*Name: Hayama Morito *Universe: Gun X Clover *Appearance: [url=http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130917194704/gun-x-clover/images/7/7e/Morita_innocent.jpg] Just a harmless kid, right? [/url] *Personality: Morito often seems like a perfectly innocent child, perhaps even weak or naive and certainly harmless even if he claims to be a rookie mercenary. The truth is that he's much, much older than he looks, and this cutesy and inexperienced attitude is a front he deliberately plays into in order to better disguise himself. His true nature is that of a legendary soldier-of-fortune with decades of experience and a reputation as a sometimes extremely harsh but also extremely competent instructor. Despite behaving jaded and world-weary he cares deeply for anyone he considers a comrade and for people in general, especially children, and threatening others is one of the easiest ways to get to him. Though he won't always admit it he believes that everyone should have a chance to live a happy and carefree life but that those who trample on others dreams or spread war for fun or profit should be harshly punished. When angered sufficiently he enters a "Demonic Drill-Sergeant" persona that mixes the savagery of a berserker with a cold, calculating, even sadistic edge, becoming entirely focused on brutally punishing his targets. *Powers/Skills: While in most ways an ordinary human being Morito is also a mercenary with decades of experience in combat and enough skill as a soldier of fortune to be one of thirteen people in his world to attain the status of "Master", a person entrusted with officially ranking the skill level of other mercenaries. He is skilled with a vast multitude of armed and unarmed martial arts as well as being beyond expert with firearms and weapons of nearly every kind, although he prefers close-in combat unarmed or with knives. In addition he also possesses expertise in ventriloquism and mimicry. While he is still an ordinary human in many respects, his strength is far beyond normal for someone of his apparent age. He's able knock full-grown men out in a single punch or take on multiple adults in hand-to-hand combat with ease as well as firing heavy caliber weapons without difficulty despite his small size. His speed and training allows him to dodge bullets even if taken by surprise and his endurance when in full-on "Demonic Drill-Sergeant" mode is such that he can survive being shot eighteen times in a row or an indirect hit from an anti-tank rifle and continue fighting. When severely injured or angered his "Demonic Drill-Sergeant" persona surfaces and along with a change in personality Morito becomes much faster, stronger and more durable, able to move faster than even someone with his same level of skill is able to react, survive seemingly lethal wounds to continue fighting and dislocate the limbs of three experienced soldiers in an instant. *Brief Bio: much of Hayama Morito's life is surrounded in mystery, but what is clear is that he was an abandoned child soldier taken in and trained by the legendary mercenary Sayuri Higuchi and fought in numerous conflicts across the globe until eventually achieving his status as Master, making a name for himself as in bodyguard and hostage rescue operations. He was sent to investigate rumors that his mentor was brain-washing children to act as terrorists and suicide bombers. When he found that the rumors were true he flew into a rage and supposedly both he and Sayuri died in the duel that resulted when he tried to arrest her for her crimes. The truth is that he actually survived that engagement and shortly afterwards went into hiding as a hopeless rookie student at Mikado High School, a school for future mercenaries and unusual children. There he was made the special bodyguard of Nanase Kotonoha, a girl with the ability to act as a respository for dead languages and the various magics and powers they control, called 'Language Grave'. Morito has since been protecting Kotonoha from attacks from various people who want to control the powers contained in 'Language Grave'. *Equipment: Currently none *Others:
