TAKANASHI HOSHINO
IRON HORUS
Female | 145cm (4'9") | 33kg (73lbs) | Blue Archive
P R O F I L E
APPEARANCE:
Profile
As marked by the luminescent shape projected above her scalp, Hoshino is a Haloed, one of the sapient races of her homeworld. Though a Haloed can bear traits of various other species such as Elves, Beastkin, Demons, etc. depending on their ancestry, Hoshino superficially looks no different than a Human except for her race's distinctive halo.
She's a pink-haired girl with gold-blue heterochromic eyes and pale complexion. Her stature is quite slender and petite, both for Haloed and Human standards, often leading to her being mistaken as younger than she actually is.
When on duty, Hoshino is most often clad in her signature gear laid on top of her uniform-esque clothes, these are: her automatic shotgun the 'Eye of Horus', her pistol 'Yume', her collapsible riot shield 'Iron Horus', and assorted other equipment such as spare ammo, various grenades, and combat stims, all arranged efficiently on her tactical vest.
In casual situations, she usually removes most of her combat gear, leaving only her uniform, though unless the situation deems otherwise, she'll always carry at least a weapon within arm's reach, this most often being her pistol.

PERSONALITY:
Steadfast - Loyal - Penitent
At first glance, Hoshino gives off the image of a happy-go-lucky soldier who doesn't have much qualms going along with whatever shenanigans her allies dragged her into. She'll also readily provide an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on for anyone who needs it.
When the situation calls for it though, Hoshino is capable of immediately shifting gears, though her warm presence remains, she becomes a more no-nonsense figure who's clearly experienced at facing life-and-death situations. She'll stand in front of you without hesitation, literally shielding you from harm, just so you may live even if she perishes.
All in all, Hoshino is that relaxed, yet reliable uncle who'll always have your back. Indeed, she will, she must, never again shall she fail her comrades like she failed... her.

A terrible tragedy once befell Hoshino, which caused her to lose Yume - her best friend, soulmate, and mentor figure all - then left a deep trauma in Hoshino's psyche, one that still festers to this very day. Though the pink-haired girl tries her best to cover it up with her happy-go-lucky persona, it's merely a facade. In private, the mask sometimes cracks and Hoshino may slip into a post-traumatic hysteria; hyperventilating, trembling, wailing, screaming, or any combination of those. These moments are deeply shameful for her and this aversion ironically strengthens her resolve to not let herself relapse, especially in the presence of others.
BIOGRAPHY:
Hoshino was born and raised in Kivotos, a city-state metropolis on her homeworld. Her home universe hosts many sentient races, but one of the most influential and dominant is the 'Haloed', named after the very distinctive trait that every single one of them had, the glowing halo floating above their heads.
A Haloed's... halo acts as a conduit for their superhuman abilities that all of them shared plus the more esoteric esper-esque powers that could manifest in some Haloed. At the baseline using a common Human as a benchmark, all Haloed are durable enough to withstand sustained assault by small arms fire, requiring heavier ordnance to effectively wound them, and they possess stamina far beyond what Humans can achieve naturally. Furthermore, for the particularly 'gifted' among them, they'll also manifest one or more unique abilities rooted in the supernatural; everything from enhanced senses, flight, precognition, and to something as unorthodox as being able to fight autonomously while deeply asleep.
Hoshino herself is one of the most gifted of her kind. Her unique power can be described as being a 'natural super soldier'. She's prodigiously talented at martial and weapons training, mastering skills after skills related to physical prowess and combat, furthermore, she's particularly durable and enduring even for a Haloed, she can continue functioning even after 'lesser' Haloed either succumb to their wounds or fall over from exhaustion.
These talents combined with her steadfast personality makes her a natural fit as an elite fighter, an invaluable role in her home world, where despite its shiny exterior, is rife with conflict and constantly accosted by various threats from superhuman criminals, giant monsters, and last but definitely not least, corrupt authority figures.
As she used to be an incredibly strict and harsh no-nonsense person, Hoshino didn't have many friends... up until she met her, Kuchinashi Yume, an upperclassmen at her school, Abydos.
Though the two couldn't be anymore different; the no-nonsense drill sergeant versus the happy-go-lucky airhead, they formed an inseparable bond regardless, motivated by their shared goal of protecting their friends and families from the many adversaries of their world. They struggled, triumphed, laughed, and cried together, and for the first time in her life, Hoshino felt like she had found her soulmate, maybe, fate willing, they'd be able to spend the rest of their lives together...
...and then Yume died. Slain in one of their missions.
Just like that, Hoshino's dreams shattered into a million pieces.
Until now, she never really realized how fleeting life was. One moment and they were gone.
For some reason, everything seemed just a little bit grayer now.
Though for better or worse, due to the determinator in her, Hoshino marched on, and in an subconscious attempt to remain sane, she dropped much of her harsh discipline and instead emulated Yume's relaxed demeanor.
Over the next few years, she met new people, new friends, and there was also this superintendent fellow - affectionally called 'Sensei' - assigned by Kivotos' bigwigs to clean up the city-state's mess, he's neat, if not a little bit silly, but imagine taking life too seriously, haha, who'd ever do that?
Together with these new comrades and Sensei, they too acted as Kivotos' defenders against those who wished them and their loved ones harm. Hey, this wasn't so bad, she could even say she had moved on.
But then, one day, Hoshino received intel that Yume might still be alive.
Was it a trap to lure her out by their enemies? Probably, highly likely in fact.
Would she risk it? Her better judgment said she shouldn't, but the fact remained she was already geared up and departed in the dead of night, alone.
Her new friends tried to stop her, but she gunned them down into submission. Sensei tried to talk her out of it, yet she dismissed him with a few poorly-placed jokes and empty platitudes.
They even called one of Kivotos' mightiest Haloed, one of the few that could match - or even surpass - Hoshino herself, the infamous Sorasaki Hina the Devil of Gehenna.
They exchanged a few words, including an inquiry if she'd change her mind, rhetorical, but Hoshino could understand, Hina was just respecting Sensei's wishes for no more bloodshed, but Hoshino and Hina, they were both soldiers at heart, the two already knew...
That the only way this would end one way or another was through force.
So they fought, and fought again, then fought some more, each not relenting even an inch to the other, both wholly believing they were fighting for what was right.
Their conflict eventually took them all the way on top of a moving train
And right there, the Iron Horus finally met her match; bested by the She-Devil, Hoshino's unconscious body fell off the train and into the abyss below...
Then at the same time, an all-consuming light came from the sky above, devouring everything.
By the time she woke up, the pink-haired girl found herself at a strange place, in a strange new world...

The current Hoshino - gleamed under Galeem's influence - can be found hanging around in Mafia Town, none the wiser of what transpired in her past before the Lord of Light's meddling with the multiverse.
Oblivious as she currently is, her loyal and protective nature remains, leading her to act as a defender of those who can't defend themselves, protecting the citizens of the port town from any who wished to harm them, whether they were pirates, monsters, murlocs, etc. In a way, she's indeed still in her element.

❖ 500 Pons
LEVEL:
1 (Current EXP: 0 / 10)
ABILITIES:
❖ Eye of Horus & Yume: Hoshino's signature pair of firearms, an auto-shotgun and a pistol respectively. Though they look similar to the guns hailing from Sol's Earth, these are designed with Kivotos tech to face the threats native to that universe, which include giant mechanical monsters and superpowered criminals among other things. The pistol is named after her dearly departed soulmate.
❖ Iron Horus: Hoshino's signature riot shield. Collapsible and lightweight despite its extraordinary toughness, it's as much a bludgeoning weapon as it is a protective piece of gear. Like her guns, they're made to properly face against Kivotosian hostiles. It's named after the moniker that Yume gave her.
❖ All-Out Assault: Hoshino brings down the Iron Horus' fury by unleashing a nigh-endless barrage of gunfire. She accomplishes this by rapidly yet precisely unloading all of her shotgun shells onto one or several targets, then once it's emptied, she'll continue firing using her pistol one-handed while simultaneously reloading her shotgun with her free hand, finally she performs a quick reload of that pistol before the cycle begins anew.
She can either be moving or taking cover behind her shield while doing this. The technique requires her to fully concentrate on the task and thus best used when she doesn't have to pay attention to anything else, such as protecting an ally, communicating, etc.

SKILLS:
❖ Hoshino the Iron Horus: Hoshino is gifted even amongst her kin. She has a prodigious talent when it comes to learning and mastering physical combat arts. Her strength, durability, and endurance outclass most Haloed, and they can already be considered superhumans when compared to a common human.
❖ Unwavering Loyalty: Hoshino has such a strong guardian instinct that she's exceedingly resistant to mind control attempts, particularly that'll force her to attack her own allies. If struck by one such attempt, at most she'll be completely paralyzed as her mind would just shut down instead of succumbing to the manipulation.

WEAKNESSES:
❖ "Mundane" Skillset: Despite all of her skills and talents, Hoshino is essentially just a supercharged human. Everything she can do are things a human can do, except she does them at a scale that no normal human can even hope to reach, but still, this means she can't fly, perform telekinesis, shoot lasers out of her eyes, or launch a fireball, unless one counts a frag grenade as the equivalent of one.
❖ Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Hoshino suffers from a severe case of one. The cracks left by Yume's passing never truly went away and her overall mental stability suffers as a result. She's notably vulnerable to any techniques that utilize despair, hopelessness, and/or apathy.
❖ Hydrophobic: Inexplicably, Hoshino is hopeless when it comes to swimming, she's apparently gifted in almost every physical activities... except swimming. No matter how much she trains for it, she just can't manage anything more than clumsy flailing. Tis' the reason she'll always brings a floaty whenever her friends invite her to the beach. Don't laugh.

TRIVIA:
❖ Color Code: ff91a4
❖ Has a fondness for aquatic mammals, particularly dolphins and whales. A bit ironic considering her inability to swim, perhaps she envies them. Has a whale-shaped pillow that she'll use over any other pillows whenever it's available.
❖ Not actually Japanese despite having a Japanese-esque name. It's merely a coincidence of the multiverse.
❖ Doesn't mind being belittled or underestimated due to her youthful appearance, used to be the complete opposite, but after Yume's death, she no longer gives a damn.
