IC INFORMATION Characters Name: Hayate Ayasaki Age: 16 Canon: Hayate the Combat Butler! Canon Point: After chapter 390 Species: Human Gender: Male Orientation: Straight
History:Wiki link for convenience! Appearance:Butler gonna butler Personality: Hayate is one of those Nice Guys. Hailing from the land of shounen harem leads, Hayate has that soft, caring and kind personality that just generally appeals to those he meets. The type that will do his best to help a friend no matter what length he has to go to, and the same can be said about most strangers he meets as well. Calling him selfless would be putting it lightly, as he just has a bad habit of helping anyone he bumps into who is in even the slightest bit of trouble whether they want to be helped or not.
Or at least most of the time that's the case. Since while Hayate is without a doubt a sweet, caring and innocent young man... He's just as much a cynical, harsh and cutting one. When he finds a turn of events troublesome, he'll say it outright. He has very little in the way of a mouth filter, which means he will often say exactly the wrong thing at just the right time. Frankly he's just far, far too honest with people and his opinions. It only gets made worse due to the fact his actions are just as direct, often going a bit too far in his efforts. Or just far enough, depending on who you ask. This is only exacerbated further by the fact that his direct honesty often helps him win over the hearts of girls he meets. Yet even when this happens, he misses all signs pointing to it. All hints given in his direction sail over his head like so many missed arrows. Text book love oblivious protagonist, through and through.
Still, whether he's being a sweetheart or a cynic, he'll always do his best to be polite. Hayate is a butler, a fact he takes great pride in, so he'll always do his best to be gentlemanly on first meetings. The longer you know him, or the better he knows you... the more likely you are to see that more snappy side of him.
Even with his Nice Guy personalty, he's far from perfect. Hayate suffers from a extreme and intense amount of bad luck. Not just 'normal' bad luck. This is the kind of bad luck that will haunt a man at every turn of his life. Anything that can go horribly wrong, more often than not will go horrendously wrong. Hayate is very self-aware of this fact. At times he likens himself to a god of misfortune when the circumstances pile up against him relentlessly. In particular, any matter involving money is heavily influenced by this, as demonstrated by the fact he has a humongous 156 million yen debt left to him by his parents at the start of the series.
Which is another issue. Hayate has some rather extreme issues when it comes to parents. His are the worst. They're cheaters, liars, scam artists and basically had him be the one who did all the work to bring money into their already poor household from the ripe age of seven. As such, he has some very strong feelings regarding such topics. In fact Hayate can just plain old swing into bouts of depression at the drop of a hat due to his upbringing and it giving him very little sense of self-worth. Luckily, given his character as a whole, he swings back out of these rather quickly.
Yet for the most part, Hayate is a cheerful, friendly butler who wants nothing more than to serve his lovely young lady. Even if that involves lots of dramatic battles, breaking the fourth wall, getting hit by cars, fighting robots, crossdressing and being completely oblivious to the fact multiple girls have feelings for him. The standard for a manga lead, really.
Abilities: Hayate doesn't have any special powers.
He does, however, have a alarmingly strong body for someone of his build. He's trained his body since he was six years old, and he works out every night to keep in good shape. So while he might perform some ridiculous feats of strength, it's all from his own effort. The craziest things he can do largely involve taking punishment and dishing it out. For example: He gets comically hit by cars multiple times over the series and comes out from it largely unscathed without a bunch of broken bones, just bruises and possibly passing out. That doesn't mean he can't get hurt though, he often suffers head trauma and gets beat up fairly often. He'll just bounce back faster than most.
Hayate is also incredibly talented when it comes to working. Having done essentially every form of part-time job that exists, along with a few that likely don't, he has a natural talent for picking up work and jobs in a snap. Also due to this, along with some young-age-butlering... Hayate just has a all around natural talent for a laundry list of day-to-day or obscure activities. ... basically he's just really talented and hard working enough that it seems unnatural at times.
Other: He looks very cute in a skirt??
SAMPLES First Person: Hello there, fellow residents!
*Hayate gives a polite wave and smile, looking about as pleasant as a kidnapped person possibly can.* This is without a doubt the most polite kidnapping I've ever been involved in... Usually this kind of situations involve a lot more screaming, rope or gags and bags...
It's a refreshing yet all the same unsettling change of pace to find that kidnappers have turned to such polite and generous methods. I kind of feel like I'm being forced to take part in a reality show, rather than whisked away from home to some strange community... Or a video game. All of those colored keys... It feels like the start of some long, drawn out exploration puzzle. Thankfully they don't all belong to a mansion, or this might wind up being some kind of zombie apocalypse scenario.
... oh. Sorry, I'm rambling a bit! Anyway... um... I might be new here, and I might have a really big reason to want to go home... But for now, I hope I can get along with everyone! ... or at least some of you. Saying everyone on my first day here is kind of asking for the impossible, eheh...
Third Person:
This really wasn't how Hayate wanted to be spending his Sunday afternoon. It was all luck of the draw, or so he was told, yet how he wound up being the only person who could actually cook anything beyond heating things up in the oven or microwave... It seemed like karma, or perhaps just his usual bit of luck with a dash of destiny.
Which is why as he wandered the grocery store, basket full of various foodstuffs for tonight's dinner he couldn't help but let out a sigh as he began thinking about it. Did he need to make some sort of investment in teaching his own "parents" how to cook? It was depressingly similar to his situation with his real ones, yet even then, his mother could at least cook. Why anything his nice-yet-disastrous mother put in the oven somehow came out looking poisonous was a mystery for the ages. Or at the very least one he didn't want to delve too deep to solve.
Still, as a butler... even one who was missing his Mistress... he had no choice but to take up the reigns dropped at his feet and steer this horse back toward the road! Hayate wouldn't let his new household fall into malnourished disarray as long as he drew breath! He might not be used to eating that well himself, yet he couldn't let the whole house suffer from his own willingness to eat on a budget!
With that thought in mind, the butler nodded firmly. There would be more time for despair later on. Well, no... Hayate would actually prefer it if there wasn't time set aside for that. If he meets a small white rabbit like creature asking for a contract, he would immediately turn away from it. He knows how that story ends already. Instead, he would make sure the story of tonight's dinner just didn't involve the kitchen exploding. One step at a time, Hayate. One step at a time.
