Henry Hawthorne "The Consort to a goddess

[Mysticsage]

ORIGIN STORY

In a nutshell, Henry "HIro"  Hawthorne was an average highschooler from freedom city on a trip to japan with his parents on a trip to map the countries spiritual history and rediscover lost secrets. In the process, something happened in the ruins of a forgotten temple. (Evil released government agents etc yet to decide and open to whatever ideas.) His parents die and he is mortally wounded and bleeding out stuck under a huge wooden beam as fire licked around him like a pack of wolves.

However, in those last moments, the teen comes face to face with a women appearing out of the mist and smoke dressed like a princess from when the temple was alive and flourishing. She glowed with an unnatural aura but it was less her supernatural beauty then what she said that surprised him. She claimed that he was going to die here his fate sealed to turn to ash if things stayed as they were. That was when she made her offer claiming to be a minor goddess who was also forgotten by time and risking disappearing with the destruction of the last source of faith she had, but there was a way for both of them to survive. She could use the last of her power to save him make his body better then whole all he had to do was become her vessel a fresh source of devotion that she could use to see the new world and begin building her legend once again.

She didn't go into much detail over the proccess at the time, but for Hiro it didn't matter he was feeling his life force slipping away as the shroud of death got ever closer and he would have done anything in that moment to stop it. He should have thought what that could mean for his life if he agreed. Because while her power did heal him and give him the power to escape there was more then one side affect. He know had a new permant house guest in his head who followed him home like a dog on a leash. His own personal haunting that was invisible to the rest of the world and able to touch him. It doesn't help that she has the attitude of a goddess at times purposefully messing with him for the sake of her own amusement. Her influence on him has also begun affecting him physically changing making him taller and larger. Not capable of eating overly processed food, the kind of clothes she will allow him to wear. She got obsessed with all kind of modern day fashion. Due to their deal, he was no right to refuse her though she has yet to do anything overly cruel. And there is something about her that Hiro has to admit is alluring attractive and she can be kind when all the cards are played needing him more then he needs her. Though its hard to tell whether that attraction is natural or a result of the pact

What's worse is the deal got him a part-time job of evil spirit hunter as their deal made him sensitive to the spirit world and his soul made him a tasty target. Put it all together and his life has been far from normal as a result his uncle brought him to a school for supers hoping there that they could understand and help him deal with what he was going through. Starting tenth grade at a new school is hard, starting a new school with a bunch of horemone crazed supers that could be more then deadly


POWERS & TRAITS

Details to come.  He's a faith-based hero the closer the relationship between him and his hime the more powerful the pair are. So his power set is mostly like a traditional D&D paladin divine smites, healing and the like mixed with the Japanese faith philosophy  with wards and sutras. His favored weapon is a wooden katana

Current ideas include:

• Divine Strike:  Takes whatever weapon he is using and imbues it with divine force increasing the damage to +1 on damage track can affect insubstantial or necrotic beings
  
• Divine Ward:  Sutra that wards and protects a space to stop evil from entering any evil category creature cannot cross the barrier without
  
• Healing of Faith.:  Minor healing able to downgrade worst damage condition by one in other people
  
• Kiss of the princess:  Low rating in Regeneration.
  
• Unnatural athlete:  +5 five to athletics and acrobatics due to how the princess has reshaped his body
  
• Divine Beauty: +5 to anything where his looks could add things
  
• Goddess descends: The hime Fully manifests to deal with the situation think D&D divine intervention however if she does so Hiro loses complete control and blacks out

COMPLICATIONS
Influence of a goddess: Hiro is affected greatly by every whim of the goddess even if its unconscious and it can affect his development and change him both physically and mentally like only eating natural food or being forced to be dressed as a punk.
Room For Two: Having a goddess in your head and at times sitting on your desk in a school girl outfit can be distracting for things like talking with friends or finishing homework. He at times take a hit in concentration for average tasks when the princess wants attention.
Tasty Soul Do to the magic that has infused into his soul he represents a very tastey snack for evil spirits and other monsters think xxxholic blue seed or inuyasha
New Kid on the block This is meant to be largely a high school story after all
