Summary

Hatano is an accomplished swordswoman from Neo-Tokyo. She is a Physical Adept. She is a mercenary by trade. A professional sword for hire through-and-through. Due to her past, she has no love for the Yakuza, and frequently works with the other Syndicates against them.

Goals

Hatano always seeks to become stronger. Both of body and spirit.

- She constantly seeks to improve her adept abilities. Her great inner strength is further augmented by her magical abilities.

- She wants to Learn more about Western society. She needs to have more experience dealing with people other than Yakuza members.

- Hatano studied swordsmanship at the school of Tenshin Shōden Katori Shintō-ryū. She learned her swordsmanship at the feet of the masters. But there is always room for improvement, and she strives for it.

Background

Hatano Mori was born in Neo-Tokyo to a Lieutenant of the Mita-gumi. Her father, the ruthless Ichijo Mori, was a member of great standing in the Clan. She was afforded many luxuries in life. Growing up as the only child of a Yakuza Lieutenant was very good for her. She went to the best schools, had the best things, was afforded the best opportunities. She knew that she would never take a role like her father's, but that didn't stop her from becoming an expert swordswoman. She learned her ways around the social structures of the criminal world, as well. By the time she was 20, she could out work, out think, and out fight almost all of her father's underlings.

Because of her father's standing, being a woman was not a hinderance. True, it would have been near impossible for her to reach the position her father was at, but that was not her destiny.

When she was a child, she began to experience her awakening. It was subtle. She struck harder, moved faster, and developed her skills quicker than other students.

When she was 22, her father was killed. He insulted the boss of a smaller clan, and they ambushed and killed him. They believed the structure and order of the Watada-rendo alliance would keep them safe. That the insult paid to their Oyabun was settled by the death of Ichijo. Hatano had other plans.

The next few days earned her the nickname "The Demon Mori". She, along with some of her father's closer friends, took vengeance into their own hands. The smaller clan was decimated. Their legacy was completely removed by a single woman's vengeance. It was during this time that her powers attracted the great spirit of War. It was that night her legacy of blood and death began.

Knowing that she could not stay in Tokyo after that, she travelled to America to become a soldier of fortune. She made a good name for herself. She also developed more of her awakened skills during this time. Her raw power was tempered into precise skills. She still very much relied on her own strength of body and will. She grew physically as well as magically.

Soon after leaving Neo-Tokyo she was contacted by someone who might help her on her path into the Shadows. The Huk boss Bautista is always looking out for potential assets. Someone such as Hatano, with a chip on her shoulder already, might prove useful. She has no more ties to Japan, and could care less what happens to it. So why not cause a little mayhem and chaos to those who wronged her?

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

Seer - Hatano is a Seer.

Explorer - Hatano is an awakened Explorer. Unlike some, she doesn't view the astral plane as a place to explore so much as an an avenue to defeat her enemies.

Lightning Reflexes - Hatano was born with reflexes like lightening.

She always felt a connection to something greater, especially after the night of her vengeance. It is soon after this she met the Stag. She learned that they embodied everything she holds dear, and chose to follow its ways in return for its strength.

Negative

SINner - Imperial Japanese State - A gift from her privileged upbringing.

Distinctive Style - A Beautiful Swordswoman who carries herself with the air of a Yakuza boss. Her dress is also always heavily influenced by Japan. Hatano also carries her sword with her everywhere she goes. This is a common custom in Neo-Tokyo, but may not be accepted in all Western establishments.

Code of Honor - Path of the Samurai - Honor, for all.

Did You Just Call Me Dumb? - Hatano is still used to having quite a bit of influence. She isn't used to people talking back to her and not getting her way.

Poor Self Control (Vindictive) - Her privileged upbringing left some old habits she can't seem to grow out of. She has a hard time handling insults.

-When she was a child, she began to experience her awakening. It was more subtle due to the nature of her powers. She began to feel things when people were around. Objects, too. It was very small at first, and slowly developed. She couldn't control it, and never brought it up to her father.

Their legacy was completely removed by a single woman's vengeance. It was during this time, her powers as a Dreamwalker fully emerged. Emotions are very powerful. They can bring out the best, or the worst in people. For Hatano it was the latter. The Clan she was fighting had a single mage. They killed many of Hatano's friends. As the mage and Hatano fought she realized she might lose. Through sheer force of will, she called upon her body and spirit to cut this man down. That was the first time she used Astral Combat, effectively destroying the mage's spirit. What she did not know was that when she summoned her own power, a great spirit also gave her a sliver of their power. She would learn this later when she formally meets the Stag.

She also developed her awakened skills during this time. She learned from others that what she felt was an effect of magic, and she learned about astral projection and the astral plane. Her raw power was tempered into precise skills. But she knew she wasn't a mage. Or an adept. She still very much relied on her own strength of body and will, not magical help, to succeed. Because of this, she views adepts, mystic adepts, and mages with some disdain and disrespect. She thinks they cheat to get ahead in life.
