Character you have created: Shou Hanamura
Alias: Agent 4, or just 4
Speech Color: Steelblue Character Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Identity: Secret
Character Personality: Shou is a very soft spoken man who can seem cold and distant to people he’s just met. In actuality he has a large heart, and truly does empathize with other people, he just has an incredibly hard time showing it. Shou often masks his emotions and how he really feels from people constantly, and while he tells himself it's because he wants to make sure his own feelings don’t influence a vulnerable civilian in a panicked state, it’s more because he feels that is a particular weakness of his. Shou will do what he’s told very dutifully, and isn’t known to act out against his superiors. He prefers finding new ways to follow the mission, rather than breaking Code, and possibly endangering his position.
Uniform/costume: A dark suit jacket with a white under shirt, and green tie. He has a moth shaped silver pin on his left breast pocket, and wears dark pressed pants. This is the uniform all Agents wear.
Origin Info/Details: Shou Hanamura was born to two very distant parents, people who wanted him to grow up to be more of a symbol of their heritage, rather than their son. They treated his sister the same way as well, but she arguably didn’t turn out quite like Shou did. The Hanamura family are renowned in the underworld as some of the best assassins to hire for a quick and easy job. They’re a well kept secret from the general public even, who see them as nothing more than a normal Japanese family. Shou’s family never sought after power in the seedy underbellies of the world, however. His father and mother were obsessed with the status they carried as assassins, rather than the power they held in the Yakuza or Mob.
They lived in Okinawa for a few years, and Shou’s parents were the ones to do the “dirty work” that paid their bills, until Shou and his sister Aiko became old enough in their eyes to start learning the family “Art’s”. From a very young age, Shou was taught various ways to kill people, and how to do it effectively and with perfection. Shou became a natural at it, his sister however did not, and his parents shamed her repeatedly for not measuring up to their expectations. He would defend her, though, no matter how his parents berated the two of them for it.
More years passed, and Shou and his sister had become adults. Their parents disowned Aiko, and sent her away from their family home, refusing to ever speak to her again. They expected Shou to follow the path they had led for him in taking over the family business and becoming the next Hanamura assassin in the family, however he proved faithful to his sister and followed her all the way to America. He continued his Assassin work there in order to make a living, while his sister pursued her passion for mechanical engineering. Soon, however, his parents began to here word of his deeds in America, and were angry with him for continuing the family Art with their name.
To prove a horrible point of just how much they disliked both of their children, the two parents began to send other assassins after them. Of course, they knew these assassins would fail miserably at the hands of Shou, but they sent them anyway in the hopes that maybe one day his sister would be caught in the cross fires of a botched attempt. They wanted to try to hurt them in any way they could, and decided the bond they shared would be enough.
Shou spent days watching over his sister, exhausted from having to deal with poor excuses for assassins. It wasn’t so much that they were particularly skilled, it was the sheer volume of assassins his parents had hired. The siblings soon found themselves at an impossible impasse, where one was needlessly dealing with threats every other day, and the other was trying to get her brother to rest for once.
One day, they received a visitor they weren’t expecting. It was a young woman in a nicely tailored suit, and a neat silver moth shaped pin on her chest. She introduced herself as Leila Motley, a leader of a secret organization known as PARADOX that was bent on helping people in need who found themselves in unsavory situations with people from the underworld. She told them that she employed people of all kinds, from normal every day humans, to superhumans with incredible abilities. And she had heard through the grapevine of numerous dead assassins popping up that two Hanamura’s were in town.
She offered to help them shake the trail of their parents forever, if they agreed to become Paradox Agents, and work for her. Aiko agreed immediately, but Shou was apprehensive. He didn’t completely trust Leila at all, thinking that she could perhaps be a trap that his parents had laid out for them. But Aiko insisted, and thus they both began to work at the underground HQ in Houston.
Aiko worked as an Weaponsmith of sorts, creating more and more unique machines to help advance the powers and abilities of the Supers who worked at the Agency, and Shou worked on the field, helping people with the skills he had gained over the years. He soon rose up in the ranks, and took the title “Agent 4” when he successfully completed his 100th mission with no mistakes made.
He now works to help people in the midst of a disaster that has struck the planet as a whole seemingly out of nowhere and it’ll take a lot more than just himself to get through something like this.
