Personality
Just like the Fragment he represents (Boredom) would suggest, Anly is most characterized by a complete lack of motivation and general indifference to all that surrounds him. Even in a world as abstract and complicated as the inside of Bradley Lake's mind, he will still mostly remain unimpressed by everything and simply keep a static and solid expression on his face; then again, this is also partly due to him being a fragment of Lake's mind and is hence somewhat familiar with some of its superficial layout, even if he doesn't remember everything. He is also extremely pessimistic and will usually confront all situations with a bad predisposition; furthermore, he is never fully satisfied with his current predicament and will complain often about it, claiming it is boring. In short, he is the kind of person that, if his life was saved by a watch resting in his breast pocket by stopping a bullet, he would rather complain about the watch being broken instead of being thankful for his luck. He is selfish and will usually mutter things like 'this only happens to me...' or 'why do I have to put up with this?', often blaming his bad fortune for whatever happens around him. Most of the time, his boredom results in his sloth and complaining to be taken to such an extreme that it is downright ridiculous, reason why he often ends up as the comic relief of the bunch.
While generally unmotivated, there are occasions when Anly can exhibit a completely different demeanor and demonstrate a much more energetic and expressive mannerism, barely resembling his regular self. This is usually triggered when he finds someone or something he deems interesting and worth his attention. While this includes many random traits, in regards to other people, what attracts him the most are spontaneous demonstration of strong emotions, which will prompt to react accordingly. He is also extremely attracted to risky situations and it could be said he has grown addicted to adrenaline rushes, enjoying high places and fast-paced action. However, given the nature of the things he finds interesting, these instances tend to be short-lived and regardless of what caused him to become motivated, he will go back to his regular, indifferent self right after the cause of his interest has passed. During these occasions, his passion, dedication and energy could be considered among the greatest (if not the greatest) of all the Fragments.
Regardless of whether he is bored or not, he is consistently a deep entity who cares more about the other Fragments than he does for Bradley Lake or even the rest of the world, even if he would never show it. He has a great deal of self-confidence (which usually just fuels his laziness, as he will simply say 'I COULD do it if I WANTED to') and will always stand by what he thinks is right, those being the only instances in which he will show some diligence. He likes the liberating feeling of the wind hitting against his face.
Reality Appearance
In real life, Anly has the appearance of a young man standing 6'0'' and weighing roughly 77kg; he doesn't have a particularly strong build, but is in good enough shape to exert a reasonable amount of physical labor and stamina. He has short, light brown hair he usually doesn't go through the trouble of brushing and is kept in a messy manner. His eyes are big and dark brown in color, but due to his inexpressive behavior, both of these can be easily missed by others despite the fact that he wears glasses, which would usually further emphasize them. He has overall sharp facial features, with a pointy nose, thin eyebrows and hidden ears.
As far as clothing goes, he usually wears quite regular clothes consisting of t-shirts of varying colors but normally preferring darker ones and jeans. He is also fond of wearing sleeveless, short coats with a belts in the middle torso area to hold it closed.
"Character" Appearance
Anly's "Character" appearance has many differing traits from his real counterpart, but can still be identified as the same person quite easily. This version is slightly taller and with a stronger build, being 6'2'' tall and weighting around 83kg. His hair is slightly longer and sports a dark grey color rather than his normal brown one. His eyes are also of a greyish color and he doesn't wear glasses. For some reason, he also has two light, white tattoos on his face: a bigger one on his right cheek and a smaller one right above his left eyebrow.
Even his clothing is merely an exaggeration of his real life preference. He wears the same coat his real life self does, but of a constant white color and several more belts along its chest and back. As far as pants go, he wears a pair of baggy dark blue and black military pants along with a pair of big, brown boots.
Visual Reference
Super-Human Power
Anly's ability consists on the manipulation of air, albeit only to a certain degree; he is able to compress waves of wind together to create masses of airstream pressurized to a massive extent. In order to do this, he must first gather air either by using his hands or breathing it into his lungs, hence creating a mass of controlled wind which he will then be able to compress and unleash. The speed at which the wind compresses in his hand depends a lot on the environment, and the more open and windy it is, the easier it is for him to perform this task, though even in closed spaces, it is not an impossible duty. While all the accumulated wind can be used in many different ways and is mostly limited only to his imagination, its effect in battle depends on how much pressure has been concentrated.
Even if he doesn't have much time to charge the pressure, Anly can still employ the wind in the form of bubbles or lines to push heavy objects with impressive strength, and the more time he has, the stronger and more similar to an actual crash with a physical object the impact will be. Anly is also able to, if even more time is employed, reach air pressures that cannot be attained with current technology through his abilities. Once this point is reached, the pressure is high enough to literally disintegrate anything upon exploding, leaving no trace whatsoever after it. This skill can only be employed in the form of wind spheres, which must be exploded from a distance and they would take several minutes to charge, meaning he isn't likely to ever resort to something like that.
However, his favorite use of this ability doesn't relate to long-range and he will find the most enjoyment when using it to push himself to move at great speeds and reach huge heights, much along the lines of his love for adrenaline. In addition, by making himself spin with wind, he is able to give his punches and kicks a lot of impulse that allows him to pack a lot more of strength in one hit. However, in order to continuously fight using movements of this magnitude it is imperative that he found himself in a free and high environment where gathering air could be done quickly enough to keep up with his movements, reason why he only rarely gets to use this method.
In a way, his ability could be considered a metaphor for his generally bored self. In the same way that wind normally doesn't carry any strength and is merely a breeze, Anly doesn't feel strongly about practically anything and almost always will be seen complaining and lacking in motivation. However, just like wind can grow stronger and even bring forth true calamities (hurricanes, storms, tornadoes, etc.) when certain conditions are met, Anly can become easily the most passionate and energetic of the six Fragments when something truly entertains him.
Equipment
Being a brawler, he doesn't carry any particular item to use in a fight. The only thing he carries is a bag in which he saves all sorts of snacks to eat when he is bored (meaning practically all the time... Boredom Fragment, remember?).
History
Anly was the first of the clones of Bradley Lake to be created successfully and it was through him that the scientists discovered the man's mind could only be replicated by dividing it into certain fragments of his persona. Expecting a semi-robotic entity with a mono-dimensional personality sprouting from only a small part of a fully developed mind, the scientist's expectations were vastly exceeded as Anly grew a full personality that even differed from the original's in many aspects, albeit still maintaining a resemblance at its core.
