Already, these kids were starting to piss him the hell off.

Hajime despised the ones who tried desperately to sound sophisticated. Out of the children that were present, he had only picked out four or so of them individually, all of which led up to the disagreement he had with Decimo, and brought the Guardian candidates into a potential ring conflict like the previous generation had. "I'm the External Advisor of the Vongola Famiglia," he sighed, particularly uninterested in introducing himself. "Otherwise known as the second-in-command as of a week before. I-"

"Dad has as much power as the real Boss when there's problems going on in the family!" The older Daisuke chimed in.

Hajime scoffed, resuming. "Among all of you, only a small portion of you were actually selected by me." he cleared his throat, raising a hand to chest level and looking down at his Boss Ring. Lowering it, he shot a dagger of a glare at the Storm candidate, though the child was shut down by the boy that he had seen from the festival. He simply blinked down at Fionn, expressionless. "Well, duty calls, kid. I've got a job to do and that's to make sure my selections are the ones to succeed," he paused slightly, growing dark. "And for the contesting selections to fail."

Hajime's brief moment of a threatening tone was interrupted by Daisuke. "Dad, that's rude!" the man chided, punching his father in the shoulder. A scowl rippled across Hajime's face as Lightning Flames flared from his ring and surrounded his balled-up fist, condensing fast as the electricity solidified. A fraction of a second passed before Hajime stepped his right foot back and arced his right arm back, landing a quick punch to Daisuke's chest and, this time, sending the future version of his son through the wall of Naoto Alato's residence.

"What a drag," Hajime complained, the electricity fading away as he ran the hand under his hat and through the hair underneath. "The use of Flames have been outlawed in the Mafia world since Vongola Decimo took his seat," he seemingly recited to himself, shaking his head. "That amount is minuscule compared to my full capabilities, but that little concentration is more than enough."

As Hajime continued to mumble to himself, pink smoke erupted from the inside of the hole in the wall, and a smaller outline appeared standing on the interior. "Jesus chemist!" the raspier, higher-pitched voice of Daisuke sounded as a foot stepped past the hole and onto the grass of Naoto's backyard, his full body coming into view shortly after. Just as Daisuke's eyes met the back of the man in the suit with a fancy hat, he cringed and screamed at the top of his lungs. "THE SCARY WOMAN AND HER HUSBAND, A SCARY MAN!" he pointed at Hajime and Sonya.

Hajime gritted his teeth as a vein seemed to pop at his forehead, letting out an agitated sigh. "I'll be taking my leave for now," he said, looking to Sonya and turning back. Just before he made his leave, he placed a hand on the Storm candidate's shoulder and leaned in close to whisper into the child's ear. "Listen to me clearly," he spoke rather hastily. "What do you see before you?"

Hajime seemed to flash quick glances at the entire company, though his head remained unmoved. "Who is the real enemy?"

With that, the External Advisor pulled back and brisked through the hole in the residence, disappearing after calling out, "Try not to die in the next few weeks." Daisuke, who had fled to a nearby shrub, peeked his eyes out from his hiding spot before squirming from the foliage, still trembling. "I-is he gone?"

OC: Hijitaka Toushirou, Gintama

Name:
Hajime Honda – 'Vector'

Age:
Thirty-six years old.

Gender:
Male

Country of Origin:
Italy Born – Ethnically Japanese

Role:
Leader of CEDEF [External Advisor of the Vongola Famiglia]

Weapon / Fighting Style:
Rapier (Box Weapon)

Flame:
Lightning

Appearance:
Hajime greatly resembles Reborn in both attire and physical image, the world's strongest hitman and Sun Arcobaleno who tutored Tsunayoshi Sawada. He stands just below six feet tall, clad in an all-black suit with a yellow long-sleeved polo shirt underneath, wearing polished black boots as his choice of footwear with a black fedora topped on his head when undercover.

Though, when not incognito, Hajime reveals his emerald eyes and short, messy black hair with bangs that naturally fall into a middle-parted curtain-type style. Underneath a long and black trenchcoat, he wears a green buttoned waistcoat and trousers of the same color, giving him a sort of regal appearance. His original hair color was brown, but was dyed black for undercover purposes.

Hajime is missing his pinky finger on his right hand, which is rather notable.

Personality:
It is safe to say that Hajime is not necessarily a recipient of a parent of the year award. As the astute head of the Vongola Famiglia's independent intelligence agency, CEDEF, he is rarely ever seen at 'home' and in the company of his only son. Stout and zealous almost to a fault, this no-nonsense man refuses to allow a majority of outer influences to hinder the progress of his work, and operates moreso upon intellect rather than emotion.

Hajime is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that he completes his objectives to the highest amount of finalization, showing a deep devotion to the cause of the Vongola and holding Tsunayoshi Sawada with an unfathomable sense of loyalty. He seeks to eliminate all of the Family's opposition and to eradicate injustice by bringing light to the dark in the world, showing similar intentions like the original vigilante group that Vongola Primo had in mind when the Vongola was formed, and the one that Vongola Decimo has resuscitated.

However, in spite of his righteous intentions, Hajime's former affiliation with the Yakuza have left him notably corrupted with a sort of heartless mindset. The extent of his resolve to tackle any risk for the sake of the Family's growth is starkly grand; he would not hesitate to involve other innocent people and endanger their lives if he firmly believes that a small act of foul play would protect a larger population.

Background:

Childhood

Born in the city of Bologna, Italy, Hajime Honda was the second child of Kanetsugu Fukushima and Miyako Honda, who were selected to become members of a newly-formed (at the time) branch of the Vongola Famiglia called the Varia. In coincidence, the two decided to send their child to the small Japanese town of Namimori to be raised by relatives from his mother's side in hopes that he will grow up normally until the day comes where he would decide whether or not he would want to associate himself with the mafia, or not.

As a child, Hajime was a very quiet and sickly boy, discontent with how things seemed to be 'too normal' – he was nearly held back a year for having a large number of absences, but managed to pull himself into junior high school. Though, he was often ridiculed, and told that he would not accomplish anything in the world.

Teenage Years

His first year in Namimori Middle was where Hajime would soon meet and begin a longtime friendship with Tsunayoshi Sawada, the two being completely unaware of their ties to the Vongola Famiglia. As he breezed through the three years of junior high school, he was eventually notified by his relatives of his family's connection to the mafia, and to their surprise, he took the news well because of his lack of interest in Namimori, even showing enthusiasm over the Vongola's reputation as a crime syndicate (at the time).

After graduating from Namimori Middle, Hajime made the decision to not attend the optional high school, and instead, flew back to Italy where he was welcomed as a member of the Vongola. Though, to his surprise, among the people to greet him was Tsunayoshi Sawada himself, who revealed that he was to succeed the throne as Vongola Decimo. This shocked Hajime, who had not noticed a single abnormality about Tsuna throughout their entire last year of middle school, but he was willing to accept his friend as his new boss.

Adult Years

Settling down and living out life as an official member of the Vongola Famiglia for three years, a sixteen year old Hajime was called to Decimo's office for an important discussion. He was informed about the Vongola's recent activity in Japan, and how their latest operation conducted by the Varia and CEDEF (now merged into one branch) took the life of Iemitsu Sawada, the tenth Boss of CEDEF.

On the spot, Hajime was offered by Tsuna to inherit his father's position as the new boss of CEDEF, to which he accepted without hesitation. One year after this iconic moment, Tsuna would formally request for him to conduct a solo espionage operation and gather information on the largest Yakuza organization known as the Yamaguchi-gumi, who had been the ones that murdered Iemitsu Sawada and were reported to have turned their sights to the Vongola Famiglia in hostility, and to spend as much time as he could and wanted to, as long as he was able to relay information. Unable to refuse his friend's request, the man set his sights back to his former home of Japan.

The Operation

After arriving in Japan, Hajime decided that the best method of espionage was to infiltrate the Yamaguchi-gumi by becoming apart of their ranks. Through thorough search and travel, he came upon the headquarters of the organization and sought out a few members who led him to Kenichi Shinoda, the oyabun of the Yamaguchi-gumi, for an interview of first impressions. He was placed on an 'induction trial' for a period of three weeks under the supervision and shelter of a senior, surprisingly proving himself in under half of the required time and becoming a full-fledged member after committing a prerequisite act of murder.

And over the course of two more years, Hajime would soon find himself suddenly infatuated and admiring the life of a criminal, having already gained a notable reputation within the higher branches of the organization in that short time span. He was invited to attend a private party with the oyabun, his relatives, and the higher-ups of the Yamaguchi-gumi in attendance, to which he himself also attended.

At this very gathering, Hajime was approached by Kenichi, who spoke highly of the man who had only been a member for two years and already accomplished more than many of the senior members. To coincide, he was told that Kenichi intended to promote him to become a part of the Yamaguchi-gumi's administration branch, as well as the desire of his sister, Satomi Shinoda, to marry him. Almost as if he had forgotten about his mission and the Vongola Famiglia, he accepted both with open arms.

The Revelation

For an entire six years, Hajime devoted himself to his new role and family, having risen to the leadership of the administration and fathering two children during those six years. He had cut off contact with the Vongola completely. He and Satomi settled in Aichi Prefecture, where they lived normally and rarely burdened by the lifestyle of the Yamaguchu-gumi. Kenta, the older son of the two, possessed a rare combination of Sky and Lightning Flames inherited from the two, and Daisuke, the younger son, possessed solely Lightning Flames inherited from himself.

It was, until a discovery was made within the ranks of the Yamaguchi-gumi. A number of people were found out as spies sent by the Vongola Famiglia under Decimo's orders to search for Hajime Honda many years before, and after word spread to the ears of Kenichi Shinoda, the oyabun was a furious man for the first time since he arranged for the marriage of his sister to the primary spy, who was his own right hand man.

Outraged, Kenichi sent men to ambush and kidnap the unsuspecting Honda family, holding them captive within their headquarters in Kobe. Restrained and unable to struggle as he watched the oyabun order the vicious beating of his two sons, Hajime had been reminded of true dark nature of the Yakuza, and the atrocities that he had committed. He begged for the cruelty to stop and, mentally, swore vengeance on the Yamaguchi-gumi, watching helplessly as Kenta stood up to protect his younger brother.

As his own punishment, Kenichi sliced off Hajime's little finger, also commanding the men to beat the eldest son to death for the boy's comments towards them in protection of Daisuke, to which they did. Bloody and bruised alongside his only son and wife, they were dumped onto the streets of Aichi Prefecture where they were to be kept under high surveillance.

Later Life

Now free from his false reality, Hajime sought to escape the clutches of the Yamaguchi-gumi and return to Italy with his family in tow. Fortunately, one of the Yakuza members tasked with monitoring the Honda family was none other than the twenty-five year old Vongola Guardian of Lightning, Lambo, himself, who had also gone undercover. He revealed himself to the identity-conflicted boss of CEDEF, and stated that Tsuna had gone so far as to risk a Guardian to relocate and rescue him, along with a large task force over the last decade, stating that their objective was to extradite him to the United States to live under the radar.

Hajime, touched by Decimo's longtime search for him, vowed to return to the Vongola, and with the help of Lambo, he was finally able to take his family with him away from the danger. Though, it did not take long for the Yakuza to catch up, and they soon began to converge upon the party as they proceeded to the extraction point and awaited for their transport. Lambo stayed behind to fight off the gangsters and, in the process, was wounded severely.

As Hajime was prepared to help the Guardian, Satomi stood up and advised her husband otherwise, stating that she would 'tie up loose ends' with Kenichi, her brother. Though he was against it completely, it was already too late – Hajime and his son were forced onto the extraction plane out of Japan, and he could only watch in horror as Satomi stayed behind to combat her own family organization.

Landing in America, Hajime was visited by a woman by the name of Ottavio, who revealed her connection to the Bovino and Vongola Famiglia, stating that she had taken care of Lambo as a child and as such, volunteered to raise Daisuke in Hajime's absence as the boss of CEDEF. He accepted her offer and left Daisuke under her care, flying off back to Italy to return to his home of the Vongola Headquarters.

When Hajime met Tsunayoshi Sawada for the first time in six years, he swore his utmost allegiance to the Vongola and vowed to stick by his friend's side, never allowing any other outer influence to disrupt his work every again. Though he would visit his son in New York very rarely, only returning if a mission ever took place within the vicinity, he refused to stray away from the Vongola's cause.

Over the course of the next decade, word spread all around the mafia that a strange condition ran rampant within the tenth generation family, resulting in their inability to function and lead properly. This sprung the possibility of successors to become the next generation of Vongola Guardians, and as Hajime and a sickly Tsuna debated over the candidates, Daisuke was selected by Hajime to become the candidate of Lightning due to Lambo's sustained injury in addition.

For this reason, Hajime decided to return to their home in New York, taking Daisuke and Ottavio to Trespiano where the selected candidates were supposedly being gathered together.

Overview:
Hajime Honda, the enigmatic eleventh Boss of CEDEF otherwise known as Vector, is the widowed father of Daisuke Honda, the candidate of the eleventh Vongola Guardian of Lightning. His solidified propensity towards serving the Vongola Famiglia and guaranteeing the protection of its foundation is only surpassed by his devotion to Tsunayoshi Sawada.

It's to make up for the days gone by-

As One | Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

To be kneed in the chest, struck with a powerful palm attack, and sent flying straight into the wall of the Boss' house, was extremely painful.

But nothing could compare to the excruciating agony of an empty stomach's rumbling.

"Itai..." Daisuke stifled a whimper as he remained face down on the ground, his arm slowly lifting to place a hand at the back of his head as his other hand lifted his light body from the floor. He fell on to his backside and sat upright, seeing that his Bō Staff had went with him and laid a few meters beside him. He continued to rub his head and pout mentally about not having breakfast until the scary woman shadowed over him, and he screamed, falling back a bit. "Please! Don't hurt me!" he waved a hand in front of him, now backed up against the wall. When she remained unmoved by his plea, he hastily crawled to the right and dove for his weapon like an action hero, jumping to his feet and breaking off into a sprint across the yard.

"I'm too young to die!" Daisuke howled as he attempted to run away from the scary woman.

---

Tch. No good.

Vector tapped his feet on the roof of Naoto's house, irritated at the lack of potential that the Lightning Guardian candidate exemplified. Was this choice of a successor truly this frantic and cowardly? Feeling that he had no choice, he reached down to a wooden crate and pulled out a massive purple 'toy' bazooka, loading one 'shot' and hefted it onto his right shoulder. He aimed precisely where Daisuke would run to, and in an instant, he pulled the trigger. The shot pierced the air as a pinkish trail of smoke followed it, pinning the Japanese boy directly in the back and filling the boy's surroundings with pink smoke.

Show me who you are, ten years from now.

---

A small part of Sonya was relieved to see the idiot rise up after slamming hard onto the wall, but she quickly rolled her eyes at Daisuke's failed attempt to run away and responded with a heel kick to the shoulder, forcing him down to his knees. "The Thunder Guardian is the one who willingly takes the attacks aimed at the family. Without complaints. Now quit your whining and get ready." Sonya stated as she pulled her foot off him. She was about to release another string of attacks when the familiar sound of a cannon firing stopped her in her tracks. Not wanting to get caught in the blast, the red head leaped back just in time to see Daisuke get engulfed in pink smoke.

The pink smoke slowly began to dissipate as the gigantic outline of a man replaced where Daisuke stood, an 'additional joint' extending from the hands as an object was flipped from the extension and landed back down at the arm.

Well this certainly spices things up. She thought as a taller, leaner Daisuke rose from the dissipating smoke.

"JESUS CHEMIST!" The much-deeper voice of the man followed after the object landed. The pink smoke completely dispersed, and a titan of an older Daisuke appeared, a pan held in his hand and a pancake on his wrist. He dropped the pan and began to fumble the hot pancake, causing it to flip back into the air. Seeing this, the future version of Daisuke's eyes grew wild and, like a wolf pouncing on its prey, he set his teeth into the pancake as it was midair. He blinked twice before he spit it back out, panting. "Hot, hot, hot..."

It was then that Daisuke realized where he was, and an overjoyed face quickly came after the revelation. "I was just making breakfast for you guys!" he exclaimed, looking around curiously and observing everyone until his eyes landed on Sonya, to which he cringed. A sly grin followed shortly after as he slowly walked towards her, picking up the Bō Staff from the ground where his younger self had dropped it. "Yo, Sonya." he called out, walking up to her. "It's me, Daisuke, the person who you always scared."

Abby coughed lightly and covered her mouth, the scent of smoke reminding her of the events that took place just yesterday. But to her surprise, nothing had caught fire. Instead, a dark-haired man stood tall in the middle of the scene, a pan in one hand and a pancake resting on his wrist. He was rather handsome, but that thought soon disappeared from her mind when Daisuke-like tendencies arose from said man as he tossed the pancake into the air and caught it with his mouth.

"What just happened?" She questioned as the seemingly man announced that he was, in fact, the Japanese boy. He had a confident swagger to him that Abby found attractive until Sonya rushed forward and slammed her fist into his stomach.

"Everyone, what you see before you is the result of a special weapon called the Ten-Year Bazooka." The red-head announced before promptly kicking the man in the shin.

"Made famous by the previous Thunder Guardian, anyone shot with the Bazooka will switch places with their ten years later form." Another kick, this time to Daisuke's ribs.

"This effect only lasts for 5 minutes before the current and future self switch back." Sonya finished off her assault with one last punch to the face, sending the older man flying through the back yard again, landing just before the fence right into Miku's gardenias. The red-head dusted off her hands as she turned to the teenagers watching.

"Any questions before we move on?"

"Yeah," the older Daisuke coughed as he rose from his makeshift grave, seemingly unaffected by the attack. He retained his smile and began to spin the Bō Staff around with no fault. He returned to the company of the main group and threw it off to the side, just in case he would have lost track of time and it would accidentally leave with him. "Where's my dad?" he asked Sonya rather simply, his eyes wandering around until they met the figure blocking the sun from Naoto's roof.

Unlike the typical attire that one would assume to be worn by a mafioso, Daisuke dressed like an average everyday citizen. Wrapped around one of his fingers was a ring that resembled one during engagement. "Hajime!" he called out for the man to reveal himself, to which he did in a rushed manner. As soon as Vector landed with no issue, he landed a jab across Daisuke's face, though it did not produce much of an effect like Sonya's attacks.

"Idiot, who told you to call out my name like that?"

Daisuke frowned. "You're still cranky, Dad!" he sounded disappointed. "Ten years from now, you're cool and-"

"Pipe it, you." Vector warned his son, sighing. "It was a matter of time before my cover was blown, anyway."

nope
it's completed

though, it's a rather large post, so prepare yourselves for a bit of reading

As One | Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

Kal-El said Though it could be argued that if you are joining an rp based from an anime/manga then you are only spoiling yourself.

Which is why we strongly recommend(ed) people who want to join to have watched the anime. It's stated in the interest check (and in here at some point) that this will only go off of where the anime left off, and not delve into anything relating to what else is additionally covered in the manga. Forgot to put it into the OP but it'll go there at some point.

Kal-El said Flame of Wrath or I can just make the Flame of Earth a thing and use it differently from a little well known badass.

No.

Kal-El said I like to be different. lolz. Since everyone basically has the same flame in multiple cases. Or can go the Xanxus route and have a second wielder of the sky flame. I won't bite......yet.

So what you're implying is that every character of ours is the same. And that only you can possibly be different. Right. lolz.
It's common knowledge that Sky Flames are the rarest of the seven. So I'd have to say no to another Sky-related character.
And you 'won't bite'? What's that supposed to mean?

EDIT: I'm actually off for the night. I replied to Agni and all so I'm waiting on her and then we can post the next part or something.
