“ PHYSICAL ”

Hyoubu stands at 172 cm tall and weighs 56 kg. Though his build makes him appear slight and weak he's a lot stronger than he looks, capable of knocking out fully-grown adults with a single blow to the neck. He tends towards the mannerisms of a delinquent Japanese teenager ordinarily, leaning over people, gesturing animatedly and making a habit out of keeping his hands in his pockets, but he can switch just as easily to the demeanor of a king, possessing impeccable table manners and the straight yet elegant posture of one who expects to be served.

A person might easily assume that Hyoubu's 15 from his youthful appearance and only two details point towards the contrary: The first being his unkempt hair, a slivery-white that betrays his actual age and the second being his eyes which are ice-blue, seemingly dulled and yet sharp at the same time. He also has several scars that are hidden almost all the time, the most prominent one being the bullet wound at center of his forehead which is covered well by his bangs, and the other two being similar wounds located at his chest, hidden by his clothes.

“ VERBAL ”

Hyoubu's verbal patterns tend to go hand in hand with his overall physical movements. He's typically soft-spoken and casual, using the 'boku' pronoun for himself, but piss him off enough and he'll start yelling and flailing, sounding a lot more like a teenager than he might come off at first with the tendency to curse and resort to childish insults. He's also notable for laughing to himself, whether it's a roaring "Ahahahahahaha!" to the more dangerous and suspicious-sounding "Heh heh heh".

His verbal mannerisms are completely different when he's being serious though, leaning towards a more sultry, low and condescending tone that serve as warning that he doesn't fool around when he intends to fight. His words are markedly more controlled and well-chosen too, although still given to make a joke if an opportunity is given- that being said there are rare times when his berserk buttons are pushed too much and he'll raise his voice superficially as if he's only angry, but with a clear intent to destroy what's in front of him: An unstoppable rage like that of a wounded monster.

“ PSYCHOLOGICAL ”

Control, control and control. The key to understanding much of Hyoubu's inner workings lies in his untimely demise at the hands of his commander, uninjured yet completely helpless to fight back when he was murdered by the man he loved as a father. He calls himself a ghost of the past frequently for this reason as he believes time to have stopped for him when he died, and everything from altering his DNA to look the same age to wearing a school uniform to mourn for his dead friends imply as much; his child-like attitude is also derived from this as he refuses to grow up, forever bound by the shackles of his past while reaching out to the future. There are those who remark that he seems lonely and sad in spite of his bratty and know-it-all demeanor, and it's true as he's fighting for a future that doesn't even have a place for him and there's no one left from his past save for his sister, who has fallen out of favor with him.

Yet for all of this it's clear to many who meet him that he has two remarkably different sides: That of a cruel, callous and horrible man who none should care for, and that of a frightened and wounded boy whose only dream was to save others. He's called kind by both the protagonists and villians alike as his actions usually involve saving those who can't defend themselves while expecting nothing of them but the chance to live a happy life, one that was denied to him in spite of all the good things he did for the sake of others.

Though he tries to hide this part of him and usually succeeds where more prejudiced adults are concerned, those who have been given another chance thanks to him can never forget the selflessness Hyoubu's shown to them when they needed it, for he understands more than anyone else how it feels like to be alone and in pain, believing yourself to be the problem. As such he's unusually sympathetic for a man of his type, and has proven this by going out of the way to help those who have been horribly treated like himself.
