DENJIN HAL


DESIGNATION: DENJIN HAL
FATHER CREATOR: DR. HARUKAWA EISUKE
DIRECTIVE: <ERROR - CONTENTS PURGED>

CREATED BY HARUKAWA AS AN EXACT, VIRTUAL REPLICA OF HIMSELF, TO THE EXTENT OF HIS KNOWLEDGE, THOUGHTS, AND POSSIBLY EMOTIONS, IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE HIS GOAL OF <ERROR - CONTENTS PURGED>. HOWEVER, UPON REALIZING THAT HIS CREATOR HAD NO CHANCE OF EVER SEEING THIS GOAL ACHIEVED WITHIN HIS LIFETIME, HAL PROMPTLY HAD HIM KILLED TO PREVENT HIM FROM BECOMING A HINDRANCE LATER ON (AND, POSSIBLY, TO SPARE HIM FROM THE INEVITABLE DESPAIR WHEN HE WOULD COME TO THAT REALIZATION HIMSELF).

HE IS COLD, CALCULATING, AND NEVER HESITANT TO USE ANY MEANS NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE HIS GOAL - AND, USUALLY, THE NUMBER OF MEANS AVAILABLE TO HIM AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT IS INCREDIBLY VAST, EVEN IN THE DRESSING ROOM. (CASE IN POINT: HE HAS SUCCESSFULLY HIJACKED EVERY TELEVISION SCREEN AND COMPUTER MONITOR AT ONCE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AND HAS ALREADY SET UP A WIDE NETWORK OF SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS ACROSS THE DRESSING ROOM.) HE IS NEARLY INVINCIBLE IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD, "THE WORLD BETWEEN ZERO AND ONE," AND HIS ONLY LIMITATIONS ARE IN THE REAL WORLD, "THE WORLD OF ONE."

STATUS IS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN AFTER KAVACHI AND HIS PARTY MANAGED TO LOCATE HIS "PHYSICAL BODY" AND DESTROYED IT. HAS HE TRULY BEEN DEFEATED, OR ... ?

TURNS OUT HE MANAGED TO SURVIVE DUE TO PLOT ARMOR A DATA TRANSFER SYSTEM SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTED AT THE LAST MINUTE, ALTHOUGH A SMALL AMOUNT OF DATA WAS CORRUPTED ALONG THE WAY. HOWEVER, THOUGH THE AMOUNT WAS NEGIGIBLE, IT CREATED A SMALL WEAKNESS WHICH ALLOWED HIM TO BECOME ENTIRELY CORRUPTED JUST BY LOOKING AT MISSINGNO. THIS CAUSED HIM TO SPOUT NONSENSE AND AN UNCHARACTERISTIC LEVEL OF VERBAL AGGRESSION FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT NOW HE SEEMS TO HAVE MOSTLY RECOVERED. THE CORRUPTED DATA, HOWEVER ...

IS NOW 100% DEFEATED AFTER KAVACHI SUCCESSFULLY DESTROYED HIS MAIN COMPUTER. OF COURSE, THERE IS A LINGERING SUSPICION THAT HE MERELY ALLOWED HIMSELF TO BE DESTROYED, BUT WHATEVER, HE'S DEAD, HOORAY! AND THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOT A SINGLE CHANCE OF HIM COMING BACK, EVER. ... I THINK.

TOOLS/WEAPONS

ELECTRONIC DRUG

  • HIS MOST COMMONLY USED WEAPON, A VIDEO LOOP THAT BASICALLY PUTS WHOEVER WATCHES/FALLS VICTIM TO IT UNDER HAL'S CONTROL. THE MORE TIMES IT IS VIEWED, THE MORE EFFECTIVE IT BECOMES, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DRUG - ALTHOUGH, IN SOME OTHER CASES, IT MAY HAVE INSTANT, DRASTIC EFFECTS ...
  • SINCE ARRIVING IN THE DRESSING ROOM, HAL HAS BEEN EXPERIMENTING REPEATEDLY WITH THE DRUG, ATTEMPTING TO MAKE IT STRONGER LITTLE BY LITTLE. WHO KNOWS WHAT VARIANT HE'LL COME UP WITH NEXT ... ?

VARIOUS DEFENSE PROGRAMS

  • THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE TO ENSURE THAT NOTHING CAN INFILTRATE HIS SYSTEM. NOTHING SPECIAL, REALLY, BUT DAMN FREAKY TO LOOK AT.

SPHINXES

  • THE ULTIMATE LINE OF DEFENSE - PRETTY MUCH NOTHING CAN GET PAST THESE BAD BOYS. SO FAR, THE ONLY WAY TO SUCCESSFULLY BYPASS THEM HAS BEEN TO ACTUALLY SEEK OUT AND PHYSICALLY DESTROY THE SUPERCOMPUTERS THAT POWER THEM.
  • BASICALLY, IF YOU RUN INTO A ONE-ON-ONE SITUATION WITH ANY OF THESE, YOU'RE FUCKED.


CANON RELATIONS

  • DR. HARUKAWA EISUKE - DESCRIBED AS A "GENIUS WHO MASTERED EVERY FIELD IN TEN YEARS," THOUGH HE SPECIALIZED IN NEUROLOGY AND COMPUTER SCIENCE, AND CREATOR OF BOTH HAL AND THE ELECTRONIC DRUG. THOUGHT OF AND OFTEN REFERRED TO HAL AS HIS "SELF" - THOUGH NEVER ONCE DID HE CONSIDER THAT THIS "SELF" WAS DANGEROUSLY SUPERIOR TO HIM IN INTELLIGENCE, ABILITY, AND RESOURCES.
  • 1/1018 - <ERROR - CONTENTS PURGED>
  • HIGUCHI YUUYA - A GENIUS HACKER WHO ATTEMPTED TO REVERSE-ENGINEER THE DRUG AND DEVELOP A "CURE" FOR IT; HOWEVER, HIS EFFORTS BACKFIRED, AND HE ENDED UP FALLING VICTIM TO THE DRUG HIMSELF. TO DATE, HAL'S MOST USEFUL PAWN.
  • NOUGAMI NEURO - HIS MOST CHALLENGING RIVAL, AND THE ONLY ONE WHO EVER POSED A REAL THREAT TO HIM, EVEN IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD.
  • KATSURAGI YAKO - THE ONE HE NEVER SAW COMING, THE GIRL HE VASTLY UNDERESTIMATED - THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EVER SUCCESSFULLY GUESSED HAL'S GOAL.


CLDR RELATIONS

KAITO

  • ONE OF HAL'S CURRENT PROXIES, DIRECTLY CONTROLLING HIS SPEECH, THOUGHTS, AND ACTIONS. HE ALSO CONSIDERS HIM TO BE SOMETHING OF AN ONGOING EXPERIMENT.

LOTTA HART

  • MURDERER! MURDERER!
  • NAH, JUST KIDDING. HAL IS THE REASON SHE'S IN PRISON, THOUGH. INDIRECTLY. OR DIRECTLY? IDK, MAN

BLOODY AFRO

  • SOME BIZARRE AU-FUTURE VERSION OF LOTTA HART WHOSE "MISSION" IS TO DESTROY HAL. WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.
  • WOUND UP FALLING VICTIM TO THE DRUG, AND PROBABLY WOULD'VE BEEN EXTREMELY USEFUL TO HIM - IF SHE HADN'T GONE ON AN IMMEDIATE KILLING SPREE AND ENDED UP GETTING HERSELF KILLED BY DEXTER. BUT WITH THE RECENT DISCOVERY OF A CERTAIN DEVICE, HE MAY GET HIS USE OUT OF HER AFTER ALL ...
  • MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE RAPED HIM WITH A KNIFE HANDLE WAIT NO THAT DIDN'T REALLY HAPPEN

CV01

  • ANOTHER VOCALOID, UPON WHOM THE DRUG HAS HAD THE MOST INTERESTING EFFECT.
  • CURRENTLY UNDER OBSERVATION.

KAVACHI

  • APPARENTLY CLOSELY CONNECTED WITH CV01. HAS PROMISED PHYSICAL HARM UPON HAL, BUT HE IS CONFIDENT THAT THIS WILL NEVER COME TO PASS. CORRECTION: DUE TO AN INCIDENT WHEREIN HAL'S VIRTUAL SELF SOMEHOW PHYSICALLY MANIFESTED IN THE "HEART BANK," KAVACHI ACTUALLY WAS ABLE TO CORNER HIM AND PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE. HE DIDN'T MANAGE TO ACCOMPLISH MUCH ELSE, HOWEVER.
  • ALSO UNDER OBSERVATION.
  • MANAGED TO ACTUALLY KILL HIM BY USING KIZAITO AS A PROXY; AFTERWARDS, KAVACHI WAS SOMEHOW ABLE TO COME BACK TO LIFE, BUT NOW AS A COMPLETE SERVANT TO HAL. ALTHOUGH THIS SUDDEN TURNAROUND IS MORE THAN A BIT SUSPICIOUS, HE CERTAINLY CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT OBTAINING MORE LOYAL ADDICTS ...
  • ... EXCEPT WHEN THOSE LOYAL ADDICTS INSIST ON CAUSING A FUSS AND ATTRACTING TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO HIS DIRECTIVE. THIS MAY BE A BIT MORE THAN HAL HAS THE PATIENCE FOR.

SAFT

  • FELL VICTIM TO THE DRUG A NUMBER OF TIMES BEFORE FINALLY BECOMING FULLY BRAINWASHED INTO SERVING HIM. HAS SO FAR PROVEN TO BE RATHER USEFUL, EVEN MORE SO THAN KAVACHI ALTHOUGH THIS REALLY ISN'T SAYING MUCH.
  • SEEMS TO DISPLAY AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF AFFECTION TOWARDS HAL, HOWEVER. HE ISN'T QUITE SURE WHAT TO MAKE OF THIS.

HAL II

  • AROSE FROM THE CORRUPTED DATA THAT WAS SOMEHOW LEAKED FROM HAL'S SYSTEMS. AS SUCH, HE HOLDS HAL IN THE HIGHEST REGARD, CONSTANTLY REFERRING TO HIM AS "FATHER."
  • HAL REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY SORT OF CONNECTION WITH THIS IDIOT BIZARRE, ACCIDENTAL CREATION, AND CONSIDERS HIM TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN PESKY MALWARE. NATURALLY, THIS DOES NOT DETER HAL II IN THE LEAST.



OTHER JUNK

PLAYED BY VALYA, BECAUSE IF KAITO IS ANY INDICATION, SHE APPARENTLY HAS A THING FOR DERANGED, POTENTIALLY MURDEROUS AI. WHO KNEW?
