Farsight

## Commander Farsight

Farsight was an experienced pro-hero, leader and founder of the hero agency Farsight's Vanguard, or simply The Vanguard.

## Appearance

Farsight wore his combat mechasuit most of the time, and is rarely, if ever, seen without it. The mech itself was 2,6m tall, of bright red colours, complete with sword and shield, and even if it appeared heavily armoured, it moves with a certain agility and precision you wouldn't expect from a machine.

Without Takashowa Hoitsu looks like **[Data missing]**

## Personality

To the point, serious and precise: Farsight was very much a military man through and through. He was characterized by his planning ahead and foresight (Hence his hero name).

However, he's very much idealistic: He tried to live up to the most broad definition of hero, being a beacon of hope for those he protected, and of fear for all evil doers. Because of this, he was known for his corny, heroic speeches, even in the heat of battle.

## Synopsis

### Before the events of the game

Farsight was born in 2148, in Tokyo. Now much was known about his youth, but after he graduated high school, he went to the military, where he served for roughly a decade. He then had a change of heart and decided to become a hero instead, graduating as a pro hero shortly afterwards. During his short period as a provisional hero, he acquired his mechsuit, and hadn't seen in public without it since then.

Ever since he started as a pro hero, he had had legal issues with certain support companies, especially **[Data missing].** The origin of this conflict is unknown to the public, but it went on for a long time.

Three years ago as of the first campaign's second year, he founded The Vanguard.

### In the game

Farsight first appeared during the "Swarm" questline

* In "The Swarm Hungers", where he was in charge of the overall defense of the Monsacro Inc. delivery center.

* He also appeared in "Swarm's Gambit" to brief the students before the operation, as well as participating in it himself, raiding the other hideout.

Afterwards, he told the students he will request their help again, so expect this list to be updated.

## Abilities

### Arch wielder

Farsight's quirk, Arc Wielder, allowed him to generate high intensity electric currents from his body. However, instead of using it straight up in a fight to harm his enemies, he mainly used it to power his mechsuit and sword.

### Combat Mechsuit X-V8

Farsight's main weapon and defense, the Combat Mechsuit X-V8. Equiped with a massive sword, canons, sidecanons, a plasma thrower, a shield and a jetpack, it represents the peak of technological achievements by support companies, providing the hero with all sorts of defensive and offensive capabilities.

## Trivia

* His sword was called "Dawnbreaker"
* Tech Priestess took care of all of his maintenance needs. Sometimes she switched the voice modulator to make him sound like an actual robot as a prank.
* He made sure to keep a close connection with all of the other pro-heroes in his agency, and took them to eat ramen to the stand near the corner of the street their hero agency offices are. His mech had a specific ramen-eating opening for this purpose.
