The A-2 leather flight jacket was developed for pilots in WWII and was famously worn by actors like Cary Grant, Alan Ladd and--of course--Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. Here is my own vintage jacket, worn by a much younger me:
His quirk is called Exploit and is suitably broken; he can ignore the laws of the universe temporarily at the cost of huge amounts of energy.
Gravity, states of matter, survival needs like blood if he manages to get into that kind of situation, you get the idea. The brit is left tired for days if he uses it for even a couple of seconds, so he tries to maximise its usefulness while using it sparingly.
Class representative of A-2.
His demeanour made quite a few of his peers immediately suggest him. That or his fancy little monocle.
Joins study sessions with classmates where possible but never training sessions.
He likes keeping his developments secret so he can play it off during lessons or field work.
Always has tea on hand.
Yorkshire Gold, caffeinated so he doesn’t feel the impact of his quirk as much. He has multiple gold-coloured flasks so he can always carry some nice toasty brew.

Tom is one of the more theatric students at Y.T., preferring to work solo within groups to silently boast his power until mentioned by others. He has been taken down a peg since he passed out while stuck in his dormitory door because he ran out of energy mid-phase. How such a quirk exists is absolutely terrifying. I can’t tell if it’s for better or worse that he is the one to wield it.
the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
Every time i purchase a moderately expensive item the Karl Marx on my shoulder is like "For shame... you purchase yet another pair of jeans when you have 5 already at home, you despicable commodity fetishist? In my time, a man with five outfits would consider himself blessed beyond measure, and yet you want for more, while there are children starving in the world??" to which the second Karl Marx on my other shoulder says "Objection! Those 5 pairs of jeans all wildly uncomfortable or have holes in the ass, due to the decline of clothing quality driven by the fast fashion industry, unfortunately making this purchase a necessity... Plus, by purchasing a slightly more expensive pair of jeans from an independent brand, seeking quality over 'brand recognition', they are deliberately trying to avoid engaging in conspicuous consumption!" to which the third Karl Marx clinging to my back like that beetle from Doctor Who says "Remember, my friend; the less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt — your capital. Buy the jeans," to which I say "I don't know if any of you have actually read Karl Marx"

He has spent much of the day stomping from room to room while yelling his immense displeasure.
