A professional doctor that fell sick with a disease even he could not cure, he sought a panacea from the forsaken city of Yharnam. It was in this nightmarish place that he was transformed from a man into a hunter, where he saw things that deadened his senses and opened his mind to eldritch truth, and where he did things that stained him forever in blood.

He doesn't really understand why he refused the First Hunter's offer to free him from the nightmare. Fear, perhaps? Mistrust? Shame for the blood on his hands? Or was it some deep desire to continue the hunt? Whatever his reasons Gerhardt's refusal brought him into conflict with the First Hunter. They fought on that flower covered hill beneath the tree, and when only Gerhardt was left standing the presence hidden in the moon came down to meet him.

When the presence departed he had taken the First Hunters place within the dream. He does not know for how long he was left in this state or how many other hunters came and went. But then, a sound cut through the fog in his mind. A familiar sound, one he hadn't heard in ages. The beckoning sound of a bell, tolling across worlds.

With nary a moments thought the hunter stood up from his chair and followed it.

Name: Masayoshi Hazama/Samurai Flamenco/Beyond Flamenco

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Appearance:


Canon, AU, or OC?: AU

Universe of Origin: Samurai Flamenco

Personality: An avid tokusatsu fan, Masayoshi had adopted many of the ideals shown in such series; Having a kind heart and a strong sense of justice as a result. He is quite theatrical in his ways, mimicking the grandiose actions and words of his heroes. His passion is all his own though, and he is quite willing to show that despite whatever odds are against him. However, he is extremely naive to the point of being clueless when it comes to situations outside of his own moral compass, and his world view is as black and white as one could be (such as treating littering as a great evil on par to world domination).

As a result of not meeting a certain important policeman as the canon Masayoshi had, this Flamenco has not gained a sense of purpose or direction and is instead only relying on those who are around him for guidance.

Abilities/Weapons: Red Axe Training: Masayoshi was trained extensively by famed judo master and Toku star Kaname Joji in hand to hand combat, particularly in regards to defensive styles of fighting.

Samurai Supplies:

Masayoshi has a multitude of office supplies that also serve as weapons and gadgets for Samurai Flamenco. All of Masayoshi's weapons are based off of office supplies and usually don't harm people directly. They are made by Jun Harazuka, a scientist who is an acquaintance of Masayoshi's. These weapons are kept in various pockets on Samurai Flamenco's suit.

Backstory: A young model obsessed with superheroes and their ways, Masayoshi Hazama decided to take up crime-fighting in real life as Samurai Flamenco. Of course this came with it's difficulties (and more than a fair share of beat downs for Masayoshi), but eventually with the help of friends and allies he started to make a good difference for the people of Tokyo. This came to a rather strange point when an evil organization lead by a man named King Torture also showed up into the public eye, seemingly subverting reality itself and turning Masayoshi's fight from just stopping purse-snatchers and jay-walkers into a real superheroic conflict. During their final battle, King Torture was beaten, but not before pulling out one last trump card; sucking Samurai Flamenco out of his universe and into the multiverse proper.

Confused and bewildered, Flamenco accidentally wandered into a skirmish between UMMA and Shadow Eternity agents. Seeing UMMA as the villains in this conflict, he was quick to assist Shadow Eternity in the fight. Likening them to underdogs being harassed by the more powerful and brutal organization. This did not make him any friends with the true heroes but it did earn him a spot within SE's organization, one he took gratefully, seeing it as the next path for any hero. To confront and embrace their darker inclinations and make actual changes for everyone.

Faction: Shadow Eternity
