Champions Characters

Weaponmaster

Name: Hiro Anderson
Height: 5′ 10″
Weight: 175 lbs.
Age: 23
Sex: Male
Race: Mixed Oriental/Caucasian

Description: Born of a Caucasian father and Eurasian mother, Hiro retains features of both lineages: his dark black hair is wavy, which is why he wears it cut short, and his hazel eyes are slightly slanted. He generally dresses in black sweatshirts, blue jeans and combat boots.

Background: Hiro is a part-time history student at a local college, a part-time janitor at a local shopping mall, and a part-time student of the martial arts. He lives in a small room in the back of the dojo where he trains: the sensei, Oba, permits him to sleep there in return for cleaning the dojo weekly. The dojo is named (in English) “The Temple of Harmonious Fists” and is located in Chinatown area of Chicago. Hiro’s family originally lived in Chicago, but his father and mother moved to Los Angeles to live with their oldest daughter and her family. Hiro declined to move with them and stayed in Chicago for unknown (even to himself) personal reasons.

Personality: Hiro has no goals in life, and is content to drift.

Powers: Hiro possesses the power of an action-hero martial artist who can transform even the most innocent object into a weapon.

Tag Phrase: “A samurai who is in harmony with his surroundings is never without a defense or a weapon” is one of the many sayings Oba has impressed onto the complacent Hiro.

Note: Oba, his sensei, is a wizened little prune of a man, with wrinkled features always surrounding a bright smile. He is resolutely (and infuriatingly) cheerful at all times. Oba is known to be a master of several forms of kung fu and demonstrates a vast knowledge of a wide variety of Oriental martial art forms; he also maintains a display at the dojo of a large collection of martial arts weapons that he forbids any student from touching.
