PapS: Hana Buttface :gif:

"A shit-eating grin, you say? Well, I certainly know a grin that could definitely be improved with a little bit of shit eating. Hehe."

Name: Hana Buttons
Codename: Durian
Class: Thief
DOB: 19/09/1970 [27 years old]
Sex: Male
Nationality: Welsh
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 133 lbs

Personality:

"Let me guess. You have a great one."

Hypocritical words really, considering a lot of people would consider Hana's to be pretty freaking lousy. A compulsive liar, Hana almost always has a tale to tell, though whether the tales he does tell are fabricated or based in reality are often questionable. Hana's smile is one that rarely seems to falter, though as far as smiles go, his is hardly comforting, nor does it speak of any warmth or genuine happiness. He does, however, tend to find humor in just about everything, no matter how grotesque or touchy.
He doesn't allow his small stature hinder him either, seeing it as more of an advantage than a disadvantage, especially when he has plenty of attitude to make up for his size. In other words, small person, big mouth, especially when regarding contempt and disdain for just about everyone. And if someone should have a problem with him believing himself to be better and more talented, it's okay.
Truly.
Someone his size will never be able to miss a well-aimed kick to the shins before running off in a fit of childish glee so to relish their own victory after all. And if he does lose? Well, he'll take it up the ass, do it with a smile.

Positive Traits:
Should he ever get captured during a mission or the like and an interrogation were to occur, his compulsive lying would be incredibly helpful as it would mean nobody would be getting any information! That's the only scenario where it would be helpful though, save for entertaining. Save for that, he's rather bullheaded, advantageous when it comes to goals. Give him a job and he'll do his utmost best to see it through until the end no matter what the obstacles are.
Even though he holds contempt and dislike for for authority figures as well, Hana's smart enough to not turn against them. He isn't a stupid person, and able to improvise and work things out when the situation calls for it.

Negative Traits:
Naturally, his bullheadedness also has a way of screwing things over for him. If he says anything, he'll stick to it and that's the end of that story. With his fabricated tales, this especially tends to bite him in the ass when something occurs to contradict the original story, such as when he emphasizes just how skilled he is at doing something he never even knew existed.
Hana is also derisive with his words, viewing all as unworthy and below him, even when he physically stands at a shorter height than most people. He's also generally unwilling to compromise on matters for the same reasons.

History:
Much like a lot of the population in this crapsack world, Hana's childhood was not exactly a happy one. His 'parents' were mere high schoolers who decided to take priority of fun over safety. With Hana just being a tiny, useless bundle, it isn't difficult to come to the conclusion that neither parent was pleased with this additional mouth to feed when their families were already reaching their limits. Still, not wanting to abandon him or drop him off into a system that could prove even worse, the 'father' decided to try and take SOME responsibility and took Hana under his wing, caring for the child where the mother was unwilling.

Hana grew up quickly, and the older he got, the more resentful he became of his surroundings. His family barely scraping by and holding it together, the young boy lashed out at others, often violently, despite his small size. The Tiny Fury, his father had affectionately nicknamed him, a name he not only despised, but was also adopted by others! THE ABSOLUTE NERVE. As if he needed anymore reason to smack them over the butt (since he couldn’t reach their heads).

His reputation took a change for better or worse when he met her though. Tessa was her name, a rather pretty though small girl who he found being picked on by his bigger schoolmates. What kind of asshole picked on someone who wasn’t their size anyway? Either way, few regrets were had that day, and it was very possible that Hana even met someone who didn’t get so much scorn out of him. A friendship was hastily formed, and Hana decided to name himself protector of the fine lady Tessa, despite her protests that he was being a dumb asshat for not seeing that she was a strong, proud, white woman who needed tiny shrimp to protect her.

Hana was stubborn though, and continued to follow her around. Nobody dared to mess with the Tiny Fury after all. Figuring she’d best accept him lest he sneak in through her window, Tessa allowed the little boy into her life and soon confessed that she had Cystic Fibrosis. Or rather, he noticed her going missing on a sporadic basis and eventually demanded an answer for it. Either way, despite the incredibly advancements in medicine during these times, Tessa had difficulty getting the medical attention she needed to help improve her quality of life thanks to the economy going to shit. Her ‘protector’ wasn’t having any of that though, for here was someone finally worthy of his company. So, ignoring potential consequences, Hana prepared himself to upgrade his little thieving ways. In the past, he had limited himself to small things such as candy as well as food when he could get away with it. That was different though. That was for himself.

But he did it, and he did it for her. Though it was small relief, his efforts were appreciated by both Tessa and her family. He became sort of an unofficial adopted brother to her, going as far as to eventually accompany her to the hospital when it could be afforded. He provided the medicines and the hand to hold, and she gave him a little bit of hope that there were people out there that was worth his company. And her company really was appreciated.

At least, until she went missing.

He didn't know why it happened or how, but all he knew was that she was gone, and has been for the past four years. Initially the tiny thief had allowed the police to deal with it, but between other crimes and probably hundreds of others gone, her case would be easily forgotten. Taking matters into his own hands only resulted in Hana getting his butt tossed into prison, something to do with attacking a police officer. Minor offense in his book, but it was serious enough to keep him in there for a few years. Or, so he thought.

Not soon after, he was contacted by Novak Industries with an offer of a steady job and a good living place. In these hard times, he couldn't exactly afford to be picky about how he made his way, and stealing only got him so far when he was being careful. Who was he to refuse? Plus, the sooner he got out of this cell, the sooner he could resume searching for Tessa.

Likes:
Snacking // Story telling // The sound of his own voice~* // Tessa // The sweet, sweet feeling of getting away with whatever his heart desires // Banter // Winning

Dislikes:
Being one upped // People trying to make his shortness seem like a bad thing // Excessively salty food // Small people being picked on by bigger people // Being tickled // Sunburns // Puns and awful jokes

Extra:
- Thanks to Tessa, Hana will automatically respond to being called 'Shrimp' in the event someone does call him by that name, often without realizing it.
- More often sunburnt than not
- Seems to have a tiny bit of a soft spot for those being picked on by those bigger than them, broken things, and little girls (not in the sick and nasty sense).
- When he isn't going around being a terrible little thief, he harvests fruits in the biodome! The app picture switches every 10 seconds, so you'll get to see him in that outfit too 8)

Prompt Response #2
Bright sun greeted Hana just outside the building, causing the small man to quickly bring a hand over his eyes, shielding them against the sudden brightness. Despite this mild little irritation though, as well as the fact that his nose and cheeks were already burnt and protesting from the extra sun, his grin hardly faltered. He was after all scheduled for an interview in the next ten minutes.

Waiting inside with nothing to do had made Hana antsy and impatient, so rather than face that and allow others the pleasure of his company, he decided to seek the warmth outside and get a better look at what could be his new living place. Having been recently moved out of cloudy Wales, he found this warmer climate rather refreshing.

He only had a little bit of time to soak it up and ponder the circumstances. Interesting circumstances too, seeing as he was offered some fruit picking job with more than reasonable pay. Turned out this place needed more than fruit pickers. Either way, he best be headed back inside to the aforementioned room. Even one as incredibly useful and amazing as him wouldn't be able to nail a job if they didn't show up to the interview to flaunt it!

Once back inside, Hana made his way to the room he was to be interviewed in and...he really was not pleased with the state of it. How dull! It gave absolutely nothing away save for the boring choice of colors the person responsible for painting this place apparently had. At least his dirt-stained boots added a bit more color to the room, though they probably wouldn't make for a very positive impression. Aw well. He was here to flaunt his skills and amazing fruit picking abilities, not be a poster child of hygiene. Taking a seat, Hana propped his feet up on the table and waited. All he could do at this point was wait.

I'M SO SORRY THIS IS SO LONG
PROBABLY THE LAST GROUP I'LL BE APPLYING TO FOR A WHILE TOO. So many nice groups suddenly seducing me gosh
Also just to clarify, any similarities to the webcomic are honestly coincidental as I have never read it in my life I just wanted to call my boy Hana

As for how often I'll be online? As often as you want
More seriously, I generally have a bit of free time to spare (about a couple of hours almost everyday at the minimum), so unless someone was otherwise notified of an incoming disappearance for any reason, I'll probably be around. I'm also open for RP in either the chatrooms or on Skype /o/

Good luck to everyone ovo/
