Ezra Pound, who also goes by his full name, Ezra Weston Loomis Pound (エズラ・ウェストン ルーミス・パウンド Ezura W~esuton Rūmisu Paundo) is a gifted Jazzmen Agent and also the organization's means of transport through different countries. His ability is "In a Station of the Metro". He represents Wales.

## Appearance

Ezra is a young adult boy with scruffy strawberry blond hair. He has amber-brown eyes and bags underneath, resulting in a dazed and stressed expression, usually from his depressive state and tear glands, he is often in a saddened state due to not being seen or interacted with at all. Although Ezra does not go out so much, his physical build remains to be pristine and masculine. His ability disallows him to change his clothings, remaining to be perpetually in a college student uniform, although still in a fine state. There are instances his clothings can be removed with the use of an Ability, but will manifest itself back over time.

## Personality

Being as he is, while knowingly expressing sadness and grief, he still shows a great amount of empathy and care to those who can interact with him, this being any Ability-user. It wasn't until his lover, Olga, a handsmaid of the Jazzmen Organization, had Ernest introduce himself to Ezra. It was the only reason Ezra did not fall to melancholy, and instead suppresses his sadness more whimsically due to feeling more connected and recognized as a person than a ghost. Ernest says that he is a compassionate man who just needed to feel more alive again, if one can feel his pain, he will have your respect.

After becoming a Jazzmen Agent he has been a valuable method of transportation in which gives some form of aid to his co-workers. Ezra considers himself a member of the organization despite never being there in the actual headquarters. He happens to also interact with Olga daily and seem to be very close with each other, in turn giving Ezra strength to live and continue. It is like Ezra becomes a new person, and becomes full of glee whenever he gets to see her again.

While it is true he is unable to escape his ability on his own, Olga's ability helps him suppress his ability and be able to explore the world again. Though this is only temporary for about 4 hours at a time, it is enough to get to spend some time with other people now that he would be visible. Surprisingly so, Ezra is also a good cook, and is the reason to have kitchen equipment inside his ability.

## Background

His family was in a state of destitution, and because of it, Ezra tried to help out in every way possible. Being still just a student learning in High School, he wanted to get himself a job that could provide his family some sustainability. Ezra himself had no typical friends, so it was the most productive thing to do, but he saw jobs as way too much work, especially living in Great Britain. Searching for ways to get money, he sought advice, and it led him to his entrepreneurship. Through much guidance and hardships through his education, he eventually established a small business as a life career coach. This business held itself up greatly as Ezra had inner knowledge of what career path his clients would be perfect for.

Thanks to his business, he was able to sustain his family and more or less continue his education without worrying about his family. Another day passed and as soon as he was done with school, he prepared to get to his business place, taking the underground metro. As soon as he was to enter the metro, however, a strange light of letters surrounded him. Not sure what that was, Ezra thought his mind was just playing tricks on him and continued. Waiting for the train, he noticed some kids running towards him. Not being able to evade them in time as he would collide with them, he did not feel anything. Opening his eyes he noticed the kids that ran in front of him were now right behind him, something was off. The kids were close to hitting Ezra, but somehow they were able to get behind without getting hurt. Then he would see his parents walk up to the kids, and with a shock, breach through his body as if he was intangible. Ezra screamed, falling back, but his voice could not be heard by others. Then the train arrived, and he immediately got in.

Once inside the train, he thought the metro was being haunted. Though, as soon as the train started going, he was suddenly all alone. Where did all the passengers go? He was now getting frightened, being alone with not a soul to see him, it horrified him. The train then suddenly shifted with colorful lights sparkling from the windows, noticing he was traveling in some sort of wormhole. Ezra had to get out, so he was to use the emergency stop, then as the train had finally stopped, it opened its door to reveal the same passage to the entrance of his business place. Not sure what was going on, he was to get out, but then, an invisible wall collided with him, breaking his nose. Ezra couldn't get out of the train...it was restraining him from leaving it...trying his effort to get out of the train, he soon gave up and fell on the floor, crying. Having unintentionally slept under his sadness, he woke up to find him lying on the Metro where he was before. He was stuck here...and nobody had any idea...eventually as time progressed...Ezra was reported missing.

5 years later...

Everyone gave up searching for him, nobody suspected that he was alive, even though they did search every Metro, nobody could see Ezra even then. There was no hope for him, and his business was probably in shambles, his family still in grief. It is a wonder he was not gonna give up his life after everything. Through these five years of clinging to the little life he had, he became more knowledgeable about his "ability" to cross through different areas and spaces that have entrances. It would have been a convenient ability had he been able to get out of the train. His clothes did not get tattered at all or get dirty, which was strange enough as it was. Ezra was just lying, not bothering to get up when it was necessary, nobody gave a damn anyway, he was a ghost. That was until he felt something touch him, and it scared him so much that he screamed. A scream from a female voice was then shared, and with widened eyes of shock, had eye contact with someone. This woman...could see him. Her name happened to be Olga Rudge working as a waitress at a local cafe. How was she able to see Ezra? Ezra started to cry, begging for her to not leave, as his greatest desire was to have someone to talk to. Olga unsure of herself complied, and Ezra began telling her everything. This made Olga confused, but Ezra would show her by entering a train, showcasing his ability to pass through all kinds of entrances inside the train. Ezra also told her he could not leave the trains if they were not within a Metro. Still, Olga found his case to be very supernatural and wanted to help out as much as she could. So while she was, she would keep Ezra company.

1 year later...

While life has not been too miserable, he is still in a miserable state. He was just sitting on the bench, reading a cooking book. Then a person stepped in front of his view, Ezra looked up to be looking at a man, his eyes again widened in shock. Beside him was Olga, as she explained to Ezra this man has the possibility of helping you out. These 6 years of not knowing why he had this ability came to light, as the man told him that there were people with abilities around the world...and that only ability users could both see and interact with Ezra. The man would offer Ezra a working place, the only job a ghost like he could ever do, become a spy agent. By doing so, he would be seen, interact with many more people, and not suffer from loneliness. Considering it, he finally found solace and believed in the man's words, agreeing to join him. Ezra then asks for this man's name... and the man replies his name is Ernest Hemingway, and reaches out to give Ezra a handshake. Ezra reluctantly held his hand and took his hand with a firm grasp. After just 2 years, he was finally given a place to stay, where he could not be forgotten, and Olga reassures him that he won't be forgotten. The two also start a great relationship together as Ernest gives Olga a job as a barista inside Ezra's organization. He had now the deepest respect for Ernest and would continue to show his gratitude as a Jazzmen Agent til the present time.

## Ability

His ability, **In a Station of the Metro** (地下鉄駅構内, Chikatetsu-eki Kōnai) is both a prison and a transportation-type to Ezra. It allows Ezra to remain hidden in sight in any subway and become undetected by non-ability users, being imprisoned in any underground train station there is in the UK, essentially "metros". This gives him the moniker of "The Ghost of the Subway", however, ability-users can detect Ezra unhindered. One would consider this a passive application of Ezra's ability.

The true ability of Ezra is the trains in those metros, it fully activates once Ezra enters one. This makes the train "his", and has it become a dimensional gateway through any doors and openings utilizing the sliding train doors. Similar to Lucy's **Anne of the Abyssal Red**. The clear difference is that it can go from any position in the world, though it would need the layouts' information first to reach it. Ezra could also control how many compartments the train has, and can telekinetically move objects inside the compartments. Limitations however are that Ezra has to use these trains himself to have them move, and he could receive unwanted guests inside his train if they are fast enough. More or less he is still a human.

There's been speculation on what would happen if one broke out of the train while choosing its dimensional destination/position, well the outside would look like traveling in a wormhole. If one were to fall off from the train while the train was still inside the wormhole, the person would end up back to the area they were in before entering the train. Communication can still work despite being inside the dimensional-travelling wormhole.

Unorthodoxly, this is the only ability Ernest cannot borrow with his ability due to it being both a dimensional-type and an environmental-type ability.
