Hiroshi Kikami Nineteen Neutral Hiro Twilight Vaccine, Data, Mixed FACE CLAIM: Natsume Takashi ANIMANGA: Natsume Yuujinchou GENDER: Male HEIGHT: 5 feet, 7 inches. WEIGHT: 142 pounds. APPEARANCE Hiro’s appearance is rather common, the soft brownish blonde hair and brown eyes are rather normal, but considering his Japanese parents, it was always questioned why the boy wasn’t born with darker features. His face and the shape of his eyes are like the typical Japanese. His soft facial features also make others question his gender, but his body-build is more masculine than feminine, even if he can be considered rather androgynous. For clothes, he prefers anything that won't hinder his movements. He feels most comfortable when he can cover every patch of skin on his body, so it isn’t rare that he would wear thin, long-sleeved shirts during summer but there are rare times he would rather not fry himself in the strong sun and wears only a T-shirt. Though it is usually hidden, he has scars on his lower arms and hands from chains and knives, and a few on his upper torso as well. Hiro is calm, composed, and cheerful. It's rather hard to anger him - actually nearly impossible - and he rarely considers anyone as his enemy or feels dislike toward others. Most of the time he has a curious and innocent face observing the situations and he counters every aggression with a calm voice. Same goes for bullying, he is actually okay with being bullied and never holds a grudge against anyone. He usually thinks people might have a good reason for singling him out or acting the way they do, and usually thinks he might be the problem, not the other party. As emotionally dumb as he is, telling him jokes will make him laugh though he won't get half of their meaning most of the time. He is just cheerful and totally low on emotional feedback, though he is far from being naive in life (but acting like that is something he finds pretty amusing). In certain situations his calmness may appear to be cold. He may even seem heartless when he addresses a problem calmly, but he got used to repressing his emotions and holding back as much as possible, so that is natural for him. His occasional snaky comments are hardly noticeable, because his words are masked by a kind smile and voice, but that is exactly why it is so unnerving. He is rather awkward in social situations, but he is more shy than anything else. The main reason is that he is suffering from a serious case of haphephobia, meaning he is afraid of any form of physical contact. He either freezes up or lashes out when someone touches him or even if just bumps into him, and that hinders him in his everyday life. He also developed a slight claustrophobia, and he is sure he would find some more phobias within himself if he stopped to think about it. He bends to other’s wishes easily, thinking that his own preferences are miniscule compared to others – he always considers what is best to others, and never what is good for him. He likes to meddle with people's business, and likes to know about others a lot. It doesn't seem to be fair since he won't open up easily but still wishes for others to be open to him. With such a low self-esteem and sense of self, he literally considers himself nonexistent. He is always afraid to do the wrong thing, or something people doesn’t expect from him, something people hate to see. On the other hand, he doesn’t trust himself to do the right thing the way he should, or thinks he doesn’t have the power and ability do it. Even though he wants to do what is right, he is afraid of failing expectations, and instead doesn’t do anything. Even though he wants the worlds to be saved, he can’t do anything, because he thinks his influence is either considered nothing or unneeded, that he doesn’t have the ability to change anything. Even though he wants to help people by doing whatever he can, he knows he isn’t needed by anyone. Those are his main thoughts, and the main reason he keeps being neutral in the ongoing war. The town Hiro was born in is deeply traditional, one that favors the old habits and rules strongly over the freedom of the modern cities. Shiroko, Hiro’s mother was always a romantic woman and though she did care for the customs of her homeland, she thought breaking those habits was even more exciting and filling for a person like her. She fell crazily in love with a businessman from Tokyo, who was on a business trip to a nearby city, and that meeting was what made her life go down from the heights. She got pregnant from the man who disappeared not much after, so Shiroko was alone with her soon to be born baby and problems. While pregnant she received a kind of 'prophecy' from an elderly man who told her that the baby will be born with power (though it was not clear what he meant). Fired with anticipation and thinking that her lover will return to her if he hears about the baby being unique, she slowly started losing her mind during the pregnancy. As opposed with her anticipation, the boy didn't show any sign of having any power in his childhood (of course) and that made the mother desperate and angry. She even used inhuman methods to get the boy into using his nonexistent 'powers'. The boy is still bearing the signs of her 'method' on his wrists and body in the forms of scars caused by chains and knives. This was probably also what caused his haphephobia and claustrophobia, though his memories about his mother are all hazy. He was about nine years old when his real father showed up to bring the boy with him to Tokyo where he was working for a big company, but leaving his mother, saying that he has a respectable life, and a family he loved back home. In a crazed fit, Hiro’s mother committed suicide before they traveled away. The rest of his life in his new home was relatively peaceful. Hiro had a surprisingly good relationship with his half-brother and father though his step-mother was obviously wary of the boy. That doesn't mean they were fighting, Hiro usually avoided her, like most people among the family, and she did the same, so it's actually hard to say that they had any relationship at all. Hiro didn't dislike her, but even at a young age he perfectly understood her thoughts about a child of another woman, so he decided not to cause trouble. The woman was also quite troubled by Hiro’s personality and the fact that he didn't let anyone touch him (due to being uncomfortable with direct physical contact). His father, as well as his uncle, the younger brother of his father, was a professor who worked at a mental institute that was researching the deeper parts of the mind to reduce the chance of the occurrence of split personalities and generally mental illnesses. Of course they knew it wouldn’t be easy since the mind was a hard concept to figure out on its own. The father believed that the soul and the individual’s past connected much more deeply than they first though. He had a theory that every person had a mirror in their soul that showed a reflection of what the person didn’t want to see, so it was often ignored or suppressed. His research was about making the individuals confront their mirrored self and watch the results. He searched for young volunteers, as he believed it was easier to bring out on an unstable and impressionable state such as the teen age. He involved his family too, and that’s how Hiro was included in simple and seemingly innocent experiments where he had to do a variety of activities under influence. It was always an innocent research, and his father intended for it to stay that way. The invasion began about a year after Hiro was included in his father’s research. He couldn’t even believe what he was seeing, but the reports and messages were horrible enough that he started to fear for the lives of those he knew. The researches changed after that. The leaders of the laboratory decided to include digimon in their work as well and instead experimented on how the digimon partners affected the mind of their human. For those who didn’t have a partner, they were experimenting on making them appear. Hiro was among one of the later, so they made him and various other subjects do different tests to see whether the digimon would show up or not. Unseen events, sudden changes in environment, unusual and forced behavior as well as sudden stress and extreme situations were the most common states where the partners appeared. As for Hiro, nothing ever happened. It seemed that he wasn’t compatible with digimon in general, and the test results were getting worse and worse. It wasn’t helping that the continuous failures made his self-esteem hit rock bottom, and even though he kept his calm and cheerful attitude, he accepted the fact he won’t amount to anything ever. It was his uncle that came up with a special test and led the boy to the walls, deciding that direct danger was the best to get him his digimon. In reality, his uncle was one of the people who wished for the worlds to merge and humankind to be destroyed – or at least cut down in numbers. His uncle could see Hiro’s potential even though the boy didn’t, and since he knew the boy was righteous and on the side of humankind, not to mention an easy target, he figured tossing him to the rabid wild digimon was an effective start toward destruction. He didn’t think the “test” would actually be successful. To the boy’s greatest surprise, Hiro’s digimon appeared and rescued him from the danger as fast as he could. Hiro’s uncle was furious, and though he wasn’t injured, he had to run away as his secret got found out. After that, the personnel working at the institute were all interrogated, and the research was shut down. About twenty percent of the workers were on the nefarious side, and were sent in jail by the wall guard. Hiro’s father was sent to another division and worked on simpler subjects, but the realization and loss of his younger brother as well as his research being stopped took it’s toll on him. Without the research, Hiro realized he had nothing to do and nothing to achieve anymore. Even though he had a digimon now, he wasn’t sure what he could do to make things better. Or if he had the power to do anything at all. First, he had to find himself and a purpose for his life to be able to do anything, but he has yet to figure that out.
