history: Wiki Link

abilities: Quirk: Fierce Wings

Fierce Wings allows for Hawks to fly, of course. His known speed is calculated around 1000 km/h, and he says he can go faster than that. Speed is what he's best known for. Aside from that, he can use each of his feathers telekinetically, individually, and at the same time. Each feather can lift an adult human with ease and zip them out of dangerous situations, so somewhere around 200 lbs capacity. They also emit and pick up vibrations allowing him to 'see' through echolocation, and hear through them by picking up sounds. He can also set the desired sharpness and and pliability allowing him to use them as knives, and his primaries as swords in combat.

Hawks is dangerously intelligent, he has the capacity process well over a hundred points of input through his feathers, on top of focusing on other things right in front of him. He's also seen memorizing novels for the sake of his mission, and calculating risks and data on a fairly large scale, as well as sending coded messages. He's been trained in interpersonal connections, espionage and assassinations as well. He's a well rounded HPSC agent. His combat style is most akin to an aerial swordsman, and he both uses one blade and two, depending on what he has in hand. While he carries expertise, in universe terms, he's not considered physically strong, which is why he prefers speed over everything else because with a heavy hitter he will lose if it drags on too long. He's also seriously weak to fire as his feathers burn up very easily.

While not strictly an ability, Hawks is a heteromorph which means he also carries bird-like traits. His desired diet consists of mainly meat, preferably chicken as he's a raptor, he may be an obligate carnivore. He tilts his head like a bird and perches frequently, as well has to have bird-like bones to allow for him to take flight in the first place. He also has the sharp vision that hawks do and can see things with precision while flying overhead, as well has avian-like eyes and markings on his face. These are mutations that are separate from his wings as his wings specifically are his quirk.


personality: Hawks comes across as charming, friendly, gregarious, laid-back, lazy and something of a vapid playboy. All of this is by design, because his day-to-day personality is thoroughly curated by committee and was trained into him from a young age. It's incredibly disarming and he's pretty good at getting people to like him by mirroring what they want which makes him far more of an enigma for anyone looking beneath the surface. He can come across as disingenuous if he's trying too hard to get someone to like him.

In reality, Hawks wouldn't know lazy if he was within ten feet of it, as he's a total workaholic. While friendly seeming, he keeps everyone at arm's length, that's also by design because in reality he's enslaved to the HPSC and that's not something he can afford getting out. His personality is curated to be mildly annoying so that he's not really trusted by anyone. Yet, the cracks of his upbringing are on display if anyone looks - he has no friends to speak of, he has little concept of appropriate boundaries when it comes to himself and will tolerate things other heroes wouldn't, like people grabbing his wings and feathers. He also downplays his heteromorphic traits for the sake of his image because they would be a point of contention and friction if he didn't.

Hawks is deeply idealistic, he believes that the world can become a better place if everyone pitches in and relies on heroes a little less, by helping out in their communities. He's incredibly kind and altruistic, he's being driven by a genuine desire to help people which is not something many heroes can say. It's intrinsic, almost compulsive for him, it was evident even when he was a small child. He believes in doing things for the greater good and is willing to take on the suffering and dirtying his hands to protect someone else from being in that position. He's also an optimist, allowing him to maintain genuine cheer in the face of all the adversity he's faced in his life.

He's also very open minded, in that he doesn't necessarily believe ideological villains are wrong so much as their methods are. He doesn't see the world in black and white like many people do because he's had far more exposure to villains and the downtrodden than the majority of heroes out there.

He's been thoroughly conditioned and has run into the fallacy of maintaining the status quo for stability, instead of actually calling out the wrongdoing by the HPSC, which he somewhat recognizes is an issue. There are glimmers of rebellion with him, making him incredibly dangerous to them should they find out about that, evidenced most by the fact he maintains a secret residence that they are unaware of, away from their prying eyes.

Hawks has never had a good, positive relationship, nor has he ever known genuine love. He can be emotionally distant and fall into the trap of being only who his persona is. He has a deep capacity to care for people, but he's never received it in return. He's also likely never felt safe a day in his life, leading him to have a healthy paranoia, that and he's used to being under constant surveillance. His name is redacted, certainly, but notably not one person has ever asked for it.
