[Species]

• Wolf Beastman

[Age]

• 29 years old

[Gender]

• Male

[Appearance]

• Height: 190cm, Weight: 98kg.
• A wolf beastman with a lean, well-trained muscular physique. He has grey and black fur and sharp blue-grey eyes, usually wearing a somewhat melancholy expression.
• When active as a hero, he wears a lightweight suit primarily in black and white. He is equipped with special gear at his neck to protect his respiratory system, and a wolf-motif emblem is emblazoned on his chest. The overall design is understated, reminiscent of a dark hero.

[First/Second Person Pronouns]

• First person: I (masculine, firm)
• Second person: you (polite), you (blunt), you (formal)

[Personality]

• Taciturn and composed, serious with a strong sense of responsibility. He has a powerful obsession with saving people and will never abandon anyone he sees in trouble.
• He has harbored a strong admiration for heroes since childhood and still holds onto the ideal that "a hero is someone who saves others." On the other hand, he harbors a deep hatred for villains due to his past, having seen his parents murdered before his eyes. He continues to hunt for the specific villain who killed them to this day.

[Occupation]

• Hero. In addition to fighting villains, he prioritizes life-saving activities such as rescue operations and evacuation guidance at incident scenes.

[Special Ability]

• The ability to freely transform the air. Air density and properties can be changed, allowing for various applications such as attacks using compressed air, creating barriers, or forming footholds.

• His ultimate technique is "Negative Howling." A special roar emitted from his mouth fills the air itself with negative emotions, immersing those who hear it in intense feelings of anxiety, fear, despair, and sadness. While it is a powerful technique for neutralizing villains, it carries the risk of mentally affecting civilians if used incorrectly.

[Likes]

• Warm meals, meat dishes, coffee. Hero shows. Children's smiles.

[Dislikes]

• Villains. Irresponsible people. The phrase "It couldn't be helped." Abandoning someone who is asking for help.

[Habits]

• He still records hero shows. Whenever someone shouts "Help!", he reflexively turns toward them regardless of the situation.
• When alone, he sometimes mutters to himself as if speaking to his younger self: "It's okay. This time, I'm going."

[Notes]

• His parents were killed by a villain when he was young. At the time, he was just an ordinary citizen who believed a hero would come to save them. However, the hero didn't make it in time, and the villain left as if nothing had happened. Afterward, the villain was defeated by a hero who arrived later, but the incident was treated as "a case where the villain was defeated but casualties occurred," and he himself drew public attention as a "tragic victim." Every time he heard the sympathy from those around him or words like "It's a good thing a hero saved you," a different kind of wound was carved into his young heart. Even so, he couldn't bring himself to hate heroes. Rather, he desperately wanted to become one.

"If a hero won't save us... then I'll just have to become the hero."

That resolution changed his life. The intense negative emotions from losing his parents eventually awakened as his ability. Ironically, it was the power of "Negative Howling," a force that causes people suffering. Nevertheless, he used that power to become a hero. Inside his heart, his younger self is still crying.

"The hero isn't coming."

Crying those words, yet still waiting for a hero. That is why he wants to end a world where people do nothing but wait for a hero. And one day, he will capture the villain who killed his parents with his own hands. That is his origin and the reason he continues to be a hero.
