(Nothing is simple with me. Do you get it now?)
- Name: Ayumu Tanaka (亜有夢 田中)
- Age: 17
- Gender: Male
- Personality: A despondent youth whose overall outlook on life is boorish, Ayumu is often perceived as a dark, mysterious rogue. He is far from someone’s “knight in shining armor” opting for ignoring a critical situation instead of lending a helping hand and gladly disposing of a nagging nuisance. He enjoys the small respites in life: catching the sunset on the school’s roof, people watching couples, engaging in hopelessly insane conversations with himself, and reading world news to his parents’ tombstone. He puts little importance into money and values a lesson far more than a dollar. If it comes down to him saving the world, at the moment, he’d watch it burn for a while.
- Equipment: Nothing of note.
- Abilities: Ayumu is a monstrously powerful ESPER. He is capable of telekinesis, kinetic energy absorption, and empowering his own body with his psychic energy. Whatever fuels his powers seems near endless and for some reason engages a kind of thrumming of danger in the air. It amplifies the intentions of his emotions, making them palpable--near visible. He’s capable of twisting weak-willed people to his whims, lifting massive objects, and performing precise actions all with his mind. His only weakness lies in his emotions, if not kept in check his powers could damage him far more than his opponent.
- Skills: Composing music has always been a pastime for him, with his accelerated mental capacity he easily string notes into beautiful melodies. Otherwise he can be found cataloging stars.
- Brief Backstory: Ayumu was robbed of something precious at the age of eight. When his elder brothers fought over the decision to either kill him or keep him alive. Their indecisiveness kept him imprisoned with the victims, the butchered bodies of his father and mother. The damage it brought to him was incomparable, it nearly crippled him. When the eldest of the two brothers finally opened the door, a pool of red growing on his shirt, he greeted Ayumu with a smile. He slid to the floor in pain and told him that he was free to leave.
It was a slow process but after the trial and conviction Ayumu recovered enough to be adopted by his aunt’s family. During a particular harsh conversation with his Uncle, who had always been a “face the truth” kind-of-man, Ayumu ran. He ran so far that time blurred; buildings, trees, and people. When he realized how far he had come from running, he knew that those moments in time, those stutters and frozen seconds were his brain tapping into his abilities; that he was invoking some psychic territory around himself.
Months later his Uncle found out about his abilities and called the police. Somehow the JSSDF found out and recruited him. His rebellious attitude and gifts had given him plenty of room to duck and dodge orders. However, occasionally he grows bored and decides to lend a helping hand to the agency. - Allegiance: Outbreak Agency
