Kaz's aura takes the form of a long red pointed demonic-like tail, and a pair of small devil-like horns on his head.
| A P P E A R A N C E |
Kaz is a well built young man with a highly athletic, and toned body. He is rather short, and is very sensitive about this. His attire consists of a long-sleeved, white V-neck shirt with blue lining, a red sweater tied around his waist, dark green shorts, black socks and blue-and-gold sneakers. Underneath his shirt is a loose, black tank top. He wears a black beanie over his head at all times that covers his medium length hair, and a pair of headphones around his neck.
| O D D I T I E S |
He's got many scars all over his body from years of skateboarding. He always wears a beanie hat. Always. He's also a rather loud snorer. He has a tattoo of a flame on his collarbone.

⊠Cocky ⧠Sarcastic ⊠Ill Tempered ⧠Brave âŠ
Kaz's cockiness almost has no bounds. He believes rather adamantly that he can handle anything that's thrown his way all by himself. He's fairly brash, and impulsive, as well as being more than a little reckless. He doesn't think of the consequences of his actions. He's they type to run head first into trouble, which he usually makes. Indeed, he's quite the troublemaker, and rebel with a rap sheet as long as his arm. He's pretty sarcastic, and usually has a smart ass remark up his sleeve. All this makes it seem he's full of himself, which is about half right.
He is also extremely impatient, and a very 'to the point' kind of guy. He doesn't like waiting for anything, wanting to do everything here and now, and isn't one to beat around the bush. He has a bit of a temper as well, and is very sensitive of his height. He has quite the explosive temper, but he is the first to apologize when he lashes out against those he cares about. It doesn't take a whole lot to set him off. And he suffers from some impulse control issues, which often leads to many of his bad choices in life.
Despite all that he is very kind, caring, and extremely protective. He has always put others above his own well being.He is fairly brave, and will stand up to a more powerful opponent no matter what. He is also a very quick thinker, and is able to come up with plans on the fly. Fairly good plans at that. Though he won't volunteer to be a leader or anything like that, but he'll do it if necessary.
Despite being seen as the 'bad boy', Kaz does have a underlying sense of honor to him, and secretly does want to help others. He can act quite chivalrous at times, and honorable, though he will deny it with a passion. As he prefers to be seen as a tough guy. He does have some serious abandonment issues from being an orphan, and much of his issues stem from this. When it comes to the paranormal Kaz is rather skeptical about it all. He doesn't put much faith in things, and needs to see something to believe it.

âŠSpider Step. As long as their feet are touching a surface, this ability allows the step-user to redirect their personal gravity. They can scale vertical walls or even run across the ceiling upside down. If they lose contact with a surface, they will still fall. This power can extend to others if they remain in physical contact with the step-user.
â§Giant Step - Allows the user to travel a far larger distance in a single step than normal. With their longest steps, users can reach speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph.) Each stride takes a separate movement, so it may look like users of Giant Step are flickering in and out of existence. They do in fact physically cross the distance. A single step can only travel in a straight line, so the bigger the step, the lower the user's maneuverability between steps is. Changing direction or altering the distance between steps is highly disorientating, though due to Kaz's athletic ability he is able to compensate for it.
âŠDrag Step - Allows the step-user to move freely in a storm or stand on top of a moving object without falling off. This power can extend to others if they remain in physical contact with the step-user. Drag Step is required to safely carry non-step-users with Giant Step.
â§Love Breath(Undiscovered) - Through kissing the user can communicate both thoughts and feelings to the recipient and vice versa. It's a little awkward, but this can condense an hour long presentation into a single kiss. It can also be used to great effect for intimacy. There are no language barriers to this ability and can even be used to communicate with animals.
âŠSpock(Undiscovered) - Shoot an beam of light from the opening between the fingers. While it's not as strong as rock, scissors or lizard, it can harass phantoms from afar.
| U N I Q U E P O W E R |
Phantom Flames - Kaz's unique power takes the form of a light red fire. His fire is best suited at harming Phantoms, as it causes sever damage to them. He is able to control existing flames as well, and shape them to his liking. He has a resistance to extreme heat, and cold as well, and is able to remain comfortable in nearly any climate with any amount of clothing. Kaz often uses his fire to augment his physical attacks by surrounding his limbs with fire, or even creating a blowtorch-like sword, which is better at penetrating a Phantom with thick armor than say the Scissors power, but the down side is that it can't block anything as it's not solid. He will also often use his fire to create jet propulsion to make him even more maneuverable. Kaz's flames is unfortunately tied to his emotional state, though the flames get stronger, and more intense with his anger, it also get's less controllable.
| S T R E N G T H S |
âŠAthletic - Kaz is a natural athlete, and is thus naturally fast, and agile.
â§Skateboarding - Kaz is a very talented skateboarder, and he often uses this to help him in battling Phantoms by using his skateboard to out maneuver his foe. His aptitude towards skateboarding also helps him in using his Giant Step ability due to being adept to disorientating movements by doing tricks and such on his skateboard.
âŠQuick Thinking - Kaz's mind works fast. He's able to think himself out of trouble in a flash. So he usually plays things by ear, and wings whatever he does, which tends to be a hit and miss sort of thing.
â§Bravery - He's just a really brave guy who's fairly fearless. He's willing to go up against even the most terrifying of foes without flinching.
âŠLoyalty - To those who've earned his loyalty he becomes like a mad dog to protect them.
| W E A K N E S S E S |
âŠOverconfidence - Kaz's cocky nature is his biggest downfall.
â§Temper - His explosive temper is also a rather big weakness, and it often makes his powers unstable, though he is working on it to mixed results.
âŠImpulsive - He's got very poor impulse control.
â§Impatient - He's a 'live in the moment' type of guy.
âŠShow Off - Kaz is a rather big show off, and tends to over do things just to show case his skill.

Kazuki Tachibana, always unwanted. Since the age of three he has been in, and out of foster care. Before that his parents weren't much to talk about. In fact he doesn't even remember them. From what he's heard his parents were drug users, and alcoholics. Real degenerates. Supposedly in a moment of clarity they realized they were unfit to raise a child, and so they abandoned him into the foster system. Not that any of this matters to him now. What's done is done, and dwelling in it will do nothing.
So growing up he wasn't the most well adjusted kid. He developed severe anger issues, becoming a human I.E.D. He began getting into all sorts of trouble. Fighting, skipping school, tagging, just about anything, and everything. Due to this he was labeled a lost cause by those of the foster system. No one really seemed to care about him. He was just another delinquent. And he has come to accept this as his place in life. After all, having everyone in your life tell you that you're bad you begin to believe it.
Over time however he has learn to channel his issues into something more productive(ish), skateboarding. Though it's not the greatest outlet for someone with his issues, and poor impulse control. Oh how he enjoys annoying people on his skateboard. And then it happened. Nearly two years ago he met someone he thought he would never, ever see. His mother. She was for the most part clean at this point, and wanted to know her son. She told him that his father was in prison, and that she was all alone.
Kaz wouldn't have any of it. As far as he was concerned she was the woman who abandoned him, choosing a needle over her own son. So he lashed out at her. He told her that he hated her, and she could go to hell for all he cared. And that he had no mother. This upset the woman greatly. So much so that she fell off the wagon, and returned to drugs. The next day Kaz was informed that she O.Ded. He felt extremely guilty for this. He found out she was actually clean before she spoke to Kaz, and his harsh words were what drove her off the deep end.
So he hid his feelings deep down. He did his best not to think about it. Why should he feel bad over her death? He didn't know her over a hole in the ground. She was a complete, and total stranger after all. But it was still in the back of his mind. He could have stopped her. But didn't, he felt like he put the needle in her arm. It was this that first brought the attention of the Phantoms. His feelings of guilt, and trouble making ways drew them in like moths to a flame.
And then he began seeing them in all their horrific wonder. His aura came in in the form of demonic-like features of a tail, and horns, reflecting his self-view, and guilt of being a trouble maker, and causing his mother's death. At first Kaz did his best to ignore it, chalking it up to him just seeing things. He thought he was going crazy. The supernatural? That's just stuff for movies, and crappy teen novels. But soon he could not deny the possibility.
This came to ahead when one Phantom tried to possess him, and it was then when he first discovered his powers by setting the blasted thing on fire. From there he found others like him, other Mediums as they were. Upon realizing that the Phantoms are getting more, and more rambunctious he decided to join the club that was formed to deal with them, though hesitantly.
