Canon: Our story takes place in Shangri-La, where demons and humans used to co-exist peacefully until a Minus Wave started to drive the demons insane. The Three Aspects of Buddha ordered monk Genjyo Sanzo to travel to India and put an end to this, as well as to the impending resurrection of the Ox Demon King. Thus, the Sanzo party (consisting of himself, Son Goku, Sha Gojyo and Cho Hakkai) was formed, and their magical journey to the west began.
At first glance, Hakkai appears to be The Level-headed Member of the group. Often likened to an "old man," this former teacher with a glass eye is very polite, responsible and prone to mother-hen the people he cares about. However, upon spending more than ten minutes around him, one will realize that Hakkai is also a particularly quirky person. His many talents include cooking, lock-picking, gambling and being able to drink like a fish without his inebriation ever showing, amongst others. As if that wasn't enough, he also posesses a lame, punny sense of humour, and a sadistic, vengeful, creepy streak that makes him the number one person the Sanzo party absolutely does not want to cross. Really, when it comes to being a special snowflake, Hakkai takes the cake and eats it too.
Sample Post:
Good day, everyone! It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Cho Hakkai and from today on I will be working as camp's Alcoholic Beverages Consumption Monitor. I hope we can all get along! Despite this not being exactly my field of expertise, I will work hard at it; I do have first-hand experience in dealing with ill-mannered, inconsiderate drinkers on a regular basis, although I hope I won't have to put it to use with any of you. ♥
According to the reports I was given upon my arrival, it appears most people have been fairly mature about the usage of this substance since the ban was lifted. This is certainly admirable! However, there is still a small percentage of the camp population who continues to behave irresponsibly in regards to drinking, such as drunken squirrels vandalizing toucans' nests - drunken underaged squirrels, my! Clearly we must put a stop to it, and that's why I will talk to you today about the reasons why we should all be careful when partaking of alcohol, and set a good example for the small animals.
It is said that drinking alcohol can have positive effects on one's health, but please keep in mind that consuming alcohol immoderately is very likely to cause blackouts, which can be not only confusing but terribly awkward for people. I'm sure none of us would like to find themselves waking up between a goat and a gorilla without having any recollection of the events that may have led to this, now would we~? Other short-term effects of alcohol can be terribly embarrassing for family and friends - they might refuse to pay for your bail or even your hospital fees should you become involved in a fist-fight with, say, an unsuspecting boxing kangaroo. And if we go into long-term consequences, it is very possible that you will end up resembling Mr. Uwarrrgh over there in a few years. Poor Mr. Uwarrrgh does not seem to be aware that neurons do not regenerate -- or that's what his clamors for 'brains' lead me to believe, at any rate...
--Ah! This is getting a little long-winded, isn't it? Thank you for listening until the end. Next time we'll talk about home-made hangover remedies! To wrap things up, I would like to point out that although I do enjoy all sorts of alcoholic beverages, I won't turn my blind eye to any sort of alcohol abuse even if you should invite me with a drink. You see, I can hold my liquor better than most... Which means that, in a worst case scenario, I may just end up drinking all of it, ha ha ha! So, let's all exercise responsibility when drinking! As the proverb says, "sweet is the wine but sour is the payment."
And I assure you - I can be quite the sourpuss when displeased.
