Takara Hikaru's Questionnaire

I live in Tokyo, Japan! I have this basement room under the apartments only because I cleared out the curse in here. It’s really cramped and to be honest. Not a lot is in here but my mattress and that rope light. He’s always dark and damp in here whenever I come in, it’s probably because there’s not enough ventilation. But yeah, this is the place I call home, I’m glad that it doesn’t cost much to keep, just power, water, electricity, trash, etc etc. The only gripe I have about it, the rats keep getting into my damn alcohol! They’re probably getting so drunk. I would have loved to see it. 

At the moment the only way I get my money is from BOO contract work. A take out a little curse, they give me money. One day I hope to be the figurehead of it all, and my own shadow government. It would also be nice to get a bigger place. Without the rats. Oh what do I spend my money on? Well, not much, I keep most of it just incase, but just the essentials, food, shelter, clothes, alcohol. Things that everyone needs. Anyway I really don’t understand why the don’t just keep the strongest in charge it would be a lot better that way. 

When I had been given the power of Blast n Brew. I was out grocery shopping for me and the girlfriend, she told me not to be late otherwise she would've broken up with me. I was taking my usual back-alley shortcut but then I heard a scream. A scream in the direction of home. I ran as fast as I could and I didn't make it there in time. She had been eaten by a curse. Out of desperation I threw a bottle I thought would just hopefully do something. It did. It exploded my entire apartment and the curse who had just eaten my girlfriend. I was taken by BOO agents and was registered as a sorcerer. 

As a sorcerer, if I have anyone close to me they'll likely perish. The few I have had close to me is, the person who taught me everything I know about sorcery, my ex girlfriend who is dead right now. And most of all, the curse I had killed that forced me into this world of sorcery. If I hadn't come across that curse my whole life would've been different. Much less fun and interesting. Way safer too. But I wouldn't have found my dream occupation and had the feeling of being able to change the world. Thanks to the harbinger I wouldn't have come across these contracts, and jobs where I need to risk my life top fulfill my purpose as a sorcerer. I wouldn't have found the associates I know now and I wouldn't have been able to find a reason to live. Sorcery is much better than anything else in this world. I will make the world know it too.

My childhood was very normal. I went to school, me and my family weren't close. My dad was a physician, and my mom a nurse. They never had any time to come home with all the paranormal activity going around. When I was 18 I eventually moved out to pursue a bartending career in shinjuku. Probably the best decision I made. School was alright, I made friends with people but like all school relationships they don't last long. When I was younger I had made friends by talking to them, for some reason just by talking to them I was making easy friends. They didn't last. A week or two would go by and they would forget about me. I was also not the most athletic person, so sports were out of the question. In highschool I had just given up on making friends, eventually I know I would make some in the workplace, then that incident happened in the apartment at the end of my senior year.

Love? Maybe, With someone? No, not that I can think of. The gravity of my work doesn't allow me to meet significant others often. The one thing I can confidently say I love is, exorcising curses. It sounds cliche for a sorcerer to say that. But it's true, saving people from the same thing that made my life better? I can't afford to lose anyone on the job. Nor will I ever be able to. I love the attention from the media, and I love the business it brings to the bar. I also truthfully love my organization. Anything that happens to it will meet its end. I will not stop until I get whats right.

If I were going somewhere special huh? Well, I would usually put on my suit and tie. Tie my hair up. Put on some foundation. You know, to clear up the skin. And then I'm ready. I grab my bottles and my suitcase and then I am able to wait. This one time for my moms wedding, I hadn't known how to tie a tie so my mother had to mess her dress up to tie my tie and it was a huge mess. It usually takes me about 30 minutes to an hour to prepare. You know, I gotta shower, brush my teeth, make sure my clothes are washed and dry. Whether I wanted to or not it became a habit. My mom always wanted me to dress nice. She would always sacrifice her money to get me new clothes and I usually loved them. My dad wasn't around much, I remember faint traces of his face but not that much.

For my next birthday I might treat myself to some old sake I have saved. I always loved drinking on birthdays. It just reminds me so much of my childhood. When me and my friends celebrated our birthdays, we would grab some food from a 7-11 near our house and some sake, and we would drink till sunrise. Talking about games we were playing, girls we like, how much we hated our english teacher. Then we would just all go home and act like nothing had happened the next day. We go out for drinks occasionally but it's still a fun thing we like to do together.

Takara Hikaru, 

My greatest regret? I believe my biggest regret is something that is out of my control. It was that I didn't start these contracts sooner. I had always known I wanted to change the world in some way but I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to accomplish that feat by myself. I have now met some great supernatural friends from completing these said contracts. I have started an organization that is trying to accomplish what should've been done ages ago. I have started making steps towards making it an international organization with no discrimination. If I had started a bit sooner, all of this would've been done and I would've maybe had the world in my hands. I mean, I just need to keep getting stronger, then no one will be able to oppose me and tell me where I can kill/exorcise curses. 

The nature of my gifts probably comes from my job. I loved bartending. You can see the best, worst and ugliest in people. You can see people downing out their sorrows and people making jokes and laughing with friends. It just had such a huge contrast in environments and I love it. It's how the world should be. The weak stay behind the strong. If I were to have kids, I think they would inherent my gifts. If their father is strong so will they be. My father was a strong man. He was supernatural. He had nothing like my powers though, just a few key differences, but a lot of similarities too. We both had a power to blow shit up, and he was also really good at talking to people. I think that's where I get it from. And no, harbingers don't just grant your wishes. If it were that easy, I'd have wished for the world to be mine already.

Spirits aren't even a question. I have to fight them on a day to day basis. Religious though? Maybe not so much. I believe that everyone deserves to survive and live out their full life. Maybe less so non-cursed users. Spirituality is a common misconception between ghosts and spirits, spirits and curses are real. ghosts are a used term for those two. Usually what ends up happening is I get to the scene, I have to explain to the police that it is indeed not a ghost, and it is a curse or spirit. They have very different things. I fight curses not ghosts. I'm not a ghostbuster. Curses, usually take hold of hosts and make all different kinds of forms. sometimes, if they're strong enough they take on a physical form and can possess the host and cause havoc to the world. That's what I'm here to stop. The laws for sorcerers is dumb and anyone should dispatch them at any time.

My worldview stays unchanged within the realms of how I was before and after contracts. I still believe the world needs a change and a true leader. I believe that the strongest should rule the world. I have always thought this until I met someone who was small and frail. I thought she couldn't do a thing for us. Turns out. She single-handedly took out the objective, and got us the win. She also helped us by flying around and distracting the guards and luring the away from me and another contractor while we were getting sniped and our locations revealed. A tiny weak fairy had saved us from being shot on the spot. So maybe the small can be strong. What that fairy did really threw me off. I had agreed to help her with a fellow in need of a hand (literally) and we had met up under the bridge. I gave her my card and she said she would join me later.
