road/regalia

Ring Road

Support road that consists of fixing and synchronizing Air Treks with their respective riders. It creates the ultimate configuration between a rider and their equipment by listening to the “rhythm” of the body and ATs, subsequently synchronizing them to the optimal levels by adjusting parts and values inside of the ATs.


air treks

His treks have not suffered any major changes, they remain as light and well cushioned inside to absorb impact upon his rough landings. There are built specifically for jumps and speed, there is no ofense incorporated or even considered in them since they are meant for dangerous tricks and transportation rather than battling. The outer layers are sturdy enough so they will not break upon dropping from high places or being constantly tortured with rough jumping.

personality

Carmen is usually on the cheerful side, he has a lot of energy and finds himself constantly in the move or with the need of interacting with others. He is extremely easy to get along with as long as his lack of respect for personal space and straight forrward traits are not minded, though it can be difficult to tell when he is being purposely malicious or just playing a little joke. He is painfully honest when he trusts people and is not afraid of recuring to cussing and foul language in order to make his points come across easier. Despite he adores receiving attention he will never ask for it or poke at people to look his way, he thinks it is nicer and more special if folks decide to set their eyes on him in their own accord.
He can also be overly dramatic and exaggerate gestures or expressions, but there is no real purpose for this and it is simply in his nature to behave in such ways. At the same time he is really sensitive and can lose his temper in the blink of an eye when a nerve gets broken, which will lead him to blow up and then literally dash off while crying, for he despises this side of himself.
history

Camil grew up in a family consisting of his father, his mother and a younger sibling. None of them were particularly loving or caring for each other since both children had been just an 'accident', but their parents still tried to move on with their new burdens and without making too much drama about their situation. They were a young couple though and so the father had to do with several part time jobs to try feeding his family. Camil was always particularly louder and chaotic than his little brother so his parents developed a stronger preference for the little kid, so of course favoritism took place a couple of times. Their older son was no fool though and he saw how things were going and also noticed how his sibling was supposedly more loved than himself. His paranoia was fed with the day to the point he could not help seeing his family as one of only three members, the father being the strong figure, the mother the imaginary of care and the little child a seed of hope and inspiration for them to move forward. Camil on the other hand only brought more troubles than necessary and did not even know how to calm down his mischievous behavior.

And so, he fled from his house one night not even sure about where he would go or what he would do to survive. He wandered the streets for a few hours under the dark sky, still questioning his act of recklessness with an empty stomach. That was when his eyes met with a 'flock' of people cutting through the air as if they were just born to fly. It was something a bit shocking despite he had heard about AT's but he had never seen them in action so closely until then. The experience was inspiring and so the kid tried to chase after the group despite he had nothing but his shoes to follow them. But naturally the pursuit ended with just a very exhausted and hungry boy, leaving him to just wander about to either get back home (despite his own mind's protests) or find some place to spend the night at.
It was then in the middle of his expedition, he found a mechanic, a woman around her late 40's or early 50's. She was a widow and felt some pity for the little kid, giving him a place to stay at for the meantime since he refused to say what had happened or why he was all alone in the streets at that time.
The two remained a bit distant even as days went by, although they discovered a small affinity for finding out how things worked, how to fix them or make something completely new from what others would call junk. Still, the woman was more focused on putting her hands into vehicles, bigger machines built for heavy transportation, while Camil was still marveled by the speedy AT's he had seen in action (something the woman thought of amusing).
Weeks later, Camil's family got a hold of his whereabouts and tried to pick up their son, but he refused to go back because of the life he was making with the mechanic despite she was not exactly a maternal figure for him.
In the end, Camil's parents decided to let the kid move back and forth between his original home and the one he found at the mechanic's place. He received his first pair of AT's just so he could move on faster whenever he wanted to get home.

It took him a couple of years of intense practice, honing his skills at repairing AT's by using spare parts the mechanic got for him at cheap prices, until health issues caught up with her and she had to retire from her job.
Since Camil's focus laid with AT's he decided to start working as a messenger, delivering packages, making favors for people in exchange of money since the imaginary of his family being happier as a group of 3 members only stuck forever in his head and so he ended up living on his own in a small apartment, where he found more peace than he ever had anywhere else and it was also the place he focused in learning about tuning. He had heard about it before, so he decided to give it a try since simply fixing AT's left him with a sense of emptiness. The impression left on him from the 'flock' from long ago was so freshly preserved in his memories that he developed a passion for one day making someone fly as high and with as much power as them.

...

During the ordeal with Vehemence and just like the other tuners, Camil lost his ability to tune properly, which was literally driving him insane since he thinks of this skill to be the only thing he has in his life. The skin of his fingers and some of his hand palms was severily damaged due to excessive forceful attempts at tuning that ended in failure, leaving a few dark marks where skin was peeled off or cut from frustration and manipulating tools too roughly.
The fact that his rider was injured along with Regent did not aid his emotional unstability until Vehemence was taken down for good.

He has been spending most of his time now trying to hone the skill he thought was lost but at the same time he tries to get over his compulsive and self-destructive tendencies out of concern for himself as well as the people he holds dear. His life became much more stable overall, working still as an auto-mechanic while trying to fix his messy habits. Though other than that he remains as the usual peppy and obnoxious lad he has always been.

emblem



relationships
Keiko: Sees her like a little sister of sorts or just someone he should watch over because of her weak personality and is willing to get in a fight to protect her. Loves her cooking and thinks she is adorbs but is not too sure about her abilities for riding. Still is willing to teach her a thing or two.

Kotose: Hates her with such a passion it is not even funny so tends to forget her very existence. Wishes her the worst of fates and that hopefully she will end up crippled to laugh at her misery ...

Aiden: Cool guy, nice to talk to and has high spirits. Admires his ability to be wild and free yet remain composed, so thinks he will reach far.

Baz: Dislikes him but not to the point he hates Kotose, still thinks he is a self-centered jerk that should lose his tongue. Kicked him in the stomach once for making Keiko cry. In more recent events though, their odd behavior (Baz and Camil's) made them click somehow, though their relationship is based on calling each other names and flirting if not making out, except not anymore because Camil is more than taken ahaha.

Teru: His rider and another of his special friends. Camil has some kind of brotherly or tutor relationship with Teru, though he constantly picks on the poor guy and presses stressful matters in an attempt to break his shell forcefully. He loves Teru though not in a romantic manner and finds him as not just a very competent rider but also a very interesting human being that represents two sides of the same coin.

Alexis: One of his most precious friends and the target of a deep platonic love. Camil cares for her deeply and feels dishearten at the fact they might not see each other as often as he would like, still he considers her extremely important for his life since she has been there for him during rough times that not even the others he considers close have heard of. He loves cuddling with her and bombarding her with the best compliments he can figure out because he thinks she has all the rights in the world to feel special.

Cougar: A girl he has gotten to hang out with once or twice, she is a cool and fun person he enjoys being around with. Her mysterious ways make him curious but not enough to chase after her.

Reve: Easily excitable and random from what he has seen, he thinks of Reve as humorous but has had only a few interactions with him so far.

Regent: After a long time of simply teasing and trying to pick on this lad or push his buttons, Camil ended up falling completely for him since he makes the crazy brat feel special and loved. Camil loves and cares for Regent more than for anyone else, he has been working out his promiscuous tendencies for the sake of their relationship even though there was never a formal confession. Still, they both seem to know where their feelings for each other stand and have been dating for over a year now.

likes

Bold colors (bold, not blinding neon), speed, feeling the wind on his face, acrobatics in mid air, competitive riders, asymmetry, impaired numbers, creativity, tuning, crimson camellias, tattoos, lip piercings and Regent.

dislikes

Judgmental people, superficiality (very hypocritical about this), paired numbers, symmetry, people who cannot/do not laugh at all, gore or too much bloodshed, being looked down upon, butterflies, closed minds, heavy grassy meals, dull flavors.

extras

-He can never wear, consume, own anything too symmetric as it literally sends him into panic.
-His favorite number is 3, along all its impaired multiples (such as 9 and 21).
-He dyes his hair regularly and sometimes swaps colors for his own amusement.
-Stands at 169cm tall and weights about 41kg.
-His family is Italian though he was born and raised in Japan. He speaks Japanese, English and Italian fluently, though has an accent and tends to roll his R's frequently.
-Originally left handed but now is ambidextrous, something he got after he injured his left arm during a rough fall (and the end of his dream to be a rider).
-Usually his shirts, sweaters and tops overall are loop sided or falling to help an asymmetric look.
-Favorite color is pink.
-Has a fragile stomach, so he gets easily sick from eating/drinking too much and upon witnessing massive blood loss.
-Light weight with alcohol, but he is too stupid to know when to stop until his stomach begins to cry in agony. He has been trying to stop drinking though since it usually ends in random one night stands.
-Tends to smoke when really stressed, tries to avoid it though.
-Never responds to 'Carmen' only Camil, unless you yell at him hard enough.
-His right nipple is pierced and the chain attached to the his ring on his lip leads to a normal ear piercing. He also has Regent's signature tattooed on his left hip on the same color as the one on his face, but it is not visible for the most part. He likes to keep it as a private mark only Regent would be allowed to see.
-His fragile bones and overall weak condition is due to poor eating habits that he is trying to work out. He pretty skinny and bordering towards being dangerously underweight.
-Acrobatic and overall skill wise with AT's he has the level in between an B or A rank rider, yet he is unable to actually compete or go beyond this because of his fragile body. He might be able to beat a talented rider on a race but nothing else, so like everyone he has 'wings' just that they are weak and forever broken to make him truly fly on his own.</sub>
