Abel Mistral "In this cruel, vicious world, hope is for fools."
The Biography
Birth Name: Abel Mistral Aliases: Vayu Gender: Male Age: 17 Birth Day: 11/03 Arcana: Moon Arcana Place of Residence: School dorms School Year: 2º year Class: Class 2-A - Surikawa Yui
After School Club: No.
Part Time Job: Singer on a band. Not professional.
Appearance:
Image:
--Hair: Medium length spiky natural white hair. --Eyes: Normal shape, natural blood red color. --Build: Athletic. He is very thin and small, yet, his muscles are quite developed. --Voice: Normal-deep pitched mellodious voice (very talented singer). --Height: 1,75 meters tall. --Weight: 50 kilograms. --Clothing: Refer to picture. Wears many kinds of clothes, yet, seems to specially like leather and punk style clothes. He has his neck bandaged due to a cut received during a fight.
Personality: Silent and aggressive, Abel is best described as a cynical highly antisocial teenager that holds no respect whatsoever by the rules of society or anyone but a very reduced group of close friends and familiars, living alongside the rest of humankind rather than within it. This is not because he has a grudge against the world or that he despises society, not at all, but because he just doesn’t give a damn about it.
Even though he once used to be kind and friendly, now he is extremely harsh, ruthless and easy to piss off. He never seems to be happy, even when things go his way, it's like nothing on this world could make him happy. Furthermore, positive optimistic people and even happiness itself irritate him. This is because he knows deep within that he cannot obtain himself that joy everyone else seems to love rubbing against his face.
Cold, hardly trusting anyone else and seeking to make as much damage with his words (when not with his fists) to anyone that seems to have a pleasant existence with no cares, Abel is a total jerk with almost everyone that approaches him. He is likely to get offended easily and beutterly selfish. He will not hesitate to be cruel and stomp on almost everyone around him to get what he wants when he wants, for, to him, the welfare of the huge majority of this world concerns him as much as the world is concerned about his. If someone gets screwed or hurt because of his actions, that’s their problem.
Yet, Abel’s behavior is not natural, but a product of the deep existential crisis he is going through. The certainty of a premature death, only a few years away, has privated him from what he had always clinged to, what had been always been his drive in life, the future. A future on which he had poured all of his the contents of his heart. Now, privated from a future, all that positive energy has become the rage and angst that consumes his very soul today.
This explains something not too many people believe about Abel. That very deep inside he is not only actually not a camplete jerk, but also a good person... Yet, the remnants of his previous self are burried so deep inside that you might as well bring a shovel if you want to unveil them. And even so no one can guarantee that once you find them they will be still alive; and if they are, it is very likely that their manifestation comes in the form of very, very though love.
The other thing this gives explanation too is the change of attitude Abel seems to have around people that, like him, are suffering and cannot find meaning or joy for any reason. No longer cold or harmful, Abel displays a compassion that many wouldn’t have believed possible in him, providing help, support and even friendship to these people just because, as he would say: “Life’s already too much of a bitch for us not to flock together”.
Back when everything seemed to be going fine, Abel was quite the intelectual kind. Appart from being one of the people with the best grades on his class, he read a lot and instructed himself to greatly augment his culture. Because of this, he soon developed an artistic knack that lead him to love things as poetry, art and music. In fact, though he has abandoned the first two, he loves music even more than before, using it as a vehicle to unburden his soul from the heavy emotional weight he has to put up with every day and night. It is because of this that he formed a group with his new friends and why, though he hates being somewhat famous within the city, he hasn’t quitted the band yet.
One of the things that worry Abel the most, is his own mental stability. No matter how filled with rage and despair he might be, he is not a blind fool. Each day that passes the emotional burden is increassed, sometimes to points unbearable points... He knows that he cannot keep going this way, that sooner or later, he’ll crack down. A change must be made, a new direction has to be taken if he wants to keep going... Yet, it’s so difficult to move on. With no place to go, with no future to work for, he is utterly stagnant and unable to make a move to change his life, what has made him grow to feel imprisoned within reality and himself, unable to solve his problems for himself and too proud and cynical to accept any help or evn help that anyone CAN help him.
He attempts to find a solution to this problem in the words of the wiser men he admires, philosophers that have changed the world with the sole use of their minds such as Epicureus, Kant, Marx and Hegels. His interest on philosophy goes to the point of learning new languages just to learn the original versions of the works of those philosophers that interest him the most, for example, he learnt Spanish both to read Ortega’s works and the books about one of his idols, Buenaventura Durruti. He learnt German as well to learn Nietzsche’s works, being “Thus Spake Zarathustra” one of his favorite books of all time. It was hard, but having so much free time gave him the chance to do so... However, not even in these books he does find a solution to his issues.
Another of the things that make Abel feel alive is physical violence. The thrill of the battle, the adrenaline of strife makes him able to forget for a moment not only his condition, but that he is human. When he fights, he is not sick, he is not a man. He is just a living thing against another, competing to see who’s flame is more intense... This is also the reason because he can’t stand fighting, for it means that someone’s flame is brighter... Which is true, but damnit... It is painful... That is why he trains a lot and when fighting, he'll always give it all. If he looses a fight, he'll always be up for a second confrontation at any time, regardless of the difference of strength. While that time comes, he'll train day and night to get stronger and stronger to surpass those who once surpassed him and feel alive once again.
The other thing he can't stand is doing the same thing everyday, routine is not something he'll put up with. As he says, “Following an scheme day after day is as good as being already dead”. Thus, he is an impulsive individual that gladly takes any chance to enter the unknown and live an adventure, not caring at all about his welfare or even if he’d survive. After all, shoud things turn to the worst, it wasn’t like he would have survived much longer, plus, he would have some fun before going down and underground... Abel does not realize this, but the reasond behind this is a faint wish of autodestruction, so he may not suffer any longer.

The Background
History: Abel was born from very rich Czech parents resident on Japan because of their work. Because of his albinism, they became over protective with him, what, combined with the way he was shunt away for being so clearly different, prevented him from having to many friends as a child.
Being a lonely kid with no friends or brothers except for Sheshou, a friend of the family, Abel opened his mind very soon to the future, fully embracing it with hope due not having anything else to cling to. Thus, he spent all of his days dreaming with it, making plans, constructing different realities and gazing at the endless possibilities for a bright tomorrow that opened before him.
With both illusion and determination, he began working hard to achieve everything he had dreamed for, quickly becoming the very first on his class and very popular for his kindness and joyful personality.
Yet, it all reached an end a year ago, when in a routine medical check he was diagnosed a lethal heart illness that could not be healed even with the best treatments and medical attention his parents could afford, and that would end his life in a few years.
The shock was enormous for Abel. He was going to die. Nothing of what he had fought for would ever become true...
Something inside him broke when he realized this, changing him forever. In just a month, he went from the perfect student and son to what he is now. A punk filled with rage against everything and everyone in this world that hardly gives a f*ck about anything.
He began ditching school and mixing with young criminals and other scum, often getting into trouble. His relationship with his parents got worse and worse until eventually he moved to a school dorm, tired of the way they treated him... It wasn't like they didn't treat him well, but the grief, the anguish on their eyes... It was unbearable for him.
Due to the emotional pressure, Abel decided to dedicate himself to one of the things he still found joy in. Music. Forming a group with another three punks, he quickly earned some fame for his incredible voice, his heartful lyrics and his passionate interpretations. And of course, he hates it.
Shortly ago, he picked on an interest on the rumors regarding the disappearance of several people and has been wandering around in search of some clue in hopes of some thrill to distract him.
