stepford_smilerIC INFORMATION
[Character]: Cho Hakkai
[Canon]: Saiyuki (Gensomaden)
[Age]:22/23?
[Canon Point]:At the end of Gensomaden
[History]:http://saiyuki.wikia.com/wiki/Cho_Hakkai
[Personality]: Hakkai is described as the 'mother' of the Sanzo-ikkou. If you were to utilize that 'family' gimmick within the quartet, Hakkai would be the mother, Sanzo would be the father, Gojyo would be the older brother, and Goku would be the baby.
Hakkai has the most mild, polite, level-headed and pleasant personality out of them all. He'd possibly be the easiest to get along with, too. He's the mediator and diplomat, the water to the fire, earth, and air. On the other hand, there's a freezing and boiling point to this normally refreshing pool of water.
Hakkai is also what TV Tropes would like to call a Stepford Smiler. He is seen smiling almost all of the time. He has a smile for nearly every one of his emotions. There's his bashful smile, his polite smile, his welcoming smile, his sad smile, his “I'm-this-close-to-ripping-you-a-new-one” smile, his irritated smile, his snarky smile, his scary smile, his exasperated smile, and there are many more.
These can either warm or chill someone. His forced and 'negative' smiles are a lot more unsettling to look at than any genuine or true smile that he could give. The latter are far more rare to see than those that could unsettle a person. Then of course, his normal or polite smiles can make someone feel at ease.
This man is very nurturing. His homeliness is one sign of this. He can cook, clean, tend to medical needs, emotional needs, and can keep a domestic home running smoothly. He worries for people that are close to him and will nag them to stay put when they're in need of rest. He can just be a nag in general, scolding his companions about bad cleanliness habits or about pet peeves of his that they continue to step on. He will take on the responsibilities of supply shopping, making sure the inn is in order, making sure everyone is fed, giving hair cuts when they're needed, and all around taking care of what needs to be taken care of. He likes children, which stems from his caring nature and will do anything in the best of his ability to make sure those around him are protected.
Not to say that he's always a pleasant slice of apple pie. Underneath the surface, there's something very cold there. Even though he can easily get along with people, the relationship can easily just stop at being pleasant acquaintances. It's not easy to become close to this man since he can be rather cold-hearted and a bit prickly in personality. It would take someone who wants this man's help, protection, and friendship for him to start to become close to them. He likes to feel needed and if you can't provide this need to be needed, then he can easily feel inadequate and drift away to be open to someone else who needs him. This might stem from a guilty conscience of not being able to save his sister when she was in trouble which resulted in her death.
For example, each person of the Sanzo-ikkou needs him in some way shape or form... not to mention as a whole to keep them from murdering each other. Sanzo needs him for someone to have a mature conversation with as well as protection purposes. Gojyo needs him to keep his head on straight or else he'd end up making even more stupid decisions. And Goku needs someone to learn from and be mothered by.
Going from that, he has done some pretty reckless things in the name of protecting his comrades, some things that you wouldn't have thought someone with such a strategical and brilliant mind would ever think of doing. But as they say, “Desperate times call for desperate measures” and he's displayed some of those moments.
A prime example of this is removing both his and Goku's limiters in one night to save Goku from dying. That not only put himself in danger, but everyone else around them in harm's way. He asked Gojyo to stop him if he started going berserk, but that would leave him to stop both the Seiten Taisei and a rampaging Hakkai, which, realistically, would have been a near impossible feat unless he lucked out in some way. Especially since Sanzo was nowhere to be found to even help get Goku back on track.
He can also be somewhat of a hypocrite when it comes to pushing himself to the brink. He scolds the others when they're moving around when they're injured or criticizes them for nearly getting themselves killed, but he turns around and does the same thing. This shows that he might have a low sense of self-worth.
Hakkai also isn't above insulting someone in a heartbeat. If you push too many of his buttons, he will be quick to shoot you down verbally or threaten you in such a way that it feels far too much like a promise to be comfortable with. And since he's normally such a pleasant person, some of the words that come out of his mouth when he's less than amused with someone come off far more intimidating than if Sanzo said it since it's to be expected from the monk.
With this, it keeps Gojyo and Goku on their toes with him. They know they've gone too far when Hakkai resorts to a harsh insult or a frightening threat. And he'll do it all with a smile which adds to the fear factor.
Onto another page of Hakkai, he does enjoy some of the smaller things in life. He likes to drink sake and seems to be able to drink as much as he wants without getting drunk. He can pack away bottles and bottles and be unphased. He also likes a simple tea or coffee.
He's also rather lucky at poker, rarely losing to anyone.
He enjoys reading and did so as well as a child. He's also something of a jack of all trades, master of none.
Though he went to college at such a young age and studied physics and theology, he didn't do anything with it, opting to be a teacher instead. He's never mastered anything and put it into use. This just adds to what makes him fit in with the quartet of misfits.
[Abilities/Powers]:
For Abilities, Hakkai is SUPER HOUSE-WIFE. He can cook, clean, take care of children, and pets. He turned a dump like Gojyo's place into something manageable.
Hakkai has two forms, one being his “human form” where his powers are suppressed and he looks like any average human being and his “demon form” where his ears are long and pointed, he has claws, and he looks a lot more wild.
In his suppressed state, he has the ability to use his Qi. Qi or “Chi”is life energy that he can manipulate in three ways. One is being his Qi Gong Canon where he can form a ball of energy into the palms of his hands then release it upon an opponent, blasting them away.
Another way is for healing. If someone is injured, he can heal them using his own Qi, creating a green glow over the victim and closing their wounds. This, however, doesn't compensate for any blood loss the victim has received, but he can repair fractured bones, gashes, minor cuts and bruises, and minor internal damage. If the victim is too far gone, there is little help his ability would do. It'd be like sewing up a stuffed animal with no more stuffing left. He cannot regenerate lost limbs or bring people back from the dead. He also cannot cure poison with his ability.
The last way is to create a protective barrier. By holding his hands out in front of him, he can create a dome shaped shield over just himself or anyone right beside him. This barrier can withstand a lot of pressure and potential damage. For example, he was able to stave off a collapsing underground fortress that was underneath tons of sand. This could protect him from bullets, projectiles, or even someone trying to beat the crap out of him. It couldn't, however, protect him from something like a high caliber missile.
If any of these Qi abilities are used in large amounts in one go, then he becomes faint, feverishly sick, and leaves a heavy strain on his body and will be out of commission for a couple of days and is forced to give himself a rest.
He is also very adept at martial arts. He's a skilled fighter and has more of a style than just scrapping like his companions.
He's also quicker and stronger than the average human, though that's probably not only due to the fact that he's a demon, but also the fact that he's done a lot of fighting during his journey with his companions.
He also picks locks.
In his demon form however, his Qi abilities increase with strength ten fold. The blasts from his canon are immense and extremely powerful. He isn't seen using his other two Qi abilities during this form since he only utilizes this form for offensive emergencies, but it could be understood that they also have increased in power.
His speed and strength also increase greatly. His speed becomes so advanced that not even a human with a skilled eye can see his movements. His strength is also almost comparable to the Seiten Taisei whose strength is godlike. He definitely could not best the Seiten Taisei, but he could certainly hold his own for a while.
Another ability comes with removing his limiters. All along his body are vine-like markings and unlike other demons we've seen, he can utilize them in combat.
The vines seem to extend from his body and creep along any surface he's touching. They can wrap around and bind another being in anyway he sees fit. It is almost as if the markings have become apart of the other person's skin.
[Position]: Child Care
[Why this position?]: He used to be a school teacher for smaller children, so he knows how to care for kids. Though, because these are a bunch of alien children, this will prove a challenge to him.
[Journal Entry Sample]:
[At first, we see a pair of beautiful green eyes peering into the screen of the World Mobile. They seem rather intrigued and bewildered before the camera pulls back to see a pretty-faced man.]
Oh! It's recording!
[He gives an abashed smile and bows his head towards the screen.]
Hello to whomever this is broadcasting to. If anyone would be so kind, I'd really appreciate some assistance. I have quite a few questions that I'd like to ask about this situation. Thank you.
[He finds the end button and turns it off.]
[Prose Sample]:
Hakkai looked around the day care center, wearing his World Mart apron and a comfortable turtleneck sweater. He opted for a darker color knowing how children could be and though he knew he was on a foreign planet, he had no idea what to look forward to in the area of life forms.
A small, little blob of a child rolled passed him making tiny bubbling noises, while a gaseous looking creature bobbed passed his head. This was certainly going to be interesting.
First things' first was to meet with the manager and discuss which age-group he was going to be working with. Because ages were skewed and something that was twenty Earth years old could still be a child as well as something being one Earth year could be an adult, they were categorized by stages of life.
They decided to start him from the youngest stage as a starting point.
He made his way to the nursery where all sorts of cribs were held. There was a large fish-tank for the aquatic types, large metal tanks for those that lived in liquid that wasn't so safe for humans, floating cribs, cribs the sizes of match-boxes, and anything one could really think of.
His eyes looked around for any baby that looked like it needed his attention. In one of the cribs, a scaly little alien was thrashing its nubby legs and shouting out a cry that sounded a lot like his pet dragon's. He strode over to the crib quickly and looked down into it.
“It's all right. I'm going to take good care of you” Hakkai said in a soothing voice and a gentle smile. Before he would administer any care to it, he pulled out his World Mobile where his manager had installed an application that would identify the baby and give out information on how to care for it. He held it out and listened to the device start to speak.
“Crakette from the planet Crake. At this stage, the baby Crackette sheds its skin twice a day and will get fussy if not assisted in taking off its skin. They are an insect eating race and the babies enjoy a puree of worms and crickets warmed up to a temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit. If a baby is particularly irritated, rubbing lotion onto its scales will make it very happy. These babies don't need anymore attention than an Earth lizard might need.”
After the quick explanation, Hakkai reached in cautiously, picking up the small creature and holding it close to his body. If it was lizard-like, then it could appreciate his body heat. He then saw the fold of dead skin and started peeling at it. The skin underneath was shiny and healthy looking.
“There there...” he cooed. “You see? You'll feel better in no time”
The little Crakette baby started to close its eyes and relax in Hakkai's arms as the man carefully plucked off the layer of dead skin. This was possibly the strangest child care he had ever done, but a baby was a baby.
