Ikki needed to wash his face. He needed to clear the air. A damp cloth ran its way across his face, under his eyelids in particular. He looked tired as all hell. Shaken a little bit too. Just totally out of his depth. Having met Zaya was a real highlight for him though, and finding Dynogel's streams perked him up a little. One thing lead to another, and now he's here. What are we, some kind of Young Justice?
He more or less had on his usual costume for patrolling. A robin style mask that obscured his eyes and cheekbones. A skimpy vest to keep those motorcycle exhausts open. He wore track pants and padded track and field athlete shoes. He smelled faintly of Vanilla and chestnut. Maybe Kenta could tell he was around the corner.
"MM MM MM-MM-MM. TSK TSK TSK."
He circled the couch. Ikki, without asking, rolled over the back and laughed a little. "Bro, I'd never take down a fight vid. You gotta threaten them with a copyright strike in exchange for a cut of their ad revenue. They can fuck with the brand, don't let 'em fuck up your money." He had the biggest grin on his face he could muster. Ikki raised a hand, as if asking permission to throw it around Kenta and console him.

Ikki kept doing that thing with his tongue to pop his jaw out a little, model-esque. He angled his face towards the light, and looked pensive. Troubled. He didn't so much want a hero agency to find him, he wanted clothing sponsorships. Synical, Cyvist, M1420, Chrome Hearts. Lil bro's full of himself. Holly could very quickly and easily find pics of him with his family online, the eye mask wasn't doing much. Other, older pro-heroes with more effort put into their outfits too.
She was approaching, stopping just within arm's-reach. That prompted a few words from him. Things are still actively burning, but he's weirdly calm about it. That eye-mask shone in the amber light.
"Yeah, I... have my eye on a few, but it's a lotta goons and geeks on UA campus. They call me Two-Tone."
The distinct, brief revving of a bike sound rung out, Ikki making a lap around Holly. A flash of black, white, and amber. "If I asked for help, I'd still be alone. My friends are asleep right now, my uncle's retired, my cousin Yuu would kick my ass for askin'." He could feel something in the air. Something vaguely menacing. But Ikki knew good and well he'd have to handle it himself. Vaguely embarrassed by her flirting, he opted to just keep yapping until she tried something.

Despite the late hour, the near midnight where it would’ve been dead save for young professionals on bar crawls, the night was bright and young. Something didn’t seem right about that. Despite it all, Ikki approached it in the way a civilian would. He’d shopped for clothes earlier, and was looking for a late night snack. Black and white hair shining, as did his blue and amber eyes. He wore what looked like a streetwear style jacket with matching pants in blue. His eye-mask was in his back-pocket, just to obscure his eyes and cheekbones, a Robin sort of mask.
"... Hmm. Normally I’d text Yasu about somethin’ like this, but I’m a man about town. I run this shit."
He drew closer and closer to the light. What looked like an incredibly frail, sun-dodging young woman was there. By herself in Shinjuku, no less. It made him think about his manhunt with Zaya. Nothing important, just a stray thought he’d mutter under his breath. "…Maybe I should text her." A dumb, young man kind of thought, he prayed this woman was far away enough that she couldn’t hear him.
Nyx could hear the gentle hum of a motorcycle engine. An occasional rev, as a boy slipped a mask on, and moved to carry people out of the way of the growing flames. He was unequipped to put the molotov fire out, but evacuating civilians was doable. He’d yell and point a finger, posing with legs parted and his tongue at the roof of his mouth to make his jaw more pronounced, like a model would. His voice was young, almost a baritone. ”—What are you doin’."

Ikki’s costume, meanwhile, was a departure from those of their mark, and frankly anyone in his family she could find. Anyone with him or his mother’s last name had clear biker influences. Exhaust pipes on their joints of various sizes, their costumes inspired by motocross jumpsuits, or classic leather jacket and blue jeans fare.
"... I don’t just mean that, I mean being targeted when you’re off the clock and you need to rest. We’re safe because we’re at UA, that’s it."
Ikki led the two of them to the train station. As per usual, the Shinkasen came within minutes, and Ikki swiped a metro-card in his wallet. Zaya looked a bit tired, and he couldn’t help but look a little concerned. "I move fast, that’s it. —My uncle could even run on walls and water. I was a late bloomer, I’m not there yet." He said, looking at her up and down.
"... Sounds really strong. Look… if you have “too much”, I wouldn’t mind if you zapped me, or whatever. Just do it before we get there." The train came to its stop, letting the two off at the platform. It was cavernous, with stairwells and escalators going up. The walls were covered with ceramic tiles and concrete, in soft pastel blues and off-whites.
Ikki dug out his phone, pulling up an old picture. He was fifteen at the oldest, already sporting his dyed hair, and little eye-mask. He had a skateboard under his arm, with those Black Flag four rectangles painted on it. On either side of him were an older and taller man, with pipes going around a bare, barrel-chest with a denim vest loosely fit over it. That, and a boy maybe 17 years old. They both had black hair, and defined features like Ikki’s. Off to the side was what seemed to be his mom, in a full tracksuit with her dark hair cropped short in a wolf-cut. ”—That’s my cousin Yuu. We used to patrol with “Full Throttle”. Someone got the jump on us, and I got sent to the emergency room. Old man retired and started a podcast with the other boomers, Yuu and I went our own way."

Ikki could only ever escape into his phone, his hobbies, and his peers. If Yasu looked online, he'd see others in his extended family with similar quirks, similar costumes to the one he picked out. Moreover, Yasu would see some fight videos. Some real "this you?" material if Ikki got out of line.
In retrospect, it was embarrassing, on Ikki's part. He'd walked into the field a little while eyeing the camera. He could kind of see Yasu draw closer. When Yasu finally got close, they both moved to avoid a collision. He kind of deflated a little, walking over to take his phone off the top of the trash can, and pocket it. He returned, and tried to be a little more diplomatic. "I didn't mean to get in your way. I already made my mind up; I'm not running. I wanted some sun on me, and I dunno where the soccer pitch is. So I just wanna say, I'm sorry."
He was taken aback, watching Yasu cut himself off to argue with himself. He was confused, concerned even. "...Are you good? Should I come back later?" But it got him thinking. Maybe he couldn't run because he was distracted? Ikki was bored, and giving him a target to hit while training might lighten both their moods.
Ikki got to bouncing on the balls of his feet, limbering up. He nodded when Yasu introduced himself, and started to part his feet. Ikki gestured to a vending machine far off the pitch, by the entrance to the UA indoor gym. His eyes lit up, as he walked back onto the track. His calf-muscles tightened, and a gentle hum came from the small exhaust pipes on his calves.
"I saw that jog you did back there. Tell you what, Yasu. If you catch up to me, I'll buy you a drink."

Checking her phone was a smart move. Zaya could see right away, a few pictures geotagged in Shinjuku. Smallish shops, their mark trying on clothes. Ikki looked too, but it looked more like he was ogling a nice Boro jacket he wore. He thought for a moment. Yuu... I’m taking your coat AND your sneakers.
He lead with one foot, starting to turn. ¥57,000 jacket. A chance to see his cousin again.
Ikki smirked as Zaya introduced herself. His arms folded, and his eyes lit up. He looked impressed. "... Zaya? Is that your name? It’s awfully bold to not hide your name or identity." The eye mask was barely even trying. But it looked like the fig-leaf of the idea he was presenting.
"... The pictures tell us where he was, they’re all recent. Let’s start by getting into Shinjuku." Ikki fully turned, walking from the gate to the campus, towards the nearest stop on the Shinkansen. They’d have time to talk, sure, and trains came fairly often. ”—I hate to say it, but I’ll be happy to see him. If you have any questions, I’ll answer them."

Seemed pretty cut and dry, really. Really straightforward. The exact kind of case adults could leave to the students, really. It wasn’t even advertised in the building. A kid their age, about 20.
His deal was like that of a lot of people of their generation, the newest freshman class at UA. Went by “Café Racer” online, gave away the game with pictures geotagged in places where he was suspected to have been, alleged string of thefts and petty assaults. Stanced up with arms folded, big motorcycle style exhausts jutting out of his elbows, vest and shorts on. Black hair spiked up with stubble and amber eyes.
Right by the gate to the school, if Zaya got the memo and went out, she’d see someone who looked kinda like the guy. Ikki stood there, red button-down and jean-shorts, both cuffed to reveal motorcycle style exhausts, multiple small pipes jutting out of his calves and elbows. Little hello kitty band-aids all over his face and neck, one amber eye and one black one. Black eye-mask a la Robin.
His voice came out young and slightly deep, lowest you could get as a tenor. Smelled of vanilla and chestnut. "... I’m the new transfer student, Ikki’s fine, Two-Tone on the field." Ikki tugged at his collar comically, glancing at his phone and back at Zaya. He had a lot of explaining to do, and didn’t say a whole lot. He looked a little embarrassed by the whole thing. "…I know what it looks like."

The new transfer student. Ikki Mizuno. He wrote his name on the whiteboard. Everything about it screamed "water quirk, useful to society". But only UA administration knew they had a potential track-star on their hands. It was then and there that Ikki spent time on the field, where students often trained.
The only catch was, he wasn't training. He wasn't doing jack-shit, save for standing around in the navy-blue gym uniform on the field, near the outlines for running laps. His pantlegs were rolled up to his knees, his calves and triceps sporting multiple small exhausts like on a motorcycle or a car. Ikki had a dozen little hello-kitty style band-aids all over his face and neck. Just wait until these people saw his actual hero costume. He had his phone out, and found his way to a student group chat.
He set his phone nearby on a trash-can, and set it on a 10 second timer. Just long enough to post up with a mean glare on his face, tugging at his collar a little with an arm angled to flex his forearm muscle. "...Haven't seen nothin yet."
Some other students were actually running on the field, and nearly bowled him over, prompting Ikki to step aside. Step aside right next to another student. A boy with amber eyes, and more or less the same build as him. Ikki thumbed his nose at the students running, and tried to play it off.
"Are we still kids, or somethin'? Am I gonna walk through a kickball game next?"

Ikki thinks he’s the man. The boss. He’s cool and confident. While hero-ing, he’ll do the right thing at all costs, but it’s painfully clear that he has a darkness to him and may very well turn into a vigilante. He does the right thing as often as possible, but snaps at any mention of his parents, or heroes having a code of ethics. He’ll play by your rules, and complain the entire time. Ikki likes sports, particularly soccer and skateboarding. His small build and dexterity lend itself to that and tennis. He prides himself in what he does, and being right, and will go as far as learning a new skill like cooking so he never has to admit that he needs help, or he’s not good at something. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]APPEARANCE » HEIGHT: 5'4. » WEIGHT: 130 lbs. » EYE COLOR: Black, Amber. » HAIR COLOR: Black. » SKIN COLOR: Peach-like. » FACE CLAIM NAME: Sakura Haruka. » FACE CLAIM SERIES: Windbreakers. Ikki is slightly short, clocking in at 5'4. He's athletic but thin, about 130 lbs. His face is angular, with a defined jaw and cheekbones. He has natural black hair, as well as a black eye and an amber eye. Every three months, Ikki has an abundance of grey hairs, owing to a premature grey gene on both sides of the family. His black and white hair he shows to the public aren't the work of a stylist, but rather the mall-goth classic box-dye on either side, with no room for other colors or even the appearance of texture on the black half. His knuckles sport small but visible scars, rounded. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]HISTORY Ikki was born to two civilians. Quirkless, in fact. You could see the degradation in the respective families, on a long enough timespan. His father’s family went from being on the board at Honda to being assembly line workers as generations went on. His mother, raised by athletes and vigilantes, flat out missed the genetic lottery. The chance at his grandfather’s quirk; incredible speed in short bursts. When it came time to be tested and registered, Izumi Mizuno tested negative. Ikki’s home-life was simple, but not easy. Though he had that spark in him, his temperament at a young age made him hard to control. Ikki already developed an attitude by the age of ten, slacking and coasting off of high test scores. Dominating in soccer on campus, trying to start a skateboarding club for fun too on the side. All he really had to comfort himself was a kick, push. No part of that lied to him. Fights after school too. He didn’t always win, but fight videos often trended online. When enough was enough, and the economy slowly wavered, Ikki’s father lost patience. Raising this handful in the wake of the failed strike vote at work and marital problems was a tall order. He was sent off to live with his aunt and uncle, a registered nurse and hero teetering on retirement. They called him Full Throttle, taking advantage of motorcyclist motifs and natural speed. A personable, public face that made the general public feel safe with people with quirks just out and about. No kill rule, save civilians and evacuate civilians, the whole nine yards. Ikki, already a budding athlete and junior hero in his own right, put together a basic costume and patrolled with his uncle, at the insistence that he get a job. A particularly tough raid on a compound left Ikki gravely injured and in the hospital. And still, no excessive violence to get back for him. Now at the age of 18, he beat the exam and moved onto UA campus and began his life anew, vowing to do whatever it took to keep people safe.
