Age: 11
Birthday: September 28th (Libra)
Gender:
Male
Species: Human Esper
Category: Student
Class: Elementary
Grade: 5th Grade



Appearance Description:

Look at the picture above. Anyways, Hajime is of a European-Asian heritage, moreso taking on his father's side of the family. He stands around 4'5" in height, has short dark blue hair and cyan blue eye color, fair skin tone as well as a slender body type. He dons a notable orange/blue/yellow hoodie with black and yellow long-sleeved shirt, next to tan shorts and orange/white shoes.

Personality Description:

Hajime is a quiet yet curious boy that has difficulty with communication to others due to his anxiety and depression, however, despite of which, he has a warming, kind nature tucked away. He's often misunderstood but is actually more intelligent than he looks to be even though sometimes he has a tendency of being aloof, distracted if not somewhat impulsive, childish and unusual.

He has a notable talent in art as well as gaming, but that's because they help him, in a sense, vent out his frustration as well as provide formats of escapism from reality's problems on top of enjoying these hobbies as well.

Due to his parents' deaths, he has blamed himself for being born not a normal individual, but in time, he came to accept who he is even though he has some confidence issues. However, with enough patience and understanding, he might as well start opening up to others.

in general, his morality involves pacifism as he isn't someone that doesn't want to harm anyone but he will defend himself if he feels endangered. The time in the Navigation program often did challenge these views and in a sense, left some emotional turmoil behind in the form of nightmares if not memories.

Active Abilities:

Psychokinesis:
Hajime can create, shape and manipulate psychic energy in a number of branches, including with manifesting it in a physical format. His eyes will glow a cyan aura as it spreads out to the rest of his body in time and can use this to psychically push away individuals, up to about five to ten feet away from him and up to fifteen feet if he feels threatened. With effort, he would be able to levitate something heavy like a person but it drains him out quicker than the usual light objects that he is used to, however he can't do anything if he can't perceive or see the target.


Telepathy: Developed from his time in the Navigation program, he's able to communicate with other individuals and receive their thoughts as well. Though, he could only reach surface-level thoughts but he would have to focus his telepathy to go deeper. His range is in the immediate vicinity and he can suffer from a headache, depending on how long or how deep he went, ranging from minor to a migraine; sometimes his own thoughts end up accidentally slipping out to unsuspecting individuals.

Passive Abilities:
Will Boost: Hajime possesses a strong determination to defy the odds against his side. During this, he becomes harder to control due to his child-like nature and overall stubbornness, however he would need to be exploited of his darkest fears and insecurities, for a window of ten minutes; five minutes on more serious situations should someone try to, for instance, mind-control among other lesser mental impairments, however anything major would overwhelm him and cause him to faint from exhaustion.

Empathy: The ability to sense, feel and understand individual's emotions, well, not that he likes this ability because he could risk being overloaded with unwanted feelings if someone was to directly touch him. It could possibly end up encouraging and comforting or the opposite which would make it worse or rather uncomfortable.

Enhanced Awareness: Hajime is far more alert above what a normal human would be, extent to the fact that he would miss little details of what is going on. He's highly on alert.

Common Magical Items:

Simple Language Charm (Japanese):
This is the standard language charm provided to most characters. It translates a characters mother tongue into English, and allows them to hear English as their mother tongue.

Biography:
For a long time, many people believe that espers are descendants of magical individuals, however, science believes that espers are more grounded rather than some magical folly myth. Theories suggest these individuals exist within the populace in some format and the reasons why they were shrouded in mystery until the curious case of Hajime Byrd.

Since Hajime was an infant, he didn't displayed much on terms of normal children. They would cry, he didn't, they would smile, he didn't, they would respond to their name, he didn't and his parents believed that there was something wrong with the child that they had visited the doctor to hear that he is diagnosed with mild autism (Asperger's). Since that day, his parents were determined to raise him to the best of their ability even though they didn't understand what was going on at times.

Years passed by and at the age of two, Hajime was beginning to see unusual things, suffer unusual headaches, hear unexplained voices. Something that would have his parents question what is happening, however, the unexplained incidents would eventually be caught on in the form of the home being 'haunted' when it was not the case.

He was sent to the doctor whom didn't know what was going on judging by his parents were until things began to break which caused a strange case to arise. The same doctor reported this abnormality to the scientists who find this as interesting and began the basis of contacting the parents about the child about a special program called Navigation, which would help Hajime out, but in disguise, its to study on their child. Doing anything to help Hajime, they displayed interest in the program even though there were questions involved.

The next day, he was picked up and while he didn't want to be away from his parents, that would be the last day he would see them again.

As Hajime took part of the Navigation program, he was treated as a lab rat rather than a normal individual, subjected to tests and other things. He was known to defy other scientists if it goes against his morals (notably with killing and other limits that challenged him) and despite of the harsh times, things went on as usual and he kept going.

By the time he was five, he displayed much capability which was the evidence that he was an esper and gave more than enough evidence that this power could expand further. It was at that time that the program wanted to turn him into something of a weapon in a subtle format and while wandering around past curfew one night, that's when he found out about the true purpose from the other scientists where he immediately took to escaping.

During his escape, he was found out by scouting SA officials and taken in to which were sent to shutdown the Navigation program under government action due to illegal and unethical methods before he was eventually brought into Starlight Academy to ensure he was kept safe.

Resources: The school is providing for Hajime's education among other things like food, clothing, supplies and for especially living in the dorms.
