[b]Username:[/b] Grey [b]Name:[/b] Minase Hideaki / Yi Hyun-ki [b]Age:[/b] 15 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Country of Origin:[/b] Japan (Zainichi Korean) [b]Role:[/b] Vongola Guardian Candidate [b]Flame:[/b] Cloud, Lightning [b]Weapon/Fighting Style:[/b][list][*]Bow and Arrows - As the captain of Nami Middle's Archery Club and one who lives by the traditional Japanese philosophy of archery, Hideaki's skill in bow-based marksmanship is supernal. Furthermore, Hideaki possesses exceptionally keen eyesight that assists in sniping targets moving at fast speeds and at super long-range. Among mafiosi, the perception of his eyes is one of, if not the, best. [*]Razor Wire - A spool of monofilament metal wire and a pair of gloves with wire running through them. It's a very versatile weapon, equally capable of laceration and strangulation, among other things, but requires a high degree of skill to properly utilize. The wires capitalize on Hideaki's superior dexterity and agility moreso than his mediocre physical strength or endurance, and, in the future, his proficiency with these wires is equal to or surpassing his marksmanship.

Though he seems to be the kind of naturally-popular, outgoing sort of person in his daily interactions with others, he's actually a rather detached person. He's not a loner by any extent, but he can't consider anyone his friend on principle. There's an old saying that 'the perfect archer has learned to suppressed the self', and Hideaki has done this to a T. In the face of discrimination against his people, Hideaki's learned to act the part of a wholesome Japanese young man and hide any perceived imperfections in his personality in public, but even sometimes he doesn't know where 'Minase Hideaki' ends and 'Yi Hyun-ki' begins. He's a very proficient actor nonetheless. In terms of his "true" personality, Hideaki is very much one to toss aside the fetters of traditional morality and follow his own path, not those that offend his sensibilities. Fortunately events in his daily life are not [i]too[/i] contrary to his beliefs, even though he hates having to put on his happy face for the sake of his mother and his family's social standing and is actually kind of a two-faced asshole when it comes to his real opinions. His beliefs can be rather unorthodox at times, but it all lends to a decent capacity as a 'left-hand man' of sorts [b]History:[/b] Hideaki, born under the name of Yi Hyun-ki, seems to come from a rather innocuous family. His mother, a hardworking Japanese woman in her mid 30s, runs a book cafe in downtown Namimori while his Korean father works overseas and only really returns home once in a blue moon. However, his family is far more unusual than it would seem at first glance. Though unbeknownst to even Hideaki himself, his father is a notorious agent under the codename 'Tarantula' who works for an international police organization opposing the mafia whilst his mother, though now genuinely a functioning member of normal society, was born into a criminal organization and used to leverage her appearance and occupation as an investigative journalist to act as their informant. Incidentally, they both met without knowing a thing about each others' allegiances. When they learned that Hideaki was on the way, they changed their identities and relocated to Namimori, mostly as the Vongola Famiglia was not one to tolerate civilian attacks or enemy factions making trouble in their territory. As a result, Hideaki led the normal life his parents wanted for him, even if his father was hardly present for any of it, free from the influence of any criminal enterprises. However, he wasn't free from the second class status that came with his particular half-blooded ethnicity. His mother, ashamed of his status, unintentionally instilled Hideaki's warped, two-faced values with her cynical, heavy-handed, and sometimes traumatic teachings on the ways of the world.
