-BIOGRAPHY-

He learned early that the world doesn't care about what you can't do. What it sees is what you show. Randall's magic was never flashy... air manipulation that only worked on his own body, too subtle for anyone to call impressive. His family called it useless. His friends laughed behind his back. His first crush told him he wasn't worth her time. But the worst part wasn't the magic.

It was the glasses. He needed them to see clearly, but the moment he put them on, the other children had a new thing to mock. Four eyes. Blind kid. Can't even see without help. So he stopped wearing them in public. He learned to squint, to stand closer to things, to tilt his head just right. Better to be seen as slightly off than to hand them another weapon.

He's been grinding since childhood, turning his "useless" magic into something deadly through sheer, stubborn will. Air that only affects himself? Fine. He compresses it around his legs to kick through stone walls. He wraps it around his body to move faster than the eye can track. He runs on air itself.

But there's always a risk. Without his glasses, his depth perception is unreliable. He sometimes misjudges a distance, a kick whiffing past a target because he couldn't quite see how far away they were. He trains to trust his instincts over his eyes, but the flaw remains. He could fix it by wearing the glasses. He won't. That would mean admitting that the children who mocked him were right about something.

The mockery didn't break him. It forged him. Every insult became fuel, every laugh a reason to train harder. He stopped trying to impress people who only saw his flaws and started impressing himself. His body became a weapon. His magic became a storm contained in muscle and bone. And when he finally started winning fights, he didn't feel satisfied. He felt something else... a strange, bitter understanding. They were weak. Not because of their eyesight or their magic, but because they chose cruelty over growth. He swore he would never be that.

That's why he pushes everyone around him so hard. Not because he hates them
