History:
- Spoiler:
Hikaru was born in the North Blue on an island that has a never ending blizzard. He was born into a upper middle class family with his father being a doctor and his mother a stay at home mother. He also had an older brother who was five years his elder and his biggest source of inspiration. When Hikaru was young he would study under his father in the ways of medicine, his brother on the other hand always wanted to join the Marines when he turned 18.
Ever since Hikaru could remember his brother trained him to grow up to be strong one day. His brother being older than he was of course was stronger, faster, and smarter but this only made Hikaru work harder. His brother guided him in his studies of medicine and through his training in combat. When Hikaru was only 11 years old his brother took him on a camping trip so the two could relax a bit. While on this trip Hikaru met who would be a life long friend.
The same night they set out to go camping Hikaru heard a wold howling frequently in the night. Curious and naive to the danger he went to go check out why it was howling so much. When he stumbled upon the wolf it was injured and alone. Hikaru wanting to help rushed back to camp and returned with supplies to mend it's wounds. At first the wolf was snarling and snapping it's jaws but eventually accepted the help from Hikaru.
Hikaru took the injured wolf back to his camping ground and put it into his tent for warmth and let it rest for the night. In the morning the wolf was caught by Hikaru's brother eating their packed food and his brother freaked out. Since he didn't know Hikaru saved him he tried to attack the wolf but was stopped once Hikaru caught wind of what was going on. He explained that he saved the wolf from dying in the woods and that he was just hungry.
Hikaru's brother accepted the story but they were out of food so they packed up and went home. The wolf followed them home and Hikaru decided to keep him. He named the wolf Haru and it became his best friend and his partner. In training the wolf would assist Hikaru in trying to take down his brother but to no avail as his brother was too good. Two more years past and Hikaru and Haru never beat his brother even once.
Before his brother left to join the Marines he had last words with Hikaru. Hikaru revealed that he wanted to be like his brother and join the Marines when he was older and his brother encouraged it. Before he left his brother gave him his necklace as a gift and then he departed. Over the next 5 years Hikaru trained in medicine, swordsmanship, and fist fighting with Haru standing by his side the whole way. Hikaru grew to be 5'9" skinny but muscular boy and Haru grew to be a large 5'2" wolf on all fours that is capable of carrying Hikaru with ease.
Before Hikaru left the island with Haru to join the Marines his family got note that his brother had died in combat. The messenger that delivered the news also delivered his brother's sword. It was a large black sword that his brother made from a fallen meteor while in the Marines. Hikaru took the sword and thanked the man for delivering it. After the news hit his family Hikaru was saddened and angry only thinking of finding whoever killed his brother but his father calmed the fire dwelling within him. His father told him that seeking revenge is not something Hikaru should do.
His father told him that his brother knew the risk of joining the Marines and fighting against pirates but did it at his own risk to help the world. The best way that Hikaru could honor his brother's memory is to do the same thing since he wanted to join the Marines anyways. Instead of being consumed with thoughts of revenge and hatred his father told him to use the experience as a motivator to help others in need so they don't have to go through what he went through.
He took his fathers words of advice and left the island to head to Marine HQ. He joined the Marines at the lowest rank Chore Boy and has only been enlisted for a week. He has not been assigned to a ship or a captain but is instead working around the headquarters cleaning, training, and running errands. Though he has not gotten any real Marine training he is training himself in the meantime so he doesn't fall behind to anyone. He hopes he can go out and do good in the world soon but is willing to prove himself first by any means even if it means more grunt work.
Personality: Hikaru is mainly an easy going king of guy who isn't too loose with his words but will speak his mind. Being raised in a household of people dedicated to helping others Hikaru adopted that trait. He enjoys helping other people whether it's with their health or if they need someone to fight for them. He knows how to follow orders when given but he is not a blind sheep if he believes orders from a superior will do more harm than good he will not hesitate to decline them no matter the consequences. He doesn't look for bloodshed but he won't hesitate to take a life if he or someone he cares about is threatened. Also he likes to form a strategy before a battle if possible but can also form one in the middle of a battle quite quickly as he can keep a cool head in battle.
