[Could potentially shift to villainy or vigilantism.]
Reason?:
To fulfil a promise and maintain the peace he'd dreamt of since he was a child.
Casual Appearance:
An average sized young man with a lean build, his pale complection almost ghostly. His hair is wild and unkempt, a spiked midnight black mane running to his shoulders, with a pair of bangs framing his face. His expression is normal blank, an impassive expression devoid of emotions aside from an occasional frown or brooding thoughtfulness. His eyes are a deep crimson with a peculiarly shaped pupil that constantly readjusts it's shape almost like a ponds ripples. Constantly drifting concentric circles.
His attire feeds a natural love for dark colors, with a pale grey long-sleeved shirt, a black overcoat which hangs down towards his thighs with a distinct red trim matching his eye color. A rather mundane pair dark grey pants, with blackened steel chains attached around the sides. These chains have various symbols enscribed upon them in different languages. Each meaning: Strength, Wisdom, Knowledge, and Peace. Finally he dawns a pair of red sneakers which also bring out the red of his eyes nicely.
Hero/Villian Appearance:
Again dark colors are very noticeable, as a black cloak is worn. This cloaks trim hangs to his calves, revealing blackened steel shin guards with crimson engravings in a rather wavy and natural style, paired with leather boots.
The cloaks inside his a deep crimson, with white accents upon the trim. The collar is high, hiding away the lower portion of his face. The sleeves are rolled up towards the elbow presenting gauntlets similarly styled to the shin guards.
His hair is tied back in a messy man bun, with a wooden kabuki mask covering the front. The mask is painted white, with crimson bloody tears dripping from the eye slits, which when worn reveal his blood red orbs to the World.
Personality:
Introverted and socially awkward are the best words to describe him at face value. He is quiet and reserved, not being the type to approach someone for a conversation. He'd rather sit and observe rather than jumping into a situation, which is extremely noticeable with his style of Heroics.
In his early career he was rather straight forward with his approach, until an accident had resulted in his maturing. He learned from his mistakes. He would rather have the hard facts before bringing down an iron fist. That's not to say his combat style even involves such... Barbaric Practices. No, he'd rather not offer the slightest chance of injury. He executes each and every action with speed and finesse.
His trademark is the regal grace that he holds himself with, and the way he holds himself. Above those lower than him, with a cool and collected aura. Matter of fact Indra knows this, in many scenarios he is most often the smartest guy in the room. To use his powers proficiently he needed to be. He didn't gain any physical edge up on his enemies. Only foresight and a handful of party tricks, and he's damn good at what he does.
Despite his calm demeanor, his personality is explosive. An emotional rollercoaster that can shift at the turn of a hat. A family curse of sorts, many Anvidir have suffered from similar waves of emotional distress. They are known to be people who love greatly, and go to immense lengths to protect and secure the bonds they've forged. Though a man who is willing to love must also be willing to hate. With the loss of these bonds that they've worked so hard to protect, if they are severed a malicious hatred greets them the World.
Many members of the Anvidir Family have met rather unsightly demises to this curse of sorts, and Indra intends to find a way to overcome it.
Powers [1-3]:
The Eye of Insight:
Allows the user to view the World in different energy wavelengths, via Time, Space, and Reality.
Through the Time Path, his perception of time is altered in a different speed. One moment the World could practically stand still for him while the next time is flying by, affecting the muscles to react accordingly. This ability also gifts visions from time beyond, almost like a sixth sense of foresight.
Through the Space Path, the ability to access a pocket dimension is gifted. Through direct eye contact, a whirlwind shall trap anything in this dimension. Essentially acting as a safe space and a private World of existence. It's also useful for stockpiling objects instead of carrying them around.
The Reality Path attacks the mind, warping reality with various illusions and tricks of the eye. From simply changing the look of his surroundings to creating a World where here is considered a God, the limits are his imagination.
These abilities can all be combined in some shape, yet the possibility haven't been tested much due to the experimental nature of such abilities.
Weaknesses to Powers:
The Time Path inflicts mental trama upon its wielder, as the various visions that can be shown often aren't pleasant. These visions are more often than not a warning of some type, and difficult to control.
The Space Path is rather taxing when used on larger or moving targets. Whilst being able to instantly kill your enemy by decapitating them within a Wormhole is simple in theory, the energy required is immense.
The Reality path can be fought by those with strong mental fortitude, despite how realistic some of the illusions can be.
The Reality Path can also inflict hallucinations upon its wielder.
The Reality Path is rather dangerous for the key word REALITY. Similar to the Time Path which presents visions from various times in history, the Reality Path can also grant visions but from alternative realities. This makes it rather difficult to distinguish between Our World and an Alternative Universe.
Using combinations of these various powers in tandem with one and other is taxing on the eyes, and can ultimately lead to mild blindness for a given period of time.
Strengths to Powers:
The Eye of Insight has the passive ability to view the energy of the World, essentially allowing him the ability to see the World differently from what most could. He can see the mental and physical health of an individual, and even their emotional state. He can see how electricity moves through wires and all other paths.
The Time Path can be controlled easier in small increments, such as viewing about 30 seconds or so into the future without mild headaches setting in. Anything further is some serious migrane territory.
The Perception of Time ability is the easiest to control withing the Time Path, making hand to hand combat rather simple.
While absorbing foreign objects is difficult for the Space Path, warping the wielder of this ability into the pocket dimension is rather easy. This being said, using the Space Path in such a manner does raise a question? Teleportation, it's possible but only for short distances of about thirty meters.
The Illusions in the Reality Path don't simple affect the mind but also the body. Manipulating the way the body is affected by an experience is an odd ability of the Reality Path. One key point is the ability to inflict pain upon a victim, or even a primitive version of mind control.

Dislikes:
Loud People.
Stereotypical Heros.
Insane Villains.
Difficult People who complicate things.
Those who oppose his ideals, particularly when they are naive and childish ideals against his.
Hates:
Solid Structure, with no room to grow
Ignorance
Having someone standing behind him, and relying upon him. The thought frightens him.
The feeling of Vulnerability.
Brief Reason for going Solo:
The current structure of Hero Society is to rigid in his opinion. There is no room for change, and this leads to nothing changing. A cycle of hatred is born through the constant back and forth of Hero Vs. Villain, which ultimately endangers the masses and both Hero and Villain.
It sickens him.
Ultimately he decided to carve his own path and find a way to a peaceful resolution his own way.
History:
The last living member of a well respected hero family, he was practically groomed and destined to be a hero. His whole life he had no idea that he was being forced down a road he'd later regret, but the words of his peers and subliminal messaging from older heros drew the impressional child in. He never had a choice dispite his superficial feelings for the life of a hero.
The only one who seemed to allow him to be wharves wanted to be was a young girl named Erin, they'd become fast friends during their school days, and practically inseparable. She really was the only thing keeping Indra grounded, and allowing him to enjoy his childhood. He was a stupid kid, who always wished to be the strongest and greatest hero, yet he had no reason to wish for this. He had no conviction.
Erin gifted it to him with her desires for peace. At the time Indra thought of this idea as naive, but it ultimately grew on him over the years. Their methods for obtaining peace though, clashed. Ultimately a falling out occurred, with Indra drowning himself in work. He just didn't want to think, Erin was the only person he really cared much for.
An accident occurred three years prior to the beginning of the RP that brought him out of his mourning, though now it's for a different reason that sadness. Indra is angry.
This system of Hero and Villain dictating his life, and all the good people of the World. Driving his family to insanity to protect them, and leaving him alone for eternity.
Indra intends to break this system one day, by any means necessary.
Reputation amongst the Public:
Once being one of the most well known Heros, nearly making it into the top five, he was well respected and known as a bringer of justice to all.
About three years back though his public face changed, becoming a taboo subject amongst those who follow hero culture. His methods becoming more grey and obviously him going solo. His popularity has been going down recently, as he hasn't been seen much in the public eye.
Now he's simply known as a shadow in the night as opposed to his early career, now avoiding large scale battles and public events.
