Name: Hermit (Touha Tanagami)
From: .hack//Quantum
Appearance:
Age: 10 years old
Gender: Male
Personality: Hermit is a rather complex character for a young boy. He is a sweet boy at heart or he was before his extended stay in The World. Originally he was a soft spoken boy who had no real friends due to being in and out of the hospital so much. At the age of ten his autoimmune disease flared up yet again only this time it wasn't stopping. He was sad, not for himself, but for his parents. He could see how hurt they were by this but could do nothing about it. Which was why when he strangely awoke in The World in a cat avatar form with his stick and other tools he set out to do something. He was determined to find a donor for himself so he could save his human body along with helping his parents. Over the years though, how many is unknown by even him, he was hurt and killed time and time again while he was trying to search for his donor. He didn't care what was happening to the people he was hurting by ripping out their personal data in his search. He was scared and just wanted to find the person he was looking for. During all that time he found no friends until he met Sakuya.
Meeting Sakuya and hearing her call him her friend changed something in Hermit. He didn't only care about himself anymore. He found himself drawn to the girl, wanting to see her and spend more time with her. In a way he was in love. And it was this love that taught him to look outside of himself and his wants. He grew a conscience and wanted to free all of the people he had trapped. Unfortunately this change of heart did not last long. It was soon after he went to meet Sakuya and overheard a conversation that said his human self had died seven years ago. So all of the work he had done, all of the people and everything was for nothing. Hermit broke hard. He spiraled down into a suicidal depression and began to attack The World itself. He crashed one of the servers and then infiltrated a server war. It was during this time he grew more angry at other players, envious they didn't feel pain or had to feel death whenever they died. So he was going to make sure they all did and take down as many with him until he was killed. Hermit's plan was to have Sakuya delete him in the end, dying one last time after revealing the Virtual Prison that kept him in the game. He wanted to die as the burden of a never ending future was too much for him to endure.
Overall Hermit is good person though misguided. It doesn't take much for Hermit to trust people as long as they seem kind and open towards him. Otherwise he is shy and distant. He sees people as more of a threat most of the time, his many deaths making him cautious and suspicious of others. He is still a ten year old boy, however, and desperately wants friends. But he is also driven now by a need to end his pain and is slightly obsessed with the thought of pain and death. He can be snarky towards people like the PKs who think killing and hurting others is fun. He can be very judgmental on first impressions and from them decide if he likes someone or hates them. For those he likes he will become close to them and think they can do little to no wrong. But for those he hates, he will distrust them at every turn and may hurt them if they try to harm someone he cares for. Being on this cats bad side is not where you want to be. Though his good side does come with some Yandere traits so it may not be all that much better.
Backstory: Hermit's history starts long before he entered the world. Over seven years ago he was just your normal ten your old boy. He had a loving family and attended school though he didn't have many friends. He was sick and weakly due to his frequent illnesses. It was when he was ten that his illness took a major turn for the worse. It turned out he had an auto-immune disease and his body was quickly deteriorating. He was put into the hospital for a time where all he could do was play the first version of The World, though he didn't get much time to enjoy it before he awoke one day in a strange place in a new body.
He awoke in a strange wasteland with only a large dead tree to keep him company. Attached to the tree were thousands of bodies in cages, all completely black and still. Hermit found he was in The World, ver. 2.0. He awoke to find he had a twig that would allow him to do almost anything he wanted in The World. He spent the next seven years searching for a donor for himself in the real world, never realizing the amount of time he was in The World. Over those years, he extracted the data from Players who would follow him to the tree when he died or who he poked with his twig and PK'd himself. Doing this caused those people to fall into comas and become "Lost Ones". Hermit didn't know this or rather he forced himself to not think about it because he was afraid to.
It wasn't until he met Sakuya that things changed for Hermit. She called him her friend and because of that he became attached to her, never having a friend before that point. Though he was still searching for a donor she became a purpose for him, to be with her and be happy. However soon after he learned he had died in the real world. With his purpose smashed, he lashed out against the world, wanting to hurt others. He interrupted a server war used it as an opportunity to destroy himself. He was tired of living, knowing he would never be free and knew he could not die as long as the tree existed. It tied him to The World and every time he died, he would reappear at the tree. He planned in the end to have Sakuya delete him and end it all. In the end the tree was destroyed and he was deleted, though he wasn't dead.
It turned out his body had been frozen by his Father to keep him alive until they could find a donor. And with Sakuya being revealed as a match, she vowed when she turned 18 to be his donor. In the end Hermit's motivations were to be happy again but when he believed it was impossible he wanted it all to end. He is unfortunately a very sad and lonely young boy over all who just wants to be happy.
Moral Standing: Overall Hermit is more Neutral than anything. He does want to be happy but isn't afraid to do things that are evil to do so. He also is a bit Yandere and will hurt those who hurt him or the ones he cares about.
Dreams: His dream is to no longer be alone. He wants friends and a family again, to be loved and love them in return. It is his overall driving goal.
Fears: To be alone and to have an endless future hanging over his head.
