Hataro used to be most likely not the type of person you'd want to have a pleasant conversation with. This was because he could be hard to deal with, and it was very likely that he wouldn't give positive feedback if he didn't really like you. But from afar, without getting to know him better, most would immediately stereotype him as a "cool" guy.[break][break]

Hataro used to be very short-tempered and would often overreact to some things people said that offended him. Being somewhat sadistic, he enjoyed beating up his opponents brutally in a pokemon battle, and in a normal battle, and truly enjoyed making his opponents suffer. He actually, however, had a respect for artistic things, such as well written calligraphy, and fancy traditional Japanese themed art. He did get very defensive though when someone insulted his calligraphy, and would usually try to talk it out with a battle. He was proud of his power, to the point that he was simply unwilling to accept defeat. His pride, however, would sometimes cause him to abandon strategy, in favor of tactics that let him show off his power, and overwhelm his opponents, cherishing their looks of awe and fear. But when a person truly stronger than him came along, he despised them.[break][break]

Now Hataro has still kept a few traits of his old self, being still stoic, having a very sharp tongue, detail oriented, loving art, having good reflexes, and thinking quickly. He still acts cold, arrogant, in compassionate, pessimistic, sadistic, and brutal. Hataro now is much more mature, patient, calm, and cool. He is able to calmly analyze situations and make good decisions quickly, and has sharpened his skills as a leader. His loyalty is also proven, as he had followed Lorelei into Besser. He is now extremely serious and mature, even for his age, the battle against Team Imum, Besser and Minder having shaped him very much. He is much more careful than he was before, avoiding reckless decisions, and doing his best to keep his own feelings from affecting his leadership, and the mission or task at hand, showing great self-control. Since the defeat of Team Imum and Besser, he has resolved to become stronger so that he might never again lose a battle, and works hard on training himself, and the other members of of his team. He has begun to value a mission's success high over his own personal feelings, and works well with the others on the same mission, and has begun helping the others a lot more often to train and get stronger. He has also gone on to try and understand others better, helping him to get along with others excellently. Even so, he still rarely opens up to others.[break][break]

Nowadays Hataro has become increasingly independent, though still a loyal follower of Lorelei. Some have compared his loyalty to her that leads him to follow her absolutely anywhere she chooses to go like that of a guard dog, but he despises when others comment like such and won't hesitate to make them regret it. Perhaps due to a slight amount of self-consciousness related to that comparison, Hataro began low key trying lately to become more independent, subtly shifting to backing up his choices in life with his own beliefs and convictions, not Lorelei's, while still remaining loyal to her as her greatest ally and probably closest friend along with Felix, the third of their trio. Unchanging is the fact that Hataro is a dangerous person as Lorelei's follower and a former admin of the evil, destroyed Team Imum. Especially after all that's happened in his life up until now, he is long gone and corrupted by everything he has done and been a part of so far, doing Lorelei's bidding and helping her to enact all her catastrophic schemes. He has been well molded into quite a dark-minded person, capable of apathetic and effortless cruelty himself.[break][break][break]

Description

[break]
Hataro is a man whose dark atmosphere stemming from his attitude, expression, and disposition, speaks for most of his presence. He stands at about a not-really-that-tall 5'8" height and bears an athletic, muscular but agile figure, however it is mostly disguised by his loose, breathable outfit that covers his whole upper body and arms. His skin is quite pale, contrasting strongly with his dark brown, near-black hair which frames his face in two thick locks and reaches down to his lower back in a low ponytail tied by a small black strip of fabric. He wears a metal forehead protector on a black silk cloth base, with a foreign symbol etched into the surface of the metal. It is completely unknown what the symbol is from, and he never talks about it, but it seems to resemble the shape of a leaf.[break][break]

Hataro's eyes are a peculiar pale off-white shade, almost literally white, but noticeably clear and very sharp. His usual outfit consists of a white loose-fitting traditional looking shirt with wide sleeves and a v-cut neck, loose white pants, black half-skirts that appear to protect his upper legs, and black sandals made for high athletic activity. Unmistakably, he is also a gijinka, and has a black fluffy tail and a pair of dark gray Mightyena ears which he usually keeps somewhat hidden by his hair or his black half-skirts, though normally as soon as the action starts, he has no need at all to hide them. He also has claw-like nails on his hands, resembling Mightyena's sharp claws, and some have seen his sharp canines when he yells at his foe.[break][break]

To help him fit into the crowd, go somewhat unnoticed, or try to hide his gijinka parts better, Hataro sometimes wears a black hoodie or even a cloak over top of his outfit. On special occasions when the weather is exceptionally hot during an outing involving physical activity, he may wear a pair of gray baggy pants and undo his top so that it hangs from his waist.[break][break]

Abilities

[break]
As a natural-born gijinka, Hataro is not fully human down to his blood. A decent percentage of his genes are that of the pokémon, Mightyena, making him a gijinka and granting him the powers of that pokemon. Hataro is capable of performing powerful attacks with a certain quality and effect that normally only pokemon can achieve, and he shares with Mightyena its special ability, Intimidate, giving him an incredibly terrifying aura to pokemon and even other people. Hataro is also given the natural physical strengths of a Mightyena, the ability to run and leap impressively fast and high, effortlessly exceeding what is expecting of even the greatest human athletes. He possesses keen, animal-esque senses especially awesome in the hearing and scent category, and he is able to memorize and track down others by their scent even after a few days, and hear the approach of some of the stealthiest assassins.[break][break]

History

[break]
Hataro's father was a proud mightyena gijinka, and his story is a rather unusual one to tell. Well, in any case, most Gijinka have a unique story to tell. His story is an odd one. I honestly think that in a way, it's kind of a cute odd story. Once upon a time there was a young female aspiring espeon gijinka trainer by the name of Takara. Well, long story short, she got herself totally lost in the mountains after chasing what she thought was one of the might legendary bird pokemon, Moltres. She was always one to go and get herself into trouble or run off on an adventure, but maybe, this time she had gone too far, which she soon would have agreed with herself.
Well now she was lost in the mountains with no clue as to which way went where, and more importantly, which way was the way to get out of the mountains and back to the city. It seemed like every step and decision she made took her deeper into the mountains. But at this rate, she should have at least made some progress. It was none other than a gang of mismagius, that sought to lead the poor young female trainer astray. Takara soon figured this out, but her team of pokemon were defeated by the sheer number of mismagius. When all seemed lost and to give up seemed the only option left, a Mightyena gijinka man stepped forward to protect Takara and her team. Using its powerful super effective dark type moves, it made quick work of the cowardly mismagius pokemon. Takara befriended the Mightyena man, and he helped her find her way down from the mountains. The final parting was a sorrowful one, for the trainer and pokemon had formed a close bond even stronger than friendship. The Mightyena man had fallen in love with Takara, and soon enough, she loved him the same way. Even after she returned to the city, she frequently went back to the mountains to visit the wild Mightyena gijinka who had saved her life, and cared for her more than any other. So it was rather strange when Takara found out she was pregnant with Hataro.[break][break]

Naturally, when Takara's secret was found out by her friends and society who didn't know she was a gijinka herself, they shunned her for having created such a relationship with a stranger who was a gijinka, and inevitably, Hataro became the target of their hatred. His mother loved him anyway, but he couldn't stand the shunning much longer. At the age of 12, he decided to leave home and train to get stronger, but still continued to receive the same harsh treatment from others. Some gym leaders even denied his challenges, with the reasoning that a pokemon couldn't challenge a gym. Many people treated him as if he were no more than an animal. He was greatly angered by this, and vowed to change the world for the better. When Team Imum declared its goals, Hataro was persuaded by one of the members to become a part of their team and help them in their goal to "change the world for the better", which was exactly what Hataro wanted to do. He became an executive, and was a devoted member of team Imum.[break][break]

At first he had joined with only the intent of using his own strength, but soon he met kaitaro, a squirtle at the time, who admired the mightyena gijinka to no end. Hataro let the squirtle join his team at first out of amusement, but when the squirtle put on a headband just like his own, he was amused enough to decide to train the squirtle. Later, he caught a gligar, and after stealing a razor fang, evolved the gligar into a gliscor. During one of Team Imum's endeavors, he found an old amber, and resurrected an Aerodactyl from it. He caught other pokemon too, a vulpix, which he evolved into ninetails, a shinx, which has since become a luxray, and greatly aids Hataro with his X-ray vision. Hataro also caught a riolu, and the two often trained together, quickly raising "rukataro"'s loyalty and respect for his trainer, and evolving him into a lucario, and completing Hataro's team.[break][break]

Since Lorelei had climbed the ranks to Team Imum's leader, he had begun to feel impressed, and even respect the leader, developing a loyalty to Lorelei. His loyalty and respect for the leader increased his value as an executive, as he was more willing to do excellent on missions. He now had the goal of not wanting to fail or displease his leader, which caused him to change himself and forget a few of his immature habits like overreacting and yelling at others a lot, as stated in his personality section. He fought hard and strong alongside his leader when Team Imum was in a war against Lyeant's citizens and pokemon trainers. He went into hiding with Lorelei, and his respect and loyalty had him joining Besser as well. His loyalty is still strong, especially since Lorelei has risen in ranks to the top again. It was Hataro's goal simply to make sure that Besser accomplishes its goals - Lorelei's goals. Eventually Besser was no more, but Hataro and the third of the trio, Felix, continue to ally with Lorelei, ever ambitious.[break][break]

Without hesitation, they remained at her side even when she joined the Parallax faction, ever ready to make her next dark ambitions a reality. But Hataro, though confident he is able to do whatever his leader needs of him, has an inkling that something might be off, and feels increasingly uneasy about the unclear reasons they are with Parallax. His inner battles consist of remaining loyal to Lorelei without question and trusting in her decisions no matter what due to his respect of her as a great leader, and his personal desire to grow more independent by developing his own convictions and following them as well.[break][break][break]
