Harima (100 XP Ex-Delinquent Kensai Bishonen)

Obligatory Introductory Fiction

Some insults were just TOO MUCH to be dealt with. Anyone who cast such aspersions upon his beloved Tenma COULD NOT BE TOLERATED!

Harima leaped to his feet. This called for his most powerful attack! "You trash-talking bastard, TASTE THIS!"

He was about to shout Hurricane Dragon and send the offending noodle cook to meet the Goddesses in Neo-Yu-Shan when he happened to glance over and remembered Tenma was sitting there eating happily. How could she be so forgiving as to set aside such a slight?

If she could forgive such a horrible aspersion, surely he could find the strength within himself to calm the fires of his righteous rage.

Yes, that is what his goddess would most desire, for was she not a peaceful merchant and bringer of peace to this violent world? If she forgave such a terrible insult, then was it not his duty to forgive as well?

And yet, having thrust himself forward, how could he take back what he said?

Instinctively, he thrust his half-empty bowl towards the noodle cook, who took a bite curiously. "It tastes normal to me."

"I...uh...it needs salt," Harima said meekly.

The cook added some salt, while Tenma continued to wolf down her food with her sister trying to get her to eat slowly.

Harima tasted it. "Fine, thank you," he mumbled and sat down.

"What's he so worked up about?" Hanai whispered to Mikoto.

"The guy pointed out to Tenma she had food on her face."

"..."

Blissfully unaware, Harima dined in the light of his goddess's smile. Surely this is what the Broodingly Handsome Sun had meant when he told Harima, "Walk the path of righteousness if you would win the love destined for you." It had to be her? Who else could it be?

"Baka," Eri mumbled.

Yakumo looked over at Harima, smiled a little, then went back to trying to chivvy her sister into not eating too much or too fast, without much luck.

Appearance

Dark haired, Harima is constantly adjusting his hair style, but usually has a small moustache and a goatee and wears his hair short or else spikey and always wears sunglasses, dark pants, and his Orichalcum Reinforced Buff Jacket which has his name sewn badly on a patch on the back.

Fetishes

His Moe 2 Fetish is his Kensai status. His Moe 3 Fetish is his sunglasses.

Personality:

Harima rushes in where the You'll See fear to tread. He is a hot head, easily roused to violence. But he's trying to overcome that for love of the fair Tenma, who he would do anything for. He is prone to fantasizing and sometimes loses track of reality. He loves to draw, though his manga are all thinly disguised self-insert love stories between himself and Tenma at some level. Harima dreams of a peaceful, quiet life with Tenma. When he's not suddenly erupting with anger at authority figures or solving problems with his fists.

History:

Harima lost both his parents at an early age. Unknown to him, his mother was a Catgirl and his father a Heroic Mortal. He got a touch of his mother's sensitivity with animals and much of his father's fighting skills. He grew up in a small town in the Corgo League, where he first learned to draw at an early age. After his father opened the wrong door on an adventure and was eaten by a gigantic leech, his mother fled back to the Wilderness in despair. He was sent to stay with his cousin Itoko, who is, unknown to him, a Helping Goddess assigned to deal with problems in Minas LankWaterHawk. She didn't run herd on him very well and he became a delinquent, running with the gangs.

He exalted during his first meeting with Tenma, saving her from a street gang during one of her trips to the city with her parents, then set out to find her again after she went back to her folks, as he had fallen in love with her. He now tags along on her adventures, doing his best to help her.

She, however, has gotten the idea into her head that he is dating her sister, Yakumo, which has not exactly helped his pursuit of her. Whether he will have any luck is yet to be seen...

Storyteller's Notes:

Harima has a mad love for Tenma, for whom he will do anything. If she says he's dating her sister, then he'll date her sister in order to become a better lover for her in the future (or so he justifies it to himself). He can swallow ANY logic if it seems to point towards making Tenma happy. He is blissfully unaware that Eri, who he calls Oujo (Princess) has a thing for him (probably because she can't bring herself to admit it, either...) He will usually be encountered with Tenma's band of lunatics.
