Canon Point: Hermit is from the moment the virtual prison was destroyed and he was able to get his hug from Sakuya before being deleted from The World.
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.
Abilities: Hermit himself has very few abilities of mention. He has feline balance and agility though with his small size it doesn't help much. He is also somewhat strong as he was able to drag dead bodies up a hill in the rain but strength in The World was relative so most others could do that too. He is also highly gifted with analytic intelligence. He can analyze data and other things with remarkable speed and keep tabs on it mentally. Hermit also as the ability to make his items from The World appear at will in a flash of purple. Those items include, his Fish Sword which is a broad sword his size that looks like a fish bone, 7 healing potions (potions that heal a small amount of damage), 3 healing elixirs (three potions that heal all damage), and 99 Popsicle sticks (yes popsicle sticks). This ability will not work on any items obtained by Hermit from the point he enters the Castle and onward unless they are items from The World that he obtains through wishes.
The main bulk of Hermit's abilities come from his twig however. In the castle the powers will be weakened however. It has the ability to delete rocks and other items from existance, including other character's items, pending mun permission, but it cannot delete the doors or important puzzle items. Also he can no longer delete people though he can freeze someone in time for about 20 seconds, mun permission needed as well.
His twig can also slice through objects that are no thicker than six inches and again cannot be anything plot related and mun permission is needed if it is a player's item. Also he can set flammable things on fire, such as booze and clothing with mun permission as well. None of his twig's abilities will work on the shadows as well.
Writing Samples: You must include any TWO of the following:
1. I don't like it here. I know a lot of people say that. Not many could like it in this Castle, sure. But that's now what I mean. It isn't just the castle I don't like. It's everything. I don't like any of it. This place, these feelings, being here, anywhere. None of it I like. Back in The World it was the same almost. Only hear everyone can feel it. The pain, the cold, the hardness, dying. It isn't fair. If we die we come back, I know. I died here already and I just came back. The monsters are after us but so are some of us too. They're just like the PKers. They don't care about anyone other than themselves. Nothing is better here. It never will be.
And don't tell me it will get better. It won't. We're trapped here, trapped to keep exploring and finding nothing. Over and over. The future is endlessly hanging over our heads and we can't do anything about it. The Shadows will keep coming as will the PKers. The Queen wants us all gone too. We're doomed, that's just how it is.
Some of us have friends. I have one friend. But friends only help so much. They're nice when they're around but once they're gone it gets lonely again. It's just the same thing over and over again. I'm tired of it always going in circles. I'm tired period.
I just want to leave. I don't want to be here anymore. I'm sorry but that's how I feel. But we can't leave. We can't even die and escape. So what does that leave? Is there anyway to get free of this place or is all we can do is hope that one day we wake up back home? And what about those who have no home to go back to? What happens to them? Just so many questions and no answers. Just like back home.
