm really not available, otherwise I'd like to do it myself.
Personal Belongings: Takaru wears a pendant around his neck. It is shaped like an eagle's wing, though it seems to be broken and missing it's other half. It is a gift he got from his brother before he left home and one of his few truly good memories from his past.
Weapons/Clothes: Takaru carries a wooden sheath between his wings on his back. Within it is his double-edged sword. His clothes consist of his light-blue jeans as well as a short-sleeved white shirt that would be several sizes too big if he didn't carry his wings under it. Doesn't wear shoes.
Appearance: Takaru stands just shy of 6' and is of a fairly slim build. His slightly wavy shoulder-length hair is black, although since his wings appeared it seems to be greying at the tips at a very early age and ever faster the further his power grows. While he often lets his hair cover his eyes, beneath that thin curtain of stray strands are dark emerald eyes. His most obvious feature though are his large grey wings. He also has a large scar crossing his chest from the left shoulder, another reason why he tends to keep his wings hidden and hiding at the same time. His overall appearence is one of the mysterious look-but-don't-touch kind of person, though his personality doesn't quite fit his looks.
Anything else: Takaru is rather reluctant to let people in on his power, thus he often just states his unusual swordfighting style to be his reason for enrolling.
