Created by Matt Parmenter
Bunraku
Alter Ego: Ono Haruhiko
Occupation: Member of The Ninja Guild
Known Relatives: None
Group Affiliation: The Ninja Guild
Base of Operations: Monster Island, Japan
Background/History:
Ono was a Bunraku, a puppeteer, and a good one, but he was a very difficult man
to deal with. He was not well liked, but his artistry was undeniable. His
attitude made it harder for him to make money, the harder it was to make money
made him more bitter, and the more bitter he got the worse his attitude became.
His life was a nasty vicious cycle. Following a show, he was approached by a fan
who had followed his work for years. He was a scientist who was working on
experiments at expanding mental capabilities and telekinesis, in particular. He
felt that the puppeteer’s skill at manipulating his puppets would make him
ideal for the telekinetic program. The procedure, involving electrodes in his
brain, was painful, but he very quickly showed positive results. A further
attempt proved disastrous as Ono lashed out from the pain and crushed the
scientist where he stood with the strength of his mind. When he came to his
senses, he panicked and ran. When he had processed everything, he realized that
he could focus his telekinesis very tightly on an object, but he had little
control otherwise. He began using his puppets as a focus and it worked
magnificently. So much so that he began systematically assassinating his enemies
using the puppets. His skill came to the attention of Ninja Master and he was
asked to join the Ninja Guild.
Personality/Motivations:
A bitter and mean old man, his main motivation is to show his superiority over
those who he considered beneath his skills, which would include virtually
everyone.
