Full Name Hayate Kurosawa
Gender Male
Age 16
Species Tengu

Personality

Hayate is an introverted student whose interest in magic underlays his grumpy disposition. He's not exactly pessimistic or edgy; rather, he's grumpy and slightly impatient. He's quiet but not the least bit timid; rather, he's rather confident, but not boastful, in his physical and academic abilities. He's quite respectful of others, given that they share the same respect. He's not great at giving advice, but he's willing to listen to his friends if they need. He doesn't show it much, but he does genuinely care for them.

As his childhood was mostly spent in isolation, his social skills are quite lacking. He often remains silent in fear of saying the wrong thing or making a situation worse, which he often thinks he does just by being present. In part because of the other students' teasing, he believes he is disliked and has adopted the mindset that he is but a disturbance or annoyance to others.

Backstory

Hayate lived with his mother and father in, like many other tengu, the forested regions of mountainous areas. His interaction with others had always been very limited, and most of what he knew he was taught by his parents. Traditional tengu culture was to impose a sense of independence onto the next generation as soon as possible, and Hayate definitely picked up on that quickly, letting it fuel his loner personality. Constant human interference, interaction, and deforestation forced them to move many times, spawning a growing distaste for others. After being homeschooled for most of his life, his parents learned of an academy which would accept all different kinds of monsters, so he was sent to attend school there.

Current Life

Hayate Kurosawa is enrolled as a sophomore attending Monsuta Academia. He lives in a dorm with his roommate Albarg Langrad and attends classes and clubs. He loves his girlfriend, Erin Mustaal, greatly and while he is not a very affectionate person, at least in public, he cares about her immensely and wants to do what he can to make her happy. He has found a friend group and is often involved in events with them.

EXTRAS


Brains and Brawn

Despite never having a formal education before attending Monsuta Academia, Hayate is a rather academically inclined student with an aptitude and interest for learning, and with that, he became known for being "that smart kid" that every class seems to have. He will happily help other students if they ask for assistance; that's how he connected with Emiko. On the other hand, while he isn't an athletic kid, he is notably not lacking when it comes to physical strength. He has no interest in participating in sports, but if he did, he'd probably be pretty dang good at them even without his wings.

Tengu Pride

Tengu are known for being prideful, and Hayate is no different. He has great confidence in his admittedly rather impressive abilities. He's not usually boastful but when his abilities are challenged he will not take that lightly. He doesn't have thin skin but he is somewhat irritable. At least his pride extends to defending his friends if they are insulted.

Tengu Physiology 

Being a pure-blooded tengu comes with its fair share of superhuman abilities. Hayate's most notable feature is his wings, which he can use to fly at speeds exceeding 80 mph (130 kph). While that is his maximum velocity, he has great aerial control and mobility. He is leagues stronger than any human and can easily lift a number of people into the air. He has great control over the wind, able to summon strong gusts, narrow streams, and gentle cool breezes. He can also use wind magic to accelerate his already speedy flight.

Purchased Magic

Over time, Hayate has accumulated various magic books and learned to cast various types of magic. In order obtained:

Psychic - This multifaceted magic with many practical applications caught Hayate's attention immediately. He utilizes telekinesis to bring objects to him, put books away, or even levitate without flapping his wings or creating a gust. He can teleport short distances, but doesn't often do this besides to get to indoor places quicker. He is beginning to learn telepathy, but because there isn't much practical application given his setting, he has learning it on low priority. When in contact with another individual, he can get a reading on their emotions and thoughts, the specificity and depth depending on how open or secretive the person is.

Dark - Hayate mostly purchased this magic so he could not be blinded by the sun and so he could read outside with the perfect lighting. He mostly uses it to adjust the lighting by filling an area with dark magic to make it darker than the surroundings. He uses this in combination with light magic to create the ideal reading environment wherever and whenever, sealed off from the outside world by a shell of darkness. He can also create energy blasts with dark magic, but this serves little purpose.  

Light - Hayate purchased light magic for similar reasons, although he quickly found that light magic had many more applications. He often uses it as a reading light, creating a light right above the pages to completely and uniformly illuminate it. He uses this in combination with dark magic to create the ideal reading environment whenever and wherever, preventing glare from unwanted light sources and making his own. He uses light magic as a flashlight and, because the color of the light can be changed, a laser pointer to entertain Emi with. He can also create energy blasts and lasers with light magic, but this serves little purpose.  

Water - The ability to create and easily boil or freeze water serves many purposes and far outweigh the uses of simply manipulating the shape of water, most of the desired effects of which could be achieved with psychic magic. Not only does preparing tea become much quicker and easier, there are also a number of recipes that benefit from the ability to boil water quickly.

Barrier - Hayate can create pieces of barrier in the shape of sheets, walls, spheres, and boxes to block projectiles or to contain an item or a person safely. Aside from air, they are not permeable; nothing can pass through them, not even elemental attacks. After sustaining enough damage, they will break; however, Hayate has great magical strength and his barriers are notably durable, much more so than Emi's. Hayate can move them after they've been created, and they can linger in the air. He often uses them to make others feel more secure, safe, and at ease.

Erin

[ Girlfriend ] Hayate would interact with Erin more than many other people he knew, as she was his roommate's best friend. She would approach him often, so her friendly, bubbly nature got through to him in little time, and he found himself opening up more and more to her. He felt a closeness to her that he was unfamiliar with and couldn't describe—he wanted to care for her and protect her, and spend more time around her. She felt similarly but unfortunately for her, he was too dense to pick up on the several hints she dropped. On Valentine's Day, she confessed to him, which quickly helped him realize his developing feelings for her were mutual. Since that day, the two have been a happy couple. While he isn't super affectionate, Hayate loves Erin immensely and would do anything for her.

Al

[ Roommate / Best friend ] Hayate has grown a lot closer to the slightly airheaded Al than he thought he would. When he first met his roommate, Hayate was rather sure he wouldn't get along with Al, but it seems that prolonged exposure to him has made Hayate open up. Al essentially forced Hayate to be social and not coop up in his dorm all the time, so he was the catalyst to all of Hayate's connections. While he doesn't say it, Hayate is rather thankful for Al being in a constant state of dealing with his crap. The two get along very well, despite all their bickering, and Hayate would consider Al his best friend.

Lilly

[ Close friend ] As one of his first acquaintances at school, Lilly over time became an incredibly close friend of Hayate. Their frequent meetings and adventures forged a strong bond and mutual respect between the two. Hayate deeply cares about Lilly, and because he worries about her often, he tries his best to make sure she's doing alright; he was one of the first people to notice something was wrong with her. In an attempt to ease her worries, Hayate promised that he would be there for Lilly if she needed it, and promised that Lilly would never be a burden—and a tengu does not break their promise. While quiet about it, he is delighted to see that she has been doing better recently.

Emiko

[ Close Friend ] The two met when Emi sought out Hayate for academic help. It wasn't a terribly unusual occurrence, but then Emi kept on coming back to him, very much wanting to be his friend. Since their first meeting, Emi has kept in contact with him almost daily through messaging. He has not once pushed her away; the two quickly formed an unlikely friendship. Her pep and lively spirits are rather infectious, even to him, and he finds her amiable spirit quite pleasant to be around. Emi teases, bickers with, and messes with Hayate quite often, but strangely, he doesn't mind. She's been doing that less often, though, and Hayate is rather concerned. He cares about her a lot more than he's willing to admit, and he wants to make sure she's alright.
