Spoiler: Character's Physical Description:

Harou is a light skinned male, who has short spiky black hair with bangs that are brushed to the right, and dark eyes. Prior to the medication, he was weak and thin, often showing a sickly appearance. However, after his surgeries and use of Belladonna, he has a lean yet muscular body, with a large scar that runs diagonally from the center of his abdomen to his right thigh, an injury he accumulated at infancy from the Cabal terrorist attack. He also has numerous small ones all over his body, exhibiting healing past surgeries that he underwent during his recovery. He often wears dark clothing and fingerless gloves with boots, with a set of dog tags that hang around his neck. The dog tags seem to hold some personal meaning to him, though he has yet to tell anyone of its actual symbolism, instead keeping the meaning to himself.

Spoiler: Character's Mental Description:

One of Harou’s most important traits is his need for control – of himself and of others around him. Possibly due to the trauma experienced as a child, he has unrelenting rage and darkness in his heart that he effectively has named the Beast of Darkness, often just the Beast. He is very organized in all aspects of his life. He keeps his home clean and neat, writes meticulous notes about his studies, and carefully plans most of his goals and aspirations. Harou admittedly calls himself a “control freak”.

Harou can be quite charming but he is a practiced liar, and in most cases, more trust is placed upon his thoughts than his words. Due to considering his birth a tragedy that cost him the life of his birth parents, Harou has a large amount of darkness in his heart and due to his disability, it became difficult for him to express emotions for those around him, effectively becoming darker as he grew older, showing sociopathic tendencies by the time he underwent treatment.

Except for anger, Harou’s emotional responses are usually part of a well-rehearsed act. He claims he doesn’t have any feelings but feels that in order not to draw attention to himself he needs to effectively communicate to “Humans” on an equal level, doing many studies on social interaction and emotional responses.

Harou frequently references his internal feeling of emptiness as a result of mostly growing older without any real future. He has a fascination with the Ranger Order as he has a skewed belief that their ways of the hunt would be a way to “feel alive” as he considers himself devoid of normal human emotions. He however enjoys the idea of the hunt, the stalking, killing, and ending of a life that he deems unworthy to be Sunagakure, showing intense loyalty to the village and anything that threatens it.

He often refers to “humans” as if he is not one of them, equating himself to a dark deformed monster in the corners of his mind that pretends to be human. Despite his self-perception, he shows intense loyalty to the Senju Clan, his comrades, and particularly his guardian Senju Rikuto who found a way to accomplish the goals he had in mind. Though showing sociopathic and psychological flags, he refuses to allow the darkness in his heart to run rampart and truly believes he needs to aspire to be a normal human with morals, showing that despite his apparent dark personality he chooses to do good despite not understanding the morality of being good.

Above all however, he seems to be most alive on the battlefield, often seen smiling in combat; hinting a sadistic side which compliments his thrill for blood and apparent love for the hunt. Moreover, he tends to toy with opponents that are weaker than himself before finishing them off remorselessly without guilt.

Despite his apparent sociopathy, he isn’t without a heart. He considers himself to have a small conscious that allows him to live by a strict code of needing to be good despite his attraction to evil. His willpower and need for control allow him to exhibit almost superhuman willpower that effectively puts his Beast in check, allowing him to live relatively normal without people noticing his madness. He however despises those of Demon Ancestry or sadistic killers, as they often notice that he is much darker than he seems, almost as if a predator noticing another predator in their vicinity.

Effectively, Harou should have been evil, exhibits evil qualities, and has the personality of a charming psychopathic serial killer. Due to his small conscious, need for self-control, and possibly his disabled experiences -- he instead chooses to be good and kind despite not fully understanding the concept. Senju Rikuto, who is one of the few who noticed the darkness in Harou’s heart has been teaching him to control his dark urges and impulses and to live his life by the Senju Code as well as his own code overtime.

Spoiler: Character History:

Born into the Senju Clan on the night of the terrorist attack by the Cabal, Harou was left an orphan as both his parents were killed in the heinous attack. Debris had fallen on his mother right after she gave birth, causing her to be impaled by the destroyed structures. Senju Rikuto, friend and colleague to the family found Harou being protected by his mother’s body who attempted to shield him from the destruction from the attack. Unfortunately, Harou was gravely injured even as an infant and due to the terrorist attack on the village, aid was not immediately available to be given to Harou which resulted in permanent damage to his vital organs and respiratory system. He would be incapable of becoming a normal functioning adult, much less a shinobi.

Most of his childhood was spent reading stories and novels of legendary shinobis and warriors who protected Sunagakure in the days of yore. Of all the legends and stories he learned of, none fascinated the young boy more than the Ranger Order. The strength and Spartan like lifestyle they lived, along with their history fighting against the Gods and monstrous beasts of yore fascinated him. He often fantasized that he himself would become a powerful Ranger who would rid the world of monsters such as Sandworms and atrocities like the Cabal so none would suffer the life he himself currently was cursed in.

He was Senju in name only, his injuries preventing him from walking without aid much less train to be a shinobi. His resentment towards the Cabal only continued to grow as he held them responsible for his parent’s death as well as taking away his future. As he was unable to train his broken body, he began learning as much as he could about Sunagakure and its history and trying to find as much information as possible on the Cabal. His civilian like status caused many limitations on what he could read into, frustrated that he remained unable to find the information he desired without being a shinobi himself.

On his eleventh birthday, Senju Rikuto who had been secretly searching for someone to aid the young Harou had heard of a prodigal Med-Nin known as Byakko Kyuji who could possibly aim the young aspiring boy. Upon contacting Kyuji, the young med-nin explained the severity of Harou’s injuries, explaining that this was as permanent as it could get. Disheartened the boy fell into depression before Kyuji offered an experimental procedure to possibly aid the boy. However, the procedure was experimental and dangerous though this did not deter Harou who dreamt of becoming a shinobi, becoming a Ranger, and exacting revenge on the group that ruined his life, the Cabal.

For the next year, Senju Harou underwent various surgeries and physical therapy in order to improve his body and functions again. However his organs were also extremely damaged, as a result Kyuji created an experimental drug that would theoretically allow his organs to function normally. The drug was known as Belladona. As the drug was experimental, it had unknown side effects at the time of conception.

Belladona was originally created by Kyuji to aid Harou’s organs to function properly and help him attain better function over is physical capabilities. The drugs however functioned in a way to enhance strength, speed, and agility as well, functioning similar to performance enhancing drugs. Despite its potency, Belladona was found to be addictive and toxic to the body. His body became instantly dependent on the drug, Harou requiring a controlled, continued amount of Belladona in order to stay alive, as it took over his body’s vital functions. Failure for him to regularly take Belladona results in withdrawal symptoms, including dizzy spells, nausea, palpitations, and migraines. Longer withdrawals include hemorrhages, convulsions, hypothermic, labored breathing, and irregularities in cardiopulmonary activity, and eventual heart failure with certain death.

As a result, Kyuji created a depressant/tranquilizer as an opposite to Belladona, effectively becoming a “Downer” and the original drug becoming the “Upper”.

Upper reacts as a stimulant, increasing physical capabilities of Harou far beyond what his broken body was originally capable of. It also allows him to use his body to its limits, allowing him to function normally as well as extraordinary if overdosed on. An overdose severely numbs the pain receptors but also run the risk of incurring further organ damage and a manic state.

Downers act as a depressant or tranquilizer, slowing senses and movement. If taken alongside the upper, it can help maintain the body’s stability. This basically counteracts the effects of the Upper, to avoid overdosing on the upper. When overdosed on Downer, it can cause loss of consciousness, risk of organ damage as it reverts Harou’s body back to its broken state, and extreme fatigue.

As a result, they are usually taken together to neutralize the effects of one another and their symptoms are generally only visible when taken alone. Because of Harou’s dependency on the drug, Kyuji manages Harou’s drug supply strictly and monitors his physical condition closely.

After the successful operations, therapy, and medical drug. Harou was capable of far more than he imagined physically. He instantly enrolled into the Academy and began readying his mind in body for the goals he had in mind. His dream of becoming a shinobi, his dream of becoming a Ranger, and his dream of becoming a proper Senju in the future and undergo the Joining. Everything was but a step however, his true goal was to hunt anything and everything deemed a danger to the village and its inhabitants. He was going to become a hunter of all.
