IC:
Character Name: Tobio Kageyama
Canon: Haikyuu!!
Canon Point: just after the practice match with Nekoma
Powers: He's so normal it hurts. What doesn't constitute as a power but I think requires noting is that he is almost overly aware of his surroundings, and it helps his volleyball skills tenfold, especially at the setter position.
House: Ainra
Anchor: Sense of hearing. He would still be able to hear NPCs and the gods, as well as his own voice when he speaks (basic body movements included; he can hear his heartbeat and breathing too) but nothing outside of himself from other characters.
Personality:
Talented and intense with a drive to win, Kageyama is almost a typical sports anime protagonist. No, he's not the central main character, but he's right there at the beginning with Hinata; they shape each other and act as a duo for support on court and off court, ending up as very good friends. Where Hinata is shown as a friendly, not-so-good player, Kageyama is the foil who is extremely good at the sport, but stand-offish. His talent with volleyball is extraordinary to most other characters, but that isn't something that changes much. What the series has shown is a remarkable attitude change that comes only after he's arrived at Karasuno and has to learn to work together with Hinata.

He is introduced as a serious, intense person who will do everything it takes to win with hard work, and while all that is true, he's also a big dork. When it comes to volleyball, he loves the sport so much, he gets frustrated when others don't try their hardest when playing. That frustration and determination is what caused his junior high teammates to nickname him the 'king of the court'. When playing, he would bark at the others to jump higher, move faster, and would toss the ball so fast it was difficult to hit. At the end of his junior high career, the others at his middle school finally got tired enough of all the bossiness and after Kageyama set up a toss in an important game, no one came for the ball. He sincerely regretted not being able to convey his feelings properly; he just wanted to get the spikers past the blockers, but his words came out poorly from being a bit socially maladjusted. The setter is the one who is supposed to make a path for them, but all he knew was to try and go faster.

For all of his barking on the court, Kageyama is actually very sensitive. His intense stare is really just a product of how seriously he always takes his opponents. Powerful name? Who cares, he'll take them on. Rumors of being weak? He won't underestimate them. Really, if there's a moment and someone on the other team has done something that has stumped him, outright impressed him, he will genuinely want to talk volleyball with them and learn, if they're willing to teach. Have I mentioned how much he loves volleyball yet? If there is one thing that will put a light in his eye, it's discussing volleyball. Tactics, positions, how amazing it is to see a game live from one end of the court. He loosens up and will actually be excitable and even a bit goofy, showing his age. That's something important to remember too; he's a fifteen year old boy who was called a genius at his favorite sport. Kageyama doesn't brag specifically, but he certainly challenges people on a test of skill. He's hotheaded and has a short fuse despite his cool looks, and he's not good with people at all. While Kageyama doesn't lack passion, he's still too socially awkward to lead a group of people with pep talks or inspiring speeches about volleyball, but talking about the sport makes him excited over every little detail.

Third person:
He knew something was off. Staring up at the ceiling of the strange, black marbled building, just getting his bearings, Kageyama could feel his eyebrows scrunching down and his attention everywhere, but he couldn't place what felt off just yet. Two legs, two arms, all toes.. shifting every limb, just feeling it there, he finally moved to sit up, hearing himself creak on the inside. Staring around properly on continuing to pick himself up, Kageyama looked down finally, then clapped his hands briefly together, just to make a noise in the silent space.

It echoed, he felt the force in his hands, but it didn't sound nearly loud enough. Clapping his hands together again, harder, something still was wrong. What was even wrong, outside of the obvious? Was there something up with this room, maybe?

Moving immediately and seeking out the only door, it's not the crowing of the birds that catches his attention. No, he doesn't even hear them; the movement catches the corner of his eye and Kageyama starts briefly, unsure of just what the mess of black in the sky was until he got a better look. Crows. Just crows. The longer he watches though, the more it feels important to keep watching, especially when they begin lining up single file... ah. They can't be normal birds. Or at least, they're trained. Trained by who, trained for what, is the question he thinks, before it shifts to a simple "trained to swipe people"?

Maybe. Crows aren't big enough to carry people away, but mass numbers - Kageyama shakes his head sharply, reaching up to pinch the bridge of his nose. Now he's starting to think like an idiot, this is clearly some screwed up, bad food induced dream. When did he fall asleep? He definitely remembers getting home from that practice match, but... ugh. What a pain. He's getting an idiot induced headache and there's no idiots even around.
