He lay in the street, his head pounding as he looked up into this unknown sky. The irony was not lost on him, and he chuckled slightly, sitting up and shaking his head, his hair alternately silver and ash-blonde, depending on how the light hit him. He wore many shades of grey, to go with his overall coloring - pale skin and that ashy hair, complimented by a blue-grey polo shirt a size too large, and well-tailored, charcoal slacks.
He pulled himself to his knees, silvery feathers brushing the ground and he turned, ouching one wing with a gentle, elegant hand.
Where had that last jump taken him, he wondered? He felt... flat.
That's it. That is the last time I jump without looking where I leap, he thought to himself, folding his wings behind him. Likely, most wouldn't be able to see them. Whatever the place, humans were peculiar creatures.
He'd used a great deal of his strength, making that last jump - he would need to recover for weeks, if not months, before he'd be able to do more than slide from place to place.
"Well, this is a face I wasn't expecting to see."
He turned, startled, only to confront... familiarity.
"You."
The voice chuckled, and the man known as Mr. H leaned against a wall. "Not me, at least the way you know me... if it weren't for an overzealous vision, I wouldn't know what you're talking about. This way is much better, don't you think?"
"I suppose. This place is... different."
"It's a crossroads. Many things find their ways here." He thought for a moment. "It appears, even things from farther away than I would imagine."
The silver stranger nodded. "It looks like I'll have some fun here, for as long as I may stay..." He flicked his hair back between one ear.
Mr. H smiled. "Then I bid you welcome to Urbadelphia... Joshua Kiryuu."
The silver stranger grinned, wings shuffling on his back.

((Gee. I seem to have some issue with really cryptic and non-descriptive registrations. Hmmm. How to explain.
Joshua is from another plane, only visiting Urbadelphia for reasons yet unknown. He has the ability to 'jump' planes, but this ability is disabled - however, he can use the ability to 'slide' between physical places, as long as they're not too far apart. His other 'power' is his wings - they're under a strong illusion to keep most normal humans from noticing them, but it only works when they are closed and out of the way. It's more a... confuse-the-eye kind of thing. He knows how defend himself, and his extraplanar nature allows him to act as an Otherborn - see Crossings, etc.
If you need me to tone down his abilities, or make any more explanations clear, please let me know.))
