Akihabara. There was a time, back when Sora was in high school, that he spent almost every minute he wasn’t training to become a hero here. And who could blame him? Video games, anime and manga, clothes… everything a teen could want! Just standing in the busy, bustling streets, all abuzz with countless people going every which way, felt nostalgic to him. This was a sort of crowd he didn’t mind; Sora usually preferred things quieter and less busy, but there were so many people here it was unlikely many paid him any mind. That said, Sora wasn’t here for pleasure today. Well, not in the sense of shopping or browsing. Instead he had gotten a surprise call from a former schoolmate of his; Kazashi, a girl in the year below him back when he attended UAU. They weren’t exactly joined at the hip in those days, but they hung out once in a while. Usually with other classmates in the mix. Apparently, when she heard that Sora had returned from America she decided to call him up and offered to go on a patrol together. Sora had no reason to say no; it would be nice to catch up to someone he knew, since everything seemed so different after only a couple years. Plus she could help him get reacquainted with Tokyo again; a win for business, and a win for his social life to boot! At the moment Sora was dressed in his hero costume, which really didn’t look all that different from normal clothes besides the goggles around his neck, partially hiding the charm necklace he wore, and the furry hood of his jacket. He hoped Kazashi would recognize him okay; he didn’t think he had changed much in the years he was gone, but Sora never was good about noticing his own growth or changes. He lifted the goggles to his eyes, activating the hud so he could test it while he waited. Sora blew gently, straight up so as not to disturb anybody nearby. “Wind speed for short breath: 22 miles per hour. Tracking system is fully functional Sora.” Spoke the voice of the goggles’ AI, ASIA, to the young man. Only he could hear her thanks to the goggles, even it the crowd wasn’t so huge and noisy. He nodded, satisfied, and pulled the goggles back down around his neck as he leaned back against the wall until Kazashi arrived. Kazashi McCoy

It was nice to have some downtime for once. Sora didn’t have any job at the moment besides his hero work, which took up much of his time already. But combining that with him moving back to Japan, finding and moving into a house, and just getting used to Japan again after so long in America, he was glad for the break. No good came from trying to work every second of every day. Sora was wearing a simple outfit; a black t-shirt beneath a grey jacket and a baggy pair of faded jeans supported by a belt. He wore a pair of aviator sunglasses over his eyes, a comfortable pair of sneakers on his feet, and his treasured charm necklace around his neck. Truthfully it wasn’t all too different from his actual hero outfit, though it was less fancy looking. He was quite certain most wouldn’t recognize him even if he did wear his hero outfit, at least not yet. But better to be safe than sorry. As for what drew Sora to this particular part of Tokyo, it was a delicious scent that caught his nose. Having a powerful sense of smell was both a blessing and a curse at times, but at this point he was thankful for it. Tea. That was definitely what he was smelling after a fortunate breeze carried the scent his way. He wasn’t an avid drinker or aficionado of tea, but it was a pretty common beverage for the young hero. A nice way to soothe his throat after a long patrol or using his Quirk especially often. Eventually he followed the smell all the way to a humble but well-maintained tea shop. He looked up at the door and over at the window. It seemed to be open. Sora slowly opened the door, peaking his head in as he slid the sunglasses up onto his head, pulling his hair back in the process. “Room for one more?” He asked as he stepped inside, looking around for whoever worked there. damian

It was a nice day. Beautiful, even. The sort of day that made Sora glad to be back home; while he had loved his time back in America, it felt almost liberating for him to be back in Tokyo after so long away. So much had changed during his absence, and yet so much had stayed the same. Both with the city, and with Sora himself. Sora was currently walking out of a local sweets shop, having been feeling a little peckish after an early morning patrol. He wanted to get back on track with the time difference, so he was a little dreary but otherwise ready and waiting. While some people he had met thus far recognized him, mostly it was just people who would see him regularly during his days as a student. That, combined with his rather mundane hero costume, made it pretty easy for the uninformed to miss the fact that he was even a hero at all! Of course, he was fine with that for the time being; Sora dislikes being the center of attention, so blending into the crowd was nice. Though he did know that he would need to start being a bit more public if he truly wanted to make a name for himself as a hero. Back in New York, his accomplishments made him a familiar face and name. It was nice to know that his presence alone was enough to ease the minds of civilians, and deter criminals. But here, he felt like he had a long way to go bedore he regained that level of notoriety. “Thanks for the pastries, sir!” He called to the man who ran the sweets shop, who waved absentmindedly since he was busy with other customers. Sora was taking the last few bites of his donut when he noticed an electronics store nearby, with a bunch of tvs up in the window. A news report was on. “All citizens are advised to stay clear of the road! A car was stolen and is currently attempting to shake the police by driving through the crowded streets of Tokyo!” Spoke a reporter, the report also having overhead footage from a news helicopter following the offending car. Sora looked at the roads and stores visible in the footage, and his eyes widened. He had just passed these stores on his way to the shop… it was heading this way! Immediately Sora switched back to Hero mode, putting on his goggles in preparation for the car’s arrival. He cupped his hands to his mouth, wanting his voice to carry as far as it could. “EVERYBODY OFF THE STREETS!! THERE’S A STOLEN CAR COMING DOWN THE ROAD!!” He shouted, causing a bunch of heads to turn his way. Though he didn’t look much like a hero besides the distinctive goggles covering his eyes, Sora’s voice carried enough authority and urgency that people quickly began to get onto the sidewalk, the particularly cautious squeezing into alleyways for extra security. Sora stepped into the middle of the road, inhaling deeply as he awaited the stolen car. He stood strong and ready, eyes straight ahead as he braced himself. Either it’d head straight towards him or swerve around… either way, it wasn’t going to get away from Neptune. Jackie Maradona

Sora, while quite friendly and polite, is also rather quiet most of the time unless among friends. He dislikes being the center of attention, being rather shy. Sora enjoys company, however. He just doesn’t like being surrounded by strangers. Despite this he is nothing but encouraging to the hopeful and supportive of the dreamers, making it a point to try and empathize with everyone he meets. But while Sora is very kind, he is also known for his pragmatism; in work both mundane and heroic alike, he seeks to end issues as quickly and efficiently as possible. Those who know him personally will also be familiar with his surprisingly frequent snark and sarcasm. Sora’s pragmatism also gives him a surprisingly lax view of Vigilantism, though he keeps this to himself for the most part. He understands that sometimes the law can obstruct true justice, and is thankful for those willing to step beyond the border. But those who go too far can expect no mercy. There’s a fine line between what’s right, and what’s convenient. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]APPEARANCE » HEIGHT: 5’10” » WEIGHT: 183 lbs » EYE COLOR: Pale green » HAIR COLOR: Black with streaks of grey » SKIN COLOR: Pale » FACE CLAIM NAME: Hisui Hearts » FACE CLAIM SERIES: Tales of Sora stands fairly tall with a messy, unstyled head of black hair with grey streaks. He has pale green eyes, almost grey. When it comes to clothing, Sora prefers practicality and comfort above style and fashion. He typically wears loose-fitting, baggy clothes that cover most of his skin, regardless of if he’s in his hero outfit or not. Sora’s goggles were quite iconic during his time in America, more or less becoming his signature item. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]HISTORY Born and raised in Tokyo, Sora is the son of a famous top heroine, Sonia Boom, and a well known but retired support item specialist, Kendrick. He also has an adopted older sister, Aella, who also went into work as a hero. So it was no surprise that Sora, like many children, dreamed of being a hero himself as a boy. To this end he trained with his family constantly whenever not in school, pushing the limits of his Quirk whenever possible. He had but one constant friend; a girl named Shinokame, who also dreamed of being a hero and would train with him. When Sora was 12, a fire broke out in the antique shop his father runs. It was an attempt at vengeance by a villain Sora’s mother had repeatedly tangled with. Sora was able to save his sister, the two of them having been put in charge for the day while their parents went out, using his Quirk to clear enough of the smoke for them to escape, though he was hospitalized for a time due to overexerting his Quirk. But Shinokame, who had been helping out, had disappeared in the fire. Once discharged Sora resumed his training, redoubling his efforts. He had learned in the hospital that the villain who set the fire had gotten off without punishment due to holding a powerful legal position. Sora wanted to bring the man to justice, but his parents and sister were fortunately able to instill in him a disdain for vengeance. Sora attended UA University once he was old enough, just as his parents and sister did. It was during this time, after acquiring his provisional hero license, that Sora discovered that Shinokame had become a vigilante. And what’s more, she had killed the villain who almost killed he and his sister. The revelation gave Sora mixed feelings, as he was glad that the man had finally got what was coming to him. But he was also sad for his friend’s chosen path. His sadness worsened later, when he learned on the day that he graduated that his friend had been killed. Afterwards, Sora felt despondent. He was physically ready to begin his hero work, but mentally unprepared. Confiding in his family, the decision was made that he would travel to America, home of his father and where his sister had moved to open her own hero agency. He would work with her, learning the ropes of professional heroism and facing his issues over time. During his time in America, Sora grew both as a hero and as a person, facing many powerful enemies. He defeated Don Blood, a crime lord feared throughout New York, as well as playing an integral role in taking down the Circus of Man, an organization that used people with Mutation quirks as attractions in an underground circus for the top dogs of the criminal world. Now, several years later, Sora returns to Japan. He aims to move on, and to put his learning into practice in memory of his friend. Though his reputation in America wouldn’t fully follow him back home, he still plans on blowing everyone away. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]ITEMS A black smartphone with a simple green and white case. A pair of aviator sunglasses for when he doesn’t have his goggles. A necklace decorated with small silver charms, each referencing an important person in his life (a turtle for Shinokame, a helmet based after his mother’s hero helmet, a recreation of his father’s support item brand, and a zipper pull for his sister).

Limit Breakers: 12 Available | 0/45 Used [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]EQUIPMENT EQUIPMENT NAME: ASIA EQUIPMENT RANK: C EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER: Wire EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: A special pair of high-tech goggles designed to be use by Sora while on the field. ASIA (Atmosphere Status Indicating Apparatus) serves the dual purpose of protecting his eyes from any debris stirred up by battle or his wind, as well as monitoring the environment around him. Specifically it keeps track of precisely how strong the winds he’s emitting are so he can better make fine adjustments to his output and input, as well as detecting harmful substances in the air that he can cleanse with his Quirk. At C rank, ASIA can detect more typical air pollution, such as flammable gases or airborne toxins. Ideally, future upgrades would allow for ASIA to recognize airborne Quirks used against Sora in the past, allowing him to better respond to such threats. ASIA was developed by an American tech-focused hero known as Wire that Sora worked with. The goggles are equipped with an artificial intelligence who responds to the name Asia, who Sora can speak to in order to access information. She only knows what the goggles themselves do, but bouncing his thoughts off of someone helps Sora think and strategize. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]QUIRK QUIRK NAME: Iron Lungs QUIRK RANK: S QUIRK TYPE: Emitter QUIRK DESCRIPTION:
Sora’s Quirk grants him the ability to release and absorb massive quantities of air from his mouth and nose by breathing; in other words, it gives him super breath. Sora can regulate the power of his breath to a great extent, allowing him to blow air like a normal person or release winds powerful enough to uproot or smash through large buildings, and everything in between. This same level of force applies to his inhaling as well, allowing him to suck up air and pull objects and/or people towards himself. Having such powerful breathing, Sora is also able to pull in scents through his nose, allowing him to track people or things if he knows what they smell like. Sora also possesses the ability to “filter” the air that he breathes in order to make it breathable, removing harmful substances and pollutants. Mundane substances like flammable gases and smoke are easier, and he can even remove things such as conductive ions in the air to neutralize electricity, or oxygen to suffocate a threat. While filtering a substance, Sora cannot exhale until the process is complete unless he wants to release the harmful substance again. Thanks to his powerful breathing and filtration, Sora is also able to hold his breath for substantially longer than a majority of people. QUIRK DRAWBACKS:Sora’s breathing is powerful, but he needs to be able to breath in order to use it. Obstructions covering or blocking his mouth and/or nose can make it harder for him to breath. Irritants like dust and airborne substances he’s unaware of can also cause problems, upsetting his breathing or making him sneeze (both the inhale and exhale of which can be quite destructive if he doesn’t catch himself in time). And Sora also faces trouble if he isn’t careful with his breathe, potentially pulling large or dangerous objects towards himself if he isn’t careful. Similarly, while Sora can filter out tiny particles of pollutants, sucking up air also runs the risk of pulling in harmful objects; metal, shards of glass, splintered wood, etc. He can’t filter out such objects, which means they could injure his throat and lungs if inhaled. In addition, his powerful sense of smell can be used against him in a similar manner; powerful odors are quite hard on Sora. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]SKILLS SKILL NAME: Way of the Wind (Fighting Style) SKILL RANK: C+ SKILL DESCRIPTION: A unique fighting style developed by Sora in his school days, honed through his hero work. This fighting style takes advantage of his Quirk’s ability to push and pull opponents, being focused around keeping his enemies off balance to leave them vulnerable. While Sora can hit decently hard, particularly with clever use of his Quirk, the style is more focused on grapples, submission, and restraint than outright striking the enemy.
