appearance
Slightly above average height with the body of a dancer, Wreck is fairly average in appearance within the world of To Be Hero X. His black hair is wavy and medium length with long bangs that often obscures half his face and his purple eyes. Freckles are scattered faintly across his cheeks, with one beauty mark directly below his left eye.

When not dressed up like the nemesis of Nice, he wears a black button up shirt with short cuffs, black slacks, and red vest. Instead of the typical white or black socks, he sports golden socks on occasion.

His villain attire is a full bodysuit that is varying shades of black in color. He wears a mask with a crooked arrow on it, symbolizing how his borrowed powers look when he manifests them. A bold yellow line goes vertically up the front of his suit to keep with the arrow theme, and a single golden arrow on his belt. His arms are protected by black gauntlets that have a red crystal inlaid in them, the same crystal that is imbedded in his sword. Wreck also wears a medium, waist-length yellow cape that resembles an arrow as well black boots that come up to just below his knee, as well as black knee guards with yellow accents.

Both outfits incorporate a diamond-shaped red crystal, with both his casual outfit and his villain outfit designed to mirror and support the hero Nice's white and golden attire.
PERSONALITY

loyal, persistent, perceptive

=

fraudulent villain, gray morality

-

copes by drinking, a little too loyal

Despite his dream of becoming a hero, Wreck ultimately set aside his dream to play the part of a villain to Nice's hero. In a way, he felt that he was achieving the same result in a roundabout way. Wreck would play the bad guy terrorizing the city and Nice would swoop in and save the day. Every defeat for Wreck was a win for Nice and another boost in Nice's Trust Value. The more Trust and belief Nice had from the people, the stronger Nice would become, and eventually, Nice wouldn't need their staged fights anymore; he'd be a real hero of the people. And then, perhaps, Nice would be able to help Wreck build his own trust and become a hero in his own right.

And so, Wreck plays his role for the sake of Nice, justifying that in boosting Nice into a strong hero, the city would be better protected in the future. He tolerates each loss, some more brutal than others, because to Wreck, the end justifies the means.

Although he allows himself to be Nice's stepping stone into the spotlight of herohood, Wreck doesn't allow it to tarnish the friendship he has with Nice. They still hang out together outside of work, drinking and laughing together on a regular basis.

During 41 AC, Nice disappears for weeks without any prior notice, and Wreck becomes increasingly concerned. To the public, it's just Nice focusing on training or spending alone time with his girlfriend Moon. To Wreck, though, it feels like abandonment. Rather than bitterness, Wreck feels despair that his best friend suddenly stopped talking to him without any explanation. He calls their manager persistently to try to get in contact with Nice, but he's turned on every time. It's only when he sees Lin Ling as Nice on TV that he finally becomes angry, thinking that Nice intentionally left him behind to live his life as a hero now that he "made it" and no longer needed him.

Outside of his role with Treeman, Wreck is fairly laid back. He is able to laugh and joke, and doesn't mind teasing Nice if it gets him to sulk. Even though his work is staged and everything is fake aside from his "superhero" abilities, Wreck still takes pride in what he does because his staged failure as a villain makes Nice a stronger hero, which can only lead to Nice better protecting the public from the real villains... someday.

He's someone who might like to be in the limelight, but doesn't mind stepping into the shadows for the greater good, or for the sake of friendship. He even gave up his own dream of becoming a hero for Nice's sake, although he probably felt the chances of another agency signing them both as heroes, while a non-zero possibility, was still pretty low. Better to boost Nice than trying to find another agency to sign them on.

Because he got his start as an idol under Treeman, Wreck was exposed to the entertainment industry early on in his life. An industry that is essentially a game of inches, where small sacrifices are expected, and eventually those small sacrifices morph into larger sacrifices. With Treeman both working as a media corporation and a hero agency (on top of real estate), those same practices would be used in both segments. Wreck worked under Treeman for 6 years and was most likely desensitized to bits and pieces of the darker side of the industry.

HISTORY

TW: Suicide

As a teenager, Wreck was signed on together with Nice to Treeman Corporation the same year it was founded. Initially starting out as idols, the two of them completed their hero training program and, within one year of signing on, were given contracts with new roles to play. However, their roles were different, and Wreck was cast into the role of a "villain" meant to oppose Nice, who would play the "perfect hero." Because he wanted to support Nice, Wreck set his own dream of becoming a hero aside in order to help build Nice's reputation as a hero instead.

Having started his career as an idol prior to signing a contract as Nice's on screen nemesis, Wreck was no stranger to the cutthroat nature of the entertainment industry and was most likely unsurprised at the way in which it bore similarities to the hero industry. Similarly, he wasn't shocked about being given scripts to perform fake fights with Nice in front of crowds. Just like the entertainment industry, the world of heroes also heavily relied on smoke and mirrors; a single scandal could sink your entire career just as a well placed heroic deed could skyrocket you into the Top Ten.

Wreck and Nice would train together, practicing their choreography that drew heavily from ballet to make their staged fights showier and flashier. The two would don similar outfits that contrasted in color, with Wreck using his borrowed (most likely based primarily on Fear) powers of matter manipulation to carefully reshape buildings and the surrounding area. Wreck would put civilians in just enough danger so that Nice could swoop in, save the person, and perform their staged fight choreography together.

They did this together for six years. Nice would win every time, of course. He had to. Nice was the hero, and Wreck was the villain.

Despite their different roles, Wreck was at his happiest when he was together with Nice. They would often meet up to drink and unwind after spending the day performing. Eventually, Nice reached the top 100 heroes and was asked to move into the Hero Tower with the other highly ranked heroes. As Nice's popularity soared, the need for Wreck serving as Nice's nemesis became less and less, although he would still have his staged fights with Nice every so often. Unbeknownst to Wreck, Nice's deteriorating mental health under Treeman's CEO Shand eventually caused Nice to more or less withdraw from the public eye.

One day, Nice stopped responding to his text messages entirely. Wreck followed up with their manager at the time, Miss Jay, who declined letting him speak or visit Nice. At least several weeks of silence went by until Wreck saw Nice on TV. It was upsetting to learn that Nice had seemingly abandoned him entirely.

Miss J allowed for Wreck to play the part of the villain eventually. The script was simple: crash the wedding between Nice and Moon, then attack Moon in such a way that she'd be able to activate a blood pack and fake her death. However, when he arrived at the venue, Wreck became immediately suspicious of the identity of the man in front him claiming to be Nice. Ignoring the script, Wreck worked to separate Nice from Moon so they could finally talk. Nice seemed confused, even as Wreck grilled him on why Nice had stopped answering his calls, texts and emails. Frustrated that Moon kept intervening and trying to fake her death, Wreck eventually used his geomancy powers to elevate himself and Nice high into the sky where no one would intervene.

Finally in private with Nice, Wreck demanded to know what happened to Nice. When Wreck was met with confusion and a declaration that the other man was in fact Nice, Wreck ripped off his own mask in protest. He had known from the moment Nice opened his mouth that he wasn't the Nice that Wreck had known for over six years, a suspicion further fueled by the small differences in how Nice had been fighting with him.

Wreck presses him further, even as Moon teleports to Nice's side to reinitiate their staged fight. Annoyed, Wreck grabs Moon by her ankle and slams her to the ground, threatening to hurt her if he doesn't get his answers. Finally, Nice admits that he isn't the same Nice, that the real Nice died by suicide.

It clicks then why Nice hadn't responded to him for weeks. Distraught, Wreck resumes the fight, taking on both Moon and Nice's replacement, Lin Ling. Moon and Lin Ling work well together, and eventually, Lin Ling punches Wreck hard enough to make him fall from the raised architecture he had created.

Although the last thing he sees on the way down is Nice's replacement, he smiles none the less as he realizes his dream of being a hero together with Nice had shattered long ago.

ABILITIES
Hand-to-Hand Combat.

With a fighting style heavily rooted in both ballet and martial arts, Wreck is fairly proficient at hand-to-hand combat, able to take on both Moon and Lin Ling fairly well. He performs it regularly in his staged fights with Nice.

Matter Manipulation.

A power most likely using controlled Fear instead of a Trust Value, Wreck is able to manipulate matter in ways that suit his staged fights with Nice. He is able to reshape skyscrapers like Tetris blocks in a matter of seconds.

Geomancy.

In addition to his ability to manipulate matter, Wreck is impressive control over the earth itself. He is able to raise staggeringly tall pillars of earth that reach even above the clouds.

Swordplay.

His sword is part of his staged fights with Nice. It helps him channel his energy in a way that allows him to both manipulate matter and also create energy beams as a weapon, and is most likely the source of his power.
