Character: Robert Haydn
Series: The Law of Ueki
Age: ~15
Canon: In the Law of Ueki, 100 students fight against one another with some of the most inane powers in existence (such as turning trash into trees, one's forehead into a diamond, etc) in order to be the last one standing and make the candidate they're fighting for the new "God." In a tournament run by none other than God himself. ... Yes. Amidst it all stands Ueki Kousuke, who isn't fighting so much to win, but rather, fighting for his "justice" and setting things right, as well as many other Retarded Shounen Values.
The main antagonist for the first half of the series, Robert Haydn is a power user much like Ueki. Known for being the strongest in the tournament and having an equally strong candidate in his father (not to mention his group of lackeys known as Robert's Ten), just the mention of his name sends fear into his opponents. Robert himself is a somewhat detached individual, with a polite manner of speaking covering up his more malicious intentions, which include winning the tournament by any means necessary and generally lashing out at humanity thanks to his Token Emo Past (tm). For the most part, he's a down-to-business sort, but there are a few people that can get under his skin. Whether this is actually a good thing is debatable.
Sample Entry:
The further I find myself in this most dreadful swamp, the more I question the veracity of the information I had received. If this place was truly the location for the next stage of the tournament, then there would certainly be more power users here, would there not? And yet there seem to be no actual participants in sight. How disappointing. And that Mr. King I ran into near the entrance had been so forthcoming in regards to his information about this place too. Perhaps I suppose I should have begun questioning his validity the minute he began to ask me such trivialities as, say, "where is your God now?" I would think he would know the answer to that, all things considered.
No matter. Regardless of whether this is where I initially intended to be, a place such as this can always be useful. After all, it is rather unique, is it not, my good sir? Ignoring the strange and rather uninformed gentleman by the name of Mr. King, of course. Unusual candidates amongst an unusual environment ... mm, it all has this rare quality of being that I have never seen before in my life. Yes, when life gives one lemons, they should then make lemonade. ... is the saying, I believe, although- Mr. "Grughh", was it? I highly doubt that the same could be said for your "brainsonade." That cannot possibly be sanitary for one, and for another? Really, sir. You have no idea where that has been.
But Mr. Grughh, let us forgo this fruitless forum of frisky flora and far from friendly fauna, shall we? I find myself growing weary of it by the minute, and I can tell quite well that your eyelids are drooping. Pull those up if you will. ... much better, yes. You see, while this place does have a distinct lack of power users, it more than makes up for it with those that are unique. Those that have their own special powers, if you will. And you see, sir, I am in need of people like you - people to help me remake this disgusting world. Come now. You groaned it yourself earlier, did you not? If you have a power, do be so kind as to show it to ... me now ...
Hmm. Mr. Grughh, I am afraid that your "abilities" are not quite what I was looking for. While even I must admit that the usage of pus is rather creative in itself, the "pus into more pus" ability is quite lacking in more ways than one. I suppose a rotting human is not a better human after all. But all the same, beggars cannot be choosers. I believe that your ... spirit and willingness to act the noble role of what one would fondly refer to as "cannon fodder" is quite remarkable.
Well then - shall you come with me, Mr. Grughh? A simple yes or no will suffice. We could even shake hands, should you prefer that.
... yes, well. I suppose the literal interpretation is acceptable as well. Humans.
