Powers/Abilities/Equipment
Train has shown remarkable speed and agility when running, as well as being able to run through an entire crowd to get to his target without their notice. Train has also shown that he can wield his gun like a melee weapon and hitting people to avoid shooting them after becoming a Sweeper.
+ Marksmanship: Train wields
Hades, an ornate 6 shot black revolver made out of Orichalcum with an XIII engraved into its side and a lanyard (which could be from Saya's gun). It weighs 2.5 kg. He is an extremely skilled marksman, able to accurately shoot down bullets from other guns, and make a number of bullets hit at exactly the same time as well as ricochet bullets off of multiple surfaces and effictivley hit a target. He is also ambidextrous.
+ Black Claw: A physical attack where Train slashes with his gun in three different spots at his target in one shot.
+ Black Cross: An evolved/alternate version of Black Claw, where Train instead slashes twice in the same spot for critical damage. The style in that he slashes resembles a cross in the form of an X.
+ Railgun: When his body became infected with nanomachines he manages to manipulate them to create static electricity. The orichalcum in his gun Hades can act as a catalyst for the nanomachines.This allows him to focus the electricity into the barrel of Hades, turning it into a railgun. He is able to fire three of these daily, due to the energy consumption it takes to create the electricity. Train loses this ability after using it against Creed in their final battle.
+ Burst Railgun: This is Train's strongest attack. Train is also able to use Sven's specially made bullets with the Railgun, as shown when he uses the Railgun to fire a Burst Bullet. He uses this to defeat Creed. However, the combination of the cells in Train's body as well as the raw strength of the bullet is able to destroy the orichalcum barrel of Hades. Due to Train's condition at the time of finishing Creed off with this technique, the energy put into the attack also deprives him of his nanomachines, thus, he loses the usage of his Railgun ability at the end of the manga series.
Hades is an ornate handgun issued to
Train Heartnet as the 13th member of the
Chronos Numbers. It is entirely made of
Orichalcum, the strongest metal on earth. It weighs 2.5g
Personality
Train's underground name is "Black Cat" because of the misfortune that lies in his wake. He always says to his target "I've come to deliver some bad luck" before killing them and he always completes a mission with 100% accuracy, without remorse. This is a side that
Creed, a comrade of lower ranking, admires. Train's demeanor is very cool, bordering nonchalant and almost detached until he met a girl, Saya, who was a bounty hunter who lived life as she wanted to. He then began to reveal a much warmer and more human side of himself, which Creed despised Saya for.
After giving up his life as an eraser working for Chronos, Train becomes a Sweeper (bounty hunter) and his personality changes drastically as he takes on a more lighthearted approach to life. There have been many scenes where Train is displayed carefree and even somewhat foolish. He often gets into fights with Sven (these fights involve Train letting another bounty slip through, his bottomless appetite, being way too silly, etc.) Following Saya's way of life, he refuses to kill, and seems to take enjoyment in annoying his enemies. He is not one to "look before he leaps" and his antics usually lead to accumulating debt that he and his partner Sven have collected from property damage. At times he is solemn, usually from regret that he was unable to help someone and other times, carefree and exuberant. There are times when Train will revert to his earlier personality when tempted.
Short Bio
Train Heartnet's parents were murdered in front of him when he was a small child by a mysterious and skilled gunner. After killing his parents, this man took Train in and raised him, forcing him to learn everything he knew about being a gunner and killer. Train hated this mentor, vowing to one day kill him when he was skilled enough. Before he could accomplish his goal, however, he one day found his mentor bleeding and dying in an alley way. After his mentor died, Train was recruited by an assassin organization known as Chronos.
Within Chronos, Train was so skilled that he was promoted to be one of the Chronos Numbers, an elite team of 13 assassins who were required to murder any targets they were given. Train was tattooed with the number XIII on his chest and given a special gun made of orichalcum. As a heartless, cold killing machine Train, nicknamed Black Cat, flawlessly carried out every execution he was required to handle until he one day met a carefree sweeper (bounty hunter) named Saya.
Saya taught Train that he didn't have to use his gun to kill if he didn't want to, the importance of being free, and showed him that Chronos was controlling his life. Feeling a change of heart after meeting her, Train left Chronos and became a sweeper himself, deciding that he didn't want to kill bad people, but instead collect a bounty for capturing them alive.
After the events of
Murder IX, Train's good friend Eve never returned home. Alarmed by her disappearance, he began to dig deeper into the reasons why she had disappeared in the first place, discovering she was brought into a strange phenomena called a Murder Game. In order to learn more about the Murder Games and to hopefully track down the disappearance of his friend, Train joined the Coalition.
