Background
Seiichi Hatanaka was born into a wealthy family in Toyko, Japan. His father was a well-established businessman who had little involvement in his son’s upbringing, which was left to his stay-at-home mother. His early childhood was largely uninteresting and uneventful and left him isolated from most social interactions with other children due to his mother’s desire to shelter him for as long as she could. As he aged, it became apparent that the sheltered lifestyle was not for him. He took after his father, and desperately craved what he had been deprived of.
With reluctance, Seiichi’s mother enrolled him in a private school. He turned out to be an incredibly bright student that excelled in academics, namely math and its various branches. He proved to be a very sociable child as well and quickly made lots of friends.
As he continued to grow, so did the psychopathic tendencies that he had apparently inherited from his father. Of these tendencies, nothing was more apparent than his inclinations toward manipulation. After a minor, childish betrayal between friends, he began to learn how certain methods of manipulation worked on certain personality types. This friend, in particular, responded best with violence, and Seiichi obliged. Throughout his time in school, Seiichi’s ability to manipulate benefited him greatly, and secured him a certain net of safety.
He took a liking to video games in his teenage years, namely MMOs and RPGs, where his manipulative nature could be utilized fully. He founded and organized large guilds simply because he enjoyed the aspects of controlling groups of people, which is also where he learned a lot about group organization and how to ensure loyalty and service.
As was typical of him, he grew bored of the simplistic nature of the games available to him. His interest was revitalized upon hearing the announcement of the NerveGear and Sword Art Online. Seiichi found it to be an entirely new challenge to undertake and he, with the help of his father’s wealth, jumped on the opportunity.
Personality
Virtues
Charismatic
Whatever claims one might lay upon Seiichi’s character, there is an undeniable charm to the way he carries himself. Born with a tongue as silver as the spoon in his mouth, Seiichi is accustomed to getting his way simply with words. They might be threats, implications, or simple charm, but he always gets his way in the end.
Ambitious
Seiichi is a real go-getter. Having been taught from a young age to take what he wants, he certainly has no qualms about working for it. In his youth, he was often described to be an incessant dreamer with an insatiable hunger for achieving the unachievable. While he may have mellowed out upon progressing into adulthood, remnants of this aspect of his personality remain to help him along his way.
Honest
Miraculously, Seiichi is not a liar. He prides himself on his honesty and, to a degree, his fairness. If he says he’ll do something, he’ll do it. Of course, that doesn’t mean that all of the promises he makes are completely paragon. A person should simply expect for him to follow through on his word. His honesty often conflicts with his tactfulness, forcing him to prioritize whichever he deems to be more important.
Vices
Manipulative
In the art of manipulation, Seiichi’s skill is unrivaled. His resourcefulness, attention to empathy and detail, lack of adversity toward violence and establishing dominance, as well as his natural leadership skills all lend themselves well to manipulating those around him to his benefit. Some might even go as far as to define his behavior as cruel or borderline psychopathic, yet whatever cruelty he might show is carefully calculated.
Selfish
At the end of the day, regardless of whatever promises he might give, Seiichi is in it for himself. He has one goal: to survive. When one sees selfishness, they might equate it to greed, which isn’t true in Seiichi’s case. He is surprisingly generous, especially to those in his inner circle, if only to ensure loyalty. There’s nobody that pays better, after all.
Violent
Seiichi has deep-rooted tendencies for violence. Age has aided him in keeping those tendencies under control, or at the very least to a calculated degree for the most part, but this innate factor of his personality will often shine through. He is not, however, cruel simply for the sake of being so. His cruelty is meticulously premeditated and never enacted without purpose.
