Sup! The name is Wesley Bryans and I'm a current trainee at the Heroes Coalition. I'm from San Antonio, Texas and my Southern work ethic emphasizes my entire character. I have been in the training camp for quite some time and despite that, I kept on training, hoping one day that I get called up and be promoted as a hero.
Before coming to camp, I used to be a simple young man who plays football in college. My life was doing good that is until I got inadvertently involved into a fight which caused my football career to crumble down. However, even after my dreams of becoming a football player is done, I gained another. Years after graduating college, one night while I gazing at the stars from my house's rooftop as strange light came down and crashes down on me, I had no idea what it was until the next morning. Major Stronghold arrived and began explaining to me the existence of the different worlds and the organization he is working.
I was skeptical at first until the Major showed me his abilities, then he explained about the Gifts and Blessed, and revealed that I'm a Blessed as well. He then offered me to join the Coalition to be train as a hero, never thought in my entire life that I would get scouted to become hero, it was surreal but since I got nothing to do, I took his offer.
And after that, becoming a hero became my dream.
My fighting style is pretty simple, I'm pretty much of a brawler and most of my strikes are limited which is the reason I've been training for so long but it didn't bothered me one bit, as long as I can continue training and developing my own skills. While my fighting skills are limited, my Gift does not, according to the Science and Research Department, believe it or not, my Gift is mixed between Superman, Green Lantern and Captain America, as for what my Gift actually is, I'll keep that to myself for now.
Overall, despite my limited skills, I'm an overall good fighter but I have fatal flaw...
"Wesley watch out!"
I was playing a dodgeball game along with a few fellow trainees when I saw my shoelaces are untied, this distracted me from the game as a red ball hit me right square in the face causing me to fall down on the floor in pain.
"Wesley are you okay!?" Red asked in worry.
"Get you're torches and pitchforks... we're going ogre hunting..."
Yup! My one and only flaw... getting distracted everytime my shoelaces are untied.
Yeah... it's pathetic, I know.
As Red along with Tucker Noble and Haru Glory helps the poor lad up, we see Chris Pearson and a short man watching them from the nearby bleachers. The short man has a messy black hair, green eyes, a poorly shaven beard, a soul-patch, and round teeth. His everyday outfit consists of blue jeans, black ankle boots, and a black T-shirt that says 'JERK' in white letters. This is Dan Mandel.
Rookie Trainee and Vanguard Academy Student
Dan Mandel
Dan grunted, "Just look at him! He's been in this camp for a long time now yet he haven't cured that "getting hit in the face by any object after getting distracted by my untied shoelace" disease he had!" he stated, "How can he become a hero if he can't even correct his flaws!?" he pointed out.
"Dan, it's just one of his bad habits and bad habits are hard to get rid off." Chris reminded.
Dan scoffed, "Bad habit? Sure bad habits are hard to get rid off but 'that' is not a bad habit, that is flaw, a fatal flaw that more or else will become the reason of his demise!" he said as Chris began to listened along with anyone within range such as Shana, Sylvia van Hossen, Raya Amanda, Jaune Arc, Precious Dazzle, Regan Bladeworks, Chad Mordetzky and Sakura Kinomoto, "And why did I say that? Picture this. What if Wesley is in the middle of an intense battle to death by a powerful individual then all of a sudden he got distracted by his untied shoelaces, then boom! he got his head blown up, shing! he got his head slice off by a sword and another boom! his entire body got obliterated by a Kamehameha-like beam. Let's face it! Sooner or later, he'll be promoted as a hero without getting rid of his flaw, sure, we all our flaws but we know how to fix our flaws, but this guy, he's been here for so long that he can't even fix his pathetic flaw, I know that he works hard but for God's sake can he at least work hard fixing his flaw, if not, he'll be the first member in the Coalition to die in a mission because of getting distracted by his shoelaces!" he exclaimed.
"I guess... you're right..." Chris replied looking down as everyone else who heard his rant, all are now worried for Wesley's well-being and as well as his future.
Upon seeing everyone's downcast faces, Dan let out a grunt, "Jesus... how long has he been in this camp?" he asked.
"Two years... I guess." Chris answered back.
"Then I guess the camp became his home... same can be said for us." Dan stated.
Chris along with everyone cracked a smile, "Yeah... you're right." he replied.
bzzzttt...
After a short trip to the infirmary, Wesley is back on his feet as he made his way back to training area, upon returning he just arrived in time to witness two individuals facing each other.
"Come at me - nya! I shall be you're opponent today - nya!" the first individual declared getting into a fighting stance.
The second individual huffed, "Show me what you got." he challenged getting into a battle stance too.
The first individual is anthropomorphic cat with white fur and an orange spot on the left side of his head and his eyes are closed. He wears a blue ninja gii, blue baggy pants and is barefooted. He wears a forehead protector. This is Nyaruto Nyazumaki.
Solo Hero, Vanguard Academy Student and Ninja
Nyaruto Nyazumaki
The second individual has snow white skin and golden eyes, with long dark teal hair that covers most of his face, tied into a ponytail with a sky blue band. He wears a dark kimono with a black overcoat hanging off his waist, tied with a white belt. He wears a black shin covers and fingerless gloves, as well as straw sandals. Around his neck is an azure, wisp-like scarf with tails resembling dragon heads. This is Venoct.
Solo Hero, Vanguard Academy Student and Yo-Kai
Venoct
Venoct along with fellow Yo-Kais, Kyubi, Arachnus, Toadal Dude and Kamaitachi joined the Heroes Coalition a month ago and the President Mario Martinez welcomes them with open arms much to their surprise. At first, they thought that the organization was all about business but soon learns that there are more in the Coalition than they thought. Sooner they learned about the values of bonds, friendship and most of all, family. While it was difficult at the first, thanks to their egos, they soon warmed up with everyone as they slowly began to understand what the Coalition is all about. Upon joining, Venoct along with Kyubi, Arachnus, Toadal Dude and Kamaitachi were assigned as Solo Heroes and would later become students at the Vanguard Academy.
And with that, the two charges at each other.
Both throws a strong punch, colliding with each other, Venoct then jumps away in mid-air, "Octo Snake!" he yelled as his dragon heads charges at Nyaruto.
Nyaruto stood his ground and caught both heads with his bare hands and quickly pulls down Venoct towards him, despite the surprise counter, as he was pulled down Venoct got his feet into kicking position but the shinobi cat blocks it with his arms.
Venoct then jumps away once more and landed safely on the mat, "Take this!" he said throwing lightning strikes towards Nyaruto.
Nyaruto then opens his golden eyes, "Activate!" he commanded as his eyes began to glow green, he then charges forward dodging every lightning attacks thrown at him, he then quickly pulls his fist back and throws a punch, the moment he got close to Venoct but was blocked by his knees.
The two separates, keeping their distance away from each other.
"Not bad." Venoct commented.
"You two - nya!" Nyaruto replied with a grin.
"Was that you're Gift that you activated moments ago?" Venoct asked in curiosity.
"Negative - nya! It's one of the few techniques I learned back in the Ninja Academy in my world - nya!" Nyaruto explained.
"I see. That only means you're a lot tougher than I thought." Venoct said as he got into a fighting stance once more, "Well then... shall we continue?" he suggested.
Nyaruto got into a fighting stance, "Certainly - nya!" he replied.
And with that, the two once again clashed.
Meanwhile, on the sidelines, Wesley can only watch in amazement.
"Woah! Nyaruto is fighting toe on toe with a powerful Yo-Kai." Wesley said in awe.
"I believe it's because he's a Blessed." a voice said.
Wesley turns around to see a woman with some sort of Parasyte sticking on her right ear walking towards him.
"Is your head all right Wesley? You were hit really hard back there." the woman said in worry.
Wesley blushed, "I-I-I'm a-all r-right... I-I'm already used to it, Miss Squigly and Mister Leviathan." he replied while rubbing the back of his neck.
Rookie Trainee, Vanguard Academy Student and Undead
Squigly and Leviathan
Squigly is an undead woman with a bluish-gray skin, red eyes and dark-blue hair tied in a sidetail with one of her eye covered by her bangs. She wears black pants and a dress-like top with a skull covering her flat chest, red & white sleeves, socks and black heels. Leviathan goes through her right ear and out of a hole on the left side of her head. Her mouth is stitched with white strings.
Believe it or not, but Wesley had a crush on Squigly the moment she arrived in the Coalition. Originally, he would just considered on befriending her until he heard her sing which captures the heart of the poor lad.
"You really need to fix that flaw of yours, it won't do you good once you get promoted as a hero." Squigly reminded.
"Yeah... I-I'll keep that in mind. Anyway, Mister Leviathan, what do you mean by what you said earlier, you know about Nyaruto being a Blessed?" Wesley asked.
"What I'm saying is, the reason that Nyaruto is keeping up with Venoct in a fight it's because of the Blessed's unique quirk." Leviathan explained, "From what I heard, you all got you're Gifts from two Gods, so basically the unique factor about you Blessed is that you had the special quirk to fight and take down divine beings such as Gods but it also extends to the supernatural entities, which means Blesseds had the ability to go toe to toe with supernatural creatures such as Yo-Kais." he stated.
"I see." Wesley replied.
"By the way, can I talk to you alone for a minute?" Leviathan requested as the two moves quite a few distance away from Squigly with the Parasyte stretching his body, "So... how long have you been crushing with Milady?" he requested.
Wesley blushed, "Uhh... is she hearing any of this?" he asked nervously.
"Rest assure she don't." Leviathan replied.
Wesley sighed, "Okay... you got me... I had crush on her ever since I heard her singing. She had such a wonderful voice that I can't stop thinking about her." he stated.
"So... why not ask her out?" Leviathan suggested.
"Are you serious? You don't mind?" Wesley asked earning a nod from the Parasyte, "Thanks but I think relationship between won't work." Wesley said sadly.
"Is it because she's an undead." Leviathan pointed out.
"No... not because of that but I just feel that I'm not good enough for her. She's an awesome woman! Compare to me, whom is still here struggling to get promoted to hero status." Wesley stated.
"I see. But rest assure that Milady isn't the type of her person to choose a relationship through status, just be true to yourself and be honest. I've been with Milady for a long time and I can definitely tell that she's getting envious to the few people in relationship." Leviathan said as they turn to see Squigly looking envious at Edward Elric and Winry Rockbell who just walks pass by them, "See what I mean? I can definitely make Milady happy but she needs more than that, she needs another person to give her something I can't, the warmth of love from a man and while you believe you're not good for her, I disagree, I can definitely tell that you're person she needs." he stated.
Wesley stared at the Parasyte before letting all the words he spoke sink to his head, he let a sigh, "You think she'll give me a chance?" he asked.
"Certainly." Leviathan replied.
Wesley took a deep breath, "All right... here goes." he said as the two went back to Squigly.
"So what did the two of you talk about? I'm kinda curious." Squigly asked.
"Nothing much but I believe our friend right here wants something from you." Leviathan stated.
"Really? What is Wesley?" Squigly asked.
Wesley took a deep breath as his cheeks began to turn red, "Uhm... I... uh... would you... would you like to go out with me!?" he blurted out before clamping his mouth shut.
Nyaruto and Venoct whom finished their spar walk past them, "Good luck - nya!" the former said with a thumbs up.
Leviathan let out a smirk while Squigly was taken a back, "R-really?" she asked as she began to pet her Parasyte.
"Uhh... yeah... you see... I had a crush on you ever since I heard you're singing... you had one of the most beautiful voice I ever heard... I know that we're friends already but I want to get to know you better, so I... uhh..." Wesley said with his completely beet in red.
Squigly's face is also red but not as brightly as the poor lad, "I-I see... I-I don't mind... going out with you..." she replied shyly.
"R-really?" Wesley asked in surprise.
Squigly nodded, "You're the first man in my life to ask me out and I don't want to miss this out and besides... I... I want to get to know you better too." she replied with a smile.
Wesley then let out a big smile, "T-thank you very much! So... where do you wanna go?" he asked in excitement.
"Anywhere is fine." Squigly replied.
"Well... then how about the AniManga Cafe! We could go there tonight if you don't mind." Wesley suggested.
Squigly nodded, "That's fine. Well then... I'll see you tonight." she said before turning around and walking away but if you look closely, you could see the excitement written on her face.
"See ya." Wesley replied.
Leviathan looks back at him and gave him a nod, he then nods back. Excitement began to soar inside Wesley's veins as he began to dance happily like an idiot.
On the bleachers, we see Dan and everyone watching him dance.
"Hey Dan! Look! Wesley looks happy." Chris claimed with a smile.
"Yeah I can see that..." Dan replied in annoyance as he picks up a ball, "How about we celebrate." he suggested with a sadistic grin.
"Dan... what are you doing?" Chris asked nervously.
Dan then throws the ball violently towards Wesley hitting him square in the face making him fall down on the mat with a loud thud as everyone gathered around him.
"Wesley are you okay?" Red asked in worry.
"Bow... chika... bow... bow..." Wesley blabbered.
Everyone then glares at Dan whom only shrugged, "Dan... you're such a jerk." Raya commented.
Dan scoffed, "You're not the first who said that to me." he replied with a blank look.
