Appearance[]
Reality[]
Hiroto's work outfit consists of a white dress-shirt with a red necktie, a black waistcoat, slim-fitting black pants, and red high-top sneakers; an occasional disposable face mask is worn at his discretion. He wears a thin grey hoodie with parallel red lines running down the sleeves, a black and red flannel jacket over that, black skinny jeans, and red high-tops as his casual outfit. In the summer, he swaps the hoodie and flannel for a black and red t-shirt with a dark red haori jacket featuring a hexagonal pattern that extends down to just above his knees. Other times, he swaps the flannel and haori while keeping the hoodie.
In-Game[]
Hiroto’s Mikaido avatar wears a black dress shirt; a black and red pinstripe necktie; a dark red waistcoat with six angular straps; grey combat joggers; black knee-high combat boots secured with silver straps; and his signature red coat. This coat features six clasps to enclose the upper half, three coattails with a black and red flame pattern, asymmetrical sleeve patterning, a hexagonal gear emblem on the left breast, and a hexagonal outline around the Kanji for Shura (修羅?) on the left sleeve. Hiroto also wears a necklace with a hexagonal pendant containing an emerald gem enshrined in a dark red alloy, usually kept tucked into his coat's inner pocket. His signature, defining trait is his gunmetal helmet, with a removable silver faceplate featuring a built-in angular visor and two red stripes running vertically down its surface. When equipping his Armor Model, this helmet quickly reconfigures into the Model's helmet.
Personality[]
Like his cousin, Hiroto is an introvert who ignores any rumors or gossip concerning him. Unlike Katsuo, Hiroto is borderline mute, speaking very bluntly and straightforward with no trace of his cousin's flirty nature. That hint of flirt only ever comes out around his close friend Ayame. Both Myoukouins share a love of music and anime, strong sense of justice and honor, dry and dark sense of humor, and generally relaxed nature. Throughout his youth, Hiroto was deeply introverted, almost completely isolating himself from society save for a small, close-knit group of friends. He lacks self-confidence, evident in the mask he wears to hide his face in-game and his very small pool of friends. Rather than branch out and make as many shallow friends as possible, Hiroto prefers his small group of highly trusted friends. Though he wanted to find love, he felt conflicted about complicating his friendships and burdening them with such feelings. Thus rose a duty to suppress his romantic feelings so they don't interfere with the status quo, fearing it could drive away his precious few friends. This self-imposed curse leads him to bottle up all his feelings and thoughts, shut off his emotions, and keep to himself rather than interject and appear rude. His direct and truncated sentences stem from not wanting to stumble over words; he'd rather just spit out his thoughts as they are than waste his breath finding the right words. This all culminates in the public persona everyone projects onto him: a silent demon driven by anger to kill anything and anyone in his path if given the right opportunity.
In repressing his own emotions, Hiroto became the no-nonsense, "hard-boiled" detective everyone claims him to be; the one who can make the toughest decision in a desperate situation. Time and time again, Hiroto has proven himself to be a trustworthy and reliable detective. His highly analytical and deductive mind works whether in a fight or at a crime scene, focusing on minute details others would often disregard for more obvious clues. Despite his unreadable exterior, Hiroto holds a great deal of empathy, sympathizing with clients and considering their perspectives as other people rather than a source of information or clues. Though not one to normally lose his cool when insulted, Hiroto will intervene if someone else talks bad about another person, even if he doesn’t know any of them. His retaliations can range from a minor insult or full-blown assault, depending on the situation.
He is quite the perfectionist, spending days building model kits to hone each and every fine detail to its peak. This offers a greater insight into other players' builds, as his keen eye tips him off to the quality and care of the model and what it can and cannot do. Hiroto holds a great disdain for using nanites and nanotechnology, viewing them as a shortcut to genuine hard work and effort. If used for supplementation, he doesn't mind. But Hiroto genuinely hates players who would exploit the use of nanotech as a simple justification for absurdly powerful technology or equipment, and takes it upon himself to properly punish those who abuse. Willing to sacrifice his ability to use most standard healing or support items, Hiroto has built his armor with anti-nanotech use in mind, to show them what happens when they lean on a crutch for too long. Furthermore, this encourages Hiroto to be more creative and find interesting solutions for the problems at hand.
Background[]
Hiroto was born and raised to his loving parents. Even from a young age, he always had trouble making friends, which worried his parents. He spent a lot of time with his cousin Katsuo, whom he took a lot of influence from. As Hiroto grew up, he began to open up ever so slightly, forming a small group of people he could call his friends. However, his friends started moving away or stopped talking to him for various reasons, leading Hiroto to close himself off again. He found solace in building model kits and video games, inviting one of his few remaining childhood friends to join in his hobbies. To support his hobby, Hiroto took up a job at a popular nearby cafe, working hard to make the perfect cup of coffee for his customers. Just as he was getting really into VRMMOs and model kits, the reveal of Armored Nexus Online piqued his interest. He followed the game’s pre-release content obsessively, awaiting the day when he could show off his Armor Model and play the game. When ANO launched, Hiroto was among the first few thousand players to immediately log in, having spent months perfecting his Armor Model and the lore he’d put behind it. Following this, Hiroto decided he'd take up a job at one of ANO's Nexus Cafes, seeing no detriments there. He'd have constant access to the game, and he'd be able to print out his equipment to build during his work breaks while happily serving fellow players and model kit enthusiasts. During his early days in ANO, he became a detective for Legionnaire Law Enforcement, but the "Asura's Wrath" incident ousted him from the Corps and branded him with his fearsome "Asura" persona. Henceforth, he acts as the Astray Detective, the private investigator to turn to when the Legionnaires fail.

Hiroto is a master builder and a skilled warrior. Influenced by Gundams and Tokusatsu shows, Hiroto created his unique MC-016A "Mikoto Astray" Armor Model with versatility and high performance in mind. Its Mikoto System emphasizes modular combat, equipping separate Core Module loadouts to suit the current situation. Even without its wide arsenal, the Mikoto Astray is a formidable force, reflected in its incredible STATUS rankings and coupled with Hiroto's detective prowess. He takes an initially defensive and cautious stance, probing his opponent and gathering intel. Once he's gathered sufficient data, he unleashes a swift and decisive counterattack with his Astray Blade katana. With a carefully calculated Iaido style, Hiroto cuts down all threats in his path. If he determines that his basic Astray configuration is insufficient, he'll switch to an alternate Mikoto Core and adapt to the situation, whether by creating distance to unleash a long-range assault or using high mobility for a rapid hit-and-run barrage. If even his other Mikoto Cores aren't suitable, Hiroto ceases to care for his own wellbeing and powers through anything thrown at him until the threat is eliminated. Be it a powerful beam, an unfathomably sharp edge, nothing fazes the Asura as he charges on with reckless abandon, especially once his Astray Burst kicks in. Empowered by his suit's overflowing energy, Hiroto embodies the mythological being who seeks power and fights without restraint, a bloodthirsty demon with a fickle temper. Those who know the Asura fear and respect his skills, propagating the rumor that he's an unstable sociopath who may lash out at anyone, anytime, anywhere.
Hiroto's disapproval of nanite and other nanotechnologies forms the fundamental core of his Armor Model's lore. At the heart of his Mikoto Astray is ZN Energy (
As previously mentioned, Hiroto is highly renowned as a detective. His perception is keen, and his atypical train of thought leads to a new, often correct, conclusion on the crime he's investigating. Even from the tiniest scrap of a clue, Hiroto can quickly formulate a plan of attack, intuit an opponent's weakness, or establish a criminal's motives. While his lack of communication and lone wolf approach are often criticized, none ever argue with his results. Even with his tarnished reputation as a mindless demon, the Astray Detective is effective and efficient.
Music Themes[]
Trivia[]
- Hiroto is inspired by and named after Hiroto Kuga, the protagonist of Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE.
- In-game, he smokes incense cigarettes, which do not contain any harmful/addictive contents and give off a pleasant, coffee aroma. However, he only smokes when no one is around to see him remove his mask or when his closest friends are around. IRL, he substitutes the cigarette with a toothpick or lollipop.
- His username is based on the naming scheme of the Brilliant Detectives of ID: Invaded, mixing the "ido" found in each Detective's name with the "Mikoto" he used in his Armor Models.
- His catchphrase is from Kamen Rider W, though he performs the Omega Scope gesture from Ultraman Omega instead of the accompanying wrist flick and finger point.
- Hiroto is a big fan of jazz and MIYAVI, often playing the Samurai Sessions albums in his office during his downtime. A selection of the tunes he listens to in his office is listed under "Office Vibes" in his music themes section. The soundtrack for both seasons of Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt are among the many songs he has playing in his office.
- Hiroto's necklace authorizes the Mikoto Astray's deployment when he's not in the armor.
- Like almost all of my protagonists, Hiroto drives a motorcycle. His real-life bike is a Honda Shadow Phantom customized to resemble the Battle Hopper seen in Kamen Rider Black Sun, albeit in a faded red color scheme. His in-game bike is based on the Gigantic Arms 06 Rapid Raider in black and red, with custom decals and panel lining as well as more clear red parts throughout the inner frame that glow when the bike is active. This in-game bike features abilities seen in the Shin Kamen Rider Cyclone, such as autonomous driving capabilities and transformation into a high-speed combat state when Hiroto equips his armor.
- Like most of my protagonists, Hiroto uses the personal pronoun (僕, Boku?).
- Hiroto has a pet Netherland Dwarf rabbit named Io.
- The 016 designation in his Armor Models is Goroawase for his name. "Hi" can be read as 1, "Ro" as 6, and "to" as 10, which he truncated to 016.
