Hector Yamamoto


"The key to success in combat is to not screw up."

Murder doesn’t necessarily mean evil, right?

FULL NAME: Hector Yamamoto
ALIAS : Western Samurai
NICKNAMES: Sensei
DATE OF BIRTH: August 9
CURRENT AGE: 29
GENDER: Male
NATIONALITY: Japanese
ORIGIN OF BIRTH: Los Angeles, United States
OCCUPATION: Teacher
APPEARANCE: Hector is a very tall, well built individual. In combination with Hector's luck in getting taller genes, he has spent hours working diligently to put on a layer of muscle over his natural frame to put his weight just over 90 kilograms in virtually pure muscle. His skin is fairly tan, and overall makes him quite a striking figure to observe. Typically, he can be seen around the academy wearing either a shirt and well-fitted pants (see image right). In this outfit, Hector typically wears a somewhat tight graphic t-shirt of varying odd design. Often times when teaching, Hector chooses to wear a baggier sweat suit [x] for the sake of having greater moving capacity as well as allowing for greater "interaction" in the classroom. When on missions, Hector wears the typical exorcist uniform, [x] in an overcoat fashion. When in serious combat, Hector typically removes the coat, untucks the shirt, rolls up the sleeves and loosens the tie, or simply removes the torso layer altogether. Underneath his clothes, Hector wears wraps around the lower part of his torso that serve as his only layer of upper body clothes when seriously engaged in combat. Otherwise, Hector rarely exerts enough effort against opponents to warrant this degree of seriousness in combat and will rarely even unsheath his sword.

But those who do take it upon themselves to kill others, have to be prepared to have others try to kill them.

HEIGHT: 185 centimeters / 73 inches
WEIGHT: 93 kilogram / 205 pounds
BLOOD TYPE: B+
EYE COLOR: Brown
HAIR COLOR: Brown
PIERCINGS: None
TATTOOS : None
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: The two most distinguishing features of Hector's appearance are his facial hair and spiked hairstyle. Though both seem intentional, Hector cannot grow much more facial hair than a small goatee on his chin, and his hair almost naturally spikes upward. That said, the hairstyle is accentuated by Hector's somewhat wide ears, as well as the fact that he does put a small degree of energy in to the styling of his hair for the sake of maintaining his image.

And that’s what they call the law of Karma, my friends.

PERSONALITY:

• Hector is a fairly outgoing individual. He cares little about how others view him, and thus acts based on his heart and his instincts. Though not concerned with making friends, Hector always seems to have a few based on his odd charismatic air. Whether it's kendo, boxing, exorcism, or anything else, Hector has developed a fairly substantial group of people who at least admire him to some extent. Among these, in the field of being an exorcist, Hector has made the least allies. He's mildly annoyed by the fact that most others seem more concerned with some sort of bizarre idealism than making friends, and as a result has been known to not get along with some of the more uptight exorcists. Many view Hector as cranky because of this, however upon getting to know him they would learn that he is far from this. On the other hand, he refuses to try to get along with others due to the fact that they are too cranky. Sometimes, Hector has been known to try to get others to have a good time, however more often than not their push back makes the effort not worthwhile. He'll call them a workaholic or uptight and then be on his way. That said, Hector himself is not lazy nor overly laid back. He simply knows how to have fun, and seeks out good opportunities to do so.
  
  
• Though he might not seem like the sort, Hector has a big heart and his feelings are rather easily hurt. Whenever someone ignores him, he feels a bit offended, though does not show it. Along with these traits, Hector is known to be rather loyal to a fault and will stand strong for whatever he believes in. His sense of friendship runs deep and once he has a friend, he will hold on to that friend and keep him through thick and thin. In many ways, Hector is almost like a dog who follows it's owner around blindly, though has just as much of a bark as a bite. More often than not, in combat this side of Hector's personality shows through. When he's fighting alongside his comrades, he will always be sure to put a quick end to the attacks of the enemy with little other thought, channeling all of his power and abilities into making sure that he fulfills his goal and that his friends and colleagues remain safe no matter what.

That’s why good or bad, the ones who are left standing are the ones with the strongest wills to survive.

TRUE CROSS OCCUPATION: Tactics in Combat Instructor
EXORCIST CLASS: Middle Second Class
AFFILIATION: Exorcist
BASE OF OPERATIONS: True Cross Academy
MY HISTORY:
Hector Yamamoto was born in Los Angeles, California nearly three decades ago. Though his heritage can be traced back to Japan, his parents mutually determined that living in America, it would be much more important for their child to have an American name. Thus, Hector was named after the character in the myth of the Iliad, who died defending his homeland. Possibly not the best namesake, Hector still strove to be a strong individual, both in personality and physical strength. From a young age, Hector could be described as an "individual," and he rarely had concern for what other people were doing. In many ways, this made him into an ideal leader, however he was a difficult child for his parents to raise, as he seldom did what they wanted him to. They decided to enroll him in kendo - against his will - and forced him to practice everyday. Hector was skilled with the blade, however he couldn't see past the fact that his parents wanted him to do kendo. Virtually all of Hector's decisions derive from doing what he wanted and thus, while he continued to do kendo, in his mid teens, Hector took up boxing on the side.

His parents were understandably upset with his decision. In their minds, boxing would only ruin his focus for kendo, and cause unnecessary harm. Yet, despite their protests, Hector continued to box. Through his teenage years, he became quite skilled in the art, to the point where after his graduation from high school, he became a professional boxer. At this point, Hector cut off his ties with his parents: they insisted he attend a university, however against their wishes he chose to pursue a career in a sport they entirely disproved of. For the most part, Hector was a successful boxer. In his first year of fighting, he had four fights, all of which resulted in victories. However, in the second year things shifted for him. He faced off against an odd opponent, with a sort of bloodlust he had never seen before. Hector was practically beaten to death in the first round, but going into the second round, he noticed something odd about the opponent. It was almost as if the entire form of the other fighter was demonic, with small creatures buzzing around. A man who was not his coach approached him from the corner. In a few words, the man explained that the opponent was not a mere human, but rather a human possessed by a demon. By injuring Hector in the first round, the demon had now allowed him to see such creatures in the world. Then, the man went on to explain that he was an exorcist, and that a continued fight would be unwise. Though Hector protested, the man convinced his coach to throw in the towel (withholding information about the demonic opponent).

Following this incident, Hector was too embarrassed to fight in the rings again, instead choosing to hunt down the man who had pulled him out. Upon finding him, however, Hector unknowingly launched himself into the world of exorcists. Lacking total awareness of the situation, Hector hardly even realized what had happened until he was already in training. All he knew was that being an exorcist would give him a home, as well as a place to fight honorably. Being much older than other exorcist recruits, Hector's training was mostly in the field. And, in the field, Hector grew a greater awareness of combat situations. Though not the most skilled fighter, Hector's ability to quickly analyze situations made him a sought after exorcist. And, it was this prowess that earned him a spot as the teacher at the academy. Once again, this decision was rather frustrating, however there was little he could do to change the opinion of those in charge. Throughout this part of his life, Hector simply stumbled along, hoping that at some point everything would stop, if only long enough for him to see everywhere that he's been.
RELATIVES: After cutting off his ties with his parents, Hector essentially has no connections to any relatives.
MY GOALS: To rid the world of demons and have a job  

[Rain Water Resonance]

The world being what it is, a lot of people out there deserve to die, don’t they?

MEISTER PRIMARY TYPE: Knight
PRIMARY ABILITY: War God - The ability War God is the special ability that only True Knights are given from birth. These Knights are those who have chosen to primarily fight as a Knight. The War God ability allows a Knight to turn an ordinary weapon into a Demon Weapon. The down side to this ability is that a Knight can only forge a single Demon Weapon their whole life time. If their weapon breaks they will need to find a Demon Weapon Smith to fix their weapon or they might be taken over by the Demonic Powers they sealed within their weapon. This ability is useful for every Knight mainly those who were unable to obtain a Demon Weapon through the approval process. Now to turn your weapon into a Demon Weapon your character will have to defeat a Demon in combat and take hold of their soul but cutting it in half. The soul will then be absorbed into the blade of the weapon granting the weapon the major ability of the Demon. Now remember you only get one chance to forge a Demon Weapon so rushing to forge a Demon Weapon against the first Demon you see is not very wise. But once you defeat a Demon and have absorbed their soul during the Rp you will send a message to the M.O.D in charge of Demon Weapons and you will tell them where you defeated the Demon and what demon it was. The mod will then give you further instructions on how to complete the process and make the transfer of power permanent.


WEAPON OF CHOICE: Edged Weapons
WEAPON NAME: Saigo no Kaze (最後の風, Wind of the Last)
TYPE OF WEAPON: Katana
WEAPON DESCRIPTION: Taking from his childhood nickname, Hector chose to select his weapon as a traditional, bladed katana. The weapon was carefully forged and weighted so that it would be useful for Hector and few other opponents, thereby making it difficult for others to wield. Typically, Hector keeps it locked away when at school, and only brings the weapon out when he is leaving campus for a mission, or something of that nature. As a demon weapon, the blade has typical exorcism properties, however is also known to have mild strengthening properties through and interaction between the blade and the user, increasing the weight and thereby the force behind each swing by approximately ten kilograms.
WEAPON APPEARANCE: [x]

MEISTER SECONDARY TYPE: Fighter
SECONDARY ABILITY: Mystic Eyes of Illusion - An ability that was created from taking the eyes of a Dragoon and the talent of a fighter. The Illusion eyes is a very interesting ability it doesn't have an actual time limit like the Mystic Eye the Dragoon uses but it has a very interesting weakness. The power of the Illusion eyes comes from making eye contact with your opponent once, it can be directly or indirectly, as long as the fighter see the opponent they are able to create multiple clones of themselves. The number of clones they create is said to be unlimited, these clones have no physical substances meaning physical strikes of any kind flow through them and the only way to remove the illusion is to end the eye contact of the Fighter. Now with the clones have no physical body but the illusion of one means they have no shadows but they play on sound and scent which makes them appear to be real. They may be unable to injure the target but if the target can't find the real enemy they will face their death within in a matter of minutes. To those who have made zero eye contact with the Fighter they will not be able to see the clones and the target will look merely psychotic.

FIGHTING STYLE NAME: Orthodox Boxing
DESCRIPTION: For the most part, Hector's fighting style is simply that of traditional boxing. When in a fist fight, Hector has a tendency to fight like an in-fighter: planting his feet and preparing for a slugging fight. In these hand-to-hand fights, Hector is most comfortable when he's in a close enough range that he can throw close and powerful punches, yet not so close that he can't fully extend his arm.
BASIC FORM NAME: In-Fighting
DESCRIPTION: Simply put, Hector plants his feet and prepares for the fight. His blows are a combination of straights, hooks, jabs, and uppercuts, all used in combination for the sake of hopefully knocking an opponent to the ground.


RUNES:
Rune Name: Ath nGabla
Description: Ath nGabla is also known as a spell for death-matches, it’s a curse of one-on-one combat by those whom enter the targeted area. The caster becomes forbidden of retreating and the target cannot refuse combat. The area is closed off by a protective barrier that will reject all that tries to enter the combat zone. The only method to leave the area is to kill the caster or for the caster to kill their opponent. Once casted even the caster cannot retract this command. If the caster tries to recall the rune they will die as punishment for calling forth such a forbidden rune and not following the code of the Knights of the Red Branch.
Activation Limit: Until the caster is killed or the targets of the caster is killed
Usage Limit: 1 Per Battle

EXPERTISE:

• Strategies - At a glance, Hector might not seem like the sharpest tool in the shed, however in actuality he is one of the most skilled strategists in the Vatican. Though he lacks smarts in some areas, Hector makes up for any slowness with a quick and intuitive grasp at situations: he can easily look at what is happening, and quickly calculate and determine the best move in any varying circumstance. Despite the fact that Hector's sense of strategy is largely intuitive, he was designated as the instructor of combat strategies because of his fighting prowess and attention to detail.
  
• Kendo - In his childhood, Hector's parents pushed for him to participate in a nearby kendo dojo, and this made for another area of relative ease for Hector. His natural size gives him a leg up on most combatants in terms of strength, and though he might seem like a slow brute, Hector is surprisingly quick with the blade and has been known to leave opponents who misjudge him in the dust. That said, Hector never fully appreciated the art of kendo until later in life.
  
• Boxing - Against the will of his parents, Hector took up boxing as a kid. His skills were much stronger in kendo, however he devoted far more time to his training as a boxer. Though he had less natural skill in this area, constant training has made him into a much more well defined and ferocious fighter, thereby making him a force to be reckoned with both with and without his blade.
