ABILITIES:
SKILLS:
WEAKNESSES:
- Wind Manipulation: The ability to bend wind to his will. He can slow down or speed up the speed of wind. He can create gusts of wind out of the air around him. He also has the potential to create massive wind-related weather, such as tornadoes.
- Wind Transformation: He's able to transform his body, including the clothes he's wearing, into wind to avoid attacks or travel a specific distance. It takes a lot of concentration to stay transformed. The longer the distance he travels, the more of a physical toll it takes on him.
SKILLS:
- Hacking: He's mostly self-taught when it comes to hacking and has developed a high skill in it.
- Criminology: He has a Bachelor's and Master's degree in criminology and uses it to work as a freelance detective.
- Combat: He's skilled in basic self-defense as well as some generic combat. He mostly makes up his fighting as he goes along or learns from YouTube videos.
- Genius: Though his actions can often lead people to believe the opposite, Ivan is actually a child genius. He's mostly devoted his time to learning about technology, including hacking, and criminology.
WEAKNESSES:
- Vulnerable: Though he has powers, he's still as vulnerable as the average non-powered human. He's not bulletproof. Any weapons or toxins can hurt him.
- Distrusting: Ivan has developed quite a distrusting nature toward people he doesn't know well. This often affects him forming new relationships, including allies, and makes making enemies easy.
- Prone to Paranoia: Along with his distrusting nature, he's often described as paranoid, though he thinks he's being rational and actually can resent being called paranoid, easily creating a rift between him and certain people.
- Hot Headed: He can be angered pretty easily when things don't go his way, also triggering his anxiety. He also gets hot headed around specific people at times, especially his older brother, Scott.
- Reckless: He's an act first think later kind of guy, often, even if he likes the idea of having a plan. When in the field, he prefers to go with his gut, which can easily get him in trouble.
- Lack of Control: His powers can be as unpredictable as the very wind he manipulates. The stronger he tries to push his abilities, the more he tries to push his limits, the harder controlling and maintaining both of his powers become.
- Physical Toll: Both of Ivan's powered abilities take a physical toll on him, depending on the strength he attempts to use them at. It can range from headaches, nose bleeds, to bouts of physical pain and even passing out. It often happens shortly after he's used his powers and especially happens when he tries to push the limits of his powers.
Appearance
GENERAL: Ivan stands at five feet and ten inches tall. He has an ivory skin tone, taking that from his father. His hair is a medium brown, cut short. His eyes are a dark green shade. He doesn't have any specific clothing style, rather preferring to wear whatever catches his eye, believing clothing shouldn't be gendered. He also has several scars from his struggle with self-harming littered across his arms, including a thick scar across each wrist that he doesn't remember how he got.
COSTUME: Ivan's Sparrow costume is mostly black with the occasional royal blue accent. He wears a black shirt underneath a royal blue jacket - on the back of the jacket is his symbol, painted in a sort of "spray paint" fashion. He wears a black domino mask over his eyes and a black choker around his neck. His pants are black with a royal blue belt around his waist - long enough to be wrapped twice, styled to appear as if it's hanging off his left hip. His gloves are black with the tips of the fingers royal blue. His boots are black with a thick royal blue line across the tops and the bottoms of them colored royal blue - they also stop just short of his knees and have a small, flat heel.

Personality
Like stated under his weaknesses, Ivan is distrusting, hot headed, reckless, and prone to paranoia - as well as conspiracy theories. He's very standoff with people he doesn't know that well, especially those he's just met, believing that trust should be earned rather than just given away. His anger issues, being a hot head, is possibly something he's inherited from his mother. He can even snap easily with those that he cares about. Because of his distrusting nature, he's prone to keeping secrets even though he tries to be honest with the people he cares about, mostly his family.
He's definitely an act first think later type of guy. He likes the idea of having a plan but never seems to have the patience to come up with one - at least never one that's bound to work. He looks up to some of the heroes of Aegis, wishing to be on their level someday though he's unsure if he'd ever want to join the team.
Ivan also struggles with self-harm tendencies, clinical depression and has Bipolar Disorder - the latter two he currently takes medication to help with. He doesn't remember when he first started self-harming but it's still a battle he fights every time, working his way at recovery.
While no longer the starry eyed wannabe hero he was at sixteen, he still believes he can do some good. He's just unsure with certain lines whether or not he'd ever choose to cross them. He's extremely protective over his loved ones, especially his family. Even if he doesn't always see eye to eye with them, it's clear he'd do anything to keep them safe.

History
Ivan was born the middle son of Monica and Hank Stane. As far as he's aware, he had a normal upbringing - except for the fact that his father left when he was six years old. From then on he was raised, along with his siblings, by a single mother. However Ivan has very little memories from before the age of thirteen which was the same age his powers manifested at. He'd been at school, pushed around by bullies when his hands suddenly started glowing white and the next thing he knew, a large gust of wind pushed the bullies back.
Naturally he ran to his older brother, Scott, a senior at the high school, panicking. It was then that he discovered his brother had manifested powers of his own. The two brothers decided to keep their powers between them. At sixteen, he discovered his sister, Lisa, and younger brother, Julian, had powers as well. The siblings stuck together for the most part, often butting heads, as their mother was often at work as one of the FBI's top agents.
At sixteen, Ivan first dawned the identity of Sparrow, clad in black and red. Having no experience or formal training, it quickly didn't work out well and he hung up his cape - so-to-speak. He focused on school, having earned a Bachelor's and Master's in criminology by the time he was twenty years old. After graduating, he started working as a freelance detective as well as a hacker for hire, keeping both jobs separate. He's recently decided to re-dawn his Sparrow identity, choosing different colors for his costume this time.
