Stardust

"When you achieve something, it is never 'thanks' to someone. Same for when you fail, it is never someone else's fault, but your own. So be proud of yourself. So the next time, when you think that you have saved someone by your own power, that is when your power starts to grow."

- Stardust to Shy in "Growing Power".

David W. Jones (ディヴィー＝＝ジョン), better known as Stardust (スターダスト), is Great Britain's Hero as well as a rock star and philanthropist. He is also the founder of Black Cross, an international aid organization, and holds concerts for charity. In spite of this, he has a personal reputation for being heartless and lacking in empathy.

Appearance
David is a tall, remarkable man in his late twenties with fair complex. He has spiky blond hair with his fringe swept to the right side of his head, just above one of his small, tired-looking blue eyes. He has cheek dimples and heavy eyebags which are revealed to be something present since his childhood. David is most seen with a keen expression, making him look even more heartless to others.

As Stardust, he wears a black bodysuit with a five-pointed star on his chest and a belt, his pants larger to the end and finish at his boots, which also have five-pointed star in each one of his toe boxes. He also has a pair of Heart Conversion Bracelets with yellow lines on his wrists. He is also usually with red glasses, a beige coat over his Hero costume and he also slicks back his hair, letting just a lock of it in front of his face.

Personality
David is well known among other heroes and even civilians as being someone apathetic and heartless. By the time he met Shy for the first time, he was pretty straightforward to the point, as well as having no trouble talking about technically horrendous things like tearing someone's finger off. Stardust is also very suspicious and ends up judging people based on what little he sees of them in their appearance and their gestures. At first, he judged Shy to be an incapable Hero.

He seems not to be bothered by anything, not even by the open hatred that Spirits has for himself, besides daring to provoke her several times when they are alone. Although he says he doesn't care about the comments about his lack of feelings, it is clear that he cared and still cares about it, especially in his younger years when he ended up getting into fights when he was called "heartless". When Shy claims that he too had a Heart, Stardust is left stunned since no one had ever said that to him before.

Stardust is a very capable Hero, regardless of his personality and what they say about him. Precisely because he does not get attached easily to people, he is able to take more drastic actions, sometimes seen as unethical, in favor of something greater. Still, Stardust has already shown many times that he is able to act kindly, as he praises Unilord's cuisine. He finds Shy's determination interesting and a curious trait about herself.

Abilities
Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Stardust has proved that he is a very capable fighter, an immense challenge to Shy who was a Hero for just about a few months at the time. He could hold himself on his own against Shy and easily beat her up without moving much.

Equipament
Heart Conversion Bracelets: As any Hero, David has possession of a pair of bracelets which syncronizes his Heart spirit into power. He can transform into his Hero form, Stardust, through them and they also allow him to hear other languages as his own language and also comunicate with people from other countries. He also can use his unique ability with them. Stardust can also comunicate with other Heroes through them.
 * Flow (の「れ」をる): Through his bracelets, Stardust is able to control all types of flows around him. As such, he can redirect pratically anything that is thrown at him. During his fight with Shy, he was able to redirect her physical attacks and, as such, she couldn't damage him; even after she discovered her flame ability, she barely could hit him.
