Tomoyasu Chikazoku to Re-Destro in "Sad Man's Parade"

Tomoyasu Chikazoku ( (ちか) (ぞく) (とも) (やす) Chikazoku Tomoyasu?), also known by the code name Skeptic (スケプティック Sukeputikku?), is a board member at Feel Good, Inc. who was secretly a leading member of the modern Meta Liberation Army. He is one of the main antagonists of the Meta Liberation Army Arc.

He later became one of the nine lieutenants of the Paranormal Liberation Front, an organization formed from the remnants of the League and the Meta Liberation Army.

Skeptic currently serves as a commander for the "Vanguard Action Intelligence Regiment: Carmine" along with Himiko Toga.[1]

Appearance

Tomoyasu is a tall and lanky man with shiny dark hair that reaches his waist, worn down with a neat fringe hanging over his eyes. He has a visibly long nose and a wide mouth with notably straight teeth.

He wears a long-sleeved black turtleneck shirt and dark pants.

Personality

Tomoyasu is a steadfast believer in the ideology of the Meta Liberation Army: that human beings have a right to use their Quirks whenever and however they want. He is loyal to the Grand Commander, Re-Destro.

He becomes extremely irritated when people can't figure things out immediately from minimal details and without an explanation. He doesn't seem to realize that this is an unreasonable expectation.

Tomoyasu has some sense of camaraderie, wanting to kill Himiko Toga for killing his fellow Top Commander, Chitose Kizuki.

In battle, Tomoyasu is a ruthless and calculating opponent. He is not above psychological warfare, having sent duplicates of Twice after the real thing, knowing full well that Twice was traumatized by clones of himself. He calmly ordered his puppets to break Twice's arms to stop him from resisting further and reacted to Himiko's reawakening with only the minor irritation that he would have to adjust his puppets' strength in order to kill her. He appears to view his puppets as little more than fodder, even using them as chairs and to hold up his laptop while he commands the rest from a secure vantage point.

He later shows a more maniacal side to his personality when faced with the possibility of failure, which he seems to fear greatly. His eyes pop out and develop crazed swirls and he turns unhinged and unstable, mumbling and muttering obsessively to himself that he didn't fail. As seen when he initially failed to capture Twice and killing Himiko, he immediately became obsessed with not failing and denying that he did, assuring himself and his superior that everything was within his prediction, and later acted recklessly by entering into the front lines of combat himself in order not to fail, despite knowing that he was completely abandoning the strategic advantage afforded to him by his Quirk to be able to combat someone in a safe location.
