character info.
character name: Hanna Falk Cross
canon & medium: Hanna is Not a Boy’s Name / Webcomic
age & species: 24 / Human
appearance: 1; 2; 3
previous rpg memories: N/A
timeline: After his talk with zombie, regarding the cranes.
background/history link: WELL. Not all of his background has quite been discussed just yet, but I do know that something really terrible happened to him in his youth regarding ghosts and quite possibly his parents. Both are things he doesn’t like to talk about. The staples on his chest (seen in the third picture of his appearance section) likely has to do with this huge “something terrible,” and even has his cynical not-a-certified-doctor doctor Worth snapping at him whenever there are ghosts involved, causing Hanna to go behind his back once during the theatre case. I can, however, supply you modchans with this “timeline” of sorts regarding him, because that is all we have seen.
personality: So if you had a vampire infestation and you went to a paranormal investigator to exterminate the undead batties, would you have expected him to react with squeeing and wildly asking you questions about how vicious they are with a fantastically giddy grin on his face? Would you have expected him to be ecstatic about the prospect of living with a ten year dead zombie who can’t remember his name? Would you have expected someone named Hanna to be a dude at all? I hope so, because that’s the best way to sum up good old Hanna Falk Cross, self-proclaimed (but hey, he has a business card!) paranormal investigator. It’s no surprise that he gets so excitable about everything getting new cases that he can’t help but ask as many questions as his oxygen intake will allow. Who wouldn’t be ecstatic about the prospect of seeing ferocious sassy vampires or a whole new type of paranormal horror, right?
It’s better than the alternative. I mean, in a business regarding spooks and undeath, it’s probably better to have an investigator who is (overly) enthusiastic about anything not involving pain or failure than some jumpy ghost whisperer sissy. Hanna deals with some pretty scary stuff in his line of work (when he gets it anyway) - hell, his roommate is a freaking zombie - and his first case saw him vomiting blood after restoring a powerful (enemy) vampire, but HEY he’s just started this business, there are bound to be some kinks.
Except anyone else (named Conrad in particular) would say Hanna isn’t really that great at it (but Conrad is biased because he got killed and vampirized on Hanna’s first case, which is totally unfair to judge him on because it’s not like Hanna meant for that to happen, but I digress). In fact, Hanna is probably more accident or failure prone than any other unlucky shmuck you’re going to meet on the street, but no one else is going to take your paranormal problems seriously, or get even close to his enthusiasm. And frankly, he knows what he’s doing for the most part: he must be doing something right if he’s not dead yet.
It’s not as though he’s proud of his fuck up with Conrad (the wimpiest vampire ever by the way), however, it’s quite the opposite. The cases he’s taken since then have found Hanna very reluctant to put his friends in danger, taking more time to think about their safety rather than his own, or wrapping up the case. Even practical strangers are given more priority over his own wellbeing when it comes to subduing big paranormal nasties. He doesn’t want to make the same mistake he made with Conrad ever again, though even in Conrad’s Connie’s case, Hanna’s first priority upon finding the man dead was to make him not-dead, even if Connie’s doomed to be undead from here on out. Undead is better than murdered-by-a-vampire-dead, definitely. This concern for other people wasn’t borne from this recent failure, though, as it quickly becomes apparent it’s just how Hanna is. He might be a fuckup, but he’s at least a loyal fuckup who will try his f#cking best to keep a person safe and sound… ish.
Besides, worrying about others and asking all about the problems in their life makes it easier to avoid talking about himself, something he doesn’t even try to make subtle. Hanna will avoid any questions regarding his past with an all too obvious subject change or flat out tell a person that he doesn’t want to talk about it. At most, he’ll give someone the vaguest of details, and typically only when prodded enough, and even in that case he’s only opened up by a hair to his zombie roommate before immediately changing the subject. The whole story is never given (and only one person in the world likely knows it, and that would be Doc Worth, and like hell is he gonna tell you about it) and as long as Hanna doesn’t like to talk about himself, it never will. He’s never really expected anyone to ask about him, either.
It’s because of this intense reluctance that not very many people know why Hanna became a supernatural investigator in the first place, though he assures that it’s because “Hey this is AWESOME who WOULDN’T want to do this?!” Or maybe it’s because he got caught up with some hella big nasties once already without anyone to help him, and he doesn’t want anyone to be in that same position and thus offers whatever help he can because people shouldn’t be alone. … Naaaaah, it’s definitely that first answer. Definitely. Though if it were the second - which hey it totally isn’t - it’d make sense why he risks everything for a friend and why, as far as Conrad goes, he perceived undeath being the best ticket back from true death, and why he’d much rather try to negotiate with undead horrors than smash them with his trusty rune hammer - which of course only lasts until somebody gets hurt and then it’s stop: hammer time. But yeah that heavy stuff isn’t why he’s an investigator at all, okay, zombies and vampires are just totally boss.
As are potatoes, for the record. And the color orange.
abilities: Hanna’s trusted weapon, his hammer, is topped with a special rune that allows it to find paranormal activity as well as, uh, whack it in the face. But it can do that pretty well rune or not, really. He is also very well versed with runes, spells, and all the rules regarding them and each of the supernatural scares he meets. Even his first adversary (who gets away of course), comments that he really does know his stuff. Hanna knows a lot of offensive and protective runes, the latter primarily to ward against ghosts, which he draws with his magic marker typically on his own skin.
any plans for your character here? He’s going to be trying to figure out how he got here and what kind of magic and such thrives in this new world. He’d like to be getting back pretty soon, too, but along the way he’ll keep everyone annoyed. I mean protected. Protected is what I meant.
possessions: His hammer and magic marker please! A-and a jacket. Because I wrote it into my third person sample :U
