Character: Itsuki "Ikki" Minami
Series: Air Gear
Timeline: Chapter 78 Juuuuuust after the Behemoth Arc
Wiki Us a Bio/History: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itsuki_Minami

Elaborate, if necessary: While his wiki has a ton of information and from the looks of it, a good synopsis, most of it is past the chapter I'm taking him from.

Ikki is more or less an idiot most of the time. At the beginning of the story, he's the top fighter for the Mid Eastern gang. He enjoys food, pretty girls (well, not the pretty girls he lives with...most of them beat him up), video games, fighting, but at the top of that list is Air Trek. Air Trek is everywhere in his day and age. They're essentially rollerblades, only much cooler, much faster, and they have a small motor in them to propel the person to greater heights.

Ikki only truly becomes interested when he sees a mysterious girl flying through the sky on them, doing beautiful twists and turn each time she moves. Although, as an introduction to the story, he is also shown the dark side of Air Trek. The Skull Saders, an assassination group of Storm Riders. They were hired by the Mid Western gang to take Ikki and his gang out. They utterly disgraced Ikki, and allowed all thoughts of Air Trek to turn sour in his mind.

The girls he lives with though, the four sisters of the Noyamano family, Ikki receives encouragement to fly using A-T (Air Trek), and after a little thought, and his friend's being morons, he puts them on for the first time. They move him forward on their own accord (more like Ikki just doesn't understand completely sensitive the A-T are), and the manual flies from his hands as he quickly moves towards a ledge. He is forced to make a choice. Either attempt to turn away from the ledge or fly. Through out this whole first section of the story, every refers to 'flying' and many comment on how they believe Ikki will fly higher than anyone else. With the Noyamano sisters' (mostly the encouragement from Ringo) encouragement in mind, he leaps off, trusting in the ability that people say he has.
The feeling releases him. Instead of fearing it, he embraces it, letting himself soar through the sky with Ringo, declaring loudly to the whole world that he's going to "smash every last one of your skulls." And once Ikki sets his sights on a goal, he doesn't stop until it's reached.
One of the many people he first meets is Simca, the girl who first inspired him to fly. He's completely infatuated by her, for both her skill in the sky and her body. Of course, she doesn't do anything to dissuade him, and is constantly flirting with him. In reality, she gets him entangled with the Storm-rider group, Laser-Boa-Dogs by giving him the emblem she took from them. Ikki shows us how truly capable he is thinking on the fly and how he can turn a situation to his favor.

We also discover just how tough Ikki is. As stated by Mikan, one of the four sisters, "Ikki's toughness isn't normal." Mostly because Mikan and the eldest sister Rika beat up on him as a child. Ahhhh childhood~ How it toughens us all. Any ways, Ikki is much more resilient and can take hits that normal person would be knocked out from. Or maybe even dead. Ikki though, because of his determination and hardheadedness, is able to withstand nearly any blow and keep on trucking.

He wins his battle against the Laser-Boa-Dogs, but proclaims it was a draw. Inuyama, the leader who he was fighting, had been injured earlier in the chase. He didn't find it fair that he had won under those circumstances, so he offered the emblem back to Inuyama. Inuyama refused to take it, so Simca snatched it from Ikki and Inuyama began his chase after Simca once again.

With each goal, Ikki soars higher and higher, meeting new people, and learning new things. One of the many things he's learned, is that many people believe that Ikki will become the next Sky King, because of his skill and his persistence. At first, Rika is less than pleased and tries to deter him from becoming a storm rider by beating him. He proves to her though his determination and pledge to break free of her 'safe' cage. Ikki believes his place is in the sky, not being protected for the rest of his life.

His two closet friends join him on his journey, Onigiri and Kazu, Buccha, a very very very large (but not fat...he may look like it but in reality, he has less than10% body fat) Storm-Rider from Team Yaou, and then there's Akito/Agito. A very special case. Akito/Agito is easily one of the most talented Storm-Riders And a pain in the ass to Ikki most of the time, regardless of his amazing skill with A-T. Agito is a stuck-up, holier-than-thou bastard to him, and Akito stole his first kiss, clinging to him every chance he can get. Yea. Not much more needs to be said about this. (except you know. Agito is pretty good in a fight and....you can't always be mad at the Akito :|)

With the ragtag group of newly formed friends, Ikki figured it would be a great idea to start a team; team Kogarasumaru. And what a ragtag group they are. All vary greatly in their skill level, but some how, they always manage to come out victorious, even when things seem bleak.
The tl;dr version? Ikki never gives up, and he won't stop until he reaches the sky. Nothing will get in his way on his path to become the Sky King, and if something does, he'll punch it so hard, it won't know it's own name.

What are they bringing to Nuadoria?:
-His air trek
-Kuu. Kuu is a small crow that lives in his hair, using it as his nest. He's lived there ever since Ikki was young.
-A screwdriver that may or may not be able to fix up small problems with his A-T

Third-Person Sample: The ground. Not exactly something he was totally accustomed to meeting face first anymore. It hadn't felt like he had fallen. It felt like he had just woken up...hadn't he been standing though? Ikki pushed himself up easing on to his A-T. At least no one had stolen them. He would have had to kill someone then.

Rubbing the small pebbles and rocks off of his face, he skated forward, gliding effortlessly through the streets. Except for the bits gravel here and there would trip him up, but who was counting? He grinned slightly. Sharky would be. And then that reminded him. The Behemoth team and Agito getting injured. Injured. Head ache. Oh the headache he had. That stupid shit-eyed bastard, and his insane punching. Ikki rubbed his temples as he skated, face looking distressed at the pain throbbing in his head.

He was so glad they had beaten them. Otherwise the headache would have been for nothing, and what a pain that would have been to deal with their gloating, and the damn head ache. And Agito. Wait. What had happened after they had won? That one squad that Agito came from was there...the Wind squad? It didn't really matter...unless they had captured them?!
But this place definitely wasn't a prison, “Hey! HELLOOOOOOOO? SHARK BASTARD?! KAZU, ONIGIRI? BUCCHA?!”

No response. Well that sucked. Ikki crossed his arms, pouting slightly.

Well, if nothing else, he would find something to eat, and then figure out a way home. Rika would kill him for getting lost...as would Mikan...and probably Ringo. His expression twisted at the thought as he reached into his pocket, searching for some money that was hopefully there. Just his luck though, there wasn't money, but something else.
Hard. Oddly shaped.

Ikki pulled the device out of his pocket just Kuu decided to take off from his hair. Well, at least he was here.

“Where the hell are you going you damn bird!?” Ikki called at him as he flew up and out of reach, “Don't go far! This isn't home.”
Ikki looked down to the small device. It reminded him of a walkie-talkie. It was worth a shot.

“Hey! Someone there?!”
