## **Origin**

Born with multiple birth defects, conceived by a prostitute mother and in an unhealthy state, Hermann was born ugly and unhealthy. His mother despised his looks and so did her client, therefore Hermann was left in the trash. Hermann would then be rescued and transmitted to an orphanage, from there, his Kinetic art awakens. It turns out that his father was a chemical engineer for the Military, and incorrectly handled a canister of mustard gas, which led to detonation. From there, he received Aerokinesis, which was then inherited by Hermann.

In the orphanage, he constantly always produced mist and fog, causing multiple disruptions, therefore he was shortly abandoned at the age of 5. Hermann then lived at the streets of cologne, living the life of a slum. However, he once witnessed one person pick up trash, which was a city janitor, so he wanted to help. During the night, he would collect any litter or trash that was on the floor and throw it properly. The following days, he would see the janitor light up and smile, therefore, it gave Hermann the inspiration to become a vigilante.

Everyday, Hermann looks for people to help, such as construction workers and local vendors. Then, in the night he would do his work and try to do any action that can possibly help them. This then served as his physical training as he got stronger and physically more capable. Eventually, Cologne would recognize all of his work, eventually making Hermann a mysterious hero. One night, he would witness a man get mugged in the alleyways of cologne. Hermann intervenes by surrounding the area with fog, later, hitting and incapacitating the muggers within little to no hits and kicks, eventually saving the man who just runs away out of repulsion of his ugliness. From here, Hermann levels up his comfort zone and starts getting physically involved and acting as a physical vigilante against criminals of the night.

By the age of 8, the city of Cologne would be bombed by British forces, during this time, Hermann helped evacuate wounded and clear debris to help save civilians, only from here would he get the recognition as a hero. The mayor, Grimm Klinge at the time decided to adopt him as a son.

Under Grimm's rule, Hermann would continue developing his strength and abilities with his Kinetic Art. At this point, Hermann was powerful enough to join the soon-to-be-declared Mercenary Corps. Hermann would then continue fighting crime, at this point, he is able to chase down escaping bank robbers, find fugitives and is capable of standing off against other corrupt Kinetic fighters. Yet, he continues to dwell in the dead of night to try and hide his identity, fearing recognition.

He then eventually meets Nikolas, whom he knows lost his parents, and by this point he raised him like a child and taught him about life, morality and other wisdom which helped him grow into a greater person. Nikolas was seen as a treasure to be protected and preserved at all costs by him, as he was the only one, apart from Grimm that cared for him. By this point, he managed to make Nikolas cling onto him, even during his teenhood. When Nikolas was sent to university, he was depressed that he could never see Grimm for a long time again.

One night, which would be thought to be the last night of his life, Hermann is informed and alerted of a notorious crime boss who's very powerful nearby. Devoted to kill him, he set out on a one-man investigation. Eventually he finds him and immediately starts a brawl, full power. The crime boss, "Wassermelone" would surprisingly have a hard time to fight him, however he still manages to defeat him. Wassermelone saw him as a manipulatable and valuable asset, therefore took him in.

Eventually, he is met by Adolf Hitler whom turned him into a zombie and "erased" his memories, making him a loyal servant.

## **Appearance**

Hermann is a tall man with an average muscly build. He has pale skin and multiple marks on his body, typically ones that belong to his kinetic art. He has depressed eyes with tense eyebrows, however his eyes widen upon tension. He has about three marks of Smog-o-kinesis on his face, alongside eyebags and droopy eyebrows. His hair seems to be a mix of a brush up and a styled hair. His face is wrinkly and described to be very ugly and repulsive. He doesn't wear a shirt and he wears loose pants with tucked bottoms. He wears one singular boot on his right foot. He also appears to be dirty, scarred and damaged.

## **Personality**

### **Feral**

Hermann is an out-of-control, barbaric creature during his feral mentality. It appears that he isn't able to properly speak or communicate and has intense bloodlust upon securing targets. During his immense bloodlust, his focus, speed and strength are enhanced, making him an intense target. However this bloodlust seems to only activate when he is seen, noticed or when he is suspected, otherwise he will not be violent and volatile. At this attitude Hermann is unable to feel empathy or any human emotions due to his mental state wherein he is incapable of feeling those due to the lack of access to his humanity.

### **Human**

Hermann appears to be kindhearted, protective and loving. He finds enjoyment and fun in crime-fighting and vigilantism. Nonetheless, he also likes helping people, but according to Melone, he doesn't make it his mission to do so, thus being a false hero. Due to the lack of observances, we can consider him a mentor and a man who has passion for heroism and crime fighting. However, he is also loving toward people of society, no matter how he is treated or seen.
