Profile
One of the younger trainees in his class, Hinata is an upstart aeronaut whose favorite pastime is fucking around and getting up to trouble when he shouldn't be. As the Grand Admiral's grandson, he gets off a little too easily for how much he fools around; but it's not like more scolding would make him stop, even when everyone in Hangar is more than fed-up with his antics. Hinata is a huge showoff and loves to be contrary when he's told he can't or shouldn't, especially when Diesel - the eldest of the class - gets on his case.
It's Hinata's fault when he and Diesel get themselves grounded. Rambunctious and unwilling to back down, he takes them both tumbling beneath the clouds (a heinous violation of the aeronauts' Code) and they both break on impact. Down both a wing and an engine, and Diesel not much better, the boys are forced to wander the wasteland trying to find help. Hinata is the one to call out to their would-be ambushers, much to Diesel's chagrin, and ingratiates them to Henri's crew: they follow him and his boys back to their junkertown, and spend the next months there in recovery. Against Hinata's will, he and Diesel start to make friends there, too.
As a jet, Hinata is built for speed and can hit supersonic velocities (or at least he can when he's in good condition). He absolutely loves going as fast as he can at all times and is terrible at standing still. Once their class graduates, he wants to become a Herald sweeping the skies, but falling to the wasteland has thrown more than a few wrenches in his plans.
Hinata is loud, boisterous, and while not quite full of himself exactly, has very little humility and struggles to remember other people have feelings too. He thinks he's invincible and very cool and loves any and all attention he can garner, good or bad. He's very excitable and impulsive, which is often a disaster of a combination, but at the same time his genuine fascination with everything - mundane or otherwise - can be quite contagious.
Social Connections
Diesel - rival and personal lifestyle nitpicker. unfortunately, they're also trapped together.
Henri - wastelander, rescuer, all around incredibly cool dude and role model
Coyote - cool older wastelander who likes to hear what Hinata has to say
Teagan - cool older wastelander but he's always really busy :/
Maxwell - classmate, one of his besties; they get up to trouble together
Grand Admiral Goddard - grandfather and stick in the mud
Diamond - classmate and jet squad leader
Trace & Reed - mentor? figures?? also terrifying tho
Species - Aeronauts
Aeronauts are a small, secluded "race" of airplane-inspired cyborgs designed to ease the strain on a new generation rebuilding itself after the apocalypse (although they're unaware of most of this). They run by a strict code and are forbidden from leaving their world above the clouds while they sweep the skies. Aeronaut culture is fairly divergent from most humans' focus on creativity and discovery, and is instead rooted in work ethic and individual purpose serving a whole.
The 'nauts are easily 75% mechanical over a human core, modified near-immediately after birth with fairly unique cybernetics based upon their own genetic code. Like any human, no one is exactly the same and they express a wide variance that doesn't fit neatly into categories, though they are sorted into Stunt, Jet, and Carrier classes for convenience. Their overall design is consistent, however, and most notably they all have retractable wings & tails and "gauntlets" on their arms that allow them to filter pollutants out of the air and metabolize them.
World Context
The world ended around 300 years ago, give or take, depending on where you'd like to calculate the end of the end to be. Civilization slowly crumbled under a brutal barrage of seemingly every possible apocalypse (natural disasters, polluted resources, world war,) over the course of fifty-some-odd years and now it's a lawless wasteland like the good ole days. No human culture is truly back on its feet, but the wasteland is coming back to life: nature is rebounding en force and many established settlements and factions are doing well for themselves. Plenty of people still roam as survivor crews living off the land, but overall, the memory of the apocalypse itself has passed and a new norm has settled in.
This isn't to say everything is perfect - remnants of war efforts and catastrophic pollution have still left their calling cards, among other things. Rogue robots wander and kill at their leisure and the sky is blanketed in thick, permanent cloud cover. Assholes run rampant in the form of bandits, militia, and dystopian cityfolk continuing the old ways - it's still called "the wasteland" for a reason. But the world and humanity are healing, slowly but surely.
The primary narrative of Ash & Dust happens out in the wasteland with a misfit band of "scrappers:" folks that scavenge technological scrap and will hunt robots, drones, and even cyborgs to break them down for parts. They're not self-sustaining and trade their catches with local settlements on the regular. Like any rogueish wasteland bands, they value their freedom and members often come and go as they please while finding their calling.

Hinata is super bouncy and has way more energy than he'll ever be able to burn off in his entire life. Very excitable and hyperactive, but also extremely overconfident and a showoff - which makes for a terrible combination, and as such he is a very impulsive daredevil. He's a fast plane and likes to zoom as much as possible
