Personality
Hiroki is a very diligent male. He doesn't mind putting effort in something and likes to help out people. Whether this are stangers or close friends, he tries to help everyone as good as he can. He can be a tad bit overprotective, definitely of those he cares about. He is also someone who is always ready to sacrifice himself for someone else, definitely those who are innocent or those who mean the world to him.
He is loyal to the bone. He would never betray those he cares about. If you have his word, you can rest assured that he will keep his promise. He has a strong feeling of justice and would never go against what he feels is honorable or just, no matter what is at stake. Yet authority can easily influence him and even slightly brainwash him into seeing things differently.
He shall hardly ever tell a lie to friends, even if the truth may be painful. He believes that being honest and true is one of the greatest virtues there is. Yet that doesn't mean he can tell the most beautiful lies there are in order to keep people safe. He has a great eye for detail, which helps him to never get caught within those stories he makes up.
Despite being very friendly and seemingly open, he has a hard time letting people in. He seems to always be on his guard when it comes to his personal thoughts and feelings. If discussing tactics he will always think about the greater good, rather than what would be best for him and this he can also apply to personal situations.
Biography
He grew up as the oldest son to a simple farmers family. Two years after him a second son was born, quickly followed by a third one a year later. They lived rather peacefully. Never had much, yet never had it bad either. They had enough to live from, they had a house big enough to hold them all and beds to sleep in. However when he was eight, that all changed when the crops had gone bad... The harvest was just enough to feed them and on top of it his father had become ill. He did what he could to make up for that loss, but being just an 8-year-old there was not much he could do...
One day in town, trying to exchange the few crops they had for some bread and meat, he heard that they were recuiting for young boys to help at the stables. After listening some more, he figured out that the payments that would be more than enough to help his family. Every month they would be paid a little bit, yet enough to help them buy the food and other stuff they needed to survive this horrible harvest. Not thinking much of it, he went to add his name on the list, only to be laughed at because of his young age. Disappointed he went home, yet determined to ask every day until they would accept him.
After a week of going back and forth, he finally got his wish granted. He got his little sack of coins and some time to say goodbye to his family. Yet, he didn't dare to say anything at home. He just silently let the money behind the next morning, before slipping out of the house to never come back. He would be one less mouth to feed, and one less life to worry about for his parents. Yet he made the promise that one day, one day he would return and he would make all the worries of his family go away. With that in mind he started his life at the stables.
Work was hard, it was too much for an 8 year old really. Yet he didn't give up, he didn't give in. He did everything to keep up with boys that were 4 years older to him. He had to prove himself over and over again, often shut out by the older boys. Yet Hiroki didn't mind as he found friends with the horses and the stable cats, with the birds that stayed for a few days before they took flight again. And the closer he became with these animals, the more things he started to notice. He became better in reading their body language, and it seemed like these animals really listened to him.
Years he worked at the stables, every month dutiful sending the money he earned back to his family. Keeping only that what he really needed for himself. Many of the other stable boys had gone, given up on their tasks, yet Hiroki had stayed. After all he couldn't leave his friends behind as he had discovered a way to talk with them. Really, talk with the animals he took care off. However he made sure to keep that a secret. Yet beside that, with him becoming older and one of the most loyal workers he was allowed more freedom. He didn't have to stay in the stables anymore, he was free to roam through the buildings. And that is how he found what would soon be his new destiny.
Graceful, skillful, every free moment he spend watching the trainings of those young warriors. Taking in all of it as he secretly trained in the stables when others were not around or asleep. The cats or birds would every now and then help him by stealing little things, small weapons, things like that. It wasn't until he was thirteen that one of the warriors found him training in the stables. Again he was laughed at, and perhaps they just wanted some entertainment for themselves. Yet he was allowed to follow lessons, as long as he could prove to develop and still be able to do his work.
It was an exhausting time, yet he managed to juggle all his tasks as well as becoming very skilled at archery. Despite the laughs, the trained warriors became quickly aware of how much they had underestimated this male. And at the early age of fifteen he was already deemed ready for the saddle. The bound he seemed to have with his horse was unbelievable and within months, he made his way up the ranks to an equal level of those who had been trained and prepared all their lives.
He was sixteen when he was send out for his first mission. A group of bandits had been terrorizing the small villages and needed to be stopped. As far as they knew the group of bandits was no more than six to ten persons. So a group of six of them should have been enough. However the information seemed to be false, something Hiroki quickly found out due to listening to the forest animals. He didn't waste time to inform his higher ups, the general that was leading their attack. Yet the general ignored his words, playing it off as simple Rookie fear. And there was no way that Hiroki could show the truth in his words. The six of them were ambushed and though they fought bravely, they were no match against the twenty five bandits in waiting. Had they been fully trained and aware of the threath, yes perhaps. But not this way.
Two of his friends, his fellow warriors, were brutally killed before his eyes, before the General decided it was better to turn and come back with more force. A third warrior they lost at the training camps, his wounds too much to heal for the medics. He had lost too much blood already. Yet the story of Hiroki trying to warn the General traveled fast, and the rumors grew just as fast. How could he have known there had been more bandits than they had estimated if he had not been a part of them? He had never been truly one of the warriors any way. Yet even now he gave not up, yet he also told no one his secret. He just kept on training, perfecting his aim, his skills, everything for when they would have their revenge.
It came not much later. A few weeks tops. Ten of them against the bandits that were left. Finally the warriors had their victory and the villages and travel routes were save. All rumors regarding Hiroki were silenced and forgotten, yet still it had been decided to send him off to a different station. One where he would be able to train more, learn more. Yet also a place he would no longer be able to keep an eye on his family. Even though he regretted that, duty called and thus he was send away. He never knew how master Wiyung had found him, probably through the many stories that went around about the warrior than once had been nothing more than a stable boy. Yet none of that mattered. It had been at his 18th birthday that master Wiyung had found him.
The offer was glorious and just, yet without hesitation Hiroki had turned it down. He was loyal to his masters and generals. Yet as je was mocked throughout the day, by those who were nothing better than him despite their lifelong training, his decision was made. At night he wrote out, using the birds to locate the master that had approached him. He did not need to explain himself as he accepted Master Wiyung has his only master. Over the years and with his masters training his skills has only increased, always ready to go where his master needed him to be...

It is his relationship with Mei Lam that stands this relationship in the way. Hiroki tries to be quite indifferent towards the male, yet Chih-Tui seems to dislike him with a passion. In return Hiroki disagrees with the overprotective way this older brother acts, as he thinks it limits Mei a lot in both her own confidence as well as her ability to grow as a person.

The Pig ~ Mei Lam
Their relationship has its ups and downs. Honestly he thinks she lets her feelings lead her decisions far too much. Yet on the other hand he also respects her for the strength to decide with her heart and soul. Even if that is not always what seems strategically the best. He often teases her, even has the special nickname Porky for her, but only because he wants her to see that she is more than she thinks and that she should be proud of whom she is. Despite how much they fight and bicker and annoy each other, he does care deeply about her.
