Character Information

Summary

Hatano is an accomplished swordswoman from Neo-Tokyo. She is also a Dreamwalker. Her specialties involve fighting astral entities, and socializing at high-class events. She has always had a knack for dealing with people, and has great natural charisma.

Goals

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

She wants to explore the metaplanes and make a name for herself among the spirits and entities that dwell there.

She wants to make a name for herself in Seattle. She would like to make contacts among the Yakuza Clans in the city, but has a hard time knowing where to start. She plans to enlist Kensei-Sensei's help here from time to time.

Background

Hatano Mori was born in Neo-Tokyo to a Shategashira 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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

Recently, she has been posting on the Shadowhaven BBS, trying to step her feet into the world of Shadowrunning.
