CHARACTERS: Rin Asano & Tyki Mikk.
CHARACTER NAME: Hidan
FANDOM: Naruto
CANON: After being blown up and buried in a pit by Shikamaru. Though he will arrive in one piece.
WHAT THEY LOST: He can no longer inform others about his god, Jashin, or the details of his religion. If he tries to talk about it, he'll just end up making silly "waa waa wee woo waa" noises until he stops trying. If he tries to write about it, he'll just write little hearts compulsively: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
ABOUT THE CHARACTER: Very little of this was actually covered in the manga proper; most of Hidan’s supposed history was released in the last databook and is not fleshed out particularly well. At any rate, he’s apparently from Yugakure, the Village Hidden in the Steam, which was a shinobi village before it changed focus and became a prosperous tourist destination. Hidan wasn’t too keen on this switch, apparently; he killed off a bunch of his fellow villagers and left… to be a missing-nin and kill shit. Some time after this, he apparently agreed to become an experimental subject of the Jashinist sect. Their goal was to give him immortality. He was one of the (few?) successful candidates to survive the process.
One can basically guess that between leaving Yugakure and joining Akatsuki, Hidan wandered the elemental countries enjoying carnage and building a reputation as an impressive killer. It’s anyone’s guess as to whether he joins willingly or is shanghaied into the group, but Hidan ends up partnered with Kakuzu and becomes the other half of the ‘Zombie combie’, as the immortal duo is known. It couldn’t be said that the two men get along swimmingly by any means, but they are excellent compliments to each other and have great teamwork. They probably bring a lot of money and bounties in to Akatsuki before their fateful assignment to Konoha, where their mission is to kill Sarutobi Asuma.
It’s not that they aren’t successful with that first part - oh, Asuma definitely ends up dead. Unfortunately, this incurs the wrath of Asuma’s lazy genius student Shikamaru, who wants revenge for the death of his teacher.
Separated from his partner, Hidan is a much less effective fighter, and Shikamaru basically toys with him for a while before tripping the trap he’d set up long before they actually had their fight: a spiderweb of exploding tags surrounds Hidan, and when Shikamaru triggers them Hidan is both blown into pieces and dropped into a deep pit, where he’ll remain until his immortality wears off and he dies, retrieved by the surviving Akatsuki members who certainly had the capability to pick him up.
Don't feel too bad for him though, because Hidan isn't exactly what you'd call a charmer. Abrasive, abusive, foul-mouthed and loud, he's a hard guy to tolerate even at the best of times. He's a zealot, a sadist, a masochist, and prone to challenging authority figures, blithely uncaring as to what the consequences might be. He’s also not the sharpest crayon in the box; he doesn’t think the consequences of his actions through, which gets him into plenty of trouble with his partner Kakuzu, as well as with his enemies.
It’s not like Hidan hates eeeeeeeeveryone, though. In spite of their fractious relationship, he didn’t hate his partner; after all, Kakuzu sewed him up after every battle, ensuring that he could be on his feet again and slaughtering heathens as soon as possible. Plus, even though Kakuzu was as cranky and as old as fuck, and always rushing Hidan through his all-important rituals, he was a good counterbalance to Hidan’s significant weaknesses and had no problem with Hidan’s bloodthirsty nature. They didn’t hate each other as much as they let on.
So, he is capable of actually liking people. It just won’t ever actually be expressed in a healthy way. He’ll still pick, prod and bully as much as ever, but he’d actually be pretty (secretly) delighted to find someone that didn’t give way in fear of him. What this comes out to is he might end up with “favorite victims” of a sort that he’ll seek out to pick on and torment without actually having any intent to kill them… at the moment. He loves prideful people and strong people and nagging, bullying and scaring them. He’s a sort of blackly playful creature, really; if he finds a playmate that suits him, it’s not as though he’s just going to waste that.
ABILITIES: Hidan is effectively immortal, although it was revealed in the last databook that if he stops killing other people, his immortality will disappear. At any rate, in the manga it’s shown that he can survive basically anything - having his head cut off, being blown to pieces, massive blood loss, sucking chest wounds, etc etc. His primary weapon is a tri-blade scythe designed to increase the likelihood of inflicting a wound upon his enemy. This is because the slightest wound is all Hidan needs to work his rituals. Once blood is drawn, he ingests it and inscribes his ritual circle on the ground. This allows his transformation into curse form, where every injury inflicted on Hidan’s body will be mirrored on the body of the person whose blood he ingested. In this situation he apparently prefers to use a pike to inflict wounds upon himself, as it is more precise. He enjoys the suffering he inflicts upon himself, and watching his victims suffer.
Besides this exceptional trait, he has the skills of any Naruto-verse ninja. His ninjutsu is excellent, as well as his taijutsu. His strength is great, as well as his stamina. However, Hidan’s a bit of a blockhead, and not invulnerable to a brainy enemy who knows how to deal with his tricks. More details can be found
on the Naruto wiki. THIRD-PERSON WRITING SAMPLE:
The whiny heathens bitching out of the journal had told him it wasn't Jashin who'd brought him here. And with some time to look around and study the lavish furnishings and comfortable surroundings, Hidan had to admit to himself that they were probably right. Plus, if his god was the one who'd spirited him out of the damp pit he'd been left to, he probably would have been able to say Jashin's name.
Or if it was heaven, everyone there would know who Jashin was already. Looked like he was alone in belief again. It didn't usually bother him at all - the way of Jashin was pretty exclusive - but alone in his room, the knowledge niggled and left Hidan a little perturbed. He was all in one piece, but then again, he'd failed to completely slaughter the scrawny brat who'd blown him up anyway. Maybe it wasn't good enough for Jashin, since Hidan had been defeated?
He moved across the room and sat on the bed, picking up his rosary's pendant in one hand and looking it over. He almost, almost wished Kakuzu was there: the old fucker probably would have had something to say, growled something about time being money so stop wasting it, but Hidan had paid little attention in the first place so he didn't dwell on it for long now.
The room was nice. Quiet. Jashin's heaven probably wouldn't be this quiet. After a moment, Hidan dropped his rosary, and it fell back against his chest.
He dug in his hip pouch next because there were more important things to do than doubt anyway. Doubt was a sin anyhow, a moment's wavering he had to make up for. His fingers found a kunai handle in a second. No ninja worth his salt wouldn't have a few spare kunai around on their person, and it seemed like he'd been lucky enough to arrive with one.
"Weoo, forgive me with this sacrifice," Hidan said, and then "Fuck." He couldn't even say his lord's name to himself? He gritted his teeth, drew the fine point of the blade across his chest, just for a start. He'd missed out on rituals. If he couldn't do the prayers right, he'd let out blood anyway.
FIRST-PERSON WRITING SAMPLE:
[First of all: this guy is LOUD. And he clearly doesn't know that the journal is recording yet. He's just talking to himself in surprise.]
Hey! What the fuck is this? [A little pause, as he looks around and takes in the beautiful room and furnishings.] Shit... looks nice. Hell of a lot better than that shitty pit, seriously. [...]
[Not quite as loud as usual, maybe. Being transported to a new place spontaneously doesn't happen every day. He has enough presence of mind to try the method for breaking a genjutsu before he gets too happy, though. But still... when it doesn't work...]
Hahaha! Fuck! This is it, huh? Heaven! Fuck, looks great - thank waa!
[A short pause. That was not what he meant to say. At all.]
... The hell?
INTENT: I would like to troll everyone and stir up some shit by letting Hidan be a dick to others! It's always interesting to see if he'll make friends, too. Hey, stranger things have happened...
