Name: Hoshiko (Hoshi) Takahashi
Gender: Female
Age: 14
School Grade: 2nd year of Middle School
School Name: Nagatenjouki
Organization: None
Esper Level: 4



Personality: Hoshi is probably best known amongst her peers for her cheerful and exuberant disposition, virtually always having a sparkle in her eye and a smile on her face. Though some no doubt find her constant good mood overbearing, her confidence and general friendliness have made her semi-popular among her schoolmates. She also has a reputation for taking charge of situations that arise, often coming up with… unorthodox ways to solve a problem.

Those who really get to know Hoshi, which honestly isn’t all that hard considering her natural extrovertedness, find in her a loyal, trustworthy friend who will stand up for them no matter what comes their way. Unfortunately, these same people soon discover that Hoshi is an individual who needs someone to balance her out and keep an eye on her, as she’s prone to ending up being taken advantage of or in situations that are way over her head due to her childish naivety and stubbornness.

Bio: Born in the United States to the descendants of Japanese immigrants, it became apparent at a young age that Hoshi was… unnatural, though the only real manifestation of this was the fact that she would emit light, shimmering in the dark. Believing the phenomenon to be a medical condition at first, Hoshi’s parents took her to numerous doctors and medical professionals with the hope that they would be able to tell them what was wrong with their child.

After several years of trying to find out from regular medical professionals what Hoshi’s condition was in vain, her parents were contacted by a representative of Academy City, who explained that it seemed that Hoshi was an Esper, or someone who could use supernatural abilities. Interested in studying a Gemstone, or natural Esper, as they suspected Hoshi was, the family was offered the funds to move to the City where Hoshi would have access to some of the best education in the world, as well as training in using her abilities.

Though reluctant to leave their home and family in America, Hoshi’s parents did want what was best for her, and so ultimately accepted the offer, moving to Japan when she was about seven years old. Though much of her time was spent being scrutinized by researchers and scientists upon arriving, she managed to do well in school and progress in the use of her abilities quite nicely.

As time went on, the trips to the research facilities decreased somewhat in frequency, though they still do happen, and Hoshi managed to reach the category of a Level 4 Esper shortly after entering middle school. In short, her life became more or less normal for a student living in Academy City, although she doesn’t and hasn’t ever participated in the Power Curriculum Program offered by the Academy due to the researchers’ fears that it will “contaminate” their research.

Esper Power: Hoshi’s ability is formally known as Heliokinesis, though she refers to it as Star Burst, which is the ability to absorb and manipulate solar energy. In addition to being able to unleash blasts of solar energy at her opponents to knock them away, often giving them mild or moderate sunburns in the process, Hoshi boasts immunities to heat, light, and radiation. It is also possible for her to concentrate her blasts of solar energy into a laser of sorts to increase its damage, the tradeoff being that it’s a lot less of effective when dealing with multiple opponents.

Hoshi can also, to an extent, manipulate light and heat around her, as they are extensions of solar energy. This control is weak at best, however, and, given the abundance of sunlight, largely unnecessary. It’s important to note that she is also able to absorb artificial light and heat, as well, though it is much more inefficient than absorbing sunlight, which means it’s usually only used during periods of time where the sun is inaccessible, such as a string of really cloudy days.

Interestingly enough, Hoshi’s constantly emits small amounts solar energy, primarily in the visible spectrum, making her bioluminescent to an extent. While this quite noticeable during the night, it’s an effect that is washed out by other, brighter light sources during the day. If her bioluminescence is noticeable at all during the day, it’s in her hair and eyes, as they tend to shimmer just a bit with the colors of the rainbow, an effect that extends to her entire body during the night.

Speaking of night, it’s worth noting that Hoshi’s abilities are somewhat diminished when the sun sets, as she can only burn through the energy she had absorbed throughout the day. She can refuel, so to speak, on the light of other stars or the moon, preferably, during particularly clear nights, but it’s far from ideal.

Gaige escaped by having just been in a match against his twin, he was losing when the soldiers ordered his brother, Mark, to stand down. He replied with his magnetic power, pulling the guns away and turning them back at the soldiers.

That day Gaige made level three, in a desperate attempt to stop his brother he grabbed his chest and turned his skin to stone.

Name: Onodera Nagamasa (小野寺 長政)
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Grade: 1st Year, High School
School Name: Noriaki North
Organization: N/A
Esper Level: 4

Appearance:


Personality:
Ever since he was first ejected from his mother’s womb and left to plague upon the world of humanity, there have been three words common amongst Nagamasa’s beleaguered family, case workers and teachers in describing him: dickbag, delinquent and dilettante. At first glance, one may wonder why exactly this clean-cut seeming boy is deserving of such an … unsightly portrayal; such musings are immediately dashed upon interacting with him, for it is then that one is truly exposed to the endless ocean of restrained douchenozzlism that churns beneath the surface of his skin.

Nagamasa you see, may seem to be your average, rather unassuming hormonal teenage boy of fifteen, the fact is that he has utterly no respect whatsoever for the things that he doesn’t enjoy in life, which can range from neo-feudalistic plutocracies to hapless Level 0s (especially if they are affiliated with Skill-Out). It is due to this view of the world that he can so easily deliver shockingly venomous tongue-lashings with the same brevity of one’s attempt at ordering a Happy Meal from McDonalds, caring little for feelings of the people he tramples underneath. A contrarian of the highest caliber, he seems to be frequently finding himself into vamoosed into violent verbal variances with others, always poking away at other’s red buttons under the veneer of respectability that his smug smiles seem to provide.

What this hides, however, is the anger that boils within him, an anger at the world and society that has developed over time. Despite being a smug dick seventy-five percent of the time, he can be particularly broody and standoffish from week to week, responding to all who approach him with more biting sarcasm or venom than usually so. He modulates between states, one moment cheerily laying into you before bluntly explaining why he thinks you're only worthy of becoming worm food in one of the most dickish manners ever measured had there been a scale of obnoxious jackassery in existence (alongside certain individuals in his sphere of acquaintances).

As such, it is quite obvious to understand why he holds society in relative contempt, frequently refusing to attend class from time to time (and in the process generally avoiding truancy officers with remarkable skill and grace), and associating with the seedy lowlifes and gangs of Academy City in his free time. Indeed, his delinquency is a defining feature many associate with him, which involves slacking off, violence and whatever flavour of the month crime seems to be most appealing for the month. School for him is really an afterthought, one that he attends when he feels like it (which is when people start remembering he should be present).

His laissez-faire attitude, however, is not merely limited to school. As mentioned prior, the teenage boy is especially dilettantish, engaging himself in all forms of activity only to drop them when they begin to bore him. While it had provided him with quite a breadth of knowledge that he leverages to his advantage from to time, this “serial hobbyist” nature, a hedonistic search for simply greater pleasure no matter what it entails, has not been one he has put effort into, with much of his engagements, like his education, a seeming afterthought. It’s as if he is simply going through the motions, leaving his due diligence abandoned in a disused alleyway far from home.

Surprisingly, Nagamasa is also quite a spiritual person, subscribing to the beliefs of Anglican Christianity (his family possessing a long history of affiliating with the Church beginning in the Taishō period). His religion serves as one of his moral foundations, though since his descent into greater criminality, has viewed it with a resigned sense of understanding that yes, his actions may be unjust, but he simply does not care. However, the loyalty and trust he gives to those who truly connect with him, and the mercy and charity that he can display from time to time, are traits of his that have been drilled into him from birth, and the few instances of any engagement in social work, while still as lackluster as much of what else he does, is how he tries to reconcile his wish to also be a good Christian.

Biography:
A native of Yokohama, Japan, Onodera Nagamasa was born to rather unfortunate circumstances - a family stricken by poverty after unwise investment decisions made by his father, who descended into a deep depression soon after, while his mother’s sickly health worsened as their conditions did so. Growing up, he knew little of familial love, with both his parents having dedicated themselves to their work so that the household finances, having dropped dramatically following his birth, would not stagger into even greater disarray.

It would be this awkward, distant lifestyle that he continued late into elementary school, where he first began his delinquent ways. Despite attempts to rein him in, the boy grew even more rebellious, refusing to submit to the authority of his parents or teachers. It would be a situation that worsened upon the death of his mother, for, while their relationship had been a cool one, he had respected her presence, and her death had also brought even greater pain to his father. Their relationship deteriorated at an even greater magnitude, and soon enough Nagamasa began to act out, seeking freedom from the home life that suffocated him so.

He found his refuge in the Power Curriculum Program, leaving Yokohama for Academy City upon successfully unlocking his abilities. It was an exhilarating experience, being independent from the authority of his old school and his parents. Yet this … was not to last, and he fell into the habit of utilising his powers for his own selfish advantage, frequently skipping out on classes he didn’t enjoy to engage in his criminal hobbies. No matter what his new teachers tried, he kept hiding away, safe in the abilities granted by his Esper status.

Life now for Nagamasa, it seems, consists mostly of beating up any thugs that seek to usurp his sphere of influence, as well as attending classes that he actually enjoys (having left the others to his school textbooks).

Esper Power:
Nagamasa’s ability is named Hidden Boundary, which provides him with the capability to hide his presence from other people. It is both an active and passive power, making use of the effects of AIM fields to either stop people from realising his existence by stimulating the memory pathways of the brain into reading any signals involving him as errors when in its active state, or disrupt the Normal Reality to reduce his noticeability and distinctiveness, generating what can be essentially described as a SEP field that interferes with the short-term memory banks of others.

The active state of his power is immense in its range thanks to the large “control area” provided by his AIM field generation, which means that he essentially “never existed” for the duration of his power in work. The magnitude of this effect is variable, and the greater the number of people he affects the more of a toll it takes upon his body. When it wears off, however, the residual AIM disruption continues to exist for a temporary time, and people will therefore take some effort to actually remember that he is an existing being.

Skills:
As a delinquent, Nagamasa has involved himself in a number of spats and fights, and has grown into a remarkably skilled brawler and knifefighter. His dilettantish tendency to involve himself in all sorts of activities has also provided with him a breadth of knowledge that he can make use of.

Equipment:

Name: Asuka Amamiya
Gender: Female
Age: 14
School Grade: 2nd grader, middle school
School Name: Sakuraginohara Junior High
Organization: None
Esper Level: 4

Appearance: pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=mediu..
The school's uniform is composed of a black skirt, white blouse, red tie and a black blazer.

Personality: Despite her feminine appearance, Asuka is a friendly and cheerful tomboy, with her main interest being driving, either inside games or real cars via her ability. However, she does have an interest in cute objects and such, although she definitely wants to hide that from others, although her reaction to being talked about it is simply blushing brightly. She does anything absolutely necessary to stop any instances of bullying even if she isn't involved in it in any ways whatsoever. She also prefers to bring smiles to her close friends if possible.
Bio: Born in Japan by the natives, Asuka was a perfectly normal person unless one considered a tomboy as an unnatural trait, which her parents didn't. Aside from his father being a professional racer, there was nothing unusual to herself or her family. However, her life changed as her parents heard of other parents sending their children to Academy City so they could stand out from the usual ones just like her, and her parents planned to send her to the city once she enters an elementary school.

At the academy, she initially joined a low-level school to see how her level would increase, which was a surprisingly fast process for her. Although she initially considered her power useless, she found that it wasn't when she could play games from afar after inserting a coin, but the need for coins has disappeared as he trained her powers more.

Esper Power: Remote Crack - Asuka is capable of controlling and cracking into multiple computers from distance of about 2km maximum, but she needs to target the general location of the computer(s) with a laser pointer while thinking of what the location is. She can also fool sensor-based systems. (As an example of "general location", "a certain car" or "a certain room" would be considered as a general location, but "a certain building" wouldn't.)

Skills: Driving (both inside games and not), Normal hacking, Running

Equipment: Two near 1kW red laser pointers and a smartphone

Other: None for now

Name: Miyako Tsurara
Gender: Female
Age: 14
School Grade: 14, 2nd year middle school
School Name: Nagatenjouki
Organization: GROUP
Esper Level: 4

Appearance: Here we go

Personality:
While Miyako is usually relaxed and laid back as what most people see, she's not really a laid back person as what most thinks. For starters, she overthink things too much and always try her best to prepare with a fluid plan but will scrap it anyway and contradicts her statements depending on what it is, contrary of breaking the cliche of ice, she's easily hot tempered. She is quite aloof and reluctant to acknowledge certain people unless she thinks that they deserve it. Miyako goes her own separate way and does not like to meddle with other people's affairs because she finds it uncool and bothersome not unless it is an urgent need.

She also have punchlines and even puns that relates to the cold, it comes naturally and she doesn't even mean it which makes her comically serious. Quotes that follow are irony such as when an Ice Esper like her not liking the cold and ice puns.

Bio:
Born from a line of family of police in Hokkaido, Miyako is taught and disciplined in a police oriented environment, it was bittersweet as she both dislikes and likes it, either way she's not able to decide whether if it is her own destiny or a destiny that someone else destiny imposed on her. Since she was a child she is bounded to her family's tradition of carrying on the police, she knew her family but not entirely. In general, she strives to honor her family and being proclaimed herself someone with high honor, she seize her goal to be in Academy City whether she like it or not and the rest, is history.

Esper Power:
Winter Sonata
In short, it is cryokinesis. Her personal reality is built solely on manipulation of ice and to some degree, its properties such as turning it into hail, casting snow, cold wind, decreasing the temperature, and giving form/shape to ice. She is able to freeze flames but not stronger ones. It is noted that her AIM releases a cooling effect. She achieved level 4 due to the power curriculum however the consequences were downing, the consequences of her power makes her not so good with hot temperatures much to like how Accelerator is an albino; her body temperature is not "cool" with heat meaning sensitive to temperature that is 30 degrees Celsius and above. That said, summertime and the scorching heat is bad for her.

As a fighter, Miyako prefers spamming projectiles of ice from a distance and shielding herself with a Cryokinetic Aura, that of a reflector. It is a cryokinetic shield with thermal diffusion properties that freezes anything upon contact much to like Kinuhata Saia's offense armor. She has to activate it manually as it is not automatic. Furthermore it is not an invincible defense as heat is enough to pierce her defense and it can't instantly freeze something bigger nor can it reflect as well. It is basically freeze upon contact.

Skills:
Infiltration, she's good at getting in but not getting out.
Playing the piano.
Cooking.
Swimming. Played for laughs, she'll just freeze her way through.

Equipment:
She always brings a lollipop that stabilizes her body temperature. These lollipops are developed by AC's power developers.

Other:
Her character is inspired by Kinuhata Saiai

Name: Satoshi Kuroda
Gender: Male
Age: 15
School Grade: 3rd Grade Middle School
School Name: Crystal River Academy
Organization: None yet
Esper Level: 3

Appearance:

(He’s a blonde, fyi)

Personality: Satoshi’s personality can vary depending on present company. In the company of a superior, he keeps his tongue in check and speaks respectfully, even if he lacks any form of respect for that person. Around others, he’ll be polite, though not deferential, but will take the opportunity to make fun of someone if they provide him with a good enough reason. When he is more familiar with someone, he will drop the polite talk, though he’ll continue to speak his usual refined speech. If he’s with someone he’s particularly fond of making fun of, he will carry on making fun of them the whole time he’s with them, and it will take exceptional circumstances to make him stop.

Satoshi is usually up for anything he thinks will be fun, and won’t turn down an invitation from anyone who he isn’t particularly averse to hanging around. Even though he will likely come across sounding pretentious to people that listen to him talk, he’s actually quite flippant and likes nothing more than to just relax and mess around.

Bio: Satoshi’s family were once a wealthy noble family. However, by Satoshi’s generation, they have long since lost their fortune and few in Japan would have even heard of them, though they maintain a comfortable if not extravagant lifestyle. In spite of this, Satoshi’s father has always been reluctant to give up on his legacy and continues to pretend that the Kuroda family “means” something to Japan. He particularly heaped all his hopes and expectations upon Satoshi, pushing him to succeed where he had failed himself. Satoshi grew to resent his father and his pretensions to nobility.

When his father caught wind of Academy City, he decided to have Satoshi sent there to see if he had potential, hoping for him to become a prominent Esper. Satoshi did demonstrate the ability to control the air around him, and was eventually classified a level 3 Esper. His father was not satisfied with this, and continues to push Satoshi to develop his powers further. Satoshi simply hopes to get through his education and pursue a much simpler life, far from his family.

Esper Power: Aerokinesis

Skills: Satoshi has always been an excellent student and has had a variety of useless knowledge about high culture drilled into him.

Equipment: He always has the best phone available; one of the few benefits of belonging to his family.

Name: Motoharu Karasawa
Gender: Male
Age: 16
School Grade: (1st year High Schooler)
School Name: (Noriaki North (aka Noriaki West's High School edition))
Organization: (Noriaki North, Class 1-B)
Esper Level: 2
Appearance: The man pictured here. Standing at a full 5'11, Motoharu towers over most kids his age, when combined with his natural scowl and coarse manner of speech, cuts him as an intimidating figure to most upon first impression. A bit lanky after his somewhat recent growth spurt, he is still however composed of lean, powerful muscle, having that wiry "street rat who gets in a fight in the time it takes for you to close your eyes during a blink" sort of deal going. Face carries features that would likely be handsome in a way were they not so prone to being in the middle of looking the part of a delinquent. Perhaps the most identifying feature, though, is that slick, impeccably groomed black pompadour, a style he takes great pride in wearing. Standard black school uniform most days, buttonage varying but rarely fully closed, exposing the white undershirt beneath. Favors orange-tinted shades whenever possible (all the damn time).

Personality: Not one to mince words in many situations, Motoharu will speak his mind early and often. A lot of him is almost stereotypical in regards to your average Japanese delinquent: Dry sense of humor, lack of respect for authority unless he deigns it "earned", lax attitude on responsibility, nigh-allergic to school but chooses to suffer through it anyway... the list goes on. Has a big temper, a big mouth, and, despite appearances, a big heart as well. Underneath all those rough and rowdy outer layers, Motoharu is a genuinely decent guy, who looks out for his friends as if they were family, holds his family in high regard (mostly), and has a solid stance on right and wrong, despite knowing he himself isn't the golden boy of it by any means. Keeping with the theme of not being merely what you see at first glance, while he may act simple and straightforward, he is capable of more cunning than he lets on.

Bio: A good kid who fell into the wrong crowd in his 2nd year of middle school, leading to tension with his parents which was exacerbated by his elder sister, once a guiding force in his life, leaving to study in Academy city. I'm sure you all know the story. Dropping grades, coming home with "some explained, others not" bruises and scrapes, calls detailing declining respect in the classroom... Things eventually got to the point that somehow, through what would undoubtedly be an insane and hard-to-believe tale, he got shipped off to Academy city, in his onee-san's wake. Wild times we live in. Perhaps the rationale was "he can't run from school if it's literally surrounding him", but we'll probably never know. All we know now is that he's here, with a full head of steam.

Esper Power: Power named Steam Engine. Allows him, to a fair degree, to control and create steam utilizing both the moisture in his body, the air around him, and maybe even nearby pools of water should he be lucky enough or resourceful enough to find one, either emitting it from his pores and orifices or from one of the aforementioned outside sources in a 75m radius.

Skills: Beat the hell out of anyone who looks at him funny, run a mile however damn fast he feels like it, appreciate beautiful women, stick to his guns like a true hero, intimidate most people through looks alone, "not being a bad guy once you get to know him, really", well-versed in hair care. Passingly knowledgable in Jujitsu.

Equipment: Fists, feet, aluminum baseball bat, can of hairspray, comb, zippo lighter, phone.
Other: I'll find a theme song or something eventually

Name: Aya Azuma (我妻彩)
Gender: Female
Age: 15
School Grade: Middle School Third-Year
School Name: Nagatenjouki
Organization: None
Esper Level: 3

Appearance:


Personality: If "haraguro" could be summed up in one person, Aya would be that girl. To the average person you'd pass by in the hallway, she's a well-mannered, diligent student always willing to help out anyone in need. Her slightly-inquisitive nature occasionally leads her to chase after rumors and poke her nose into other people's business, but all in all, she'd be what you call "ordinary". Catch Aya alone, though, and you'll find that things...aren't so pretty. In secret, she delights in the suffering of others, often using her esper ability to push those around her into the way of trouble. Twicefold for those who have wronged her in the past - she's not one to forget grudges. Aya's innate hatred of males also feeds this sadism, as she'll sometimes unconsciously use her ability on them without realizing it.

When around *exceptionally* cute girls, though, Aya grows exceedingly subservient and flustered, stumbling over each word that comes out of her mouth. That doesn't mean she won't mess with them, though - she enjoys seeing them suffer, too. It just makes them even cuter♡

Bio: Aya was born the illegitimate child of a high-ranked researcher in Academy City, her father's identity and whereabouts unknown. Nevertheless, she was completely fine with this, and lived a fulfilling childhood with her mother, Mayumi, who swore never to involve her daughter with her research. As Mayumi started coming home later and later, however, Aya's curiousity got the better of her, and she begged her mother to take her along to work. There, she found her mother conducting illegal experiments on test subjects, using methods based off of Kihara Gensei's research. Mayumi believes that overloading espers is the only true way of unlocking Level 6, by pushing them to their limits and beyond.

Upon learning this fact, Aya came to her mother's lab much more frequently, often volunteering to assist with experiments (she enjoys those particularly) but never actually taking part herself. She still doesn't know the full details of what exactly her mother's doing, but boy, is it fun.

Esper Power: Terror Propagation - Aya is capable of triggering specific glands in the brain which induce fear. This can range from simply triggering nightmares in a roommate to causing visual/auditory hallucinations and nervous breakdowns in more weak-willed individuals. Her ability also has more immediate uses, such as causing an attacker's hands to shake while firing a gun, or paralyzing a fleeing enemy. However, the nature of such an ability can also work against her, triggering the fight-or-flight response - an increase in adrenaline also causes improved physical performance. Her ability has an effective range of approximately 10 yards, strengthening with proximity and reaching its full potential with physical contact.

Skills: Karaoke, reading, chess, gaming, torture making people suffer

Equipment: Flip phone, pocket knife

Name: Tommy Woo / Wu Fuwei (吳 福威)
Gender: Male
Age: 16
School Grade: 1st Year High School
School Name: Noriaki North
Organization: Woodles - Woo Family Noodles
Esper Level: 0

Appearance:

Personality: Tommy Woo’s most defining trait is by far his diligent work ethic. From a young age, the elder Mr. Woo instilled in his only child the importance of hard work and perseverance. In all things Tommy strives to give 210% because a 110 is not good enough. This work ethic is what enabled Tommy to master the skills he possesses for he has never been blessed with any sort of innate talent. Nevertheless, despite Tommy’s hard earned abilities, Tommy prefers not to draw attention to them or himself. He likes to keeps his head down and focus only on his duties, having others turn their attention to him feels like unneeded intrusion.

Similarly he is extremely reluctant to fight and is thus rather quick in his attempts to defuse a situation with self deprecation and humor. It is not uncommon for Tommy Woo to deliver multiple warnings and explanations to any would be attackers. Dangerous around ladders, babies, etc. voiced by terrible dub of Christopher Walken over Jackie Chan (Sample: vocaroo.com/i/s1klXnnwHydk (Voice work by the esteemed HereComesTheSnow) ) Finally the needs of the customer comes first in all things and he will assist them in any way he can.

Bio: If their espers are artificial diamonds, then the Gemstones are natural ones. That was how Academy City reasoned away the existence of these natural espers. Yet not all diamonds are created equal, while some can go for millions, others are cheaply sold for use in industry. These diamonds, known as borts, may sell for a measly 30 cents per carat, far from the luxury their companions enjoy. Thus it can be further reasoned that such borts may be a phenomenon that exists within Gemstones as well.

Enter Tommy Woo, a hapless newcomer to the city who has already been graced with an epithet, The Worthless Gem. Tommy's power is virtually non existent, and indeed may never have been discovered if not for a freak accident at the age of 14. The day started out like any other, young Tommy had just returned from his daily training at Ms. Zhang’s Fifth Street School of Wushu and Dance on 42nd and 3rd Street. As always he was immediately put to work helping with the family noodle business. His family had emigrated from Foshan, Guangdong, China to The Bronx when Tommy was merely 6 years old.

As Tommy was crafting new recipes for his mother and father he suddenly noticed his hands glowing green just as his father choked on some water for a split second. At first Tommy did not piece the two events together, however further experimentation soon revealed that at 00:52 EST each night, when Tommy’s hands glowed people stopped breathing for a fraction of a fraction of a second. This new discovery changed the course of Tommy’s life.

When he first revealed his newfound power to his parents, his savvy father saw the potential for a whole new world of business. Always well informed about the world, Tommy’s father had heard of a little place in Japan called Academy City where such powers were commonplace. Thus his shred father immediately shipped him off to Academy City in hopes that he might nurture this gift and further promote their family noodle business: Woodles. At first researchers greeted Tommy with open arms, as their preliminary tests revealed large amounts of AIM emanating from his body, a key trait for Gemstones. However that was the extent of Tommy's specialness as his power is so worthless that it could only be qualified as a Level 0.

Thus continued Tommy's story of crippling debt.

Now stuck in Academy City, Tommy continues his father’s wishes using a motorbike he received from his Uncle to deliver Woodles’ noodles to all customers in need for only a measly 200 yen. However when he’s not cooking or on deliveries, Tommy makes sure to keep up in his studies at Noriaki North where he has somehow remained unnoticed by his peers, although rumors of a unique Gemstone Transfer student run rampant. Still, no one has realized that this student is merely the weak Level 0 Tommy.

Oh and Tommy still makes sure to check in weekly via Skype to continue his lessons in Kung Fu with Ms. Zhang.

Esper Power: Level 0 Auto Asphyxiation - As a Gemstone, Tommy is in possession of a power that has eluded the explanation of researchers. However, this is due in large part to how incalculable it is due to its reliance on arbitrary limitations. At precisely 13:52 AST(Academy Standard Time), Tommy is capable of stopping the breath of any person he sees for precisely .0032 seconds. As one can imagine, this power is useless. In addition, Tommy claims that his hands glow green everytime he activates his power, however no researcher or outside observer has ever been able to verify this claim.

Skills: As a result of his hard work and persistence, Tommy Woo is an excellent chef specializing in the many options provided by Woodles’ Noodles. Working as their only driver has also made him quite adept at zig-zagging through rush hour traffic ensuring the speedy deliver of his goods. Years of training have also left Tommy Woo adept at Southern Style Kung Fu and Dance. Other than that, Tommy Woo’s only real skills exist in his ability to work hard and think on his feet to best serve his customer.

Equipment: Tommy Woo has an assortment of cooking utensils that leaves at home. Other than these prized utensils and the motorbike loaned to him by his Uncle, Tommy is remarkably lacking in personal goods due to his crippling debt. His motorcycle is a Honda CD 70 the workhorse of Asia.

Name: Isao Kurosawa
Gender: Male
Age: 20
School Grade: 2nd Year, University Student
School Name: 無津源大学 (Mutsugen University)
Organization: Various establishments he works at.
Esper Level: 4

Appearance: (I'll probably draw that... Soon.)

Personality: Isao is a fairly normal guy, he enjoys watching TV, plays fighting games, is pretty okay at studies, he gets by. He dislikes inconveniences, he likes junk food, he helps people whenever he can, and when he's really just not in the mood he minorly abuses his powers. The only reason he hasn't used it a lot or tried very hard to advance it was because he has no idea what he'd even do with his powers anyway, not to mention the people overseeing him keep pushing him to train and advance them, but he don't care.

Bio: For much of Isao's life, he wasn't an Esper, in fact it wasn't until Highschool when he was enrolled into Academy City that he was identified as one, and he instantly became a focus of interest. He is one of the rare cases of a Gemstone, a naturally occurring Esper, rather than one raised and trained in Academy City. What was most interesting to scientists though, was not the fact he was a gemstone, but more the fact of what his powers were. Ever since childhood he had been subconsciously rewriting some events even just a little bit to suit himself, but they were never too drastic that they would be noticed. Basically, his powers are near undetectable.

When he enrolled into Academy City, he was pretty happy with the place, but after learning about his powers some more, he was a little afraid of it. Sure it was useful, he was strong enough in it that he can use it to avoid harm from standard day to day grievances or in a fight against normal people, but what was the extent? That scared him a bit. In any case, he's managed to avoid having it become very powerful so far... But can he keep it that way?

Esper Power:
Causal Rewrite: Scientists who have studied this believe this is the most pure form of "Personal Reality", an integral part of every Esper's mind and mindset. To expand one's Personal Reality means to have greater calculating ability. Causal Rewrite oppresses other Personal Realities with it's own, and forces a new outcome for their calculations. As a result, this ability allows the user to rewrite events as they happen, for instance he can rewrite a punch directed at him to simply miss, or in more malicious events, strike themselves. It works against machinery too, in fact it's easier, he can rewrite a currently occurring function malfunction for instance, his power is incredibly versatile but also very defensive as it appears to have no offensive attributes. The full extent is unknown, as it is still at a such low level. Of course, if the attacks directed at him are too strong for his level, then he simply can't affect them or can't affect them much. How quickly he can change the properties of what is coming at him depends on his level. For instance if he is lower level, he can probably redirect a blast directed at him to swerve a little out of his way. Observation has served to discover that this ability has experienced spikes in power depending on how selfish the user is.

AIM Field Effects: The AIM field that is given off dampens the effects of other people's Esper abilities while around him. It is theorized that if he is a high enough level, he can cancel out weaker Esper's AIM fields entirely.

Skills: He works a job a convenience store, and did self defense a little bit when he was in middle school.

Equipment: Nothing out of the ordinary.

Other: Unsure yet.
