Power: Hibari will keep his Dying Will Flame! Dying Will is basically a form of ki/energy/etc. Hibari’s flame is purple, and has the property of propagation, though that doesn’t mean anything right now. Later the Flame will be able to affect and improve his weapons but just starting out, he’ll only be able to manifest it just barely, and it won’t do much except make his weapon a little sturdier.

Personality: (300 word min) There are a lot of conflicting parts to Hibari: quiet, brutal, confident, disinterested, but first and foremost, he loves fighting, he’s incredibly good at it, and he knows it. Through a combination of tactical intelligence, physical strength, skill, and inhuman pain tolerance Hibari has more than earned the title of the Vongola’s strongest guardian. He’s terrifying despite being fifteen years old, and has used his reputation and greater strength to extort his fellow students and make them obey his (sometimes entirely arbitrary) rules [http://tinypic.com/m/ek4zdg/2] There isn’t any kind of sympathy or amicability in him; in Hibari’s world, you’re either strong and on top, or you’re a weak herbivore and dependent on others for protection [http://tinypic.com/m/ek4z7r/2].

That said, looking at him, one really wouldn’t peg him as being bloodthirsty. Generally, he’s well-dressed, quiet but formal, and, frankly, bored when he’s not varying between amused, annpoyed, and killing things. It’s not uncommon to find him napping (and it’s just as common to accidentally wake him up and get bitten to death) or reading [I don’t think he does this in the canon manga, actually, but it’s all over various official art]. For amusement back home he liked to force the students of Namimori Middle into impossible to win games and then bite them to death for losing. [http://tinypic.com/m/ek4z1z/2] He seeks strong opponents relentlessly but he doesn’t have any compunctions about terrorizing the weak for as long as it amuses him to do so [http://tinypic.com/m/ek4z9s/2 and pretty much every time he violences Tsuna]. However, he’s just as likely to wander off yawning as not.

Hibari does work on his own personal code, and will always stick by his word [http://tinypic.com/m/ek4z8o/2]. He hates getting help of any kind from any one but he will always repay a favor done for him [http://tinypic.com/m/ek4zed/2 “Now we’re even.”]. He hates being restrained, whether by a debt, a feeling, or a physical tether, more than anything. He also loves collecting favors owed to him and will go out of his way to get them [http://tinypic.com/m/ek4yyt/2]. Once Hibari finds a worthy opponent he’ll do anything to fight them; he’s driven entirely by his will to win to the point where he will fight past the point unconsciousness [http://tinypic.com/m/ek4zf8/2]. For Hibari, losing is not something he thinks he’s even capable of. Anyone who proves themselves strong has Hibari’s respect, and these are the only people Hibari will recognize as having authority, such as Reborn.

And then there are the pieces totally out of line with Hibari’s normal personality: he loves his old school, Namimori Middle intensely; His violence is largely motivated by his desire for order and obedience to the rules; He’s strangely good with animals, like being able to tame birds [he teaches Hibird the Namimori anthem with his cell phone, talks to Roll and Hibird while fighting]. Hibari also tends to show up whenever he’s needed-he’ll always cite some other reason for being around, but he always fulfills his duties as cloud guardian. Ten years later he still has the same immediate subordinate (Tetsuya) and maintains the loyalty of Namimori’s Disciplinary Committee despite his difficult temperament.
