Hachimitsu Honoka is of Hingan origin. He has found himself primarily in Thanalan, far from home, in search of a certain man last spotted in the region. He is wary around the local populace, choosing his words carefully. He is more likely to keep to himself than to engage in small talk, but is very friendly and polite when approached.

Appearance

Hair/Fur: Deep Purple
Skin: Somewhat Light
Eyes: Lavender
Height: 5'5
Weight: 125
Build: Well-built but slim.

Hachimitsu stands proudly at five and a half fulms, his every movement careful and precise.

There is evidence of his well-off upbringing: His long hair is often tied back in a pleat or a high ponytail, kept out of his face by a braided red ribbon. His nails are well kept, and he seems to expand a good amount of effort to keep his appearance clean and well groomed.

His face is often hidden by a mask or cloth, however his eyes (when seen) are often fixed distantly on the horizon. He appears to get poor sleep. His face, arms and torso are all covered with a myriad of scars, crisscrossing over his muscular form in a seemingly random pattern. The left side of his face has the most apparent scar, running vertically and deeply. It seems to have deeper meaning for the Hyur, and he is often seen running a finger across it while in thought.

He often enjoys his skin to be exposed to the elements, and is sometimes seen stripped to the waist meditating and training in the snows of Coerthas.

He prefers not to wear armor, aside from thick gauntlets. He's skilled in the art of shirahadori (blade catching) and uses this in tandem with one of many blades he's collected over his travels in combat. He has some training in the art of Hingan archery, however he uses it primarily for hunting and survival rather than combat.

As of recent, he's taken up the way of a wandering priest, and his muscular form is often seen draped in robes rather than in the armor of his youth.

Personality

• Alignment

  Lawful Neutral

• Motivation

  Duty, above all.

• Disposition

  Reserved but friendly.

• Outlook

  A gnawing sense of unease.

• Personality

  Hachi is very loyal, to the point of rubbing shoulders with others for the sake of his self-imposed duty. He is polite and courteous, unless someone oversteps his moral code, in which case he reciprocates very sharply, but fairly (in his terms). He can be quite aloof, and sometimes can be read as cold by others that do not know him well. He has issues seeing eye to eye with many Eorzeans due to the difference in upbringing, and thus likes to observe more than interact, so that he may learn more about the locals in the land he's found himself in. He enjoys the thrill of The Hunt, and often travels throughout Eorzea to hunt dangerous beasts with his allies to make a living and support his lifestyle without needing to dip into the wealth he left behind (for the moment) in Kugane.

• Miscellaneous quirks

  He's often seen rubbing one of the many scars under his mask absentmindedly, or fidgeting with the edges of it. His mask holds dear sentimental value to him, and it is often close to him. If he needs to go into battle that risks its injury, he often hides his eyes with a cloth instead. He does not like his expression to be easily read by opponents or allies alike. He's clumsy when it comes to shields, and cannot use one, and instead prefers to wear plated armguards to catch and deflect blows.

A small detail that is easily overlooked, is that his tongue seems to have been split in twain. It has no bearing on his speech, however.

Commonly heard ■ "That'n? He isn't one for small talk, but I see him leave for days on end, comin' back with some new scar or another. Now, wont you have a drink?" - Momodi ■ "We tried to stop him, initially, but he kept walking to the north, like a man possessed. " - House Fortemps Guard ■ "Young Master Hachi? I've not seen him in the Hostelry many a moon, why, last time he was here he drank everyone under the table with his Lord! Good customers, indeed." - Kotokaze

Occasionally heard ■ "The Honoka Family? The eldest son would often come to the Umineko Teahouse on winter days, and Hachi would be two steps behind him, keeping an eye out. It's kind of nostalgic hearing those names, really!" - Ume ■ "Hachimitsu never shirked his training or his duties, it's just a shame he left before joining the Sekiseigumi proper. He would have had a blade of the finest tamahagane in no time." - Rishin ■ "That eastern lad? I saw him trudge up the hill towards the Fury's Gaze, and saw naught of him for days. When he finally came down, he nearly ate his weight at our table! Said he had been fasting for training, now why would someone do that?" - Abelie

Rarely heard ■ "All clear to the right, A- Oh, hello there adventurer! A few nights ago I saw a masked figure steal off to the Sultantree in the dark and I've been having the heebie-jeebies ever since... Maybe I should lay off the ale on duty..." - Giginasu ■ "The Whitesnake of Kugane, was it? He always had a shadow, a man that kept his face hidden, dressed in dark armor. He always felt coiled to strike, like a viper. Some people took to calling him the Black Serpent, even." - Information Broker, Kugane
