[indent]Dark Brown[/indent]
[color=salmon][b]ETHNICITY[/b][/color]
[indent]Japanese[/indent]
[color=salmon][b]PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION[/b][/color]
[indent]Just like his younger twin, Haruka also has a small and slim stature common among native Japanese. While he doesn't have the athletic build his sporty agent brother possesses, the Academy's physical training has given him a much healthier hue and beefed him up a little, though he still can't get any tan even if he's under the sun a lot.

His jet-black hair is naturally ruffled and unkempt no matter how much he tries to straighten that mop of mess on his head. He wears a pair of rectangular, half-rimmed spectacles over his dark brown eyes, but he can still see without glasses since the degree isn't that high anyway. He has the same heart-shaped, androgynous face and thin lips like Shizuka, but he does not have any birthmarks.

The gun wound from the Mall Hostage incident has pretty much healed save for a faint scar on his thigh, to remind him that he's no longer the weak Haruka from before, but someone who can stand his own ground without his twin to protect him all the [s]fucking[/s] time. Most people tend to drop their guard around him because of his weak appearance, which usually works in his favor - either to keep a low profile as much as possible, or to deliver surprise attacks to make quick getaways.[/indent]
[color=salmon][b]ATTIRE[/b][/color]
[indent]It's hard to be particular about dress code when you're on the road, always on the move. As long as they are comfortable for the long journey (plus easy to wash and dry, of course), Haruka isn't picky about what he wears. However, he does take special care to make sure he can blend in with the crowd - the last thing he wanted is to attract unwanted attention to himself... and Jennifer.[/indent]

[color=salmon][indent][h3]P E R S O N A L I T Y[/h3][/indent][/color][hr]
[color=salmon][b]INNATE & OUTWARD PERSONALITY[/b][/color]
[indent]Haruka has come a long way from his old self. In Verthaven, he began as a nerdy kid of sorts: a soft-spoken introvert who spent most of his time with books - basically information in general - than with people. It didn't help that his childhood circumstances made him even more reluctant to socialize, and Shizuka became the only person he was willing to open up to. Still, he knew very well that people couldn't live alone and tried his best to reach out to others, even if he was hesitant about approaching them at times.

However, after the Verthaven Disaster and moving to Baybridge, he was enrolled into Academy 61 while his twin became a RAVEN. Increasing interactions after joining the Academy has given him the opportunity to break the ice. Eventually he has become much more comfortable facing and talking with strangers, and even making friends (better than Shizuka), though he still retains his rather polite/formal speech style. He does continue to value quiet times and his peaceful private space to take breaks from the social hubbub.

He may have a seemingly mellow personality (that's further accented by his meek outward appearance), but that doesn't mean he can't put up a fight. Trained directly under [i]the[/i] Zhao Lihua, a matriarch among the elemental-manipulating instructors in the Academy, he fully understands that his power is as versatile as the element itself - air and wind - and he spares no effort to truly master his ability. He did, and went on to graduate from the Academy as one of the top students of his cohort. As much as he can he prefers to avoid needless violence, but if he has to resort to force he is capable of taking care of himself without any help from his overprotective brother. However, with how his ability is connected to his emotions, he has to be extremely careful with how he to keep his power - and his [i]other[/i] side - under control.

He has also learned to be more reserved about putting his trust in people he barely knew, but he still tries to see the good in them as much as he can. While on the surface it's a good thing that Haruka is becoming more sociable and stop being a shut-in of sorts, he's also exposed to the dark side of human relationships, which often challenges his initial ideals about humanity, making it increasingly harder for him to think of people in a good way. The constant battle between the paradox of beliefs inside him continues to widen... resulting in two distinct personalities within him. One is his nice, idealistic "usual" self; the other is the darker, cold-blooded persona that seems to take after his more practical twin. (Do not mistaken this as a form of bipolar or personality disorder - Haruka is consciously aware of the two sides and has control over them. Besides, it's nowhere extreme enough to be considered that anyway.)

Most importantly, he has matured even further through the road trip with Jennifer to aid in her search of her previous "employer", a woman called Megan. An independent side that he has shown to only Jen, and no one else - not even to Shizuka. Maybe Xing Huo was right - there's a limit how far he can keep up the "Nice Guy" facade, but he doesn't know any other way he can still hold onto whatever's left of his optimism for humanity. Especially not after he has seen too many horrors in his life to pretend that everything will be alright. (Everything ain't okay if they're left as it is, period.)[/indent]
[color=salmon][b]HOBBIES & INTERESTS[/b][/color]
[indent][b][i]Reading[/i] |[/b] Haruka prides himself as an armchair traveler as opposed to Shizuka's passion for backpacking. Unable to make long-lasting friendship with peers of his age due to the family constantly moving around in his childhood days, he seeks refuge by losing himself in the worlds of books and cyberspace. While his brother is out sweating himself in sports, the older twin would lurk in local libraries and bookstores, burying himself among the piles of musty old volumes; or he would hang out in internet cafes, lost himself in the sea of information in the virtual world. He is rather well-versed in Asian literature.

[b][i]Music[/i] |[/b] Besides reading, he likes listening to music, specifically acoustic covers and instrumental pieces. It's one of the few things that can help to calm his nerves.

[b][i]High Places[/i] |[/b] Mostly a "side-effect" of sorts due to his ability, he enjoys simply standing or sitting on the rooftops or trees, letting the open breeze to blow into him.

[b][i]Video Gaming[/i] |[/b] Usually just between him and Shizuka. The twins would try to find free time and have a few hours of game time together - so far, Haruka is better with rhythm games and strategic turn-based types, while his younger twin is unstoppable in real-time action RPGs and FPS.[/indent]
[color=salmon][b]SKILLS & TALENTS[/b][/color]
[indent][b][i]Languages[/i] |[/b] Like his twin, Haruka is also fluent in Japanese, English and Chinese. In fact, he learns new languages faster than Shizuka. On the road trip with Jennifer, he has picked up a couple of useful lines in various European languages here and there.

[b][i]Eidetic Memory[/i] |[/b] He has displayed signs of such talent; however, it's possibly due to his aptitude to maximize the use of various mnemonics, which enable him to process information at a faster rate with better grasp than most people.[/indent]
[color=salmon][b]GOALS & MOTIVATIONS[/b][/color]
[indent][b][i]Family[/i] |[/b] Haruka's reason is very different from his twin's; rather than about their current family in America, he's more concerned about their blood family - with Yuu and Asami. He doesn't want to give up on their original family like Shizuka, choosing to rebuild it from scratch.

[b][i]???[/i] |[/b] The journey across the world with Jennifer is certainly quite an experience, but once he gets back to Baybridge, he has to decide if he wants to take up DOVE's offer and follow Shizuka's footsteps... or continue to try figure out what he wants to do in his life from hereon.[/indent]

[color=salmon][indent][h3]H I S T O R Y[/h3][/indent][/color][hr]
[color=salmon][b]PRE-VERTHAVEN: TWO PEAS IN A POD[/b][/color]
[indent]I suggest that you should read [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/2890437]Shizuka's sheet[/url] first as it contains more details (which I'm not going to repeat myself here again).[/indent]
[color=salmon][b]VERTHAVEN: PARTLY CLOUDY[/b][/color]
[indent]Verthaven seemed to be a promising place for the twins to finally settle down - Akemi was much nicer than their own mother, and they managed to make some "friends" around their age. Everything was smooth - he was starting to enjoy his new life in America - but that happiness didn't last long. Barely a month passed before the Devil's sludge army rose above the ground and razed the city, then his family was forced to run for their lives. He felt even more useless when he didn't have any powers like his twin, a hindrance to everyone else - until he met Jennifer Caspin, the first person he thought he could truly be friends with.

He could see all the warning signs, he could tell that something wrong - something terrible - had happened to the girl, but he was afraid to probe her further, afraid of the answer. He was upset when Shizuka suspected her for being the mole selling them out to the Changelings - he knew that all his brother had done was merely to protect him, but he couldn't help feeling guilty that his own life was saved on her forsaken life. It was even more ironic that his superpower only manifested after her death.

However, his brother was right: the only thing he could do to "repay" for being alive was to live on and keep moving forward, together with the memories he had made with those who had passed away in the terrible incident.[/indent]
[color=salmon][b]BAYBRIDGE: ENDLESS WALTZSTORM[/b][/color]
[indent]After the twins and their new family settled down in Baybridge, Haruka was enrolled into Academy 61 to learn how to better control his power while his brother began his two-year basic military training with the newly formed RAVEN. The older twin worked really hard - he had been doing very well in the Academy and eventually graduated with flying colors, while Shizuka went on to do further training in his area of expertise. Though, a certain incident that happened during one of the arena practice fights was the first sign of his confrontation with the harsh reality. It might seem like a big deal and was covered up pretty quickly thanks to Lihua, but that was only just the beginning...

After which, Haruka decided to take up part-time degree course so that he could still help Akemi with the farm. Everything seemed so peaceful right now, but with his new power, he could feel it as much as Shizuka's "gut feeling" - that something else is stirring in the background... Something [i]bad[/i].

He was living a peaceful life with Akemi, though he was disappointed that the reunion with his twin was cut short due to Shizuka's eventual involvement with the Stronghold Community patrol shift. While his brother was later caught up in one after another Metahuman-related incident that prevented them from having a proper get-together, Haruka soon found himself walking deeper and deeper into the Overload trap; he then became the final victim and razed Oakdell Harbor with his freak tornado-hurricane before the sniper who shot him with a charging serum was apprehended. Not without a near-death reunion with an old ghost he had never expected to meet...

Just when he thought he could finally have a nice catch-up with Shizuka, the twins found themselves in the middle of another Metahuman disaster caused by Eco-Natura. While trying to escape from the growing forest, he met Jennifer again, but they didn't have the time to settle their score with each other when they had to part ways, with Shizuka prioritizing on getting uncombatable individuals under his protection to safety, and left the ice golem to her and Megan. Their brief, passing encounters went on when Jennifer loaded the injured Lihua up the car, and then Haruka had to fly his former mentor across to the Headquarters to seek medical help when the connecting bridge was bombed.

To add on to his growing list of woes, the news of the missing Asami struck the twins. Shizuka quickly left for Asia to sort out both about the Founding Family and their mother's whereabouts on top of dealing with the increasing restlessness of the Asian countries in respond to the Baybridge incidents. As for Haruka, he wondered if he should find a way to get in contact with the few new friends he had made in the city to take a break from all the madness around him.

Of course, things would [i]never[/i] go the way he had wished for...[/indent]
[color=salmon][b]BAYBRIDGE: (UN)FRIENDLY FIRE[/b][/color]
[indent]While his younger twin was busy with more political bullshits between RAVEN and the Asian Metahuman law enforcement agencies, Haruka wasn't exactly slacking off, either. He was coping well with his "normal" studies in Computer Science (something he had taken interest in since his days in the Academy) but he would still wander around Baybridge from time to time, trying to overcome the emptiness without Shizuka around. After all, they had been together throughout their entire childhood for as long as he could remember... Thankfully, he had occasional company from the asexual bird-girl Rori, whom he got along with pretty well.

Anyway, let's just skip the boring daily life stuff and get straight to the [s]retarded[/s] main plots. Haruka got involved in the Mall Hostage incident and was singled out by the Black Hound with a Meta-energy suppressant canister strapped to his front as a precaution against his RAVEN agent twin, but failed when Shizuka found another way to breach the seemingly impregnable defense line set up by the Intimidation Unit. Sadly, even after Shizuka was suspended from his position for his crazy plan, the brothers still couldn't spend time with each other as much as they wanted.

Shortly after Haruka was discharged, he encountered the Fire Spirit of Polaris, Xing Huo, who appeared to take [s]too much[/s] special interest in the twins, even revealing a glimpse of their mother's dark past to him. With the help of an agent from a different organization, Aislin Rose, they set up a meeting with the Chinese lady to get more information out of her but was only left with a cryptic poem to ponder about. It seemed like Shizuka had been using the suspension as a cover to gather his own resources in their final stand against the Founding Family... Something that Haruka was proud of - but also unhappy with. Regardless, he knew he couldn't let his petty feelings hinder the operations to destroy the Family and end this shitstorm, once and for all. He also reunited with Wendy for only a brief moment - that girl had other business with her own family and friends, while he was more concerned about Jennifer at that time.

In the end, Shizuka's Japanese agent friend Ryu took down Julia O'Sullivan, who was one of the Blessed Three, and they freed most of the Secretaries from the mind control. With combined efforts from RAVEN, they had finally ended the Family's regime attempt over North America, though not without some bitter loss: Lihua's death, Cindy's disappearance, Meifeng's depression - and the list could go on. However, Xing Huo suddenly appeared before him once more to remind him that this wasn't the end of everything yet...

For the next three years before the start of this installment, Haruka joined Jennifer on a trip around the world - to look for an acquaintance of Jen's, Megan. Julia had mentioned her to Jen during their stand-off when he left her and went with Wendy's group to get out of the base back then, and so they believed that Megan might hold some answers to Jen's past during the seven-year gap between Verthaven and Baybridge. However, Megan was as sneaky as Jennifer had warned him about, where they were always a few steps behind their target, missing the chance to catch up with Megan. At the same time, they were also looking for another person - their old friend, Cindy Keagan, who went missing after the end of the previous installment.

Eventually the two returned to Baybridge...[/indent]

[color=salmon][b]FAMILY[/b][/color]
[indent][hider=][color=cornflowerblue][b]SHIZUKA TAKASHIRO | Twin Brother[/b][/color]
[indent]See "Dynamics".[/indent]
[color=salmon][b]AKEMI SHINODA | Aunt[/b][/color]
[indent]The twins' aunt through their mother's side, who makes them feel more like a mom than their actual mother. Haruka gets along very well with Akemi - not just helping out with her farm, he also helps with any repair work needed around the house.[/indent]
[color=salmon][b]DAPHNE "HOLLY" HOPE | Sister Figure[/b][/color]
[indent]Holly is like an older sister that Haruka never had until now - occasionally he would tease Shizuka that she is a potential girlfriend material to the younger twin, which Shizuka is quick to wave off that he's never seen Holly in [i]that[/i] way.[/indent]
[color=salmon][b]YUUICHI TAKASHIRO | Father[/b][/color]
[indent]Haruka does love his father, but he has also wished he can spend more time with him, and rebuild their relationship from scratch. Right now he can only be kept updated about Dad through Shizuka, something he hopes to change soon.[/indent]
[color=salmon][b]ASAMI TAKASHIRO (nee SHINODA) | Mother[/b][/color]
[indent]Haruka's relationship with Asami isn't as strained as his brother's; however, he is also uncertain about how he should feel towards their mother's outright objection at them. He feels that she must have a reason for acting this way towards the twins, and he really wants to get to the bottom of it - for any chance to save their broken family.[/indent][/hider][/indent]
[color=salmon][b]DYNAMICS[/b][/color]
[indent][hider=][color=cornflowerblue][b]SHIZUKA TAKASHIRO | Inseparable | Twin Brother[/b][/color]
[indent][color=salmon][i]"I love him as much as I hate his crude sense of humor."[/i][/color]
The [i]younger[/i] twin brother; again, not many people can guess the seniority between them unless they explicitly say so. Haruka has stopped having weird unrequited feelings for Shizuka (which is basically worshiping him), and it's now no different from a normal sibling love. They are still very close though, and he simply ignores the strange looks people give them at their affectionate exchanges.[/indent]
[color=springgreen][b]RORI AHERNE | Good | Friend[/b][/color]
[indent][color=salmon][i]"We became friends through a quirky encounter, but I haven't seen her for a long time... not when so many things have happened in Baybridge."[/i][/color]
Haruka's power was what sucked Rori, in bird form, to himself by mistake, and that little incident became the beginning of an unexpected friendship with the cheery bird-girl. He hasn't met her ever since the last time they talked a bit about her cousin and family, and he'd love to meet her again.[/indent]
[color=cadetblue][b]REINALD YOUNG | Neutral | ???[/b][/color]
[indent][color=salmon][i]"He's my only hope to reclaim what we've lost."[/i][/color]
Surprised to have the person he intended to meet delivered right before him, Haruka welcomes this unexpected development, but he has a suspicion that this might be a calculated move made by someone he knows well...[/indent]
[color=skyblue][b]WENDY LUCKER | Curious | Junior[/b][/color]
[indent][color=salmon][i]"She is probably the first multi-elemental manipulator I have ever encountered. It's also great that she loves books as much as I do."[/i][/color]
Haruka first met Wendy at the market when the berserk snowstorm incident happened; they met again in the Academy library by chance. He admires how easily open Wendy was towards him when they barely knew each other.[/indent]
[color=red][b]ZHAO MEIFENG | Neutral | Lihua's Daughter[/b][/color]
[indent][color=salmon][i]"I haven't talked to her at all ever since Verthaven. I hope she's alright, especially after... Lihua's passing."[/i][/color]
Haruka still think of Meifeng as a friend of sorts, but Meifeng is usually out of town and Haruka didn't have any chance to meet her at all. He feels that they are something like distant friends - slightly above the level of mere acquaintances - and he only hears little bit about her through Shizuka. He shares similar sentiment with her with regards to Lihua's death, but to a lesser degree - merely at mentor-student/friend level.[/indent]
[color=darkslateblue][b]REED TAYLOR | Respected | Quentin's Brother[/b][/color]
[indent][color=salmon][i]"I haven't seen him at all since the Devil incident... I heard from Shizu that his brother gave him Luis' power. That is all I know about him."[/i][/color]
Haruka barely interacted with him at all - whether during the Verthaven disaster or after they're all relocated to Baybridge - but he can feel that Reed is a pretty nice cop.[/indent]
[color=gray][b]QUENTIN TAYLOR | Neutral | Reed's Brother[/b][/color]
[indent][color=salmon][i]"I find him remotely similar to Shizu when it comes to being protective of his own brother, and I wish Shizu can learn from him and be less suffocating with me."[/i][/color]
Even though Haruka hasn't had a chance to communicate with Quentin ever since the Verthaven Disaster, he still holds the senior agent in high regards. (It's also amusing how the Taylors are so similar to the Takashiro twins in many ways.)[/indent][/hider][/indent]

[color=salmon][indent][h3]S U P E R P O W E R[/h3][/indent][/color][hr]
[color=salmon][b]CLASS[/b][/color]
[indent][i]Elemental[/i] (Mode: Air)[/indent]
[color=salmon][b]POWER[/b][/color]
[indent][b][i]Air & Wind Manipulation[/i][/b] | Just like any elemental benders, Haruka is able to telekinetically control any gaseous matter (including water vapor), moving the air around him to his will - from as gentle as a light breeze, to as destructive as a tornado. Though using hand gestures allow him to move the air with better precision and control, he is equally capable of manipulating through sheer concentration alone. The versatility of his power is only restricted by his own imagination and creativity, hence the list below is not exhaustible, just the more common tricks he employs:

[list][*][b][i]Flying[/i] |[/b] Probably one of the basics he has to master in his power package - I mean, how can an air bender [i]not[/i] know how to fly? He can do this in two ways: either by "gliding with" the wind (basically moving in the direction of the air current, similar to how birds fly minus the wing-flapping), or creating a small tornado beneath his feet to carry himself into the air. Currently he can only carry a maximum of two people to fly along with him.[/list]
[list][*][b][i]Wind Blade[/i] |[/b] By packing the gas molecules closer together into very condensed air before swiping his hand outwards quickly, he can throw out an invisible arc with enough force to slice most generic furniture cleanly into half.[/list]
[list][*][b][i]Air Fist[/i] |[/b] He can also encase the closely-packed air around his knuckles to form an invisible orb, where it acts as a protection around his fist while dealing more damage compared to an ordinary punch.[/list]
[list][*][b][i]Cyclone Shield[/i] |[/b] He can generate a high-speed whirlwind around himself that can act as a spinning shield to knock out most things coming towards him (or at least get swept into the air funnel).[/list]
[list][*][b][i]Static Charge[/i] |[/b] If the air around him is moving at a high enough velocity, he's able to cause them to induce static charge on top of its spinning destructive force.[/list]
[list][*][b][i]"Sixth Sense"[/i] |[/b] This is different from extra-sensory powers - he doesn't have clairvoyance or mind-reading shenanigans, but he is sensitive enough to feel presences through the displacement of gaseous particles around him.[/list][/indent]
[color=salmon][b]LIMITS[/b][/color]
[list][*]Range isn't a major issue to Haruka - after the mall incident, it has gone up to about hundred-over feet from his position if you really want a number of sorts - but his power is definitely much more limited when he's indoors or underground There's only so much air he can control in these places - which means flying in these areas is impossible.[/list]
[list][*]Adding to the point about flying, obviously he can't fly up so high like airplanes - the most at the height of a nine-story building, and that's already pushing his limit. Even lower if he's carrying someone along with him.[/list]
[list][*]The larger and heavier the object, the harder for him to keep afloat in the air. Well, duh.[/list]
[list][*]He's nowhere strong enough to move the clouds with his power, and therefore cannot control the weather.[/list]
[list][*]While he's able to multitask a couple of tricks (e.g. flying and using wind blades at the same time), but that tires him out very fast than using just one at each time.[/list]
[list][*]The cyclone shield doesn't completely protect him from all attacks - it is possible for stray bullets to pierce through the whirlwind and still hit him.[/list]
[color=salmon][b]WEAKNESSES & DRAWBACKS[/b][/color]
[list][*]Haruka's power doesn't make him immune to air-related disadvantages such as breathing problems, suffocation, gas poisoning, etc. Also, his ability doesn't contribute any changes to his human physiology (e.g. no hollow bones like birds to reduce his body mass to fly).[/list]
[list][*]His ability is not entirely dependent on telekinesis alone - it's also linked to/balanced by his emotions; hence, if he loses control over his feelings, his power may go berserk.[/list]
[list][*]Although he has an edge when it comes to execution speed, air is still the weakest among all other elemental-type abilities based on raw power. Using Air Fist as an example, same or similar trick in other elements obviously have a lot more destructive force than air.[/list]
[list][*]He can induce static charge but it's ultimately not part of his control, hence he can still be subjected to getting a bad shock as much as anyone else is who is near his charged tornado. If he forgets to disperse the charged air around him, he can be extremely prone to attract lightning strikes towards himself.[/list]

[color=salmon][indent][h3]O T H E R S[/h3][/indent][/color][hr]
[color=salmon][b]TRIVIA[/b][/color]
[list][*]Just like his brother, Haruka is also permanent resident of US but still holds Japanese citizenship. He enjoys diplomatic immunity due to their parents' job, but so far the twins have not used this privilege for any purpose.[/list]
[list][*]He shares the FZ-09 with Shizuka - and he's also in charge of maintaining it - but he only drives it when he needs to go out of Roseview area. Otherwise he sticks to his hardy bicycle, the [url=http://www.bicycling.com/sites/bicycling.com/files/styles/slideshow-desktop/public/jamis_commuter3-566.jpg]Jamis Commuter 3[/url].[/list]
