Persona: Black Crown

Hibiya Kazushige(WIP)

________________________________________ Name: Hibiya Kazushige Age: 19 (3rd year) Gender: Male Nationality: Japanese Personality: Hibiya Kazushige is a polite and well-mannered young man who strives to present himself as composed and dependable—a habit shaped by his traditional upbringing. However, that image crumbles quickly when plans go awry or when others poke fun at his many shortcomings. When irritated, Hibiya tends to react in exaggerated ways, often becoming the loudest complainer in the room while somehow still acting as the lone voice of reason amid chaos. Despite his constant grumbling, however, he possesses a genuinely caring nature. He worries deeply about those around him and frequently shoulders responsibilities he never asked for, even when it leaves him stressed, exhausted, and ridiculiously overwhelmed. History Born into a traditional household that valued restraint, diligence, and emotional composure, Hibiya stood out from an early age like a sore thumb. He wasn’t a bad kid—just an energetic one. He talked far more than he listened, and he plays around more than he studied. Thus, he frequently found himself on the receiving end of light but firm discipline, like a sharp tug to the ear, and a smack to the back of the legs. His family never hurt him out of cruelty, but expectations were clear, and Hibiya failed to meet them more often than not. Where others were distant, he was expressive. Where others endured in silence, he complained loudly—but honestly. In a household that rarely spoke its feelings aloud, Hibiya’s presence was noisy, and strangely comforting. Even when scolded, he bounced back quickly, grinning as if nothing could truly weigh him down. It was this stubborn sincerity—this refusal to give up once he found something meaningful, that slowly earned him his family’s trust. They might not have understood him, but they believed in his ability to commit when it mattered. That belief crystallized when he discovered archery. Archery was more than just a sport within his extended family, it was a legacy. A tradition passed down through generations, something that tied his immediate family to a wider, more conservative clan they had long felt distant from. Hibiya’s household was more open-minded than most, less rigid in worldview, but that difference had always left them somewhat isolated. Archery became the bridge. Through Hibiya’s dedication and natural talent, his family found themselves reconnecting with relatives who had once kept their distance. Gatherings became warmer. Conversations lasted longer. For once, Hibiya wasn’t the embarrassment, he was the pride of the family. As he grew older, Hibiya matures into a calm individual. Not completely thought—his temper and dramatics never truly disappeared—but, he learned to have patience. Archery has gave him purpose. It gave him a place, and pride. That was why the accident destroyed everything. On his way to attend a major championship, disaster struck. Hibiya survived with a severe injury to his back—one that left him able to live normally, but unable to endure the strain required for competitive archery ever again. Worse still, the accident took his mother’s life. In the aftermath, the clan split in two. Some rallied around Hibiya, recognizing his loss and defending him as both victim and survivor. Others, steeped in conservative values and unspoken resentment, saw him as a disgrace, a reminder of broken tradition, lost potential, and a legacy cut short. No one said it outright, but the implication hung heavy in every silence: If only he didn't pursued this path, if only he hadn't gone to the competition, things might have been different. Hibiya couldn’t bear it. Caught between grief, guilt, and judgment, he withdrew from his family and remained in Tokyo under the excuse of “finding a new direction.” In truth, he had no idea what to do with himself. Archery had not just been a passion—it had been his purpose, his proof of worth, and the reason his family believed in him. Without archery, what remained of him? who is Hibiya Kazushige? What Is Your Desire? "To prove I still have worth...even if I can’t fulfill my role." ::Combat Information:: Codename: ARC Black Regalia: (His shirt was suposed to be white, not grey...woopsie) Authority: Proper Regard - When activated, Hibiya is instinctively recognized by others as someone who belongs. By presenting himself as fulfilling a social or functional role, whether as family, support, responsibility-holder, etc, others accept his legitimacy without hesitation. They do not question how he qualifies, only that it feels natural for him to be there. His Authority does not compel obedience or alter memories; it merely grants Hibiya the right to occupy a place of meaning in the eyes of others. Main Weapon: Tanegashima-arquebus Secondary Weapon: flintlock pistols

________________________________________ <TEMPERANCE> Name: Oda Nobunaga Historical Information: Oda Nobunaga (1534–1582) was a brutal yet brilliant daimyo who initiated the unification of Japan during the Sengoku Period. By leveraging firearms, strict organization, and ruthless tactics, he overthrew the Ashikaga shogunate, controlled half the country, and laid the foundations for final unification before his forced suicide at Honnō-ji Temple. Affinities: Phys, Ice Skills: One-shot Kill - Deal medium gun damage to 1 foe with high critical rate. Mabufu - light damage to all enemies. Charges: 2 Special Skills: Highest Heavens - Knocks enemies into the air with a shotgun blast, rendering them unable to move (stun) for 2 rounds. Cooldown 3 rounds. Three-Staged Shot - Hibiya fires a series of controlled shots in rapid succession, hitting multiple enemies in a line or in staggered turns. Each “stage” has slightly reduced damage but increased chance to stagger or knockback.

About that, yeah, I meant flintlock pistols. I just forgot what it's actually called....

@Ikan

@Sho Minazuki I've updated the sheets. How is it now?

Persona: Black Crown

@Randomguy Really? I think they’re actually pretty similar. They both come from traditional upbringings and crave validation from others. Though in Hibiya’s case, it’s specifically from his family.
