IC INFO:
Character name: Hino Eiji
Fandom: Kamen Rider OOO
Age: 21ish?
Appearance: Herp de derp.
Canon point: At the end of episode 34
Cause of Death: Ankh didn’t save him when the PuToTyra combo went out of control and he ended up destroying himself inside out from the power of the PuToTyra combo.

Abilities: Hi I am a link! That link shows all the powers/abilities and such from his superhero outfit thing, OOO (pronounced ohz). Yet, other than turning into that to fight monsters, there's other things such as his ability to trust others easily -- though that could also be a weakness -- and his ability to say the right thing at the right time. Sometimes, even when his statements are off the wall silly (talking about life and death to someone, suddenly bringing up underwear) it still... somewhat helps out the person. Later on his metaphors are thought over again and appreciated for the message they give. It's a weird knack of his really.

... But mostly he is just a normal human guy.

Background: Herpin' the derp
Personality: Meet Hino Eiji, the derpiest sunvabitch you'll ever meet. With a fascination for underwear, a smile on his face, and an offer to help you out -- he's the epitome of a good guy. Just living to see people smile, he enjoys what he does and how he lives.

And it's true! Eiji is a good guy. This is drilled into your head over and over throughout the show. He's "selfless" -- which, while true in some respects, does not define his character. His mantra of just doing what he can for what's in reach -- if a person is in trouble, he will help them, but he cannot save the world -- shows this really. He is not 100% selfless, he is selfless when he needs to be, when it saves him the guilt. The guilt that plagues him every day and causes his smiles to be fake and his optimism to be stale.

He's empty inside. The reason for this? He was caught in the middle of a civil war. In fact, he might have been the cause of a civil war in which many many many were injured and/or killed. The son of a politician, he stumbled into territory he wasn't supposed to go and caused damage just by being there. Though, really, he was just there because he wanted to help. He helped as best as he could yet... being the son of a powerful man has it's disadvantages. He was escorted away -- "rescued" via helicopter while the others were left to die. He couldn't save them and it was his fault people died.

He's been hollow ever since. No wishes, no wants, no desires and in a world fueled by them, it's important to have some. He's empty which makes him the perfect vessel that changes into the hero who fights monsters created by desire. Ironic? Possibly. Sad? Definitely.

Despite that, the image he shows everyone is of one man who just does his best. Which is him! He is a guy who is trying his best, who will do what he can when he can do it, no matter what. A character in the show actually once realized how Eiji is the type who holds out his hand for everyone but nobody holds out a hand for him. Yet, he's not bitter because of it. Not angry or sad or anything negative. He just does his best, he saves who he can, he does what he can... he exists but doesn't live basically.

He smiles though. He is happy despite that, in an ... odd sort of way. He is satisfied by doing his best, and it keeps him happy. If he can help one person a day, maybe he is worth a bit more than nothing, y'know? He presents the image of a man who may not have it altogether but is content. A traveler who doesn't have a family (or is, at least, not in contact with them). A vagabond who never settles down, a man who is living his life for himself, a curious boy with a warm smile and heart.

Which! Again, he is that -- just... not. It's weird. He is two sides to the same coin and keeps himself heads up. It's either that or be drowned in his guilt and... selfishly, perhaps, he thinks it's worth it.

Nevertheless, he does have his moments of... stupidity, to put it simply. In his relationship with Ankh, most especially, he tends to disregard the other man's words continuously -- ignore his wants and likes and fears on his mission to help whoever. This shows Eiji's own faults, his own blindsided views. He views Ankh as a "bad person" -- as a person who is evil so therefore has no rights. This is not necessarily true, but because he rules Ankh off as bad, he disregards his feelings most of the time. It ends up with him sometimes being quite late on things or resolving issues with lingering resentment from Ankh.

Their relationship especially is an odd one. Both can trust each other to not trust the other, if you understand. It's a weird sort of relationship but it works for them. This also really shows Eiji's ability to be... honest, perhaps. He's most honest in the show with Ankh because of their silent promise to double cross each other. Eiji has said multiple times that he is using Ankh and Ankh is using him. He realizes this yet still continues on with helping Ankh -- who is a Greeed -- find medals to restore his body.

Yet... that's also a tricky situation since Eiji realizes over the course of the show that maybe there is more to the medals -- to the whole situation that he is in than just collecting the medals. Yet, he continues to do so -- blindly -- because of his drive, of his need to help people to make him feel less guilty. That is where he is using Ankh. He is using his power to help people despite not knowing the consequences for using it. He views any consequences that happen to him -- to his body, to his mind -- as inconsequential because of the guilt he feels. It's a continuous cycle of trying to alleviate his guilt by saving people but then by saving people he causes more damage (in the form of the Greeed wanting to become stronger) and then it means he has to save more people again. Eiji is kind of addicted to saving people, a hero complex, but again, it's not because he's a good guy -- it's because he feels guilty for leaving the civil war and leaving the people to die when it was his fault it started.

To summarize, Eiji is a good guy but he is also not. He's a hypocrite and selfish and even perhaps, blind to the feelings of people around him all because of his own selfish desire to help people. Yet it's such a hollow desire, one fueled by guilt that it isn't really a desire at all. He's just a man who puts on a facade every day to say he's happy when he's really dead inside. It's sad, but it's true. The only thing that keeps him going these days is the guilt inside of him

1st Person Sample:

Well, this is kind of neat! I’ve never been to a city like this before and I’m really grateful for the chance to visit. I’ve been to a lot of places in my life and this place is certainly something special. Igura, right? That’s a nice name too.

Ah! So I was wondering, everyone here is from a different world, right? I wanted to learn a bit more about them. I’m a traveler, you see, so I go to a lot of different places and I just want to know about the places you’re from. The type of plants there, the type of people, the type of underwear there too! Especially the underwear, I’d love to hear anything you all had to say.

- Eiji

IC Character Survey:

1. Do you have any nicknames, street names, titles, or aliases?
Ah, well, “Kamen Rider OOO” is kind of a title for the thing I transform into to fight, but other than that I’m simply Hino Eiji.

2. What is your full birth name?
Hino Eiji.

3. Where do you live?
Uhm, all over? I guess? Mostly wherever I go the next night. I don’t really have a “home” since I travel a lot. I’m kind of a drifter.

4. Give a two or three word description of yourself.
A-ah? Maybe uh... “Freshly Laundered Underwear”.

5. What do you perceive as your greatest strength?
. . . I’m not sure actually. My ability to help people, maybe? Is that a strength?

6. What do you perceive as your greatest weakness?
I’m not really good at love stuff, I guess.

7. Do you have any dreams or ambitions? What are they? If not, why?
… Can we skip this question?

8. How would you like to be remembered after your death?
I don’t want to be.

9. If your features were to be destroyed beyond recognition, is there any other way of identifying your body?
My underpants?

12. Do you trust easily (perhaps too easily) or not?
… Yeah, I do.

T-these questions are kind of personal, aren’t they?

14. What habits would you find most annoying in friends?
Uhm, selfishness.

15. How do others typically react to you? Why, in your opinion, do they act that way?
I don’t really get the question. Are people supposed to act weirdly when they meet me?

16. Do you like food mild or heavily spiced?
Spicy!

17. Are there any specific foodstuffs that you find disgusting or refuse to eat?
I dunno, but the American stuff is kind of weird.
