He led armies to war and succeeded with his highly conducted military prowess and knowledge in the art of war. He followed his father to become a samurai who put's their lives on the line for the people of Japan.

Alright. Good morning, my name is agent cameron adams with the united nations. my specialty is in military psychology, so i'm here to determine if you'll be a good fit for our project. Now, Can you tell me about yourself?

"Well, Agent Adams. I am a well respected Shinto Deity of War and Archery. I have been given many titles and many honors but being a well respected samurai and leader, the art of war and archery are the aspects that the samurai and the common folk respect me as." Hachiman sits elegantly, looking him straight in the eye. Despite having a youthful face, his mind is very broad and knowledgeable of the advancement of society.

i understand that you have some special... abilities. Can you describe what those are for me?

" Just like the greek god Ares, I am the Shinto Deity of War, who also specializes in archery. While some of my abilities are catalysts of chaos, I use them to my advantage to win wars and battles." Hachiman answers simply with a tone full of knowledge and eloquence.

do you have any weaknesses that i should know about?

"A few weakness that I have are connected to my emotions. I have an ability to manipulate anger, but sometimes at very inappropriate times I have a hard time of controlling it.While I can be empowered by fear, I can also be overwhelmed by it. For primal rage, I can lose memory of activity in a primal state of rage." Hachiman replied, while playing with a dagger in his hand. "It can be deadly towards my friends as well."

What would you consider your "origin story"?

"I was born into a royal family, who followed my father to become a well-respected Samurai. Education was accessible to me, since I was the son of the emporer while I had the ability to learn the ways of the samurai in order to protect the people of Japan. I can manipulate war at will and use it in favor to the freedom and prosperity of my country."

Can you tell me about your family, friends, and work or school relationships? anyone important or close to you in your life, really. There's a confidentiality agreement at stake, here.

"My family and my friends are long gone, sadly." Hachiman solemnly replies, with his eyes clouded with sadness.

is there anything or anyone in your life, past or present, that may compromise you or project hero in any way?

"The loss of comrades and my family still haunt me to this day, which prevents me from making any connections with anyone in the modern time because I worry that I might lose them."

let's change the subject. what can you do for project hero?

"I know the ways of war and battle. I know how the opposition thinks, which can give us an advantage on missions or assignments to protect civilians."

how do you work best? do you prefer working in a team or alone?

"I've lead soldiers to war, gaining their trust and respect for many generations. I have no qualms with working with others, as I honor and treasure the art of teamwork and comradary. So, I prefer working with others."

you're one of very few to get to this stage of screening to be a hero. Why didn't you reject our invitation?  why are you here?

"Usually, heroes inhabit good traits or ability, but I think this organization can use a bit of chaos to take out the opposition. I am a god of war, who has years of experience in the battlefield, so I am sure you would need someone like me to help direct the team efficiently and safely."

shall we roleplay a few scenarios? let's say a terrorist has another member of the project hostage with a bomb in their cell with them. there's also a nuclear missle pointed at new york. you know how both of these can be disarmed, but you have twenty minutes before the bomb detonates and the nuclear missle is launched. what do you do?

"With my ability of tactical analysis, I am a very efficient planner. If it was only up to me to rescue my comrade, I can use any weapon around me to clear the path for me. When I reach the cell, I can induce fear in the guards, manipulating them to open the cell and disable the bomb efficiently. I will not hesitate and go to the nuclear missle and disarm it."

the project has reason to believe that one of four individuals is the leader of a major crime ring. There isn't enough evidence to identify which one, but you and another hero have a hunch that points to one of them. we're informed that the crime ring plans to violently murder a large number of innocent people in 48 hours. what do you do?

"I will create battlefields, which can trigger any emotion that may give me a hint or something along of the lines of involvement with the plan to murder a large amount of people. I can harshly manipulate emotions to get the answers that I need, while the other members of the team divide and conquer."

you're sent on a solo mission to a remote location to gather information about new military weapons a terror group is designing. while on the mission, your cover is blown before you go in, but you know where and how to get the weapon designs. what do you do?

"Discord manipulation. I can use that to my advantage and make them turn on eachother. I will take their attention off of me, while I get the designs. If it lasts for a short moment, then I will engage in battle and swiftly exit the remote location."

another hero tells you that they've fallen in love with you. you return their feelings. what do you do?

"I would make it my vow to protect and defend them. It doesn't matter if it is physically, mentally or emotionally, she is the one who holds my art and I will do what I can to keep her safe."

anything i missed? I hope you like Hachiman ^^

scene requeSts

— Hachiman teaches his love interest how to use a sword. He stands behind and teaches her the proper stance and ways to handle the sword. It is a very kind of fluffy moment, where his hands brush against hers and he holds her close.
— He is very traditional when it comes to battle, so he writes down the plan of action on a scroll.

— Hachiman using his arrows and quiver to save one of his comrades.

— "I am a god of war. Chaos is my specialty." It is something that he says with a smirk

— If Hachiman was ever caught in a moment, where he got heated with his significant other. They would be sparring and he pinned her under him and he stares down at her with a heated gaze. He handled assassins for many years so assassins in this era are like child's play to him.
