Junji Hitsugaya

"There's two types of people in this world: the people who want to charge headfirst into a firefight, and the people who want to hang back and snipe away. What I'm saying is, there's fun people, and there's boring people. And I'm one of the fun people!"

- Junji Hitsugaya

Junji Hitsugaya is a Human player in End War Online, set to appear in End War Online: United Souls. He leads Obsidian Integrity Contractors, a PMC that advertises itself as a rival PMC to Crimson Rain Services despite the latter not considering itself a PMC among many things.

Real Life
Junji's parents divorced when he was only 4. He would bounce around from parent to parent, seeing his father remarry and settle down with a new wife who had a child from a previous marriage while his mother couldn't find someone she wanted to stay with. Eventually, his mother fell into some heavy debt, leading Junji's father to support his ex-wife with monthly payments while his new wife cared for Junji and his younger step-sister Yuko. The two of them grew up closely, spending lots of time with one another as social butterflies. Junji would garner himself a popular reputation by being the loud, outgoing kid while Yuko became the easy-going, compassionate girl anyone could talk to. When they reached high school, they would learn of End War Online from classmates. They worked several part-time jobs to afford buying their own copies of the game and hardware with their own money. Upon joining the game, Junji began training with several professional in-game mercenaries and bounty hunters, learning how to fight and work his own mercenary business. He would eventually encounter Tokime Suginami in-game when looking for someone who could modify his guns. Smitten by her beauty and flirtatiousness, Junji began visiting her shop solely just to chat with her, meeting Sento Kasai and Haru Yamamoto through one of his visits. Upon seeing how Tokime and Sento interacted and hearing hearing that Sento ran a mercenary business, he decided then and there that he would become a legendary rival to the Crimson Mercenary, much to everyone's confusion.

Personality
Junji is a loud, boisterous individual who likes to brag and boast about his own accomplishments. He's a cocky son of a gun itching to jump into battle with a gunshot and boisterous laugh, sliding around the battlefield and screaming bloody murder while causing bloody murders. Junji has a strange habit of slapping his friends' backs in a joking, non-violent manner, though some of these slaps earn a slap to the face when he attempts it on some of his female friends. All of this is in good sporting fun, never meant with bad intentions. A wise-cracker at heart, Junji loves to throw jokes and taunts around the battlefield, mostly to deter himself from thinking about the deaths he brings. When he sees someone he likes, he gets real cheeky and flirty, teasing side to him. He's got plenty of lecherous comments, and he often scares girls off more than he does pull them in, but he does end up apologizing for it sooner rather than later. Even though he's a roaring jokester, Junji knows when to shut his trap, immediately reading the emotion in the room and showing his respects as needed. Whenever he goes on stealth/infiltration contracts, he goes into a zero-chatter mode where he's focused solely on the goal and ignores almost anything in the way of the objective, except for a fine lady in the way. He also holds an extreme disdain for hurting ladies and children, whether it be someone else's actions hurting them or Junji himself forced to hit a girl or young child.

End War Online

 * Faction - Human - Human
 * Occupation - Obsidian Integrity Contractors' Founder/Field Operative
 * Main Equipment:
 * Midnight Fury
 * High Noon
 * Sekiro

Junji's fighting style can be described only as wild and rambunctious, just like his personality. His hand-to-hand combat is an unrefined string of slow, hard-hitting punches and kicks that could be very easily countered. However, there's a very brutal edge to all of these attacks, as if each strike is meant to hit hard enough to deal lethal damage as quick as possible. He tries to shatter bones with just his punches, but he always ends up beating people to death with Sekiro, his trusty katana sheathed in a walking cane. Just the cane alone is enough for him to beat the absolute shit out of anyone he fights, channeling his slow, brutal, and hard-hitting strikes along the length of the cane. On the rare occasions he has to unsheathe the weapon, he switches to a much faster fighting style where he quickly hacks and slashes his way through hordes of incoming threats.

Junji's trusty sidearms are the Midnight Fury pistols, a pair of Steyr M9-A1 customized by Tokime Suginami for rapid-fire and fitted with integrated brass knuckles. He alternates his punches with shots from the guns, using the brass knuckles added to the weapons to augment his already-powerful punches with spikes. Each punch is met with either a bullet from the guns, or a follow-up punch that leads into the bullet. His revolver High Noon is reserved for either breaching locks or for instantly executing someone, as the weapon is loaded with a high-power, armor-piercing round that can easily obliterate a single target or breach the strongest of locks. Junji has no real training in Soulcraft, and has no desire to learn it.

Trivia

 * Junji's outfit is inspired by John Wick.
 * His revolver is indeed a reference to McCree's line from Overwatch. His Katana is also a reference to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
