[series]: BlazBlue
[character]: Hazama (Yuuki Terumi)
[character history/background]:
In the beginning Hazama was known by his true name of Yuuki Terumi, a man who had bonded his soul to a suit of armor called the Susano-o unit. The unit itself was governed by a machination known as the Master Unit 'Ameterasu'. Though over time the notion that being slave to a machine which governed his actions as long as he was within drove him insane and caused him to forcibly eject from it. Though not much information is available what he did during this time it is known that he somehow found a new body for his soul to inhabit and soon began to research a way to destroy the Master Unit. The method he found after some time was the Azure Grimoire, better known as BlazBlue, a concentrated form of energy known called seither. BlazBlue took the form of a cauldron which he would attempt to use to forge the only weapon possible to destroy the object of his hate, the god-slaying sword Kusanagi. Though things went haywire as the cauldron began to act up and spawned a sentient and insanely violent and ravenous creature which became known as The Black Beast instead of Terumi's much desired weapon.
Wanting nothing more than to erase his own mistake before it ended up eliminating him in the process, since it ate all forms of life which included souls, he teamed up with five other warriors to combat the creature which they were finally able to do after using the souls gathered by BlazBlue in order to craft the Nox Nyctores and Ars Magus, weapons that combined magic and science which allowed them to finally defeat the beast.
Though after this, Terumi betrayed the heroes and went underground after his true goal was discovered. Fast forward many year later to while in ghost form, he meets Relius Clover who helps him in crafting a new body for him to inhabit as well as instigating the start of a series of events which would later culminate in Calamity Trigger. During this time he masquerades as high ranking intelligence officer for the Novis Orbis Librarium (NOL), the world's governing body, while at the same time pushing forward with his own plan of destroying the world due to his belief that it was built upon nothing but lies and the only truth for everyone is one of despair.
[character abilities]:
Hazama is a crafty fighter using a combination of close-range combat and aerial combat in conjunction with his Nox Nyctores, a pair of snake-headed grappling hook and butterfly-knife combos called Ouroboros. Though as with all Nox Nyctores, Hazama has to give up something in order to utilize its power, but at the moment it's unknown what it is that he has to trade in for being able to wield Ouroboros but the common belief is that he looses emotions which hinder people on the battlefield. Which doesn't seem to have much effect since he's a pretty amoral creature to begin with. Also, the weapon is known to actually have an effect on the mental state of anyone struck by it.
He's also the creator of the Azure Grimoire or BlazBlue which he currently has in his possession. When he activates it his strength goes up exponentially as well as bestowing upon him an aura which eats away at the vitality of anyone that gets close enough to him. In addition it also grants him the ability to gather souls in order to forge things with it.
Being a soul bonded to a false body, Hazama is able to separate from it and exist in his ghostly form, during which he's able to influence the actions of people should he so choose. Also he's able to sense the presence of people and also mask his own. Hazama is also a highly prolific troll, able to easily get under people's skin without too much effort. Also has proficient understanding of the arcane and science due to his being involved in the creation of the Nox Nyctores and BlazBlue. Hazama is also knowledgeable about various information gathering methods due to his position in the intelligence department of the NOL.
[character personality]:
Hazama has two sides to his character. Up front he's a calm speaking, laid-back, and generally respectful young man that one wouldn't take much notice of. But in actuality he's highly cruel, vulgar, sadistic, manipulative, and violent. His cruelty is much apparent when he begins to either taunt his enemies, such as Ragna, over their lack of strength to when he's screwing with a person's inner darkness to the point they'll either switch sides or become so forgone that all they'll want to do is destroy everything. If he believes that a person is becoming too much of a hindrance he'll do everything conceivably possible to end their lives from sending assassins to even performing the deed on his own. All this he'll do with a sense of glee since he's not hindered at all by remorse or guilt.
Even during a fight he'll seem highly flippant about people due to himself being vastly stronger than most. Hazama will openly taunt and demean his opponent and even consider them nothing more than a light warm-up. Though there are a few things which cause the generally affably evil man to completely loose his cool and that being vampires like Rachel or cat-humanoids like Jubei. This is mostly because they tend to be the only ones who can actually give him a challenge in a fight.
The main driving point about him is that he believes that the world itself is full of lies and that the only way to awaken people to the truth of the matter is to basically engage in genocidal destruction or imparting a great sense of despair upon people before they die either by his or his pawns hands.
[point in timeline you're picking your character from]:
Right after he taunts Tsubaki after she becomes blind from overusing Izayoi.
[journal post]:
Ah...this is...a surprise. Nothing here doesn't seem at all familiar.
Would anyone care to tell a guy where he's at?
[Private]
What the FUCK?! Right when I'm in my moment of glory I'm now in the middle of who knows where! SHIT! Oh well nothing more I can do than make the most out of the fucking peons here and get some damn information.
But I guess I could have a little bit of fun with these doe-eyed retards while I figure out what the shit I should do.

[third person / log sample]:
Hazama stood on the top of the NOL headquarters of Kagatsuchi twirling his black fedora around lazily, his He was sick of the world and all of its damned lies. Over the many years he drifted the knowledge of the world repeating itself in the same loop did more than to drive him more than a little bit insane. But now everything was slowly coming together, it would soon be time for the distortion covering all to be destroyed. Though it all depended upon the little pawns he had milling about. With a cruel smile he took note of one of his most recent acquisition in spearheading his plot along, Tsubaki Yayoi. It was almost too easy how it was to turn her, taunting her after she lost her eyesight that she had lost her place to the so-called inheritor of the Azure. Hazama's normally slitted eyes opened slightly to show his gold irises while a sick smile spread across his face he recalled the look of absolute loss and despair the young woman had on her face after he continued to accentuate the ever present doubts and negativity that she had kept within her.
Though Ouroboros did allow for his psychological gambit to work its magic quickly. With a small flourish he sat the hat down upon his head and tilted it forward a bit. Time was running short and there was still more that he had to do before everything went into full swing and he knew the longer he waited the more that shitty vampire and damn cat would stick their noses into it. It wasn't as if they could fully stop his plan it was more along the lines that they were just so damn annoying to him.
----
One would think that Hazama would've gotten used to the droll monotony that would fill one's days but sadly that wasn't the case. In all honesty he was chomping at the bit to go out and wreck a bit of havoc upon the helpless little rebel, Ragna the Bloodedge, and that shitty vampire. The thought of Rachel Alucard caused the man's face to contort into a ugly scowl as he recalled how she had stopped the attack of what many had considered to have the strongest attack of the Nox Nyctores weapons, the satellite cannon Takemikazuchi with Tsukiyomi, another Nox Nyctores which specialized in defense. Noticing that he was gripping his beloved fedora a bit too tightly the man slowly began to calm down though the string of profanities which slipped past his mouth as he described the things he would love to do to his nemesis' and her mother with what could only be described as some obscene farm equipment from one of the lower rungs of Hell seemed to state otherwise. As he continued to rant he heard a knock at his door and nearly cursed louder as he realized that the knock had to come from the latest pawn in his scheme to destroy the facade everyone came to believe was reality.
By that it was what he had become knowledgeable of during the time he spent bonded to the Susano-o unit, the ever present cyclical cycle of events which were crafted through the Master Unit and recorded by the overseers of Takamagahara. Knowing that basically everything in his world was preordained to continue in a set cycle was enough to drive him insane and force him to devise a way to enlighten everyone that everything was a lie and the only truth to the damned world was despair. A sense of foreboding and loss that only the complete and utter destruction of the status quo could bring about. And he would do everything within his ability to bring it about, poisoning the lives of those he deemed would work as the perfect pawns in his plans. With the dangerously subtle movements of a snake he stood from his desk and moved to lean against the front of it as he put on a cheery smile and with a friendly tone of voice called in whomever was behind the doors to his office.
Outwardly he was polite and somewhat charming as he spoke to his newest little game piece, Tsubaki Yayoi, a noble from one of the Twelve Families and a loyal servant, though he'd much prefer to equate her to a dog, to the ruler of the NOL as one of her “Wings of Justice”. As he continued to brief the woman on her orders he couldn't believe just how easy acting all proper and friendly had become to him over the years. As he continued to indulge in a bit of small talk before moving on with setting one part of his plan into motion, an act which was somewhat hard to keep in due to his previous frustrations. Inwardly he wanted to laugh out loud and rip into the poor girl with some good old psychological torment but he had found that building up person and then slowly breaking them yielded the best results. And with a sense of finality as he continued on informing Tsubaki of her mission came the first strike against her psyche,the most important aspect of her task, orders from the ruler of the NOL, The Imperator, to kill her best friend from school and the man she had loved ever since she was a little girl.
Not that she would conceivably be able to carry out such a task but what he really wanted was to impart a lot of psychological stress on his targets and what better way to do so than putting bosom buddies and would-be lovers against one another? Within moments the briefing was done and the young woman left, her barely contained reservations about the mission giving Hazama a perverse sense of joy. He then thought on just how much he would enjoy seeing how much more distraught Tsubaki would be once she learned that the NOL branch in Kagutsuchi was empty due to them...well actually their souls serving a much greater purpose as raw materials for the Azure Grimoire as it began to forge the ultimate weapon which he would use to destroy the Master Unit and then the world itself.
Though before that he really needed to find something to screw around with to relieve some of the pent up frustrations that he had. It wouldn't be proper for him to flip his shit before the finale could even begin.
