At such a late time of the night, it was often hard to find well-meaning establishments that sold freshly-grained coffee.

Usually, this wouldn't be a problem. Usually, Kaze consumed his caffeine-loaded guilty pleasure in the mornings, the time where most able-bodied men drank their coffee. However, today was a special day. Today, he decided to meet a bunch of shady criminals at some dock at 12 o' clock midnight. Even he didn't know why he chose to agree to the mystery man's terms. Maybe it was boredom, or maybe it was the yearning to do something more to take out the 'heroic' population. Regardless, here he was, walking down a dimly-lit street, an hour before he had to be at the -secret- meeting place, searching for a coffee shop that didn't look like it was bathed in spiderwebs and darkness. The streets were suspiciously silent, other than the occasional car making it's presence known by the scent of exhaust, or the meowing of tiny alley cats scurrying their way to their next rotten meal.

'It's a surprise that I've not been mugged so far.' And it was truly a surprise. Kaze was definitely not rich, by any means, but he was relatively well-off, for a seventeen year old that lived in a high-rise apartment. It was pitch dark out, and a teenage boy was walking, alone, wearing nice sneakers, nice jeans, a buttoned-down white shirt, and a black designer's blazer. The only explanation was that he was either being stealthily followed, or the criminals of the night somehow recognized him, and decided to cut their losses and flee with their Quirks between their legs. 'But I suppose that I should be thankful...' The lack of attention meant that he would be able get his coffee and fly to the docks without any trouble...that is, if he could find a fu-

He paused in his walk, turquoise eyes widening ever so slightly. There, in front of him, illuminated by the streetlights as if it was Heaven itself, was what he was looking for. A nice-looking, if quaint shop, with a large, artistic coffee mug illustrated on the one-sided window. Hanging on the door knob of the warm wooden door was a sign that read 'OPEN'. A genuine smile formed on Kaze's lips, the young man not hesitating to reach forward and open the door. Immediately, the scent of freshly-ground coffee pilfered his senses, floating along the air currents like the sweetest melodies. He entered the shop, letting the door shut quietly behind him. "Perfect."

---

Thirty minutes later, Kaze's feet lightly touched down on the pavement, just outside of the Shipyard's entrance. He had smelled the scent of blood along the air-currents, on his way to the shipyard, and had changed course to investigate - mostly out of curiosity than anything else. Originally, he had planned to fly straight over the gate and directly to the container, but...

Two kills, easily fresh - by only minutes, it seemed. The wounds seemed to be from some sort of blade - one of the guards was pierced through the heart, and the other through the head. Cleanly, as well. Obviously, one of the villains that he would be meeting with did this. The guards seemed to be quirkless, and he had high doubts on two heroes being undercover security guards. That meant that they were...innocent, most-likely. Or, at the very least, there was a fifty percent chance of them being guilty, as well.

He stood up straight, eyes cool as he turned away from the bodies, and entered through the gates. He wasn't here to judge or be judged...he was here to see what this meeting was about, and leave if it was foolish. What other villains did wasn't his concern.

The green container was rather hard to miss, and so was the voices inside. They carried on the wind currents like chiming bells, easily placed by someone with high enough senses. He truly didn't know what to expect whenever he entered. Hardened criminals? Grimy, bloody beasts? He'd seen his fair share, after all.

With a silent exhale, Kaze schooled his features, and entered the container.

---

The first thing he noticed, was that the container was rather spacious. More spacious than what it seemed on the outside.

The second thing he noticed, was that everyone appeared to be around the same age as he - that is, teenagers. Most seemed to wear masks, which he understood, and respected. Was it careless that he couldn't bring himself to care about such things? Or maybe arrogance? That wasn't important at the moment.

"Hello."

His voice, cool and composed, seemed to carry along the currents of the air. He made eye-contact with each member, ending it with the female with what seemed to be fresh blood on her clothing. So...she was the killer, huh? She seemed tough. They all seemed adept.

Kaze paused, noticing that the shark girl seemed to be in the middle of being confrontational. A fight already, maybe? His emotionless mask broke somewhat, a smirk tilting his lips as he watched the group from a respectable distance away.

Poor guards.

They just wanted their paycheck. :(

"Let's not dance with words. If you want a quick death, I will grant you one."

Name:

Kaze Vaelune

Age:

Seventeen. (17)

Appearance:

On first glance, Kaze does not scream out 'villainous murderer'. A teenage boy, not even old enough to drink alcohol, is what you would see. He is neither especially tall or short, standing at a fairly average height of 180cm, otherwise known as five foot nine in other measurement systems. His physique is lean, although a closer glance would showcase definition in his arms, legs, and torso - a testament to some form of athleticism. Regardless, he isn't made of muscle, and would most-likely never bulk into such a body. Fair skin, a bit on the paler spectrum, has a noticeable lack of blemish or scar tissue, gained from daily washing and lack of physical scrapping. His complexion goes rather well with his hair and eyes, the latter being a vivid and soft emerald, and the former being a soft and feathery light blonde, approaching white in certain light.

It's rare for his features to be twisted into expressions of anger or hate, which explains the lack of stress lining his face. Though, if you look hard enough, one could spot an almost invisible dash of freckles skimming over the bridge of his nose. Unlike most villains, Kaze lacks a costume. He generally wears neat, tidy clothing, such as blazers and buttoned-up shirts. A constant in his wardrobe, however, are the pure-white gloves that covers his hands. Kuro's sharp talons does nothing to harm the material, hinting that the gloves are not what they seem.

Personality:

One thing to note, is that Kaze doesn't yell or scream when he gets angry. No, his display of anger is much more...quiet, yet infinitely more dangerous. It's a sign of a calm before the storm, the sun before the rain, the life before the death. It builds in his eyes...they become almost blank, the vivid green turning a pale silver. His hair began to move and wave, as if he's flying through the air, or sitting at the bottom of an ocean. And the air...the air around him thrashes, buffeting anything that's not nailed to the earth.

But...it is rare for Kaze to get that angry. just dont hurt kuro the crow

In general, the young man comes off as cool-headed, patient, and mysterious. Eyes calm and body relaxed, Kaze approaches the world with an almost easy-going grace that is hard to match. He is an A student, and incredibly meticulous - he enjoys having all of his cards hidden with his hand until he is ready to play them, all at once, and win. It is uncommon for him to appear surprised or panicked, with the most outwardly surprised expression being the raising of an eyebrow, or a smirk of the lips. He takes everything in stride, and stays one step ahead of his opponents, be it in battle or wits.

Of course, that isn't to say that he is necessarily cold and clinical.

Although he maintains a quiet, cool and aloof composure, Kaze isn't rude...on purpose, at least. He simply tells it how it is, and would appreciate it if the same was done to him. His humor tends to be sarcastic and blunt, with amusement being expressed at stupid, silly, or idiotic decisions. When interacting with others, some emotions are shown - mostly amusement or subdued annoyance, but Kaze naturally has a kindness within him that most villains seem to lack. It only tends to comes out when around children, friends, or cute animals, however.

Simply put, if Kaze cares for you, he will protect you from the entire city itself. His willpower and determination is simply that strong. But...do not let his kindness fool you. If he feels the need to, Kaze will end your life mercilessly, cool eyes turning as cold as a winter's breeze.

Background:

For the first ten years of his life, Kaze's life wasn't even bad. He was born to a pair of high middle-class adults, both who loved and cherished him dearly. Outside of their lives as nurses and doctors, the two parents were the tag-team Hero duo, Windy Breeze. His mother, Windy, was a happy woman with the power to float on wind currents. His father, Breeze, was able to accelerate wind currents to a medium degree. Together, they arrested low-tier criminals and villains, and came home to take care of their happy little son, Kaze.

When he was five, Kaze began to show his Quirk - which seemed to be uniquely bolstered by both of his parents'. The ability to manipulate and channel air and wind itself, in both destructive, and passive ways. Proud of their son's Quirk, and in awe of the raw talent he seemed to possess for the power, his parents began to train and teach him, so that he could use his powers for good. He still went to school, and managed to keep up high grades despite his...extracurricular tutoring.

That is, until that fateful tenth birthday.

He'd never meant to kill the cocky hero. He had been walking home from school, avoiding the skies due to the incoming rainstorm, when some low-tier villain cut him off in an alley. Although fearful and nervous, Kaze was ready to attack, the wind flitting around his form, when some guy in a red jumpsuit leaped off of the roof, and drop-kicked the villain with a battle cry. Reflexes kicked in, and he subconsciously released the blast of air that he'd been channeling around his gloved right hand.

The man in the jumpsuit was sent careening over the streets, slamming head-first into a car, denting the metal. He had been a normal human vigilante, wanting to show the world that villains could be defeated by the average joe. Kaze did not mean to hit him so hard...he had just been scared. That didn't stop nearby heroes from running into the alley, powers at the ready. Frightened, Kaze escaped to the air, barely fleeing the area unseen.

The damage was done, however.

By the time he got home, after spending a couple of hours hiding away in the park, pictures were displayed on the news, showing his shocked face as he stared at the dead hero. The news went on to show his parents being processed into prison - apparently, they'd chosen to turn themselves in as...accomplices. He was horrified, but he also knew that he couldn't stay at his home. There were probably heroes and officers heading to his home at that very moment. Shaking, Kaze packed his bags, and took his first steps into the life of villainy.

Years went by, as did his hesitation, and patience, for heroes. The fact that they would hunt him for so long, for something that was so obviously an accident, made him aware of their true nature. Attention-grabbing, power-hungry pieces of filth. He has a home, now - a nice apartment, with a view of the city. He wouldn't let that be destroyed.

Nowadays, he isn't merciful when it comes to the chase. The city seems to want Maelstrom's head on a platter, and Kaze has no interest in dying peacefully.

Motive for Villainy:

At first, it was simple survival. They pursued him, and he fought back. Nowadays, however? He is aware of the truth. Heroes are a cancer, and they needed to be cut off. Innocent lives? They're innocent, no reason for unneeded bloodshed. But heroes...Kaze is a patient young man, but even he is sick of them.

Quirk:

Winter's Breeze.

An Emitter-class Quirk, and one that is very...dangerous when uncontrolled. In layman's terms, Kaze has the ability to manipulate and channel the very wind and air that flows through the world.

To put it bluntly, Kaze can utilize the air and wind around him in a variety of different ways, such as: floating/flight - speed depends, blasts of concussive wind - the power and sizes of the blasts varying, or even tendrils or blades made of razor-sharp wind, capable of slicing through various materials, depending on their durability, and the power put into the attacks. Those are just his more common techniques.

Weakness-wise, Kaze's powers are practically useless in places where air and/or wind is limited. Creating wind itself is incredibly draining - not to be confused with manipulating existing wind, and so is creating large-scale tornados or similar acts of wide-scale destruction. Due to the potential danger of his quirk, Kaze has to keep a close eye on both his emotions and concentration, lest he hurt both himself and those close to him.

Talents:

Other than his obvious intelligence, which lets him stay one step ahead of opponents of average intelligence, Kaze is naturally calm in stressful situations, allowing him to react unheeded and unburdened by stress or worry. He has some hand-to-hand training by his parents, but it's rather basic, as he relies mainly on mid to long range attacks, and overwhelming opponents with cunning and power.

Kaze is also skilled at the usage of the violin, and can slow-dance relatively well.

Other:

He has a pet crow, named Kuro.

Relationships

Ryu Hadekoto;; Kaze's opinion on Ryu is mostly...indifferent. While they do not clash, exactly, Kaze disagrees whole-heartedly with Ryu's morality. Killing heroes, he understands. Going after their innocent families, and random police officers and soldiers? It's simply unnecessary to him, and, in his opinion, shows a lack of restraint and higher thinking.

Vert Hilstein;; A source of amusement, if anything. The girl's confrontational attitude usually gets her into aggressive situations, which Kaze finds rather funny. While he respects her for her survivalist attitude, he also notices that she does things out of necessity, and to get what she wants, not for an overarching reason. For this, he doesn't see her as much of a staple ally.

Sawasawa Sakai;; Kaze, perhaps unwillingly, finds her to be very...nice to be around. Her warm and cheerful attitude doesn't grate on his nerves, surprisingly. She genuinely seems like a happy person, although such happiness keeps him slightly wary when around her. All in all, he doesn't sense much in the ways of threats, and will most-likely treat her with respect and kindness. There's a possibility of him becoming protective of her in the future.

2nd Edit: Believe it or not, I was going to do an explosive-Quirk'd character, but I wanted someone a bit more calm and whimsical.

@Wasted Ink

not only that wind spreads fire if not amplifies it, but fire drains oxygen. oxygen = wind = no wind = nothing to control

@cloudystar

Ah, yes, I understand what you're saying. Yeah, fire is a definite weakness for Kaze, no doubt.

Evil Academia Squad

@Wasted Ink

hmmm...level 7 wizard with wind magic...intriguing, i'll give an approval if you can answer this:

if there is fire, you know it'd be kinda useless in an actual blaze not a small fire?

@cloudystar

Not sure if I understand the question. Might just be my tiredness showing, however.

I assume that you are asking me if I know that wind spreads/bolsters fire, if the fire is of a bigger scale?

@Wasted Ink

...I am shipping him and Allison now.

Just you know, fyi.

She's gonna like him since she dislikes heroes for similar reasons.

@Rune_Alchemist

Hah, it'll be interesting to see what he thinks of Missus Bone Head.
