Day Job: Pieceworker
Mr. Jakande does quite a bit of piecework wherever he might be needed, including, but not limited to:
-Basic labor and small-scale construction
-Bouncing for pubs and bars
-University security detail
-Janitorial services
-Driving services​

Unique Power:

Inaudibility/Sound Nullification
( Sound Nullification)​

In Yonas's case, this ability is very much like a silencer on a firearm, but quite a bit more effective and more versatile. It essentially 'mutes' Yonas entirely, but also serves to silence anything he is in immediate contact with - (touching). Examples of applicable sounds might be the jingling of keys, a cough or sneeze, the squeak of sneakers, etc.​


Source of Power:

A bite, nothing more, nothing less. Yonas had long since grown accustomed to bug bites and hadn't even given the spider a second glance before smashing it and going to sleep. He... sort of regrets his indifference that night.


Driving Force:

Yonas has seen and experienced loss and hardship over the course of his young life, and hates to see others suffering as he has. He just really wants to help.

Bio:

Yonas was among the hundreds of thousands of orphans that survived The Great African Wars and their aftermath (1996-2008), owing much of his early childhood to the compassion of strangers and foreign aides. Among said strangers were brave UN peacekeepers who dared to remain to offer support, one of which having become quite fond of Yonas. One Miss Katherine Weller had clandestinely frequented the homes of those harboring misplaced Tutsi women and children in secret, and had spent quite a bit of time with Yonas before the UN forced her to evacuate. Orphaned as a toddler, Yonas had no memories of his lost family and so naturally had very little to mourn. He was a sweet and optimistic child, one Katherine never could forget.

In the years that followed, Yonas encountered yet more hardship. The militia patrols and the raiding made life Hell for him and the other children, who were always being forced to hide in the brush or shuffled into the backs of trucks in the night. Hunger and illness crept up on those in hiding, picking them off one by one. The cramped safe houses full of crying children, the gunshots, and the buzzing of well-fed flies had become the norm.

Fast forward to about 2008, when Katherine was permitted to return to Central Africa and did so immediately, praying he'd survived. Finding him was no easy task, but after months and months of searching through the records of thousands of identified children, she had succeeded in locating him. His adoption was completed but a few years later, and in the summer of 2010, Yonas and Katherine finally set foot in America together.

He lived a happy life with his adoptive mother for a time... she taught him everything and anything she could, taking advantage of his thirst for knowledge and turning him into a model student via endless homeschool study sessions. Alas, all good things must come to an end. A normal visit to Sudan took a turn for the worse, and Katherine did not recover from the illness she'd contracted even after being brought back to the states for treatment. At 19, Yonas found himself alone yet again.

At 25, Yonas has only just recently seen fit to return to Central Africa for one final visit, to honor the late Katherine's wish to have her ashes spread on African soil. The spider bite that started it all came about during that same visit, however, and upon arriving back home in the states just a few weeks ago, he came to realize that his life had been drastically altered yet again.

As always, Yonas will simply have to adjust to the changes and move on.

Miscellaneous Info:
​
-Book smart, socially inept.

-He is very conscious of his large stature and hates that it often intimidates people, and tries to be as unassuming as possible.

-There are some who are convinced that Yonas is mute. He is not.

-Yonas has no formal combat training, but is no stranger to violent encounters. The school of life has taught him well.

-Yonas is easily coerced with food.

P e r s o n a l i t y :

The best way to describe Ms Tadashi is determined. Determined to get a good story in, determined to get that promotion, determined to earn her rightful respect. In fact, she can be so determined that she nearly borders obsessive, spending long nights & majority of her days focused on just one topic. Apart from her work (of which she cares about most.) Tadashi can seem a little blunt- to put it nicely, socially inept even. Though, her intentions are always good, and morals mostly pure (though it doesn't seem like it.)

B i o :

Born to two superficial diplomats, Ms. Tadashi had lived a life as what most would call the "rich kid." Although in most aspects, Saku had to earn her place as a Tadashi. You see, there is a common saying that falls over many Japanese families, it goes something like "自業自得" which roughly translates to "you get what you put in." As such, Saku had to work- become stellar in every which way, just so she could be considered a reputable & loyal Tadashi. The idiom having lead her all the way to New York City, in which she runs as a well-known & well-respected journalist.


M o t i v a t i o n :

You see, Ms. Tadashi wasn't always so cold & unforgiving. In fact, she was known to have a tiny soft spot for one person & one person ONLY... Until, until that person met their end, that is. It was one of those days- the days in which all of New York fell under rapid fire, targeted by one villain or the next. Y'know, the usual. They'd all been told to stay inside, to find shelter- to keep away from the promising dangers, but due to the lack of time & the large, herding crowd, they'd been separated- torn apart by fate. Luckily, Sakura had been able to find some sort of coverage- while he, well he wasn't so lucky. She watched in terror as he'd been painfully pinned down by rubble, rubble that had seemingly fallen from the sky. He hollered pained pleas to their supposed "savior," cried for help.... But it had been too late, he was gone........ Everyday Saku relives that awful evening, everyday she pins the blame on their supposed "heroes," knowing that in the end, all they could really depend on was themselves, and she's determined as ever to express that.

Q u o t e { s } :

"I have it under control." *doesn't have it under control at all*

"If you're going to do anything, do it with grace, with honor."

"I don't need saving." *Bruh, she's gonna be the BiGgest damsel.*

I have tried writing the first paragraph or two like 4 different ways and I just feel like I'm drawing blanks! Dx

I would be a-okay hopping into the next rotation so as to avoid holding up the posts for everyone, or I would gladly take any and all suggestions into consideration. Q^Q

I SUUUPER want to post. </3 I'm just not sure what to do with my introduction. TTmTT
 
Yonas could've been out at a construction site during the prison break. He and his co-workers are concerned about keeping their jobs, but once the streets get bad, guys start filtering home, or even start plotting to take part in the criminal activity.

You could have him join the group that's supposed to meet at the homeless shelter, or he could just go ahead and put on his superhero persona like Frank and Vic. Or just send him on his own path, if that's what's troubling you. I'm fine to wait. If you want us to go on, let us know.
 
I realized ... half the reason for the homeless shelter plot was the excess of softhearted characters, and Exo not wanting to do anything flashy ... So I say screw it, let's do something a little flashy. Everyone is likely either in mid or downtown, Time Square is right there, and it was established in someone's post that there are fires burning in the city. Everyone be prepared to "happen to be in Time Square."

@Tailey If you're having any trouble, you could have Yonas ferrying people safely through the night at his driving job ^_^ So long as he's at or near Time Square by the conclusion of my next post.
