Biography: Toshiro was the average japanese business man, he had a decent life, all seemed good. But all good things must come to an end. Toshiro was late for work on March 20th, 1995. He had been smelling a strange smell the entire subway ride, but never noticed any thing "strange" about it. A man got unto the same train and stared at Toshiro, who, at the time, had an empty seat next to him. The man walked up and sat next to him, Toshiro didn't notice at first, but the man had been wearing a surgical mask usually work during flu season. The man glanced at Toshiro for less than a second, then another man ran for the head of the train. The other man ran fast as he gave some sort of signal to the man next to Toshiro. The seated man reached into his pocket and shoved a needle into what sounded like a juice pouch. The man got off at the next stop and ran away immediately as the entire train's riders collapsed due to the punctured pouch of what was later clarified as Sarin. Toshiro had died because of this terrorist from the Aum Shinrikyo. When he reached "the light", a mask flew at him, slamming onto his face, and spread a liquid over him which would later become his new skin. A pain went through his spine, apparently, he had lost mass in his back to create room for crow wings. Toshiro did not know why this had happened so fast... and why it happened at all. He seeks vengeance on the ones that caused him death, and maybe, just maybe, his wife's new husband. Toshiro possesses the abilities to fly, dodge anything fired, pass through things as if they were liquids, and send a shockwave through the air, harming the enemy, and sending a horde of crows to the enemy. He is known as "Crowman", "Leader of the Crows", and "Yase Ppochi".


One Apocalyptic Deviation down... so many left to go... and yes, the event that caused Toshiro's death is the Tokyo Subway Sarin Gas Attack, the man with the surgical mask is Ikuo Hayashi, and the man running towards the head of the train is Tomomitsu Niimi. Both men did exist, and were assigned to attack the Chiyoda line. So... Enjoy?

UPDATE: Kanji added for "Phantom", better quality coming soon.
