Abel is an elite-tier student of Wellston and one of it's many bullies. He is famous for frequently being on the school's rooftops.
Appearance[]
Abel is a short male student with peacan-brown hair and tortilla-brown eyes. He is normally seen wearing the Wellston school uniform sans the vest.
His speech bubbles are in the same colour as his hair, and while his ability is active, his eyes glow yellow, and his body is surrounded by a reddish aura.
Personality[]
Like many students at Wellston, Abel follows the school hierarchy, especially when it comes to restricted areas; nicknamed "Rooftop Guy" due to how he monopolizes the place. He also looks down on low-tiers and shows no hesitation to use violence against them, even claiming they should be grateful when he lets them off with just a warning. Overall, he comes off as being very arrogant.
Despite his aggressive behavior, after the appearance of the Jokers, Abel recognized that the violence of the higher-tiers towards the lower-tiers is what drove their actions. He thus agreed to try to not act as aggressively towards them, after being convinced by Remi, but refused to actively help her because of his fear of the Joker.
